Abstract
A hinged arm awning with a support frame, in which a cloth roller is rotatably mounted, with hinged arms, which are pivotably mounted in brackets, and with a deployment rod, which tensions the end of the cloth and is flexibly connected to the bottom arm of the hinged arms. The technical problem lies in increasing the deployed length while maintaining the stability of a hinged arm awning. At least one arm (top arm 4 and/or bottom arm 5) of each hinged arm (3) forms an essentially right angle with the deployment rod (7) in the unfolded position and comprises a telescopic device which is preloaded in the deployment direction.
