Description

Es sind Strukturen für Großflächenmarkisen bekannt welche wesentlich aus zwei, zueinander parallelen, geneigten Führungsprofilen bestehen, längs welcher während des Ausfahrens und während des Einholens mittels motorbetriebener, am höher gelegenen Ende der Führungsprofile vorgesehenen Wickelwelle, ein Wagen läuft an welchem der vordere Querrand des Markisenstoffes befestigt ist, während der zweite Querrand des Markisenstoffes an der Wickelwelle befestigt ist. Ein relevanter Stand der Technik ist beispielsweise aus EP-A-0 957 230, EP-A-0 796 976 oder EP-A-0 315 036 zu entnehmen. Dieser Wagen läuft während des Abwickelns des Markisenstoffes durch sein Eigengewicht in Richtung der tiefer gelegenen Struktur und wird, in vollständig ausgefahrenem Zustand der Markise, durch einen elektrisch gesteuerten Mechanismus oder durch einen automatischen Sperrmechanismus blockiert Damit die Funktionstüchtigkeit dieser bekannten Strukturen und Mechanismen gesichert ist, ist es notwendig, daß die Führungsprofile eine eher ausgeprägte Neigung aufweisen und daß der Wagen ein beachtliches Gewicht hat um zu garantieren, daß der Wagen, insbesondere beim Ausfahren der Markise, störungsfrei das tiefer gelegene Ende der Führungsprofile erreicht. Weiters kann es vorkommen, daß insbesondere bei mehreren, zueinander parallel ausfahrbaren Markisen, bei Regen, insbesondere am gemeinsamen Führungsprofil, eventuell auch durch die Einwirkung von Wind, das Wasser über die Seitenränder der Markise rinnt und in diesem Bereich der zwar von den Markisen und vom gemeinsamen Führungsprofil abgedeckt ist, zu Boden rinnt.Structures are known for large-area awnings which consist essentially of two mutually parallel, inclined guide profiles, along which during the extension and retrieval by means of motor-driven, provided at the higher end of the guide profiles winding shaft, a carriage is attached to which the front transverse edge of the awning fabric attached is, while the second transverse edge of the awning fabric is attached to the winding shaft. A relevant prior art can be found, for example, in EP-A-0 957 230, EP-A-0 796 976 or EP-A-0 315 036. This car runs during the unwinding of the awning fabric by its own weight in the direction of the lower structure and is, in the fully extended state of the awning, blocked by an electrically controlled mechanism or by an automatic locking mechanism In order to ensure the proper functioning of these known structures and mechanisms is It is necessary that the guide profiles have a rather pronounced inclination and that the carriage has a considerable weight to guarantee that the carriage, especially when extending the awning, smoothly reaches the lower end of the guide profiles. Furthermore, it may happen that, in particular in the case of several parallel extendable awnings, in rain, especially on the common guide profile, possibly also by the action of wind, the water over the side edges of the awning and runs in this area of the awnings and the common guide profile is covered, runs to the bottom.

Was die Sperrmechanismen betrifft welche für die Arretierung der Markise in ihrer maximalen Ausfahrstellung vorgesehen sind um anschließend den Markisenstoff, durch teilweises Wiederaufwickeln, unter Spannung zu setzen, so sind diese bekannten Mechanismen, unter bestimmten Funktionsbedingungen, z. B. bei gewissen Neigungswinkeln der Führungsprofile, nur begrenzt funktionstüchtig und erforden somit zuweilen händische Eingriffe.As regards the locking mechanisms which are provided for the locking of the awning in its maximum extended position to subsequently put the awning fabric, by partial rewinding, under tension, these known mechanisms, under certain operating conditions, for. B. at certain inclination angles of the guide profiles, only partially functional and thus require sometimes manual intervention.

