The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 with reference to the accompanying drawings-4, sunshade 10 according to the present invention comprises the framework 11 of rigidity, it is rectangle at plan view, has first end 12 that is suitable for being fixed to support member (for example wall of building or independently pillar), in use from the outwardly directed relative end 13 of support member, and be connected end 12, two parallel opposed side edges 14,15 of 13.Framework can be made by any firm, material impact-resistant, antiultraviolet, for example the steel of coating powders or aluminium alloys.
Side 14,15 can be only supported and/or supported every a segment distance along its length across its ground, end, and this depends on the length of side.If side 14,15 is supported by the length of a plurality of crossbeams along them, then can save end 12, one of 13 or these two ends all save.
The end 12, the 13rd of framework, simple support bar; Side 14,15 forms channel-section, and channel opening is towards inside of frame.
For major applications, framework 11 is arranged to stretch out from support member, the plane of framework is in the substantially horizontal plane, but sunshade of the present invention will be satisfactorily operates under framework is in situation on any orientation, even operates under the plane of framework is in situation in the vertical plane.
The size of framework 11 is a bit larger tham the area that need be covered by sunshade; Can regulate its size and ratio to be fit to requirement.Frame Design becomes for good and all or semipermanently to stay in the correct position.
Extended/the regracting of sunshade 10 partly comprises the flexible material 16 of rectangle length, the length that it is narrower than the inside of frame width slightly and is longer than framework slightly.An end 17 of flexible material 16 is fixed to and is wound on the rolling-up roll 18, and rolling-up roll 18 is positioned near the end 12 of framework and is parallel to end 12.The end 19 of roller 18 is installed in the bearing (not shown), and this bearing fixing is adjacent with end 12 to the side 14,15 of framework.Rolling-up roll 18 is arranged to manually or by any drive unit in the known drive means (not shown) scope be driven by the direction along arrow A (only Fig. 3).Preferably, power is provided for rolling-up roll 18 by the miniature motor that is installed in the roller.
Flexible material 16 can be for good and all or semipermanently is installed to roller 18 but preferably if be attached to roller 18 so that flexible material 16 wears or damages, can changes flexible material 16 by removable device (for example, shackle connect).Flexible material 16 can be the material of any suitable tough and tensile, antiultraviolet, for example, and the fabric of canvas, sheet plastic material, plastic coat.
The flexible material 16 that is in the extended position shown in Fig. 1 reaches end rail 20 from rolling-up roll 18, and the outer end 21 of flexible material for good and all or by removable shackle is affixed to end rail 20.For allow flexible material 16 from rolling-up roll 18 around down and move to extended position, rolling-up roll 18 can break away to allow that rolling-up roll rotates freely along the direction opposite with arrow A with its drive unit.
In the extended position shown in Fig. 1, flexible material is rolled-up roller 18 and 20 supports of end rail not only, and are supported by mid-rail 22, there is shown three in the mid-rail.Should understand that depend on the total length of sunshade and the expection wind load on the sunshade, the quantity of mid-rail can increase or reduce.May only need single mid-rail 22 for short sunshade.
The purpose of end rail 20 and mid-rail 22 is support flexible material opposing blast :-ascending air and downdraught are flapped flexible material 16 and may be caused remarkable infringement rapidly.End rail 20 and mid-rail 22 all are the separate type rails, and as shown in Fig. 3 and 4 :-each rail 20,22 is actually a pair of rail parallel to each other and that only link together in their end.Every pair of rail in each separate type rail links to each other by arm 23a, 23b respectively in each end, arm 23a, 23b also are fixed to junction plate 23, junction plate 23 provides the connection of firm and rigidity and supports the roller 24 that can rotate freely between this is to the rail in the separate type rail, roller 24 is located in the groove 27 that is arranged in the adjacent side 14,15, the 27a and can moves along trough roller on any direction in both direction when sunshade stretches out or withdraw.Alternatively, roller 24 can form the sliding part that slides along groove 27,27a.
Separate type rail 20,22 is expressed cross section for circular, but is not to be necessary for circle.The separate type rail also is represented as the rail that has same diameter in the rail of the upper and lower of every pair of rail, but this can change :-for windy position, may wish with the upper rail of bigger rail as every pair of rail, to strengthen sunshade to the resistance of ascending air.
Flexible material 16 is not fixed to mid-rail 22, and can slide between two parts of each rail, as hereinafter describing.
End rail 20 and mid-rail 22 link together by the linkage that is two ropes 25,26 forms, and two ropes extend between rail, and are adjacent with each longitudinal edge of flexible material.Each rope 25,26 can be that single continuous rope (as shown) maybe can be a plurality of divided portion that are connected the rope between the adjacent rail 20/22,22/22,22/22.Single or multiple ropes 25,26 are connected to corresponding arm 23a, therefore are connected to the roller 24 on each side of each rail 20/22.Be connected near the rolling-up roll anchor point 28,29 near each end of the rail 22 of rolling-up roll 18 by rope 25, a part of 26.Linkage preferably is connected between the end of rail, as shown in FIG., but also can be connected other places on the rail.
Each end of end rail 20 is connected on the end 13 of framework or near anchor point 30,31 by mobile device, mobile device is bifilar thick elastic threads 32,33 form, bungee jumping rope (only shown in Fig. 2 and 4) for example, its length is such so that in the retracted position of sunshade, elastic threads is tightened up.
