AUTOMATIC COVER FOR AWNINGS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 758,016, dated April 19, 1904:.
Application filed June 29, 1903.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM R. MUDD, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton, in the State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Automatic Covers for Awnings, of whichthe following is a full,clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of my specification.
My invention relates to awning-covers of the class intended to be applied to awnings over doors or windows, and is applicable to any kind of an awning, either the ordinary roller-awning or the shade roller-awning.
The object of my invention is to provide a covering for an awning which will entirely inclose it when rolled up and protect it from dirt, weather, the It is automatic in its action and requires no attention, as the simple rolling up of the awning boxes and houses it, and no manipulation by the operator of the awning-cover itself is necessary. It is simple and cheap in construction and operation and may be applied to old awnings without taking them down for the purpose.
The various advantages of my invention will appear more fully as I proceed with my specification.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of an awning partially unrolled with my improved awning-cover in place. Fig. 2 is a section through the awning-cover when the awning-roll is housed. Fig. 3 is a section through the same, showing the awning-roll about to leave or about to enter the housing or cover. Fig. 4 is a section similar to Fig. 2 of a modification of my improved awningcover.
My improved awning-cover consists of a fixed portion A, forming the back and the bottom, and a pivotally-movable portion B, forming the top, front, and ends, of the cover. The back A is attached to the wall of the house or building C in any convenient manner and is provided with a substantially horizontal offset D near its upper edge. The portion A is preferably made of sheet metal and is bent at an angle at the lower end, so as Serial No. 163,639. (No model.)
to be on the awning-rails (where awning-rails are used) to form the bottom a. The offset D is formed by simply bending the metal upon itself. The cover B is preferably curved in cross-section and is provided at its lower forward edge with the upwardly-curved edge I), so that when the awning-roll strikes it it may be readily raised thereby. The upper edge of the cover is provided with a straight vertical portion 6", which is rolled over along its upper edge to form a volute b, by means of which the cover is hinged to the wall. The cover B is provided with end flanges E,
which protect the end of the awning, the two portions A and B, with the end flanges E, thus completely covering in and boxing the awning-roller.
It is apparent that when the awning is lowered and the roll allowed to run down its guides its weight bearing against the awningcover will raise it and will thus be permitted to roll freely down the full length of its guides. On the other hand, when the awning is rolled up the roll will strike the upturned edge 6 and raise the cover and permit the roll to enter within the awning-box again. The horizontal offset D protects the hinge of the pivoted cover from moisture or rain and thereby prevents rust and prolongs the life of the cover.
Of course the portions Aand B of the cover may have any convenient shape in cross-section, depending upon the character of the awning to which the cover is applied, For example, in, the case of a shade roll-awning both the top and the bottom of the cover would be curved, as seen in Fig. 4, the bottom portion in this case being curved, as seen at A, in order to accommodate the shape and position of the roller. In some cases also it is preferable to make the fixed portion A in two parts a and (d, so as to permit of their easy attachment to awnings which are already in place. In such cases the portion a, is prefer- 7 pletelyinclosing the same when rolled up,
comprising a stationary member and a pivoted member, the stationary member forming the back and bottom of the cover and the pivoted member forming the ends and lid of the cover, said pivoted member being hinged along its upper edge and being provided at its lower edge with an upwardly-curved portion, substantially as and for the purpose described.
3. An automatic cover for awnings adapted to entirely close the same when rolled up, comprising a fixed member and the hinged cover, the fixed member forming the back and bottom and being provided with a substantially horizontal ofi'set located above the hinge of the cover, and the hinged cover provided with end flanges, substantially as and for the purpose described.
4. An automatic cover for awnings adapted to entirely close the same when rolled up, comprising a fixed member and a pivoted cover, the fixed member forming the back and bottom and being provided with a substantially horizontal offset located above the'hinge of the cover, the cover being hinged along its upper edge and being curved at its lower edge, substantially as described. i
