(ox. al1-180) This invention relates to canopy awnings and the primary object of the invention is to provide a canopy awning adapted to be supported in folded and in extended position on clothes lines attached to cross arms secured to oppositely arranged posts similar to clothes line supporting means of the kind described and shown in the copending patent application Serial No. 794,284, which has matured into Patent No. 2,576,805 of November 27, 1951.
A further object of the invention is to provide a canopy awning of the character indicated above, wherein the awning material is equipped adjacent each of its ends with a stifening member extending transversely of said material and adapted to be releasably secured by any conventional means to the cross arms on the clothes line poles.
Another object of the invention is to provide a canopy awning of the character indicated above, wherein the awning material is provided adjacent to each of its longitudinal edges with a plurality of spring rings or the like adapted to be snapped onto the outside clothes lines supported by the cross arms secured to the clothes line posts, so that the awning material is attached slidably and removably to said clothes lines.
An additional object of the invention is to provide a canopy awning of the character indicated above, the intermediate portion of which is supported by the intermediate clothes lines secured to the cross arms on the clothes line posts, so that said awning portion is prevented from sagging and that the clothes lines, when not in use for the purpose of supporting clothes, are protected against being soiled by soot or the like.
Other objects of the invention not specifically mentioned may appear in the following specification describing the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating a preferred embodiment of the invention, which resides in the details of construction and the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more fully set forth. It is, however, to be understood, that the invention is not to be limited or restricted to the exact construction and combination of parts described in the specification and shown in the drawings, but that such changes and modifications can be made, which fall within the scope oi the claim appended hereto.
In the several figures of the drawings similar parts are indicated by similar reference characters and wherein:
Figure 1 is a view in top plan of a canopy awning constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 2 is a detail section on an enlarged scale taken substantially on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.
The canopy awning herein embodied comprises a pair of spaced apart, oppositely arranged supports S, preferably similar to the clothes line post shown and described in the copending patent application Serial No. 794,284.
Each support S consists substantially of an upright post I0 supporting a cross arm II. A plurality of flexible elements I2, such as clothes lines or the like, are secured to the oppositely arranged cross arms by means of spring biased hook rods I3 extending diametrically through said cross arms whereby the clothes lines I2 are held taut between the two cross arms.
A canopy awning body I4 is made from an elongated rectangular piece of awning cloth I5. Adjacent to each cross edge of said cloth piece and at suitable intervals between said edges stiiening members I6 are attached to the awning body and are made from any suitable conventional material such as a piece of tubing or the like. The stiiening members I6 may be secured to the awning member I4 in any conventional manner, but preferably a transversely extending pocket I'I is formed in the body I4 and at suitable intervals between said edges and in each of these pockets I 'I one of the stiifening members- I6 is inserted. The awning body I4 is arranged over the clothes lines I2 and its end portions are removably secured to the cross arms I I by means of light ropes I8 or the like. Secured to the under side of the awning body I 4 are longitudinal rows of equidistantly spaced spring rings I9, one row for each of said flexible elements I2, which are adapted to be snapped onto the latter so that they are slidably and removably mounted thereon. In this manner the awning body I 4 is secured onto the supports S so that it is adapted to be extended over the area between the two supports.
3 A stretched taut between said cross bars and secured to each aligned pairs of said eyebolts, an awning supported on said flexible elements. tie elements secured to the lower side of the opposite ends of said awning to fasten the same to said cross bars, ring elements carried by the under side of said awning and engaged with said exible elements whereby the awning may be slid endwise along the same toward one of said cross bars, upon the release of said securing means of the awning from the other of the cross bars, to expose the flexible elements for use as clothes lines, spaced pockets formed transversely on the lower side of the awning, and a rod housed within each of said pockets to maintain the awning taut crosswise of said flexible elements.
