Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for rotatively driving an awning control rod, in particular the control rod of sunshade awnings with rolling/unrolling capabilities.
  • rods or sticks for remotely driving the rolling/unrolling members of awnings and the like more easily and conveniently.
  • Such rods have a hooked end for operative connection to the member to be remote operated, while the other end forms a simple device for rotatively driving the rods, which is practically a cross arm carrying a hand hold element for the operator at its free end. That hand hold element, which extends transversely to said arm, enables the rod rotational movement to be controlled manually with the operator steadying the rod with his/her other hand.
  • a device for rotatively driving an awning control rod which is characterized in that it comprises a substantially closed body rotatably engageable with one end of said rod and having at least one handgrip adapted to allow an operator to handle said body and an internally mounted electric motor, a reduction gear interconnecting said electric motor to said rod and including a number of gear pairs defining a high step-down drive ratio, members for supplying said electric motor with an electric current, and control elements extending to the outside of said body and adapted to enable an operator to select the direction of rotation of said electric motor.
  • FIG. 1 shown therein is a schematical representation of an awning 1 in an operative position and adapted for operation through a control rod 2 which is driven by means of a device according to the invention.
  • this device is applied to the same end of the rod 2 which is usually engaged by conventional manually operated rolling/unrolling means, while the opposed end of the rod 2 has a hook 3 formed thereon for connection to an awning rolling/unrolling member 4.
  • This rolling/ unrolling member 4 is a part of the tent 1 system and known per se. In practice, it is defined by a small capstan whence a ring 5 protrudes which is adapted for hooking by the hook 3 of the rod 2. Rotation of the ring 5 drives the rolling/unrolling member 4, with consequent taking up or paying out of the tent 1, depending on the direction in which the ring 5 is rotated.
  • the rod 2 drive device which represents the specific subject of this invention, is generally designated with the reference numeral 6 in Figures 1 to 3, which show a first preferred embodiment thereof.
  • the device 6 comprises on the outside thereof a body or enclosure 7, which is substantially closed and has two handgrips '8 formed integrally with the body 7.
  • the handgrips 8 are located on opposite sides with respect to the axis of the rod 2 intersecting the body 7 substantially at the middle thereof.
  • the rod 2 is divided in two sections: a first section 9 of greater length which carries the hook 3, and a second section 10 of shorter length which is partly embedded in the body 7.
  • the two sections are made mutually rigid through a sleeve 11 engaging both sections with keying elements of the throughgoing variety, more specifically a set screw and locking pin arrangement.
  • the second section 10 is supported in a pair of bushings 12 engaging with the body 7, and a bearing 13, also engaging with the body 7 on the interior thereof.
  • a gear making a part of a reduction gear 14 which includes a number of gear pairs and is extended to a pinion gear 15 of an electric motor 16.
  • the reduction gear 14 is advantageously sized to provide a high step-down drive ratio from the pinion gear 14 of the electric motor 16.
  • the. latter is preferably of the DC type and can rotate the pinion 15, in no load condition, at a high rpm.
  • members adapted to supply an electric current to the electric motor 16 which comprise low voltage current generators.
  • These low voltage current generating members include preferably at least one rechargeable battery 17.
  • the body 7 includes a connection 18 electrically connected to the rechargeable battery 17 and such as to be engageable by a suitable battery charger, known per se and not illustrated in the drawings.
  • This battery charger may. be located entirely on the outside of and separated from the body 7.
  • the device 6 further comprises control elements 19 for controlling the electric motor 16, which are connected to controls located adjacent said handgrip 8 and allow an operator to select the direction of rotation of the motor 16.
  • said controls comprise two pushbuttons 20 which are biased to their home positions; each pushbutton 20 controls the motor 16 for a respective direction of rotation when held depressed by an operator.
  • the body 7 may be formed from a synthetic resin, e.g. polyamide resin.
  • the body 7 may, accordingly, be formed by an injection molding process and be directly molded to provide suitable housings for all of the cited elements mounted therein.
  • two substantially identical half-shells may be provided, which when joined together will stably engage with the elements described hereinabove.
  • Figures 4 to 6 illustrate, in a very schematic fashion, a second embodiment of the inventive device.
  • a device 6a is provided, in a quite similar fashion to the first preferred embodiment just described, with a body or enclosure 7a, bushings 12a, and bearing 13 for supporting one end of the rod 2, as well as with a DC electric motor 16a operative to rotatively drive, at a high rpm number, a pinion gear 15a connected to the rod 2 through a reduction gear 14a providing a high step-down ratio, a battery 17a, and control elements 19a for controlling the motor 16a.
