Background Technology

[0002] Generally, awnings are installed at outdoor spectator stands, eaves, between buildings, parking lot entrances, underpass entrances, water fountains, bicycle racks, and vehicle platforms to block sunlight, snow, and rain.

[0003] Conventional sunshades consist of a plurality of columns erected on the ground, a sunshade frame supported on the upper part of the columns to be installed at a predetermined height on the ground, and a plurality of sunshade plates installed on the sunshade frame.

[0004] In cases where the awning frame is not sufficiently supported by the columns as described above, the columns and the awning frame are connected using connecting bars or wires to provide reinforcement support.

[0005] In addition, conventional sunshades are sometimes constructed with a structure that supports the sunshade frame directly to the building at a certain height without installing the aforementioned columns.

[0006] In a conventional sunshade configured as described above, the sunshade panels are made of a synthetic resin material such as polycarbonate, and a number of them are installed in succession and formed to a certain size. Since it is necessary to finish the connection part where the sunshade panels are adjacent, the connection part is finished using molding.
