w. ,1. SMITH March 5, 1 946.-
AWNING Filed Au 16, 1944 INVEN TOR.
m 5 1 w m .M .m M m Patented Mar. ,5, 1946 William I. Smith, Perrysb The Hettrick Manufacturing Company,
urg, Ohio, assignor to Toledo,
Ohio, a corporation of Ohio Application August 16, 1944, Serial No. 549,644 2. Claims. (01. 160-57) This invention relates to awnings and an object is to produce a new and improved awning, one or more walls of which are at least partially formed of foraminous'material such as relatively close woven screening primarily to afford ventilation to the under portion of the awning.
Another object is to produce an awning, the walls of which are of canvas-like material except for screening material attached to the adjacent canvas portion by a sewed seam with the view of affording light and air to the under portion of the awning.
A further object is to produce an awning of the above character at least a portion of one wall of which is formed with foraminous material such as a plastic screen of sufliciently small mesh to repel rain but through which may pass light and air.
Embodiments of the invention are shown in the accompanying drawing by way of illustration and in such drawing:
Figure l is a front perspective view of an awning the side walls of which are provided with a strip of screen material;
Figure 2 is a fragmentary front perspective view in which the side walls are formed with a triangular insert of screen material;
Figure 3 is a fragmentary front perspective view in which the entire side walls except for the valance are formed of screen material;
Figure 4 is a side elevation of an awning showing the side wall thereof formed with a series of alternating vertical strips of screen and canvaslike material; and e I Figure 5 is a fragmentary front perspective view of an awning, the sloping front wall of which is formed with a strip of screen material.
Referring to Figure l of the drawing, the awning comprises a sloping front wall 10 and generally triangular shaped side walls II which are connected to the sloping side edges of the front 7 wall. Depending from the front wall In and each of the side walls H are valances I2. The top edge of the front wall I!) is formed with the usual horizontal pocket l3 containing the stiffening member (not shown) and grommets M are adapted to be slipped over connections! 5 for supporting the awning in position of use. In this instance, the front wall ill on the valances I! are of textile fabric such as canvas or canvas-like material. The side wall II is formed of a triangular section l6 also of canvas-like material and the sloping upper edge ofthe section l6 which is spaced from and parallel with the side edge portion of the sloping front wall IB, has an interposed section I! of relatively fine mesh screening preferably of plastic'strands of reasonable flexibility and suitably colored for the purpose. vas-like section I6 by a sewed seam l8 and to the edge portion of the sloping front wall I!) by a sewed seam l9.
It will be manifest that the screen I! not only affords ventilation to the under side of the awning but also affords light thereto. The screen mesh should be sufilciently fine to act as a rain repellant so that except for a hard driving rain directly against the screen, water will not enter the under portion of the awning. It will be understoodthat the opposite side wall is similarly formed and detail description and illustration thereof is not considered necessary.
In Figure 2, the side wall Ina is similarly formed of canvas-like material and the section Ilia of each side wall Ha is formed adjacent the upper portion with a screen section l'la which is attached to the adjacent portions of the wall section Ilia and the sloping front wall Illa by sewed seams. V
In the form shown in Figure 3, the sloping front wall lllb is likewise of canvas material and in this instance each side wall Hb is formed entirely of screen material similar to that above described. However, the valance IZbis of canvas-like material similar to that above described. v
Referring to Figure 4, the top wall lllc is of canvas-like material and each side wall I lc is formed of alternating screen sections 11c and canvas-like sections I which are arranged vertically and thereby somewhat increase the screen area of the side walls. The vertical sections lfic and Ho are attached to each other by sewed seams and are in turn screened to the top wall by a sewed seam. The valance |2c is of canvas-like 'material and may be secured in place by a sewed seam.
In the form shown in Figure 5, the sloping front wall llld has a lower canvas-like section 20 to which the valance I 2d is suitably attached. The upper portion or section 2| of the front wall Illd is formed by a horizontal strip of screen material attached to the section 20 by a sewed seam, and to a strip 22 at the upper edge which contains the attaching grommets Md and the pock- V et l3d for the reenforcing or stiffening rod. In this instance, the side walls I I d are of canvas-like material and are suitably'attached at their upper edge portions to the front wall Hid.
It will be observed that in each of the forms above described, foraminous or screen material The screen cover I! is attached to the canforms at least a portion of one of the walls thereby to afford light and ventilation to the under side of the awning. In this manner, an outstanding objection to the use of awnings is obviated since not only does the awning protect the associated window from the hot rays of the sun, but at the same time it enables additional light to enter and also to enable air to pass through and circulate, under l-the :lawning, addingtto the ,de-- sired qualities of th'eawning. "Thescreen material such, for example, as a plastic screen, lends itself readily to use in this connection and by employing sewn seams, the awning can be produced with existing machinery ordinarily used in the awning manufacture.
It is to be understood that changes or "detailsof construction and choice of materials may be effected without departing from-thmspiritofrthe' invention especially as defined in the appended claims.
