Definitions

• the invention relates to an awning according to the preamble of claim 1.
• Such awnings are known.
• such an awning is on the market under the name Discus Vertical (trademark of the Lohausen company).
• a similar awning is described in DE-Al 4103474.
• awnings corresponding to the above-mentioned terms, have proven themselves in practice as stable, narrow or integrated awnings.
• the use of such awnings generally does not cause any problems, but there have been various customer requests to make awnings even smaller and more powerful (area of the extendable awning cover in relation to the volume of the awning box as large as possible).
• DE-C-2909306 describes an awning which, under the market name "Superflach", had a rectangular mounting tube as a specialty compared to the prior art known at that time, which was arranged approximately in a horizontal plane with the fabric shaft axis and bearing blocks as a supporting element , Swivel arms and the like recorded. Since the mounting tube was sensibly held at both ends by wall brackets or support arms which protruded from wall brackets, there was a certain length limitation of the mounting tubes
• the overall depth should be reduced and the bending stiffness of the awning construction against sagging should be improved, so that larger awning widths are possible.
• DE-C-3708155 describes a reinforcement profile which is connected to a central support element, comparable to the structure described last, and thus increases its torsional rigidity.
• guide strips are formed on the reinforcing profile, which guide bars for receiving profile parts which can be inserted therein - on which bearing blocks and the like. can be attached - are determined.
• This known construction thus brings good stability, but also an abundance of Additional components that complicate the assembly of the awning and also require additional manufacturing effort.
• the awning according to the invention should need fewer components and still have a simple mounting option for bearing blocks or the like. have without affecting the torsional and bending stiffness.
• An awning construction described in DE-A-4308965 has a hollow chamber construction for receiving bearing blocks and a fabric shaft. However, due to its construction, it has a relatively low horizontal bending stiffness, so that its lateral length is limited. This known construction also has a disadvantage during assembly: when installing the fabric shaft, assembly personnel must hold it until it is installed in its lateral bearing points. If this does not happen, it can slide out of the awning box. This means that several fitters or additional security measures are required during assembly.
• the invention is therefore based on all the above-mentioned tasks.
• the smallest possible, narrow and flat awning with high stability and strength should be created.
• This object is achieved by the formation of a special one-piece support part, which is newly designed as a sleeve rail with hollow profiles, which on the one hand creates an inherently stable, self-supporting component which receives the fabric shaft and the awning fabric and has a high bending and Torsional rigidity and on the other hand has suitable connection options for additional components such as bearing blocks and the like.
• a separate assembly tube is completely dispensed with, which advantageously results in a reduction in components during production and storage.
• the new awning thus belongs to the category of assembly-tube-less awnings, as they were known in principle earlier, when the effects of using an assembly tube were not yet known.
• the awning according to the invention dispenses with a narrow central web, which therefore does not protrude perpendicularly upwards, in order to serve as a point of attack for a tilt limiter at the top.
• a tilt limiter could indeed be provided, but this would have to engage, differently to what is known, on a bearing block which can be fastened to the widened part of the sleeve construction; Since this can be moved laterally according to the invention, such a variant has the advantage that no preparatory work is required for fastening.
• Additional reinforcement profiles can also be easily attached to the construction according to the invention. However, according to the invention, these are no longer necessary, and, as already mentioned, the bearing blocks are not attached to inserted reinforcing profiles, but rather directly to the sleeve or its widened part.
• an awning according to the invention is thus optimally small and stable; it also requires only a few components and also offers advantages for the assembly of any additional parts, such as pedestals, which according to the invention can also be moved laterally or can be mounted in any direction on the rail in the horizontal direction.
• the support part or the sleeve rail is a central self-supporting component.
• Self-supporting awning constructions have indeed become known, of which reference is made, for example, to a construction "box awning H 100" from "Helwe” (registered trademark of Helmut Weisbender AG & Co. KG).
• This known construction has an elongated, inverted F-shaped profile for the lateral reception of the arm bearings and is therefore limited in its lateral extent. The profile cannot accommodate additional arm bearings.
• the arm bearings are disadvantageously not laterally displaceable. In this respect, the construction does not satisfactorily solve the task after taking up as little space as possible, since in the case of longer lengths, several profiles have to be provided side by side and the distance between them is lost.
• Fig.l a horizontal awning in section
• Fig. 9 shows a new sleeve rail profile.
• 1 wall bracket serves, as is conventionally known, as an interface between awning and wall;
• wall brackets la for conventional horizontal mounting, for a new, particularly construction-saving, horizontal mounting according to the invention with a new wall bracket lc directed downwards and for conventional vertical mounting lb, as well as novel connections between the wall bracket and the awning;
• the use of an inventive wall bracket 1c is fundamentally only possible with awnings which have good inherent stability, since the wall bracket itself or the wall behind it in the plane of the awning cannot make any known contribution to strength ( see, for example, the construction according to DE-A-4308965); Therefore, a combination of this aspect of the invention with the support part 3 according to the invention is particularly advantageous;
• the other aspects of the invention are of course not restricted to the wall brackets 1 shown; ⁇ o, the new awning or the like can also be made using known ceiling brackets. be kept sensible.
