Abstract

The awning cloth (11) winds onto a shaft in the housing via an opening, the housing being supported by individual brackets (13). The housing is in two or more sections (16, 17) fixed to the brackets, and which at the bottom form slots running for its full length. Bottom edges (18, 19) of the housing sections can be spaced apart in the transverse direction. These edges can form the slots, and can have portions (29) bent so as to engage in pockets (28) in the brackets, these being secured by a locking stopper fitting over them.

Description

The invention relates to an awning with only the fabric shaft with the housing enclosing the awning fabric, which has an opening for the awning cloth and carried by individual carriers becomes.

In addition to awnings, their housing when the awning is retracted surrounds the fabric shaft, the articulated arms and the awning drive, there are also simple awnings that only one the fabric shaft enclosing housing with the awning cloth. Here protects the fabric shaft housing that wound on the fabric shaft Awning cover with its top from rain and with its Bottom face from splashing water, which is caused by driving rain from a house wall or other parts of the building is hosed down.

A cloth shaft housing of this type is known (DE 34 28 153 C1), which consists of a one-piece tubular shell made of aluminum sheet or the like. there is an opening at the front for the Has awning cover, which is covered by a canopy that consists of one piece with the awning housing. The cloth shaft housing is from individual, at a lateral distance from each other arranged straps worn, a support part and two in Circumferential direction of the housing opposite support arms have on which the tubular housing rests. Of the Support part is in the manner of a pipe clamp on one below the Cloth shaft housing arranged support tube attached.

This well-known awning protects what is wound on the fabric shaft Awning cloth from rain and splashing water, the closed Design has the disadvantage that in the lower part of the Awning housing dirt and squeezed out of the awning cover Water collects when the awning sheet is rolled up when wet becomes. The awning fabric bale then dips across the entire width more or less deep into a pool of dirty water, which contaminates the awning fabric and rots quickly.

The closed design also has the disadvantage that the housing, especially on the inside, difficult with one Surface treatment can be protected in particular difficult to fit the inner surface of tubular parts with a to provide sufficiently thick powder coating that alone offers reliable protection against abrasion and corrosion.

The object of the invention is to provide an awning with a fabric shaft housing especially easy to train so that there is no water in it or can accumulate dirt and that the housing also on his Inside in usual powder coating systems with a Protective layer made of plastic and if possible without tools can be assembled and assembled. It is also a Concern of the invention, the awning housing and its support devices To design so that the awning housing easily and quickly disassembled and in parts of different material properties can be disassembled, what for disposal in later Time is important.

The above object is achieved with the invention in that that the housing consists of at least two housing shells, the are attached to the straps and in the lower part of the housing form slits along its entire length.

The multi-part design of the housing has the advantage that the smaller housing shells in a simple way in a fluidized bed dipped or powder coated with spray nozzles and can be attached to the carriers with simple means. The Slits in the lower part of the case, all the way down Length and water and dirt immediately emerge from the housing, as far as such components of the Awning cloth to be entered in the housing when winding.

They also ensure good ventilation of the housing and a drying of the rolled awning fabric all over it Length, as the one entering through the slots and through the front Air leaking from the opening continuously flushes around the awning fabric.

Nevertheless, the awning cloth is sufficient from rain and splash water protected.

It is possible to connect many slots of limited length one after the other to be placed in the bottom of the housing. Even easier and However, it is more effective if the housing shells have lower edges have, which are at a lateral distance from each other on the carriers are attached. The slot then runs the entire length of the housing through and is only interrupted in the area of the beams.

The housing can have two housing shells in their longitudinal direction have extending lower edges that are in lateral Distance from one another in carrier pockets arranged on the carriers intervene and the housing shells locked on the carriers are. Such a configuration is particularly simple and allows the mounting and mounting of the housing shells on the carrier without tools.

The lower edges spaced apart from each other the housing shells can form the slots and at least have bends in the area of the carrier, which in corresponding shaped, open at the sides and at the top, arranged on the carrier Intervene in carrier bags. With such training can the housing shells simply from above with their cranking inserted into the carrier bags and then pivoted downwards until they rest on the straps. The housing shells are locked at the same time and can in the circumferential direction no longer postpone.

