Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a bower.
  • the invention is meant for a bower which can be erected in a detached manner as a garden or swimming pool bower.
  • such a bower offers many application possibilities. It may be used for example as an awning, a marquee, as a protection from the rain, a changing cubicle, a summer house, a flower shop, a smoking space, a showroom, a reception room, a workshop, a dinette, a storage room, an emergency accommodation and the like. It may also be used to cover a Jacuzzi, swimming pool or plunge pool arranged in a garden or on an outdoor terrace.
  • little garden and swimming pool bowers are made of a wooden or metal frame with standing posts, cross connections and a roof structure, onto which can be fixed one or several fixed or removable side walls and a covering roof, which are either or not erected permanently.
  • Said side walls and the roof can seal the frame entirely or partly from the outside, such that a space in the shape of a tent or a chapel is formed on the inside which may offer protection from sunlight, rain and other unfavorable weather conditions, and such that some privacy can also be guaranteed.
  • a disadvantage related thereto is that people usually refrain from pulling the bower down, such that it remains erected in the garden all summer long, as a result of which it is exposed to wind and rain during this whole period, such that the bower will rather quickly look weather-beaten.
  • a further known disadvantage is that bowers often obstruct the view as they are usually erected more or less permanently, and their side walls or roofs cannot be easily moved or taken away after use.
  • the present invention aims to remedy the above-mentioned and other disadvantages by providing a bower which is mainly formed of a frame of at least four posts, connected in pairs by means of joists extending in the longitudinal direction, and which are moreover connected in pairs by means of two trusses which are each formed of slanting joists which are connected at their far ends so as to form an angle, whereby the truss is provided over a part of the width of a roof frame under which are provided two rollers extending in the longitudinal direction of the bower and on which is wound a cloth which can be laterally unwound over the remaining width of the truss and which can be further guided down over a return pulley at the top end of the posts up to the foot of the posts.
  • a major advantage thereof is that the construction can be kept very simple and that, consequently, a bower according to the invention can be manufactured, stored, offered, transported and installed at a favorable price. The installation does not necessarily require any action of a craftsman.
  • Another advantage of this simple construction is that the bower occupies very little space and can be manually operated. As a result, one does not depend on power supply among others, resulting in less breakdowns and at the same time saving energy, which is environment-friendly.
  • Another advantage is that the cloth can be unrolled whenever one wishes to use the bower, and that it can be rolled up again after use, such that it is protected from dirt and damage and as a result will last longer.
  • a further additional advantage is that, by rolling up the cloths when the bower is not in use, also the visible hinder which it might cause is restricted to a minimum, since only the thin and simple supporting structure, which is an essential characteristic thereof, can stay more or less permanently erected.
  • Yet another advantage consists in that, thanks to the light and self-supporting structure of a bower according to the invention, it no longer needs to be fixed to an outer wall or any other type of fixed support, or at least to a lesser extent.
  • At least one cabinet connecting two opposite posts on the crosscut end of the bower, and which is provided with a longitudinal slot.
  • this cabinet i.e. in the longitudinal direction of the cabinet, is provided a roller on which is wound a cloth which can be drawn up along the posts via the aforesaid slot, up against the bottom side of the roof frame.
  • An advantage thereof is that not only the side walls can be easily rolled up and unrolled, but that also the front side and/or rear side of the bower can be easily unrolled and rolled up again in this way.
  • Said roller or rollers are further provided with a spring which is clamped while the cloth concerned is being unrolled so as to wind up said cloth again when the latter is released under the influence of the built-up spring tension.
  • Storage is done automatically when the side walls and/or the roof are/is rolled up since, when the cloths are rolled up, well protected against dirt and damage, and not obstructing the view in any way whatsoever, they are stored in the cabinets provided to that end.
  • This may be formed of simple hooks behind which the unwound cloth can be hooked, or it may be based on a reel system.
  • the roof frame is provided with a bottom extending in the longitudinal direction up to a distance from the roof frame and thus forming a gap through which the cloth can be unwound.
  • the cloth is then provided with a lath on its free end whose cross section is larger than the opening formed by the gap.
  • a rope or ribbon is provided on the above-mentioned lath which is externally guided over a return pulley and is pulled through up to a comfortable upward reach.
  • the posts and joists are formed of L-shaped struts whose legs are directed outward so as to cover the side edges of the unrolled cloth.
  • the free end of the cloth which is being pulled up has the shape of the lower side of the truss as a whole and the roof frame, and it is in particular made trapezoidal.
  • elements are provided in the roof frame which make it possible to apply lamps, decoration, acoustic installation components, cooling or heating elements, insect traps, alarm systems or the like.
  • An advantage thereof is that the bower can be adapted in a simple and easy way to different conditions of use requiring or needing a strongly varying, adapted or atmospheric setting.
  • Figures 1 to 5 schematically represent a bower 1 that is not in use, i.e. with the cloths forming the side walls and/or the roof being rolled up and safely stored away.
  • the bower is hereby built of a metal frame, formed of four vertical posts 3A-3D, connected in pairs by the joists 4A and 4B, and of a roof formed of two trusses built of the slanting joists 5A-5D respectively, and of a roof frame 6.
  • the roof frame 6 is provided with a bottom 7 in which has been provided atmospheric lighting in the form of lamps 8.
  • the posts 3A-3D and the joists 5A-5D are formed of L-shaped struts whose legs are directed outward.
  • a cabinet 9 is provided at ground level in which the cloth is put which is to form the rear wall, and which is represented in figure 5 as being rolled-up and stored away.
  • the respective laths 12A and 12B essentially have the same widths as those of the roof and the side wall.
  • a rope or a ribbon 13A, 13B respectively which is guided down externally over a return pulley 14A, 14B respectively, up to a comfortable upward reach.
  • hooks 15A-15D are provided at the foot of the posts 3A-3D on the inside which can co-operate in pairs and behind which the laths 12A and 12B can be hooked at ground level.
  • Figure 4 shows an example of a traditional roller as is applied in the roof frame or in the cabinet 9 and whose construction and finish is well known to the craftsman.
  • This figure shows how the roller 7 or 10 is provided with a shaft 16, around which is provided a torsion spring and which is fixed to the shaft 16 with one far end and to the roller 10 with the other far end.
  • the shaft 16 is fixed with both far ends to the roof frame 6, the cabinet 9 respectively.
  • each roller On each roller is wound a cloth which is fixed on the roller 10A-10C with one edge.
  • cross section of the lath 11 is considerably larger than the slot 17 formed by the walls of the cabinet 9 over its entire length and through which the cloth in the cabinet 9 is guided to the roller 10C.
  • Figure 6 schematically represents the bower when it is ready for use, seen in perspective, i.e. with the cloths forming the roof and the side walls unrolled and hooked, and with the cloth forming the rear wall only partly drawn up for clarity's sake.
  • Figure 7 shows a detail of the part indicated by F7 in figure 6 .
  • the torsion spring 16 situated in the cabinet 9 is clamped.
  • the cloth being hooked with the lath 11 on hooks which are provided to that end on the bottom side of the bottom 7 of the roof frame 6, together with the downward directed tensile force of the clamped spring 16 make sure that the cloth is stretched between the frame without any pouches being formed or without any fluttering.
  • the spring 16 situated in the rollers 10A and 10B will be clamped on the bottom 7 of the roof frame 6, so that, analogously to what happened in the rear wall, the tensile force of the spring 16, which is directed upward this time, will make sure that the cloth remains evenly stretched between the frame without any pouches being formed.
