posed in operative or inoperative position:
independently of each other. v
A further object of the invention is to provide an awning of the class described which is arranged to be manipulated from the inner side of a wall on which it is mounted. v
The invention possesses other objects and features of advantage,jsome of which with 2 theforegoing, will beset forth in the following description of the p'referredform'of the invention 'whichis illustratedin the drawings accompanying and forming part of the I specification. It isto be understood, .how-' ever that variations in'the showing made by the said drawings and description mayibe adopted within the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims. v 1
Referring to said drawings,
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the awning of myinvention mounted on a wall' and operatively disposed.
Figure 2 is an end view. of .the showing' of Figure 1, the wall beingshown in section.
Figure 3 is a view'similar to Figure 2showing a modified form of theinventionlas herein particularly disclosed, the awning 6. of my invention is particularly arranged for mounting onfth'e outer side of a wall 7 of a building whereby it may provide 1; a shade for a window8. The awning struc-' I ture comprises a roller9 suitably mounted on the wall'above the windowopeni ng and arrangedto have the awning roof member rolled thereon when'the awning is not in use; Fixed at ,theouter, or free, edge of the sheet 11 is a member 12, such member extending the full width of the sheetand serving as a supporting and stifl'ening member for from the 'ground,'asin dwellings." M
sheet 11 it would be. rendered inoperative the sheet edge. Means are provided for projecting themember 12 outwardly of the wall whereby the sheet 11 may be operatively disposed, and as here shown, such means comprises a pair of struts or arms 13 pivoted to the wall at one end and having their other ends fixed to the member 12. When as is here shown, the arms 13 are pivoted to the wall below the roller 9, the'appfropriate outwardswinging thereofwill dispose the "sheet 11. in operative position to providejtheawning roof, such roof preferablyslop'in'g downwardly from the wall Means are preferably provided for fixedly holding the awning operatively disposed and at the same time maintaining the sheet ll tightly stretched; Accordingly, the roller 9 is of the spring roller type and at least one of the arms 13 has a bevel gear llmounted on an end of a pivot pin 15'fixed thereto. Mounted in the wall to extend transversely therethrough is a crank shaft 16provided with a crankl-T at the-inner end thereof and a bevel'gear 18 at its outer end disposed to operatively engage the gear 14. "The arms are arranged to be held in set position in any suitable -manner, as by thecooperating pawl 19 and ratchet 20 mounted respectively on the wall'and crank shaft. In thismanner,
the arms 13 may be manipulated from the so inner side of thefwall to be disposedeand held in any desired angular relation to the wall, it being noted that-the spring roller 9 functions to hold the sheet llproperly taut at all times andtocompletely roll it up as the arms- 13 are swung upwardly against th'e Wall.
And it will be further noted that the'provision for the manipulation of thelawning from the inside of the wall thus provided is particularly valuable in connection With awning installations for windows spaced Fixed to the side-edges of the sheet 113 are wing members21,- such members being. here 11. here shown as a sheet of flexible material,
shown arranged .to be disposed generally" vertically whereby theyimay cooperate' with the roof portion ofthe awning in provid ng the desired shade. It will-now be noted that if a wing 21 be disposed against a face of the and, furthermore, may be rolled up on roller 9 with such sheet. Means are accordingly provided for disposing each of the Wings fiat against the sheet 11, and as here shown, such means comprises a spring roller 22 mounted on the member 12 and having a cord or line 23 wound therearound andattached to a wing at a point thereof spaced from its edge of attachment to sheet 11 whereby the wing will be resiliently urged to maintain a position against the undei side of the sheetinthe present embodiment the wings are generally triangular and the line 23 is attached adjacent the free apex 2a of the .wing.
Preferably, and as here shown, a roller 22 .is provided. for each of; the wings, whereby the positioning of the wingsmaybe indepenldentlyeffected. In order to properly dis- ;.posethe wings against the sheet and at the same time permit the rolling up of the wings therewith, the lines 23 preferably extend from the rollers 22' through a. floating pulley or deadeye; 26 carried at the outer end of a stirrup27 extending. from the roller 9 and arranged to be rolled therearound as the awn- ;ing' is. furled. It will now ture permits. and at the same time resiliently I resists.;the,disposition of the wings to form .o-perative partsofthe awning. =-As here shown, ,linesfe29;are-utilized in'dispesing the wings in idesiredposition, such lines being run from the..w,ing tipsQL to, the inner side of the wall through appropriately positionedconduits 31 gprovided-ii-nethe wall. In this manner the positiou-ingof the wings may also be readily .Ceifeotedrfroma the inner {side .of the wall, it -.being noted-that releaseof thelines 29 to permit-theiw-ings to assume their normal po- -=sitionagainst the inner faces of the sheet 11 :is necessary before the awning; can be furled. Since, in usual installations, theroller 9 extends outwardly of the wall surface, the ww-ing: edge 32 which is arranged'to be disnosed;alongthewall surface is preferably formed to parallel the wall-and is cut away at its upper end to clear the roller 9. To
insure-a properpositioning of-such edge along 7 r .the wall-when the wing. is operatively disnposed, .aaflat normally straight flexible meur ,ber :33. is secured. to the wing, such member extending. from, the upper end 34 of the edge :;26'.into: the' wing in generallyparallel relation to the wing edge which engages the awning r ofz'memberill. "The member 33 is deadeye stirrup 27' is fixed to the member 12,
.1thegarrangement'being, otherwise substantial- .I ly thesame=as before.
WhileEIhave herein particularly disclosed level and adjacent a common corner, the
wings of their awnings nearest to said corner might abut or overlap, thereby providing, in effect, a continuous awning for the two windows at such corner. Furthermore, the wings .and sheet are preferably attached only at spaced points 36:along their line of contact, thus providing vents between the wings and sheet to facilitate the escape of air'from beneath the awning whereby the building up of excessive wind pressures beneath the awning may be prevented.
I claim:
1. In combination with a shade awning for an opening through a wall, a wing member 7 fixed to said sheet along a side edge thereof, be clear that the; present struca spring roller, a line connecting said wing to said roller whereby said wing will be resiliently urged-to maintain an inoperative positiomagainst a face of said sheet when the sheet is extended, and means at the inside of said wall operable to dispose and hold said wing in operativeposition whenthe sheet is extended.
2'. In a rollerawning, a swinging U-shaped frame/adapted to bepivotally attached to a .wall, a roller adapted for attachment to said wall, a fabric sheet secured at one end to said roller, and at its other end to. said frame, a
pair of angular fabric, side wings secured to sa1d fabrlc sheet, a spring roller carried byand between the sides ofv sa1d U-shaped frame. a stirrup secured to the fabric sheet near the inner end thereof, a cord secured to said spring roller and extended through said stirrup and then through an opening in the lower corner of one of said flaps, said cords adapted to hold said flap in either an opera tive or inoperative position.
3. In a roller awning,.a U-shaped swinging frame, a roller, a sheet of fabric secured atone end to the rollerand at its other end to .saidframe, a side wing secured to an edge sheet near the roller, a spring roller carried.
by said frame and a cord associated with said spring roller through said stirrup and said wing and providing for holding said flap in either an operative or inoperative position.
In testimonywhereof. I have hereunto set :my hand at Oakland, California, this 29th day of-February. 1927.