In another embodiment, the straps can be in the area the carrier bags have a groove open at the top, into which a Plug engages the cranked lower edges of the housing shells overlaps and the carrier at its end faces in the area under the gutter and thereby the housing shells holds its lower edges to the carrier. The plug is there expediently made of plastic and has the end faces on it of the carrier overlapping legs projecting inwards Notches on the front sides when pushing on the plug slide along the carrier and snap under it.

The carriers are suitably designed so that they are a support part and two oppositely directed, circumferentially of the housing extending support arms, the free Ends in housing pockets on the outer surfaces of the housing shells intervention. Here, the housing pockets have a circumferential direction of the housing at least the same depth as that on the supports arranged carrier bags. The housing shells can then with their lower, cranked edges and with their case pockets inserted simultaneously into the carrier pockets and into the housing pockets will. In this case there are the carrier bags Appropriately at the edge of somewhat larger chambers into which the cranked ones lower edges of the housing shells inserted and into the Carrier bags can slide in if the housing shells in Pushed along the circumferential direction on the support arms of the carrier will.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the Support part between the support arms one recessed compared to these Bottom and in the middle of it in the longitudinal direction of the housing extending header, the one connected to the floor Bridge together with the floor and the laterally projecting parts of the head of the head strip forms carrier pockets into which Cranks on the lower edges of two housing shells intervention. The floor is at a lateral distance from the Sidewalls of the web and from the cranking of the housing shells in support part side walls, which with the floor and the Form housing shells locking chambers in which these fill Latch arms of a locking element are arranged.

This configuration has the advantage that the housing shells the assembly with its peripheral surface placed flat on the support arms and in the circumferential direction with their lower edges in the Carrier bags can be inserted, the cranking slide along in the bolt chambers until they are in the carrier pockets to sit. The one between the cranks and the support part side walls The resulting cavity is then released by the locking arms of the locking element filled so that the housing shells can not slide back, but in their assembled Position are locked.

The locking arms can consist of strips or pins whose Cross section is adapted to the cross section of the locking chamber. Around to facilitate assembly, however, it is advisable to use two locking arms to be connected at one end by a yoke, which on Carrier is attached. The locking element with both locking arms can then axially into the locking chambers in a simple manner inserted and attached to the carrier so that it does not can fall out again.

The headboard of the carrier is expediently made up of the bottom one piece and has a continuous, parallel to the cloth shaft Axial opening in which an anchoring means for the locking element is arranged. The locking element can with be anchored in a screw provided in a dedicated screw Axial bore is screwed into the carrier. However, it is easier if the locking element is anchored with a latch is, which is located at the end of a locking arm that between the locking arms arranged on the yoke of the locking element is and penetrates the axial opening in the support part of the carrier. After Finschieben the locking element in which the locking arms penetrate into the locking chambers and the locking arm is pushed through the axial opening in the support part, the pawl comes out at the end of the axial opening and reaches behind the face of the Carrier, whereby the locking element locks to the carrier becomes.

Like the aforementioned plugs, the locking elements can also are made of hard, elastic plastic, while the awning housing and its carrier preferably from Extruded profile sections or the like. Are manufactured.

The training and arrangements described allow the Housing shells not only simply on the carriers largely without Assemble the tool, but also disassemble it if necessary, only the catches of the locking elements are released and pushed them out of the bolt chambers as a whole or must be lifted out of the channel of the carrier. If the Plugs and locking elements can be made of plastic they do not corrode and easily, even after decades are removed, being disposed of separately from the metal parts can be, from which usually the housing shells and the supports for the awning housing.

From an awning according to the invention, for example a usual folding arm awning can be seen in the drawings only the fabric shaft 10 with the awning fabric 11 wound thereon and the housing 12 shown by individual, in the lateral Distance from each other supports 13 is worn. The Carrier 13 can on a support tube, not shown or be attached to a house wall, as is known per se is.

The housing 12 is essentially cylindrical and encloses the awning fabric 11 wound on the fabric shaft 10. It has in the upper part an opening 14 through which the front end of the Awning cloth 11 is led out and with the cloth shaft 10 With the help of the articulated arms (not shown) and the side bar can be deducted. The opening 14 is of a projecting Covered roof 15, which is part of the housing 12.

