Abstract
An elongated support member is adapted to be connected to a wall portion or roof portion defining a space for housing an extendable or movable covering, wherein the support member is adapted for supporting a plate shaped cover in a way that the cover projects from the support member so that it at least partly can conceal the space for the covering. The support member includes a pivot arrangement for forming a pivot axis so that the cover may be pivoted between a non-connected state and a connected state in relation to the support member.
Claims19
A cover arrangement for housing at least part of an extendable or movable covering, the cover arrangement comprising:
- a housing defining a space for enclosing at least part of the covering, the housing having a first leg, a second leg, and a web connecting a first end of the first leg and a first end of the second leg, the housing having an open end between a second end of the first leg and a second end of the second leg;
- a support member attachable to the second end of the first leg of the housing;
- and
- a cover pivotably attachable along a first edge to the support member by a pivot arrangement so that the cover is pivotable between a closed position in which the cover closes at least part of the open end of the housing and an open position;
- the pivot arrangement comprising
- on the support member, when viewed in cross-section,
- a base portion,
- a support member projection attached at a first end of the support member projection to the base portion, the support member projection being arranged inside of the housing,
- and
- a tip portion having a first end attached at a second end of the support member projection,
- the support member projection defining, with the base portion, a receptacle, the tip portion extending toward the first end of the support member projection so that the tip portion and the support member projection form a channel having an open end facing an interior of the receptacle and a bottom at an intersection of the tip portion and the support member projection, and on the cover, when viewed in cross-section,
- a web portion, and
- a cover projection, the cover projection being curved and having a cover projection free end, the cover projection free end being retained in the channel at least when the cover is in the open position and extending further into the channel toward the bottom of the channel as the cover is pivoted from the closed position to the open position.

- the pivot arrangement comprising
- on the support member, when viewed in cross-section,
- a base portion,
- a support member projection attached at a first end of the support member projection to the base portion, and
- a tip portion having a first end attached at a second end of the support member projection,
- the support member projection defining, with the base portion, a receptacle, the tip portion extending toward the first end of the support member projection so that the tip portion and the support member projection form a channel having an open end facing an interior of the receptacle and a bottom at an intersection of the tip portion and the support member projection, and on the cover, when viewed in cross-section,
- a web portion, and
- a cover projection, the cover projection being curved and having a cover projection free end, the cover projection free end being retained in the channel at least when the cover is in the open position and extending further into the channel toward the bottom of the channel as the cover is pivoted from the closed position to the open position,
- wherein a distance between a free end of the tip portion and an interior surface of the base portion perpendicular to a plane parallel with the base portion is at least as large as a height of the cover projection in a direction perpendicular to a plane in parallel with the web portion of the cover.
