GEORGE H. BANCRFT, 0F PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA. Letters Patent No. 64,399, dated fay 7, 1867.
IMPROVEMENT IN AWNINGS.
@La tigehnle referto tu in tinte cttcrs iatent mit mating .gait ai tige time,
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY GONGERN:
Beit known that LGEORGE H. BANCROFT, of the city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsyl- Vania, have invented new and improved mechanism to he applied to Awnings; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawing7 and te the letters of reference marked thereon.
My invention consists in fixing a ratchet-Wheel to each end of the roller around which an awning is rolled; in using detente to prevent the ratchets from recoiling, as usual, the said detents being provided with lifting cords for clearing them from the ratehets. Instead of using n. cord aixed to the loose end of the awning, to prevent its splitting at the seams and ravelling, I employ a met-allie rod, round which the end of the awning is bound. I also make use of" metallic hooks for securing the'vawningto the cross-1ail otn the awning-posts, attaching them either to the metallic rod or to the awning. 0n reference to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of' this specification- Figure is a. plan View.
Figure 2 is a side elevation; and
Figure 3 is a front elevation.
Similar letters refer to similar parts in the several views.
A is an awning ofthe usual pattern, winding round the roller B (shown in iig. I, the roof` of the ledge being partly broken) under the yledge G. A ratchet-wheel, D, is iixed nt each end of the roller outside of the brackets of the ledge. a a are detente, their ends taking into the teeth of the ratchcbwheels to prevent ihein from recoiling; they vibrate on pins or studs fixed to the brackets. I1 b are lifting cords, one end being attached to the dctents. The cords pass through rings or staples in the front of' the house, above the ledge, and extend down to a convenient point for reaching from the sidewalk. When the detcnts are to be cleared fromv the ratchets it is silhply necessary to pull down on the cords, and they rise clear of the teeth of the ratchet, and are kept free by placing the rings c e" on the ends of the corde over the knobs 0l d. To prevent the loose end of the awning from ravelling, the seamsfrom opening, and also to provide a strong base on which to fasten the ropes which attach the awning to the eross-bar of the awning-posts, a cord is sewed on the end, or insome cases the end of the awning is wrapped around it. This cord or filler does not answer the end for which it is intended. It has not sulhcient rigidity to resist the pressure of the ropes that connect the awning with the cross-bar of the awning-posts, and the edge of an awning in a. short time becomes waved and its surface corrugated. To obvizlte these objections, I employ a metallic rod, e, which is fixed to the end of the awning in n convenient manner. Being oi' metal and rigid, the strain of the tie-ropes comes evenly on the awning, and not in lines, as is the case of the cord. I also use metallic hooks ff, Sac., in place of tie-ropes, as ai'ording greater facilities for handling an awning and increasing its durability. The metal of the cross-bar rots the material of iie-ropes in 1. short time. "When an awning is to be 1olled in the detcnts must be first lifted. It is then loosened by rotating the roller B in a contrary direction by the lever g.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
Thc ratcl1et-whcel D, detentsa a', cords b metallic rod e, and the metallic hooksffj", etc., when i billed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose herein specified and described.
In testimony whereof I hereunto sign my name to this specification in presence of two subscribing witnesses. GEORGE ll". BANCROFI',
