Abstract
An awning having a frame including a bearing arm on each side which may move between a vertical relatively flat position for the awning when the awning canopy is retracted to an extended canopy forming position for the awning when the canopy is drawn out, wherein said bearing member is further supported and positioned, especially in the extended position, by a nut which is moveable on an adjustable member to predetermine the canopy formation of the awning, which nut may also be provided with a locking device to limit or prevent movement of the bearing member from an extended position toward a flat position on the occurrence of wind gusts.

- an awning and a support therefor;
- an awning shaft rotatably supported by said support in a substantially horizontal position;
- means for rotating said shaft;
- an awning web having an inner end thereof secured to said awning shaft;
- said awning web having an outer end opposite said inner web;
- said awning web being capable of being unwound from said awning shaft with its outer end first;
- bearing support means hinged on said support and adapted to be tilted about a tilt axis substantially parallel to said awning shaft;
- a front bar for serving as a stretcher bar for said outer end of said awning web;
- an articulated arm having an inner end and an outer end;
- outer joint means pivotally interconnecting said outer end of said articulated arm and said front bar;
- inner joint means pivotally interconnecting said inner end of said articulated arm and said bearing support means;
- tilt-down limiting means for limiting the tilting movement of said bearing support means occurring when said awning web begins to be unwound, said tilt-down limiting means including screw bolt means having a longitudinal axis and being pivotally mounted on said support about a pivoting axis parallel to said tilt axis, adjustable abutment means on said screw bolt means, and counter-abutment means on said bearing support means for being abutted by said abutment means;
- tilt-up catching means including
- socket means having a peripheral wall and being movable between a locking position and a releasing position,
- slot means in said peripheral wall arranged to embrace said screw bolt means at least in said locking position,
- guide means on said bearing support means for guiding the movement of said socket means, and
- drive means connected with said articulated arm to provide a synchronized movement of said socket means;
- said abutment means comprising lug means extending substantially normally to said screw bolt means, in the locking position of said socket means, said lug means being embraced by said socket means.
An awning comprising:
- an awning and a support therefor;
- an awning shaft rotatably supported by said support in a substantially horizontal position;
