Definitions

  • FIG. 5 is a section taken along line 5-5 of FIG.
  • FIG. 11 is a fragmentary perspective view illustrating the torsion bar biasing means for the closure plate of the housing of the awning.
  • the closure panel is biased into its open position so that the attachment portions 52a and 52b at the ends of the rod do not normally extend in parallel relationship even though both are perpendicular to the length of the rod.
  • the attachment portion 52a which is connected to the end plate extends in a generally horizontal direction while the attachment portion 52b at the end connected to the top plate forms approximately a 45 angle with horizontal when the rod is not under a torsional strain.
  • the attachment portion 52b which is connected to the closure panel is moved through an angle so that it lies substantially parallel to the attachment portion 52a at the opposite end thereby placing the bar under a torsional strain which biases the panel to its open position.
  • a decorative valance 80 or the like also made of a sheet of fabric material has an edge with a closed loop 82 that is anchored in another of the elongated notches 74 by a retention rod 84. It will be appreciated, that with the plurality of open elongated notches in the roll bar, decorative valances or the like could be suspended from each notch if desired.
  • a plate member 86 conforming to the inner configuration of the roll bar 30 is positioned in a perpendicular relationship to the longitudinal axis of the roll bar near each end of the roll bar at a slight spacing therefrom.
  • Each of these plates has a collar 88 secured thereto so as to be concentric with the longitudinal axis of the roll bar and protrude toward the adjacent end of the roll bar.
  • This collar rotatably supports the inner end of a connector rod 90 which is used at each end of the roll bar to pivotally support a secondary brace member 34.
  • a coil spring 105 having an inner diameter slightly less than the diameter of the collar 88 and the reduced diameter portion 102b of the collar 102 is stretched onto and tightly received in a concentric manner at opposite ends upon each collar. It will be appreciated that since the connector rod 90 is rotatably received within the end of the roll bar 30, the roll bar can be rotated about the connector rod as the awning is being extended or retracted and the coil spring 104 is mounted so that upon extension'of the roll bar away from the housing 26 the coil spring is torsioned thereby causing it to grip the collars more and more tightly, so that it does not slip. When the roll bar is in the fully extended position of FIG. 2, the coil spring at each end of the roll bar is fully torsioned biasing the roll bar in a counterclockwise direction as viewed in FIGS. 2 or 3 so as to urge the roll bar toward the housing as it wraps the awning sheet 28 therearound.
  • the main brace members 32 include an extension or support portion 106 pivotally mounted within the housing for movement about a vertical axis and a pair of telescoping sections 108a and 10812 the innermost one 108a of which is pivotally mounted to the distal end of the extension portion 106 for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis.
  • the telescoping sections 108a and l08b are seen best in FIGS. 2 and 5 to be of square transverse cross section with the innermost section 108a having larger side dimensions than the outermost section 108b.
  • the secondary brace members 34 also consist of telescoping sections 118a and 118b of square transverse crosssection with the innermost section 118a being releasably connected to a bracket 120 mounted on the side wall 24 of the recreational vehicle and the outermost section pivotally connected to the connector rod 90.
  • the telescoping sections of the secondary brace members can be positively positioned in any longitudinal relationship with a set screw 122 of the type described in connection with the main brace members. Looking first at the outer end of the outermost section l18b of the secondary brace members, it will be appreciate'd, FIG. 9, that a plug 124 is inserted therein with the plug having two legs 125 extending along opposite sides of the outermost section along the inner surfaces of those sides.
  • the second or other leg 92b of the connector rod extends perpendicularly to first leg 92a since the connector rod 90 is of generally L-shaped configuration and the second leg extends into the side of the outermost section 1 18b so as to be rotatably received within a slot 127a provided in one side wall of the outermost section ll8b and openings 127b and 127C respectively in opposing legs of the plug.
  • a threaded opening 128 is preferably provided in the end of the second leg to receive a bolt member 129 which anchors the end of the second leg to the outermost section.
  • a roll pin 130 may also be inserted radially through the connector bar within the interior of the outermost section as a precautionary measure to prevent the second leg of the connector rod from being pulled out of the outermost section 11819.
  • the secondary brace members 118a and 118b are thereby swingable about the connector rods between a position in which they extend parallel to the roll bar 30, as when the assembly is in the retracted storage condition, and a position wherein they extend generally perpendicularly to the roll bar when the awning 20 is in the extended condition of FIG. 2.
