F. A. ANTON Q AWNING" ARM SUPPORT Filecj oct 27, 1930 Patented Aug. 18, 1931 UNITED STATES FREDERICK A. ANTON, OF TOPEKA, KANSAS;
AWNING ARM surronr Application filedOctober 2'7, 1930. Serial No. 491,456.,
This invention relates to awning supports and more especially to that class embracing lateral folding arms carrying brackets adj ustable to vary the pitch or inclination of the '5 awning fabric when in spread or operative position.
My primary objective in this connection, is the simplification and minimization of cost in the construction of supports of the character mentioned, without sacrifice of efiiciency and ease of operation.
To this end the invention consists in certain novel and useful features of construction and organization of parts as hereinafter'described and claimed; and'in order that it may be fully understood reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which:-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the hanger and adjusting bracket for carrying a lateral 2o arm, the cap member for coperative adjustment action with said bracket; and the nut for engagement with the bracket and screw; said parts being disclosed in detached relation except the screw and hanger whichare '25 shown together as a unit.
Figure 2 is a fragmental central vertical section, with all of the parts in assembled relation.
Figure 3 is a horizontal section on the dotted line III-III of Figure 2, but with certain parts in elevation, and showing certain bendable lugs of the hanger in open position before they have been bentv down for securing the screw permanently to the hanger.
Referring to' the drawings in detail, 1 indicates a hanger having a central upper suspension bolt-hole 2 and a pair of lower side openings 3 for the reception of bolts; not shown, for clamping the hanger against side shifting when the hanger has been set in the exact position desired, against a store front or on the transom bar thereof now commonly found in modern business buildings having large plate glass display windows and tran- 4 5 som lights above the windows.
The hanger is substantially L-shaped in side view, and is formed at its front end with a horizontal transversely disposed tubular head 4 and a chamber 5 underlying the head,
; the side walls of the chamber having arcuate slots 6, substantially concentric with respect tothe head, and the front wall of the chamber is formed with a forwardly-projecting nose 7 containing a rounded cavity or socket 8 communicating with the chamber 5. i The nose is provided with a series of laterally-spaced lips or extensions 9, which initially project straightforward as shown by Figure 3, and are later bent to a forwardly converging relation as shown best in Figure 2.
A bolt 10 isarranged within the chamber 5, and has a bolt-head 11 engaging and having limited rotary movement within the socket, the bolt being fitted in the operative position mentioned when the lips 9 are disposed as in Figure 3, and the connection is fixed or made permanent when the lips are bent inward to the position shown byFigures 1 and 2. The lips can be so disposed by driving them in with a hammer or any other suitable tool, and to enable one to rotate the bolt, the head is preferably provided with an angular socket 12 for the reception of a suitable wrench or the like. A nut 13 inserted in chamber 5, as the bolt is initially placed in position, is threaded on said bolt through the rotation of the latter, and then v the bolt is permanently secured, as ex plained, by the bending or crimping of the lips upon the head 11. The nut is provided with laterally-projecting pins 14 at opposite sides for a purpose hereinafter explained;
A bracket '14 for carrying a conventional foldable lateral arm (not shown) for the awnlng, not shown, fits against one end of the tubular head 4, and has the customary upper and lower perforated ears 16 and '17 for the reception of thepivot-bolt, notshown, on which the inner end of the foldable arm is secured. Thebracket also has a circular boss 18 fitting in'the head 4:, and a hollow conical projection 19, the bore or passage of the/projection extending. as customary, though not shown herein,through the body of' the bracket, and the projection isequipped with one or more external ribs 20. The bracket also has a tubular projection 21 projecting, when the bracket is in position, through the adjacent slot 6 of the hanger, and the boss 22 of said projection preferably extends through the body of the bracket, as clearly disclosed in Figure 3, and pivotally receives one of the pins 14 of nut 13.
A cap 23 fits against and closes the opposite end of the head 4:, and like the bracket 15, has a circular boss fitting snugly in the head, and also has a conical projection 25 which fits over the conical projection 19, and said projection 25 has one or more notches 26 receiving the inner ends of ribs 20 so that the bracket and cap shall be interlocked together as regards rotative movement. The cap is also provided with a tubularrprojection 27 projecting through the adjacent slot 6 into chamber 5, and provided with a bore or passage 28, extending through the cap and axially alined with the bore or passage of the bracket projection 21, when the bracket and. cap are interlocked together, said bore orpassage 28 pivotally receiving the adjacent pin 14-0fnut 13. V I
Y The bracket andcap are secured in place by a bolt 29, which as customary, extends axially through the head 4, when the parts are in assembled relation, as described with respect to the other conventional parts of the awning, but before the bracket and cap are tightly clamped upon the head, the bolt 10 is operated to effect travel of the nut 13 thereon and consequent concurrent turning movement of the bracket and cap. This action disposes the bracket so that the foldable lat eral arm shall give the desired downward pitch or inclination to the awning when in spread or operation position. After the de sired adjustment is thus obtained, the bolt 29 is utilized as a precautionary measure, to clamp the bracket and cap in rigid relation tothe hanger, so that it shall be impossiblefor the awning adjustment to be changed unless the clamping action of the bolt v29 is first relaxed sufficiently to permit ready turning movement of the adjustment screw.
From the above description, it will be ap-- parent that I have produced an awning support embodying the features of merit and advantage set forth in the statement ofthe object of the invention, and which is susceptible of modification within the spirit and scope of the invention and without the ambit of the priorart. 3
I claim V a 1. An awning support having a transversely extending tubular head and a socket, a
screw underlying the tubular head cross-wise,
of the longitudinal axis thereof, and provided with a rounded head engaging said socket, a bracket and collar engaging and held at opposite ends of the hanger head and rotatably adjustable thereon and provided with alined sockets, and a nut mounted on the screw and provided with oppositely-proj ecting pins engaging said last-mentioned sockets. r
2. An awning support having a transversely extending head and a forwardly projecting hollow nose provided with bendable lips, a screw underlying the head and provided at its front end with a rounded head fitting rotatably in said hollow nose, the lips of the nose, when the screw head is socketed therein, converging inwardly upon said screw head to retain it permanently in place, a bracket and cap fitted rotatably upon opposite ends of the hanger head and provided with alined openings at opposite sides of the screw, and a nut on the screw, provided with oppositely-p-rojecting pins respectively engaging the openings of the bracket and cap. 4
3, An awning support having a transversely extending head and a forwardly projecting hollow nose provided with bendable lips, a screw underlying the head and provided at its front end with a rounded head fitting rotatably in said hollow nose, the lips of the nose, when the screw headis socketed therein, converging inwardly upon said screw head to retain it permanently in place, a bracket and cap fitted rotatably upon opposite ends of the hanger head and provided with alined openings at opposite sides of the screw, anut on the screw, provided with oppositely-projecting pins respectively engaging the openings of the bracket and cap, and means for securing the bracket and cap rigidly on the hanger head to prevent rotation of said elements by the screw.
4. In anawning support, a hanger having a head provided with a forwardly-projecting nose having a'rounded socket open at both ends, the'nose having bendable forwardlyprojecting lips, means mounted on the head for rotary adjustment, a screw swivelled in the said socket and retained therein by said lips, and a nut upon the screw and provided with oppositely-projecting pins pivotally connected to said rotatable means eccentri cally of the aXis thereon.
5. In an awning support, a hanger having a forwardly-projecting hollow nose, the bore of the nose at its rearend'being of less diam-' eter than at anintermediate point of the bore,
