Abstract

The linkage arm awning with a shrouding (2), especially in a cassette (1) structure, has a rainwater (16) gutter along the end edge of the awning fabric (8) within the extension profile (13). A second rainwater gutter (19) is at the upper side (18) of the extension profile, open upwards, so that rainwater caught in the upper gutter flows into the lower gutter.

Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Gelenkarm-Markise mit einer Abdekkung, insbesondere eine Kassetten-Markise, umfassend eine Tuchwelle zum Aufwickeln des Markisentuches und ein mit den freien Enden von ausfahrbaren Gelenkarmen verbundenes Ausfallprofil, an dessen Innenseite das freie äußere Ende des Markisentuches festgelegt ist, wobei im Bereich der Oberkante des Ausfallprofils eine nach oben offene Regenrinne ausgebildet ist.The invention is directed to an articulated arm awning with a cover, in particular a cassette awning, comprising a fabric shaft for winding the awning fabric and connected to the free ends of extendable articulated arms drop profile, on the inside of the free outer end of the awning fabric is set, wherein an upwardly open gutter is formed in the region of the upper edge of the dropout profile.

Eine solche Markise ist aus EP 0 631 025 A1 bekannt.Such an awning is known from EP 0 631 025 A1.

Ein Problem bei derartigen Markisen besteht in einer definierten Abführung des auftreffenden Regenwassers sowohl in eingefahrenem als auch in ausgefahrenem Zustand. Gelingt es nicht, das Regenwasser gezielt abzuleiten, entstehen an der Hauswand Verunreinigungen durch längs der Hauswand abfließendes Wasser. Auch im Endbereich des Markisentuches soll das Wasser nicht einfach überlaufen, sondern seitlich weggeleitet werden.A problem with such awnings consists in a defined discharge of the incident rainwater both in the retracted and in the extended state. If it is not possible to discharge the rainwater in a targeted manner, impurities are created on the house wall through water draining along the wall of the house. Even in the end area of the awning cloth, the water should not just overflow, but be routed away to the side.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Markise der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, dass die Abführung des Wassers gegenüber herkömmlichen Konstruktionen optimiert wird.On this basis, the invention has the object, an awning of the type mentioned in such a way that the discharge of water is optimized over conventional designs.

Es ist an sich bereits bekannt, von der Hauswand abfließendes Wasser über eine Dichtlippe abzuleiten, wobei das Wasser über den Markisenkasten fließt, dann über das Ausfallprofil und dann abtropft. Dadurch verschmutzt das Ausfallprofil und es kommt zu unansehnlichen Schmutzstreifen.It is already known to divert water flowing from the wall of the house via a sealing lip, the water flowing over the awning box, then dropping over the drop profile and then dropping off. As a result, contaminates the front rail and it comes to unsightly dirt.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass längs der Aussenkante des Markisentuches im Inneren des Ausfallprofils eine weitere Regenrinne ausgebildet ist, die bei ausgefahrenem Ausfallprofil auf die Oberseite des Markisentuches auftreffendes Wasser aufnimmt, und dass bei eingefahrenem Ausfallprofil das Wasser aus der oberen, nach oben offenen Regenrinne in die untere Regenrinne im Inneren des Ausfallprofils abfließen kann.To achieve this object, the invention provides that along the outer edge of the awning fabric inside the dropout profile another gutter is formed, which absorbs the extended impact profile on the top of the awning cloth impinging water, and that when retracted the water profile from the top to the top open rain gutter can drain into the lower gutter inside the dropout profile.

Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird erreicht, dass einerseits im ausgefahrenen Zustand des Markisentuches das auf das Tuch von oben auftreffende Wasser im Inneren des Ausfallprofils seitlich weggeführt wird, und dass bei eingefahrenem Ausfahr-Profil durch die obere, offene Regenrinne das von der Abdeckung abfließende Wasser aufgefangen wird.By this configuration it is achieved that on the one hand in the extended state of the awning cloth on the cloth from the top impacting the inside of the dropout profile is led away laterally, and that is retracted when the retracting profile through the upper, open gutter, the effluent from the cover water ,

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung kommt das von der Hauswand abfließende Wasser bei eingefahrener Markise mit dem Ausfallprofil nicht mehr in Berührung und es wird eine Schmutzstreifenbildung zuverlässig vermieden.Due to the configuration of the invention, the water flowing from the wall of the house is no longer in contact with the drop-out profile when the awning is retracted, and dirt-streaking is reliably prevented.

Zum seitlichen Abführen des Regenwassers ist vorgesehen, dass die untere Regenrinne wenigstens einen seitlich nach außen vorstehenden Abtropf-Ansatz aufweist.For the lateral discharge of rainwater is provided that the lower gutter has at least one laterally outwardly projecting drip approach.

