Abstract

The awning has its front edge fixed on a strip (17) and winds up on a shaft (13). The shaft has bearings (20,21) which move backwards and forwards in the tension direction (25) of the awning cloth (18) over an adjustable length (s). The support surface (29) extends over practically the entire length (L) of the shaft. The support face can be set on a partially cylindrical support strip (30) which is supported by several holders (31) spread over the length (L) of the shaft. The support strip has a guide edge (41) for the awning cloth directed towards the edge strip. The shaft has at its ends horizontally displaceable sliding bearings (21,22) which are displaceable independently of each other against adjustable stops (27').

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Markise mit einem Markisentuch, dessen vorderer Rand an einer Randleiste befestigt ist, mit der das Markisentuch beim Aufspannen von einer Tuchwelle abgezogen wird, auf der es zu einem Markisentuchballen aufgewickelt ist, der an einer Stützfläche anliegen kann, welche mindestens einen großen Teil der der Randleiste zugewandten Umfangsfläche des auf der Tuchwelle aufgewickelten Markisentuchballens abstützt.The invention relates to an awning with an awning fabric, the front edge of which is attached to an edge strip, with which the awning fabric is pulled off when stretching from a fabric shaft, on which it is wound into an awning fabric bale, which can rest on a support surface which is at least a large one Part of the peripheral surface facing the edge strip of the awning fabric bale wound on the fabric shaft is supported.

Markisen großer Breite haben den Nachteil, daß sich die Tuchwelle unter dem Gewicht des aufgewickelten Markisentuchballens in der Mitte durchbiegt. Hierdurch entstehen beim Aufwickeln des Markisentuches Falten im Tuch, an denen sich das Tuch im Laufe der Zeit verfärbt und mitunter auch undicht wird und nach mehrjährigem Gebrauch zuerst bricht. Infolge der Durchbiegung der Tuchwelle kann die Randleiste, die bei eingefahrener Markise als vordere Abdeckung des Markisenkastens dient, diesen in der Mitte nicht vollständig schließen, so daß Schmutz in den Markisenkasten gelangen kann.Large awnings have the disadvantage that the fabric shaft bends in the middle under the weight of the rolled awning fabric bale. This creates wrinkles in the fabric when the awning fabric is rolled up, over which the fabric discolors over time and sometimes becomes leaky and breaks after several years of use. As a result of the deflection of the fabric shaft, the edge strip, which serves as the front cover of the awning box when the awning is retracted, cannot close it completely in the middle, so that dirt can get into the awning box.

Um der Durchbiegung der Tuchwelle entgegenzuwirken, muß diese sehr kräftig ausgebildet sein. Es ist auch bekannt, die Tuchwelle in der Mitte mit einer Lagerschale zu unterstützen, die jedoch auf dem Markisentuch eine erhebliche Reibung erzeugt und dort Spuren hinterläßt. Da sich der Durchmesser des Markisentuchballens beim Aufwickeln vergrößert, muß sich die Tuchwelle beim Drehen heben und senken können. Die ganze Last der Tuchwelle ruht jedoch dann auf der Lagerschale in der Mitte.In order to counteract the deflection of the fabric shaft, it must be very strong. It is also known to support the fabric shaft in the middle with a bearing shell, which, however, creates considerable friction on the awning fabric and leaves traces there. Since the diameter of the awning fabric bale increases when it is rolled up, the fabric shaft has to widen can raise and lower when turning. However, the entire load of the fabric shaft rests on the bearing shell in the middle.

Es ist eine Markise der eingangs näher erläuterten Art bekannt (DE-A-26 20 112), bei der die Tuchwelle mit den darauf aufgewickelten Markisentuch in einem Rohr schwimmend gelagert ist, das in seinem oberen Teil einen tangential anschließenden Austrittsschlitz für das Markisentuch aufweist. Hierbei wird der Markisentuchballen durch die vom Markisentuch ausgeübte Zugkraft im Bereich des Austrittsschlitzes gegen die Innenfläche des zylindrischen Rohres gedrückt, welches den Markisentuchballen auf beiden Seiten des Austrittsschlitzes abstützt.An awning of the type described in more detail at the outset is known (DE-A-26 20 112), in which the fabric shaft with the awning fabric wound thereon is floatingly supported in a tube which has a tangentially adjoining outlet slot for the awning fabric in its upper part. Here, the awning fabric bale is pressed by the pulling force exerted by the awning fabric in the area of the outlet slot against the inner surface of the cylindrical tube, which supports the awning fabric bale on both sides of the outlet slot.

