AWNING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 501,932, dated July 25, 1893. Application filed April 7, 1893- Serial No. 469,424- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES GLAWE, of Dayton, county of Montgomery, State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Awnings; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in awnings; the improvements are specifically confined to the supporting frame of the wings or side curtains.

The object of the invention is to construct a wing support for gear-winding awnings that will fold neatly and properly with the roof as the latter is wound up. To this end my improvements consist of a folding wing that regulates itself with the rest of the awning. The-wing canvas is separate from the main body of the awning so that they are operated independently of each other.

The simplicity of the device and its manifest usefulness speak for themselves to those familiar with the art to which it appertains.

The drawings herewith accompanying and forming a supplement to the specification illustrate my invention; the same reference characters thereon refer to the same parts in the several views in which- Figure 1, is a perspective view of an awning, partly broken away to reveal the characteristics of my invention; Fig. 2, a side elevation showing the wing partly closed or elevated-the canvas removed; Fig. 3, a similar view showing the wing closed.

The letter A represents the roof awning supported on a frame of well known construction and adapted to be wound upon the circular rod a, by the crank b, operating upon gearing between said crank, vertical rod 0,

and rod a, all of which are well known fea-,

tures, and are shown for the purpose of illustrating my improvement only.

' d represents the upper folding rod of suitable diameter, pivoted to a bracket 6, secured at a convenient point on the side of the door or window.

f indicates the lower or second folding rod which together with rod (1, has a pivotal connection with the sliding lever g, as at h; the lower end of rod f is pivoted to a sliding 1ever t', which is pivoted to the horizontal drop rod m, of the roof by a toggle joint n.

o and 0' represent brackets secured vertically to the side of the building adjacent to the window, onv which sliding sleeves p and p are placed; to these sliding-sleeves, the levers g and '5 are pivoted. Pins (1 q are placed in the brackets beneath the sleeves p and p, when the wing is lowered, as seen in Fig. 1, to maintain the slide levers iand gin operative position. To hoist the wing, these pins are removed and said levers thereby permitted to take the vertical position shown in Fig. 3. The wing D is provided with a flap D that projects laterally beneath the roof awning so as to close the opening that would otherwise appear. These flaps are maintained in a supporting position by plates q g, which are rigidly attached to folding rods (1 and f. The operation of the device is manifest. When the roof awning is hoisted by turning the crank b, the rods oZ-and f bend at the joint h; by removing thepins q q, the sliding levers are permitted to slide down the brackets to the position seen in Fig. 3, which shows the wing closed.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In an awning, the combination with the roof and its supporting frame, of a folding wing adapted to inclose the ends of said roof, provided with laterally and inwardly projecting flaps D, the folding rods cl and f with the laterally projecting plates q q fixed thereto, upon which the flaps D are supported, the sliding levers g and i pivoted to said folding rods, and the vertical brackets o and 0, substantially as described.

2. In an awning, the herein described wing 5 consisting of the folding rod (1 pivoted to the bracket (2, and the folding rod f which together with folding rod 01 have pivotal connection with sliding levers g and i, the latter the wing is lowered, substantially as herein IO described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set lever having a pivotal connection with fold my hand this 29th day of March, 1893.
