To all whom it may concern:
1 Be it known that I, .EDWINGRAY, a citizen of the United States, residing in'Maplewood, county of St..Louis, and State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful lVeather-Shield for Spring-Shade Awnings, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a weather-shield adapted to be carried-by the upperedge of a spring 7 as to rest just above the awning whenthe awningis in its rolled position to protect the same from the weather thereby greatly reducing deterioration thereto due to water or snow standing thereon and sun shining thereon when not in use.
A further object of my invention is to provide the awning with a weather-shield to protect the awning from the weather so that the awning need not be taken down and stored away for the winter.
With the above and other objects 1n vlew, the shield consists in the novelconstruction described inv the specification and finally pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
Referring to the accompanylng drawlngs forming a part of the'specification, wherein like characters of reference denote s1m1lar parts throughout the several views:
Figure 1, 1s a view in perspective of a spring shade awning applied to a window, and provided with a weathershield constructed and carried by the awning in accordance with my invention. I i
Fig. 2, is a perspective view of the weathershield, clearly showing the rear portlon thereof and the manner of securing same to the upper edge of a spring-shade awning.
, Fig. 3, 1s a side elevation of the-weathershield as applied to the awning and shown in its lowermost position acting as a protection or weather-proof shield for the awning when in its rolled position.
Referring to the drawings, the reference character 1 designates a window frame upon which a spring-shade awning roller 2 is carried adjacent the meeting rails of the window-by means of the brackets 3. The awning carried thereby is divided into two sections,namely the lower awning section): and the upper awning section 5 having the upper looped carry the filler stick 7. The lower end of this type of awning is also looped and hemmed as at 8 and adapted to receive the cross-pieces 9 of the supporting arms 10 carshade awningand adapted to be so and hemmed edge 6 adapted to Specification of Lette r's ratent.

ried at their lower ends in the pivoted socketsll.
In carrying out the aim of my invention I employ a' suitable shapedv weather-shield comprising a back plate 12 which'isadapted to be fixed to the upper edge of the'awning section 5 by means of suitable fastening eans, such asscrews 13 which are adapted to enter the wood filler-strip 7 for securely holding the plate 12 in position. The backplate 12 is preferably provided with the cutaway portion 1 1- to permit the operating cord to be attached to the filler-strip 7.
' The back-plate 12 is bent at a substantially From the foregoing description, it will be observed that I provide an efficient weathershield for the awning when in its rolled position and one which moves with the upper section 5 of the awning when shifted from one position to another. 7
It will be readily seen that when the awning is in its rolled position as shown in Fig. 3, which is the position it assumes when not 1n use for shade, that the weathershield fully covers or spans the-rolled awnings from above, and positively prevents rain or snow from accumulating thereon and also prevents the sun from shining directly thereon, this protecting the awning from all weather-conditions which results in protecting the awning from unnecessary exposure from above and preventing unnc'essary deterioration of the awning even though it remains fixed to the window frame all year around.
As the greatest damage to the cloth of an awning' is caused by'water and snow standing thereon which causes the clothto rot, and weaken in streaks or spaces, it will be observed that my improved weather: shield will eliminate the exposureiof the awning to these fatal conditions, when rolled, and provide an elfectlve protection therefor from ram, snow and sun-shlne.
The many advantages ofthe herein described weather-shield due to its construction and method of application tothe awn will be readily apparent to those skilled 1 111g in the art to which the invention relates.
While I have described the structure of device I now consider to be the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it clearly understood that the shield shown is merely illustrative and that I reserve the right to make any changes or modifications thereof as may fairly fall'within the principle of my invention and within the scope of the claims hereto appended when fairly construed.
What I claim is:
1. In combination with a spring-shade awning, a weather shield. comprising a plate having a portion thereof adapted to be secured to the upper edge of the awning so as to move therewith, saidplate being bent to provide a forwradly extending shield adapted to protect the awning from the weather when in its rolledup position.
2. In combination with a spring-shade awning, a weather shield comprising a plate adapted to be secured to the upper edge of the awning so as to move therewith, said plate having a forwardly extending shield portion terminating in a suitably curved vforward edge to provide a positive waterdrip, said shield portionadapted to cover the awning when the awning is in its rolled up position to provide an effective weathercurved forward edge to provide an effective.
water-drip.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name to the specification.
