Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an improved awning for protection against the sun, rain, or other environmental influences, for example for covering the area of a porch, balcony or the like.
  • awnings comprise a housing which is to be fixed with its backside against a wall or support and which is open to the front; a front lath to close the front opening of the housing when the awning is stored.
  • the front lath is supported on the housing by means of two or more articulated arms that tend to push the front lath away from the housing by means of springs that tend to open the articulated arms into their stretched position.
  • a roll-up shaft is rotatably supported in the housing by means of bearings, supporting the shaft at its extremities in the housing and on which a cloth is wound that is fixed with one edge to the front lath.
  • the shaft can be operated automatically by a motor or manually by a suitable drive mechanism.
  • Such an awning is for example disclosed in EP 2.199.484 .
  • a disadvantage of such an awning is that the front opening of the housing is not completely closed up by the front lath, allowing moisture and dust to enter the housing, which can lead to the cloth and drive mechanism becoming dirty or damaged.
  • Another disadvantage is that when storing the awning, the contact between the front lath and the housing can give an unpleasantly loud bang.
  • Still another disadvantage is that generally an extra lighting must be provided when the awning is used in the dark or on cloudy days.
  • a disadvantage of such lighting is that it takes up some space on the porch or balcony, forming an obstacle for people passing under the awning or leading to risky situations as bumping into the lighting or tripping over an electrical wire of the like.
  • the extra lighting is a spot lighting, as is known from EP 2.199.484 wherein halogen spots are used which are fixed to the bottom of the fixed housing.
  • spot lighting does not allow for ideal uniform lighting conditions and usually gives spots of intense light surrounded by dark areas.
  • the present invention aims to remedy one or several of the above-mentioned and other disadvantages.
  • the invention concerns an awning with a housing with a front opening and a front lath for covering the front opening in a closed position of the awning, whereby the awning is provided with a lighting and whereby the lighting comprises a light strip that is provided between the housing and the awning and extending in the longitudinal direction of the awning, the strip being fixed either to the housing or to the front lath and being visible at least partly when the awning is in its closed position and whereby the light strip is made as a sealing and / or abutment between the housing and the front lath.
  • an advantage of an awning according to the invention is that the light strip is very small and is mounted in an elevated position where it does not form an obstacle or risk of injuries by bumping into or tripping or the like.
  • the light strip is moreover always in a position to give an evenly distributed lighting over the area covered by the awning.
  • the light strip can also be used when the awning is stored in its closed position for lighting the area in the vicinity of the awning.
  • the light strip is made of a flexible material and is provided with a plurality of LEDs distributed over the length of the strip, improving that way the uniform light distribution, with sufficient light intensity and allowing to design the strip as a very slim strip that does not disturb the general appearance of the awning in its classic form.
  • Such light strip with LEDs is also advantageous with respect to energy consumption.
  • the light strip can be used as an abutment for the closing movement of the front lath when closing the awning and can also be used as a sealing between the housing and the front lath to keep out dirt and moisture when the awning is stored.
  • the strip can advantageously be made of rubber or silicones with the LEDs imbedded in the material of the strip.
  • An additional light strip of the same kind can be provided on the inside of the housing to generate indirect lighting for the area covered by the awning when deployed.
  • the awning 1 represented in figure 1 mainly consists of a housing 2 to be fixed with its backside 3 to a wall or other support which is not represented.
  • the housing 2 has an opening 4 at the front from which two articulated arms 5 extend, supporting a front lath 6 which can cover the opening 4 when the awning 1 is not in use.
  • the arms 5 are provided with internal springs which are not shown and which tend to open the arms as in the situation shown in figure 1 and which therefore tend to push the front lath 6 away from the housing 2 in the direction illustrated with arrow A.
  • the housing 1 comprises a rollup shaft 7 that is supported rotatably in the housing 1 by means of bearings (not shown) mounted in an end cap 8 on each extremity of the housing 1.
  • the awning 1 is provided with a light strip 11 extending in the longitudinal direction of the awning, which strip 11 is fixed in this case to a lower longitudinal edge 12 of the housing 2 at a lower level than the cloth 9.
  • the light strip 11 is mounted in such a manner that the light strip 11 is visible, at least partly, not only when the awning 1 is opened as represented in figures 1 and 3 , but also when the awning is closed as in figure 2 .
  • the light strip 11 is preferably made of rubber or silicones or other flexible transparent material and comprises a plurality of LEDs 13 that are embedded in the material of the strip 11 and that are evenly distributed over the length of the strip 11.
  • the light strip 11 is profiled in such a way that it can be clipped on or slid over the lower longitudinal edge 12 of the housing 2.
  • the lower edge 12 of the housing 2 is formed as a profile with a u-shaped part, view in cross-section, with a bottom 14 and two legs 15 pointing down, one leg 15 having an edge being bent over laterally to form a first protruding rib 16 extending more or less horizontally, the other leg 15 forming a second protruding rib 17 extending more or less at right angles with respect to the first protruding part 16 in a more or less vertical direction.
  • the light strip 11 is provided with two longitudinal hook-shaped flexible parts 18 and 19 respectively, that respectively fit over said longitudinal ribs 16 and 17.
  • the strip 11 comprises a central body 20 comprising the embedded LEDs and joining the hook-shaped parts 18 and 19.
  • the body 20 fits into the space defined by the U-shaped lower edge 12 of the housing 2.
  • said light strip 11 can be easily clipped on or slid on said lower edge 12.
  • an additional light strip 11 of the same kind is provided on the inside of the front lath 6, in particular in a cavity 21 in a bottom part 22 of the front lath 6 into which the light strip 11 is pressed.
  • the light strips 11 can be lit to give an evenly spread lighting of the area covered by the awning, the strip 11 on the housing 2 being positioned to give direct light, whilst the strip 11 on the lath 6 is positioned to give indirect light being reflected on the lower surface of the cloth 9, giving an extra touch and sphere to the lighting.
  • the additional lighting on the lath 6 is of course only optional.
  • the awning 1 and the light strip 11 on the housing 2 can be designed in such a way that said light strip 11 functions as a resilient abutment for the front lath 6 when the awning is closed by winding the cloth 9 on the shaft 7 and moving the front lath 6 towards the housing 2 until the front lath 7 makes contact with the light strip 11 as illustrated by figure 2 .
  • the light strip 11 therefore can function as a kind of shock absorber for the closing movement of the front lath 6.
  • the light strip can also function as a sealing between the housing and the front lath.
  • the same strip 11 can be arranged on the inner edge 23 of the lath 6 in a way that the strip 11 is visible also when the awning 1 is closed and that it can function as an abutment and/or sealing.
  • the presence of the lighting strip 11 does not alter much the general appearance of the awning 1 and that the strip can even add a touch of artistic detail.
