Description

Awning for mechanism cabinets.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed by the set forth in this specification, refers to an awning for mechanism cabinets, which has been devised for the purpose of protect from the sun and other inclement weather, the Operators working in these cabinets located on public roads and that contain mechanisms and devices necessary for various public services, such as telephony, traffic control, of electrical distribution, etc.

The technicians who work in these cabinets, frequently they have to do it exposed to the inclemency of the Weather like rain or summer sun.

To avoid these inconveniences as much as possible, taking advantage of the fact that closets usually have two doors that open outwards, according to the invention, the installation of an awning on these doors, being also very easy to assemble and disassemble and can be applied to wide cabinets different.

Background of the invention

Umbrellas and others are currently used similar artifacts that are independent of cabinets and that they do not protect technicians fully and especially with efficiency that does the awning that the invention proposes.

Description of the invention

In general, the awning for cabinets mechanisms, object of the invention, is constituted by a canvas rectangular with two of its opposite edges connected to each other rigid profiles, being able to be rolled this set to Take up little space. The profile used has a grooved longitudinal defining the connection means to a pair of rod supports, folded "U" branches open, these supports being previously attached at the edges top of the doors or leaves of the closet where you are going to manipulate the operator and to which the operator himself will attach the awning to work so comfortably sheltered from the sun or the rain. A "U" bracket is mounted on each sheet coplanar with it and that has fastening means easily mountable and removable to be removed when the Operator has finished his task.

These fastening means are simply two pliers or pliers attached to the supports, so that the operator just open them and connect them to the top edge of the leaves once open 90º.

The branches of the "U" shape are advantageously of different length and at least the longest and that it will be the lead, it is elastic to allow it to arch and the canvas is stretched when the rigid profiles are mounted to the fit first and then the other ends of said branches in the groove of the front and rear profile. The operator fits first the posterior ends and then exerting a slight pressure on the anterior branches approximates them until they fit its ends in the grooves of the previous rigid profile, remaining thus perfectly tightened the awning. The set is very stable and the canvas is higher than the height of the closet, which allows that the operator work comfortably under it.

If desired, the "U" bracket can be made of two pieces and / or different materials and thicknesses so that the shortest branch, which we have called the posterior or more close to the hinged, be more rigid than the longest be more flexible or elastic to get the tension of the canvas.

The profile used, in addition to the slot anchorage to the lateral supports and the end receiving channel returned from the canvas to fix it, it has another channel similar to install a skirt as usual to incorporate a awning of a house.

This form of assembly allows it to be carried out whatever the width of the closet naturally provided that it does not exceed the length of the profiles, which will be the greater of the different models of cabinets.

To facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention and forming an integral part of this Descriptive report, accompanying some sheets of plans in whose figures, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature represented the following:

Description of the preferred embodiment

Referring to the numbering adopted in the figures and more specifically in relation to figure 1, we can see how the awning for mechanism cabinets, that the invention proposes, has been mounted in a closet 1 with its two doors 2 and 2 'open at right angles. These cabinets have approximately the average height of the workers working in they.

On each of doors 2 and 2 'a support 3, preferably metallic, by two pincers 4 and 4 ' They include an inner elastic spring as usual. He support 3 has two arms or branches 5 and 6 that rise at an angle approximately 45º: the shortest 5 is rigid and the longest 6 elastic. Both have their ends 7 and 10 bent out of so that they can enter profiles 8 and 8 'that are identical in section and length (see figures 1, 4, 9 and 10).

Attached to these rigid profiles 8 and 8 'is located the canvas 9 of the awning itself, which is tensioned thanks to the elasticity of the front elastic arms 6 and 6 '.

To mount the awning, once located previously the supports 3 and 3 'on the respective doors 2 and 2 ', the rigid rear profile 8 is fitted in the 7 and 7 'ends of the rear arms or 5 and 5' branches of the "U" brackets, as shown in Figure 9. A then a turn is made in the direction of arrow 11 until reach the position of figure 10 and proceed to unwind the awning (figure 3) until the front 8 'profile reaches the angled ends 10 and 10 'of the elastic arms 6 and 6', in the that fits analogously to how it was done with the profile rear 8. The awning is installed and perfectly tensioned.

To complement the protection they can be installed the hanging skirts or awnings 12 and 12 'as shown in figures 4 and 6.

As slots 13 and 13 '(figure 4) are extend along all profiles 8 and 8 ', the ends angled 7, 7 'and 10, 10', can be mounted at any point of the profile length, allowing the awning installation in cabinets of various widths as we have said before.

Reference 14 designates plugs that are fixed to the ends of profiles 8 and 8 '.

As seen more clearly in Figure 5, in this exemplary embodiment it is provided that the supports 3 and 3 'present in the junction section of the oblique branches respective pairs of lugs 15 for anchoring the axles 16 of articulation of the two blades components of the clamps or 4 and 4 'jaws, which can be held perfectly in the edge of doors or leaves 2 and 2 ', as seen in the figures 7 and 8.
