AWNING BRACKET Filed May 24, 1947 l ou ouooo.uunloooonu INVENTOR MARTIN HOELDTKE Patented June 14, 1949 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE AWNING BRACKET Martin Hoeldtke, St. Petersburg, Fla.
Application May 24, 1947, Serial No. 750,230
3 Claims. (01. 16023) This invention is concerned with the provision of an awning bracket of a type which may be attached to a trailer.
Broadly it is an object of this invention to provide an awning bracket of a type which may be attached to a trailer, said bracket carrying a roller arranged to conveniently roll or unroll awning material to or from said bracket roller, and having fastening means for said roller and awning material in either rolled or unrolled relation,
This invention resides substantially in the combination, construction, arrangement and relative location of parts, all in accordance with the disclosure herein.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a perspective, illustrating an embodiment of this invention with a trailer, and a use in connection therewith.
Figure 2 is an enlarged front elevation thereof.
Figure 3 is an enlarged end view thereof.
Figure 4 is a sectional view on the line 4-4 Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a detail elevation of the awning roller, which is telescopic for fitting to the bracket member.
The true nature and manner of use of a device in accordance with this invention will be best understood by a detailed description of the form thereof, shown in the drawings in an illustrative sense.
Now referring more particularly to the drawings A indicates, in general, the bracket portion which, as shown, comprises end members 2 substantially of quarter sphere shape, spaced by a longitudinal backing member 3 in fixed engagement therewith, said backing member being laterally and vertically extended beyond the end members, all as shown in the drawings and especially Figure 2, to form flanges 4 and 5, respectively, having apertures 6 for screw attachment of the bracket to the trailer, or other combining structure. Further spacing said end members 2, in fixed engagement therewith along the outer periphery thereof, one edge abutting the backing member 3, opposite edge portion forming a gutter 8 with open ends, and extended lateral to and outward from the lowermost edge of the periphery of the end members, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, to protect a drawn awning from excessive how of the elements thereon, is a hood member 9.
Extended from end to end of the above described bracket portion of this invention and journaled in the end members 2 thereof, is the awning roller It, the journaled ends of which extend outward beyond the bearing thereof, one end for fitting of a crank ll thereon for rolling or unrolling the awning, the opposite end being threaded for reception of a nut [2 which, when tightened, to the associated end member, by swinging thereover a slotted portion of a hasp member l4, hinged to said end member, is locked in said slotted portion which is retained in looking position to said nut by gravity.
With the above defined structure an awning may be drawn to any length. Although this provides a means for general locking of the roller and awning thereon, it is desirable that a means be provided for supporting the awning when drawn, as for example as shown in Figure 1, to relieve the roller from strain, especially during a storm, and to provide such means I provide a hook bolt l6 which when the awning is drawn, is adjusted to engage aperture I! in said awning and there be retained by screwing down the wing nut 18 on the threaded portion of said bolt and against the outer surface of the hood member 9 thru which said bolt protrudes. When desired to roll the awning up the nut I8 is released to permit the hook portion of the hook bolt to be disengaged from the awning aperture, awning is then rolled up by means of the crank ll, after which the hook bolt is raised to engagement with the rolled awning; as shown in dash lines in Figure 4, and there fastened by the wing nut l8, in a manner previously described.
Although in the drawing only one of the supporting hook bolts is shown, same being located longitudinally central as to the roller, this is not to be considered a limitation as the length of the roller determines the number of supporting members, and where two or more are used it is intended that they would be of substantial even spacing.
For handling of the hasp member M an angular lip 15 is formed therewith.
In production it is intended that all bracket members, that is end members 2, backing member 3, and hood member 9, will be unified by soldering, welding, brazing, riveting, or the like.
The drawing shows a backing member 3 that is slightly curved, this is to conform to the curve.- ture of the trailer surface shown in Figure 1, however, this is not to be considered as a limitation as it is intended also to use the bracket member in combination with structures having a straight plane.
From the above description it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the details of construction illustrated herein may readily be varied without departure from the novel subject matter herein disclosed. I do not, therefore, desire to be limited by the disclosure but rather by the claims granted me.
What is claimed is:
1. An awning structure having an inclosure formed by an attaching backing, ends, a forwardly and downwardly curved front and bottom, re.- spectively, a, trough at the lowermost portion: of the front and open adjacent to the ends, a roller journaled in the enclosure, the bottom being open, a flexible sheet-like awning section movable thru the opening in the bottom for winding on and from the roller, and adjustable hook bolt. means coacting with the enclosure and the roller for relieving strain upon the latter when the awning has been extended or retracted.
2. An awning structure having an inclosure formed by an attaching backing, ends, a forwardly and downwardly curved-front and bottom, respectively, a trough at the lowermost portion of the front and open adjacent to the ends, a roller journaled in the enclosure,- thebottom being open, a: flexible sheet-like awning section movable thru the opening in, the bottom for winding on and from'the roller, means suspended from the curved front and having adjustable engagement therewith' for coacting with the enclosure and the roller for relieving strain upon the latter when theawning has been extended or retracted and 4 means for operating the roller from without the enclosure.
3. An awning structure having an inclosure formed by an attaching backing, ends, a forwardly and downwardly curved front and bottom, respectively, a trough at the lowermost portion of the front and open adjacent to the ends, a roller journaled in the enclosure, the bottom being open next, to the gutter, a flexible sheet-like awning section movable thru the opening'in the bottom for winding on or from the roller, adjustable means coacting with the enclosure and the roller for relieving strain upon the latter when the awnin has been extended or retracted, means for operating the roller from without the enclosure and a releasable hasp at one end of the enclosure, and; means carried, by the journal of the roller next,to the hasp for latching thereby.