An den bekannten Strukturen für Markisen ist der Wagen entweder unterhalb der parallelen Führungsprofile aufgehängt oder er läuft mittels Laufrollen auf einem Flansch welcher innerhalb des Führungsprofiles absteht und den Querschnitt des Profiles verzweigter und platzaufwendiger macht wodurch die Struktur schwerer erscheint und in der Herstellung aufwendiger ist. Weiters garantiert diese bekannte Ausführung, wegen Abnützung und Verformung, auf die Dauer nicht einen einwandfreien Lauf des Wagens, bei Entgleisen der Laufrollen wird der Wagen nicht sofort blockiert wodurch die Gefahr besteht, daß der Markisenstoff eingerissen oder beschädigt wird, zusätzlich ist das Einrichten des Wagens infolge einer Entgleisung mühsam und arbeitsaufwendig.In the known structures for awnings of the car is either suspended below the parallel guide profiles or he runs by means of rollers on a flange which projects within the guide profile and the cross section of the profile branched and space consuming makes the structure appears heavier and is more expensive to manufacture. Furthermore, this known design, because of wear and deformation, in the long run does not guarantee a perfect running of the car, derailment of the wheels of the car is not blocked immediately causing the risk that the awning fabric is torn or damaged, in addition, the setting up of the car laborious as a result of derailment.

Die Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe eine Struktur für Markisen der vorher beschriebenen Art zu schaffen welche, auch bei bescheiderem Neigungswinkel, andauernde Funktionstüchtigkeit garantiert, wobei die Führungsprofile einfacheren und platzsparenderen Querschnitt aufweisen, gute Rolleigenschaften für den Wagen bieten und ein wirksames Auffangen und Ableiten des über den seitlichen Markisenrand rinnenden Wassers ermöglichen; während der Wagen bei Entgleisung sofort blockiert um das Einreisen des Markisenstoffes zu verhindern und um auf einfache Weise, ohne Eingriff eines Technikers, wieder eingerichtet werden zu können; weiters stellt sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe einen automatischen Sperrmechanismus welcher bei jeglichem Neigungswinkel der Führungsprofile funktionstüchtig ist und ein ausfahrbares System von Auflagen für den gespannten Markisenstoff zu schaffen.The invention has as its object to provide a structure for awnings of the type described above, which guarantees, even at bescheiderem angle of inclination, continuous functioning, the guide profiles have simpler and more space-saving cross-section, provide good rolling properties for the car and an effective collection and dissipation of over allow the lateral edge of the awning to drain; while the car immediately blocked in derailment to prevent the entry of the awning fabric and to be able to be easily re-established without the intervention of a technician; Furthermore, the invention provides the object of an automatic locking mechanism which is functional at any angle of inclination of the guide profiles and to create an extendable system of requirements for the strained awning fabric.

Diese Aufgaben werden erfindungsgemäß eine der Vorrichtungen gemäß Anspruch 1 durch gelöst. Das Rollen des Wagens findet längs dem äußersten unteren Flansch des Führungsprofils statt, welcher zusammen mit einem zweiten oberen, eventuell identischen Flansch den seitlichen offenen Teil des C-förmigen Führungsprofils bildet, wobei der obere Flansch den seitlichen Rand des Markisenstoffes überdeckt, während der untere Flansch einen Abflußkanal für eventuell über den seitlichen Markisenrand geflossenes Wasser bildet. Das erfindungsgemäße Führungsprofil kann aus einem Teil mit geschlossenem Querschnitt zusammengesetzt sein an welchem der Führungsflansch und der Abdeckflansch angebracht sind, vorteilhafterweise aber ist das Führungsprofil, nachdem sein Querschnitt einfach strukturiert ist, auch durch Extrusion in Aluminium herstellbar. In diesem Fall schlägt die Erfindung vor daß der Führungsflansch, welcher eventuell durch ein Profil aus anderem Werkstoff abgedeckt ist, eine abgerundete Form aufweist um das Rollen des Wagens zu begünstigen und gleichzeitig Verformungen durch Abnützung, Schläge und/oder durch zufällige Belastungen zu verhindern.These objects are achieved according to one of the devices according to claim 1 by. The rolling of the carriage takes place along the outermost lower flange of the guide profile, which together with a second upper, possibly identical flange forms the lateral open part of the C-shaped guide profile, wherein the upper flange covers the lateral edge of the awning fabric, while the lower Flange forms a spillway for possibly flowed over the side edge of the awning water. The guide profile according to the invention may be composed of a part with a closed cross section to which the guide flange and the cover flange are mounted, but advantageously, the guide profile, after its cross section is simply structured, can also be produced by extrusion in aluminum. In this case, the invention proposes that the guide flange, which is possibly covered by a profile of other material, having a rounded shape to promote the roles of the car and at the same time to prevent deformation due to wear, shocks and / or by accidental loads.

