Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fully foldaway awning. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fully foldaway awning comprising:
  • valance i.e. the strip of fabric which is the finishing terminal along the most external edge of the awning is not windable, remains always outside the headrail and is continuously subject to atmospheric agents.
  • the awnings which can be wound and protected in the inside of the headrails, and the corresponding valances, always exposed, which differences are due to colour decay, smog, powder, wear due to beating, and so on.
  • Object of this invention is to eliminate said drawbacks.
  • the awning if fully foldable in the headrail and the valance is fully windable in the front transversal terminal; once the winding of the awning has ended, the transversal terminal wherein the windable valance is comprised, touches and closes the headrail containing the awning; the winding of the valance in the transversal terminal is realisable by hand by means of at least a side knob, or it is realisable automatically by means of gears coupled to the conventional extension and/or closing movements of articulated arms which control the opening or the winding of the awning, independently on such control being hand or motor-driven, with help manoeuvres by winches; the headrail comprises supporting end plates adjustable according to the inclination which one wants to impart to the extended awning; a holed support may be coupled to at least one of said plates, through which an end passes of the awning winding drum, for its direct connection with a rotation activation group, motor controlled with help manoeuvres, or hand controlled, which results to be correctly oriented vertically, independently on the inclined setting of the
  • the valance winding system may be independent and manual or automatic coupled with the opening and closing movement of the articulated arms of the awning, independently on the hand- or motor control of the awning; the protection systems of said parts, of movement and orientation are constituted of simple means, rational as concerns the structure and of easy and economic realisation.
  • the fully foldaway awning of the present invention comprises an awning (1), a headrail (2) provided with a winding drum (3) and articulated arms (4) and a valance (5).
  • Valance (5) is comprised in a front transversal terminal (6) equipped with a winding roller (7) for the awning and drive elastic pliers (8).
  • Terminal (6) engages with the front edge of awning (1) through a roping/raceway coupling (9).
  • roping/raceway couplings (10) (11) awning (1) engages the back edge to its winding drum (3) and valance (5) engages the upper edge to its winding roller (7).
  • the inside of headrail (2) is covered by a continuous protecting shell (12) from plastic material or metal, such as, by way of non limiting example, PVC, chrome-plated steel and the like, which causes the inside winding housing of the awning to be smooth and uniform, preventing in this way the awning from getting dirty or wearing following the manoeuvres.
  • the front terminal (6) comprises a longitudinal recess (13) closed at the top and open at the bottom, wherein the winding roller (7) of the valance is enclosed.
  • semiannular elastic pliers (8) are located which, fixed along a groove (14), extend with their arms around the winding roller (7), forming an open circle whose internal diameter corresponds, at rest, to the diameter of roller (7) plus a fabric turn of the valance (5).
  • the pressure exercised by the arms of pliers (8) is especially useful during the contrary operation, i.e. when the valance (5) is unwound and goes down towards the outside. In fact, such pressure prevents the fabric from unwinding inside recess (13) and facilitates the regular and progressive unfolding of the fabric, without any hindrance.
  • the elastic pliers (8) are positioned in correspondence of said sewings, except for those of side edges. If valances have no intermediate sewings, pliers (8) are positioned at a uniform distance along the extension, edges being always excluded.
  • Winding and unwinding of valance (5) may be realised by a manual system comprising, at least on one of the ends of the transversal terminal (6) a knob (15) provided with a hub (16) which fits into an end of the winding roller (7).
  • the rotation of roller (7) may also be automatic, according to the opening and winding movements of the awning (1).
  • the automatic rotation of roller (7) takes place as follows: when awning (1) is closed and the opening movement starts, the profiles (19) and (20) of the two articulated arms (4), to which said awning is engaged along the external edge, shift from their parallel closing position and start articulating unthreading awning (1) from headrail (2).
  • a supplementary lever (21) is engaged to each lower profile (20) of the articulated arms (4) .
  • a sliding block is hinged with or without wheels or rolls (22 DX and 22 SX) which can slide along grooves (23) obtained on the front transversal terminal (6).
  • the end supports (35) of the same lower profiles (20) are tied to the same terminal (6).
  • one of the ropes (24 DX) making part of the sliding block (22 DX) slides around a support with a central pulley (25), enters the throughholes of said sliding block (22 DX) and of stop (26 DX) of the transversal terminal (6), slides on a pulley of a support (27 DX) and fixes to the upper part of a pulley (28 DX) engaged at the right end of roller (7) for the winding of valance (5).
  • the other rope (24 SX) making part of the rolling block (22 SX) enters the through-hole of stop (26 SX) of the transversal terminal (6), slides on a pulley of support (27 SX) and fixes to the lower part pulley (28 SX) engaged in the left end of the same winding roller (7).
  • lever (21 DX) creates a traction on rope (24 DX) wound on pulley (28 DX); this one causes roller (7) to rotate and the valance unwinds.
  • lever (21 SX) exercises a traction on its rope (24 SX), which causes pulley (28 SX) to rotate in the contrary direction with regard to the preceding one, with ensuing winding of the valance.
  • the left side rope (24 SX) re-winds on pulley (28 SX) and the system is already ready for a subsequent opening of the valance at the same time as the opening of the awning.
  • Figures 5 and 6 show the side supports (29) which, associated to counter-plates (30) may be adapted for both horizontal wall-applications and vertical ceiling-applications.
  • plates (3) tied to the end of headrail (2) are coupled to and engaged with supports (29).
  • supports (29) and plates (31) allows the installation of the awning with any inclined orientation.
  • At least one of plates (31) comprises a central through-hole (32), aligneable to a corresponding hole (33) of at least one of said supports (29) through which an end of said winding drum (3) of awning (1) inserts, to facilitate its connection with any hand- or motor movement means, with conventional help manoeuvre, comprised in a casing (34) aligneable always by means of vertical manoeuvres, independently on the more or less inclined orientation of plates (3), and therefore of awning (1).
  • the inclined coupling between plates (31) and supports (29) is realised by means of side sectors (38) that engage their toothed ends (39) in as many complementary housings (40) obtained along the peripheral edges of supports (29).
  • Sectors (38) are kept engaged with housings (40) by means of back friction couplings between the ray-like surfaces (42) of as many buffers, locked by pressure screws (43). After the setting of the maximum desired inclined position, and before fully locking screws (43) by means of screw regulators (44), it is possible to carry out an exact micrometric positioning by causing said ray-like surfaces (41, 42) to slide relatively to one another.
