Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is an improved folding awning, of the type including the features mentioned in the preamble of the main claim.
- Folding awnings are distinguished from those termed roll-up awnings in that, in the gathered position, that is, when the awning is in the non-operative position, the sheet of the awning is folded in pleats, suspended between adjacent cross-members, which are movable along a plurality of guides in order to bring the sheet from the gathered position to an extended operative position.
- the present invention is particularly, although not exclusively, suitable for folding awnings provided with horizontal or approximately horizontal guides.
- one solution to the problem provides for the use of a sheet which, in the extended position, is taut in the region of one lateral edge thereof, parallel to the guides, and slack in the region of the opposite lateral edge.
- the sheet having a length greater than the distance between the cross-members, is disposed so as to form a drainage channel extending between said cross-members and inclined from the taut edge towards the slack edge.
- each sheet has centrally fixed thereto a pipe that extends along the whole width of the sheet and is parallel to the mobile cross-members.
- the pipe in consequence of its weight, pushes downwards the central portion of the sheet in order to keep the sheet taut.
- the main drawback of the cover described in US 2004/003536 lies in the fact that the sheets are subject to flutter when subjected to the action of wind, and the pipes, being fixed exclusively to the corresponding sheets, are subject to move with the latter. That allows the wind to lift easily the central portion of each sheet prejudging the capacity of draining the water of the sheet.
- a folding awning comprising a support structure provided with a couple of longitudinal members that are parallel and connected to each other by means of two fixed transverse members, and an extensible sheet, that is placed above the longitudinal members and is provided with more folds so as to define more drainage channels extending transversally with respect to the longitudinal members.
- the sheet has, in correspondence of one of its lateral edges, more runners sliding within a guide provided on one of the longitudinal members, and is supported on the upper side by a plurality of longitudinal cables rigidly fixed at their ends to the two fixed transversal members of the support structure, parallel to the longitudinal members and inserted in correspondent eyelets provided on the folds of the sheet.
- the main problem of the awning described in FR 2840339 is due to the fact that the sheet, both in gathered position and in extended position, remains slack between the cables and the longitudinal members, since the latter are not able to exert any tensioning action on the sheet. Therefore, in presence of wind, the sheet is subject to swell and flutter involving a consequent high risk of deforming and breaking of the sheet.
- the principal problem of the present invention is that of providing an awning of the aforesaid type structurally and functionally designed in such a way as to make it possible to remedy the drawbacks mentioned with reference to the prior art cited.
- the reference 1 indicates as a whole an awning of the folding type with a support structure 1a formed by a pair of longitudinal members 2, each of which is supported by a pair of pillars 3, which bear on an area of ground S, holding up the awning 1.
- the awning 1 protects the area of ground S from the rays of the sun and from rainwater.
- the longitudinal members 2 are substantially parallel to the area of ground S.
- Supported between the guides 4 are cross-members 5, the first and the last of which, indicated respectively by 5a and 5b, respectively define a rear face and a front face of the awning 1.
- the cross-member 5a is fixed, while the cross-members 5, 5b are movable along the guides 4 between a first, gathered, position ( Figures 2 , 4 and 6 ) and a second, extended, position ( Figures 3 , 5 and 7 ).
- the awning 1, in general, may also be used in a semi-extended intermediate position, comprised between the first and the second position.
- a sheet 6 Secured to the cross-members 5, 5a, 5b is a sheet 6 delimited by a rear face edge 7a in the region of the cross-member 5a, a front edge 7b in the region of the cross-member 5b, and two lateral edges 8 in the region of the guides 4.

- Each of the portions 10a,b,c,d,e comprises two drainage sections extending respectively from a central region of the sheet 6 to each of the lateral edges 8.
- each drainage section the length of the sheet 6 in a plane XY transverse to the cross-members 5, 5a, 5b (plane of Figures 2-7 ) is greater than the distance between two consecutive cross-members 5, 5a, 5b, so as to form a drainage channel 12 between each pair of consecutive cross-members 5, 5a, 5b.
- the drainage channel 12 is bounded by two folds 13a,b of each portion 10a,b,c,d,e of the sheet 6, which are joined to each other by means of stitching, or by adhesive means, or by thermowelding in the region of a bottom line 16 of the drainage channel 12.
- the bottom line 16 is curved, with the concavity facing towards the area of ground S, and comprises two ends 14 in the region of the lateral edges 8 and a high point, in a central area of the sheet 6, which separates the two drainage sections from each other.

Abstract
Description
- The subject of the present invention is an improved folding awning, of the type including the features mentioned in the preamble of the main claim.
- Folding awnings are distinguished from those termed roll-up awnings in that, in the gathered position, that is, when the awning is in the non-operative position, the sheet of the awning is folded in pleats, suspended between adjacent cross-members, which are movable along a plurality of guides in order to bring the sheet from the gathered position to an extended operative position.
- The present invention is particularly, although not exclusively, suitable for folding awnings provided with horizontal or approximately horizontal guides.
- For such awnings with approximately horizontal guides there is in particular the problem of drainage of the water from the upper surface of the sheet.
- In known embodiments, one of which is shown in
Figure 1 , one solution to the problem provides for the use of a sheet which, in the extended position, is taut in the region of one lateral edge thereof, parallel to the guides, and slack in the region of the opposite lateral edge. In this way, at the slack edge, the sheet, having a length greater than the distance between the cross-members, is disposed so as to form a drainage channel extending between said cross-members and inclined from the taut edge towards the slack edge. - The main drawback of such a solution lies in the fact that in the region of the slack lateral edge the sheet is subject to the action of the wind also in the extended position.
- In particular, when the wind is strong, the drainage channel could be significantly deformed, so as to prejudice its drainage capacity.
- Furthermore, it is known from patent
US 2004/003536 a cover for greenhouses comprising a plurality of sheets, each of which is anchored at its edges to respective mobile cross-members. More in detail, each sheet has centrally fixed thereto a pipe that extends along the whole width of the sheet and is parallel to the mobile cross-members. The pipe, in consequence of its weight, pushes downwards the central portion of the sheet in order to keep the sheet taut. - The main drawback of the cover described in
US 2004/003536 lies in the fact that the sheets are subject to flutter when subjected to the action of wind, and the pipes, being fixed exclusively to the corresponding sheets, are subject to move with the latter. That allows the wind to lift easily the central portion of each sheet prejudging the capacity of draining the water of the sheet. - Another drawback is due to the fact that each sheet supports the whole weight of the pipe fixed thereto and thus the sheet is easily subject to tearing and breaking, in particular in presence of strong wind.
- Furthermore, it is known from patent
FR 2840339 - More in detail, the sheet has, in correspondence of one of its lateral edges, more runners sliding within a guide provided on one of the longitudinal members, and is supported on the upper side by a plurality of longitudinal cables rigidly fixed at their ends to the two fixed transversal members of the support structure, parallel to the longitudinal members and inserted in correspondent eyelets provided on the folds of the sheet.
- The main problem of the awning described in
