That is, the front and rear awning frames 18 are connected by the sheet-like member 19.

  The length of each awning frame 18 and the width of each sheet-like member 19 are substantially the same as the length of the front and rear girder frames 3.

  In this embodiment, the lengths of the respective sheet-like members 19 are made the same, and the intervals between the awning frames 18 are the same when the awning sheet 4 is opened. However, the lengths of all the sheet-like members 19 are not necessarily the same. It is not necessary to arrange the same.

  In the present embodiment, the illumination means 22 is provided on the bottom surface 18 d of the awning frame 18 along the longitudinal direction of the awning frame 18. The illumination means 22 is a light emitting diode, for example, and is embedded in the awning frame 18. However, the illumination means 22 is not limited to a light emitting diode, and any illumination means 22 can be used as long as it can be attached to the awning frame 18.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of light emitting diodes that are unitized in a bar shape as the illumination means 22 are embedded in an elongated groove 18e provided on the bottom surface 18d of the sunshade frame 18. The elongated groove 18e is provided over the entire length of the awning frame 18. A light emitting diode unit (hereinafter referred to as an LED unit 22) is a unit in which a plurality of light emitting diodes are arranged on a substrate and accommodated in a mounting tube. A flexible substrate and a tube are used and can be bent as a whole. Yes. The tube is formed of, for example, silicone rubber that allows light from the light-emitting diode to pass through while being dispersed. Each light emitting diode is attached downward to the substrate, and emits light downward when the LED unit 22 is embedded in the elongated groove 18e of the sunshade frame 18. Since the light of each light emitting diode is dispersed when passing through the tube, the entire bottom of the LED unit 22 appears to emit light. The power cord 22a of the LED unit 22 is pulled out from a hole 18f provided in the awning frame 18, and the LED units 22 of the awning frames 18 are connected in series as shown in FIG. The power cord 22 a that connects the LED units 22 of the sunshade frames 18 in series is routed over the sheet-like member 19. The power cords 22a of the LED units 22 at both ends are connected to a battery (not shown) via a switch (not shown).

  The illuminating means 22 is lit mainly with the awning sheet 4 open, but may be lit with the awning sheet 4 closed.

  The awning sheet 4 is substantially the same size as the roof frame unit 1 in the fully opened state.

  Among the awning frames 18, the awning frames 18 other than the awning frame (hereinafter referred to as a fixed awning frame) 18 on the subsequent digit frame 3 side are supported by the sliding means 17 so as to be movable along the left and right digit frames 3. Yes. The slide means 17 includes a guide provided in the left and right girder frame 3 along the longitudinal direction, and a slider 24 that moves while being guided by the guide and supports the end portion of the awning frame 18. In the present embodiment, the guide rail 15 of the guide portion 3b of the girder frame 3 is used as a guide, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  The slider 24 includes a roller 25 that rolls on a guide rail 15 as a guide, a hang stay 26 on which the roller 25 is rotatably attached, and a hanging tool 27 that suspends the end of the sunshade frame 18 on the hang stay 26. It is made up of. In the present embodiment, two rollers 25 are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this. The hanging tool 27 is composed of a pair of left and right clamping pieces 27a, and is fixed by, for example, bolts 28 in a state where the square pipe portion 18a of the awning frame 18 is clamped by the claw portion 27b at the lower end. The upper end of each clamping piece 27 a is attached to the hang stay 26 by, for example, a bolt 29. As each roller 25 rolls on the guide rail 15, the awning frame 18 can be moved along the guide rail 15, that is, the left and right girder frames 3.

  In this embodiment, both ends of the awning frame 18 are supported by the same slider 24, and the awning frame 18 is suspended horizontally.

  In addition, brackets 30 are attached to the left and right sliders 24 that support both ends of the awning frame 18 at the top (the previous digit frame 3 side) (FIGS. 9 and 10). A traction rail 31 is bridged between the brackets 30 of the left and right sliders 24.

  Both ends of the fixed awning frame 18 are fixed at positions near the rear ends of the left and right girder frames 3 by the locking means 32 (FIG. 16). The locking means 32 includes a hang stay 33 that is screwed to the left and right girder frames 3, for example, and a suspending tool 27 that suspends the end of the awning frame 18 on the hang stay 33. In this embodiment, the same suspension as the suspension 27 of the slider 24 is used as the suspension 27 of the locking means 32, but the same may not necessarily be used. The locking means 32 attaches the fixed awning frame 18 to the left and right girder frames 3 and does not move even when pulled by the sheet-like member 19 connected to the fixed awning frame 18.