Diese bekannte Einrichtung hat den Nachteil, daß das beim Abrollen und Aufrollen ständig an der Innenwand des zylindrischen Gehäuserohres entlanggleitende Markisentuch stark abgenutzt wird und daß sich insbesondere im Bereich der Nähte Schmutzstreifen bilden. Außerdem muß der Markisenzug sehr hoch und die auf die Markisentuchwelle ausgeübte Bremskraft genügend groß sein, damit sich der Markisentuchballen beim Auf- und Abwickeln bis zum Austrittsschlitz hebt.This known device has the disadvantage that the awning fabric sliding along the inner wall of the cylindrical housing tube during rolling and unrolling is heavily worn and that dirt strips form in particular in the area of the seams. In addition, the awning pull must be very high and the braking force exerted on the awning fabric shaft must be large enough so that the awning fabric bale lifts up to the exit slot during winding and unwinding.

Um eine schonende Abwicklung einer aufgerollten Stoffbahn zu erreichen, ist es bei Rollvorhängen bekannt (DE-A-26 31 747), den Tuchballen zwischen oberen und unteren Führungsbändern zu halten und zu führen, die die sich abrollende Vorhangbahn auf ihrer Oberseite und Unterseite umfassen und selbst um Führungswalzen umlaufen, welche in Kreissegmenten oberhalb und unterhalb der Vorhangrolle gelagert sind.In order to achieve a gentle handling of a rolled-up fabric web, it is known with roller blinds (DE-A-26 31 747) to hold and guide the cloth bale between the upper and lower guide bands, which comprise the rolling curtain web on its top and bottom and even run around guide rollers, which are stored in circular segments above and below the curtain roller.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Tuchwelle von sehr breiten Markisen wirksam so abzustützen, daß sie sich bei voll aufgewickeltem Markisentuchballen weder nach vorn, noch nach unten wesentlich durchbiegt und das Markisentuch beim Auf- und Abwickeln wenig beansprucht wird und keine Falten bildet.The object of the invention is to effectively support the fabric shaft of very wide awnings in such a way that when the awning fabric bale is fully wound, it does not bend significantly forward or downward and the awning fabric is little stressed during winding and unwinding and does not form any folds.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die Tuchwelle Lager aufweist, die in Spannrichtung des Markisentuches vor- und zurückbewegbar sind und deren Weglänge einstellbar ist.This object is achieved with the invention in that the fabric shaft has bearings which can be moved back and forth in the tensioning direction of the awning fabric and whose path length is adjustable.

Diese Ausgestaltung hat den Vorteil, daß die Hauptlast der Tuchwelle beim Auf- und Abwickeln in erster Linie von den beiden Lagern an den Enden der Tuchwelle aufgenommen wird, wobei auf das ein- oder auslaufende Markisentuch nur sehr geringe Reibungskräfte ausgeübt werden, daß aber der Markisentuchballen auf nahezu seiner ganzen Breite auf seiner Vorderseite und Unterseite von der Stützfläche großflächig abgestützt wird, wenn der Markisentuchballen sich vollständig füllt und die Markisentuchwelle unter dem hohen Gewicht des vollständig aufgewickelten Markisentuchballens und unter dem von der Randleiste ausgeübten Zug sich nach unten und vorne durchbiegt. Beim Abrollen des Markisentuches gleiten die Tuchwellenlager zunächst nach vorn, bis sie von Anschlägen aufgehalten werden, wenn ein Teil des Markisentuches abgewickelt ist. Die dann geringer belastete Tuchwelle bedarf dann keiner Abstützung an ihrem Außenumfang mehr und das Tuch kann frei abrollen, ohne an der Stützfläche entlangzugleiten.This embodiment has the advantage that the main load of the fabric shaft during winding and unwinding is primarily absorbed by the two bearings at the ends of the fabric shaft, with only very low frictional forces being exerted on the incoming or outgoing awning fabric, but that the awning fabric bale is supported on almost all of its width on its front and underside by the support surface when the awning fabric bale fills up completely and the awning fabric shaft bends downwards and forwards under the heavy weight of the fully wrapped awning fabric bale and under the tension exerted by the edge strip. When the awning cover rolls off, the fabric shaft bearings initially slide forward until they are stopped by stops when part of the awning cover has been unwound. The then less loaded fabric shaft then no longer needs support on its outer circumference and the fabric can roll freely without sliding along the support surface.

