Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gelenkarmträger für einen Gelenkarm einer Gelenkarmmarkise nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a Gelenkarmträger for an articulated arm an articulated arm awning according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Eine bekannte Verstelleinrichtung (DE 44 39 788 C1) umfaßt eine Ösenschraube, deren Öse von dem Führungsstift durchgriffen wird und deren Schraubspindel ein Druckstück durchgreift, das in einer an der Unterseite des Tragteils ausgebildeten Pfanne schwenkbar gelagert ist. Je nach Position des entsprechenden Führungsstiftes ragt die Stellschraube mehr oder weniger weit nach unten aus dem Tragteil heraus.A known adjusting device (DE 44 39 788 C1) includes an eyelet screw whose eyelet penetrated by the guide pin is and whose screw passes through a pressure piece, in a formed on the underside of the support member Pan is mounted pivotally. Depending on the position of the corresponding Guide pin projects the set screw more or less far down from the supporting part out.

Eine weitere bekannte Verstelleinrichtung ist in der DE 94 16 963 U1 offenbart. Diese Verstelleinrichtung weist alle Merkmale des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruchs 1 auf. Bei dieser Verstelleinrichtung ist die Stellschraube in einer quer zur Schraubenachse verlaufenden Bohrung geführt und sie wird durch das Gewicht des Gelenkarms und der daran angeordneten Teile stets auf Druck belastet. Dies ist statisch ungünstig. Zudem sind die in der Verstelleinrichtung nach dieser Druckschrift enthaltenen Teile aufwendig und kostenintensiv herzustellende Spezialteile.Another known adjusting device is in DE 94 16 963 U1. This adjusting device has all Features of the preamble of claim 1 on. at this adjustment is the screw in one guided transversely to the screw axis extending bore and she is determined by the weight of the articulated arm and the attached Parts always subject to pressure. This is statically unfavorable. In addition, in the adjustment after this Document contained parts consuming and expensive special parts to be produced.

Davon ausgehende besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, bei einer Gelenkarmmarkise der eingangs genannten Art eine Verstelleinrichtung zu schaffen, die die geschilderten Nachteile des Standes der Technik überwindet. Outgoing of it is the object of the present invention therein, in an articulated arm awning of the aforementioned Art to create an adjustment that described the Disadvantages of the prior art overcomes.

Die Erfindung sieht zu diesem Zweck vor, daß die Verstelleinrichtung gemäß dem Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 ausgebildet ist.The invention provides for this purpose, that the adjusting device according to the mark of the Claim 1 is formed.

Zunächst seien einige der verwendeten Begriffe erläutert.First, some of the terms used are explained.

Die Gelenkarme der Markise dienen zum Ein- und Ausfahren des Markisentuchs. Jeder Gelenkarm ist an seinem einen Ende mittels eines Tragteils mit einem Markisenträger gelenkig verbunden, der sich gewöhnlich über die Markisenlänge erstreckt und der im Betrieb bspw. mit einer Gebäudewand verbunden ist. An seinem davon abgewandten Ende sind die Gelenkarme mit einer sich gewöhnlich ebenfalls über die Markisenlänge erstreckenden Fallstange gelenkig verbunden, an der das Markisentuch befestigt ist. Die Veränderung der Neigung der Gelenkarme jeweils durch Verstellen des Führungsstifts entlang der Führungsöffnung bewirkt daher eine Veränderung der Neigung des Markisentuchs im ausgefahrenen Zustand. Die Neigung des Markisentuchs im ausgefahrenen Zustand kann somit an die jeweiligen örtlichen Gegebenheiten angepaßt werden. Die Begriffe "oben" und "unten" sind allgemein auf die Betriebsposition der Markise bezogen.The articulated arms of the awning serve to extend and retract the Awning fabric. Each articulated arm is at its one end by means a support member hingedly connected to a awning carrier, the usually extends over the awning length and in operation For example, is connected to a building wall. At his of it The opposite ends are the articulated arms with one usually also hinged over the awning extending drop bar connected, to which the awning cloth is attached. The change the inclination of the articulated arms in each case by adjusting the Guide pin along the guide opening therefore causes a Change in the inclination of the awning in the extended state. The inclination of the awning in the extended state can thus be adapted to the local conditions become. The terms "top" and "bottom" are generally applied to Operating position of the awning related.