Die untere Regenrinne verläuft günstigerweise unmittelbar anschließend und parallel zu einer Keder-Nut und einem Keder an der Außenkante des Markisentuches, wobei mit Vorteil zwischen Keder-Nut und unterer Regenrinne ein Überleit-Profil ausgebildet ist, um das abfließende Wasser direkt in die Regenrinne zu leiten.The lower gutter is conveniently immediately adjacent and parallel to a piping groove and a piping on the outer edge of the awning fabric, wherein advantageously between Keder groove and lower gutter a Überleit profile is formed to direct the effluent water directly into the gutter ,

In dem Bereich zwischen der Hinterkante der Abdeckung und der Wand kann ein nach oben gewölbtes Abdeck-Profil vorgesehen sein, um das Eindringen von Wasser in diesem Bereich zu vermeiden.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispieles in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen:

In the area between the rear edge of the cover and the wall, an upwardly curved cover profile may be provided to prevent the ingress of water in this area.
The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a preferred embodiment in conjunction with the drawings. Showing:

Eine in der Zeichnung dargestellte Markise umfaßt eine Kassette 1 mit einer oberen Abdeckung 2, welche mit Hilfe von Konsolen 3 an der Wand 4 befestigt ist. In eine Nut 5 an der Oberseite der Abdeckung 2 ist ein Profilansatz 6 eines Abdeck-Profiles 7 eingesetzt, welches leicht nach oben gewölbt der Wand 4 anliegt und dementsprechend von der Wand 4 abfließendes Regenwasser auf die Abdeckung 2 lenkt, sodass verhindert wird, dass das Wasser über den Bereich der Wandkonsolen 3 läuft.An awning shown in the drawing comprises a cassette 1 with an upper cover 2, which is fastened by means of brackets 3 to the wall 4. In a groove 5 at the top of the cover 2, a profiled projection 6 of a covering profile 7 is used, which slightly upwardly curved the wall 4 is applied and accordingly flows from the wall 4 draining rainwater on the cover 2, so that prevents the Water over the area of the wall brackets 3 runs.

Ein Markisentuch 8 ist auf einer Tuch-Welle 9 unter Ausbildung eines Tuchwickels 10 aufgewickelt, wobei an der freien Außenkante 11 des Markisentuches 8 ein Keder 12 eingenäht ist.An awning fabric 8 is wound on a cloth shaft 9 to form a cloth roll 10, wherein at the free outer edge 11 of the awning fabric 8, a welt 12 is sewn.

An den äußeren Enden von in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Gelenkarmen, deren innere Enden mit einem ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Trag-Rohr verbunden sind, ist ein Ausfallprofil 13 angelenkt. Das Ausfallprofil 13 weist eine Keder-Nut 14 auf, in welcher der Keder 12 des Markisentuches 8 festgelegt ist.At the outer ends of articulated arms, not shown in the drawing, whose inner ends are connected to a support tube, also not shown, a front rail 13 is articulated. The drop profile 13 has a piping groove 14, in which the piping 12 of the awning fabric 8 is fixed.

An die Keder-Nut 14 schließt sich ein Überleit-Profil 15 an, welches bei ausgefahrenem Ausfallprofil 13 auf die Oberseite des Markisentuches auftreffendes Wasser 16 in eine innere, im Querschnitt rohrförmige Regenrinne 17 leitet.Adjoining the piping groove 14 is a transfer profile 15 which, when the outgoing profile 13 is extended, guides water 16 impinging on the upper side of the awning fabric into an inner rain gutter 17, which is tubular in cross section.

An der Oberkante 18 des Ausfallprofils 13 ist eine nach oben offene zweite Regenrinne 19 ausgebildet, die (vgl. Fig. 1) an der Oberseite der Abdeckung 2 abfließendes Wasser 16 im eingefahrenen Zustand des Ausfallprofils 13 aufnimmt.At the upper edge 18 of the drop-out profile 13, an upwardly open second rain gutter 19 is formed, which receives water 16 draining off the upper side of the cover 2 in the retracted state of the outflow profile 13 (see FIG.

Aus Fig. 3 ist erkennbar, dass der äußere Endbereich 20 des Ausfallprofils 13 so ausgebildet ist, dass das von der oberen Regenrinne 19 abfließende Wasser in den Bereich der unteren Regenrinne 17 gelangt und zusammen mit dem von dort abfließenden Wasser über einen seitlich vorstehenden Ableit-Ansatz 21 seitlich des Ausfallprofils 13 nach unten abfließt.It can be seen from FIG. 3 that the outer end region 20 of the outflow profile 13 is designed in such a way that the water draining from the upper rain gutter 19 reaches the region of the lower rain gutter 17 and, together with the water flowing out there, via a laterally projecting discharge channel. Approach 21 flows off the side of the drop profile 13 down.
