Description

A. State of the art

Shelters for a wide variety of uses are usually on several pillars, beams or columns Asked structures. The simplest type is a rectangular flat roof resting on four vertical girders at the corners.

Due to different constructions (eg load-bearing points supported by struts) as well as the use of different materials (stone, wood or metal), canopies can also be found in various other forms.

The usual protective roofs, in particular for larger objects (eg motor vehicle), are block-shaped, heavy, rigid and firmly connected to the ground. Once they have been erected, they can only be dismantled, rebuilt and rebuilt - if at all - with damage or destruction. In most cases, the supports hinder the use (eg extension and retraction, maneuvering) of the protective roofs. The construction requires a variety of tools and extensive craftsmanship or even static knowledge. The associated costs also complicate the economically wide use.

As an example, the solar carport 'Sun4Charge' is mentioned, which indeed offers roofing with photovoltaic elements with the further solar technology equipment and the placing of vehicles, but firmly connected to the ground, not fexibel and hardly otherwise variable usable.

B. forms

1st basic form / long form

The basic form consists of two parallel arcuate, telescopically inserted lateral support (in profile a lying egg equals) round metal or plastic hollow frame (o. Ä. Material), which are connected to struts and on the crossbars a close-meshed or a closed tarpaulin as a cover (drawings Figure 1-4).

• – einem langen Bodenträger,
• – einem Höhenträger und
• – zwei Dachträgern

The long version, z. B. to use as a carport, consists of two sheets with each

• - a long shelf,
• - a height carrier and
• - two roof carriers

The radius of curvature (about 1.25 m) of the height carrier gives the desired height, which in the basic version is about 2.50 m.

All elements, from the floor support to the front roof rack are telescoped into each other and taper each to the foremost roof rack. This ends with a ball in which an LED light can be embedded. Due to the insertion depth of the following elements and the use of different roof beams, the overall construction is variable in height and length.

The width is determined by the cross struts, which is variable by the grid lengths from 2.00 m and in grid increments of 0.25 m and by the insertion depth into the connectors. The basic width of 2.35 m to over 3.00 m is z. B. intended for carports. Special dimensions are possible.

2. short form

• – einen kurzen Bodenträger,
• – einen Höhenträger
• – ein Reduzierstück sowie
• – einen Dachträger

The short form (drawings in Figure 6) has basically the same egg shape as the long form, but is squat and has

• - a short shelf,
• - a height carrier
• - a reducer as well
• - a roof rack

The short form is z. As a shelter for sporting events (for coaches or athletes), park bench, tanning bed, waiting station, seating in a garden or the like suitable.

These carriers are telescoped (see above basic shape / long form) inserted into each other and offer a different wide projection. The stringing and lighting options are the same as the long form.

As with the basic form, the carriers are connected to cross struts and variable by grid lengths from 1.25 m and the insertion depth in the connectors in width.

The variants and options of the short form correspond to those of the long form.

3. Special designs

a. compact design

The long or short forms can be connected in series or as a block.

In the row construction can be omitted at the middle parts per canopy a side panel. At the height and roof beams, the connectors for the cross braces have brackets in both directions.

In the block design, the arches of the height elements are laterally offset screwed together.

b. Variant without bottom support

In suitable mounting situations (existing load-bearing masonry), both the long and the short form of the protective roof can be attached to existing buildings.

For this purpose, a specially shaped height support (only one-sided bow) is required as a fastener.

C. Options

1. Impact protection (optional)

The floor support of the long version is intended for use as a carport at an altitude of about 0.15 m above the ground impact protection.

2. Device box (optional)

To accommodate the electronics and electric storage for subsequent electrical equipment between the two bows of the floor support a lockable secured box can be mounted (drawings Figure 5 BZ 4 ) This box can also be used for other purposes (secure storage of items).

3. Solar equipment (optional)

Instead of the covering between the two roof racks with net or tarpaulin can optionally be done by a covering with integrated thin-film solar modules. Alternatively, it is also possible to use rigid thin-walled thin-film solar modules mounted on two transverse struts each.

Basically connected with this is the further equipment of the canopy with equipment box (B. 2.), LED lights with light sensor and motion detector as well as charging socket (B. 4.).

