Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an anchor system for a fabric. Further, it relates to the use of such system in umbrella and sunbrella equipment, shade sail equipment, wind screen equipment, tent equipment, boating or surfing equipment, decoration equipment, stage set equipment, and partitioning screen equipment.
  • Anchoring systems for a fabric are used in a wide variety of applications, such as in umbrellas, sunbrellas, shade sails or wind screens for protection against rain, sun or wind, in tent equipment, in boating or surfing equipment for anchoring a fabric, in decoration equipment, in stage set equipment, and in partitioning screen equipment for separating two parts of a room.
  • such anchoring systems may be very simple, for example a hook for connecting a rope anchored to the fabric.
  • the fabric may also be anchored directly to the hook in case it is provided with rings or holes.
  • the hook may be for example a screw eye anchored to a wall or a tree, or simply a tent peg pushed into the ground.
  • more complex anchoring systems provide rails to be fixed to a wall or poles with a shaped groove wherein a metallic, plastic or wooden sliding block matching with the groove is slidably fixed.
  • This sliding block comprises then an anchoring point in the form of a hook or ring to anchor a rope connected to the fabric.
  • These sliding blocks are kept at a desired position in the groove by a clamping system, resulting in horizontal and/or vertical flexibility in choosing the anchoring points location relative to the rail or the pole.
  • the clamping system comprises usually a screw and nut or wing nut, which unfortunately can get lost easily when mounting or during periods the fabric and its anchoring system is stored.
  • Still another problem of using screw and nut systems is that every time one seeks to change the position of the sliding blocks to change the fabric's position, the nuts have to be released and tightened again.
  • a general problem with the above conventional anchor systems is that usually a ladder or stool is required to allow mounting the anchor system at relatively high position on the wall or pole or to allow changing the sliding block position, resulting in ergonomic inefficiency and often also in unsafe situations.
  • Another object of the present invention is that anchoring the fabric can be achieved without requiring a relatively high force from the user.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an anchoring system for a fabric that provides horizontal and/or vertical flexibility in choosing the location of the anchoring points of the fabric relative to the rail or the pole.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an anchoring system for a fabric that can be safely mounted by a person standing on the ground without the need of using cumbersome and dangerous ladders or stools.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide an anchoring system for a fabric wherein it is not needed anymore to provide tension adjusters or to diminish the pulling force of the fabric on the sliding blocks before changing its position.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide an anchoring system that is economical to manufacture.
  • the present invention meets the above objects by providing an anchor system for a fabric having a clamping lever for clamping the sliding block in the groove at a desired position, wherein the anchoring point for anchoring the fabric is located at the load arm of the clamping lever.
  • the present invention is directed to an anchor system for a fabric, the system comprising:
  • the present invention is directed to the use of such anchor system in umbrella or sunbrella equipment, shade sail equipment, wind screen equipment, tent equipment, boating or surfing equipment, decoration equipment, stage set equipment, and partitioning screen equipment.
  • an anchor system comprising:
  • the lever Since the anchoring point is located at the load arm of the clamping lever, the lever may be moved in locking position without using relatively high force or even without using any force.
  • the fabric continuously generates a pulling force to the load arm of the clamping lever such that upon slightly pushing the effort arm or even just upon releasing it, the lever is moved into locking position.
  • a further advantage is that such anchor system provides horizontal and/or vertical flexibility in choosing the location of the anchoring points of the fabric relative to the profile. Indeed, the position of the sliding block may be changed very easily. It may be sufficient to move the lever slightly in release position to release the sliding block in the groove and to slide it into another position. Upon slightly pushing then the effort arm again in locking direction of even just upon releasing it, the sliding block may be clamped in the groove again.
  • Still another advantage is that it is not needed anymore to provide tension adjusters to allow diminishing the pulling force of the fabric on the sliding blocks before changing its position. Indeed, since the fabric is anchored at the load arm of the clamping lever, the pulling force of the fabric may easily be defeated by moving the effort arm slightly into releasing position.
  • the clamping lever may be any lever suitable for clamping the sliding block at a desired position in the groove of the profile.
  • the lever fulcrum may be pivotally fixed to the profile and/or to the sliding block. In case the lever fulcrum is fixed to the sliding block only, manufacturing may be easier.
  • the effort arm may have any length, but may be sufficiently long such that a fabric can be safely mounted by a person standing on the ground without the need of using cumbersome and dangerous ladders or stools.
  • an anchor system for a fabric may be provided, wherein the groove has an inner groove surface, wherein the clamping lever load arm is fixed to the sliding block, and wherein the clamping lever fulcrum is pivotally and slidably fixed into the groove and has a protrusion pressing against the inner groove surface upon moving the lever into clamping position.
  • an anchor system for a fabric may be provided, wherein the groove has an inner groove surface, and wherein the clamping lever fulcrum is pivotally fixed to the sliding block and has a protrusion pressing against the inner groove surface upon moving the lever into clamping position.
  • a clamping lever with protrusion (h) as used in the latter embodiment is illustrated in FIG 2 .
  • an anchor system in accordance with the present invention may further comprise a tension adjuster placed between the anchoring point and the fabric for increasing the pulling force of the fabric to the load arm of the lever and to increase the reliability of clamping.
  • the profile may be any rigid profile, or any profile which is flexible, but sufficiently rigid for holding the sliding block in the groove.
  • the profile may be a rail, a pole or a wall bracket, and/or may be collapsible for easier transport and storage.
  • the profile, sliding block and clamping lever may be made of any material suitable for using in anchor systems in accordance with the present invention.
  • they may be made of aluminum, stainless steel, plastics, composite materials, or combinations thereof. These materials have the advantage that they can be made lightweight and rustproof.
  • Anchor systems in accordance with present invention may be used in umbrella or sunbrella equipment, shade sail equipment, wind screen equipment, tent equipment, boating or surfing equipment, decoration equipment, stage set equipment, and partitioning screen equipment.
  • an assembly comprising a fabric and one or more anchor systems in accordance with the present invention.
  • such assembly may have as many anchor systems as the fabric has anchoring means.
  • the fabric may be any material used for the above mentioned applications.
  • it may be made of canvas, cloth, or all kinds of natural or synthetic fibers, such as acrylic, polyester, textylene, polypropylene and nylon, or a combination thereof. Even plastic foil may be used.
  • the fabric may have any form and size and may have one or more anchoring means.
  • anchoring means may be any means suitable for anchoring to the anchoring points, such as anchoring holes, rings or ropes, or a combination thereof.