Es ist zweckmäßig, wenn sich die Stützfläche über nahezu die ganze Länge der Tuchwelle erstreckt und an einer teilzylindrischen Stützleiste angeordnet ist, die von mehreren, über die Länge der Tuchwelle verteilt angeordneten Haltern getragen wird. Die Krümmung der Zylinderfläche wird hierbei zweckmäßig der Krümmung des Außenumfanges des vollständig auf der Tuchwelle aufgewickelten Markisentuchballens angepaßt.It is expedient if the support surface extends over almost the entire length of the fabric shaft and is arranged on a partially cylindrical support strip which is supported by a plurality of holders arranged distributed over the length of the fabric shaft. The curvature of the cylindrical surface is expediently adapted to the curvature of the outer circumference of the awning fabric bale completely wound on the fabric shaft.

Die Stützleiste kann am oberen Rand einen zur Randleiste gerichteten Führungsrand für das Markisentuch aufweisen, auf dem das Markisentuch beim Abziehen entlanggleiten kann. Hierbei ist der Führungsrand zweckmäßig konvex nach oben gekrümmt, so daß das Markisentuch immer eine große Auflagefläche findet, auch wenn sich die Gelenkarme einer Gelenkarmmarkise nach dem Öffnen neigen und die Randleiste aus ihrer vertikalen Lage in eine geneigte Lage kippen.At the upper edge, the support strip can have a guide edge for the awning fabric which is directed towards the edge strip and on which the awning fabric can slide as it is pulled off. Here, the guide edge is appropriately convexly curved upwards, so that the awning fabric always has a large contact surface, even if the articulated arms of an articulated arm awning incline after opening and tilt the edge strip from its vertical position into an inclined position.

Die Stützleiste kann in vorteilhafter Weise aus einem dünnen Blech bestehen, wenn sie auf ihrer der Tuchwelle abgewandten Seite Versteifungen und Befestigungsmittel aufweist, mit denen sie an den Haltern befestigt wird.The support strip can advantageously consist of a thin sheet if it has stiffeners and fastening means on its side facing away from the fabric shaft, with which it is fastened to the holders.

Die Tuchwelle hat an ihren Enden vorzugsweise im wesentlichen horizontal verschiebliche Schiebelager, die unabhängig voneinander gegen verstellbare Anschläge vor- und zurückverschiebbar sind. Diese Ausgestaltung hat den Vorteil, daß sich die Tuchwelle am Ende des Aufwickelvorganges etwas schiefstellen kann, so daß auch eine Randleiste das Markisengehäuse spaltfrei verschließt, die an einem schräg abgeschnittenen Markisentuchrand befestigt ist.The cloth shaft preferably has essentially horizontally displaceable sliding bearings at its ends, which can be moved back and forth independently of one another against adjustable stops. This configuration has the advantage that at the end of the winding process the fabric shaft can be tilted somewhat, so that an edge strip closes the awning housing without a gap and is attached to an obliquely cut off edge of the awning fabric.

Die Tuchwelle kann an ihren Enden in Gleitsteinen gelagert sein, die in Kulissenführungen von Lagerträgern gleiten. Hierbei kann jeder Gleitstein an einer beliebigen Stelle seiner Kulissenführung feststellbar sein und es ist möglich, durch verstellbare Anschläge in der Kulissenführung den Gleitweg der Gleitsteine einzustellen und zu begrenzen.The cloth shaft can be supported at its ends in sliding blocks, which slide in the slide guides of bearing supports. In this case, each sliding block can be ascertainable at any point on its slide guide and it is possible to adjust and limit the slide path of the slide blocks by means of adjustable stops in the slide guide.