4. LED lights with light sensor and motion detector, charging socket (optional)

At the approach of the roof rack (transition from the height support to the roof rack) and the two ends of the roof rack (balls) is ever an LED lamp installed, so that each unit always at least four LED lights are present (Figure 4 BZ drawings 1 ).

5. sitting / lying areas / folding table (optional)

For the use of the short form as a covered sitting or lying device modules for sitting or lying areas can be used at the transition from the floor support to the height support (drawings Figure 7-8)).

6. Massive roofing (optional)

Alternatively to the roof covering (net or tarpaulin) are also rigid, from max. Approximately 0.50 m wide panels existing elements between the two arches possible, which are each attached to the crossbars. This limits the variability in length.

7. Compact design (optional)

For the arrangement of the protective roof in a compact design in series or as a block, the necessary fasteners are provided.

In row construction, the middle protection roofs each have a side panel. The crossbar connectors have brackets in both directions.

In the construction as a block are at least two canopies with the height supports and these laterally offset from one another. The height beams are connected to each other at the two intersections of the circular arcs.

8. Variant without bottom support (optional)

For attachment of the canopy, z. B. on a load-bearing wall, a height support is needed with down straight straight pipe. As a result, the canopy can be fixed flush with the wall and the bottom support omitted.

D. Detailed description

1. carrier material

• – Edelstahl (ggf. auch verzinkter Stahl)
• – Aluminium
• – glasfaser-(GFK) oder kohlenstofffaserverstärktem Kunststoff (CFK)
• – o. ä. geeignete stabile Materialien

As a carrier material can be used

• - Stainless steel (if necessary also galvanized steel)
• - Aluminum
• - fiberglass (GRP) or carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP)
• - o. Ä. Suitable stable materials

2. carrier forms

The basic shape of the floor, height and roof beams as well as the cross struts is basically a pipe that can be round, oval or triangular according to the static requirements.

• – Bodenträger: Außendurchmesser 50 mm/Innendurchmesser 45 mm; Materialstärke 2,5 mm
• – Höhenträger: Außendurchmesser 45 mm/Innendurchmesser 40 mm; Materialstärke 2,5 mm
• – Dachträger I: Außendurchmesser 40 mm/Innendurchmesser 36 mm; Materialstärke 2 mm
• – Dachträger II: Außendurchmesser 36 mm/Innendurchmesser 32 mm: Materialstärke 1,5 mm

The tube of the bottom support has the largest dimension. The construction tapers with each additional inserted tube part to the material thickness used and has the smallest diameter or the smallest dimension on the front roof rack. In an exemplary construction of four steel elements, the following pipe dimensions or material thicknesses result (still without static calculation):

• Bottom support: outer diameter 50 mm / inner diameter 45 mm; Material thickness 2.5 mm
• - Height support: outer diameter 45 mm / inner diameter 40 mm; Material thickness 2.5 mm
• Roof carrier I: outer diameter 40 mm / inner diameter 36 mm; Material thickness 2 mm
• - roof rack II: outer diameter 36 mm / inner diameter 32 mm: material thickness 1.5 mm

The areas of the insertion openings on the floor, height or roof beams I for a follower element are each reinforced over a length of 0.25 m with pipe material of the next larger width (of the previously inserted element) (eg height support: outer diameter 44 mm - Reinforcement through pipe section from the floor support).

Alternatively, instead of the tubes and metal-T-support for the floor, height and roof beams are conceivable that instead of telescopically inserted into each other at the connection points, parallel overlapping assembled / joined and screwed; the connections with the cross braces are to be modified accordingly.

Annotation:

For reasons of simplification, the basic construction will be discussed below. However, this always applies to the others o. A. Shapes of the beams or struts. More costly, but more effective to use, is likely to be the oval or triangular shell shape.

3rd floor support

The floor support is the basis of the construction and consists of a round tube with an outside diameter of at least 50 mm - depending on the material used and the static load (projection of the roof). The round tube leads the arc curve following and increasingly compressed in a lying on the floor upwardly open U-beam and is fixed therein.

The bottom support consists of an upwardly open U-beam with a material thickness of about 5 mm and an inner width corresponding to the compressed tube of the used or attached height support
(eg pipe outside diameter 50 mm × Π / 2 = about 79 mm
= Width of the compressed round tube
= Inner width of the U-beam).

