Description
- The present invention relates to an awning, and more specifically, to a enclosed retractable roll-style fabric awning assembly.
- Roll-style fabric awnings, so-called “roll awnings,” are commonly provided on recreational vehicles. Such awnings generally consist of a rotating spindle having a sheet of awning fabric attached and wound onto the spindle. The spindle is mounted along the top edge of an outside wall of a recreational vehicle. The awning is kept fully rolled up on the spindle while the vehicle is configured for traveling. The awning can then be extended by unrolling the fabric from the spindle and supporting its free end with a suitable support pole, bracket or other mechanism. One or more torsion assemblies are often provided in order to assist in the retraction of the awning, as well as to keep it taught will extended.
- Modern recreational vehicles are often equipped with slide-out rooms to allow for extra interior space when the vehicle is parked. Since the slide-out rooms normally have flat roofs, rainwater and debris can easily accumulate on their surfaces. In order to prevent this accumulation a slide-out room may be provided with a roll awning, acting as a so-called “slide topper,” that extends over the top of the roof sloping downward when the slide-out room is extended from the vehicle. An example of a slide topper is shown and described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,269,824 to Brutsaert.
- A problem associate with roll awnings its that, despite their usual downward slope, they tend to accumulate rainwater and debris. Thus, when the awning fabric is wound back onto the spindle, some of the rainwater and/or debris may be inadvertently wound into the roll. In order to prevent this, wipers or scrapers can be provided that clean the awning fabric as it is wound onto the spindle.
- The present invention provides a roll awning comprising: an enclosure; a cover member journalled within the enclosure; an aperture in the enclosure; and an awning fabric comprising a distal portion extending from the cover member through the aperture, the aperture being movable for following the distal portion of the awning fabric.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the roll awning ofFIG. 1 shown attached to a recreational vehicle and supported by a pair of arms. -
FIGS. 1 and 2 show an enclosedroll awning assembly 10 according to the present embodiment of the present invention. Theawning assembly 10 comprises anenclosure 12 and anawning fabric 14 extending outward through an elongated slit oraperture 16 in a sidewall of a hollow tube orcover member 18 of theenclosure 12. Theawning fabric 14 can be constructed of any suitable flexible sheet-like material including plastics, textiles, composite fabrics and the like. - The
enclosure 12 further comprises a pair ofend caps 20 covering the ends of thecover 18. Theend caps 20 are secured to arigid bracket 21 serving as a mounting structure, which can in turn be secured to a supporting structure, such as a wall of a recreational vehicle 50 (FIG. 6 ), or a building. Other suitable mounting structures can be used in place of thebracket 21. Further, the mounting structure could be made integral or otherwise incorporated into theend caps 20. - As best shown in
FIG. 2 , theenclosure 12 surrounds aroll assembly 22 comprising a roller tube orspindle 24 connected to aretraction assembly 26. Theretraction assembly 26 comprises a pair of torsion springs 28 (shown schematically) resiliently connecting apost 30 located at the end of theretraction assembly 26 to thespindle 24. Each of theposts 30 is fixedly pinned or otherwise attached to a respective one of theend caps 20. Thus, thespindle 24 is torsionally biased by theretraction assembly 26. Theawning fabric 14 is fixedly attached to thespindle 24 by way of afirst rod 32 that cooperates with a complementarylongitudinal groove 34 in thespindle 24. Theawning fabric 14 is wound onto thespindle 24 in an equilibrium state of thetorsion spring 28. As a distal orfree end 36 of theawning fabric 14 is pulled away from theroll assembly 22 by an operator, the torsional force of thetorsion spring 28 acts as an opposing force, keeping theawning fabric 14 taught and biased to a retracted or fully wound position. When the operator releases theawning fabric 14, it is automatically wound back onto thespindle 24. Alternatively, other means of retracting theawning fabric 14 could be used in place of theretraction assembly 26, such as a hand operated crank or a motor. - A
second rod 38 is provided at thefree end 36 of theawning fabric 14. Thesecond rod 38 has a diameter larger than the lateral width of theaperture 16, thus preventing thefree end 36 of theawning fabric 14 from being retracted into theenclosure 12. Thesecond rod 38 can be secured to a supporting structure such as one or more supporting poles (not shown). Thesecond rod 38 may also be secured to a slide out room of a recreational vehicle, such that the awning is extended over the roof of the room as it is slide out of the vehicle. - The
tube portion 18 of theenclosure 12 is journalled or rotatable coupled to theroll assembly 22 by a pair of pivot covers. The pivot covers 40 are generally disc-shaped members, each being carried on one of theposts 30 inserted through acentral hole 42 in thepivot cover 40, such that the pivot covers 40 may freely pivot or rotate about theposts 30. Thepivot covers 40 are fixedly attached to thecover 18 at each of its ends, supporting thecover 18 while allowing it to rotate freely about theroll assembly 22. As shown inFIGS. 3 and 4 , when thefree end 36 of theawning fabric 14 is at least partially extend through theaperture 16 away from theroll assembly 22, vertical displacement of thefree end 36 causes thetube portion 18 of theenclosure 12 to rotate correspondingly. Thus, theaperture 16 follows thefree end 36 of the awning fabric as it is moved up or down. Theaperture 16 is thereby automatically aligned with the pitch of thefree end 36 of theawning fabric 14, which is generally tangential to the rolled portion of thefabric 14. As theawning fabric 14 retracts into theenclosure 12, atop edge 44 of theaperture 16, acting as a sweep member, pushes or sweeps away any debris and/or liquid which may have accumulated on theawning fabric 14. Since theaperture 16 need only be large enough to accommodate theawning fabric 14, the interior of the enclosedroll awning assembly 10 is kept relatively free of debris and other contaminants. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , the enclosedroll awning assembly 10 can be used to provide a slide topper for a slide-outroom 46 of arecreational vehicle 48. Theawning fabric 14 extends over the roof of the slide-outroom 46. Thefree end 46 of theawning fabric 14 is attached to the top outside edge of the slide-outroom 46 so that as theroom 46 is extended or slid out, theawning fabric 14 is automatically extended while theaperture 16 follows the pull of thefabric 14. Likewise, as theroom 46 is retracted, theawning fabric 14 is automatically wound onto thespindle 24 while theaperture 16 follows the pull of thefabric 14. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , the enclosedroll awning assembly 10 can be also used to provide an awning on awall 50 of arecreational vehicle 52. A pair ofarms 54 pivotally attached to thewall 50 of thevehicle 52 support theawning fabric 14 at itsfree end 46. As thearms 54 are extended or pivoted outwardly, theawning fabric 14 is automatically extended while theaperture 16 follows the pull of thefabric 14. Likewise, as thearms 54 are retracted or pivoted inwardly, theawning fabric 14 is automatically wound onto thespindle 24 while theaperture 16 follows the pull of thefabric 14. - It should be evident that this disclosure is by way of example and that various changes may be made by adding, modifying or eliminating details without departing from the fair scope of the teaching contained in this disclosure. The invention is therefore not limited to particular details of this disclosure except to the extent that the following claims are necessarily so limited.