  • the control elements 19a include controls in the form of a reversing switch having a toggle 21 a adapted to change the polarity to the electric motor 16a.
  • a peculiar feature of the control device 6a resides, in this embodiment, in a series of technical solutions tending to facilitate in a special way a possible manual type of emergency operation of the rod 2 drive.
  • the body or enclosure 7a be divided into a first portion 22a of substantially tubular configuration and adapted to accommodate the motor 16a and reduction gear 14a, and second portion 23a laying across the former and defining a handgrip which contains at least one battery 17a, as well as at least a part of the cited reversing switch.
  • the second portion 23a engages, through a swivel joint 24a, an auxiliary handgrip 25a defining a crank arm.
  • the latter is movable from a position transverse to the second portion 23a shown in full lines, and a position of close contact with the second portion 23a, as shown in dash lines.
  • the second portion 23a is provided with a groove 26a wherein the auxiliary handgrip 25a may be partly embedded.
  • a second auxiliary handgrip 27a which can be used jointly with the auxiliary handgrip 25a.
  • This second auxiliary handgrip 27a is substantially defined by a cylindrical band mounted rotatably on the rod 2 and being an extension of the first portion 22a of the body or enclosure 7a. This cylindrical band extends along the rod 2 for a sufficient distance to provide full support of an operator's hand.
  • a locking member 28a shown separately in Figures 5 and 6, is provided to inhibit backlash or partial rotation of the rod 2 relatively to the body or enclosure 7a while the rod 2 is being rotated manually.
  • the locking member 28a comprises a clamp effective to clamp one end of the rod 2 between two jaws: a base jaw 29a fixedly located adjacent the rod 2, and a movable jaw 30a, located oppositely to the base jaw 29a.
  • the movements of the movable jaw 30a are controlled by brace 31a, in turn driven by a slider 32a arranged to slide along the first portion 22a of the body or enclosure 7a.
  • the slider 32a has, at its area facing the brace 31a, an incline 33a ending in a receptacle 34a adapted to receive one end of the brace 31a.
  • the latter is guided by a small plate 35a, which is arranged to be stationary and perforated, in engagement with one end of a tension spring 36a the other end whereof engages with the movable jaw 30a.
  • the tension spring 36a practically holds the movable jaw 30a away from the rod 2 with the brace 31a disengaged in the receptacle 34a.
  • the drive device according to the invention operates as follows.
  • An.operator is, first of all, to make the body 7,7a rigid with the rod 2. This is accomplished by fastening the sleeve 11, supplied with the body 7,7a, already attached to the second section 10 projecting from the body. Thereafter, the operator inserts the hook 3 of the rod 2 into the ring 5 of the rolling/ unrolling member 4, to then turn the rod 2 in either direction depending on whether the awning 1 is to be rolled up or unrolled.
  • the rotational drive is imparted by handling the device 6,6a and acting on the pushbutton controls 20 with the first embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3, and on the operating toggle 21a with the second embodiment shown in Figures 4 to 6.
  • the electric motor 16a is operated to rotatively drive the rod 2 through the reduction gear 14.
  • the inventive device can provide the initial pick-up to complete the operation. It should be considered, in fact, that the device operates under load from the very start, and that no no-load revolutions can take place prior to the rod being rotated, the inclusion of a clutch device being impossible or at least inconvenient.
  • a clutch device would in fact increase significantly the cost and complexity of the device, as well as the wear-ability and weight thereof.
  • the deliberately omitted clutch such as is usually provided with any electric devices of some importance to ensure progressive starting and prevent excessive starting loads on electric motors, is replaced herein by the cited high step-down ratio of the motor 16 rpm, which stepping down on the one side relieves the motor, and on the other side takes full advantage of any backlash existing, as an example, in the connection between the hook 3 and ring 5.
  • the arrangement of controls in the form of pushbuttons 20 which are biased to their home positions enables the device to be stopped at once as the travel end positions are reached: as soon as the operator perceives that the rod 2 has stopped because it has reached the end of its rotation, and that tends to turn the body 7, under the action of the electric motor 16, he is to only release the pressure on the pushbuttons 20 to stop the device.
  • a sudden propensity of the body 7 to rotate would result in the pushbuttons 20 being directly released. This, however, does not result in the device being dropped out of hand, since it can be firmly held through the pair of handgrips 8, which are preset to enable an operator to spontaneously oppose the rotation of the body or enclosure 7.
  • the same may be recharged quite simply by means of a suitable device connected to the connector 18.
  • a suitable device connected to the connector 18. This expedient allows on the one side the utmost efficiency and economy of utilization, and on the other, a substantial lightening of the control device 6,6a, given that the same is not loaded with the various elements which make up the battery charger.