Der Begriff "Stellschraube" ist nicht unbedingt auf eine Schraube im eigentlichen Sinne beschränkt. Wesentlich für die Erfüllung ihrer Funktion ist lediglich der Schraubenschaft, dessen Gewinde mit dem entsprechenden Gewinde der Gewindebohrung des Führungsstifts zusammenwirkt. Die Funktion des Schraubenkopfes - bspw. Betätigen der Stellschraube und/oder Abstützen an dem Tragteil - kann jedoch auch auf andere Weise erfüllt werden, so daß der Schraubenkopf aufgrund seiner Einfachheit zwar vorteilhaft, aber nicht zwingend notwendig ist.The term "set screw" is not necessarily a screw limited in the true sense. Essential for the fulfillment their function is only the screw shaft whose Thread with the corresponding thread of the threaded hole of the Guide pin interacts. The function of the screw head - For example, actuation of the adjusting screw and / or supports on the Supporting part - but can also be met in other ways, so that the screw head, while advantageous because of its simplicity, but not mandatory.

Die Form des "Führungsstifts" ist weitgehend beliebig, sofern er seine Funktion der Führung in der Führungsöffnung erfüllen kann. Insbesondere ist er bspw. nicht auf einen runden Querschnitt festgelegt. Der Führungsstift ist vorzugsweise als Schraube ausgeführt; er kann dann zum Festklemmen der Gelenkarme an dem Tragteil im Anschluß an die gewünschte Verstellung dienen.The form of the "leader" is largely arbitrary, provided he can fulfill its function of leadership in the leadership opening. In particular, it is not, for example, on a round cross-section established. The guide pin is preferably designed as a screw; he can then to clamp the articulated arms to the Support part following the desired adjustment serve.

"Führungsöffnung" meint denjenigen lichten Raum in dem Tragteil, der von dem Führungsstift überstrichen wird."Guide opening" means that clear space in the supporting part, which is covered by the guide pin.

Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt bei einer Verstellung des Führungsstifts keine Verschiebung der Stellschraube entlang ihrer Längsachse. Dadurch wird ein optisch nachteilhaftes Herausstehen der Stellschraube aus dem Tragteil weitgehend vermieden. Wenn der Führungsstift bspw. als Schraube ausgeführt ist, kann es aufgrund der Erfindung erreicht werden, daß - unabhängig von der eingestellten Neigung - lediglich noch der Schraubenkopf aus dem Halteteil herausragt und für den Betrachter sichtbar bleibt. Auf eine zusätzliche Abdeckung der Verstelleinrichtung, wie im geschilderten Stand der Technik vorgesehen, kann verzichtet werden, wenn dies gewünscht ist. According to the invention, an adjustment of the guide pin no displacement of the adjusting screw along its longitudinal axis. As a result, an optically disadvantageous protruding out of the screw largely avoided from the support part. If the guide pin For example, is designed as a screw, it may be due to the invention can be achieved that - regardless of the set Tilt - only the screw head from the holding part protrudes and remains visible to the viewer. On an additional cover of the adjustment, as in the described State of the art provided, can be omitted if desired.

