AWNING.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented. May 28, 1907.
Application filed 110 9 10,1965. Serial No. 282,136.
To a, whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BASTIAN DE YOUNG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Awnings, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to awnings provided with a roller on which the awning sheet is wound and includes a novel awning fixture and the combination therewith of the usual awning sheet and roller, and means for rotating the roller.
Heretof ore it has been impossible'to mount and successfully operate an awning having a roller of any very great length owing to the sagging of the roller between the supports if said supports were located many feet apart.
An object of this invention is to successfully mount and operate an awning having a roller of any length within the ordinary requirements for awnings in front of buildings.
With this invention a roller and body of awning of any length, up to and even more than one hundred feet without break or intermediate brackets, can be operated successfully and satisfactorily.
An object of this invention is to produce an awning which will be superior to all other awnings for extended fronts, in that it does away with the necessity of springs and center brackets as the cloth is all in one piece from end to end of the awning without limitation as to the length.
Additional objects are protection of the awning sheet or body from dust and weather when rolled up also cheapness and simplicity; also ease of installing the awning roller and sheet, and ease of operation for winding and unwinding the sheet.
Other ob'ects and advantages may appear from the following detailed description.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
Figure 1 is a fragmental perspective view of the awning in place on a building, fragments of which are shown. Fig. 2 is a cross section of the shield-sections and awning sheet and roller with an elevation of a set of bracket sections and a fragmental section of the wall of the building to which the awning is applied. Fig. 3 is a fragmental plan section of an awning in place on a building, a fragment of the wall of which is shown. Line x Fig. 2, indicates the line of section.
1 is the wall of a building, 2 bracket-sections fastened thereto by'lag screws 3 and 4.
5, designates up er and outer bracket-sections fastened to t e main bracket sections 2 by the lag screws 4.
Each of the main bracket sections 2 comprises a recessed body 6 and a recessed arm 7, and each of the upper or clamping bracket sections comprises a body 8 and a recessed arm 9. The main or supporting arms 7 of the under bracket sections are bent to form a recessed upper face a in which a bottom awn ing support and shield section 10 is seated. Each of the upper bracket arms 9 is bent to form a recessed face I) in which a top shield section 11 is mounted. The shield sections are spaced apart and a roller 12 is mounted in the recess or open space 13 between the shield sections 10 and 11.
14 designates the usual bearings and 15 the usual gear and adjuncts for mounting and rotating the roller. Said roller is formed of two longitudinal halves 0, (Z, each of which may be formed of one or more sections or splices e. In case more than one of such sections or splices are used the same are laid so as to break joints with those of the other half.
16 is the body of the awning 0r awning sheet extending in one unbroken piece from end to end of the building front, that is to be provided with the awning.
The lower shield section 10 terminates at the front in a lip 17 which is bent over downwardly to form a smooth ledge or support for the awning sheet 16. The upper shield section 11 terminates at its front edge approximately on a level with the axis of the roller in an upwardly curved lip 18 which may form a gutter open at its end to drain off rain and conduct it to the ends of the fixture, there discharge it. r
The shield sections 10 and 11 are preferably made of galvanized sheet steel or other suitable sheet metal and in actual practice are Ordinarily constructed of sheets of such material fastened together. since the length of any shield is usually greater than that of ob tainable sheet metal.
The shield sections are bent at their rear edges to fit in a recess 19 in the main bracket body 2.
20 is a wing into which the rear edge of the lower shield is bent to fit between the upper bracket member and the main bracket member. It is to be understood that one or both shields may be so bent, if desired, but that I deem it sufficient to thus bend but one of the shields.
To install the awning after the main brackets and lower shield sections are in place, the Workman will place one half of the roller 12 in the trough formed by the lower transversely curved trough-shaped section 10, and will tack or otherwise fasten one edge of the awning sheet thereto. Then the other half of the roller is tacked, nailed or otherwise fastened to the first half of said roller while the same is in the trough. By this means it is an easy matter to mount an awning of any required length.
In practical use, the shield protects against dust and rain to injure the sheet contained in the recess or chamber between the shield sections and the support formed at the slot or tect the same from the weather.
22 is a clamp point on the upper bracket sections 5 to enter the recess formed by the bent Wings of the rear edges of the shields.
The awning body is dropped from the top of the roller, and the support formed by the lip 17, holds the same away from and above the top of the window, or other opening, to which the awning is applied. In practice, the lower awning shield or support 10 does not cover or obstruct the opening to be shaded, and when the body of awning 16, is fully drawn up, it and the usual drop board 16 at the front edge thereof, will not be in position to cover the top part of the opening to the extent the same is covered by awnings of the usual construction, which will cover 8 inches of a window where my awning, set in a similar manner, would not cover more than 5 inches thereof.
What I claim is 1. An awning fixture provided with aroller and with shields extending over and under the roller, each terminating in front of the roller in curved lips, the upper one being curved upward approximately on a level with the axis of the roller and the lower one curved downward, thereby forming a gutter to protect the awning, and a support beneath said gutter for the awning, said awning being attached to the roller and extending between said gutter and support.
2. An awning fixture provided with a roller and a shield extending over the top of the roller and down in front of the upper part of the roller and terminating in an upwardlycurved lip that forms an open ended gutter aplproximately on a level with the axis of the r0 er.
