Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/596,991, filed Oct. 9, 2019, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/743,043, filed Oct. 9, 2018, the entire contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference.
- (NOT APPLICABLE)
- The invention relates to an extendable awning and, more particularly, to a lateral arm actuator for an extendable awning that incorporates a gas spring.
- Extendable awnings have various applications including, for example, in a marine environment where an extendable awning may serve to provide shade or the like for an area of a boat cabin that is typically uncovered. Existing lateral arm awnings typically use a traction gas spring or the like attaching the center joint with the joint closest to the awning fastening mount. This requires multiple actuating cables/straps/chains, etc. for various arm lengths. Additionally, the use of traction gas shocks results in higher costs for parts and manufacturing.
- The lateral arm actuator of the described embodiments utilizes a self-contained extension gas shock/spring that connects to the center arm joint. The assembly utilizes only one cable/strap/chain length required for any length awning arm.
- In an exemplary embodiment, a lateral arm actuator for an extendable awning includes a gas spring with a cylinder and a rod that is displaceable relative to the cylinder, a fitting disposed at a distal end of the rod, and an awning knuckle including a first connector coupled to a cylinder end of the gas spring, a second connector, and a pivot coupled between the first and second connectors. The second connector is pivotable relative to the first connector, and the second connector includes a hook. A cable formed into a continuous loop is positioned over the fitting, along the gas spring, and across the awning knuckle engaging the hook.
- The rod may be biased toward an extended position. The fitting may include a groove, where the cable may be disposed in the groove. The cable may be inelastic. The second connector may be pivotable relative to the first connector across about 165°.
- In another exemplary embodiment, an extendable awning assembly includes a motorized roller, an extension bar, an awning secured between the motorized roller and the extension bar, and an extension arm assembly coupled with the extension bar. The extension arm assembly includes a first pivot arm pivotably connected to a second pivot arm and the lateral arm actuator of the described embodiments disposed between the first and second pivot arms. The first pivot arm is secured to the first connector of the lateral arm actuator assembly, and the second pivot arm is secured to the second connector of the lateral arm actuator assembly.
- The extendable awning assembly may include at least two extension arm assemblies acting on the extension bar. The assembly may further include a pair of base support brackets attachable to a structure, where the motorized roller is connected between the base support brackets. The first pivot arms of each of the extension arm assemblies may be pivotably connected to a respective one of the base support brackets.
- With the rod biased toward an extended position, the extendable awning assembly may be configured such that the awning in a stowed position maintains the extension arm assembly in a retracted position against the bias of the rod. The extendable awning assembly may be further configured such that activation of the motorized roller in a first direction releases the awning, and the extension arm assembly is displaced toward an extended position by the bias of the rod. The extendable awning assembly may be further configured such that activation of the motorized roller in a second direction opposite from the first direction draws the awning toward the retracted position against the bias of the rod.
- These and other aspects and advantages will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows an extendable awning assembly with an extension arm assembly including the lateral arm actuator of the described embodiments; -
FIG. 2 shows the extendable awning assembly in a retracted position; -
FIG. 3 shows first and second pivot arms connecting to the lateral arm actuator; -
FIG. 4 shows the extendable awning assembly in an extended position; and -
FIGS. 5 and 6 are views of the lateral arm actuator. -
FIG. 1 shows an extendable awning assembly being displaced to an extended position over a boat cabin. Theawning assembly 10 is retractable into ahousing 12 forming part of a static boat enclosure or the like. Theextendable awning assembly 10 includes anextension bar 14, anawning 16 and an extension arm assembly 18 (two shown) cooperable with theextension bar 14. -
FIG. 2 shows theextension awning assembly 10 without theawning 16. A pair ofbase support brackets 20 are securable to a structure such as the boat enclosure or the like, and aconnector bar 22 extends between thebase support brackets 20. A motorizedroller 24 is rotatably secured between thebase support brackets 20. Theawning 16 is connected between themotorized roller 24 and theextension bar 14. - The
extendable awning assembly 10 is shown with twoextension arm assemblies 18. Theawning assembly 10 could have more than two arms. Each of theextension arm assemblies 18 includes afirst pivot arm 26 pivotably connected to asecond pivot arm 28 via alateral arm actuator 30 disposed between the first andsecond pivot arms FIGS. 3, 5 and 6 , thelateral arm actuator 30 includes anawning knuckle 32 with afirst connector 34, asecond connector 36, and apivot 38 coupled between the first andsecond connectors second connectors FIG. 3 , thefirst pivot arm 26 is securable to thefirst connector 34, and thesecond pivot arm 28 is securable to thesecond connector 36. - As shown in
FIGS. 5 and 6 , thelateral arm actuator 30 includes agas spring 40 with acylinder 42 and arod 44 that is displaceable relative to thecylinder 42. In some embodiments, thegas spring 40 is a compression spring such that therod 44 is biased toward an extended position relative to thecylinder 42. Thefirst connector 34 of theawning knuckle 32 is connected to a cylinder end of thegas spring 40. As shown inFIG. 5 , thesecond connector 36 of theawning knuckle 32 is provided with ahook 46. Acable 48 formed into a continuous loop is positioned over afitting 50 disposed at a distal end of therod 44. In some embodiments, thecable 48 is positioned in agroove 52 formed in the fitting 50. Thecable 48 is positioned over the fitting 50, along the gas spring and across theawning knuckle 32 engaging thehook 46. In some embodiments, the cable is inelastic. An exemplary cable may be a high strength UHMW (ultra high molecular weight) braided rope, for example, the Dyneema rope manufactured by DSM Corporation. The breaking strength of the Dyneema rope is equivalent or better than that of stainless steel rope. In alternative embodiments, a stainless steel or other metal cable could be used. - In use, the assembly creates a torque about the
awning knuckle 32 via the extension bias of therod 44, which biases theextension arm assembly 18 toward the open position shown inFIG. 4 . That is, with the awning in a stowed position, theextension arm assembly 18 is maintained in the retracted position against the bias of thegas spring 40. Activation of themotorized roller 24 in an extension direction releases the awning, and theextension arm assembly 18 is displaced toward the extended position by the bias of thegas spring 40. - Activation of the
motorized roller 24 in a retraction direction, opposite from the extension direction, draws the awning toward the retracted position against the bias of thegas spring 40. As the first andsecond pivot arms awning knuckle 32, thegas spring 40 compresses while creating an outward biased torque on theawning knuckle 32. Thearms pivot 38 due to the tension of the awning. As themotorized roller 24 is wound towards the retracted position, tension increases within the fabric large enough to overcome the torque of theawning knuckle 32. This causes thepivot arms - The use of an extension gas shock, as opposed to a traction gas shock, allows for larger forces to be generated for a given gas shock diameter. Also, there is a cost reduction and availability advantage associated with the extension gas shock over the traction gas shock.
- While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiments, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
