her, for closingthe. opening in the housing Fig. 14: is a sectional view of thehousin taken on a line l4..l4f of Fig. 13.
Referring to the drawings'in detail, the housing 9 1s constructed .ofsheet metal and comprises a main portion and two legs fixed to the building in any suitablemanner. The main roller '10 on which the main portion 11 of the awning is taken up and paid out, is mounted within the main portion of the housing and is provided on each endwith a spindle 12, which spindles are rotatably 7 mounted on suitable brackets13andl4: fixed to the Window frame-or building adjacent to the window within the housing by suitable bolts or screws. The spindle onthe right of the structure, as illustrated in-the drawings, hasrigidly fixedthereto a drivinggear 15 which is in mesh with the gear l6,fmounted on the shaft 17, which shaft is rotatably mounted in the brackets 13 and 18, both of which are rigidly fixed to. the building. vThe shaft 17 at its opposite end is provided with a beveled gear 19 in mesh with the gear 20 onthe shaft 21, which shaft extends through.
the building as best shown in Fig. 1, and is;-
suitably connected with a reversible electric motor on the interior of the building for.
driving the same in either direction.
The main portion or front of the awning,
which, ofcourse, is made of the usual flexible material, is connected at'its free end to the,
front frame member 22 to which there is. connected near each end thereof side mem-' bers 23. Said side members in the modi fica'tionshown being constructed of a hollow slotted tube suitably connected to the collars 24 which collars are in turn rigidly fixed to the front frame memberQQ-by any suitable means, as cbest shown on Figures 7. and8. The opposite or inner. ends of said side members 23'is pivotally connected as best shown.
in Figs. 6 and7, to bifurcated brackets. 25 which brackets are in turnrigidly fixed to the window frame or building. 7 -From the description thus far itwill be seen that when the motor within the building isoperated in the proper direction the main roller 10 is driven in a manner to wind thereon the main portion of the awning,
which in turn draws up the front frame member and swings the outer end of the side members upwardly in the path of an arc;
while this operation is takingplace Ihave of the rolleris provided'with a spindle on which there is slidably mounted a beveled pinion 28 which pinion is adapted to move' into and out of mesh'with a comparatively large beveled gear 29,'mounted on the spintile 12 of the main roller. In the particular instance shown the ratio is about twoto one, that is, the gear 29 has about twice the diameter of the pinion 28, so that the side rollers 26 travel about one half as fast as the main roller 10. The lower outer free endof the side portions of the awning are secured by any suitable means to a sliding bracket 30 slidably mounted in the longitudinal slot in the side IIIBHlbBISrQEB, which members are interiorly provided with a comparatively small" slotted tube 31 secured by means of screws or the like to the lower side of the member's '23,'the brackets 30 being provided with upper and lower flanges 32 and 33, the upper one being adapted to engage the inner surface of the frame members 23 and the ,lower flange to ride or rest on the small tube "31 as best shown in Fig. 10. These bracket's have a downwardly extending portion 34 to which are attached flexible cords or the like 35. The opposite end of each :cord is V wound on a roller or shaft 35 'rotatably 7 the brackets 25 as best shown in Figs. 7and 8 and movethe upper arm of the lever inwardable brackets {30 serve an additional function for when they reach their limit of inwardmovem'ent the pins 37 carried thereby-engage the bell crank levers 38 which are pivoted on ly thus pulling down on the links or rods 39. The rods orlinks 39 are each provided at the upper ends with a head 40,-which' head is integrallyprovided 'wit'h bifurcated ="fingers 41, the hub 42 is rotatably' but nonsli'dably connected with the fingers 41 in any suitable manner, such for example, as the well known pin and .grooveconnection *best shown in Figs. 5 and 6. s As a result of this arrangement the downward movement of the link 39 moves the pinion 28 out of mesh with the large gear 29 and prevents further windin up of the sidev portion of the awning alt ough the winding operation of the i'nain portion of the awning will continue Lmtil it is completely wound and the frame members drawn into place within the houslVorkin 'or pulling against the free end of the side portion of the awning at all times are the'coiled spring motors 36in the front frame member 22, so that as soon as the lowering operation of the awning is started these coiled spring motors pullthe sliding brackets out of engagement with the bell crank levers 38 whereuponthe com ression springs-43 mounted around the inks or rods 39 and between the heads 40 and brackets 27 cause the heads 40 to move upwardly throwing the small pinion 28 in to mesh withgear 29, after which the side portions of the awning cannot be paid out faster than is permitted by the" travel of the motor. H
It will thus be seen that I have provided new, eflicient and novel means for winding up and paying out the side portions of the awning contemporaneously with the main' portion; that all the parts are driven from the interior of the building and," that the means for drawing up and paying out the side portions'of the awning are automatically engaged and disengaged.
The entire mechanism including the awning, front frame members and side frame members are, when in close position, drawn within the sheet metal housing '9, which housing is rigidly fixed to the building or window frame and comprises side members, a top member witha sufiicient-ly large slot or opening-to allow such parts to pass in and out, which opening or slot is best illustrated in Fig. 13 and .-is preferably -rovided with counter sunk edges as tiere shown.
In order to fully protect the awningandparts thereof after having been drawn within the housing, it is necessary to "close the slot or opening. This I accomplish by securing to the front framemembers and the side'frame membersa "closure or strip of metal 45 of the desired size to overlap the opening in the housingiprop'er, but to fit within the counter sunk edges so that the outer surface of the-housing will be jflush when the parts are" in proper position. This closure or strip is indicated by the refer-'' once 45 as best shown in Figs. '-'1,F3, 4, 6, 8
and 13. The stri is secured' direct lyto-the front frame m'eIn er by any suitable means, such as" screws, nails andthe like and to the side members by means of sheet metal brackets 46 as best shown in Figs; 4 and 9,
so that the strips of the side members are in alignment with the strip or closure on the front frame members.
While I have shownthe shaft for raising and lowering the awning driven by an electric motor, it can also be raised or lowered by means of a shaft running down near the floor and operated by a crank having a pinion in mesh with a pinion on such shaft.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. In an awning, the combination of a main roller, side rollers, a swinging awning frame comprising front and side members,
a flexible awning attached at one end to said frame and adapted to be wound on said rollers and means adapted to automatically disconnect the side rollers from the main rollers before the main portion of the awning has reached its closed position of rest.