  In this embodiment, both ends of the fixed awning frame 18 are supported by the same locking means 32, and the fixed awning frame 18 is suspended horizontally like the other awning frames 18.

  9 to 17 show the opening / closing operation means 5 of the present embodiment. The opening / closing operation means 5 includes a rope 35 connected to the awning sheet 4 and a drawing means 36 that draws the rope 35 and hangs it in the vicinity of the column 2. In the present embodiment, the routing means 36 includes a first pulley 36a provided on the front spar frame 3, second and third pulleys 36b and 36c provided on the rear spar frame 3, and the right spar frame 3 The fourth and fifth pulleys 36d and 36e provided on the right side are configured so that the rope 35 is suspended in the vicinity of the rear support column 2 on the right side.

  The first pulley 36a is shown in FIGS. The first pulley 36a is attached to the center of the rear surface 45 of the front girder frame 3 with its rotation center axis directed in the left-right direction. The second and third pulleys 36b and 36c are shown in FIGS. The second and third pulleys 36b and 36c are provided coaxially, and are attached to the center of the front face 46 of the rear girder frame 3 with their rotation center axes being vertical. The fourth and fifth pulleys 36d and 36e are shown in FIGS. The fourth and fifth pulleys 36d and 36e are provided coaxially, and are attached to the vicinity of the rear end of the inner side surface 47 of the right girder frame 3 with their rotation center axes directed in the front-rear direction. .

  One end of the rope 35 is connected to a front connector 37 provided on the front surface of the pulling rail 31, and is routed from the first pulley 36a → the second pulley 36b → the fourth pulley 36d to the right rear column 2 After forming the hanging portion 35a by being hung down in the form of a loop in the vicinity of the rear connection, the other end is provided on the rear surface of the pulling rail 31 by being routed from the fifth pulley 36e to the third pulley 36c. It is connected to the tool 38. Therefore, when the pulling operation is performed to lower the rope 35 on the fourth pulley 36d side of the hanging portion 35a provided between the fourth pulley 36d and the fifth pulley 36e, the tow rail 31 is pulled forward. While moving, the rope 35 on the fifth pulley 36e side of the hanging part 35a is pulled and raised by the forward movement of the pulling rail 31. That is, the entire routed rope 35 rotates so as to circulate (hereinafter, this direction of rotation is referred to as rotation in the opening direction). On the other hand, when the pulling operation is performed so that the rope 35 on the fifth pulley 36e side of the hanging portion 35a is lowered, the pulling rail 31 is pulled and moved backward, and the pulling rail 31 moves backward to move the first hanging portion 35a. The rope 35 on the 4 pulley 36d side is pulled up and raised. That is, the entire rope 35 rotates so as to circulate (hereinafter, the rotation in this direction is referred to as the rotation in the closing direction).

  The rope 35 is wound from above on the second pulley 36b side with respect to the fourth pulley 36d (FIG. 17B), and on the third pulley 36c side with respect to the fifth pulley 36e. It is wound from below (FIG. 17 (A)). Therefore, the rotation directions of the fourth pulley 36d and the fifth pulley 36e can be aligned, and the rope 35 is wound around the fourth pulley 36d and the fifth pulley 36e. Therefore, the tension of the rope 35 can be simplified.

  Note that the hanging portion 35a of the rope 35 may be provided in the vicinity of the left rear column 2 by reversing the left-right relationship of the opening / closing operation means 5. Alternatively, a pulley may be added to route the rope 35 to the vicinity of the right front strut 2 or the left front strut 2 to provide the hanging portion 35a. In these cases, the awning sheet 4 can be opened and closed by operating the rope 35.

  When the sunshade 4 in the fully closed state shown in FIG. 2 is opened, the rope 35 is rotated in the opening direction by operating the drooping portion 35a on the fourth pulley 36d side. As a result, the traction rail 31 moves forward, the leading slider 24 connected to the traction rail 31 also moves forward, and the leading awning frame 18 is pulled forward. Since the tow rail 31 moves the left and right head sliders 24 together, the head awning frame 18 can be pulled out without being tilted.

  Each of the awning frames 18 whose both ends are movably supported by the slider 24 are connected to each other by the sheet-like member 19, so that each of the other awning frames 18 is sequentially pulled out following the head awning frame 18, and the awning sheet. 4 is opened. Since the rearmost awning frame (fixed awning frame) 18 is fixed to the left and right girder frames 3 and does not move, the awning sheet 4 can be widened and stretched on the roof frame unit 1 (FIG. 1).

