C. E, WEIBLEY n ROPE GUIDE FOR AwNING Filed Sept- 22. 1924 Patented Oct. 6, 1925.l
NITE!)v VsTA'lEs CHARLES E. WEIBLEY, OF HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
ROPE GUIDE non AWNINGS.
Application filed September 22, 1924. Serial No. 739,217.
To all Iwhom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, CHARLESl E. WEIBLEY,
` a citizen of the United States, residing at Harrisburg, in the county. of Dauphin and State of Pennsylvania, have invented ce1'- tain new and useful Improvements in Rope Guides for Awnings, of which the following is a specilication. f
This is an invention in rope guides for awnings of the outside rigging type, and it consists of two main p-arts pivoted together, .one adapted for attachment to the aiming, and the other carrying a pulley and pi voted thereto.
The real object of the invention is to provide a pulley that will yield readily to the movements of the rope and compensate for anyK lack of alignment where. two or more are used upon the. awning as a guide per rope. When thus constructed, they also compensate for any pulling and stretching ofthe awning, which is 'apt to take place with the different positions it takes as between the raised or lowered positionv of the awning.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a'view4 in perspective;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional View; l
Fig. 3 is a side view partly in section;
Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the fastening clip;
Fig. 5 is a top plan View of the base frame; and a f Fig. 6 is an endview of the clip.
The numeral 1 represents 'a base-plate.
This is preferably made of sheet-metal cut in suitable proportions and having lugs 2 bent up from either side and provided with slots 3 at each end. The pulley frame is also preferably made of light sheet-metal and comprises the sides 4 and the flange-s 5', which are bent downwardly and embrace the -lugs 2, to which they are pivotally attached by means of the pin or rivet 6. The pulley 7 turns on a pin 8 in the usual fashion.
A clip 9, preferably of sheet-metal, has the sharpened spurs 10 cut therefrom and bent upwardly as shown in Fig. 6.
In assembling the device, the base is placed upon the awning k11 in the osition desired,
and the clip is placed there neath, and the V spurs are inserted through the fabric and through the slots 3, and bent to one iside, preferably upwardly, as shown in Fig. 2, thus providing a simple and effective means for fastening the pulley frame in position on the awning. The cord 12 passes beneath the pulley in the usual ymanner of the outside rigging type of awning pulley.
A pulley thus mounted has many advantages over the rigid type. The principal advantage is that it gives or yields laterally with the rope, and automatically Valigns itself withthe rope when it is under tension, thus providing for any lack of exact alignment in the placing of the pulley on the awning, and for laterally pulling, stretching or drawing of the awning, which is almost` certain to take place in the average awning in the different positions it is required to take in raising and lowering the awnin'gas well as.
stretching it over its frame.
By my invention, in an effective way, the disadvantages are overcome by the adoption of simple and inexpensive mechanism.
' I claim j l. A rope guide for awnings, including a awning, upstanding lugs and a frame made of a single piece of sheet metal and including sides and flanges, which latter are pivoted to the lugs, and a pulley rotatably connected with thevsides forming a closed space throughwhich a cord or rope is adapted to pass and be confined, whereby the rope or cord is freely engaged by the pulley irrespective ofthe vaccurate placement of. the base and fastening means. V
2. The combination with a base-plate having upturned opposite/ly located side lugs and provided with openings at its ends, a pulley franie having sides and flanges turned in opposite'directions, a pin for pivoting the flanges tothe lugs, a pulley rotatably supported by thesides, a clip having vspurs adapted to extend through the fabric of an awning into the openings of the base,
and to have its ends bent laterally, whereby to fasten-the base-plate to the awning.
In testimon whereof I aiix m HARLES E. IB E Y.
i base, means of fastening the base tothe si ature. c
