Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an awning, in particular a vertical awning, and a method for mounting such an awning. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

[0002] A well-known problem with awnings is that the roller tube sags due to the weight of the fabric, the tension of the fabric and its own weight, especially with long roller tubes or wide awnings.

[0003] WO 98 / 29620 proposes that the roller shaft be supported by a resilient, resilient support to prevent deflection. Depending on the winding state, the roller shaft can rest on a section of the box, preventing deflection.

[0004] Such bearings exert a load that must be dissipated. Special support structures, such as support bodies mounted in the box, are typically provided for this purpose. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005] Against this background, the present invention is based on the object of providing an improved awning with a simplified load transfer for supporting the awning shaft.

[0006] According to the invention, this object is achieved by an awning having the features of patent claim 1 and / or by a method having the features of patent claim 13.

[0007] Accordingly, it is provided: Awning, in particular a vertical awning, comprising: an awning shaft designed for winding and unwinding an awning fabric; an awning box with a profile base body designed for attachment to a mounting surface; a shaft bearing designed to be attachable to the profile base body for floating mounting of the awning shaft; and a cover profile designed to cover and support the awning shaft and the awning fabric, wherein the cover profile and the profile base body are designed to be reversibly connectable to one another via a double hook closure.Method for mounting an awning, in particular a vertical awning, in particular according to one of the preceding claims, comprising the steps of: fastening a profile base body of an awning box with its mounting side to a mounting surface; inserting an awning shaft, which is designed for winding and unwinding an awning fabric, together with a shaft bearing mounted thereon, which is designed for floating mounting of the awning shaft, into the profile base body; coupling the shaft bearing to the profile base body; and closing a visible side of the awning box with a cover profile, which is reversibly connected to the profile base body via a double hook closure in such a way that it covers and mechanically supports the awning shaft and the awning fabric.

[0008] The finding underlying the present invention is that by eliminating additional support bodies, less installation space is required and thus an awning box can be made smaller.

[0009] The idea underlying the present invention is to transfer the loads of the shaft support directly via the awning box by means of a cover profile that absorbs the loads and transfers them via a double hook closure to a profile base body that is attached to a mounting surface.

[0010] The double hook lock is simultaneously secured in the closed position by the load applied to the cover profile by the awning shaft and the awning fabric, collectively referred to as the fabric bale. Compared to a conventional hinge or a simple hook lock, the double hook lock features a much stiffer connection, which reliably absorbs moments.

[0011] A double hook fastener is an at least two-stage hook connection between the profile base body and the cover profile, which is formed with at least two hooks of the profile base body and the cover profile that are consecutive in cross-section. In this way, a double hook fastener transmits both forces and moments with a stiffness that essentially corresponds to the overall profile stiffness. Therefore, the invention advantageously enables load transfer via the cover profile without additional components within the awning box.

[0012] In one embodiment, more than two, i.e., three or more, hook fasteners would be conceivable. The double hook fastener is thus to be understood in particular as a multiple hook fastener, with at least double, possibly triple, or generally multiple hook fasteners.

[0013] In particular, the double hook fastener extends over the entire length of the profile, ensuring even load distribution across the entire length of the awning box. The double hook fastener is therefore specifically a profile fastener or double hook profile fastener.

[0014] The invention makes the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the awning particularly easy, as the cover profile can be connected to or detached from the profile base body in a single step: connecting or disconnecting the double hook fastener. The awning shaft and fabric can thus be easily covered and mechanically supported for installation, or exposed for disassembly or maintenance.

[0015] According to the invention, the fastening of the awning box is also made easier because the installation space of the awning shaft can be used for fastening before insertion.

[0016] Furthermore, without the cover profile, the entire awning shaft, including the shaft bearing, can be easily inserted through the opening in the awning box, which can be closed with the cover profile, especially from the front. This avoids the laborious task of inserting the awning shaft sideways into the awning box.

[0017] Advantageous embodiments and further developments emerge from the further subclaims and from the description with reference to the figures of the drawing.

[0018] According to an advantageous embodiment, the cover profile has an inner sliding sleeve on which the awning fabric, in the partially or fully wound state, rests together with the awning shaft to prevent sagging. The awning shaft can be displaced along the sliding sleeve, particularly horizontally. A sliding sleeve can be understood as a variety of internal sliding surfaces, for example, an insert, a molded, glued, or otherwise internally attached sliding surface element, or possibly also a friction-reduced sliding coating.

