ALFRED L. SABEY, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO FREDERICK F. SABEY, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.

AWNING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 737,666, dated September 1, 1903.

Application filed October 22, 1902- Serial No. 128,218. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALFRED L. SABEY, a resident of Rochester, in the county of Mon roe and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Awnings; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the inven tion, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to devices for supporting and for raising and loweringawnings, and has for its object to provide simple and efficient devices easy of application and not liable to break windows nor unnecessarily mar the woodwork which supports the awning.

The invention consists in the construction hereinafter described and pointed out.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of an awning. Fig. 2 is a section showing the hinge connection of the awning-frame fixture. Fig. 3 is a perspective of a-modified form of the fixture. Figs. 4 and 5 are respectively a side elevation and plan of the separate parts of the fixture shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 6 is a perspective of a one-part awning-fixture. Fig. 7 is a perspective of a pulley-supporting hook. Fig. 8 is a rear elevation of the awning, the frame of which is partly indicated in section and the pulleysupports and cord-guides shown in full lines. Fig. 9 is a perspective of a modified form of pulley-support. V

Numeral 1 denotes an awning, 2 its supporting-rod, and 3 a main support, such as a window casing, frame, or the like.

4 and 5 denote, respectively, fixed and movable parts and members of supporting devices especially applicable to awnings, butcapable of other uses. The member 4 is provided with a rod-supporting hook 6 and with wings or extensions 7, provided with two or more holes for attachment of the device by means of screws or the like tothe structure upon which the awning is applied. Ordinarily any of the movable parts can be adjusted without a tool, or if a tool is used it is only necessary to strike light blows to bring said part to the required position. This leaves the workman to be connected to the strips.

putting up the awning comparatively free to temporarily support and handle the awning while standing on a step-ladder or the like.

The swinging member 5 may be made to extend outwardly beyond the part 4, whereby it is adapted to swing over the awning-rod after it has been placed on its supportinghook.

As shown in Fig. 6, an awning-fixture is made in one piece and the awning-holding rod secured in the integral seat by a screw 11.

The improved awning-supports can be left in place when the awnings are not in use, or if removed can afterward be replaced, using the same holes as before, thus avoiding marring the window-frames or other structure.

To avoid breakage of windows by the pulleys of the awning-elevating device and also the entangling of the cords 14, the pulleys are connected to the awning-rod by hooks 13 and the cords run through open rings 15 to their connection with the lower awning-rod 16. The pulley-hooks may be made of wire, as indicated at 19, and placed upon or sprung over the awning-rod, or they may be in the form shown at 20, Fig. 1, and fastened upon the rod by screws 21. These pulley-hooks are provided with pulley-supports, such as the rings shown in Fig. 7, or the perforated pendant shown in Fig. 9 for the attachment of a chain or link.

17 denotes strips secured to the awning at suitable intervals, Where guide-rings are connected therewith. The rings are made with an opening 18 sufficient to permit the ring It is not essential that these devices 15 be circular or of exact ring form, and a D form or other equivalent may be employed.

By the devices described the pulleys are kept close to the awning-rod and cannot be thrown against a window and the cords are also so confined as to avoid all entanglement.

using a link connection between the pulleys and hooks, as shown in Fig. 9, and split rings that are of easy application to the awning by means of strips attached thereto at intervals. This construction while holding the rings with entire security allows them limited freedom of movement that obviates tearing the awning, as happens when rings are fixed directly to them.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The awning-support comprising upper and lower hooks to provide a rod-seat, and a set-screw screwing through one of the hooks, to urge the rod to the rear of said seat.

2. The awning-support comprising upper and lower hooks to provide a rod-seat, and a set-screw screwing through the front of the upper hook, to urge the rod to the rear of said seat.

3. The awning-support comprising upper and lower hooks to provide a rod-seat, and a set-screw screwing through one of the hooks, to urge the rod to the rear of said seat, one of said hooks-being separately movable and provided with a screw to fasten it in operative.

relation to the other.

4. The awning-support comprising upper and lower hooks to provide a rod-seat, and a set-screw screwing through one of the hooks to urge the rod to the rear of said seat, said hooks having a sliding connection with each other and means for fixing them together.

5. The combination with an awning, of an awning-rod, pulley-hooks, pulleys, pulleycords, guide-rings for the cords and a strip secured to the awning at intervals and loosely holding the rings.

6. The combination with an awning, of an awning rod, pulley hooks, pulleys, pulleycords, guide-rings for the cords and a strip secured to the awning at intervals and loosely holding the rings said rings being split for easy application to the strips.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