The lateral inner height of the U-beam is about 10 mm and should be completely filled by the strength of the compressed round tube.

In the upwardly open U-beam, the compressed tube of the height support initially runs parallel and then passes after about 1.50 m in a tubular open arch with a radius of about 1.25 m, which at a height of about 0 40 meters over the base ends.

The floor support has a length of about 2.75 m and runs flat at the respective ends (from a U-beam to a flat end).

The longer part is under the roof until under the transition to the height support and has a length of approx. 1.50 m. He serves above all the stability of the construction. At the front shorter part of the Bodenträges the support to the height support is firmly attached. Above all, the short part of the bottom support ensures the anti-tilt protection of the construction.

For the long form, the bottom support under the roof is extended by up to approx. 2.25 m. The extension also consists of a U-beam, with about 2.75 m the same length as the bottom support and a max. Outer width according to the inner width of the floor support and a max. initial side height of 10 mm. The extension runs flat ahead.

• – auf hartem Untergrund von oben in den U-Träger des Bodenträgers eingelegt und mit diesem verschraubt
• – bei weichem Boden von unten mit dem Bodenträger verschraubt und trägt somit zur weiteren Stabilisierung des Schutzdaches bei.

The floor support extension overlaps by at least 0.50 m

• - placed on hard ground from above into the U-beam of the bottom support and bolted to it
• - Bolted on soft ground from below with the bottom support and thus contributes to further stabilization of the canopy.

In the floor support are at least 3 places (front, center and rear) holes of about 15 mm diameter available, which serve to attach the ground anchors.

4. Ground anchor

• – Spiral-Bodenanker – ca. 0,50 m lang für die Langform des Schutzdaches – ca. 0,30 m lang für die Kurzform des Schutzdaches
• – U-Heringe für Rasenflächen
• – Langschrauben mit Dübeln für das Fixieren des Schutzdaches auf festen Untergründen wie Bitumen oder Beton und der Möglichkeit, das Schutzdach ab und an der selben Stelle wieder aufzubauen.

If the protective roof is to remain permanently or at least for a long time at a fixed location or if it is to receive a wind-protected position, the floor supports (depending on the underlying ground, screwed in or embedded in concrete) are provided for anchoring:

• - Spiral ground anchor - approx. 0.50 m long for the long form of the protective roof - approx. 0.30 m long for the short form of the protective roof
• - U-pegs for lawns
• - Long screws with dowels for fixing the protective roof on solid surfaces such as bitumen or concrete and the ability to rebuild the canopy from and to the same place.

5th height carrier

The height-bearing largely determines the overall height of the canopy. The tube of the height carrier has an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the bottom support.

The height girder has a length of approx. 2.50 m and is bent with a radius of 1.25 m. It is placed approx. 0.25 m in the floor support and fixed there with the allen wrench screws on the reinforced edge of the floor support.

6. Roof rack (DT)

a. Basic form

The tube of the first roof carrier (DT I) has an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the height carrier. In its basic form, the DT I has a length of 2.50 m. The first meter is bent in a radius of 1.25 m (corresponding to the curvature of the height girder); in the further course, the bow flattens almost to the point of total extension.

The tube of the second roof rack (DT II) has an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the DT I. Also, the DT II has a length of 2.50 m and continues the slight final curvature of the DT I.

The DT I is placed at least 0.25 m in the height support and the DT II also at least 0.25 m in the DT I, so that the entire construction of the floor support to the second roof rack increasingly tapers. The insertion depth allows the overall length of the construction to be varied. The maximum length is approx. 5.00 m. The nested carriers are fixed with Allen wrench screws on the reinforced edges of the preceding carrier.

b. short form

For the short form, the height carrier with the smallest radius is used. If necessary, use taper spacers before the roof rack with the lowest outside diameter completes. The roof rack has a length of 2.50 m. The first meter is bent in a radius of 1.25 m (corresponding to the curvature of the height girder); in the further course, the bow flattens almost to the point of total extension. All roof rack end pieces are closed by a connecting piece (VstQ) with a ball with a diameter of at least twice the pipe diameter of the attached pipe.

7. Connectors for cross struts (VstQ)

The material of the VstQ corresponds to that of the basic construction.