  • the bracket 6 and 7 has a pin member 132 protruding therethrough to positively secure the end of the innermost section to the bracket on the recreational vehicle.
  • the bracket has a pair of mounting flanges 134 adapted to be secured to the recreational vehicle by screws 136 or the like, and an outwardly projecting head 138 having a transversely extending notch 140 therein which is of generally circular configuration and opens through a passage 142 in the head that is smaller than the diameter of the notch.
  • the pin member 132 has a shaft 144 including an enlarged head 146 on one end adapted to abut the outer surface of the innermost section 118a, an intermediate body portion 148 of reduced diameter relative to the head and a small diameter portion 150 connected to the intermediate portion by a beveled flange 152.
  • the intermediate portion 148 of the pin is received in an opening 154 in one side of the innermost section of the telescoping member and the small diameter portion 150 is received in an opening 156 on the opposite side of the innermost section.
  • a cap 158 is threaded onto the outer end of the small diameter section and serves as an abutment for a compression spring 160 which is concentrically mounted upon the small diameter portion of the pin between the outer wall of the innermost section and the cap.
  • the intermediate portion of the pin has a diameter which is approximately equal to but slightly smaller than the diameter of the notch 140 in the bracket 120 so as to be slidable axially thereinto while the small diameter portion of the pin is of a diameter which will slide laterally through the passage 142 in the head portion of the bracket.
  • the pin 132 of course is adapted to secure the innermost end of the secondary brace member to the bracket 120.
  • a pair of brackets 162 are mounted within the housing 26 at opposite ends thereof to support the working components of the awning when in the retracted storage position.
  • the brackets 162 are shown in FIG. 13 to include upper and lower horizontal legs 164 and 166 respectively each having a flange 168 at its rearwardmost end adapted to be anchored to the rear wall 38 of the housing as by attachment bolts 170 and a vertical leg 172 connecting an intermediate portion of the lower horizontal leg to the outer end of the upper horizontal leg.
  • an upwardly and forwardly projecting ear 174 is provided at the juncture of the vertical leg to the upper horizontal leg.
  • the forward end of the lower horizontal leg 166 of the bracket passes through a downwardly opening V-shaped curve 180 and has a twist lock fastener 182 mounted on the forward face thereof adapted to be received in an associated opening in the front wall 48 of the closure panel 44 of the housing. Accordingly, to secure the closure panel in the closed position of FIG. 13, the twist lock fastener 182 is inserted into the opening into the front wall of the closure panel 44 and twisted to releasably lock the closure panel to the bracket 162.
  • a retractable awning assembly adapted to extend outwardly from a generally vertical surface comprising in combination:
  • main brace members each having an inner end anchored to said housing and an outer end releasably connectable to an end of said roll bar to selectively retain the roll bar in a position spaced from the generally vertical surface, said main brace members being swingable into the housing for storage purposes, and
  • a pair of secondary brace members each having an outer end operably connected to one end of the roll bar and an inner end releasably connectable to said generally vertical surface at a location below said housing, said secondary brace members being swingable into said housing when the roll bar is positioned therein.
  • said torsion spring means includes two coil springs, one being mounted at -each end of the roll bar.
  • the retractable awning of claim 12 further including collar means on the interior portion of said connecting rods, said collar means annularly seating opposite ends of said coil springs whereby torsioning of said coil springs will cause the springs to grip the collars and rotatably bias the roll bar as the roll bar is rolled away from the generally vertical surface.
  • a roll bar movable from a position within the housing to a position spaced from the generally vertical surface, means securing an outer edge of the awning sheet to the roll bar so that the sheet can be wrapped around the roll bar when the bar is positioned within the housing and extended between the housing and the roll bar when the roll bar is positioned at a spaced location from the generally vertical surface, and
  • a first pair of brace members means interconnecting said housing and said roll bar and swingably mounting said first pair of brace members for pivotal movement into said housing regardless of the position of said roll bar, and,
  • a second pair of brace members adapted to interconnect said roll bar and said generally vertical surface at a location which is spaced beneath said housing and means swingably mounting said second pair of brace members with said roll bar for pivotal movement into parallel relationship with said roll bar while said roll bar is positioned at a location spaced from the generally vertical surface so that both said second pair of brace members and roll bar can be moved as a unit into said housing.
