Abstract
The present application deals with a grid flap, comprising a multiplicity of vertical and horizontal grid struts, a frame which surrounds the grid struts, wherein a vertical and a horizontal grid strut respectively overlap in a crossing point, characterized in that the crossing points of the grid struts are made of one piece. As the grid is self-supporting because of its topology (made of one piece) and the overlapping of two grid struts can be avoided, double areas or cavities can be avoided, which contributes to a hygienic design of the grid flap.
Claims10
A grid flap, comprising:
- a multiplicity of vertical and horizontal grid struts,
- a frame, which surrounds the grid struts, and
- at least one strengthening strut integrated in the frame by which forces applied to bearings, from which the grid flap can be supported, are transmitted to the grid flap,
- wherein the vertical and horizontal grid struts overlap in crossing points characterized in that the crossing points of the grid struts are made of one piece, and connection of the grid struts to the frame is formed in a flush manner, wherein the multiplicity of vertical and horizontal grid struts, the crossing points and the frame are made of one piece, the connection of the grid struts to the frame is formed as a steady transition and the grid flap has a radius of curvature such that the grid flap is non-planar.