  In the fully open state of the awning sheet 4, each sheet-like member 19 is stretched substantially horizontally. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the light of the illumination means 22 provided on the bottom surface 18 d of each sunshade frame 18 from being blocked by each sheet-like member 19. Here, the phrase “substantially leveling the sheet-like member 19” includes not only the case where the sheet-like member 19 is tensioned so as to be level without slack, but also the user who is under the sunshade sheet 4 In contrast, a case where the light is loose as long as it does not block the light of the illumination means 22 is included. That is, in the fully open state of the awning sheet 4, the sheet-like member 19 may be stretched to such an extent that the user under the awning sheet 4 does not block the light of the illumination means 22.

  Further, when the awning sheet 4 in the fully opened state shown in FIG. 1 is closed, the rope 35 is rotated in the closing direction by operating the fifth pulley 36e side of the hanging portion 35a. As a result, the tow rail 31 moves rearward, the leading slider 24 connected to the towing rail 31 also moves rearward, and the leading awning frame 18 is pulled back. Since the tow rail 31 moves the left and right head sliders 24 together, the head awning frame 18 can be pulled back without tilting.

  By pulling back the first awning frame 18, the other awning frames 18 are sequentially pushed back by the first awning frame 18. At this time, the sheet-like member 19 between the awning frames 18 is folded. Thereby, the awning sheet 4 is closed. The awning sheet 4 is closed so as to be brought under the top cover 39.

  Thus, the sunshade sheet 4 can be easily opened and closed simply by operating the hanging portion 35a of the rope 35. Moreover, since the awning sheet 4 is supported by the slider 24, the operating force for opening and closing can be reduced. Furthermore, since the awning sheet 4 is brought under the top cover 39 when not in use, it is possible to prevent deterioration due to sunlight, rain, or the like, and to prevent contamination due to dust or the like.

  Next, the case where a pergola type awning is connected will be described. Here, as shown in FIG. 18 (A), the case where an additional pergola awning is connected to the right side of the above-described basic form of pergola awning will be described as an example. It may be connected to the front side or the rear side, and may be connected to the front and rear sides. In addition, it may be connected to the building diagonally opposite. In addition, a pergola type awning that has been linked may be further linked. FIG. 18B shows an example in which the buildings are connected to the left, front, and diagonally opposite.

Therefore, when the pulling operation is performed to lower the rope 35 on the fourth pulley 36d side of the hanging portion 35a provided between the fourth pulley 36d and the fifth pulley 36e, the tow rail 31 is pulled forward. While moving, the rope 35 on the fifth pulley 36e side of the hanging part 35a is pulled and raised by the forward movement of the pulling rail 31. That is, the entire routed rope 35 rotates so as to circulate (hereinafter, this direction of rotation is referred to as rotation in the opening direction). On the other hand, when the pulling operation is performed so that the rope 35 on the fifth pulley 36e side of the hanging portion 35a is lowered, the pulling rail 31 is pulled and moved backward, and the pulling rail 31 moves backward to move the first hanging portion 35a. The rope 35 on the 4 pulley 36d side is pulled up and raised. That is, the entire rope 35 rotates so as to circulate (hereinafter, the rotation in this direction is referred to as the rotation in the closing direction).

  The rope 35 is wound from above on the second pulley 36b side with respect to the fourth pulley 36d (FIG. 17B), and on the third pulley 36c side with respect to the fifth pulley 36e. It is wound from below (FIG. 17 (A)). Therefore, the rotation directions of the fourth pulley 36d and the fifth pulley 36e can be aligned, and the rope 35 is wound around the fourth pulley 36d and the fifth pulley 36e. Therefore, the tension of the rope 35 can be simplified.

  Note that the hanging portion 35a of the rope 35 may be provided in the vicinity of the left rear column 2 by reversing the left-right relationship of the opening / closing operation means 5. Alternatively, a pulley may be added to route the rope 35 to the vicinity of the right front strut 2 or the left front strut 2 to provide the hanging portion 35a. In these cases, the awning sheet 4 can be opened and closed by operating the rope 35.

  When the sunshade 4 in the fully closed state shown in FIG. 2 is opened, the rope 35 is rotated in the opening direction by operating the drooping portion 35a on the fourth pulley 36d side. As a result, the traction rail 31 moves forward, the leading slider 24 connected to the traction rail 31 also moves forward, and the leading awning frame 18 is pulled forward. Since the tow rail 31 moves the left and right head sliders 24 together, the head awning frame 18 can be pulled out without being tilted.