[0019] According to an advantageous embodiment, the profile base body has an overhang on one visible side. The visible side is opposite a mounting side or perpendicular to a mounting side (M). An inwardly projecting double hook extension of the double hook fastener is formed beneath the overhang. Advantageously, the double hook fastener is thus invisibly covered from the outside by the overhang when mounted. Furthermore, the penetration of water or dirt into or onto the double hook fastener is effectively prevented. Advantageously, the awning fabric is thus effectively protected against moisture penetration, thus effectively preventing wear, staining, and the like.

[0020] The projection and / or the double hook extension are in particular formed integrally or in one piece with the profile base body.

[0021] According to an advantageous embodiment, the double hook extension of the profile base body protrudes diagonally inwards towards the visible side. On the one hand, the diagonal orientation facilitates the closing and, if necessary, opening of the double hook fastener from an ergonomic point of view, as this corresponds to a simplified direction of force application by an installer. Furthermore, the diagonal positioning serves to improve the force introduction of the load applied by the awning shaft and the awning fabric and transmitted via the double hook fastener from the double hook extension into the remaining profile base body. In particular, this makes it possible to avoid a notch effect at the transition, for which purpose the transition from the double hook extension to the remaining profile base body can additionally be designed with a radius.

[0022] According to an advantageous embodiment, the cover profile, together with the overhang, covers the visible side, in particular at least partially in a common plane. In particular, the overhang continues downward at its front end, so that it at least partially covers the double hook closure from the visible side as well. This ensures a uniform external appearance of the awning box despite the two-part design and the division on the visible side.

[0023] According to an advantageous embodiment, the cover profile is designed with a double-hook extension of the double-hook fastener that can be inserted under the projection. The double-hook fastener is thus covered by the projection and not visible from the outside.

[0024] According to an advantageous embodiment, the double hook extension of the cover profile protrudes diagonally inward toward the mounting side, particularly corresponding to the double hook extension of the profile base body. From an ergonomic perspective, this diagonal orientation facilitates the closing and, if necessary, opening of the double hook fastener, as it simplifies the direction in which an installer can apply force to the cover profile. Due to the proximity to the wall, a purely vertical application of force would be more difficult, for example.

[0025] According to an advantageous embodiment, the double hook fastener can be reversibly opened and closed by a linear displacement of the cover profile relative to the profile base body. In particular, a relative linear displacement of the cover profile in a direction oblique to the visible side and / or mounting side is provided. The intended direction corresponds in particular to an alignment of the hooks of the double hook fastener. Thus, the double hook fastener can be reversibly closed and opened in a simple manner with a predetermined application of force, in particular without tools. This is particularly advantageous because it is possible over the entire profile length in just one step. In addition, the awning shaft or the supported fabric bale supported by the cover profile additionally secures the closed double hook fastener, since the weight counteracts any diagonally upward movement that would be necessary to open the double hook fastener.

[0026] According to an advantageous embodiment, the double hook closure comprises two hook closures arranged one after the other in cross-section. In particular, these are an upper hook closure and a lower hook closure, whereby, alternatively or additionally, a lateral offset of the hook closures can also be provided. The double hook closure is thus designed not only to support forces, but also to support a moment, in particular a moment resulting from the support of the awning shaft and the awning fabric by means of the cover profile, as well as any dynamic moments arising from friction or the drive torque of the awning motor.

[0027] According to an advantageous embodiment, the shaft bearing has a pivot arm along which the awning shaft is mounted for longitudinal displacement. The pivot arm is rotatably coupled to a fixed point of the awning box, in particular of the profile base body. In this way, pivoting the pivot arm enables not only vertical but also lateral radial displacement. Due to the longitudinal displaceability, which can compensate for a stroke of the pivoting movement, the lateral displacement can also occur independently of a vertical displacement. Preferably, the pivot arm is rotatably mounted at a first end in an upper corner region of the awning box, in particular of the profile base body, facing the mounting side. In this way, the length of the pivot arm is available for longitudinal displacement along the pivot arm.

[0028] According to an advantageous embodiment, the rotatable mounting of the shaft bearing is designed to be reversibly detachable for assembly or disassembly, in particular with a bolt removably attached in the awning box, preferably in the profile base body, as the axis of rotation. Advantageously, the space required for the awning shaft (and the awning fabric or the fabric bale) can thus be used for the assembly or disassembly of other elements, in particular the awning box. The awning shaft (and the awning fabric or the fabric bale) can thus only be inserted subsequently, after the awning box or the profile base body of the awning box has been mounted on a mounting surface.