• – einem 0,25 m langen Rundrohr mit einem Innendurchmesser entsprechend dem Außendurchmesser des zu bestückenden Rohres
• – zwei Gewindebohrungen mit Madenschrauben auf der Unterseite
• – einem 0,30 m lange, in der Mitte des o. a. Rohrteiles angeschweißte oder sonst wie unlösbar verbundene Querstrebenhalterung (Rundrohr mit zwei Gewindebohrungen auf der Unterseite für Madenschrauben)

The VstQ consist of

• - A 0.25 m long round tube with an inner diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the pipe to be equipped
• - Two threaded holes with grub screws on the bottom
• - a 0.30 m long, welded in the middle of the above tube part or otherwise unsolvable connected cross strut bracket (round tube with two threaded holes on the bottom for grub screws)

The final VstQ (on the front roof rack) is closed to the front with a ball (diameter at least twice the pipe diameter of the attached pipe). This VstQ has a length of approx. 0.20 m with an insertion depth of approx. 0.15 m and a transverse strut mount attached here. In the ending ball, an optional LED light can be integrated.

Several VstQ can be set with different functions one behind the other to B. other options, such as a seat or backrest (drawings Figure 6 BZ 5 ) as well as additional LED lights.

The VstQ not only accommodates the cross struts and serves to attach and support the fabric, but determined by the depth of insertion of the cross struts, the width of the overall construction and supports the fixation of the insertion depth of the following carrier and thus the overall length of the construction.

B. cross struts

The cross struts give the overall construction the stability and determine its width. Furthermore, they serve the support and attachment of the fabric and in different forms as a backrest or pivot points for seats, chairs or folding tables.

They have a length of 1.50 m in increments of 0.25 m to 3.00 m.

The cross struts basically consist of tubes in the material of the basic construction and have a diameter according to static requirements (about 20 mm).

The cross struts are inserted into the holders of the connecting pieces and fixed in them with at least two screws. The insertion depth determines the width of the construction. With a given minimum insertion depth of 0.15 m, a variable width of the overall construction of up to 3.30 m is achieved.

9. covering

The covering is a flame-retardant, weather-resistant, fiber-reinforced, close-meshed net or, alternatively, a dense tarpaulin, which in the same way is flame-retardant, weather-resistant and fiber-reinforced. By covering with a tarpaulin there is a most extensive protection against all influences from above.

A covering (Drawings Fig. 4 BZ 2 and Fig. 6 BZ 2 ) with a net offers only a relative rain protection but nevertheless a high sun, hail and Reifbildungsschutz with a wind-permeable, light and stable construction. According to the selected alternative, different static loads and thus designs are to be observed.

The covering is fastened to the foremost cross strut and can be pulled variably up to the level of the cross strut at the height of the connection between the stringer / roof rack (DT I) and the connection to the stretcher / height support. Decisive is the intended protective purpose (only roof or roof and back protection).

To reduce the wind pressure, the fabric can be interrupted on a cross brace and, with an overlap of the tarpaulin, continued on a new cross brace.

For fastening the clothing, a Velcro strip is sewn in at both longitudinal sides of the clothing track at a distance of approx. 0.30 m from the edge.

In order to reduce the wind pressure from below on the construction, this can by the lateral overlaps of the covering between Velcro and straps (about 2 × 0.30 m) and in the area of the transition from the roof covering to the rear covering (by loose (with rubber fixed overlap of the tarp covered distance of about 0.5 m between two cross struts) escape.

From below, the fabric is fastened with velcro straps to the cross braces. The stringing is on the cross struts, which at a distance of max. 1.20 m between the roof and possibly height beams are attached. The end of the clothing is fixed with a special cross brace, with the aid of which the fabric can be tightened, wound up and thus varied in length or on any cross brace by means of Velcro.

The covering is provided in widths of approx. 2.50 m, 2.75 m or 3.00 m and lengths of 2.00, 2.50 m, 4.50 m or 5.50 m.

Optionally, the clothing can be partially or completely replaced by flexible thin-film solar modules integrated in the clothing.

10. Impact protection (optional)

For the long version (carport) an impact / collision protection is offered, which can be mounted between two arch parts of the floor supports with two connecting pieces and a cross brace at the desired height (recommended 0.15 m above the floor support).

The impact protection consists of the material of the construction; but can be additionally strengthened.

