JP 2000-96877 A

  However, conventional awning devices such as an awning device may have insufficient strength because only one end of the member forming the arm is fixed to the building and the other end is a free end. There was a problem of being vulnerable to strong winds. In addition, it is difficult in terms of strength to extend the tent to a position far away from the building or the like, and there is also a problem that it is difficult to create a deep sunshade area.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a sunshade protection device that has a high structural strength and can project a seat to a position that is largely separated from a building.

  The present invention will be described below. In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, reference numerals in the accompanying drawings are appended in parentheses, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, a pair of pillars (40, 50) erected at a predetermined distance from the building (200) and the respective pillars are stretched around the building so as to be wound and unwound. Wires (60, 70), a front plate (30) spanned between the wires, and a sheet member (20) having one end attached to the front plate and the other end being rewound to the building side And the front plate is moved toward the column by pulling the wire toward the column side, and the sheet member is unwound in the column direction. Solve the problem.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, a pair of wires are stretched between a pair of pillars standing at a position separated from the building by a predetermined distance and the building, and a front plate is interposed between the wires. It is laid over. On the other hand, the front plate is fixed to one end side of the sheet member, and the other end side is configured to be wound around the building side. Thus, by pulling the wire to the pillar side, the front plate is moved to the outdoor side, and the sheet member is unwound outward from the building side.

  When the front plate is drawn until it comes into contact with the column (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “open state”), the wound sheet member is completely unwound, and the two columns The front plate forms a gate-shaped structure, and one end side of the sheet member is fixed to the front plate, so that the four corners of the sheet member are fixed directly to a member erected from the ground, or It will be very close. Therefore, in this open state, it is difficult to be affected by wind and the like, and high strength can be maintained. Moreover, since high intensity | strength can be acquired in the open state, it can be set as the sunshade prevention apparatus which can be used even if the position of a pillar is separated greatly from a building. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a deep shade and an area capable of preventing rain in the direction away from the building.

  Further, the state in which the sheet member is completely wound (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “closed state”) to the open state (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “half-open state”). It can be stopped and used. Even in this half-open state, the front plate is supported by a wire stretched between the building and the pillar, so it is compared with a conventional sunscreen device with an arm attached to the building only at one end. And high strength can be maintained.

  In addition, the front plate can be placed above the building opening in the closed state, and by appropriately selecting the design of the front plate, in addition to decorating the pillar, It is easy to enhance the design properties afterwards.

  Such an operation and gain of the present invention will be made clear from the best mode for carrying out the invention described below.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing the sunshade protection device in a closed state, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view schematically showing the sunshade protection device in an open state. The illustrated sun protection device 100 (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “sun protection device 100”) is usually attached to a building 200 having a deck 400 in front of an opening 300 such as a doorway. Is. On the deck 400 disposed outside the opening 300 of the building 200, a pair of pillars 40 and 50 are erected substantially vertically at a position separated from the building 400 by a predetermined distance. Wires 60 and 70 are bridged over the building 200 from the vicinity of the top of each of the columns 40 and 50. A line segment connecting two points where the wires 60 and 70 are attached to the building 200 is disposed horizontally above the opening 300. A sheet winding device 10 is attached to the outer wall of the building 200 along this line segment. A sheet member 20 is wound around the sheet winding device 10. As clearly shown in FIG. 2, a front plate 30 is attached to one end side of the sheet member 20. Both ends of the front plate 30 are fixed to the wires 60 and 70, respectively.

  Next, the unwinding and winding operation of the sheet member 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. As will be described later with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, a wire winding / unwinding device 80 (or 90) capable of winding and unwinding the wires 60 and 70 is attached to the columns 40 and 50.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the front plate 30 of the sunshade device 100 in the closed state is disposed in the vicinity of the building 200. From this state, when the wires 60 and 70 are pulled in the direction of the columns 40 and 50 by the wire winding / unwinding device 80 (or 90), the front plate 30 is also pulled in the directions of the columns 40 and 50 along with it. The sheet member 20 whose side is fixed is unwound from the winding device 10.

  FIG. 2 shows a state in which the above operation of the wire winding / unwinding device 80 (or 90) is continuously performed and the front plate 30 is drawn to the vicinity of the upper ends of the columns 40 and 50 (opened state). In this state, almost the entire sheet member 20 is unwound from the winding device 10 and the deck 400 is covered with the sheet member 20. Therefore, it is possible to build a shade on the deck and to block the rain.

  In the opened state of the sunshade device 100 shown in FIG. 2, the front plate 30 is bridged between the upper ends of the pair of columns 40 and 50, and a structure having a high portal shape is formed. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain a strong structure that is difficult to blow up even when strong wind is applied to the sheet member 20 that has been entirely unwound. Moreover, since such a strong structure can be obtained, the distance between the building 200 and the pillars 40 and 50 can be increased, and the shade created by the sheet member 20 or the rain-preventing space can be deepened and increased.
