Description
zmww C. E. FRIESNER AWNING DEVICE Nov. 5, 1935.
Filed Oct. 12, 1934 Patented Nov. 5, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE AWNING DEVICE Application October 12, 1934, Serial No. 748,006
1 Claim.
The primary object of the invention is to provide an awning device which is of simple, economical and rugged construction, and which is positive in action as well as relatively noiseless 5 in operation.
A further object is to produce a new and improved awning device having the novel features of construction, arrangement and operation hereinafter described.
in For purposes of illustration, but not of limitation, an embodiment of the invention is shown on the accompanying drawing, in which:
The figure is a perspective view of the awning device as mounted on a window screen frame.
The illustrated embodiment of the invention comprises a frame I for a screen II, in this instance of a size suitable for a window. Mounted in the upper end of the frame are brackets I2 and I3 to receive opposite ends of an awning 20 roller I4 on which an awning I5 is adapted to be wound. The awning extends downwardly in a plane substantially parallel with the plane of the frame I0 and underneath a substantially U- shaped guide I6, which extends transversely of 5 the frame l0 and is secured thereto. The lower end portion of the awning has a pocket I"! to receive a U-shaped supporting element l8 which is of metal, the opposite ends of which are twisted and incline upwardly to provide guide portions 30 I9. The portions [9 are provided with elongate slots 20 respectively and are adapted to ride along guide rods 2| which are attached to the frame In and extend outwardly therefrom.
The twisted portions are at substantially 90 35 to the plane of the sides of the arms of the strip l8, and are bent at substantially the point of twisting so that their sides lie in a plane at approximately obtuse angles to the aforesaid plane. Moreover, the points of twisting are located in 40 close juxtaposition to the inner ends of the slots to afford stub-like free terminals, with the inner ends of the slots alined with the upper side edges of the arms of the U-shape strip I8.
In order to raise or wind up the awning IS a 45 cord 25 has one end fixed to a sheave 22 on one end of the awning roller and extends through a guide eye 26 and then through an opening 26' to the inside of the frame where it may be secured in any suitable manner so that the awning can be manipulated from the inside of the window. It is to be understood that by pulling on the cord 25 the frame I8 first swings about the pivots provided by the portions 20 of the frame part 18. Thereafter when the frame [8 has as- 5 sumed a substantially vertical position it can move upwardly until the awning is completely wound. on the roller it. By releasing the cord 25 the weight of the frame part l8 causes it to move downwardly and swing of its own weight into the desired position.
From the above description it will be seen that I have provided an exceptionally inexpensive awning device which can be readily and conveniently mounted in position of use. such as the guide It and the frame part l8, may be of scrap metal, so that the cost is kept very low. The provision of mounting the awning on a screen frame enables the awning to be mounted in place at the same time the screen is put up, thereby eliminating the trouble and annoyance heretofore experienced in putting up and taking down devices of this character.
It is to be understood that changes in details of construction, arrangement and choice of materials may be effected without departing from the spirit of the invention, especially as defined in the appended claim.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: 30 In an awning, a vertically disposed guide rod on each side of the awning, and an integral U- shaped metal strip set on edge and secured to the lower end of the awning, the ends of the strip being each free and twisted at about 90 and bent at substantially the point of twisting so that their sides lie in a plane at substantially obtuse angles to the plane of the sides of the strip and being slotted to receive the guide rods, the points of twisting being located in close juxtaposition to the inner ends of the slots to provide stub-like free terminals with the inner ends of the slots alined with the upper side edges of the arms of the U-shaped strip so that in movement to closed. position the arms of the U-shaped strip will lie closely adjacent to the guide rods with their side edges confronting the rods and substantially parallel thereto.
CHARLES E. FRIESNER.
