AWNING.
Specification of Letters Patent.
iatentcd Apr. 1?, 1917.
Application filed September 25, 1916. Serial No. 121,913.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES J. TRUEMPER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county yof Marion and State of Indiana, have invented a new `and useful Awning, of which the following is a specification.
Itis the object of my invention to provide an awning which will not catch and holdl water when either raised or lowered, which gives a maximum of space beneath it, yas for the opening of swinging windows, and which is provided with an end piece for keeping ,out oblique sun :ra-ys, which end piece will not interfere with the rolling up of Vthe main body of the awning.
The accompanying drawing illustrates my invention. Figure 1 is a perspective view of a building equipped with my improved water-shedding awning, with the .awning lowered; F ig. 2 is a similar view with the awning raised; Fig. 3 is a partial similar view showing the end piece construction, which is not shown in Figs. 1 and 2; and Fig. i is a detail of the mounting for the arms.
/Vhen the awning is lowered, as shown in Fig. 1, the arms 17 swingcutward by gravity to the .extent permitted by the chains 19, and the cross bar 18 holds up the fabric sheet 10 at an intermediate point, to give the awning a Mansard shape, as clear from Figs. 1 and 3. As a result of this Mansard shape, the intermediate part of the awning cannot sag, to form a 'pocket for water, so that the awning will not catch and retain water, as an ordinary awning will. Thus the deterioration of the fabric from the holding of the water is avoided. Moreover, the Mansard sha-pe gives more head room beneath the awning, so that if it is lover swing; ing doors or windows 20 such doors or windows may be swung outward without interference from the awning. Then the fabric sheet 10 is rolled up on the roller 11, the arms 15 `engage the arms v17 and carry -them up to the position shown in Fig. `2, the arms 17 being slightly shorter than the arms 15 so that when the awning is thus rolled up the arms 17 and cross bar 18 are out of the way, as clear from Fig. 2.
1n order to keep out oblique sun rays, w'thout interfering with the rolling up of the fabric sheet 10' on the roller 11, l provide an end piece 25 of the same shape as the open space at the end of the `awning when the awning is lowered, as clear from Fig. 3, the front upper edge of this end piece 25 having the same hfansard shape as has the awning itself when lowered. IThe rear edge of this end piece 25 is suitably attached to the house wall, as on the bracketsll and 16 out-side the arms 15 and 17 and at its front upper edge is provided with an inwardly projecting fabric strip or flange 26, which underlies the edge of the main fabric sheet 10 when the awning is lowered, and is attached to the cross bars 1i and 1S. By reason of this attachment to the cross bar 18, the chains 19 may be dispensed with when the cnd pieces 25 are used, as the strips 26 act as flexible tension members for limiting the movement 0f the cross bar 8 and arms 17. The end piece 25 and the strip or fiange 26 are separate from the main fabric sheet 10, save `at the cross bar 14 and below it, so that when the awning is lowered the edge of the malin fabric sheet 10 may overlie `the strip or fiange 26 to provide a sun-.tight joint, but when the awning is raised.. the separateness of the main sheet 10 from the strip 26 permits the former to be rolled up 0n lthe roller 11 without interference from the end piece 25 or strip 26.
I claim as my invention:
1. An awning, comprising a fabric sheet, a roller to which the upper edge of suela sheet is attached so that the awning can be rolled up, a cross bar near the lower edge of said sheet, pivoted arms on which said cross bar is mounted, a second cross bar beneath the sheet and free therefrom, pivoted arms carrying said second cross bar so that when the awning is lowered the second cross bar engages the fabric strip at an intermediate point to give it a Mansard shape, and fieXible tension members attached to the arms carrying said second cross bar for limiting its downward movement.
2. An awning, comprising a fabric sheet7 a roller to which the upper edge of such sheet is attached so that the awning can be rolled up, a cross bar near the lower edge of said sheet, pivoted arms on which said cross bar is mounted, a second cross bar beneath the lsheet and free therefrom, pivoted arms carrying said second cross bar so that when the awning is lowered the second cross bar engages the fabric strip at an intermediate point to give it a Mansard shape, and means for preventing said second cross bar from swinging downward beyond said intermediate point.
3. An awning, comprising a fabric sheet, a roller to which the upper edge of such sheet is attached so that the awning can be rolled up, a cross bar near the lower edge of said sheet, pivoted arms on which said cross bar is mounted, a second cross bar beneath the sheet and free therefrom, pivoted arms carrying said second cross bar so that when the awning is lowered the second cross bar engages the fabric strip at an intermediate point to give it a Mansard shape, and means for preventing said second cross bar from swinging downward beyondfsaid intermediate point, the pivotal points of the arms carrying the second cross bar being higher than the pivotal points of the arms carrying the first cross bar.
4. An awning, comprising a fabric sheet, a roller to which the upper edge of such sheet is attached so that the awning can be rolled up, a cross bar near the lower edge of said sheet, pivoted arms on which said cross bar is mounted, a second cross bar beneath the sheet and free therefrom, pivoted arms carrying said second cross bar so that when the awning is lowered the second cross bar engages the fabric strip at an intermediate point to give it a Mansard shape, and means for preventing said second cross bar from swinging downward beyond said intermediate point, the arms carrying the second cross bar being shorter than and pivoted at higher points than are the arms carrying the first cross bar.