For carports with device box it is recommended to mount impact protection in front of the device box.

11. Device box (optional)

Between the two arches of the bottom support and on this lying and connected to these, but offset from the ground, can be a variable in width and height stable device box (Figure 5 BZ drawings 4 ) to be assembled. It consists of the material corresponding to the overall construction and is closed on all sides. For possible drainage and ventilation, the floor has smaller openings; Similarly, under the Abtropfüberstand small vents are present.

The box has on average the shape of a forward (outward) sloping pent roof with a small Abtropfüberstand. At this outer edge of the cover is hinged hinged. At the higher inner edge of the pent roof is slightly cranked and closed.

The box is available in two sizes in order to be able to accommodate especially extensive technology (eg solar storage, control technology) or storage material (eg seat upholstery).

It is variable in width in that it consists of two overlapping guided parts in the middle, the width of which can be adapted and locked to those of the overall construction. This lock can also be used simultaneously to lock the box.

The device box is a mandatory component of the following electrical options. In the box the electrical engineering and the memory are secured against unauthorized access.

12. Solar equipment (optional)

Without connection to an electric power grid as well as for an ecological and economical use of electrical energy, all protective roofing variants described here can optionally be equipped with solar technology.

In whole or in part, a roof covering can be replaced by tarpaulins provided with integrated flexible thin-film solar modules or by stable photovoltaic elements. For a carport model, a usable area of up to approx. 12 m ² is available.

The electricity thus gained can be used to illuminate the carport at night (eg when approaching and / or by means of time switching for the protection and safety of the vehicle and persons), for recharging electric vehicles (e-bike, e-car etc.) or for Feed into a power grid can be used.

The required electronics and the electric storage (capacity corresponding to the installed area of the solar modules and the intended use) are housed in the device box.

Motion sensors, charging connectors and light sources are always installed as close to the weather as possible to the electronics and are protected against damage as far as possible.

The wiring is made in the pipes of the overall construction, so that it is also protected from damage.

13. LED lighting (optional)

The equipment with at least four LED lights (drawings Fig. 4 BZ 1 ) belongs basically to the solar option.

The LEDs are largely embedded flush in the construction and protected; the luminosity is offered in two variants. The LED wiring is protected by the inside of the pipe.

In addition to the minimum equipment, an LED module (always in pairs) can be used at each connection point of carriers inserted into one another.

14. Electric storage (optional)

Depending on the intended use of the solar option (local lighting, charging devices / vehicles on-site or feeding into a power grid) different electric storage units are available. The memory and the associated electronics are generally housed in the device box.

15. Sitting / lying areas / Folding table (optional)

Both the long and the short form can optionally be equipped with seating and / or lying surfaces.

The required module consisting of at least two VstQ for round cross braces, a round cross brace, which is the axis of rotation and attachment points, as well as the sitting or lying areas or folding tables.

The VstQ are placed above the ground support on the height support and rest on the ground support; the cross struts are mounted in the width of the construction in between.

• – eine parallel zur Querstrebe eingesetzte Sitzbank
• – bis zu vier parallel zur Querstrebe eingebaute Einzelsitze
• – mind. zwei Sitz- und/oder Liegeflächen
• – zwei bankartige Sitzflächen mit dazwischen befestigtem Klapptisch nebeneinander montiert werden.

Under a canopy with a width of at least 1.65 m can be optional

• - A seat used parallel to the crossbar
• - up to four individual seats installed parallel to the cross brace
• - at least two seats and / or lying surfaces
• - Two bench-like seats with attached folding table are mounted side by side.

All attached to the crossbars as a fulcrum parts are bent in the curve of the height support and can be folded up, in height, depth and laterally offset, stowed space between the height supports (except the table tops).

15.1 seats

The seats are generally pivotally mounted to crossbars components that can be either folded up to allow other free use of the canopy or folded longitudinally or transversely down can be used.

In general, all components are designed according to the given basic optical form (concave arch shape) and are intended to obstruct other uses as little as possible. Folded chairs, chairs and tables are therefore always placed on concave supports that follow the curve of the basic shape.

a. Seat parallel to the cross struts

Between the two height carriers max. be placed on the width of the canopy a bank-like seat or more individual seating surfaces. The seat (Drawings Fig. 6 para. 6 ) can either be mounted on the equipment box or - like the individual seats - on a round cross strut serving as axle (according to item 15.1b). A short round tube with an inner diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the round cross member is placed on this. On the round tube two parallel extending, curved in the radius of the height support about 0.50 m long seat side panels are attached, which are braced front and form the frame of a seat.