Die Erfindung schließt weiters nicht aus, daß der Führungsflansch ein Profil aus anderem Werkstoff ist welches in einen eigenen Sitz am Führungsprofil eingesetzt ist. Gemäß einer Weiterentwicklung der Erfindung kann das Führungsprofil eine oder zwei vertikal nach unten abstehende Flanschen aufweisen welche für die Befestigung von Unterstützungen und/oder von Seitenwänden dienen.The invention further does not exclude that the guide flange is a profile made of other material which is inserted into a separate seat on the guide profile. According to a further development of the invention, the guide profile may have one or two vertically downwardly projecting flanges which serve for the attachment of supports and / or side walls.

Zwecks einfacher Gestaltung des Wagens schlägt die Erfindung vor, daß dieser an den beiden Enden eine stirnseitig angebrachte Platte trägt welche gleichzeitig außenseitig für die Lagerung der Klinke des automatischen Sperrmechanismus dient während an ihr innenseitig vorzugsweise zwei Laufrollen gelagert sind deren unterer Bereich etwas über die Außenlinie des Querschnittes des Wagenprofils vorstehen.For the purpose of simple design of the car, the invention proposes that this carries at the two ends a frontally mounted plate which also serves on the outside for the storage of the latch of the automatic locking mechanism while on the inside preferably two rollers are mounted whose lower portion is slightly above the outline of the Projecting cross-section of the carriage profile.

Erfindungsgemäß sind die Anschlagelemente für die Sperrklinken welche an beiden Stirnseiten des Wagens gelagert sind, innen an der Seitenwand des Führungsprofiles oder innen am sich horizontal erstreckenden Teil des Führungsflansches, angebracht. Diese Anschlagelemente können nur im Endbereich der Führungsprofile oder auch in Zwischenpositionen vorgesehen sein und sei es betreffend die Neigung, als auch betreffend den Abstand zur Lauflinie des Lagerbolzens für die Sperrklinke, einstellbar sein. Erfindungsgemäß bildet die Lagerplatte selbst welche stirnseitig an beiden Enden des Wagenprofils befestigt ist an der Oberseite eine verbreiterte Auflage für den Markisenstoff und endet in einen nach oben abstehenden Flansch welcher, in Zusammenwirkung mit einem nach unten von der Platte über die Außenlinie des Querschnittes des Wagenprofils abstehenden Flansch bewirkt so daß, im Falle einer einseitigen oder beidseitigen Entgleisung des Wagens, dieser sofort blockiert ohne Gefahr daß er aus den Führungsprofilen springt und ohne daß der Markisenstoff beschädigt wird.According to the invention, the stop elements for the pawls which are mounted on both end sides of the carriage, on the inside of the side wall of the guide profile or on the inside of the horizontally extending part of the guide flange attached. These stop elements can be provided only in the end region of the guide profiles or in intermediate positions and be it regarding the inclination, as well as concerning the distance to the running line of the bearing pin for the pawl, adjustable. According to the invention, the bearing plate itself which frontally attached to both ends of the carriage profile is at the top of a widened support for the awning fabric and ends in an upstanding flange which, in cooperation with a projecting downwards from the plate over the outline of the cross section of the carriage profile causes so that, in the case of a one-sided or bilateral derailment of Car, this immediately blocked without danger that it jumps out of the guide profiles and without the awning fabric is damaged.