[0029] According to an advantageous embodiment, the cover profile is arranged in an area of the awning box opposite the first end of the pivot arm. Thus, the cover profile is positioned in the area of the second end to support the awning shaft. Advantageously, the cover profile can thus absorb the supporting load directly on the awning shaft (and on the awning fabric or fabric roll).

[0030] According to an advantageous embodiment of the assembly method, the opened awning box is attached to a mounting surface by means of fastening means introduced from the inside of the awning box through the awning box, in particular through the profile base body, and into the mounting surface. In this way, the installation space inside the awning box can initially be used for fastening or for tool-accessible fastening means. The awning shaft or fabric roll, preferably including the shaft bearing, can then be easily inserted into the awning box, in particular from the front. Advantageously, no lateral insertion or axial passage along the entire length of the awning shaft is necessary.

[0031] According to an advantageous embodiment of the assembly method, the double-hook fastener is reversibly closed by a linear displacement of the cover profile relative to the profile base body, in particular in a direction oblique to the visible side and / or assembly side. The intended direction corresponds in particular to an alignment of the hooks of the double-hook fastener. Thus, the double-hook fastener can be reversibly closed and released in a simple manner with a predetermined application of force, in particular without tools. This is particularly advantageous because it is possible over the entire profile length in just one step. In addition, the awning shaft or the supported fabric bale supported by the cover profile additionally secures the closed double-hook fastener, since the weight counteracts any diagonally upward movement that would be necessary to open the double-hook fastener.

[0032] The above embodiments and developments can be combined with one another as desired, where appropriate. In particular, all features of the awning are transferable to the method for installing an awning, and vice versa. Further possible embodiments, developments, and implementations of the invention also include combinations of features of the invention not explicitly mentioned above or described below with respect to the exemplary embodiments. In particular, the person skilled in the art will also add individual aspects as improvements or additions to the respective basic form of the present invention. TABLE OF CONTENTS OF THE DRAWING

[0033] The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in the schematic figures of the drawing. In the drawings: Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of an awning in a side view; Fig. 2 is a schematic side view of an awning according to a further embodiment; Fig. 3A is a schematic representation of the steps for assembling an awning; Fig. 4A is a schematic representation of steps for assembling an awning according to a further embodiment; Fig. 5 is a side view of an awning according to a further embodiment; Fig. 6 is the awning according to Fig. 5 in a perspective view; and Fig. 7The view according to Fig. 6 with hidden shaft bearing.

[0034] The accompanying drawing figures are intended to provide a further understanding of embodiments of the invention. They illustrate embodiments and, in conjunction with the description, serve to explain principles and concepts of the invention. Other embodiments and many of the noted advantages will be apparent upon reference to the drawings. Elements of the drawings are not necessarily shown to scale relative to one another.

[0035] In the figures of the drawing, identical, functionally identical and acting elements, features and components are provided with the same reference symbols, unless otherwise stated. DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0036] Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of an awning 1 in a side view.

[0037] Since the following figures are each side views of an end region of a shaft, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that a second side is designed in the same way at a second end region of the shaft.

[0038] The awning 1 shown is a vertical awning, such as one that can be used for a patio roof, a conservatory, a window, a patio door, a glass facade, a patio glazing, or the like. Depending on the installation situation, the awning can be mounted on a suitable, usually vertical or horizontal, mounting surface.

[0039] The awning has an awning shaft 2 that supports the awning fabric and is designed to wind and unwind the awning fabric 3. In particular, the awning shaft 2 has a suitable awning drive (not shown in detail here).

[0040] Furthermore, an awning box 4 is provided, which is designed to accommodate and support the awning shaft 2 and the awning fabric 3. In particular, the awning shaft is supported on the awning box to prevent sagging. For this purpose, the partially or fully wound awning fabric rests on the awning box.

[0041] The awning box 4 has a profile base body 23, which is designed for attachment to a mounting surface, and a cover profile 21, which is designed to cover and support the awning shaft 2 and the awning fabric 3. The cover profile 21 and the profile base body 23 are designed to be reversibly connected to one another via a double hook closure 22. The awning shaft is thus supported by the cover profile 21, which transfers the support load to the profile base body 21 via the double hook closure 22.

[0042] A shaft bearing 5 is provided for the lateral support of the awning shaft 2. This bearing is provided on both sides of the awning shaft. The shaft bearing 5 is designed to be attached to the profile base body 23 for floating support of the awning shaft 2.