Nach dem oben gesagten spricht es für die Verwirklichung der Erfindung, wenn bei einer Verstellung des Führungsstifts allenfalls eine Drehung der Stellschraube um eine zur Markisenachse parallele Achse - neben der funktionsgemäßen Drehung um ihre Längsachse - erfolgt. "Markisenachse" meint die Mittelachse des Markisentuchwickels.After the above, it speaks for the realization of the invention, if at an adjustment of the guide pin if necessary a rotation of the set screw about one to the awning axis parallel axis - in addition to the functional rotation about their Longitudinal axis - done. "Awning axis" means the central axis of the Awning fabric roll.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Stellschraube mit ihrem Schaft etwa entlang dem Verstellweg des Führungsstiftes - bei einem geradlinig verlaufenden Verstellweg bspw. etwa parallel zu diesem - angeordnet ist. Verstellweg meint dabei den von dem Führungsstift durchlaufenen Weg in einem Querschnitt senkrecht zur Markisenachse. Bei dieser Anordnung kann der mit dem Führungsstift zusammenwirkende Teil der Stellschraube vollständig innerhalb der Führungsöffnung liegen, unabhängig von der Position des Führungsstiftes. Die ohnehin vorhandene Führungsöffnung wird daher zur Aufnahme eines wesentlichen Teils der Stellschraube genutzt. Darüber hinaus ist lediglich noch eine im Vergleich zur Länge der Stellschraube kurze Bohrung in dem Tragteil erforderlich, durch welche die Stellschraube nach außen zur Betätigung derselben geführt ist. Davon abgesehen sind weitere Öffnungen in dem Tragteil für die Stellschraube nicht erforderlich, was sich positiv auf die Stabilität des Tragteils auswirkt und den Bearbeitungsaufwand reduziert. Insbesondere kann auf den im geschilderten Stand der Technik vorgesehenen Schlitz für die Stellschraube verzichtet werden.It is particularly advantageous if the screw with her Shaft approximately along the adjustment of the guide pin - at a rectilinear adjustment path, for example, approximately parallel to this - is arranged. Verstellweg means that of the Guide pin traversed path in a cross section perpendicular to the awning axis. In this arrangement, the with the guide pin co-operating part of the set screw completely lie within the guide opening, regardless of position of the guide pin. The already existing guide opening is therefore used to hold a substantial portion of the set screw used. In addition, there is only one more compared to the length of the adjusting screw short hole in the supporting part required, through which the set screw to the outside for actuation the same is performed. Apart from that, there are more Openings in the support member for the screw not required which has a positive effect on the stability of the supporting part and reduced the processing time. In particular, on the provided in the described prior art slot for the Adjusting screw can be omitted.

Zudem ist der Schwenkbereich der Stellschraube um eine zur Markisenachse parallele Achse vergleichsweise gering, so daß auf ein Schwenklager, wie bspw. in der DE 44 39 788 C1 vorgesehen, mit einem entsprechenden Lagereinsatz verzichtet werden kann, was den Aufwand entsprechend reduziert. Wenn die Führungsöffnung entlang ihrem Verstellweg eine Krümmung aufweist, so kann die entsprechende Schwenkbewegung der Stellschraube bspw. durch eine Rundung des Tragteils im Bereich der Abstützung der Stellschraube erreicht werden. Wenn die Führungsöffnung entlang dem Verstellweg des Führungsstifts vorzugsweise geradlinig geformt ist, erfährt die Stellschraube bei der Verstellung keine Schwenkung um eine zur Markisenachse parallele Achse, so daß auf eine entsprechende Anpassung des Tragteils ganz verzichtet werden kann.In addition, the pivoting range of the screw is one to the awning axis parallel axis comparatively small, so that on a pivot bearing, as, for example, provided in DE 44 39 788 C1, can be dispensed with a corresponding storage use, which reduces the effort accordingly. When the guide hole along its displacement has a curvature, so the corresponding pivotal movement of the adjusting screw, for example. By a Rounding of the supporting part in the area of the support of the adjusting screw be achieved. When the guide opening along the adjustment path the guide pin is preferably rectilinear, the adjusting screw experiences no tilting during the adjustment about an axis parallel to the awning axis, so that a corresponding Adjustment of the support member can be completely dispensed with.

