Abstract

An arm bearing for an awning has at least one support block, at least one bearing block arranged to swivel about a first rotation axle into a drop-out position, and an arm rotatable about a second rotation axle transversely to said first rotation axle. A threaded coupling rod couples the support block and the bearing block for tilting movement of the bearing block. An adjustable nut is coupled to the threaded coupling rod for limiting the tilting movement of the bearing block within variable limits. At least one lock is coupled to the arm and is transversely displaceable to the threaded coupling rod for locking engagement with the adjusting nut. The adjusting nut has at least one recess or projection arranged approximately radially with respect to the threaded coupling rod for locking engagement with the lock. An eccentric cam is rigidly connected to the arm for positively controlling displacement of the lock.

Ein Profilmontagerohr 1 trägt über Nutensteine 17 undA profile mounting tube 1 carries over sliding blocks 17 and
Schrauben 16 einen zweigeteilten Tragbock 2 (2a, 2b; in Fig.1 nur der Teil 2a dargestellt.) Der Tragbock 2 hat an seiner Unterseite eine Nut 26, die zusätzlich durch Eingriff einer Feder 27 vom Montagerohr 1 gestützt ist. Diese Ausbildung ist bevorzugt, jedoch nicht zwingend. Sie dient unter anderem einer Verdrehsicherung des Tragbockes.Screws 16 a two-part support bracket 2 (2a, 2b; only part 2a shown in FIG. 1). The support bracket 2 has on its underside a groove 26 which is additionally supported by the mounting tube 1 by engagement of a spring 27. This training is preferred, but not mandatory. Among other things, it serves to prevent the trestle from rotating.
Der Tragbock 2 nimmt eine Achse 13 auf, an der ein gabel- oder U-förmiger Lagerbock 4 mit seinen beiden Gabelzinken 4a und 4b schwenkbar gelagert ist. Zwischen den Zinken 4a u. 4b bzw. Schenkel 21 ist noch ein Federbügel 12 angeordnet, der zur Verdrehsicherung einer Stellmutter 9 dient. Der Feder¬ bügel 12 könnte auch durch andere Bauteile ersetzt sein; der Lagerbock muss nicht zwingend gabelförmig sein. Tragbock 2 und Lagerbock 4 könnten auch umgekehrt ausgebildet sein, so dass der Tragbock gabelförmig ist.The support bracket 2 receives an axis 13 on which a fork or U-shaped bracket 4 with its two fork tines 4a and 4b is pivotally mounted. Between the tines 4a u. 4b or leg 21, a spring clip 12 is also arranged, which serves to prevent an adjusting nut 9 from rotating. The spring clip 12 could also be replaced by other components; the bearing block does not necessarily have to be fork-shaped. Support bracket 2 and bearing bracket 4 could also be designed the other way round, so that the bracket is fork-shaped.
In seinem oberen Bereich verfügt der Lagerbock 4 über eine Ausnehmung 22, die der Aufnahme der Stellmutter 9 dient, sofern diese gegen den Lagerbock 4 geschwenkt wird, bzw. umgekehrt. Im Bereich der Ausnehmung 22 ist der Lagerbock 4 zweimal durchbohrt. Zum einen durchragt ihn eine Koppel¬ stange 5, die die Stellmutter 9 trägt, zum anderen dient eine seitliche Bohrung zur Aufnahme eines stiftförmigen Rie- gels 15, der mit der Stellmutter 9 in Verriegelung gebracht werden kann, da diese eine entsprechende seitliche Bohrung aufweist.In its upper area, the bearing block 4 has a recess 22 which serves to receive the adjusting nut 9, provided that it is pivoted against the bearing block 4, or vice versa. The bearing block 4 is pierced twice in the region of the recess 22. On the one hand, a coupling rod 5, which carries the adjusting nut 9, projects through it, and on the other hand, a lateral bore serves to receive a pin-shaped bolt 15, which can be locked with the adjusting nut 9, since this has a corresponding lateral bore.
Die Koppelstange 5 ist mit einem Gewinde 8 versehen und an ihrem der Stellmutter 9 abgewandten Ende mit einem Getriebe 18 (insbesondere mit einem Zahnradgetriebe) verbunden, das eine Fernverstellung des Gewindes 8 und damit der Relativ¬ position der Stellmutter 9 zum Getriebe 18 erlaubt. Diese Ausgestaltung ist nur bevorzugt, da anstelle des Getriebes, das natürlich ebenso am Montagerohr gehalten ist, auch lediglich eine Gelenklagerstelle für die Koppelstange vorge¬ sehen sein kann, wobei dann eine Fernverstellung nicht . möglich ist. In einem solchen Fall dient ein in Fig. 1 ange¬ deuteter Schraubenschlitz dem Verstellen des Gewindes 8 in der Mutter 9.The coupling rod 5 is provided with a thread 8 and is connected at its end facing away from the adjusting nut 9 to a gear 18 (in particular a gear transmission) which a remote adjustment of the thread 8 and thus the position of the adjusting nut 9 relative to the gear 18 is permitted. This configuration is only preferred since instead of the gear, which is of course also held on the mounting tube, only one joint bearing point can be provided for the coupling rod, in which case remote adjustment is not. is possible. In such a case, a screw slot indicated in FIG. 1 serves to adjust the thread 8 in the nut 9.