  Each of the awning frames 18 whose both ends are movably supported by the slider 24 are connected to each other by the sheet-like member 19, so that each of the other awning frames 18 is sequentially pulled out following the head awning frame 18, and the awning sheet. 4 is opened. Since the rearmost awning frame (fixed awning frame) 18 is fixed to the left and right girder frames 3 and does not move, the awning sheet 4 can be widened and stretched on the roof frame unit 1 (FIG. 1).

  In the fully open state of the awning sheet 4, each sheet-like member 19 is stretched substantially horizontally. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the light of the illumination means 22 provided on the bottom surface 18 d of each sunshade frame 18 from being blocked by each sheet-like member 19. Here, the phrase “substantially leveling the sheet-like member 19” includes not only the case where the sheet-like member 19 is tensioned so as to be level without slack, but also the user who is under the sunshade sheet 4 In contrast, a case where the light is loose as long as it does not block the light of the illumination means 22 is included. That is, in the fully open state of the awning sheet 4, the sheet-like member 19 may be stretched to such an extent that the user under the awning sheet 4 does not block the light of the illumination means 22.

  Further, when the awning sheet 4 in the fully opened state shown in FIG. 1 is closed, the rope 35 is rotated in the closing direction by operating the fifth pulley 36e side of the hanging portion 35a. As a result, the tow rail 31 moves rearward, the leading slider 24 connected to the towing rail 31 also moves rearward, and the leading awning frame 18 is pulled back. Since the tow rail 31 moves the left and right head sliders 24 together, the head awning frame 18 can be pulled back without tilting.

  By pulling back the first awning frame 18, the other awning frames 18 are sequentially pushed back by the first awning frame 18. At this time, the sheet-like member 19 between the awning frames 18 is folded. Thereby, the awning sheet 4 is closed. The awning sheet 4 is closed so as to be brought under the top cover 39.

  Thus, the sunshade sheet 4 can be easily opened and closed simply by operating the hanging portion 35a of the rope 35. Moreover, since the awning sheet 4 is supported by the slider 24, the operating force for opening and closing can be reduced. Furthermore, since the awning sheet 4 is brought under the top cover 39 when not in use, it is possible to prevent deterioration due to sunlight, rain, or the like, and to prevent contamination due to dust or the like.

  Next, the case where a pergola type awning is connected will be described. Here, as shown in FIG. 18 (A), the case where an additional pergola awning is connected to the right side of the above-described basic form of pergola awning will be described as an example. It may be connected to the front side or the rear side, and may be connected to the front and rear sides. In addition, it may be connected to the building diagonally opposite. In addition, a pergola type awning that has been linked may be further linked. FIG. 18B shows an example in which the buildings are connected to the left, front, and diagonally opposite.

In this case, 4A is attached). In this embodiment, another pergola type awning is linked to the right side of the basic pergola type awning, so the right and left columns 2 of the basic form and the right girder frame 3 of the basic form are shared, 2A (additional right and left support columns) 2A and 3 digit frames (additional and subsequent digit frames and additional right digit frame) 3A Add Therefore, the additional roof frame unit 1 (hereinafter referred to as reference numeral 1A when particularly distinguished from the roof frame unit 1 of the basic form) is a common left digit frame (right digit frame 3 in the basic part) 3A. It consists of an additional part of the right digit frame 3A and an additional part of the digit frame 3A. Similarly, the other members of the support 2A, the girder frame 3A, and the awning sheet 4A described above will be described with an A added at the end of the reference numerals in the same manner as described below in order to distinguish them from those of the basic form.

  As the newly added column 2A, the same one as the above-mentioned basic form column 2 is used, and as the newly added digit frame 3A, the same one as the above-mentioned basic form digit frame 3 is used. Description of these will be omitted.

  In addition, the connection part 6 is provided toward the four directions also in the additional support | pillar 2A, and the unused connection part 6 becomes the connection part 6 used when connecting another pergola type awning. Yes. That is, similarly to the above-mentioned basic support column 2, the additional support beam frame 2A can be connected to the additional support column 2A, and the cover 7 can be used when no additional additional beam frame 3A is connected. A connecting part 6 is provided which is covered by

  As shown in FIG. 19, in addition to the front and right digit frames 3 and 3 of the basic portion, the additional front portion frame 3A is connected to the common front and right support column 2 in common. Further, in addition to the basic part and the right digit frame 3, 3, the additional post part digit frame 3 </ b> A is connected to the common basic part right rear column 2.

  The newly added awning sheet 4A is the same as the awning sheet 4 of the basic form described above, and the sliding means 17A (FIG. 20) for supporting the additional awning sheet 4A is also the sliding means 17 of the basic form. Since the same thing is used, description about these is abbreviate | omitted.

