UNITED STATES PATENT (DEEIoEo HENRY sYKEs, on NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN AWNINGS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 150,910, dated May 12, 1874; application tiled December 26, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY SYKEs, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Awnings, and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and eXact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, in which drawlg- Figure l represents a transverse section of my invention when the awning is let down.
Y Fig. 2 is a similar section when the awning is folded ready to be rolled up. Fig. 3 is an inside view of the same when the awning is folded ready to be rolled up.
Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.
This invention consists in the combination of a cord and springroller with the hinged frame and the canvas of an awning composed of a central part and side wings, in such a manner that the cord which winds on the roller, together with the awning, serves to unroll the awning and to lower the frame, and, when the frame has been lowered, the side wings of the awning are hooked into eyes fastened in the window-frame, and they serve to retain the awning against the tension of the spring in the roller.
In the drawing, the letter A designates a window-frame, of any desired size or shape. On the outside of this frame are secured two staples or eyes, a a, which form the bearings for the frame B of the awning C, said frame being constructed of iron bars, which are united in any suitable manner. The awning C consists of theV central part b and the side wings c c, and the central part b is secured, at or near its lower end, to the front cross-bar of the frame B, while its upper end is ati tached to a spring-roller, D, that is mounted in brackets E secured to the top-bar of the Window-frame, as shown.
When the spring in the roller D is wound up, it has a tendency to take up the awning to the position shown in Fig. 2; but when said roller is turned against the action of its spring the awning is unwound therefrom and brought in the position shown in Figs. l and 3. For the purpose of turning the springroller against the action of its spring, a cord, F, is used which winds on said roller in the same direction in which the awning is wound up thereon, so that, when both the cord and the awning are wound up, as shown in Fig. 2, the awning can be lowered simply by pulling the cord.
Before the awning is taken in, the side Wings c o are folded inward, as shown in Fig. 3, and secured in position by hooks and eyes, or any other suitable fastenings, so that the whole will wind up evenly on the roller D.
When the awning is to be lowered the cord F is pulled out and secured in the position shown in Fig. 3. Then the side wings of the awning o c are unfolded and hooked into sta` ples c e secured in the inside of the windowframe, (see Fig. 1,) and, by releasing the cord F, the awning assumes the desired position, being retained against the strain of the spring in the roller D bythe hooks on its side wings.
Instead of fastening the spring-roller D in brackets over the window, it might be secured to the front cross-bar of the awning-frame B, and in this case the tension of the spring in said roller will be so regulated that the weight of the roller and of the awning will be sufficient to cause the awning to unwind from the roller when the same is left to follow its gravity; but when the frame B is raised, by means of one or more cords extending from it over rollers secured in the top of the window-frame, the spring-roller takes up the awning autom at ically.
In either of the cases above described the spring-roller D materially facilitates the operation of lowering and raising the awning 5 and my invention will be found to be of great advantage for awnings of anyV size.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination of a cord, F, spring-rollers D, hinged frame B, and awning composed of a central part, b, and side wings c c, substan tially as shown and described.
This specification signed by me this 23d day of December, 1873.