Das einwandfreie Funktionieren des automatischen Sperrmechanismus hängt weiters von einer Sperrklinke ab welche einen wesentlich H- oder X-förmigen Gleitschlitz aufweist. Diese Sperrklinke begegnet in Sperrposition sei es den unteren einstellbaren Anschlagelementen als auch der unteren Oberfläche des aus der Lagerplatte horizontal abstehenden Flansches welcher an der Oberseite die Auflageverbriterung für den Markisenstoff bildet. Gemäß einer Weiterentwicklung der Erfindung kann die Sperrklinke auch einen einfachen Gleitschlitz aufweisen welcher sich in Längsrichtung der Klinke erstreckt und an beiden Enden mit einem Magnet versehen ist so daß in bestimmten Funktionsphasen die Klinke, welche z. B. aus Messing gefertigt ist, mit einem der Schlitzenden am Lagerzapfen aus Eisen zurückgehalten wird.The proper functioning of the automatic locking mechanism further depends on a pawl which has a substantially H or X-shaped sliding slot. This pawl encountered in the blocking position, it is the lower adjustable stop elements and the lower surface of the horizontal plate protruding from the bearing plate flange which forms the Auflagewidgebung for the awning fabric on the top. According to a further development of the invention, the pawl may also have a simple sliding slot which extends in the longitudinal direction of the pawl and is provided at both ends with a magnet so that in certain phases of operation, the pawl, which z. B. is made of brass, is retained with one of the slot ends on the bearing pin made of iron.

Die Erfindung wird anschließend anhand eines, in den beigelegten Zeichnungen schematisch dargestellten, vorzuziehenden Ausführungsbeispieles einer erfindungsgemäßen Struktur und automatischen Sperrmechanismus für Markisen, näher erklärt; dabei erfüllen die Zeichnungen rein erklärenden, nicht begrenzenden, Zweck.The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to a preferred exemplary embodiment of a structure according to the invention and an automatic locking mechanism for awnings shown schematically in the attached drawings; The drawings fulfill a purely explanatory, non-limiting, purpose.

Der erfindungsgemäße Wagen besteht aus einem Rohrprofil 2 welches an der Vorderkante ein Profil 9 für die Befestigung des vorderen Querrandes des Markisenstoffes 3, mittels Einführung eines Rundstabes 3a, trägt. Stimseitig an beiden Endbereichen des Profils 2 des Wagens ist mittels, innen in das Profil eingreifende, Einrastelemente und/oder Befestigungslemente 4d, eine Lagerplatte 4 angebracht. Die Lagerplatte 4 trägt an, in das Profilinnere abstehenden, Lagerzapfen 5a die Laufrollen 5 während an der Außenseite mittels Bügel 6d und Zapfen 6e die Sperrklinke 6 des automatischen, Sperrmechanismus gelagert ist. Im oberen Bereich steht von der Lagerplatte ein horizontaler Flansch 4b, fluchtend mit der oberen Fläche des Wagenprofils 2, ab um so eine Verbreiterung der Auflagefläche für den Markisenstoff 3 zu schaffen. Ein von diesem Flansch vertikal nach oben abstehender Flansch 4c bildet, zusammen mit einem unten von der Lagerplatte 4 vertikal abstehendem Flansch 4a, eine Sicherung um das seitliche Ausspringen des Wagens aus dem Führungsprofil zu verhindern und um, im Falle einer Entgleisung, das sofortige Blockieren des Wagens durch Verspießung der Flanschen 4a und 4c der Lagerplatte an der Innenseite der Führungs- und Abdeckflanschen 1a zu erreichen.The carriage according to the invention consists of a tubular section 2 which at the front edge of a profile 9 for the attachment of the front transverse edge of the awning fabric 3, by means of introduction of a round rod 3a, carries. At the end of stimulus at both end regions of the profile 2 of the carriage, a bearing plate 4 is attached by means of latching elements and / or fastening elements 4d engaging inside the profile. The bearing plate 4 contributes, projecting into the profile interior, bearing pin 5a, the rollers 5 while on the outside by means of bracket 6d and pin 6e, the pawl 6 of the automatic locking mechanism is mounted. In the upper area of the bearing plate is a horizontal flange 4b, flush with the upper surface of the carriage profile 2, from so as to create a widening of the support surface for the awning fabric 3. A vertically projecting from this flange flange 4c, together with a vertically projecting from the bottom of the bearing plate 4 flange 4a, a fuse to prevent the lateral jumping out of the carriage from the guide rail and, in the event of derailment, the immediate blocking of the To reach car by splitting the flanges 4a and 4c of the bearing plate on the inside of the guide and Abdeckflanschen 1a.