[0043] The shaft bearing 5 is designed for the floating support of the awning shaft 2 within the awning box 4. Preferably, the awning shaft is supported radially in a two-dimensional floating manner by means of the shaft bearing 5, as symbolized by the movement arrows.

[0044] Due to the two-dimensional floating bearing, the shaft bearing 5 allows the awning shaft to be displaced both in the vertical radial direction and in the horizontal radial direction within the awning box 4. The awning shaft is thus supported against sagging along its length and yet is freely displaceable in both of its radial directions, i.e. it is mounted in a two-dimensional floating manner.

[0045] Fig. 2 shows a schematic side view of an awning according to another embodiment.

[0046] This embodiment has all the features of the embodiment according to Fig. 1 In addition, the shaft bearing 5 here has a pivot arm 6, along which the awning shaft 2 is mounted for longitudinal displacement. For longitudinal displacement, a slotted hole is provided in the pivot arm 6, along which the awning shaft 2 can be displaced relative to the pivot arm 6, as symbolized by the double arrow. For example, a center bearing 13 connected to the awning shaft runs in the slotted hole. In further embodiments, a different type of longitudinal guide along the pivot arm would also be conceivable, for example with a rail or the like.

[0047] The pivot arm 6 is rotatably mounted at a first end 7 in the awning box 4, here, for example, in an upper corner region 8 of the awning box facing a mounting side M, which is located on the left in the illustration. Alternatively or additionally, the top side of the awning box 4 can also be provided as the mounting side M.

[0048] In this embodiment, the two-dimensional displaceability of the awning shaft 2 is realized by superimposing the rotation of the pivot arm 6, as symbolized by a rotation arrow, and the longitudinal displacement of the loose bearing 11 along the pivot arm 6.

[0049] In the view shown, the awning shaft is located, for example, in the bottom right corner of the cross-section, i.e. opposite the mounting side. From this position, the awning shaft 2 can be adjusted horizontally to the left, for example, by turning the pivot arm 6 to the left in the view shown and longitudinally moving it along the pivot arm 6 in the direction of the first end 7. Alternatively, in the view shown, the awning shaft 2 can be adjusted vertically upwards from the position shown by moving it upwards and simultaneously longitudinally moving it towards the first end 7. The awning shaft 2 could be adjusted diagonally upwards by purely longitudinally moving it. All of these options also exist when the awning fabric 3 wound up onto the awning shaft 2 in the state shown is partially or completely unwound.The awning shaft would then be moved further into the lower right corner in a lower right position, but would also be radially movable in all directions within the awning box 4. This allows the awning shaft 2 to always deflect resistances caused, for example, by the drive torque or friction. Tilting of the awning shaft 2 is thus impossible.

[0050] The rotatable bearing of the pivot arm 6 can be designed to be reversibly detachable to facilitate assembly or disassembly. In the illustrated embodiment, a bolt 9 removably attached to the awning box 4 serves as the axis of rotation of the pivot arm 6. If desired, the bolt 9 can be inserted only after the awning box 4 has been assembled and the awning shaft 2 including the shaft bearing 5 has been inserted. This leaves the installation space of the awning shaft 2 or the fabric roll freely accessible for the assembly of the awning box 4 or its profile base body 23.

[0051] The cover profile supports the awning shaft 2 within the awning box 4 over its entire length. The double hook closure 22 has two hook closures arranged one after the other in cross-section. In the illustrated embodiment, an upper hook closure 28 and a lower hook closure 29 are provided. Thus, the double hook closure is designed not only to support forces but also to support a moment resulting from the support of the awning shaft 2 and the awning fabric 3 by the cover profile 21.

[0052] For assembly and / or disassembly, the double hook fastener 22 can be reversibly opened and closed by a linear displacement of the cover profile 21 relative to the profile base body 23. In the simplified drawing shown, the hooks of the double hook fastener 22, or the upper hook fastener 28 and the lower hook fastener 29, are arranged one above the other, but this is merely a simplified representation. In further embodiments, the hooks or hook fasteners can additionally have a lateral offset, so that a linear displacement of the cover profile 21 relative to the profile base body 23 can be provided for assembly and / or disassembly, in particular also in a direction oblique to the visible side and / or assembly side.

[0053] The Fig. 3A-D show a schematic representation of the steps for the corresponding assembly of an awning 1.

[0054] A corresponding method for installing such an awning 1 comprises the following steps: Fig. 3A shows a step of fastening a profile base body 23 of an awning box 4 with its mounting side M to a mounting surface 19. This is an example of a vertical mounting surface.

