Definitions

  • the present specification relates to a Utility Model concerning a portable folding awning, with a novel system for closing up and folding out, the clear purpose of which is to obtain a product with superb features, which enables proper securing and positioning of all its elements and is highly reliable during its useful life, in addition to the simplification of the set-up and subsequent maintenance in tasks of changing out each and every one of its elements.
  • This invention is applicable within the industry of manufacturing awnings, sunshades and parasols for the beach, the countryside, terraces or gardens, street markets, and even for pavement cafés, where they are very typical, comprising the manufacture of accessories thereof.
  • the portable folding awning proposed by the invention constitutes, in and of itself, a clear solution to the currently existing problem in the field, as it may be incorporated with a simple mechanism for set-up and opening thereof, thus improving upon the usefulness and appearance of the existing products on the market, within the sector at hand, providing shelter in its immediate surroundings, safety, and protecting all of its elements, both inside and out, without adversely affecting subsequent performance and achieving necessary safety conditions, likewise being subject to the corresponding regulations, all of which is based on a product with a simple system and a simplified operating concept.
  • the folding system is very simple, as one need only fold the collapsible sides and hide them out of sight between the frames of the rigid upper sides when joining the two together.
  • the telescopic posts are closed up, to fold them to the bottom of each of the frames of the rigid upper sides and, in the case of the arms, they are folded on top of each of the frames of the rigid upper sides over their top portion, thus reducing the entire system to a small-sized rectangular-shaped block wrapped in the tarpaulins, since during folding and by means of a cord situated in the centre of the central tarpaulin, they are left out of the folding of the awning, enabling the tarpaulin to be folded over the top of the assembly.
  • the indicated system has standard measurements like the conventional sunshades with which everyone is familiar, this makes it possible to adapt and fit them to all sorts of places when positioning them. The same is true even in terms of transport, as it is reduced, inside its bag, to a short longitudinal rectangular shape, providing unique features and an improved appearance, not just of the elements at the individual level, but also for the surroundings in which they are located.
  • FIG. 1 Shows a perspective view of the awning or sunshade when partially open, wherein one may observe the main elements and their location upon the frames.
  • FIG. 2 Shows a profile view of an upper frame in cross-section, with one collapsible side folded out, the stud thereof and the tensioning element of the post.
  • FIG. 3 Shows a perspective view of the ball-and-socket joint of the extended arms.
  • FIG. 4 Shows a perspective view of the assembly when partially folded up, to be placed upon its box.
  • FIG. 5 Shows a perspective view of the awning when open with each side at a different height and with the tarpaulins in place, wherein one may observe the overall appearance.
  • FIG. 5 an awning or sunshade ( FIG. 5 ), formed by two frames ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) on the inner sides of which there is an equal number of arms ( 3 ) and ( 4 ) that fold like scissors and are hinged by means of a hinge ( 5 ) which, when extended with the help of the tensioning elements ( 6 ), forms a rectangle, under the frames ( 1 ) and ( 2 ).
  • a hinge 5
  • four telescopic tubes fold out in pairs, with several height positions ( 7 ) and partially incline outwards with the help of the tensioning elements ( 8 ), and serve as posts and structural supports.
  • another four longitudinal tubes ( 9 ) may be folded out as a continuation of the frames at the sides ( 10 ) thereof, upon which they swing and are positioned at 90° or 45° to the perpendicular, remaining secured by each of the corresponding studs ( 11 ).
  • the tarpaulin ( 12 ) situated upon the upper structure is fixed thereto by small longitudinal strips of Velcro ( 13 ), and when closing it up, from the central tarpaulin there protrudes a cord ( 14 ) which, upon folding the sides, penetrates and passes through the holes ( 15 ) and ( 16 ) to close up the assembly ( FIG. 4 ) more comfortably upon the box ( 17 ) and tie it up with the strap ( 18 ).
  • the materials, shape, size and arrangement of the elements shall be subject to variation, so long as said variation does not entail an alteration to the essence of the invention.