Die erfindungsgemäße Sperrklinke 6 hat die Form eines länglichen Plättchens mit, gemäß der Längsachse verlaufendem Gleitschlitz 6f mit Querverzweigungen 6h und 6g an beiden Endbereichen wodurch ein insgesmt H-förmiger Schlitz entsteht. Natürlich kann dieser Schlitz auch X- förmig oder allgemein so ausgebildet sein daß ein Langsgleiten 6a und, an den Endbereichen, ein Quergleiten 6b ermöglicht wird, weiters kann die Sperrklinke in jeglicher Stellung eine Pendelbewegung 6c ausführen.The pawl 6 according to the invention has the shape of an elongated plate with, according to the longitudinal axis extending Gleitschlitz 6f with transverse branches 6h and 6g at both end regions whereby a H-shaped slot is formed insgesmt. Of course, this slot can also be X-shaped or generally designed so that a longitudinal sliding 6a and, at the end regions, a transverse sliding allows 6b, further, the pawl in any position can perform a pendulum movement 6c.

Die Anschlagelemente 7, 8 für die Sperrklinke 6 welche im äußersten tiefliegenden Endbereich der Führungsprofile 1 oder auch in Zwischenpositionen vorgesehen sein können, können seitlich an der Profilwand 1b oder unten am seitlich, vom geschlossenen Rohrprofil 1b, abstehenden Flansch 1a, befestig sein. Diese Anschlagelemente 7, 8 sind vertikal 7a, 8a und auch betreffend ihrer Neigung zur Lauflinie des Lagerzapfens 6e für die Sperrklinke 6, durch die Schrauben 7b, 8b einstellbar.The stop elements 7, 8 for the pawl 6 which provided in the outermost low-lying end portion of the guide profiles 1 or in intermediate positions can be laterally on the profile wall 1b or at the bottom of the side, from the closed tube profile 1b, protruding flange 1a, be fastened. These stop elements 7, 8 are vertically 7a, 8a and also with respect to their inclination to the running line of the bearing pin 6e for the pawl 6, by the screws 7b, 8b adjustable.