Wenn das Tragteil vorzugsweise zwei Führungsöffnungen aufweist, kann die Verstelleinrichtung der im Betrieb unteren Führung zugeordnet sein. Da die Stellschraube dann besser zugänglich ist, wird die Bedienbarkeit insgesamt erleichtert, ohne daß ein Teil der Stellschraube nach unten aus dem Tragteil herausragt.If the support part preferably has two guide openings, the adjusting device can be assigned to the lower guide during operation be. Since the set screw is then more accessible, the overall operability is facilitated without a part the adjusting screw protrudes downwards out of the supporting part.

Der mit der Stellschraube zusammenwirkende Führungsstift muß in jedem Fall im Hinblick auf die Gewindebohrung einen ausreichenden Durchmesser aufweisen. Es kann daher zweckmäßig sein, wenn der Durchmesser des mit der Stellschraube zusammenwirkenden Führungsstifts größer ist als derjenige des anderen Führungsstifts.The co-operating with the screw guide pin must in in any case with regard to the threaded hole sufficient Have diameter. It may therefore be appropriate if the diameter of the guide pin cooperating with the adjusting screw is greater than that of the other leader.

View of a Gelenkarmträgers from the front, ie from the drop bar to the awning carrier.

Gezeigt ist jeweils ein Ausschnitt einer Gelenkarmmarkise im Bereich eines Gelenkarmträgers. Pro Gelenkarm ist ein derartiger Träger vorgesehen. Der Gelenkarmträger 10 verbindet den Gelenkarm 22 mit dem Markisenträger, der als Tragrohr 40 ausgeführt ist und der sich über die gesamte Markisenlänge erstreckt. An den Enden des Tragrohrs 40 ist der nicht gezeigte Tuchwickel gehalten. In Fig. 1 ist nur ein kurzes Stück des oberen Arms des Gelenkarms 22 gezeigt, und zwar in zwei unterschiedlichen, nämlich den äußersten Neigungspositionen, d.h. in der horizontalen Position 22a und in der demgegenüber um ca. 53° nach unten geneigten Position 22b.Shown in each case is a section of an articulated arm awning in the area a Gelenkarmträgers. Pro articulated arm is one such Carrier provided. The Gelenkarmträger 10 connects the articulated arm 22 with the awning support, which is designed as a support tube 40 is and extends over the entire awning length. At the ends of the support tube 40 is the cloth roll, not shown held. In Fig. 1 is only a short piece of the upper arm of Articulated arm 22 shown, in two different, namely the outermost inclination positions, i. in the horizontal Position 22a and in contrast to the inclined by about 53 ° down Position 22b.

Der Gelenkarm 22 ist drehbar um die Achse 33 an dem Armhalter 30 angelenkt. Der Armhalter 30 ist an dem Tragteil 26 mittels zweier als Klemmschrauben ausgeführter Führungsstifte 16, 18 (mit Unterlegscheiben 17, 19) festgeklemmt; zu diesem Zweck weist der Armhalter 30 entsprechende Gewindebohrungen 31, 32 auf. Der Gelenkarm 22 ist daher im vorliegenden Fall mittelbar (unter Zwischenschaltung des Armhalters 30) mit dem Tragteil 26 verbunden. Das Tragteil 26 ist entlang dem Tragrohr 40 verschiebbar und kann in einer geeigneten Position bspw. mittels einer Klemmschraube 42 festgeklemmt werden.The articulated arm 22 is rotatable about the axis 33 on the arm holder 30 hinged. The arm holder 30 is attached to the support member 26 by means of two as clamping screws executed guide pins 16, 18 (with Washers 17, 19) clamped; For this purpose, the Arm holder 30 corresponding threaded holes 31, 32. The articulated arm 22 is therefore indirect in the present case (with interposition the arm holder 30) is connected to the support member 26. The support member 26 is slidable along the support tube 40 and can in a suitable position, for example. By means of a clamping screw 42 are clamped.

