Description

The invention relates to an awning with a rotatably mounted fabric shaft from which a cloth is unwound, the front end is attached to an extension profile, wherein the Ausfahrprofil is guided on guide rails in the extension direction movable, and wherein the front in the extension direction of the cloth ends of the guide rails indirectly or be carried directly by front supports.

Such awnings are known. Such awnings, in which the Ausfahrprofil is guided extendable on guide rails in the extension direction, are used in particular as conservatory awnings respectively Terrassengeschattungen with front supports.

A disadvantage of the known awnings is that they have only a low variability and in particular the inclination of the guide rails is not variable, which would be desirable, however, to drain rainwater, for example.

From the DE 20 2010 011 307 U1 Such an awning is known in which one of the support columns for unilateral lowering of the awning cloth is variable in height. The disadvantage here is that with one-sided lowering considerable tension in the entire shading system and the supports are introduced.

The object of the invention is to develop an awning of the type mentioned in such a way that it has a greater variability in the inclination of the awning fabric.

This object is achieved by an awning according to claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Particularly advantageous in the awning with a rotatably mounted cloth shaft from which a cloth is unwound, the front end is attached to an extension profile, the Ausfahrprofil is guided on guide rails in the extension direction movable and wherein the front in the extension of the cloth ends of the guide rails indirectly or are supported directly by front supports, it is that the front ends of the guide rails along the front supports are movable in height and / or that the rear ends of the guide rails are vertically movable along rear supports

The front end of the guide rails means that end of the guide rails to which the extension profile is moved when the cloth is fully extended. Accordingly, the rear end of the guide rails and the awning designates the mounting location of the rotatably mounted cloth shaft. With fully retracted awning thus the extension profile is moved to the rear end of the guide rails, while the extension profile is moved with fully extended awning to the front end of the guide rails.

Characterized in that the front ends of the guide rails along the front supports are movable in height and / or the rear ends of the guide rails along the rear supports are vertically movable, thus the inclination of the guide rails is variable. This means that by lowering the front ends of the guide rails, the awning can be raised or lowered as a whole. This means that the inclination of the cloth relative to the horizontal is variably adjustable.

Alternatively or cumulatively to a height adjustability of the front ends of the guide rails, a height adjustment of the rear ends of the guide rails can be provided. By raising or lowering the trailing ends of the guide rails along the rear supports, the inclination of the guide rails and, at the same time, the cloth stretched when the extension profile is extended can likewise be varied.

In this case, the front end of the guide rails can be arranged directly or indirectly on the front supports. Accordingly, the front supports can engage directly at the front end of the guide rails. According to the invention, however, the term "front end" also encompasses a range of up to 10% or up to 20% or up to 30% or up to 40% or up to 50% of the length of the guide rail from its front end. This means that the front supports can also be arranged indented by up to 10% or up to 20% or up to 30% or up to 40% or up to 50% of the length of the guide rails starting from the front end of the guide rails. In this case, the guide rails can project in the extension direction forward over the plane that is spanned by the front supports. In this case, the cloth extends beyond the plane between the front pillars.

Alternatively or cumulatively, the rear end of the guide rails can be arranged directly or indirectly on rear supports. Accordingly, rear supports can engage directly at the rear end of the guide rails. According to the invention, however, the term of the rear end also encompasses a range of up to 10% or up to 20% or up to 30% or up to 40% or up to 50% of the length of the guide rail from its rear end. This means that the rear supports can also be indented by up to 10% or up to 20% or up to 30% or up to 40% or up to 50% of the length of the guide rails starting from the rear end of the guide rails. In this case, the guide rails can protrude in the opposite direction to the rear over the plane that is spanned by the rear supports. In In this case, the cloth extends beyond the plane between the front pillars.

However, it can also be provided that only the front ends of the guide rails along the front supports are movable in height and the rear ends of the guide rails are pivotally mounted directly or indirectly on brackets. By means of such consoles, for example, a wall mounting can be done on a building. However, in the arrangement of rear supports for receiving the rear ends of the guide rails, whose front ends are supported by front pillars, an embodiment is possible in which the awning is supported by the front and rear pillars freestanding. If both the front ends of the guide rails along the front supports are movable in height, and the rear ends of the guide rails along rear supports are vertically movable, results in a free-standing awning with almost any adjustability of the inclination of the fabric stand with extended Ausfahrprofil.