Beim Öffnen der Markise klappt der Lagerbock 4 nach vorn, bis die Stellmutter 9 seinen Weg stoppt. Am Lagerbock 4 ist seitlich ein Gelenkarm 20 schwenkbar gelagert, der beim Öffnen der Markise ebenso nach vorn klappt. Der Gelenkarm 20 ist dabei mit einer Kurvensteuerung bzw. Steuerscheibe 7 verbunden, die in den Riegel 15 eingreift. Die Steuerkurve ist so ausgebildet, dass bei vollständig ausgeklapptem Arm 20 der Riegel in seine verriegelte Position geschoben ist. Derart wird die Stellmutter 9 im Lagerbock 4 arretiert. Letzterer ist dadurch in einem starren Abstand zum Getriebe 18 und damit zum Montagerohr 1 festgelegt. Ein allfälliges unerwünschtes Hochschlagen der Markise, z.B. infolge eines Windstosses, ist zuverlässig vermieden. Da die Ausnehmung 22 passgenau ausgeführt sein kann, liegt auch die Mutter drehgesichert und spielarm fest.When opening the awning, the bearing block 4 folds forward until the adjusting nut 9 stops. An articulated arm 20 is pivotally mounted laterally on the bearing block 4 and also folds forward when the awning is opened. The articulated arm 20 is connected to a cam control or control disk 7, which engages in the bolt 15. The control curve is designed such that when the arm 20 is fully extended, the bolt is pushed into its locked position. In this way, the adjusting nut 9 is locked in the bearing block 4. The latter is thereby fixed at a rigid distance from the transmission 18 and thus from the mounting tube 1. Any undesired raising of the awning, e.g. due to a gust of wind is reliably avoided. Since the recess 22 can be made to fit, the nut is also secured against rotation and with little play.
Fig.2 und 3 zeigen den Verriegelungsmechanismus deutlicher. Die Steuerkurve 6 ist an einer gestanzten Steuerscheibe 7 ausgebildet, die nach Art einer Beilagscheibe an der Achse 14 zwischen dem Gelenkarm 20 und dem Lagerbock 4, jedoch drehfest mit dem Gelenkarm 20 verbunden, angeordnet ist. Die Kurve 6 greift in eine entsprechende Nut 10 am Riegel 15 ein und vermag somit diesen seitlich in die Ausnehmung 3 der Stellmutter 9 zu verschieben. Die Kurve 6 ist dementspre- chend am Rand 11 ausgebildet. Diese Lösung baut besonders klein. Varianten mit mehreren Riegeln ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen. Eine besondere Riegelausbildung ist in Fig.5 dargestellt. Der Riegel 15a ist dort nicht als Stift sondern als Hülse mit konischer Bohrung ausgebildet, die mit einer gegengleichen Abragung 23a an der Stellmutter 9 zusammenwirkt; die Koppelstange 5 ist nur angedeutet. Bei dieser Bauform ist die Sicherheit der Verbindung zwischen Riegel 15a und Mutter 9c erhöht. Selbstverständlich sind auch technische Umkehrlösungen im Rahmen der Erfindung möglich. Bei dem Gegenstand der Fig.5 wirkt der Riegel 15a über seine Bohrung, während die Riegel gemäss den Fig.6 und 7 demgegenüber Stifte 24a-d aufweisen, die seitlich (Fig.6) oder in Bohrungen (Fig.7) der Stellmutter an- bzw. eingreifen. Figures 2 and 3 show the locking mechanism more clearly. The control cam 6 is formed on a stamped control disk 7, which is arranged in the manner of a washer on the axis 14 between the articulated arm 20 and the bearing block 4, but is non-rotatably connected to the articulated arm 20. The curve 6 engages in a corresponding groove 10 on the bolt 15 and is thus able to move it laterally into the recess 3 of the adjusting nut 9. The curve 6 is accordingly formed at the edge 11. This solution is particularly small. Variants with several bars result from the dependent claims. A special latch design is shown in Fig.5. The bolt 15a is not designed there as a pin but as a sleeve with a conical bore, which cooperates with an opposite projection 23a on the adjusting nut 9; the coupling rod 5 is only hinted at. With this design, the security of the connection between bolt 15a and nut 9c is increased. Of course, technical reversal solutions are also possible within the scope of the invention. In the case of the object in FIG. 5, the bolt 15a acts via its bore, while the bolts according to FIGS. 6 and 7, in contrast, have pins 24a-d which act laterally (FIG. 6) or in bores (FIG. 7) of the adjusting nut - or intervene.