In den Zeichnungen ist mit 10 eine Markise großer Breite bezeichnet, die in einem Markisenkasten 11 angeordnet ist. Der Markisenkasten 11 ist mit einem Markisenträger 12 an einer nicht dargestellten Hauswand befestigt und nimmt die Tuchwelle 13 mit dem darauf aufgewickelten Markisentuchballen 14 auf. An seiner Vorderseite wird der Markisenkasten 11 von eine Randleiste 15 verschlossen, die in ihrem oberen Teil eine Kedernute 16 aufweist, in der der vordere Rand 17 des Markisentuches 18 mit einem Keder 19 befestigt ist.In the drawings, 10 denotes a large-width awning, which is arranged in an awning box 11. The awning box 11 is fastened with an awning support 12 to a house wall, not shown, and receives the fabric shaft 13 with the awning fabric bale 14 wound thereon. At its front, the awning box 11 is closed by an edge strip 15 which has a welt groove 16 in its upper part, in which the front edge 17 of the awning fabric 18 is fastened with a welt 19.

Die Tuchwelle 13 hat an ihren Enden 13a und 13b Wellenzapfen 20, mit denen sie in Gleitsteinen 21 drehbar gelagert ist, die mit den Wellenzapfen 20 die Lager bilden. Die Gleitsteine 21 wiederum sind in Kulissenführungen 22 von Lagerträgern 23 derart gelagert, daß sie sich unabhängig voneinander in Richtung der Pfeile 24 und 25 in Richtung auf die Randleiste 15 vor- und zurückbewegen können.The cloth shaft 13 has at its ends 13a and 13b shaft journals 20, with which it is rotatably mounted in sliding blocks 21, which form the bearings with the shaft journals 20. The sliding blocks 21 are in turn mounted in link guides 22 of bearing brackets 23 in such a way that they can move back and forth independently of one another in the direction of the arrows 24 and 25 in the direction of the edge strip 15.

Die Lagerträger 23 sind in die Kopfplatten 11 integriert, welche an den Stirnseiten des Markisenkastens 10 befestigt sind.The bearing supports 23 are integrated in the head plates 11, which are fastened to the end faces of the awning box 10.

Die Gleitsteine 21 können in beliebiger Lage mit Klemmschrauben 27 festgestellt werden, die im Bereich der Kulissenführungen 22 in die Lagerträger 23 eingeschraubt sind. Außerdem ist in jedem Lagerträger 23 eine Stellschraube 27' vorgesehen, die sich in Längsrichtung des Lagerträgers 23 erstreckt und als Anschlag dient, mit dem die Weglänge s der Gleitsteine 21 bzw. der Wellenzapfen 20 eingestellt werden kann, welche die Tuchwellenlager bilden.The sliding blocks 21 can be fixed in any position with clamping screws 27 which are screwed into the bearing supports 23 in the area of the link guides 22. In addition, an adjusting screw 27 'is provided in each bearing bracket 23, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the bearing bracket 23 and serves as a stop with which the path length s of the sliding blocks 21 or the shaft journals 20, which form the roller shaft bearings, can be adjusted.

Man erkennt aus Fig. 1, daß die der Randleiste 15 zugewandte Umfangsfläche 28 des auf der Tuchwelle 13 aufgewickelten Markisentuchballens 14 auf ihrer Vorder- und Unterseite zum größten Teil an einer Stützfläche 29 anliegt, die von der konkaven Innenseite einer teilzylindrischen Stützleiste 30 gebildet wird. Die Stützleiste 30 erstreckt sich über nahezu die ganze Länge der Tuchwelle 13 und wird von mehreren, über die Länge L der Tuchwelle 13 verteilt angeordneten Haltern 31 getragen. Jeder Halter 31 ist mit Zapfen 32 und Klemmen 33 am Markisengehäuse 11 befestigt und hat Stütznocken 34 und Rastzähne 35, an denen die Stützleiste 30 befestigt werden kann.It can be seen from FIG. 1 that the peripheral surface 28 facing the edge strip 15 of the awning cover bale 14 wound on the cover shaft 13 for the most part bears on its front and underside against a support surface 29 which is formed by the concave inside of a partially cylindrical support strip 30. The support bar 30 extends over almost the entire length of the fabric shaft 13 and is supported by a plurality of holders 31 arranged distributed over the length L of the fabric shaft 13. Each holder 31 is fastened to the awning housing 11 with pins 32 and clamps 33 and has support cams 34 and locking teeth 35 to which the support strip 30 can be fastened.