In the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 4, the housing 12 consists of two housing shells 16 and 17, the lower edges 18 and 19 of which are fastened to the supports 13 at a lateral distance a from one another, so that they form a slot 23 which is continuous along the entire length which is only interrupted by the carriers 13.

The housing shells 16 and 17 consist of extruded profiles or profiles deformed by rollers and are on theirs Outside and inside coated with plastic powder.

The carrier 13 also coated with plastic powder, the can be made of die-cast aluminum or steel Support part 20 and two opposite in the circumferential direction of the housing 12 directional support arms 21 and 22 on which the housing shells 16 or 17 lie on.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the support part 20 of the carrier 13 carries between the support arms 21 and 22 a head bar 24, the web 25 with the laterally projecting parts 26 of the head 27 and the recessed adjacent to the web 25 parts 21a and 22a of the support arms 21 and 22 form carrier pockets 28. The housing shells 16 and 17 have at their lower edges 18 and 19 at least in the area of the supports 13 crankings 29 which correspond in cross section to the cross section of the support pockets 28 and engage in them, the lower edges 18 and 19 of the housing shells 16 and 17 through the web 25 of the header 24 are held at a distance a from one another and resulting in the lower part of the housing on its whole length a continuous slot 23 which is only interrupted in the region of the carrier 13 by the head strips 24th

Although it is sufficient to apply the cranks 29 at the lower edges 18 and 19 of the housing shells 16 and 17 to be provided only where the housing is supported by a carrier, are shown in the Embodiment the lower edges 18 and 19 of the Case shells 16 and 17 cranked along their entire length. This has the advantage that the housing shells in one piece with the illustrated Profile can be drawn.

In order to attach the housing shells 16 and 17 to the carriers 13, it is sufficient to use the cranks 29 on the sides and from above here to slide into the carrier bags 28 and on the support arms 21 and 22 to file. You can then in the shown in Fig. 1 Layer can no longer be pulled out in the circumferential direction.

2, 3 and 4 is a second embodiment of the Shaft shaft housing 12 shown, in which the support part 20 of the carrier 13 is formed by a tube with a square cross section, an upper floor 30 between two supporting walls 20a and 20b has, which merges into the support arms 21 and 22 and approximately in the Center has a recess 31 which the cranking 29 the lower edges 18 and 19 of the housing shells 16 and 17 adapted is.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the lower edges 18 and 19 are held by a stopper 32 made of hard, elastic plastic at a lateral distance a from each other, so that here, too, in the lower part of the housing between the lower edges 18 and 19 results in a slot 23 running through the entire length of the housing 12, through which dirt and water can escape from the housing 12.

As can be seen from FIG. 4, the plug 32 has a head part 33 and a web part 34 and extends over the entire width of the Carrier 13, wherein he the upper floor 30 of the support member 20 in The area of the depression 31 protrudes laterally and embraces. To for this purpose, the web part 34 is U-shaped in longitudinal section and has resilient tongues 35 with locking hooks at its ends 36 at their lower ends, which, as shown in Fig. 3, the Carrier 13 on the end faces 37 of the upper base 30 of the support part 20 reach under. The surface 38 of the head part 33 of the Plug 32 is slightly concave in the transverse direction so that it is adjusts the curvature of the housing shells 16 and 17.

2, the housing shells 16 and 17 are on their outer surfaces 16a and 17a housing pockets 39, which are molded from Last 40 are formed with the housing shells 16 and 17 consist of one piece. Just like the cranks 29, the housing pockets 39 only have to be provided in the area of the carrier be. Conveniently, however, they run the entire length the housing shells through, so that the strips 40 with the housing shells 16 and 17 are pulled or pressed from one piece can.

As can be seen from FIG. 2, the free ends 21b and 22b of the support arms 21 and 22 engage in the housing pockets 39 of the housing shells 16 and 17. 2 that the housing pockets 39 in the circumferential direction 41 of the housing 12 have the same depth t as the carrier pockets 28 arranged on the carriers 13.