Die als Klemmschrauben ausgeführten Führungsstifte 16, 18 sind in zwei entsprechenden bogenförmigen Führungsöffnungen 12, 14 in dem Tragteil 26 - zweckmäßigerweise paßgenau - geführt. Diese Führungsöffnungen 12, 14 haben unterschiedliche Radien, wobei dieses Merkmal nicht zwingend ist. Die den Führungsöffnungen zugrundeliegenden Kreismittelpunkte fallen auseinander, was im Vergleich zu der DE 38 04 150 A1 eine Vergrößerung des Schwenkbereichs und eine kompaktere Anordnung ermöglicht. Auch dieses Merkmal ist nicht zwingend. Die Führungsstifte 16, 18 sind in jeder Position parallel zur Markisenachse orientiert, d.h. im Betrieb gewöhnlich horizontal.The designed as clamping screws guide pins 16, 18 are in two corresponding arcuate guide openings 12, 14 in the support member 26 - expediently in registration - out. These Guide holes 12, 14 have different radii, wherein this feature is not mandatory. The underlying the guide holes Circle centers fall apart, which is in the Compared to DE 38 04 150 A1 an enlargement of the swivel range and a more compact arrangement allows. This too Characteristic is not mandatory. The guide pins 16, 18 are in each position oriented parallel to the awning axis, i. in the Operation usually horizontal.

Die horizontale Position 22a des Gelenkarms 22 entspricht dem Anschlag der Führungsstifte 16a, 18a an dem unteren Ende der Führungsöffnungen 12, 14; die nach unten geneigte Position 22b des Gelenkarms 22 entspricht dem Anschlag der Führungsstifte 16b, 18b an dem oberen Ende der Führungsöffnungen 12, 14.The horizontal position 22a of the articulated arm 22 corresponds to the Stop the guide pins 16 a, 18 a at the lower end of Guide openings 12, 14; the downwardly inclined position 22b the articulated arm 22 corresponds to the stop of the guide pins 16b, 18b at the upper end of the guide openings 12, 14th

