Abstract

Folding telescopic double awning, the base of which is formed by two horizontal parallel modules (1) containing two roller-blind-type roller awnings that can be extended upwards, and provided with upper telescopic arms (4, 5) at both ends, said arms being joined at the base thereof by a tubular structure (2) having angled ends (3) where the arms (4, 5) are hinged to a shaft (8) for the purpose of folding. The upper ends of the arms (4, 5) are provided with sections for securing the bars of the roller blinds. All of the elements are joined by a plate or support allowing same to be secured to planters. The system provides protection against the sun, wind and rain in the form of a single device, in which it is possible to extend one of the roller blinds on its own or both simultaneously. In addition, it can be transported once folded.

Description

Double folding telescopic awning

The invention relates to a solar, wind and rain control system composed of two compact modules (same as utility model No. U201500307, which is present after this utility model), arranged in horizontal parallel, of

reverse vertical drive (they extend from the bottom up) in which two roller awnings, sstores type are housed, having on the upper part on both sides of the compact modules, telescopic and folding arms connected together by one tubular structure, finished at both ends at angles, as an elbow, and in turn all the elements joined by a plate or support, unifying the whole set forming a pack, (the metallic elements that

they compose the pack, preferably of aluminum material) and thus be able to carry out the installation and collection, in an agile and comfortable way. Remaining the pack once folded, with very small dimensions, can be transported comfortably, by a single person.

It should be noted that with this system, called double folding telescopic awning, the control of wind, rain and sun is unified, all in the same compact, in addition to controlling the climatic elements described, jointly or separately, through blinds (preferably operated by spring), but most importantly, the action of winding and unwinding from the bottom to the top, acting advantageously by example; when the deployed arms are available (with the inner telescopic arms, without extending) and the two blinds attached to these arms, it is possible to control the wind, the rain and the sun of the terraces, in the area of the tables, without losing the luminosity, or visibility, since it is recommended that the blind on the outside of the terrace be (preferably Pvc

transparent), controlling the wind and rain, and the blinds on the inside, which acts in parallel when desired or

independently, as necessary, being (preferably, made of woven microperforated polyester yarn), preserving visibility, controlling the sun, allowing air or breeze to pass through the micro holes.

The next position; the telescopic arms deployed and extended, until connected to the lens hood, said arms once extended, are fixed with the grip knobs, then the bars of the tissues of the two blinds are attached, which have nails that are introduced into the clamping profile of the telescopic arms, helping to keep the first bar held and level, to be able to put the grip knobs comfortably, then repeat the operation of putting the grip knobs on the second bar, once the operations have been carried out, the two blinds are joined in parallel, achieving total control of wind, rain and sun, in addition to an important thermal and acoustic chamber, providing the users of the terraces with greater comfort, contributing also to the neighborhood rest (thanks to the control acoustic).

And obviously the actuation of the blinds separately, for example; with telescopic arms deployed without

extend and extended, with the transparent PVC blind, attached to the telescopic arms, wind and rain are controlled, letting the sun go by (appetizing in the cold winter months).

And finally, with the arms equal to the previous example, and the blind of partial or total extended microperforated fabric, the thermal effect of the sun is regulated, limiting the greenhouse effect, (ideal on hot days of the year).

The plate that unifies the set of elements that make up the double folding telescopic awning, is the one that in turn joins the planters or screens for wind control, when it is attached to planters, the virtues described above of the system are total , since both blinds act, together or separately, from the lowest part of the terrace, towards the top, covering the whole until connecting

with the sun visor (it can also go without the flange or lower part of the plate, the two modules being dragged from the ground and fixed to it through loins or counterweights (see utility model No. U20I400738, which was previously presented).

When the one that composes the double awning is attached to the wind control screens, the blind that contributes to the comfort of the terrace is that of the microperforated fabric for solar control, since it also acts from the bottom to the top, controlling the sun throughout the area of the wind control screen, and over passing over it with extended telescopic arms, until connecting with the sun visor,

controlling the sun, letting the breeze pass between the top of the screen and the sun visor.

It is evident that the transparent PVC blind only begins to be effective, once it has passed over the limit of the wind control screen, controlling wind and rain between the gap between the screen and the sun visor.