• the support arm 2a-c has a new securing attachment 21 in the fastening area with the sleeve rail 3; this has in the fastening area via a hole or a slot for the passage of a fastening screw 25, which cooperates with a sliding block 10;
• the bore or the slot is provided with a larger diameter than the screw 25, so that an approximately cylindrical increase in the arm 2 with a concentric bore or a web running across the width of the arm with a
• the sleeve rail according to the invention which is preferably used together with the other aspects of the invention, can also be used independently of these; depending on the type of awning (horizontal / vertical), it has slightly different structures which, however, together fulfill the functions mentioned above,
• the support part 3a differs from the support part 3b (FIG. 2) only in that the former tends to have the sleeve function in the upper area with a high-closing sleeve element 30a and the second one has this sleeve function in the lower area with an advanced sleeve element 30b fulfilled; apart from the sleeve function, the sleeve element element 30a according to the invention also improves the bending stiffness in the vertical direction, while the sleeve element 30b has the improvement of the bending stiffness in the horizontal direction; In this respect, both sleeve rail variants are particularly rigid in all directions;
• the horizontal stiffness of the support part 3a is reversed by a sleeve element 31a and a hollow profile formation 32a in the front area;
• the vertical stiffness of the supporting part 3b is improved in reverse by a hollow-profile-like sleeve element 32b which extends over a large part of the height of the awning;
• a special new holder with inclination and / or compensation adjustment that can also be used for other awnings results from the upper region of the support part 3b or the sleeve element 32b: two insertion parts 47a and 47b are each in a groove in the wall holder 1b as well inserted in the sleeve rail 3b in grooves 50a and 50b and connected by means of adjusting screw 48; optionally provided springs 49 in the grooves 50 act as loss protection upwards,
• the sleeve rail 3b or another awning to which comparable slide-in parts can be attached can be individually adjusted - ie to give it a desired inclination relative to the wall behind the wall bracket 1b - within the framework of the tilting elasticity that results from the attachment of the awning in the lower one Area on the support arm 2b results; It is thus advantageously possible to level up unevenness on a wall by adjusting the set screws differently at the different positions along the length of the awning.
• Bearing block is a component known per se, which can be fastened in the slot rails according to the invention by means of screws 25 and slot nuts 10 and can be moved laterally for assembly purposes; he carries at least one tilt bracket 13 and the load of the swivel arms 5; a known and therefore only indicated deflection gear 32 with outlet and eyelet is held on it and a bevel gear 34 is mounted for the inclination adjustment; This includes an automatic resetting, if necessary, and, together with the bevel gear deflection gears, enables draft angles from horizontal to vertical.
• Fall rod is, as is known per se, covered with a cover panel 20 which according to the invention is constructed from a metal profile, in particular from aluminum, and has a rain gutter 28 both in the upper and in the lower region; according to the invention, side parts are fastened by means of screws which can be screwed into continuous fastening channels 33; a receiving bore 39 known per se serves to receive the awning cloth 14, which there or by means of piping. is pinched; the diaphragm 20 is attached to the drop bar according to the invention by means of the indicated screw-nut 10 connection.
• Tilt limiter as known from ⁇ ich, could also be replaced by another tilt limiter.
• the shaft can be perforated on its circumference in order to allow good air access to the awning fabric when rolled up; for the same reason, in a special embodiment, the sleeve rail could also have perforations, for example in the region of the element 30a; this inventive idea is not restricted to the present awning structure.
• connection is a nose-like projection which, as mentioned, cooperates with the securing lug 11 of the support arm 2a, c and serves to fix the sleeve rail to the support arm 2a, c; in a special embodiment, this is additionally fixed by means of the indicated screw 29.
• tilting bracket as known per se for tilt adjustment of the swivel arms; it has at its upper end grooves 17 for receiving a deflecting tube 22b, on which the awning cloth slides in the extended state.

• seal enables the awning housing to be sealed in a rainproof manner when it is retracted and allows the awning to close quietly, in particular if the seal is a hollow chamber profile, made of foam rubber or the like. is trained;
• deflecting tube serves to protect the awning fabric in the extended state and prevents the fabric 14 from touching the swivel arms or other components of the awning which ensure a smooth, straight fall of the fabric in the extended state
• the deflecting tube 22a is extended to the front in such a way that, when retracted, it overlaps the other deflecting tube 22b and thus prevents the awning fabric from jamming between the two new deflecting tubes which can also be used independently; this measure is also a safe one
• the new deflecting tubes also improve the stability of the awning both in the horizontal and in the vertical direction.
• the cover or roof of the awning protects it in a manner known per se.
• channel 28b prevents water from running back to the support arm 2, while the channel 28a lets rainwater flow off to the side before it can flow from the roof 23 onto the panel 20, according to a special embodiment of the invention or other markings
• a vertical drainage channel can be provided in the lateral cover parts of the awning (not shown), which can also be provided for the screen 20, which cooperates with the rainwater channel 28a in order to discharge rainwater directly downwards.
• additional rainwater drainage channels are possible, particularly in the case of vertical constructions; 28c and d help to drain off water in the area of the roof 23b (FIG. 2).
• this 30 sleeve element in the horizontal variant according to Fig.l this 30a is narrow and pulled relatively far over the cloth shaft 8a; not so far, however, that the fabric shaft can no longer be inserted from above during assembly, which is an important advantage over awnings in which the fabric shaft can only be inserted laterally - in the vertical variant, this element 30b is designed as a widened hollow profile, into which the roof 23b is suspended after the cloth shaft has been inserted and installed.
• Fig.l shows an awning according to the invention in a horizontal construction with a wall bracket 1a and a support arm 2a.
