Awning

Abstract

The invention relates to an awning comprising a fabric roller, a fabric, and a drop arm. The fabric is connected to the fabric roller in the region of an inner fabric edge and to the drop arm in the region of an opposite outer fabric edge. The drop arm can be adjusted by means of a drive device between a fully retracted minimum position P0, in which the fabric is wound as tightly as possible on the fabric roller, and a fully extended maximum position P100, in which the fabric has the widest possible span. The drop arm is moved between the minimum position P0 and the maximum position P100 along a curved path of movement B, wherein a distance b100 to a reference plane BE in the maximum position P100 is at least 8.0 times as great as a distance b50 from the reference plane BE in a position P50 extended by 50% along the reference path B.

Description

[0001] Awning The invention relates to an awning with a roller shaft running straight in a first direction, a fabric and a projection rod running straight parallel to the first direction, wherein the fabric is connected to the roller shaft in the area of ​​an inner edge of the fabric and to the projection rod in the area of ​​an opposite outer edge of the fabric, and wherein the projection rod is moved by means of a drive device in the form of at least one spring-loaded, multi-part articulated arm and / or in the form of at least one driven telescopic arm between a fully retracted minimum position P0, in which the fabric is wound up as far as possible on the roller shaft, and a fully extended maximum position P 100is adjustable, in which the fabric is stretched as far as possible. An awning with the aforementioned construction has been known for a long time and can be designed as an open awning or as a so-called box or cassette awning, in which the fabric shaft is housed in a box-shaped housing. Several spring-loaded articulated arms or piston-cylinder units or other suitable drives can be used as the drive device. If the awning is to be extended from the fully retracted minimum position P0, the extension rod is moved away from the fabric shaft as a result of the drive device, whereby the fabric is pulled off the fabric shaft and stretched. The invention relates exclusively to awnings which, in their fully extended maximum position P 100 and also in a partially extended intermediate position P iproject freely, i.e. have no lateral supports, and where the drop rod is not moved by lateral guides on a path of movement predetermined by the guides. All of the following considerations assume that the drop rod, the fabric, the fabric shaft and the drive mechanism are not subject to any deformation or displacement as a result of their own weight and as a result of possible assembly inaccuracies or play in the connections, i.e. all statements and information refer to the undeformed, ideal static system. In the following, it is assumed by way of example that the fabric shaft and the drop rod are arranged horizontally, since the vast majority of awnings are installed and used in a corresponding orientation. However, the invention is not limited to this. In the extended state, the fabric extends between the drop rod and the fabric shaft and forms a fabric plane.Typically, the fabric plane is inclined downwards from the fabric roller at an angle of approximately 10° to 30° relative to the horizontal, i.e. the drop rod is at a lower height than the fabric roller. In older awnings, the angle of inclination of the fabric plane relative to the horizontal was fixed, but awnings have long been known where the user can adjust the angle of inclination using a suitable tool. Angles of inclination in an adjustment range of 0° to 30° are common. Once the user has set a suitable angle of inclination, this remains the same until the user adjusts the angle again using the tool. The extent to which an awning must be extended in order to adequately shade the space below depends largely on the position of the sun.When the sun is very high in the sky, relatively few rays of sunlight fall into the space to be shaded beneath the awning, so that it is often sufficient to extend the awning only partially, rather than completely. However, when the sun is already relatively low in the sky, particularly in the evening hours, a lot of sunlight enters the space to be shaded from the side or from the front, so that the user has to set the fabric plane very diagonally, i.e. the angle of inclination very large, in order to achieve good shading of the space beneath the awning. However, this procedure is very complex. The object of the invention is to create an awning of the type mentioned which simply enables good shading of the space beneath the awning whatever the position of the sun and whether the awning is extended in different ways. This object is achieved according to the invention by an awning having the features of claim 1.According