Der Durchmesser des unteren Führungsstiftes 18 ist ausreichend groß für eine quer zur Stiftachse verlaufende Gewindebohrung 25. Aus diesem Grund ist der Durchmesser des unteren Führungsstifts 18 größer als der des oberen Führungsstiftes 16. In die Gewindebohrung 25 des unteren Führungsstiftes 18 ist die Stellschraube 20 eingeschraubt. An ihrem entgegengesetzten Ende ist die Stellschraube 20 in einer Bohrung 27 in dem Tragteil 26 gelagert und wird durch sie nach außen geführt. Die Bohrung 27 ist in der Ansicht gemäß Fig. 2 etwa mittig in dem Tragteil 26 angeordnet. Die Stellschraube 20 ist mittels ihres Schraubenkopfes 23 (bspw. M 8) an dem Tragteil 26 abgestützt. Sie wird durch das Gewicht des Gelenkarms 22, der Fallstange und des Markisentuchs in jeder Position des Führungsstifts 18 auf Zug belastet, wenn die Klemmschrauben 16, 18 gelockert sind. Die Bohrung 27 ist am unteren Ende der unteren Führungsöffnung 14 angeordnet, und zwar so, daß sie die beschriebene Schwenkbewegung der Stellschraube 20 um eine zur Markisenachse parallele Achse erlaubt. Sie kann zu diesem Zweck im Querschnitt bspw. oval geformt sein (mit Hauptachse in der Papierebene in Fig. 1); sie kann bspw. auch rund sein mit einem Durchmesser, der ausreichendes Spiel für die Stellschraube 20 läßt. Die Position der Gewindebohrung 25 in dem unteren Führungsstift 18 ist an die Position der Bohrung 27 in dem Tragteil angepaßt. Insbesondere muß in der Betriebsposition der untere Führungsstift 18 ausreichend weit in die untere Gewindebohrung 32 des Armhalters 30 eingeschraubt sein, aber noch nicht an dem Grund 35 der Gewindebohrung 32 anschlagen, da er sich bei seiner Verstellung ein wenig um seine Längsachse drehen können muß. Schließlich müssen in der Betriebsposition die Gewindebohrung 25 und die Bohrung 27 in dem Tragteil 26 etwa miteinander fluchten, so daß die Stellschraube 20 durch die Bohrung 27 in dem Tragteil 26 geführt und in die Gewindebohrung 25 in den unteren Führungsstift 18 eingeschraubt werden kann.The diameter of the lower guide pin 18 is sufficient large for a transverse to the pin axis threaded bore 25th For this reason, the diameter of the lower guide pin 18 larger than that of the upper guide pin 16. In the threaded hole 25 of the lower guide pin 18 is the set screw 20 screwed. At its opposite end is the set screw 20 mounted in a bore 27 in the support member 26 and is led through it to the outside. The bore 27 is in the view 2 arranged approximately centrally in the support member 26 as shown in FIG. The adjusting screw 20 is by means of its screw head 23 (eg. M 8) supported on the support member 26. It is by the weight the articulated arm 22, the drop bar and the awning cloth in each Position of the guide pin 18 loaded on train when the clamping screws 16, 18 are relaxed. The bore 27 is at the bottom End of the lower guide opening 14 arranged, in such a way that They described the pivotal movement of the screw 20 to a Axis parallel to the awning axis allowed. She can to this Purpose in cross-section, for example, be oval shaped (with main axis in the paper plane in Fig. 1); she can also be around with, for example a diameter sufficient play for the set screw 20 leaves. The position of the threaded hole 25 in the lower guide pin 18 is at the position of the bore 27 in the support member customized. In particular, must in the operating position of the lower Guide pin 18 far enough into the lower threaded hole Be screwed 32 of the arm holder 30, but not yet on the Reason 35 of the threaded hole 32 strike, since he is at his Adjustment must be able to rotate a little about its longitudinal axis. Finally, in the operating position, the threaded bore 25th and the bore 27 in the support member 26 are approximately aligned with each other, so that the adjusting screw 20 through the bore 27 in the support member 26 out and into the threaded hole 25 in the lower guide pin 18 can be screwed.

Durch Betätigen der Stellschraube 20 an dem Schraubenkopf 23 wird der untere Führungsstift 18 entlang der unteren Führungsöffnung 14 verschoben. Infolge der Zwangsführung wird auch der obere Führungsstift 16 entlang der oberen Führungsöffnung 12 geführt. Dadurch wird die Neigung des mit den Führungsstiften verbundenen Armhalters 30 und damit auch des Gelenkarms 22 verstellt. Wenn die Markise wie üblich zwei Gelenkarme aufweist, kann die Neigung des Markisentuchs durch Betätigung der beiden entsprechenden Verstelleinrichtungen eingestellt werden. Infolge der Bogenform der Führungsöffnung 18 vollzieht die Stellschraube 20 eine geringe Schwenkbewegung um eine zur Markisenachse parallele Achse. Um diese Bewegung zur ermöglichen, ist das Tragteil 26 im Bereich des Schraubenkopfes 23 konvex gerundet (s. Fig. 1).By actuating the adjusting screw 20 on the screw head 23 becomes the lower guide pin 18 along the lower guide opening 14 postponed. As a result of the obsession will also the upper guide pin 16 along the upper guide opening 12th guided. This will change the inclination of the guide pins connected arm holder 30 and thus also the articulated arm 22 adjusted. If, as usual, the awning has two articulated arms, can the inclination of the awning fabric by pressing the two corresponding adjustment can be adjusted. As a result the curved shape of the guide opening 18 completes the set screw 20 a small pivoting movement about a parallel to the awning axis Axis. To enable this movement, is the supporting part 26 convexly rounded in the region of the screw head 23 (see FIG. 1).