When the housing 12 is mounted on the supports 13, the housing shells 16 and 17 are pushed along the support arms 21 and 22 in the circumferential direction 41, the free ends 21b and 22b of the support arms 21 engaging in the housing pockets 39 and the crankings 29 on the lower edges 18 and 19 of the housing shells 16 and 17 slide into the adapted recess 31 of the bottom 30 of the support part 20. The lower edges 18 and 19 are then still at a lateral distance a from one another and form the continuous slot 23. The plugs are then inserted into the area of the supports 13 through these, which are locked on the end faces 37 of the recess 31 and with their head part 33 lock the lower edges 18 and 19 of the housing shells 16 and 17 in the recess 31 of the carrier 13.

It can be seen that after mounting and locking the housing on the supports 13, the housing shells 16 and 17 on the support arms 21 and 22 neither shifted in the circumferential direction 41, nor by these Support arms can be lifted off.

5 to 15 a somewhat different embodiment is shown, in which the housing 12 from an upper housing part 12a and there is a lower housing part 12b. The upper housing part 12a is made with the roof 15 in one piece and is on the back locked with the lower housing part 12b. The lower housing part 12b consists of two housing shells 16 and 17, which as well the previously described embodiment of individual, in lateral distance from each other arranged carriers 13 worn and are locked to it.

Just as in the embodiment of FIG. 2, the Beam box-shaped cross-section and supporting walls 20a and 20b, which are connected by an upper floor 30, which in the Support arms 21 and 22 merges. The bottom 30 has a recessed one Bottom part 42, which is approximately in this embodiment extends the entire width of the bottom 30 and approximately in the middle carries a head strip which extends in the longitudinal direction of the housing, which corresponds to the header in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 and is therefore also provided with the reference number 24. The one with the recessed bottom part 42 of the support part 20 Piece of existing web 43 of the header 24 forms together with the recessed bottom part 42 and the laterally projecting parts 26 of the head 27 of the head strip 24 carrier pockets 28, in which Cranks 29 on the lower edges 18 and 19 of the housing shells 16 and 17 intervene.

5 and 6 that the recessed bottom 42 in the lateral distance from the side walls of the web 43 and the cranks 29 of the housing shells 16 and 17 in the support part side walls 44 merges with the bottom 42 and the housing shells 16 and 17 form locking chambers 45, in which these fill Locking arms 46 of a locking element 47 are arranged are (Fig. 6).

The locking element 47 consists of a hard, resilient Plastic, and the locking arms 46 are on their one end 46a connected by a yoke 48 (Figs. 7 and 11 to 15). In the middle between the two locking arms 46 that carries Yoke 48 of the locking element 47 has a locking arm 49, which as Anchoring means. This locking arm can be in one through axial opening 50 are inserted, which at the 5 is arranged in the header 24 and extends parallel to the fabric shaft 10 in this. The Axial opening 50 can be closed all the way through Hole, but it can also be more open at the bottom Channel are formed, as is the case in FIGS. 5 to 10 illustrated embodiments is the case.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 9 the locking element 47 is secured by a cap screw 51, screwed into the rear end of the locking arm 49 is brought into position when the locking element 47 is. In the embodiment according to FIGS. 10 to 15 at the end of the locking arm 49 a pawl 52 arranged after points above and the locking element 47 in the installed state anchored by placing it behind an end face of the headboard 33 of the header 24 engages.

In the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 and 5 to 15 the head strip 24 with the support part 20 or with the bottom 30 thereof and the support arms 21 and 22 in one piece. It is then possible to press the carrier in the strand and this in individual To disassemble carrier pieces, which in turn are then again on one Support tube can be attached.

The invention is not based on the illustrated and described Embodiments limited, but there are several changes and additions possible without the scope of the invention leave. For example, the housing can also consist of more than two or three housing shells are made to work together locked or connected in any other way. It is also possible, the housing shells not made of metal, but made of a hard plastic and this in a different way to attach to the straps. But it is essential that the housing sufficiently large in its lower part over its entire length Has openings to allow water and dirt to escape, that get into the awning housing when the awning is rolled up. Furthermore, the locking elements can be designed somewhat differently be, for example, consist of simple dowels that are in the Latch chambers are inserted. The case pockets can also differently designed and arranged for example on the support arms be, then arranged on the housing shells Insert the lasts into these pockets.