The seats are supported by equally concave curved supports that follow the bending of the overall construction. The supports are connected by a hinge with the seat side panels and provided at its lower end with cross struts. The support feet are inside the two side parts.

The seat itself consists of a close-meshed, weather-resistant, fiber-reinforced, quick-drying net, which is attached to the seat side panels.

Several such individual seats can be mounted side by side up to the width of a canopy. By means of spacer tubes and spacer struts in seat width and attached to the individual seats seat nets, two additional seats can be set up between three individual seats.

As a backrest serve one or more cross struts, which are attached at a corresponding height to the height supports.

The seats have a width, depth and height of approx. 0.45 m each.

As an alternative to mesh covering could, for. B. for use in public areas, also seat shells made of fiber-reinforced polyurethane o. Ä. Mounted on the seat frame.

In this form, the protective roofs can be used as a covered park bench, bus stop, coach or athlete bench with seat device.

b. Seat transverse to the cross struts

Under a short protective roof with a width starting at approx. 1.75 m, a seating group consisting of two opposite benches can be seen (Drawings Fig. 9 BZ 12 + 13 ) and a table between them. These are arranged transversely to the transverse struts and have two or four seats on each side. The entire seating group can be folded up between the two height girders

Attached to the round tube, which is attached to a round cross strut, are two parallel, approx. 1.00 m long tubes bent in the radius of the height support, which are provided with struts in the middle and at the end. They form the framework for the seating surfaces.

This frame is supported by similarly concave supports that follow the bending of the overall construction. The supports are hinged with a hinge Pipes connected and also provided at its lower end with cross struts. The support feet are inside the two frame tubes.

The seat consists of a close-meshed, weather-resistant, fiber-reinforced, quick-drying net strip, which are attached to the tubes according to the seat surfaces.

The two-tiered bench can be extended to a four-seat bench by a similar element connected by a hinge to the first.

15.2 lying surfaces

The lying surface (drawings Fig. 7 BZ 7 + 8th ) consists of a sector of a likewise bent in the radius of the height support side tube frame with three cross struts. The two curved side tube frames are connected to each other at the breakpoint by a round tube with a minimum length corresponding to the width of the lying surface. This round tube has an inner diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the round cross member and is placed on this. The resulting axis makes it possible to fold the curved lying surface upwards away.

Supported by the couch in the same way concave curved and connected to a joint with the side panels feet, which are also connected to each other at the bottom. The support feet lie within the two outermost side parts and thus follow the bending of the overall construction.

The lying surface consists of a close-meshed, weather-resistant, fiber-reinforced, quick-drying net, which is attached to the top and bottom connecting rods as well as to the side panels. The lying area has a width of approx. 0.60 m and a length of approx. 2.00 m.

15.3 folding tables

For use as a seating group, folding tables (drawings, Figure 8) are available in two sizes for installation between the benches. These consist of the base frames and the associated removable table tops. The frame (Drawings Fig. 8 BZ 10 ) for the table top is pivotally mounted on a round cross strut, which is fastened above the transverse strut for the seats, between the two height supports.

At the attached to a round cross brace short round tube two at a distance of about 0.30 m parallel extending, curved in the radius of the height support about 1.00 m or 1.50 m long pipes are attached, which provided with three struts are. They form the racks for the tables.

The racks are supported by similarly curved, approx. 0.60 m long columns (Figure 8 BZ drawings) 12 ). The supports are connected at the front to the parallel tubes with a joint and at their lower end with a cross struts. The support feet are outside the two tubes.

When folded up between the height girders, all parts of the table frame follow the bend of the height girders and find space between them.

The tables are completed with separate table tops in the sizes of about 0.60 × 1.00 m or 0.60 m × 2.00 m, which are provided for resting on the round arch of the frame at the appropriate distance with wedges and lockable , In addition, the table tops can be fastened at the rear end under a cross brace for improved anti-tilt protection (Drawings Fig. 8 BZ 9 ) to ensure.