Während des Ausfahrens D der Markise 3 durch den Wagen 2 begegnet die Sperrklinke 6 dem oberen Anschlagelement 8 woran die Seite 6i der Klinke schleift und dabei die Sperre um den Lagerzapfen 6e mit ihrem hinteren Bereich nach oben pendelt A (Fig. 6). Durch weiteres Ausfahren D des Wagens schleift die Sperrklinke über das obere Anschlagelement 8 (Fig. 7). Durch weitere Fortbewegung D des Wagens pendelt der hintere Bereich der Sperrklinke 6 nach unten um auf dem unteren Anschlagelement 7 aufzuliegen (Fig. 8). Nach dieser letzten Phase wird die Markise wieder aufgewickelt und der Wagen wird somit eingeholt S wobei die Sperrklinke 6 mit der Querseite 6k dem Querrand des oberen Anschlagelementes 8 begegnet wobei anschließend, durch eine weitere Bewegung S des Wagens, der Lagerzapfen 6e vom Querschlitz 6g in den Längsschlitz 6f gleitet und die Sperrklinke eine Pendelbewegung A nach oben ausführt (Fig. 9). Diese Pendelbewegung A wird fortgesetzt bis die Sperrklinke den Endbereich des Längsschlitzes 6f erreicht und die obere Ecke des Klinkenquerrandes 6m an der unteren Fläche des Flansches 4b, der seitlich horizontal von der Lagerplatte 4 absteht, anliegt (Fig. 10); in dieser Position ist der Wagen blockiert und der Markisenstoff 3 wird durch weiteres Aufwickeln gespannt Um die Entriegelung des Wagens und das anschließende Einholen der Markise zu ermöglichen, muß zuerst ein Abwickeln des Markisenstoffes erfolgen wodurch ein Ausfahren D des Wagens erfolgt, wobei die Querseite 6m der Klinke 6 nach unten gegen das untere Anschlagelement 7 (Fig. 11) schwenkt B. Durch das anschließende Aufwickeln des Markisenstoffes wird der Wagen eingeholt S und die Sperrklinke 6, welche mit ihrem äußersten oberen Bereich des Querschlitzes 6h am Lagerbolzen 6e hängt, begegnet mit ihrer unteren Längsseite 6i der Querkante des oberen Anschlagelementes 8 (Fig. 12). Durch weiteres Einholen S des Wagens, schwenkt die Sperrklinke mit ihrer Querkante 6m nach oben A und schleift anschließend über das obere Anschlagelement 8 (Fig. 13). Durch weiteres Einholen S des Wagens wird die Klinke endlich, nach dem Bereich des oberen Anschlagelementes 8, mit dem Bereich der Querkante 6m nach unten schwenken und der Wagen kann weiter eingeholt werden während die Sperrklinke die Stellung für die nächste Arretierung eingenommen hat.During the extension D of the awning 3 by the carriage 2, the pawl 6 encounters the upper stop element 8 on which the side 6i of the pawl grinds while the barrier about the bearing pin 6e with its rear portion upwardly oscillates A (Fig. 6). By further extension D of the carriage, the pawl grips over the upper stop element 8 (FIG. 7). As a result of further movement D of the carriage, the rear region of the pawl 6 swings downwards to rest on the lower stop element 7 (FIG. 8). After this last phase, the awning is wound up again and the car is thus overtaken S wherein the pawl 6 with the transverse side 6k the transverse edge of the upper stop element 8 encounters whereby subsequently, by a further movement S of the carriage, the bearing pin 6e of the transverse slot 6g in the Longitudinal slot 6f slides and the pawl performs a pendulum motion A upwards (Fig. 9). This pendulum motion A is continued until the pawl reaches the end portion of the longitudinal slot 6f and the upper corner of the ratchet trailing edge 6m abuts against the lower surface of the flange 4b which projects laterally horizontally from the bearing plate 4 (Figure 10); In this position, the car is blocked and the awning fabric 3 is stretched by further winding In order to enable the unlocking of the car and the subsequent recovery of the awning, a unwinding of the awning fabric must first take place whereby an extension D of the car takes place, the transverse side of the 6m Pawl 6 down against the lower stop element 7 (Fig. 11) pivots B. By the subsequent winding of the awning fabric the car is overtaken S and the pawl 6, which hangs with its outermost upper portion of the transverse slot 6h on the bearing pin 6e, met with her lower longitudinal side 6i of the transverse edge of the upper stop element 8 (Fig. 12). By further recovery S of the car, the pawl pivots with its transverse edge 6m upwards A and then grinds over the upper stop element 8 (Fig. 13). By further loading S of the car, the pawl will finally, after the area of the upper stop element 8, pivot with the region of the transverse edge 6m down and the car can be further caught while the pawl has taken the position for the next stop.

