Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a terrace canopy.
- Various terrace canopies containing a series of slats or panels, the ends of which are borne between two horizontal profiles of the terrace canopy are already known.
- Typically, said known profiles are provided with one or more rain gutters for capturing and carrying off the rainwater that falls on the canopy.
- The slats and/or panels are made such that the water is carried off such that the largest quantity of water that falls on the slats and/or panels is carried off to the lowest located end of the slats and/or panels and ends up in the associated rain gutter.
- Typically, the aforementioned rain gutters are U-shaped and are connected to a drain at the end faces for carrying off the rainwater from the rain gutter.
- Typically, said drain is oriented perpendicularly relative to the rain gutter to which the drain is connected.
- The sizing of the rain gutters is adjustable and is usually based on applicable standards, better known as storm water pipe sizing.
- The known terrace canopy is usually open on the sides. Consequently the outside temperature comes into contact with the upperside and underside of the panels or slats of the terrace canopy.
- It is known that condensate, inter alia, may occur on the underside of said panels.
- A disadvantage of this is that said condensate forms droplets of water that will fall down and end up on a user of the terrace canopy. In addition, said droplets may also fall on furniture or other objects under the terrace canopy.
- The purpose of the present invention is to provide a solution to at least one of the aforementioned and other disadvantages.
- To this end, the invention relates to a terrace canopy with a series of slats or panels that extend between two horizontal profiles of the terrace canopy, whereby at least one of said profiles is provided with a rain gutter extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile for capturing and carrying off the rainwater that falls on the canopy, and whereby the rain gutter contains at least one upright edge, whereby the upright edge is provided with at least one lip that reaches to slats or panels of the terrace canopy, and whereby a condensation gutter is provided at the upright edge with lip for capturing condensate, said condensation gutter extending next to and parallel with the rain gutter.
- The advantage of the aforementioned lip is that it serves as a seal to make the underside of the slats or panels lightproof and/or airtight and/or watertight. For example against water splashing up from the underlying rain gutter.
- An additional advantage is that the lip prevents said water and/or fluid and/or condensate on the upperside of the slats or panels of the terrace canopy moving to the underside of the slats or panels.
- Yet another additional advantage is that the condensate that forms on the underside of the slats or panels is carried off via the aforementioned lip to the condensation gutter.
- Said condensation gutter will capture and laterally carry off the water or condensate.
- Preferably, the condensation gutter is mounted to the rain gutter. Or is part of it.
- Preferably, the condensation gutter protrudes height-wise over at least a part of the rain gutter. In a preferred embodiment the condensation gutter protrudes height-wise for at least a quarter, more preferably at least a third and most preferably at least half.
- In an alternative embodiment the upright edge contains as many lips as the number of slats or panels of the terrace canopy. In this case the lips can be distributed over the upright edge such that each slat or each panel only comes into contact with one lip.
The aforementioned profile and the rain gutter and the condensation gutter can be separately manufactured and can be detachably mounted to each other. - Consequently, the aforementioned rain gutter and/or condensation gutter can, if necessary, be easily replaced.
- With the intention of better showing the characteristics of the invention, a few preferred embodiments of a terrace canopy according to the invention are described hereinafter by way of an example, without any limiting nature, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

upright edge 10 contains asmany lips 11 as the number of slats 2 orpanels 3 of the terrace canopy 1 and thelips 11 are distributed over theupright edge 10 such that every slat 2 or everypanel 3 only comes into contact with onelip 11. - In this case each
lip 11 has the same breadth as the relevant slat 2 or therelevant panel 3, whereby the condensate of each slat 2 orpanel 3 is carried off to thecondensation gutter 12 by means of theassociated lip 11. - In yet another alternative embodiment the
aforementioned lip 11 extends along the entireupright edge 10 or rain gutter 7. However, thelip 11 is not necessarily executed in one piece. Thelip 11 can also be divided into several parts. For example in parts that come into contact with the underside of thepanels 3 and in parts that come into contact with the support profiles 5 on which thepanels 3 support. - Preferably, the end faces of both the rain gutter 7 and the
condensation gutter 12 discharge into adrain 13. Preferably, saiddrain 13 runs transversely relative to the relevant rain gutter 7 and/orcondensation gutter 12 to which thedrain 13 is connected. - In a preferred embodiment, the
aforementioned profile 4 and the rain gutter 7 are manufactured in one piece. However, alternatively it is also possible that theaforementioned profile 4 and the rain gutter 7 are manufactured separately and are detachably mounted to each other or can be detachably mounted to each other. - Preferably, the slats 2 and/or
panels 3 of the terrace canopy 1 are made such that the water is carried off. - The aforementioned slats 2, as shown in figure 4, can be rotatably mounted. Said slats 2 can rotate between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position the slats 2 are located in a flat position whereby the slats 2 fit against each other such that there are no gaps between two adjoining slats 2.