Die Stützleiste 30 hat auf ihrer der Tuchwelle 13 abgewandten Seite 36 eine Versteifung 37 und Befestigungsmittel 38 und 39 in Form von Klauen, welche die Rastzähne 35 hintergreifen. An ihrem oberen Rand 40 trägt die Stützleiste 30 einen zur Randleiste 15 gerichteten, konvex gebogenen Führungsrand 41, auf dessen gewölbter Oberfläche 42 das Markisentuch 18 entlanggleiten kann, wenn die Randleiste 15 von den nicht dargestellten Gelenkarmen der Markise nach vorne und unten bewegt wird und das Markisentuch 18 von der Tuchwelle 13 abgezogen wird.The support strip 30 has on its side 36 facing away from the fabric shaft 13 a stiffening 37 and fastening means 38 and 39 in the form of claws which engage behind the locking teeth 35. On its upper edge 40, the support strip 30 carries a convexly curved guide edge 41 directed towards the edge strip 15, on the curved surface 42 of which the awning fabric 18 can slide when the edge strip 15 is moved forwards and downwards by the articulated arms of the awning, not shown, and that Awning cloth 18 is pulled off the cloth shaft 13.

Man erkennt, daß beim Aufspannen der Markise 10 und Abziehen des Markisentuches 18 sich die Tuchwelle 13 mit dem Markisentuchballen 14 im Uhrzeigersinne dreht. Unter dem auf das Markisentuch 18 ausgeübten Zug bewegt sich die Tuchwelle 13 in Richtung des Pfeiles 25 nach rechts, so daß der vollständig aufgewickelte Markisentuchballen 14 zunächst gegen die Stützfläche 29 der Stützleiste 30 gedrückt wird. Mit abnehmendem Markisentuchballendurchmesser wandern die Wellenzapfen 20 mit ihren Gleitsteinen 21 in den Kulissenführungen 22 der Lagerträger 23 in Pfeilrichtung 25 nach rechts, bis die Gleitsteine 21 an den als Anschläge dienenden Stellschrauben 27' anliegen. Die Tuchwelle 13 kann sich dann frei drehen und das aufgewickelte Markisentuch 18 schleift nicht mehr an der Stützfläche 29 entlang.It can be seen that when the awning 10 is stretched and the awning fabric 18 is pulled off, the fabric shaft 13 rotates in a clockwise direction with the awning fabric bale 14. Under the tension exerted on the awning fabric 18, the fabric shaft 13 moves in the direction of arrow 25 to the right, so that the fully wound awning fabric bale 14 is first pressed against the support surface 29 of the support bar 30. With a decreasing awning fabric bale diameter, the shaft journals 20 move with their sliding blocks 21 in the link guides 22 of the bearing brackets 23 in the direction of the arrow 25 to the right until the sliding blocks 21 rest against the set screws 27 'serving as stops. The fabric shaft 13 can then rotate freely and the rolled awning fabric 18 no longer grinds along the support surface 29.

Die Weglänge s der Gleitsteine 21 wird also mit Hilfe der Stellschrauben 27' begrenzt und kann auch ungleich lang eingestellt werden. Hierdurch ist es möglich, die Tuchwelle 13 innerhalb gewisser Grenzen schief zu stellen und zu erreichen, daß auch ein schief geschnittenes Markisentuch gerade und faltenlos aufgewickelt wird.The path length s of the sliding blocks 21 is thus limited with the aid of the set screws 27 'and can also be set to be of unequal length. This makes it possible to tilt the fabric shaft 13 within certain limits and to achieve that an awning fabric cut at an angle is wound straight and without folds.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das dargestellte und beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt, sondern es sind mehrere Änderungen und Ergänzungen möglich, ohne den Rahmen der Erfindung zu verlassen. Beispielsweise ist es auch möglich, anstelle einer über fast die ganze Länge der Tuchwelle durchlaufenden Stützleiste mehrere kurze Stützleisten nebeneinander anzuordnen. Wichtig ist aber, daß bei voll aufgewickeltem Markisentuch eine Stützwirkung nahezu auf der ganzen Länge der Tuchwelle erreicht wird, bei nur teilweise aufgewickeltem Tuch dieses aber keinem Abrieb ausgesetzt ist.The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment shown and described, but several changes and additions are possible without leaving the scope of the invention. For example, it is also possible to arrange a plurality of short support strips next to one another instead of a support strip which runs over almost the entire length of the fabric shaft. It is important, however, that when the awning fabric is fully wound, a support effect is achieved almost along the entire length of the fabric shaft, but when the fabric is only partially wound, it is not exposed to abrasion.