[0055] The profile base body 23 is initially empty and provided without a cover profile. The profile base body 23 is therefore attached to the mounting surface 19 by means of fastening elements 20 inserted from the inside of the profile base body 23 through the profile base body 23 and into the mounting surface 19. For this purpose, tools (not shown here) for attaching the fastening elements 20 can be inserted into the interior of the profile base body 23 in the area of the future installation space for the awning shaft. If necessary, drilling marks can also be easily placed on the mounting surface 19 from the inside of the profile base body 23.

[0056] Fig. 3B shows a subsequent further step of inserting an awning shaft 2, which is designed for winding and unwinding an awning fabric 3, together with a shaft bearing 5 mounted thereon, which is designed for floating mounting of the awning shaft 2, into the profile base body 23. Due to the removed cover profile of the awning box 4, the awning shaft 2 can be inserted with its entire width into the awning box 4, which massively simplifies assembly compared to lateral insertion or lateral insertion.

[0057] Fig. 3C shows a subsequent step of coupling the shaft bearing 5 with the profile base body 23. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, reference is made to Fig. 2 The pivot arm 6 is rotatably attached to the profile base body 23 at its first end 7. This is preferably a reversibly detachable attachment, for example by means of a stud bolt screwed into the awning box. In the exemplary embodiment shown, such a stud bolt is provided in an upper corner region 8 of the profile base body 23 facing a mounting side M.

[0058] Fig. 3D shows the step of closing a visible side S of the awning box 4 with a cover profile 21, which is reversibly connected to the profile base body 23 via a double-hook fastener 22 in such a way that it covers and mechanically supports the awning shaft 2 and the awning fabric 3. Despite the support, the awning shaft 2 is displaceable in all radial directions and thus has a two-dimensional floating bearing. The double-hook fastener 22 is reversibly closed by a linear displacement of the cover profile 21 relative to the profile base body 23, which is symbolized here by a movement arrow drawn next to the double-hook fastener 22.

[0059] The load carried by the support of the awning shaft additionally secures the double hook lock 22 in the closed position.

[0060] To ensure that the awning fabric 3 can still be unrolled, the cover profile 21 can have an inner sliding sleeve 16 (see Fig. 4 ). Due to the floating bearing, the awning shaft 2 is displaceable both in the vertical radial direction and in the horizontal radial direction within the awning box 4, which is achieved by a superposition of a pivoting and a longitudinal displacement, as indicated by the movement arrows.

[0061] The Fig. 4A-B show a schematic representation of the steps for assembling an awning according to a further embodiment.

[0062] In contrast to Fig. 3A-D Here, a mounting surface 19 is aligned horizontally. Thus, an upper side of the awning box 4 or the profile base body 23 is the mounting side M. Therefore, the fastening means 20 is inserted from the inside upwards through the profile base body 23 into the horizontally aligned mounting surface 19.

[0063] Furthermore, the step according to Fig. 4A the Fig. 3A analogous and the step according to Fig. 4B the Fig. 3D analogue.

[0064] Fig. 5 shows a side view of an awning 1 according to a further embodiment.

[0065] This embodiment is based on the embodiment according to Fig. 2 and therefore has the characteristics described in relation to it.

[0066] According to this embodiment, the first end 7 of the pivot arm 6 is also designed to be reversibly detachable to facilitate assembly or disassembly. For this purpose, a bolt 9 releasably fastened in a screw channel of the awning box 4 serves as the axis of rotation of the pivot arm 6. At a second end 10 of the pivot arm 6, a floating bearing 11 is provided, which is coupled to an awning drive and is designed to absorb a drive torque of an awning drive. For this purpose, the floating bearing 11 has a slotted recess 12 in the pivot arm 6, a central bearing 13 in the form of a roller bearing running therein, and a bearing plate 14 coupled to the awning shaft 2 and supporting the central bearing 13.Furthermore, two mounting means 19 for fastening the awning motor are provided on the bearing plate 14, here for example in the form of countersunk holes, as well as two support bearings 15 each running on an outer longitudinal side of the pivot arm, which are provided for securing rotation and transmitting the drive torque.

[0067] In the illustrated embodiment, the support bearings 15 are also roller bearings, although other designs are conceivable

[0068] The awning box has an outlet slot 17 for the awning fabric 3 on its underside, wherein a deflection device 18 is provided in the region of the outlet slot 17 for the predetermined orientation of the awning fabric 3 before it leaves the awning box 4. The deflection device 18 is designed for the vertical orientation of the awning fabric 3, shown here with a dashed line, and is arranged within the awning box 4.