Another of the qualities of the double awning, is that it has a brake system for the blocking of the tissues (identical to the utility model No. U20I500307 that is presented after this utility model), in order to maintain the fabric of the tense blinds to direct wind action, in case it was not enough with the traction of the spring roll of the blind. For this braking system, a weatherstripping, (preferably of PVC) has been placed at the top of the fabric-holder module, through one of the tabs, through which the tissues slide, and in front of the weatherstrip, confronted, on the other side of the exit slot of the fabric, the braking profile is located, said profile, once slid with the hand butts against the weatherstrip, leaving the tissue of the blinds imprisoned between them, to keep the locking or braking position,

grab handles intervene, these knobs go through some holes that have the brake profile, passing through them the threads of the knobs, being threaded to the module by the blind, inside the rivetable metric droppers, so that turning the knob the brake profile is fixed, remaining the imprisoned tissue, to release the tissue, the process is reversed. In addition to the fabric brake, which is ideal when the wind strikes it, preventing it from unrolling and exiting the module, the safety system goes further, fixing the bars of

joining the tissues, (by pulling these bars by hand, the fabric is removed from the blind, towards the outside), for example, the bar of the outer module or transparent PVC roof rack module, would be fixed laterally through safety screws , to the plate or support for fixing elements, and the tie bar of the croperforated fabric, would be fixed vertically to the module that houses the roll of said fabric, also with safety screws. If we combine the action of braking the tissues, with the safety screws instead of the grip knobs, the tissues are locked inside the modules without being able to be removed, providing security and tranquility, recommended on the days that it is required to leave the double awning mounted avoiding manipulation of tissue manipulation, for example, while the establishment is inactive.

The modules carry blinds, have a registration system,

removing the side covers that are fastened with screws located below the modules, once the screws are removed, the cover that is inserted under pressure is removed, having access to the interior of the modules for maintenance.

It should be noted that the sensor modules have a drain system at the bottom to evacuate the water that could seep inside the modules, these drains are coincident with those of the protruding angles of the plate or fixing bracket, At these angles the modules are attached with safety screws, being compacted with the rest of the elements that make up the double folding telescopic awning.

Note that the Cross-arm Kit system, the ideal solution when we find that the total width of the blind is less than the sum of the two telescopic arms when they are not extended and folded, for example; to cover a width with a meter and a half blind, being necessary to cover a height of two meters and the telescopic arms collected without extending and once folded each one measures a meter, being the sum of both of two meters, we find that with the conventional structure described above, the arms would stumble upon each other once folded, with this kit of arms crossed, one arm is above the other in parallel.

Rigid screens or awnings made of various fabrics, of opaque or transparent PVC, are usually used for rain and sun wind control, as well as acrylics, and technical fabrics of icroperforated polyester thread for control specific to the sun letting the breeze and the image pass through the micro holes (see utility model No. U20l400687 presented earlier).

With these systems described, wind, rain and sun can be controlled, but they act separately, and at least two elements must be used, for example, for wind and rain control, rigid, fixed or sliding screens vertical, and acrylic or PVC fabrics, and technical fabrics made of polyester yarn for the specific control of the sun.

The screen systems described above, coincide in the same thing, all lack adequate solar control since conventional systems to protect such screens from the sun, for example, in the hotel terraces around the parasols or awnings, are usually used hand-rolled and unwound awnings in the same way, or with automatic or crank drive, which lower above the wind control screens to control the sun, and it is true that they control the sun, but it is also true that they prevent between the air between the screen and the lens hood, with the inconvenience that this represents in the hot months.

With these described roller awning systems, it is inevitable to cover the ventilation space between the screen and the appropriate sunshade even if only the sun control is required at the height of the tables, because the roller awning slides from the sunshade down (Except utility models No. U201400687 and No. U201500307 present before and after this date), covering the space between them.

Adenitis of the added inconvenience of vandalism, since the only sunscreen awning that can be disassembled and mounted is the manual roller, (and utility models No. U20l400687 and No. U20l500307 present before and after this) and in When manipulated, the manual roller is usually very significant, since wrinkles occur that shorten the life of the fabric and produce a negative optical effect, in addition to the assembly and disassembly process of this manual awning, two people usually intervene .

On the other hand, the guided awnings of automatic or crank drive, are fixed in the environment of the sunshade or terrace awning, to metal structures anchored to the ground, making it impossible to disassemble, being at the mercy of any vandalism even being collected, during the periods of time in which the establishment is not active.

Through the operation of the invention, it is attempted to solve the problem of having to dispose separately of screens for wind control and micro perforated fabric for sun control, this proposed system has both solutions, being able to have them together or separately, and with them. two heights can be available at the time and place that is required, in addition to being easy to handle for installation or uninstall

