Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug 3, 19315.
Application filed September 17, 1914. Serial No. 882,174.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MoRRIs DOWLIN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Henniker, in the county of Merrimack and State of New Hampshire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Awning-Fixtures, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My improvements relate to awnings for windows or other openings and more particularly to awning frames and the fixtures by which said frames are held to the casing, jamb or other part of a building or structure surrounding and adjacent to said win dow or other opening.
The primary object of the invention is to provide an improved awning frame and fixture of few and simple parts which may be made and sold at low cost and by means of which awnings may be securely held in position with relation to the window or other opening, and quickly and easily put in place or removed from said opening with out the use or assistance of any tool what- I portedupon a U-shaped frame member or soever.
Another ob1ect of the invention is to provide awning fixtures of a simple and com-- pact nature and. which are not only easily secured in position, but which are practically noiseless in all conditions of wind or weather.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and combination of parts hereinafter more fully described and claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a window fitted with an awning indicating the use of my improvement; Fig. 2- is a perspective view of the bail supporting the lower portion of the awning; and Figs. 3 and at are respectively front and side views of one of the bail supporting brackets.
The several parts of the device may be made of any suitable materials, and the relative sizes and proportions, as well as the general design of the mechanism, may be varied to a considerable extent without departing from the spirit of the invention hereinafter more fully described and specifically claimed.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, I show at 15 the outer face of a window frame, and by the term window I would be understood as covering broadly any space or opening to be fitted or awning.
As usual, the awning proper or cover comprises a rectangular inclined portion 16 and two triangular side members 1'7, and the upper and lower portions of the canopy are secured by several sets of brackets and metallic members connected thereto.
In the setting up of an awning, among the essentials of a practical and satisfactory set of fixtures are case and quickness of operation in connecting or disconnecting the awning and the facility for manipulation of the awning from inside of the window in the event of use upon windows which are high from the ground.
For the upper end of the awning I provide any suitable brackets 18 and 19 with wh ch cooperates a sustaining rod 20, these devices preferably being of the nature set forth in full and claimed in my co-pending application for awning fixture filed April 19, 1915, Serial No. 21,274.
The lower portion of the awning is supprotected with an bail 23 which lies in a substantially horizontal plane when the awning is in normal open position. This bail member is secured permanently and firmly to the lower portion of the awning members 16 and 17 in a manner substantially similar to the means for connecting the upper end of the awning to the rod 20. The ends of the bail 23 are turned outwardly from each other, as shown at 24:, forming short feet arranged rectangularly with respect to the side members of the bail and which constitute the trunnions around which the bail swings upwardly in closing or lifting the awning. Any suitable means may be provided for quickly and reliably securing the bail to the window frame 15. The bail may be swung upwardly, when desired, without detaching it from the window by any ordinary means such as cords and pulleys (not shown), but because of the ease and facility with which my fixtures may be manipulated, it is possible and expedient for the awning to be removed at any time so as to protect it from the weather, and hence it is not necessary in all cases to require the use of special cords and pulleys for manipulating the awning.
The means I prefer to use for supporting the bail 23 consists of a pair of brackets 25 of the form shown best in Figs. 3 and 4.. These brackets are rights and lefts but oth-' I erwise are exactly alike, each comprising a is to hold the bail base 26 adapted to be secured permanently and firmly to the outer face of the window frame by screws or the like, 27. -Each bracket is provided with an ear 28 extending in a vertical plane along one edge of the base 26 and provided with a transverse hole 29. Along the opposite side of the base is a guard 30 having a notch 31 in its lower edge, the diameter of the notch being substantially the same as that of the hole 29 and arranged coaXially therewith. The space between the ear 28 and guard 30 of each bracket is preferably slightly largerthan the diameter of the material of the bail which ordinarily is made of rod metal of uniform diameter, and of a size to correspond to the diameter of the holes and notches above described. The side bars of the bail, or the parts adJacent the feet 24:, are normally parallel, and spaced equal to the distancebetween centers of the brackets. The first step in putting up an awning with its feet upward, the main portion of the bail being extended downwardly parallel to the front of the window as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 4. In this position the end of either foot may be passed freelv along the notch 31 of one bracket and through the adjacent hole 29. By springing inwardly, then, upon the other side of thebail, the other foot may be introduced into its bracket. At this time the bail will be supported through the feet upon the ears 28 of these two brackets, and the bail will be free to swing upwardly, the side legs of which will come in the spaces between the guards and ears.
I claim:
1. In a device of the character set forth, the combination with an awning and means to sustain the upper portion of the awning in definite position, of means to secure the Copies of this patent may be obtained for trunnion,
- of two subscribing five cents Washington, I). 0.
bottom of the awning in apivotal relation to'thewindow frame, said bottom supporting means comprising a bail having side members and. each side member having a foot turned laterally from the same at a substantially right angle and constituting a and a pair of brackets constituting fixed bearings for said feet, each-bracket being provided with an ear and a guard arranged in parallel vertical planes, the ear having a transverse hole and the guard having a notch coaxial with the hole, the angularly turned foot of each side member of the bail being adapted to bear in said ear hole and held in position from lateral displacement by the guard.
2. In a device of the character set forth, the combination with an awning and means to connect the top of the awning in definite position but permitting the awning to be lowered for detachment, of means for supporting the lower portion of the awning permitting the same to be swung upwardly toward the top supporting devices, said bottom supporting means comprising a bail having side members terminating in angularly and laterally turned feet forming coaxial trunnions around which the bail is adapted to swing, and a pair of brackets constituting supports for said feet, said brackets having vertical ears through which said feet project and each bracket being provided with a guard to maintain the adjacent foot in bearing connection with its ear but permitting the free disengagement therewith when the bail is swung below its normal horizontal position, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to thisspecification in the presence witnesses.