With the concept of height-adjustable movability along guide rails is in particular includes that the guide rails are arranged between the supports and thus form the supports outside corner points of the awning in plan view from above. However, the supports may also be engaged along the length of the guide rails from the ends of the guide rails, for example up to 10% or up to 20% or up to 30% or up to 40% or up to 50% of the length of the guide rail of the starting at the respective end.

The front supports and / or rear supports may be vertical. Alternatively, the front pillars and / or rear pillars may also be inclined from the vertical. Further, the front pillars and / or rear pillars may be arcuate or circular sectioned.

Preferably, the cloth shaft is arranged in a housing and rotatably mounted in the awning housing. By the fabric shaft is rotatably mounted in a housing, the fabric shaft is protected against the weather. In particular, the extension profile of the awning can be designed such that the extension profile closes the housing of the awning against the environment when the awning is fully retracted. In this case, the awning fabric is wound on the fabric shaft and optimally protected against the weather.

Characterized in that the front ends of the guide rails along the front supports are movable in height, thus the guide rails of the awning in the front region can be raised and lowered, whereby the inclination of the cloth can be variably adjusted. In particular, for example, at a lower position of the sun, the inclination of the cloth relative to the horizontal be increased, for example, to an angle of 5 degrees or 10 degrees or 15 degrees to optimally make the shading of the underlying terrace even in low sun.

The front ends of the guide rails can be supported directly or indirectly by the front supports. Accordingly, the front ends of the guide rails via corresponding movable bearings and / or coupling elements can be mounted movable in height directly to the front supports. Preferably, coupling elements are designed to be displaceable relative both to the guide rail and to the respective front supports in order to enable the height-adjustable movability of the front ends of the guide rails relative to the front supports.

In a preferred embodiment, the front ends of the guide rails are supported by a cross member which is arranged between the front supports and is height-displaceable along the front supports. By arranging such a height-displaceable along the front supports cross member, the carries the front ends of the supports, the stability of the overall arrangement is significantly increased.

By the term that such a cross member is arranged between the front supports, it is meant that the space between the supports is bridged by this cross member. Accordingly, an arrangement of an outside from vertical support to vertical support reaching cross member with the concept of arranged between the front supports cross member in the context of the invention is also included.

The term of the front end of the guide rails in this case again includes that the guide rails can end at the cross member or the cross member relative to the front end of the guide rails rebounding by up to 10% or up to 20% or up to 30% or up to 40% or up to 50% of the length of the guide rail is positioned starting from the front end of the guide rail.

Preferably, in the extension direction of the cloth rear ends of the guide rails are indirectly or directly supported by rear supports. These rear supports may be vertical or inclined to the vertical. The arrangement of such rear supports a total unsupported Gesamtkonstuktion can be realized for shading a terrace or the like.

Preferably, the rear ends of the guide rails in the extension direction are vertically movable and / or articulated. In particular, the rear ends of the guide rails of the awning with respect to mounting brackets and / or relative to rear supports can be mounted movable in height and / or articulated.

By an articulated mounting of the rear ends of the guide rails, the pivoting of the guide rails around the rear articulation points is made possible. Alternatively or cumulatively, the rear ends of the Guide rails also be mounted variable in height movable. As a result, the variability of the entire awning is further increased.

Particularly preferably, the cloth shaft is received by a housing. In this case, the housing in particular can be moved vertically adjustable, in particular kinematically coupled with rear ends of the guide rails movable in height. By such a variable-height movability of both the front ends of the guide rails and the rear ends of the guide rails together with the housing, the entire awning can be completely variably positioned according to the user's particular desire to adjust, in particular be adjusted over the course of the day changing sun.

Furthermore, the front supports may be configured such that they correspond in their course over the height of a circular arc around the hinge at the rear end of the guide rails around.

Preferably, a housing receiving the cloth shaft is indirectly or directly coupled to the rear ends of the guide rails. In particular, the rear ends of the guide rails can be arranged in an articulated manner with respect to a housing accommodating the cloth shaft, so that the guide rails can be pivoted relative to the housing. Alternatively or cumulatively, in the case of a height-variable variable configuration of the rear end of the guide rails, a housing may be coupled to the guide rails so that the housing can be moved vertically and / or jointly with the guide rails simultaneously with the rear ends of the guide rails.

By such a variability of the front ends of the guide rails and / or the rear ends of the guide rails by a corresponding height-adjustable movability of the awning can also be placed in the shape that these in the extension direction an upward course, for example by up to 5 degrees or up to 10 degrees or rises up to 15 degrees relative to the horizontal in the extension direction of the awning rising.