Description of the invention by way of examples and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure I, comprised of the assembly initially formed by the double awning I, and the joint structure of the arms 2, joined through the elbows 3 (and the rest seen in transparency) that unifies the external telescopic arm 4 through which the internal telescopic arm 5 slides which travels through a hollow telescopic beam II (as a square or rectangular ring) which has the outer telescopic arm 4, and at the other end of the inner telescopic arm 5 there is the compact telescopic beam 12 making the up and down path inside the outer arm 4, see the holes 7 to lock the telescopic arm 5 in position up or down, through the grip knob 21 that will be threaded to the metric rivet bush 29 (see Figure 8). Note how the telescopic arm 5 has at its outer end, a clamping profile 37 for joining the first bar of the blind 36 and on this first bar the second 36b is coupled, both bars being joined n the telescopic arms 5, for a Safe and comfortable fixing of the grip knobs 21, for a better understanding (see figures 9 with the letter C). Look at the top of the telescopic inner arm 5 for the end with the cap 16. See the socket 15 made on the outer telescopic arm 4, through which you can see the elbow 3 of the fixing structure 2 through which, the telescopic arm 4 exerts an articulated movement, combined with the axis 8, once the arm is extended, the grip knob 21 is fixed to the metric cuffs 29 remaining the fixed position (see figure 8, to better appreciate the development). As it can be seen, in the upper and lower part of the double awnings I, the holes 27 for the attachment to planters or screens are located, these holes 27, are coincident with the holes of the plate 17 which is the one that joins so compact, to the structure 2 which in turn are attached to the set of telescopic arms 4 and 5, together with the double awning I (see Figure 6).

Figure 2, the same description and details of Figure I with the difference, as can be seen, that the telescopic arms composed of the exterior 4 and the interior 5 are folded and are parallel to the joint structure 2 and the double awning I. Said arms when folded are fixed by the grip knob 21 through the hole 9 to lock the arm when folded (see Figure 8).

As can be seen in Figure 3, it is a view similar to the set of elements that make up Figure I, without the double awning I, with the metric remediable bushings 29 seen in transparency in front of the fixing structure 2, when its real location, it is on the back of the structure 2, by said metric bushings 29 the fixing plate 17 is fixed through the holes 40 (see Figures 6 and 8). Figure 4, as can be seen, the descriptions and

Characteristics of elements that compose it are similar to Figure 2 without having the double awning I, coupled to it.

As can be seen, in figure 5, in an explosion of the elements that make up the double awning, in which the bar 36 of the cstor can be seen in the upper part, in which there is a hole 31 through which the safety screw 30, which fixes the bar of the blind 36 and through said security screw, this thread remaining to the plate 17 in case of

need to want to have 36 bar of the pvc blind

transparent 38, blocked and avoid manipulations (see figure 7 with bar 36 and 36b blocked), we can also see the hole 32 for the passage of the grip knob 21 and its fixation to the clamping profile 37 (see figure 9 letter C ) on the bar 36 of the transparent pvc clog 38, we have the bushing 29 which joins the bar of the cork bar 36b of microperforated fabric 39, both being fixed to the clamping profile 37 (see Figure 9). Doing security, we will go to the hole 31 that is located on the top of the bar 36b and on the side of the bar 36, through these holes pass the security screws 30, to be threaded into the bushes of metric 29, these bushings 29 are riveted inside the holes 28. The system for braking the tissues of the blinds 38 and 39 (see Figure 15), example; press the profile 20 towards the weatherstrip 22 which together are responsible for keep the fabric 38 and 39 trapped and braked, then you just have to position and thread until the grip knob 21 inside the metric bushing 29, which is riveted inside the hole 28, is tight, and finally in this figure 5, in the image below it can be seen as the side covers 16, which are arranged one on each side of the modules 18 and 19 and are responsible for keeping said modules closed, through the screws 33 to protect the tissue rolls of pvc 25 and the micro-perforated roll 26 (see figure 15), in case of maintenance and if you want to access the inside of the modules, you just have to remove these screws 33 and stretch the covers that were previously introduced under pressure, the safety screws 30 are those that connect the modules 18 and 19 to the spoiler that leaves the plate 17 through the holes with metric 28 (see Figure 6).

As shown in Figure 6, the joint support 17 for joining the double folding telescopic awning to screens or planters, which is provided with holes 27 for joining the aforementioned screens or planters, and the holes 40 to fix the connection structure 2 through the metric rivet bushings 29 (see Figure 8), for the connection of the compact double awning I, two projections can be seen as wings leaving the plate 17 with holes 28 to leave modules 18 and 19 together with the metric riveted bushings 29, for said joint they will use the safety screws 30 (see the image below in figure 5). The modules 18 and 19 will be previously joined together with silicone, and with the fixation described above, they will form a single compact body, as can be appreciated, below the protruding wings that leave the plate 17 are located drains 24 that they are coincident with drains 24 of modules 18 and 19.

Figure 7 shows the connection of the plate or support 17 with the modules 18 and 19 forming a single compact body.

