Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a sunshade comprising a frame accommodating a cloth roll, which is rotatable about an at least substantially horizontal axis of rotation, as well as hinged arms, which are capable of pivoting movement with respect to the frame about pivot axes extending parallel to the axis of rotation of said cloth roll and which support a cloth beam at their ends remote from said pivot axes, to which beam one end of a cloth to be wound on and unwound from said cloth roll is attached.
- The object of the invention is to obtain a sunshade of the kind referred to above, wherein it can be ensured in a simple and effective manner that the hinged arms are prevented from moving undesirably in the open position of the sunshade.
- According to the invention this can be achieved in that said sunshade is provided with at least one tension spring, which is connected to said cloth beam with a first end and to a coupling piece with the second end, which coupling piece is pivotably coupled to a further pivot axis extending parallel to the pivot axes of said hinged arms, said further pivot axis being located further away from the axis of rotation of the cloth roll than the pivot axes of said hinged arms.
- When this construction is used it will become possible for the tension spring to act on the cloth beam and the hinged arms in an effective manner in the open position of the sunshade, in order to prevent undesirable pivoting of the hinged arms carrying the cloth beam about the pivot axes of the hinged arms. The pivot axes may be fixed in position, but they may also be jointly mounted on slides which are movable in a direction transversely to the axes of rotation.
- The invention will be explained in more detail hereafter by means of an embodiment of the construction according to the invention diagrammatically illustrated in the accompanying Figures.
- Figures 1a and 1b are diagrammatic side views of a sunshade according to the invention, said Figures connecting with each other as indicated by line A-A.
- Figures 2a and 2b show one end of the sunshade, partially in elevational view and partially in sectional view, seen in the direction indicated by arrow A in Figure 1, whereby Figures 2a and 2b connect with each other as indicated by line B-B.
- Figure 3 is a sectional view of a frame beam forming a guide.
- Figure 4 is a view of a hinged arm.
- Figure 5 is a sectional view of the hinged arm shown in Figure 4, seen along line VI-VI in Figure 4.
- Figure 7 is a side view of a coupling piece.
- Figure 8 is a view of Figure 7, seen in the direction
indicated by
arrow 8 in Figure 7. - Figure Figure 9 is a side view corresponding with Figure 1b, wherein the hinged arm is shown in an open position of the sunshade.
-
- The frame of the sunshade shown in the Figures comprises two vertically extending parallel frame beams 1 (only one of which is shown), which can be attached to for example the wall of a building by means of
supports 2 or the like. - As is shown in Figure 3, a
frame beam 1 comprises a centrally positionedweb 3, withwings 4 being connected to the ends of said web. The facing ends of said wings define two diametricallyopposite passages 5 on either side ofweb 3, as will be apparent from Figure 3. - A
casing 6 is disposed between the upper ends of theframe beams 1, in which casing acloth roll 7 is rotatably journalled about a horizontally extending axis of rotation in a manner known per se. Said cloth roll may be rotated about its axis of rotation by hand or by means of a motor, in a manner which is likewise known per se, for winding and/or unwinding acloth 8. -
Front plates 9 are secured to the ends ofcasing 6, as is shown in particular in in Figure 2a. Pin-shaped members 11 are secured to the side of saidfront plates 9 facing away fromcasing 6 by means ofscrews 10, said pin-shaped members being accommodated within corresponding holes provided in supportingplates 12, which are secured to thewebs 3 of theframe beams 1. At least one of said pin-shaped members is locked in place in a respective supportingplate 12 by means of alocking screw 13. - As is shown in Figure 2a, supporting
plate 12 is located on the left-hand side ofweb 3. In a similar manner acasing 6 may also be mounted on the right-hand side ofweb 3, if desired. The axes of rotation of the cloth rolls present in thecasings 6, which are disposed in side-by-side relationship, may be coupled via a connecting shaft, which connecting shaft extends from a left-hand side ofweb 3 to the right-hand side ofweb 3 through hole 12'. - A slide or sliding
piece 14 is capable of upward and downward movement in each of the frame beams. Aguide roller 16 is connected to eachslide 14, by means of apin 15 extending parallel to the axis of rotation of the cloth roll, in such a manner as to be freely rotatable. As will be apparent from Figure 2b, a groove is circumferentially provided inguide roller 16, into which groove the facing ends of twowings 4 fit, so thatguide roller 16 guides slide 14 with respect to therespective frame beam 1 during the upward and downward movement of said slide. - Furthermore a hinged
arm 17 pivots aboutpin 15. - As will be apparent from Figures 4 - 6, hinged
arm 17 is substantially constructed in the shape of a tubular section, which is near one end, in two walls extending parallel to each other, provided withholes 18 for passingpin 15 therethrough. The end of the hinged arm in which saidholes 18 are formed is also provided with aslotted hole 19 in a wall part extending parallel to the central axis ofholes 18, said slotted hole extending from the lower end of the respective hinged arm, in the longitudinal direction of said hinged arm, over part of the length thereof. The purpose of said slottedhole 19 will be explained in more detail hereafter. - A