[0069] In the illustrated embodiment, the deflection device 18 is designed as a sliding device in the form of a sliding bead attached to the awning box, here the profile base body 23. This preferably extends over the entire axial length of the awning box or at least over the entire width of the awning fabric.

[0070] In this embodiment, the awning box 4 is also formed with two profiles: a profile base body 23, which is designed for attachment to a mounting surface and to which the shaft bearing (5) can be attached, and a cover profile 21, which is designed to cover and support the awning shaft 2 and the awning fabric 3. The cover profile 21 and the profile base body 23 are designed to be reversibly connected to one another via a double hook closure 22. Thus, the cover profile 21 is capable of transferring forces and moments exerted by the awning shaft 2 and / or the weight of the awning fabric to the profile base body 23 over its entire length.

[0071] The cover profile 21 is designed here as an angle profile and has a round inner surface for the sliding sleeve extending over an angle section, here for example approximately 90°.

[0072] The cover profile 21 has an inner sliding sleeve 16, on which the awning fabric 3, in the partially or fully wound state, is supported together with the awning shaft 2 to prevent sagging. The sliding sleeve 16 is designed here as an insert on the inside of the cover profile and held between two tabs, one of which is arranged directly on the outlet slot 17 and a second directly on the double hook extension of the cover profile. In this respect, the orientation of the tabs differs according to the course of the cover profile cross-section, here by approximately 90°, for example. In further embodiments, however, a wide variety of other designs of the inner sliding sleeve 16 are conceivable, for example as an adhesively bonded covering, as a coating, or the like.

[0073] The profile base body 23 has a projection 25 on a visible side S, which in the illustrated embodiment is opposite a mounting side M, but in other embodiments can also be aligned perpendicularly thereto. An inwardly projecting double hook extension 27 of the double hook fastener 22 is formed below the projection 25. The double hook extension 27 of the profile base body 23 projects obliquely inward toward the visible side S. The projection covers the double hook extension 27 from above and laterally.

[0074] The cover profile 21 is arranged in an area of the awning box 4 opposite the first end of the pivot arm and, together with the overhang 25, covers the visible side S.

[0075] The projection continues downward on the visible side and, in this area, partially forms a common plane with the cover profile 21. The cover profile 21 is formed with a double-hook extension 24 of the double-hook fastener 22 that can be inserted under the projection 25. The visible side S is thus essentially closed, except for a remaining gap in the area of a foot of the double-hook extension 24 of the double-hook fastener 22.

[0076] The double hook extension 24 of the cover profile 21 projects obliquely inwards towards the mounting side M, corresponding to the double hook extension 27 of the profile base body 23. The double hook closure 22 can thus be reversibly released and closed by a linear displacement of the cover profile 21 relative to the profile base body 23 in a direction oblique to the visible side and / or mounting side, as symbolized by the oblique double arrow shown.

[0077] Fig. 6 shows the awning 1 according to Fig. 5 in a perspective view.

[0078] In contrast to Fig. 5 Awning fabric 3 is hidden here.

[0079] The screw channels 31 integrated in the profiles are used to fasten end plates (not shown here), which additionally hold the profile base body 23 and the cover profile 21 together laterally when assembled.

[0080] Purely as an example, four screw channels are provided here, one per corner area of the overall profile of the awning box 4, which has a rectangular cross-section.

[0081] Due to the bearing of the swivel arm, the screw channel 31 is offset inward in the upper corner 8 of the profile base body 23. The same applies to the lower corner, where the screw channel is integrated with the receptacle for the deflection device 18.

[0082] Fig 7 shows the view after Fig. 6 with hidden shaft bearing 5.

[0083] The bearing plate 14 of the floating bearing is designed here as a cross plate, with the support bearings 15 and the mounting means 26 each located opposite each other. The mounting means 26 are coupled to the awning drive 30, which here is designed as a motor integrated into the awning shaft. The outer edges of the cross plate, which are associated with the mounting means, are rounded to match the radius of the awning shaft.

[0084] For mounting the swivel arm 6, a screw channel 33 with a comparatively larger diameter is also provided, which is arranged in the upper corner of the mounting side.

[0085] Although the present invention has been fully described above using preferred embodiments, it is not limited thereto but can be modified in many ways.

[0086] The awning box here forms a rectangular outer contour merely for illustrative purposes. However, the outer contour is necessarily essentially flat only on the mounting side. The contours of the other outer sides, especially the visible side S, remain free and are designed as rectangular shapes here purely for illustrative purposes. List of reference symbols
