Application filed teptem'ber 2, 1920. serial No. M7318.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that FRANK 0. lsAAosoN and EDWARD B. LEnrRoM, citizens of the United States of America, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Wyandotte and State of Kansaahave invented new and useful l[m provements in Window Awnings, of which the following is a specification.

The object o-fthe invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive and efficient awning suitable for window and door openings,

' which shall have an increased durability-in use as well as economical in construction and maintenance as compared with awnings as in' the usual practice which employ canwas or awning cloth as the covering material, and furthermore to provide an awning of such construction as to adapt it, without .de-

' terioration to be allowed to remain in position permanently as distinguished from those structures .now in use which are removed or dismounted during the winter season andwhich, therefore, aresubject to frequent handling in hanging and removing which serves to shorten the term of usefulness thereafter; and with these objects in view theinvention consists in the construction and combination of parts of which a.

preferred embodiment is shown in the draw: mg wherem:

igure 1 is a view of the awning applied in the operative position to a window opening,.the same being illustrated in its extend ed. condition. m,-

lFigure 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same.

Figure 3. is a detail view of one of the awning sections or members.

The device consists essentially of a lu rality of telescoping sector-shaped sections or members embod ing the marginal memhers- 10 and 11 an any desired number of intermediate sections or members 12, having the side wings 13 connected by common pivots 14, the marginal section 10 being adapted for rigid attachment by means of nails, screws or like fastening devices 15 to the casing 16 of the window or door. The

sections are. provided respectively at their inner or'rear edges with the outwardly directed flanges 17 and at their outer edges with the inwardly directedflanges 18 to the end that the outwardly directed flange 17 of each intermediate and the free marginal sections 12 and 11 are adapted for engagement with the inwardly directed'fla nges 18 of the adjoining sections or members, when the awning is extended to limit the relative movements thereof as will be obvious by reference to Figures 1 and 2. The outwardly directed flange 17 of the rear or station+ ary section or member being secured to the fixed support or casing of the window or door serves when the foldable sections or members are extended to maintain the awning in its operatlve position and said fixed section ormember forms a housing for the foldable sections or members when the latter are collapsed or telescoped, such folding or telescoping movement being effected by means of operating cords 19 extending over a double pulley 20 at one side of the structure and a single pulley 21 at the opposite side thereof, the extremities of said'cords' being secured to lugs 22 on the outer marginal section or member 11, which together with the intermediate sections is provided on the front ed es of the side wings with flanges 23. In t e foldin operation flanges 23' onxthe marginal 'sectlon '11 engage the corresponding flanges on thenext succeed- "ing intermediate section and so on until all the sections are moved into telescoping position within the marginal section 10. I

Each section or member is adapted to be struck from the single blank of sheet metal such as galvanized iron or the equivalent 'thereof which may be painted or otherwise coated as a protection from the. water, to prevent rusting and the like, and the downward inclination of the transverse portion of the marginal orjhousing section or member 10 toward its outer edge serves to form a water shed when the awning is folded to protect the sections .or members which are housed therein.

Having described the invention, what we 1 claim as new and useful is:

A metallic. awning consisting of a plu rality of telescoping sector-shaped sections ward edge of the transverse portions, the

- wardly extending flanges of the wardly extending 1 maintain the 10 lower marginal mediate sections being formed with outflanges on the side wings edges of the latter, the intransverse portions engaghig the outwardly flanges of ad acent transverse portions to awning in extended position,

at the forward the flanges on the side wings engaging the section and all the 'inter- -f extended may be raised into forward 15