cloth beam 20 is provided between the ends of the two hingedarms 17 remote from thepivot pins 15. One end ofcloth 8 is fixed to saidcloth beam 20 in a usual manner. - One end of said
cloth beam 20 is attached to one end of ahinged arm 17 by means of an L-shaped connectingpiece 21. The leg of said connecting piece positioned within hingedarm 17 comprises apassage 22, through which awire rope 23 extends. Aclamping sleeve 24 is attached to the end ofwire rope 23 projecting from thehinged arm 17, above connectingpiece 21, seen in Figure 2b, which clamping sleeve preventswire rope 23 from moving in downward direction, seen in Figure 2. - The end of a
tension spring 25 present in the interior of hingedarm 17 is connected to the end ofwire rope 23 projecting under connectingpiece 21 in hingedarm 17. The other end of saidtension spring 25 is coupled to acoupling piece 26 shown in more detail in Figures 7 and 8, which coupling piece extends throughslot 19 in a respectivehinged arm 17. - Said coupling piece comprises a slotted
hole 27 near its upper end, which slotted hole is accessible from one side of the coupling piece via atransverse opening 28. - The lower end of
spring 25 is hooked into said slottedhole 27, whilst saidhole 27 furthermore accommodates apin 29, on the ends of whichdiscs 30 are provided for guiding said upper end ofcoupling piece 26 in the interior of hingedarm 17. - Said coupling piece comprises a
hole 31 at its end remote fromhole 27, said hole accommodating apin 32 secured to slide 14, in such a manner thatcoupling piece 26 can pivot with respect to said slide about saidpivot pin 32, which extends parallel to theaforesaid pivot pin 15. As will be apparent from Figures 1b and 2b thereby, saidfurther pivot pin 32 forcoupling piece 26 is positioned further away from the axis of rotation of the cloth roll thanpivot pin 15 of hingedarm 17. - The coupling piece furthermore comprises a
slotted hole 33 being open on one end and extending concentrically about the central axis ofhole 31. Said slotted hole is intended for co-operation with apin 34, which is attached to astop member 35 secured to theweb 3 offrame beam 1. - A
connecting strip 36 extending upwards from therespective slide 14, parallel toweb 3 inframe beam 1, is attached to eachslide 14. The upper end of connectingstrip 36 is attached to one end of ashaft 38 by means of ascrew 37. The other end ofshaft 38 is inserted into one end of ahollow shaft 39, which extends parallel tocloth beam 20. Saidhollow shaft 39 and the end ofshaft 38 which is inserted into said hollow shaft are thereby locked against movement with respect to each other by means of aspring clip 40, which is with its upper horizontal ridge (seen in Figure 1a) positioned in slotted holes provided in the twoshafts shaft 39 with both legs. - A U-shaped connecting
piece 41 is provided between the end ofhollow shaft 39 and the upper end ofstrip 36, and aroller 42, which is freely rotatable aboutshaft 38, is positioned between the parallel legs of said connecting piece.Roller 42 comprises a circumferential groove, which-accommodates the opposite ends of twowings 4 offrame beam 1 for guiding the roller and the parts connected toroller 42 during the upward and downward movement ofslide 14. - A
tube 43 extending concentrically abouthollow shaft 39 is provided onshaft 39 by means of connectingpieces 44. Saidtube 43 functions to guidecloth 8, as will be apparent in particular from Figure 1a. - Furthermore another thick-
walled tube 45 may be provided roundhollow tube 39 in the interior oftube 43, in order to impart sufficient weight to the mechanism which is capable of upward and downward movement with respect to the twoframe beams 1, which mechanism is made up of the twoslides 14 which are slidably accommodated in the frame beams, thetubes strips 36 extending within said frame beams and the parts associated therewith. - The operation of the above-described sunshade is as. follows.
- When
cloth 8 is moved out from its retracted position by being unwound fromcloth roll 7,slides 14 and the parts connected thereto will slide downward, guided byguide rollers frame beams 1, until slides 14 bear againststop members 35. Then the hinged arms will pivot aboutpivot pins 15 in the direction indicated by arrow B (Figure 1B) under the influence of the pulling force ofsprings 25. As will be apparent in particular from Figure 1b,tension springs 25 are to this end provided in such a manner that the longitudinal axes of the tension springs, and thus the forces exerted by said tension springs, will crosspivot pins 15 at the sides ofpivot pins 15 turned towards the direction of movement. When hingedarms 17 pivot aboutpivot pins 15 towards the position shown in Figure 9,coupling pieces 26 will pivot aboutfurther pivot pins 32, whereby the ends of the coupling pieces to whichtension springs 25 are coupled will start to move in a direction away frompivot pins 15, as it were.Pins 34 will be received in the slottedholes 33 provided in said coupling pieces upon pivoting ofcoupling pieces 26 aboutfurther pivot pins 32, as a result of which saidguide pins 34 provide a guide forcoupling pieces 26 whilst at the same time preventing undesirable movement of said coupling pieces. - The above-described movement of the connecting points of said
tension springs 25 to the coupling pieces will cause the ends of eachtension spring 25 to move towards each other, as a result of which the pulling force exerted by the tension spring slightly decreases, but on the other hand the connecting points oftension springs 25 to couplingpieces 26 will be positioned some distance below thepivot pins 15 of hingedarms 17, as a result of which the forces exerted by the tension springs result in a torque being exerted about thepivot pins 15 of hingedarms 17, which torque attempts to pivot saidarms 17 in the direction indicated by arrow C in Figure 9, whilst keepingcloth 8 taut thereby.
