NITED STATES PATENT FFIcE.
GUSTAVUS S. PERKINS, OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT.
AWNING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 231,728, dated August 31, I880.
Application filed May 28,1880. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GUSTAVUS S. PERKINS, of Hartford, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Awnings; and I do hereby declare-that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, whereby a person skilled in the art can make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
Like letters in the figures indicate the same parts.
Myinvention relates chiefly to awnings which are placed over windows and doors having arched tops, and which are generally made round at the front, to be adapted to the shape of the opening when the awning is raised.
Such awnings are commonly made suffi-, cient-ly long to reach down to the lower part of the window, so as to keep out the slanting raysof the sun,and thelower part of the frame is made to slide upward when the awning is raised or folded, being drawn up by means of pulleys and cords attached to the frame.
These awnings have heretofore been made so as to hang in a straightlinefromthe crown of the arch to the outer edge of the lower bow of the frame, and with long awnings, where the lower bow is considerably below the spring of the arch, there has always been a portion, which comes opposite the spring of the arch when the awningis down, that cannot be drawn completely up to the crown of the arch of the opening when the awning is raised.
The object of my invention is to obviate this difficulty. It also gives more air-space and better ventilation under the awning.
In the accom anying drawings, which illustrate my invention,Figure I shows a perspective view of my improved awning attached to a window. Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the middle, showing the half of the frame beyond. A
Ais the cloth of the awning. B is the lower bow of. the frame. It is jointed at its inner ends to slides which move up and down upon the guides C. Cis one of the guides, of which there are two, one attached at each side of the window-casing in the usualmanner. The
cloth of the awning is also commonly attached to rings, which also slide upon these guides. The upper part of the awningcloth is attached by rings and staples to the window-frame.
D is an additional bow, which I place in my improved awning for the purpose of enlarging and setting out the part of the cloth which comes opposite the arch, so that when the awning is folded up no part of the cloth will come below the top of the arched opening, and thus partially close it, as is now done by the awnings in use. The bowD is hinged to each side of the window-frame above the guides C,
atabout the height of the spring of thearch,
so that when it is folded upward it will reach to the top of the opening. The awning is thus practically divided into two parts, A and A, theformer of which folds up between the bows B and D, and the latter between thebow D and the top of the arch of the window. By this means the part of the cloth which comes at the upper end of the awning has suftic-ient amplitude to reach above the arch of the window when the awning is folded up and out of the way.
The materials of the awning and frame are of the same kind as ordinarily used. It is also raised and operated in the samei manner, by cords and pulleys passing from the lower part of the frame upward over suitable pulleys and uniting upon one side of the window-casin g, so that they can be drawn down to raise the awning.
What I claim as my invention is- 1. In around-top awning, the su iiplementary bow D, whereby the upper part is projected outward and enlarged, so that when the awn in g is raised orfolded all parts will come above the top of the arch of the window or other opening to which the awning is applied, substantially as described.
2. In a window-awning, the combination of the bow D, adapted to be hinged to the window-casing, with the sliding bow B, the guides C, and the cloth cover A A, substantially as described.
GUSTAVUS S. PERKINS.
