NITED STATES SAMUEL HOFFMAN DAVIS, OF ALFRED CENTRE, NEW YORK.
AWNING-BLIND.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 546,759, dated September 24, 1895.
Application filed September 4, 1894. Serial No. 522,099. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, SAMUEL HOFFMAN DAVIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Alfred Centre, in the county of Allegany and State, of New York, have invented a new and useful Awning-Blind, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in awning-blinds.
The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of awning-blinds and to provide an exceedingly simple and efficient one which may be readily secured at the desired adjustment, and which when in operation and extended will form a complete awning.
A further object of the invention is to provide such an awning-blind which will be capable of compactly folding and of presenting when folded the appearance of an ordinary blind.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of an awning-blind constructed in accordance with this invention and shown arranged to form an awning. Fig. 2 is a Vertical sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a similar view, the parts being folded. Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view illustrating a modification of the fastening device, the'parts being arranged. as illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view illustrating the construction of the recesses of the stationary frame and showing the parts folded therein. Fig. 6 is a diagrammatic view of the blank from which the folding sides of the awnin are constructed. 1
Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
1 designates a stationary frame located at a window and having connected to its top by hinges 2 an outwardly-swinging shutter-carryin g frame 3, which is adapted to be arranged at an inclination, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings, to form an awning for shading the window. The outwardly-swinging frame is rectangular, and
opened similar to the ordinary construction of shutters. The shutters are secured when closed by bolts 6, arranged on the inner faces of the shutters and located at the bottom thereof and passing through perforations 7 of the bottom of the rectangular frame and fitting in sockets 8 of an inclined sill 9. By this construction the devices for fastening the shutters when closed are also employed for locking the outwardly swinging shutterframe.
' The awning-blind is provided at each side of it with a folding bellows-shaped side 9, which has its longitudinal edges secured in any suitable manner, preferably detachably, to the inner face of the shutter-carrying frame and to the stationary window-frame, which is provided with vertical recesses to receive the same when folded. These recesses 10 are located at opposite sides of the window-frame and receive the folding bellows-shaped sides 9 which may be constructed of any suitable material, and which coact with the shuttercarrying frame and shutters to form a complete awning. The outer longitudinal edge of the bellows-shaped side 9 extends the entire length of the shutter-carrying frame, and its lower edge is horizontal when the frame 3 is swung outward at an inclination to form an awning, whereby an unobstructed view is afforded and a neat and attractive awning is provided.
The blank from which the bellows-shaped sides are formed has straight parallel side edges, a straight top edge arranged at right angles to the side edges, and a concavelycurved lower edge inclining downward and outward, the outer portion depending and extending below the lower terminal of the inner edge.
The shutter-carrying frame is supported at the desired adjustment by adj ustable braces 11, located at each side of the Window and each composed of adjustable sections 12, having their outer terminals hinged to the shutter-carrying frame and to thewindow-frame, and having their inner ends slidingly connected by means of sleeves 18. The adjustable sections are provided with perforations. They are automatic in their operation, and as the shutter-carrying frame is swung outward they slide on each other to accommodate the brace to the distance between the shutter-carrying frame and the window-frame, and they fold automatically when the awning is folded. The adjustable brace is arranged at an inclination when the shuttercarrying frame is swung outward to form an awning, and the upper end of the brace is pivoted or hinged to the shutter-carrying frame at a point above the place of hinging of its lower end, the vertical distance between the points of hinging being greater than the length of one of the sections of the brace when the shutter-carrying frame is in a vertical position. After the shuttercarrying frame has been swung outward to the desired position the sections of the braces are locked against inward movement by detachable pins 14, fitting in perforations of the sections. The adjustable braces, besides locking the frame 3 when swung outward, serve as the means for securing the said frame 3 when the awning is folded and the shutters are swung open in the ordinary manner.
Instead of employing the automatically-adjustable braces the swinging frame may be secured by means of a brace 15, hinged to the shutter-carrying frame and provided with a series of elongated openings 16, adapted to be engaged by a pivot button or pin 17, having a head conforming to the configuration of the elongated openings and adapted to pass through any one of them when turned longitudinally thereof and designed to be arranged transversely of the openings for locking the brace rigidly in position. The recesses 10 of the windowframe receive the inner sections of the adjustable braces when the parts are folded, in order to enable the shutter-frame to be compactly arranged against the window frame.
It will be seen that the awning-blind is simple and comparatively inexpensive in construction; that it is adapted to be arranged to form a complete awning, and that it is readily secured at the desired adjustment. It will also be seen that the parts are compactly arranged when folded.
Changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this in Vention.
\Vhat I claim is 1. The combination of a window frame, an outwardly swinging shutter carrying frame, hinged at its top to the window frame, and the automatically folding bellows-shaped sides connected with the outwardly swinging frame and the window frame, each bellows-shaped side being formed of a blank having a straight upper edge, parallel side edges, and a concavely curved lower edge forming a depending outer portion, whereby the bellows-shaped sides will have straight horizontal edges when the shutter carrying frame is arranged to form an awning, substantially as described.
2. The combination of a window frame, the outwardly swinging shutter carrying frame, and the automatically folding brace, composed of two sections having their inner ends slidingly connected with each other and having their outer ends hinged respectively to the shutter carrying frame and the window frame, the vertical distance between the points of hinging of the ends of the brace being greater than the length of a section of the brace, sub stantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