15.4 Seating group

By combining the seats BZ 15.1.b with the tables of the BZ 15.3, seating groups for four to eight people are created under the protective roof.

LED lights illuminate in the dark scenarios such. B. on terraces or beer gardens like to be found.

16. Massive cover (optional)

Alternatively and optionally, a rigid roofing can be used instead of the covering (D. 9.). This consists of elements that are composed of several adjacent narrow panels together and are attached at a distance of about 1.00 m respectively to cross struts. The variability in the length of the canopy is thereby limited.

The width between the two sheets is determined by the number and width of the panels.

The individual panels are made of lightweight, translucent, weatherproof and flame retardant material.

Between the individual elements sealing T-rubber strips are inserted, so that the greatest possible rain impermeability exists.

17. Side protection (optional)

For use as a shelter protected on three sides, the sides can be provided with curtain-like side parts (possibly with tension).

These are fastened by Velcro loops on the height and the roof racks and fixed with rubber bands on the bottom support.

E. System Kit

The construction is designed so that each variant of the described canopy is delivered disassembled into the individual parts and can be assembled even with amateur knowledge and skills in self-assembly.

The plug-in modules largely dictate the order of assembly and allow for length and width adjustment during final assembly.

The individual components are all assigned to one system and are based on the lateral supports (base, height and roof girders) as well as on the respective carrier matching connectors with the same cross struts.

For the assembly of the parts a building description is available as well as the tool required for this purpose. This is for the basic models only from Allen (hexagon socket) wrenches (for optional versions if necessary more tools are needed and provided).

Only the installation and connection of the optional photovoltaic and LED equipment has to be done by a certified specialist company.

F. Handling

The individual parts are chosen so that the parts required for a complete set can fit in a carton and be easily delivered.

Additional parts (options) require additional packages for shipping.

G. Advantages

• – ungehinderter Zugang/Zufahrt – das Schutzdach ist freitragend und nur an einer Schmalseite tragend abgestützt – dies ermöglicht einen Zugang/eine Zufahrt von der Seite oder in ausholenden Bögen (z. B. durch ein Kraftfahrzeug) – ohne Anprallschutz ist selbst eine Durchfahrt möglich
• – eine möglichst freie Rundumsicht gewährleisten
• – standardisierte Bauelemente/Module
• – eine leichte, luftige Bauweise bieten, die in Länge und Breite variabel ist und damit an die verschiedensten örtlichen Gegebenheiten angepasst werden kann
• – eine einfache Konstruktion (Systembausatz) vorweisen, die von einem Laien in Eigenleistung errichtet werden kann
• – die Möglichkeit zulassen, das Schutzdach schnelle und unkomplizierte auf-, um- und abbauen zu können

• – ganzjährig nutzbar
• – ökologischer Einsatz (Solartechnik)
• – zukunftsträchtige Konstruktion
• – die Ergänzung bieten, netzunabhängig elektrische Energie für eine Beleuchtung der Einrichtung (Sicherheits-, Schutz- und Nutzungsbeleuchtung) sowie zum Aufladen von Kraftfahrzeugen (z. B. E-Bike u. a.), zur Speicherung aber auch zum Einspeisen in das Netz zur Verfügung zu haben

By the invention, persons and things are to be protected against the effects of the weather, the construction offers a whole range of advantages, which is otherwise not found in this variety and combination.

• - unobstructed access / access - the canopy is cantilevered and supported supporting only on a narrow side - this allows access / access from the side or in sweeping arches (eg by a motor vehicle) - even without impact protection even a passage is possible
• - ensure the best possible all-round visibility
• - standardized components / modules
• - offer a light, airy design that is variable in length and width and can therefore be adapted to a variety of local conditions
• - have a simple construction (system kit) that can be built by a layman in-house
• - to allow the possibility of the roof can be quickly and easily assembled, dismantled and dismantled
• - variable version
• - versatile use (for vehicles, as rain and sun protection, for coaches and athletes)
• - usable all year round
• - ecological use (solar technology)
• - future-oriented construction
• - offer the supplement, off-grid electrical energy for lighting the device (security, protection and use lighting) as well as for charging of motor vehicles (eg e-bike, etc.), for storage but also for feeding into the network to to have