The following operation of above-mentioned sunshade: the framework 11 of-sunshade is fixed to the proper supporting part by end 12, so that sunshade is protruding above the zone that will be covered by sunshade.When sunshade was in the retracted position, flexible material 16 almost completely was wound on the takers-in 18; Fig. 2 represents the sunshade near complete retracted position, but, for illustrative purposes, not withdrawal fully :-in complete retracted position, separate type rail 22/20 all is positioned near the roller 18.In complete retracted position, elastic threads 32,33 is strained fully, and by mechanical lock (if sunshade mechanically is provided with power) or by the lock on the CD-ROM drive motor of rolling-up roll 18 sunshade is remained in the retracted position.Should understand that in complete retracted position, flexible material 16 is exposed to dust, rain and sunlight minimumly, and can not collect the ring of the flexible material of water or insect.In addition, the sunshade of withdrawal is neat and inconspicuous in appearance fully.
For sunshade is stretched out, remove the lock on the rolling-up roll, so that rolling-up roll can rotate freely; This allows elastic threads 32,33 withdrawals, will hold rail 20 to pull to end 13, and motion is played with one in the end that hauls flexible material.This motion make flexible material 16 from rolling-up roll 18 around down and flexible material 16 stretch out or reach select location along the length of framework 11 in the whole length of framework 11.When flexible material 16 has reached stretching out of required degree, can sunshade partly be stretched out by pinning rolling-up roll 18.
Rail 20 is connected to rail 22 by rope 25,26, so that when rail 20 as mentioned above towards the end 13 when advancing, rope 25,26 in tow the rail 22 of its back up to rail 22 till being separated along the length of framework 11 by the determined position of length of the rope 25 between the adjacent rail 20/22,22/22,22/22,26 part.
The complete extended position of sunshade is as shown in fig. 1 :-rail 22 seldom equidistantly separates along the length difference of framework 11, provides support to resist ascending air and downdraught for flexible material 16.
For sunshade is withdrawn again, make rolling-up roll 18 rotations so that flexible material 16 is wound on around the roller 18.This will hold rail 20 to pull back towards the end 12 of framework 11, and flexible material 16 form mid-rail 22 many slide between to rail push end 12 to up to the adjacent rail 22 of end rail 20 contacts and with this rail till.When flexible material 16 is wound on the rolling-up roll 18 gradually, each mid-rail 22 be pushed to successively retracted position all be positioned at up to rail 20,22 be adjacent to each other, near till the position of rolling-up roll 18.This motion is with elastic threads 32,33 tensions.
In retracted position, rope 25,26 forms with ring are suspended between the adjacent rail, but because rope is thin, so they can not collect water or insect in any perceptible degree, they are not ugly yet.As described above sunshade is locked in the retracted position.
In Fig. 5-8, the second embodiment of the present invention has been shown.The principal character of this embodiment is when sunshade is in withdrawal/deposit position, and the linkage between end rail and the mid-rail does not hang down below the sunshade, but is not positioned at boldly on the upper surface of sunshade.
Sunshade framework 11 and rolling-up roll 18 be with described identical with reference to figure 1-4, and use same Reference numeral in the accompanying drawings.End rail 40 and mid-rail 41 are formed the separate type rail, as described in reference to figure 1-4, still are groove 27, the 27a in rectangular cross section (seeing Fig. 8) and the side 14,15 that passes through sliding part rather than roller engage frame; Sliding part is arranged to slide at low friction polyester mesh surface (not shown).
As the preceding embodiment, flexible material 16 is not fixed to mid-rail 41, but is free to slide between two parts of track.
Linkage 42 is the form of lightweight rope, and it comprises elastic part.With particular reference to Fig. 7 and 8, each mid-rail 41 and end rail 40 are equipped with two anchor points that separate 43, respectively have one near the two ends of rail.Each mid-rail 41 also is equipped with two porose retainers 44 that separate.Each anchor point 43 and each retainer 44 are the pin that the upper surface from the top of corresponding rail stretches out simply, and the longitudinal axis of pin is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of rail.
With reference to figure 7a and 7b, each linkage 42 comprises the first elastic part 42a, and it at one end has ring 45 and has block 46 at the other end; In use, ring 45 engages with one of anchor log 43.In Fig. 7 a and b, for clear, a linkage is represented as dotted line.
The second portion 42b of each linkage 42 is inelastic ropes, and it is connected to elastic part 42a at block 46 places, passes the aperture in the adjacent retainer 44 and anchors to one of anchor point 43 on the adjacent rail.
On each mid-rail 41, the upper surface of the first elastic part 42a from one of anchor point 43 along rail of each linkage 42 extends to the retainer 44 away from the anchor point 43 of fixing this first elastic part 42a, second portion 42b is at the anchor point 43 that extends to above the upper surface of fabric 16 on the adjacent rail 41 then, this anchor point is relative diagonally with the anchor point 43 of fixing above-mentioned part 42a, so 42 one-tenth zigzags of each linkage are across the upper surface of sunshade.
Specifically with reference to figure 5, sunshade shown in this Fig has three mid-rail 41a, 41b, 41c, the linkage 42c that is fixed on the anchor point 43a on the first rail 41a left side extends to away from the retainer 44a of anchor point 43a along this rail, extend downwardly into then on the next rail 41b, with anchor point 43a relative anchor point 43b diagonally.Rail 41a also has the second linkage 42d, and it extends to retainer 44b from the second anchor point 43c on the rail 41a along this rail, extends downwardly into the relative anchor point 43d diagonally with anchor point 43c then.
On the second rail 41b, anchor point 43b and 43d engage with two other linkage 42f, 42e, and linkage 42f, 42e are connected in an identical manner to anchor point 43e and the 43f on the 3rd rail 41c.Sunshade shown in Fig. 5 is shorter, only has three mid-rail; Thereby linkage 42g, the 42h of the 3rd mid-rail 41c are connected to anchor point 43g, 43h on the end rail 40.
