United States Patent AWNING MEASURE MASTER Leo Aivaz, Sacramento, Calif.
Application June 27, 1955, SerialNo. 518,023
1 Claim. (Cl. 33-174) This invention relates. to a measuring device designed primarily for obtaining a perspective view of an awning when installed.
Another object of the invention is to provide means for determining the various correct measurements with respect to height, slope, etc. prior to the installation of the awning, thereby to insure an awning of the proper proportions, and an awning which will have a pleasing appearance suitable for use with a structure of particular architecture.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a measuring device of this character including telescoping sections with graduations and indicia thereon so that the sections of the measuring device may be adjusted to various lengths, and the lengths to which measuring device or arms have been adjusted, being readily determined.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the use of the measuring device forming the subject matter of the present invention.
Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the device, portions thereof being broken away to illustrate the telescoping sections of the instrument.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on line 44 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is an elevational view of a modified form of the invention.
Figure 6 is a view illustrating rectangular telescoping arms of the apparatus.
Figure 7 is a further modified form of the telescoping arm forming a part of the apparatus.
Figure 8 is a sectional view taken on line 8-8 of Figure 7.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the apparatus comprises a tubular section 5 in which the section 6 telescopes, the section 6 being in the form of a rod having graduations 7 arranged thereon. A wing nut 8 extends through a threaded opening in the tubular section 5, as better shown by Figure 2 of the drawings, and bears against the section 6, holding the section 6 in its various positions of adjustment within the tubular section 5.
One end of the tubular section 5 is cut away, providing spaced arms 9 in which the disc 10 is mounted, the ends of the arms 9 being pointed at 11 to cooperate with indicia 12 that are arranged on the disc 10 adjacent to the periphery thereof.
The reference character 13 indicates the forked end of the telescoping section 14 that fits into the tubular 2,830,374 Patented Apr. 15, 1958 "ice section 15, the section 14 being secured within the section 15 by means of the wing nut 16. The forked end 13 of the section 14 is connected to the shaft 17 on which the disc 10 is mounted, the shaft 17 also extending through the spaced arms 9.
The lower bar of the instrument embodies the telescoping sections 18 and 19, the section 18 being pivotally connected with one end of the tubular section 15, by means of the pin 20. Thus it will be seen that due to this construction, the various arms of the apparatus may be adjusted with respect to each other to various angular degrees to indicate height, slope and width, as desired, so that a person may form an idea as to the appearance ofthe awning by observing the apparatus after it has been adjusted in the construction of an awning of a particular. size and shape.
The telescoping sections 18 and 19 are provided with indicia 20 so that the telescoping sections may be adjusted with respect to each other, with a degree of accuracy.
A wing nut indicated at 21 is extended through a threaded bore in the section 18, as better shown by Figure 2 of the drawings, to hold the telescoping sections 18 and 19 in their positions of adjustment.
In the modified form of the invention as shown by Figure 5 of the drawings, the upper arm of the apparatus comprises telescoping sections 22 and 23 that are secured in their adjusted positions by wing nut 24. At one end of the section 22 is a graduated disc 25 pivotally supported thereon, the telescoping section 22 having an indicating pointer 26 cooperating with the indicia on the disc 25 in determining the proper angle for the upper arm of the apparatus.
The upper arm of the apparatus also includes telescoping sections 27 and 28 which are secured in their adjusted positions by means of the wing nut 29. The telescoping section 27 provides a support at one of its ends, for the graduated disc 30, and the end of the section 27 adjacent to the disc 30, is pointed at 31 to cooperate with the indicia on the disc 30 in determining angles of the upper arm of the instrument.
The instrument also includes a telescoping lower arm embodying sections 32 and 33, the sections 32 and 33 having graduations thereon which cooperate in regulating the movements of one section with respect to the other in adjusting the instrument for a particular size.
A wing nut 34 passes through a threaded opening in the section 32 and bears against the section 33 securing the sections 32 and 33 against movement with respect to each other.
Pivotally connected to one end of the section 32 is a tubular end section 35 in which the rod 36 extends, the rod 36 being pivotally connected with one end of the section 27, as better shown by Figure 5 of the drawings.
A wing nut 37 secures the sections 35 and 36 against movement with respect to each other, after an adjustment has been made.
In the form of the invention as shown by Figure 6 of the drawings, the upper and lower arms of the instrument are rectangular in formation and include a rectangular section 37' that moves into the hollow rectangular section 38, the sections 37' and 38 being provided with graduations that cooperate in determining distance.
In the form of the invention as shown by Figures 7 and 8 of the drawings, the upper and lower arms of the instrument may be constructed of a plurality of sections such as indicated at 39, 40 and 41, the sections telescoping as clearly shown by the drawings, and held in such adjusted telescoped positions by means of wing nuts 42.
From the foregoing it will be seen that due to the construction shown and described, I have provided an apparatus in the form of an instrument embodying telescoping upper and lower arms connected by means of a telescoping connecting arm, and a graduated disc movable between the adjacent ends of the upper arm and. end connecting arm so that the angular adjustment of the uppermost arm of the instrument may be adjusted to the desired degree so that the person using the instrument may obtain a perspective view of the awning when installed.
In the use of the device, the upper and lower arms of the instrument may. be adjusted to their approximate positions to indicate the shape of the awning. The device may now be held adjacent to a window wherein the awning is to be installed and a person can obtain a perspective of the awningwhen installed. It may be necessary to adjust theupper and lower arm sections of the device to provide a more pleasing awning, and this may be readily done by loosening the wing nuts and moving the telescoping sections of the arms accordingly. The nuts may then be tightened and the telescoping sections of the upper and lower arms of the device secured in their adjusted positions.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:
An awning measuring device comprising a lower telescoping arm including a first outer tube and a first inner tube, means for holding said first tube in any telescoped .4 position, means forming a first pivot connector at one end of said first outer tube, an end telescoping arm including a second outer tube and a second inner tube, means for holding said second tubes in any selected telescoped position, means forming a second pivot connector at one end of said second outer tube, a pivot pin joining said first and said second pivot connectors, an upper telescoping arm including a third outer tube and a third inner tube, means for holding said third tubes in any selected telescoped position, a fork at one end of said third outer tube, another fork at one end of said second inner tube, a pivot shaft joining said forks, an indicia disc mounted on said pivot shaft and situated between the tines of said forks, and means on said fork including a pointed extension of said tines beyond said shaft and overlying said disc for pointing to said indicia thereon.