to the invention, the basic idea is to adjust the inclination of the fabric plane when extending the awning between the fully retracted minimum position P0 and the fully extended maximum position P. 100at least in sections and preferably continuously, so that the drop rod is moved on a vertically downward curved path. This can be achieved, for example, by not specifying the inclination of the fabric plane and, for example, the articulated arms by a user, but by changing the position of a tilting joint, via which the articulated arms are connected to a supporting structure near the fabric shaft, depending on the extended position of the drop rod and / or depending on a pivoting position of the articulated arms. It should be emphasized that the invention relates exclusively to awnings in which the drop rod can be moved between the minimum position P0 and the maximum position P 100is moved along a curved path of movement without the path of movement being predetermined by guides, since it is a freely cantilevered awning. The curved path of movement can preferably be continuously curved, with a unidirectional curvature being preferred. If the awning is mounted horizontally, the path of movement is curved downwards. Alternatively, multi-directional curved paths of movement and, in exceptional cases, wave-shaped paths of movement can also be provided. Straight-line paths of movement are excluded. To explain the invention in more detail, some definitions are first necessary: ​​The projection rod has a reference line R, which runs in the longitudinal direction of the projection rod. The reference line R of the projection rod is between the minimum position P0 and the maximum position P 100along the curved path of movement B with the length L. A reference plane BE, for example a horizontal plane, is provided, which intersects the drop rod when it is in its position P extended by a distance of 0.12•L (= 12%•L) along the path of movement B. 12 (= 12% position). A first section line S1 is then defined between the dropout rod and the reference plane BE, which lies in the reference plane BE and which coincides with the reference line R of the dropout rod in its 12% position P 12 The reference plane BE intersects the drop rod in its position P extended by a distance of 0.25•L (= 25%•L) along the movement path B 25 (= 25% position) and defines a second section line S2, which lies in the reference plane BE and which coincides with the reference line R of the dropout rod in its 25% position P 25As already explained, the drop bar is moved according to the invention along a curved path of movement B. Thus, the reference line R is also drawn between, on the one hand, at least the 12% position of the drop bar and in particular the minimum position P0 and, on the other hand, the maximum position P 100 the drop rod moves along the curved path B. Between the fully retracted minimum position P0 and the fully extended maximum position P 100 the dropout rod and thus the reference line R takes a variety of intermediate positions P i along the movement path B. Each intermediate position P i is determined by two coordinates, since both the roller tube and the drop rod are always straight and preferably horizontally aligned, and since the ideal, undeformed system is considered. Each intermediate position P iis defined by its distance from the reference line R of the drop bar along the movement path B relative to the maximum distance along the movement path B that the reference line R of the drop bar can reach in the maximum position P 100 , ie 0≤i≤100. In each position P i the reference line R of the dropout rod has a distance b measured normal to the reference plane BE i from the reference plane BE. According to the invention, the movement path B is curved so that a distance b measured normal to the reference plane BE 100 the reference line R of the drop rod from the reference plane BE in the fully extended maximum position P 100 the drop-out rod at least 8.0 times as large as a distance b measured normal to the reference plane BE 50 the reference line R of the drop rod from the reference plane BE in a position P extended by a distance of 0.50•L (= 50%•L) along the movement path B 50(=50% position) of the dropout rod, ie b 100 ≥ 8.0 • b 50 . For a conventional awning with a straight path of movement of the drop rod, the value would only be 2.0, since the drop rod is in position P 100 is extended twice as far as in position P 50 . In a further development of the invention, it can be provided that the distance b measured normal to the reference plane BE 100 the reference line R of the drop rod from the reference plane BE in the fully extended maximum position P 100 the drop-out rod at least 10.0 times the distance b measured normal to the reference plane BE 50 the reference line R of the dropout rod from the reference plane BE in the 50% position P 50 the dropout rod, ie b 100 ≥ 10.0 • b 50 .

Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of the basic structure of an articulated arm awning. Fig. 2 shows a schematic side view of the awning with various positions P. ithe drop rod and Fig. 3 shows exemplary movement paths of the drop rod of the awning according to the invention. Fig. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of an articulated arm awning 10, which has a fabric shaft 11 running in a first direction A, for example horizontally, which is rotatably held on a support structure 16. A fabric 12 is attached to the fabric shaft 11 with an inner end facing the fabric shaft 11 and can be wound onto and unwound from it. At the opposite end, the fabric 12 is connected to a drop rod 13 running parallel to the first direction A, for example horizontally. The drop rod 13 is attached to the support structure 16 by means of a drive device 14, which has two spring-loaded articulated arms 15. As a result of the drive device 14, the drop-out rod 13 can be moved away from the cloth shaft 11, whereby the cloth 12 is unwound from the cloth shaft 11 and stretched out.Accordingly, the cloth 12 can be wound onto the cloth shaft 11 by retracting the drop rod 13 in the direction of the cloth shaft 11. In a minimum position P0 (see Fig. 2), the cloth 12 is wound as far as possible onto the cloth shaft 11, and the drop rod 13 is accordingly retracted as far as possible and arranged close to the cloth shaft 11. This position is shown on the left in Fig. 2. When the cloth 12 is unwound and stretched as far as possible from the cloth shaft 11, the drop rod 13 is in its fully extended maximum position P. 100 , which is shown on the right in Fig. 2. Between the minimum position P0 and the maximum position P 100The dropout rod 13 moves on a downwardly curved path of movement B with the length L. The dropout rod 13 has a reference line R, which runs in the longitudinal direction of the dropout rod 13. For further considerations, it is assumed that the reference line R of the dropout rod 13 lies between the minimum position P0 and the maximum position P 100 is moved along the curved path of movement B. A reference plane BE intersects the drop rod 13 in its position P extended by a distance of 0.12•L (= 12%•L) along the path of movement B. 12 (= 12% position) and defines a section line S1, which lies in the reference plane BE and which coincides with the reference line R of the dropout rod 13 in its 12% position P 12 coincides. The reference plane BE intersects the drop rod 13 in its position P extended by a distance of 0.25•L (= 25%•L) along the movement path B 25(= 25% position) and defines a second section line S2, which lies in the reference plane BE and which coincides with the reference line R of the dropout rod 13 in its 25% position P 25 coincides. In Fig. 2, various intermediate positions P i The index i, which can be between 0 and 100, results from the extent to which the reference line R of the drop rod 13 is extended as a percentage of the maximum travel distance L along the travel path B. A distance b measured perpendicular to the reference plane BE 100 the reference line R of the failure position 13 from the reference plane BE in the fully extended maximum position P 100 of the dropout rod 13 is considerably larger due to the curvature of the movement path B and is at least 8.0 times as large as a distance b measured normal to the reference plane BE 50the reference line R of the drop rod 13 from the reference plane BE in a position P extended by a distance of 0.50•L (= 50%•L) along the movement path B 50 (= 50% position) of the dropout rod 13, ie b 100 ≥ 8.0•b 50 . It is preferably provided that the distance b measured normal to the reference plane BE 100 the reference line R of the drop rod 13 from the reference plane BE in the fully extended maximum position P 100 the drop bar 13 at least 2.5 times as large as a distance b measured normal to the reference plane BE 75 the reference line R from the reference plane BE in a position P extended by a distance of 0.75•L (= 75%•L) along the movement path B 75 (= 75% position) of the dropout rod 13, ie b 100 ≥ 2.5•b 75. In Fig. 3, two exemplary movement paths B1 and B2 are shown schematically. In a first movement path B1, the distance from the reference plane BE to the intermediate position P 50 only slightly over-linear. In the area between the intermediate positions P 50 and P 75 the curvature of the movement path B1 initially increases slightly, while in the final region of the movement path B1 between the intermediate position P 75 and the maximum position P 100 increases sharply. A second movement path B2 is characterized by the fact that it extends in a range up to the intermediate position P 50 also only slightly over-linear, but with a greater inclination relative to the reference plane BE and subsequently has a relatively large curvature.