  In this embodiment, the connecting means 40 which links opening / closing of the awning sheet | seat 4 and opening / closing of the additional awning sheet | seat 4A is provided. In the present embodiment, the connecting means 40 is provided with a bracket for connecting the leading slider 24 of the pergola awning of the basic form and the leading slider 24A of the additional pergola awning (FIG. 20), but is not limited thereto. Absent. The connecting means 40 connects the sliders 24 and 24A facing each other below the shared girder frame 3. By connecting the two pergola type awning sliders 24, 24 </ b> A, the awning sheets 4, 4 </ b> A can be simultaneously opened / closed by the single opening / closing operation means 5. That is, the basic pergola type awning opening / closing operation means 5 is shared with the additional pergola type awning, thereby suppressing an increase in the number of components.

  However, the opening / closing operation means 5A may also be provided for the additional pergola type awning. In this case, if the connecting means 40 is not provided, the basic pergola awning awning sheet 4 and the additional pergola awning awning sheet 4A can be opened and closed separately. If the connecting means 40 is provided, both the awning sheets 4 and 4A can be opened and closed by operating any of the opening / closing operation means 5 and 5A, and the operation can be performed from two places.

  By connecting pergola type awnings, the number of components can be greatly reduced as compared with the case where they are simply installed side by side, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In addition, since the component parts can be shared, the number of components manufactured can be increased, and the manufacturing cost can be further reduced due to the mass production effect.

  In FIG. 20, the additional awning sheet 4 </ b> A is inclined as described later, but it may not be inclined. Further, instead of inclining the additional awning sheet 4A, the basic awning sheet 4 may be inclined. Further, both the basic awning sheet 4 and the additional awning sheet 4A may be inclined.

  The above-described embodiment is an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but is not limited thereto, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

  For example, in the above description, the left and right heights of the awning sheet 4 are aligned, but the left and right heights of the awning sheet 4 may be changed and inclined. For example, the awning sheet 4 can be tilted left and right by changing the lengths of the slider 24 and the locking means 32 of the left and right sliding means 17. For example, when the left side of the awning sheet 4 is lowered, the suspending tool 27 of the slider 24 of the left sliding means 17 and the suspending tool 27 of the left locking means 32 are lengthened, and the left end of each awning frame 18 is increased. The awning sheet 4 can be inclined by lowering the support position. However, the means for inclining the awning sheet 4 to the left and right is not limited to this.

  Moreover, when the awning sheet 4 is inclined to the left and right, it is preferable to provide the rain gutter 41 on the lower side. For example, when the left side of the awning sheet 4 is lowered, a gutter 41 is provided between the front and rear columns 2 on the left side. The rain gutter 41 is inclined forward and backward, and a vertical gutter 42 is provided on the lower support column 2. Rainwater that has flowed down from the awning sheet 4 and received by the rain gutter 41 is guided to the ground through the vertical gutter 42.

  A rain gutter cover that guides rain water that has flowed down from the awning sheet 4 to the gutter 41 may be provided. By guiding the rainwater flowing down from the awning sheet 4 to the rain gutter 41 by the gutter cover, the rain water can be collected in the gutter 41 more reliably.

  Further, the awning sheet 4 may be tilted back and forth. That is, the awning seat 4 can be tilted back and forth by changing the height of the connecting portion 6 between the front and rear columns 2 and tilting the left and right girder frames 3 back and forth. For example, when the installation location of the pergola type awning is inclined, the awning sheet 4 can be inclined in accordance with the inclination of the ground.

  In the above description, the awning frame 18 is hung under the left and right girder frames 3 by the slide means 17, but it may not be hung. For example, the awning frame 18 may be supported at the same height as the left and right girder frames 3 and at a position higher than the left and right girder frames 3. The height of the awning sheet 4 can be increased by increasing the support position of the awning frame 18.

  In the above description, the rope 35 is manually operated. However, an actuator such as an electric motor may be provided to electrically operate the rope 35.

  In the above description, the concave portion 10 is provided on the column 2 and the convex portion 9 is provided on the girder frame 3. Conversely, the concave portion 10 is provided on the column frame 3 and the convex portion 9 is provided on the column 2. May be. That is, in the above description, the concave portion 10 is a component of the connecting portion 6, but the convex portion 9 may be a constituent element of the connecting portion 6 instead of the concave portion 10. Also in this case, the girder frame 3 can be connected to the connecting portion 6 of the support column 2 by fitting the convex portion 9 into the concave portion 10 and fixing it with the fixing means 11.

  Furthermore, in the above description, the lighting device is provided in the awning frame 18, but the lighting device may not be provided. A cross section of the awning frame 18 in this case is shown in FIG.