Die für die Sperrklinke 6 beschriebenen Bewegungen sind im Wesentlichen identisch auch von einer Sperrklinke 60 ausführbar welche eventuell die selbe Form wie die Klinke 6 aufweisen kann aber einen einfachen Längsschlitz 60f aufweist an dessen beiden Endbereichen Magnete 60p, 60n vorgesehen sind welche bewirken, daß diese Endbereiche in bestimmten Funktionsphasen am eisenhaltigen Lagerzapfen 6e magnetisch zurückgehalten werden. Insbesondere aus den Fig. 6a, 8a geht hervor, daß die Sperrklinke 60 durch den Magnet 60n am Endbereich des Längsschlitzes 60f am Lagerbolzen 6e magnetisch zurückgehalten wird, während die Fig. 10 zeigt daß, infolge des Loslösens des Magnetes 6n vom Lagerbolzen 6e, dieser vom Magnet 6p angezogen wird, wobei diese Position auch während der in Fig. 11a gezeigten Funktionsphase des weiter ausfahrenden D Wagens 2 und während der darauf folgenden Einholphase S des Wagens 2, beibehalten wird.The movements described for the pawl 6 are substantially identical executable by a pawl 60 which may possibly have the same shape as the pawl 6 but has a simple longitudinal slot 60f at the two end portions of magnets 60p, 60n are provided which cause these end portions be retained magnetically in certain phases of the iron-bearing journal 6e. 6a, 8a shows that the pawl 60 is magnetically retained by the magnet 60n at the end portion of the longitudinal slot 60f on the bearing pin 6e, while Fig. 10 shows that, due to the detachment of the magnet 6n from the bearing pin 6e, this is attracted to the magnet 6p, this position also during the shown in Fig. 11a functional phase of the further extending D carriage 2 and during the subsequent catch-up phase S of the carriage 2, is maintained.

Die ausfahrbaren Auflagerohre 10 welche insbesondere während des Ausfahrens der Markise aber auch im Falle starken Regens oder bei Wind eine Auflage für den Markisenstoff bilden bestehen erfindungsgemäß aus einem Rohr 10 mit beidseitig, stimseitig befestigtem Lagerteil 11 von welchem ein zum Rohr koaxsialer Lagerzapfen 12 absteht an welchem je eine Laufrolle 13, welche leicht kleineren Durchmesser als das Rohr 10 aufweist, und eine Auflagescheibe 14 für den äußersten Seitenrand des Markisenstoffes, drehbar gelagert sind. Die Auflagescheibe 14 hat gleichen Durchmesser wie das Rohr 10 und weist stimseitig einen zylindrischen Ansatz 15 auf welcher für die einzelnen Auflagen, in Richtung von der Aufwickelwelle zum Wagen 2, abnehmenden Durchmesser 15a, 15b, 15c, usw. aufweist. Gegen diese Ansätze 15, 15a, 15b, 15c ragen seitlich von der Profilwand 1b des Führungsprofiles 1, von oben oder von unten, von den Flanschen 1a, entsprechende, einstellbare Anschläge 16a, 16b um so progressiv während des Ausfahrens der Markise mit Wagen 2 an den gewünschten Stellen eine Auflage für den Markisenstoff zu bilden. Während des Einholens des Wagens mit Markise werden auch die ausfahrbaren Auflagen progressiv am Wagen 2 anliegend eingeholt.The extendable support tubes 10 which form a support for the awning fabric in particular during the extension of the awning but also in case of heavy rain or wind consist according to the invention of a tube 10 with both sides, end-mounted bearing part 11 from which a coaxial to the pipe bearing pin 12 protrudes at which depending on a roller 13, which has slightly smaller diameter than the tube 10, and a support plate 14 for the outermost side edge of the awning fabric, are rotatably mounted. The support plate 14 has the same diameter as the tube 10 and has a cylindrical end face 15 on which for the individual pads, in the direction of the take-up shaft to the carriage 2, decreasing diameter 15 a, 15 b, 15 c, etc. Against these lugs 15, 15 a, 15 b, 15 c protrude laterally from the profile wall 1 b of the guide profile 1, from above or from below, of the Flanges 1a, corresponding, adjustable stops 16a, 16b so as to progressively form during the extension of the awning with car 2 at the desired locations a support for the awning fabric. During the retrieval of the car with awning and the extendable pads are progressively overtaken on the car 2 adjacent.

An den Auflagescheiben 14 kann ein ringförmiger Flansch stimseitig von der Auflagefläche abstehen welcher, bei eventuellem Entgleisen der Rollen 13, bewirkt, daß die Auflagerohre 10 nicht aus den Führungsprofilen springen.On the support plates 14, an annular flange end face of the support surface protrude which, in case of derailment of the rollers 13, causes the support tubes 10 do not jump out of the guide profiles.