Note in Figure 8 the enlarged detail of the articulation element of the folding telescopic arms, composed of one of the ends of the fixing structure 2 that is attached to the square that forms the elbow 3 as can be seen through the encaste 15 carried out on the arm 4 for a correct articulation, see the point of rotation through the axis 8, observe how the grip knob 21 is fixed to the rivet metric bushing 29 through the hole 10, when you want to keep the arms 4 and 5 locked in position

folded, the hole 9 will be used, putting the grip knob on the metric bushing 29, or to the corresponding metric, when the arms 4 and 5 are folded. Next to the enlarged image described above, the double folding telescopic awning can be contemplated without the lower flange prepared for fixing it to the ground or to counterweight plates (see utility model No. U20l400738 that is presented after this utility model) with the arms 4 and 5 deployed and extended, and the transparent pvc fabric 38 extended and fixed with the grip knobs 21, at the bottom thereof with folded arms.

In figure 9 two views are recreated in top perspective, and three views in side perspective.

In the first side view, marked with A, it can be seen how the clamping profile 37 is attached to the telescopic arm 5 through a safety screw 30 that is threaded to the metric rivet bushing 29, in the upper one, it is appreciated the bar 36 of the transparent pvc blind, said bar 36 has a connecting nail 6 attached to it, which is inserted into the groove of the clamping profile 37 being secured, so that the grip knob 21 can be threaded to the metric bushing 29, then For the position of my two joint tissues, the operation described above is repeated with the bar 36b of the microperforated fabric blind 39, for a better understanding, see the side images with letter B and C, and the upper images, with the letters C and A. with all the elements together.

Figure 10 is a side view in transparency with the letter A the extended telescopic arm, see, the outer arm 4 and the inner arm 5, and the same set of arms arms with the letter B in semi extended position, and finally with the letter C, the telescopic arm 5 not extended. Observe how the inner telescopic arm 5 slides through the inside of the arm 4 when it is in an extended and semi-extended position (see the detail of the stops 13 that delimit the end of the arm travel stretched), observe in the drawing of the telescopic arm collected as it delimits the collection path the stop 14, to leave the extended position fixed, you just have to introduce through the hole 7 the grip knob 21 (see figure 8) and Thread it into the metric bushing 29, for the pick-up or non-extended position, the same operation is repeated.

Figure I I shows the double awning assembly

telescopic folding, in the position of collected arms and in the position of extended arms, held among other elements described in previous figures, by the tab 35 which is the projection of the plate 17, this tab can only be used with special planters made with a tab which holds the projection of the plate 17, for the rest of common planters and screen frames against the wind the common fasteners described above are used (see Figures 6 and 7).

Figure 12 shows the double awning with the telescopic arms S deployed, with one of the blinds, that of micro perforated fabric 39, partially extended, and the double awning I with the telescopic arms 5 fully deployed and extended.

In Figure 13, we can see the different elements unified to the double folding telescopic awning I in extended arms position, as well as the fabric 39 of the cstor. See in the first upper drawing on the left, with the letter A, the union of the double folding telescopic awning assembly with the flange of junction 35 attached to the special planter, in the upper right margin with the letter B, the union of the double folding telescopic awning to a common planter can be seen through the fixings described above, at the bottom you can see three different screens, two of them attached to planters and the other directly linked to a traditional wind control screen, and finally if the tab 35 with fixing counterweights (see the utility model that presents with

previously with the number U20I400738), whatever the location of the double folding telescopic awning, for everyone has the best solution.

Figure 14, in it we can see the double functionality of the double folding telescopic awning; in image A, it can be seen how PVC fabric 38 is first extended

transparent module 18 whose functionality is the control of wind and rain and then through the inner part in parallel, the fabric 39 of the microperforated blind is extended out of the module 19, said microperforated fabric is responsible for controlling the sun at the same time as stand out as a decorative element; in figure B, it is seen how the transparent PVC fabric 38 of the module 18 emerges, that is in the case that only the wind and rain control is required; in figure C the fabric 39 that is extended is the microperforated leaving the module 19, in this case it is because only a suitable solar control is required while having a decorative element. Figure 15, see the detail of how the transparent pvc fabric 38 and the icroperforated, blocked and braked fabric 39 m look, through the pressure exerted by the profile 20 on the weatherstrip 22, then just position and tap until that the grip knob 21 inside the metric bushing 29 is tightly tightened, to leave the tissues released, just repeat the operation in reverse.

Figure 16, as can be seen, is the same structure with the extended and collected arms represented in figures (3) and (4) with the notable difference that elbow 3b is of height greater than elbow 3, and the telescopic arm Sb It is of a height greater than the telescopic arm 5, with arms 4 being identical measures. This remarkable variant of measures is what will give the solution for any blindness that is less than the width measurement in relation to the height.