Die Montage eines Gelenkarms geht wie folgt vonstatten. Der untere Führungsstift 18 wird so weit in die untere Gewindebohrung 32 des Armhalters 30 geschraubt, bis seine Gewindebohrung 25 mit der Bohrung 27 in dem Tragteil 26 etwa fluchtet. Der untere Führungsstift 18 schlägt in dieser Position noch nicht an dem Grund 35 der Gewindebohrung 32 des Armhalters 30 an, damit die leichte Drehung des unteren Führungsstifts 18 bei einem Verstellen desselben möglich ist. Anschließend wird der untere Führungsstift 18 samt Armhalter 30 und Gelenkarm 32 durch die untere Führungsöffnung 14 gesteckt, die Stellschraube 20 durch die Bohrung 27 in dem Tragteil 26 gesteckt und in die Gewindebohrung 25 des unteren Führungsstifts 18 geschraubt. Danach wird der obere Führungsstift 16 mit Unterlegscheibe 17 durch die obere Führungsöffnung 12 gesteckt und in die obere Gewindebohrung 31 des Armhalters 30 geschraubt. Anschließend wird der untere Führungsstift 18 mit der Unterlegscheibe 34 und der Mutter 19 (bspw. M16) versehen.The assembly of an articulated arm is carried out as follows. The lower Guide pin 18 is so far in the lower threaded hole 32 of the arm holder 30 is screwed until its threaded bore 25 with the bore 27 in the support member 26 is approximately aligned. The lower guide pin 18 does not strike the ground yet in this position 35 of the threaded bore 32 of the arm holder 30, so that the light Rotation of the lower guide pin 18 at an adjustment thereof is possible. Subsequently, the lower guide pin 18 together with arm holder 30 and articulated arm 32 through the lower guide opening 14 inserted, the screw 20 through the hole Inserted 27 in the support member 26 and into the threaded bore 25 of screwed lower guide pin 18. Thereafter, the upper guide pin 16 with washer 17 through the upper guide opening 12 inserted and into the upper threaded bore 31 of the Arm holder 30 screwed. Subsequently, the lower guide pin 18 with the washer 34 and the nut 19 (eg. M16).

Zum Verstellen der Neigung der Gelenkarme wird folgendermaßen vorgegangen. Die Markise wird ausgefahren. Das weitere Vorgehen bezieht sich zunächst auf einen Gelenkarm. Der als Klemmschraube (bspw. M12) ausgeführte obere Führungsstift 16 sowie die Mutter 19 des unteren Führungsstifts 18 werden gelöst. Die Stellschraube 20 wird durch leichtes Anheben des Gelenkarms 22 entlastet und sodann durch Betätigung ihres Schraubenkopfes 23 in die eine oder andere Richtung verstellt, bis die gewünschte Neigung erreicht ist. Der als Klemmschraube ausgeführte obere Führungsstift 16 und die Mutter 19 des unteren Führungsstifts 18 werden angezogen, um den Armhalter 30 an dem Tragteil 26 festzuklemmen. Dadurch wird die Stellschraube 20 entlastet, so daß eine Belastung derselben nur während des Verstellvorgangs auftritt. Die gleiche Prozedur wird nun an dem anderen Gelenkarmträger durchgeführt.To adjust the inclination of the articulated arms is as follows proceed. The awning is extended. The further procedure initially refers to an articulated arm. The as a clamping screw (For example, M12) executed upper guide pin 16 and the mother 19 of the lower guide pin 18 are released. The adjusting screw 20 is relieved by slightly lifting the articulated arm 22 and then by pressing its screw head 23 in the one or otherwise adjusted until the desired inclination is reached is. The designed as a clamping screw upper guide pin 16 and the nut 19 of the lower guide pin 18 are tightened to clamp the arm holder 30 to the support member 26. As a result, the adjusting screw 20 is relieved, so that a load same occurs only during the adjustment process. The same procedure is now on the other Gelenkarmträger carried out.