Due to such variability, the awning can be adapted to the respective changing of the sun during the course of the day.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, a cross member is arranged between the front supports, which has an extendable vertical shading. In particular, such a cross member arranged between the front supports can be arranged to vary in height along the front supports.

By the term that such a cross member is arranged between the front supports, it is meant that the space between the supports is bridged by this cross member. Accordingly, an arrangement of an outside from vertical support to vertical support reaching cross member with the concept of arranged between the front supports cross member in the context of the invention is also included.

The cross member may accordingly carry a housing of a vertical shading or such a cross member may even form the housing of a vertical shading. In this case, a cloth shaft is disposed within the cross member, wherein from this cloth shaft a vertical shading is downwardly extendable. This is preferably designed in such a way that the vertical shading extends bridging over the gap between the front supports over the width of the awning and can extend vertically downwards.

Preferably, the vertical shading at the lower end of the extendable cloth on an extension profile. This extension profile can be suspended or guided freely, in particular guided on rails and / or tension cables.

When arranged between the front supports cross member may be an additional cross member, which has an extendable vertical shading. However, it may also be such a cross member itself forms a support for the front ends of the guide rails, so that the front ends of the guide rails are supported in this case indirectly via the cross member of the front supports.

Particularly preferably, a counter-tensioning system and / or a spring system is arranged in the front supports and / or in a transverse support arranged between the front supports, which counteracts the weight force acting on the front ends of the guide rails, in particular acting on attachment points of the guide rails. For example, such a Gegenzugsystem indirectly or directly act on a coupling element between the respective front end of a guide rail with the respective front support.

Preferably, a counter-tensioning system and / or a spring system is arranged in rear supports and / or in a arranged between the rear supports cross member, which acts against the weight force on the rear ends of the guide rails. For example, such a counter-pull system can act indirectly or directly on a coupling element between the respective rear end of a guide rail with the respective rear support.

In this case, such a counter-tensioning system and / or spring system is dimensioned in such a way and counteracts the weight force on the front and / or the rear ends of the guide rails that the resultant of weight and due to the Gegenzugsystems and / or the spring system acting force = 0 or ≤ 5 Newton or ≤ 10 Newton. In particular, by means of such a counter-tensioning system and / or spring system, a resultant force of any size and direction of action can be generated in order to facilitate the height adjustment of the front ends and / or the rear of the guide rails for a user.

It follows that the front ends and / or the rear ends of the guide rails for a user against the posts is easily displaced and a displacement of the front ends and / or the rear ends of the guide rails is already possible by overcoming the static friction. Furthermore, the awning can be adjusted in arbitrary positions by such a Gegenzugsystem and / or spring system. This means that the user can adjust the front ends and / or the rear ends of the guide rails at any position relative to the supports.

Furthermore, such a counter-tensioning system and / or spring system may alternatively or cumulatively be arranged at the rear end of the awning in order to facilitate the height adjustment of the rear ends of the guide rails and / or a housing accommodating the cloth shaft for the user.

In a preferred embodiment, the front ends of the guide rails can be locked directly or indirectly to the front supports. Such detents may in particular be designed in such a way that the front ends of the guide rails are indirectly or directly on the front supports positively and / or non-positively releasably fixed.

Preferably, the rear ends of the guide rails are indirectly or directly lockable on rear supports, in particular positively and / or non-positively indirectly or directly releasably secured to rear supports.

Preferably, the extension profile is acted upon by means of a Gegenzugmittels in the extension direction with a tensile force.

By applying the Ausfahrprofils in the extension direction with a tensile force is always an optimal cloth level of the extended awning fabric between the fabric shaft at the rear end of the awning and the Ausfahrprofil guaranteed at the front end of the awning. Such an optimal However, towel level is also guaranteed, provided that the extension profile is in the partially extended state at any point between the rear retracted position and the front fully extended position.

Such Gegenzugmittel can be acted upon by means of an energy storage and / or even have a force storage. Alternatively or cumulatively, toothed belt drives or the like can be provided by means of which the extension profile is extended and retracted.

Alternatively or cumulatively, the extension profile can be acted upon by means of at least one thrust-resistant drive element in the extension direction with a compressive force. By one or more shear stiff drive elements, the extension profile can be moved to the desired position along the guide rails.
