BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to an articulated-arm awning having a bracket and a mounting tube/hollow section which can be attached thereto and is intended for holding at least one bearing block for at least one articulated arm and means for mounting a fabric shaft.
2. Relevant Prior Art
Articulated-arm awnings which can be attached to wall brackets by means of fitting sections or holders are sufficiently well known. Thus, for example, DE 25 14 941 C3 describes an articulated-arm awning having a cantilever awning box which is attached to wall brackets via wall holders.
However, attempts have long been made to combine as many parts of the articulated-arm awning as possible into a unit.
Thus, for example, DE 37 08 155 C2 describes an articulated-arm awning having a central fixing section which serves for holding the bearings for the articulated arms and for holding all adjusting mechanisms.
On the other hand, the attachment of articulated-arm awnings to buildings still involves a considerable amount of work.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is the object of the invention to combine these two requirements, i.e. to provide a mounting device which both facilitates the attachment of the articulated-arm awning and permits the combination of the adjusting mechamisms and their attachment to a component.
It must not be forgotten that the entire construction must be stable and nondeformable and should nevertheless preferably consist of only a few parts.
This object of the invention is achieved if the mounting tube/hollow section has, above a first, preferably closed chamber, a second chamber for holding an adjusting mechanism, a continuous stepped hole for receiving a retaining bolt for the attachment of the bearing block is provided on the back of said mounting tube/hollow section, if furthermore the mounting tube/hollow section has at least one approximately hook-like mounting device on its back, and the bracket has at least one complementary hook-like mounting device.


DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The invention is now illustrated in detail with reference to embodiments in conjunction with the attached drawings.
In the drawings,
FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a mounting device for articulated-arm awnings according to the invention and
FIG. 2 shows a somewhat simplified embodiment of the mounting device.


DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the novel mounting device for articulated-arm awnings. It consists of a bracket 1 which can be attached, for example, to the wall and to which a mounting tube/hollow section 2 is attached.
Mounting tubes and hollow sections are sufficiently well known per se. Here, however, a combination of the two conventional components is employed, serving both for attachment to the bracket and for attachment of other components of an articulated-arm awning.
Thus, it is possible to recognize, for example, a bearing block 3, to which an articulated arm (not shown) could be attached. Attachment means 4 are also indicated, on which further parts of an articulated-arm awning, such as, for example, the component indicated merely as the lower end of a housing 5, are to be seen. These parts are of conventional design and therefore require no further explanation in connection with the present invention.
Firstly, the mounting tube/hollow section 2 has a large chamber 6 which is located approximately in the center and into which stiffening ribs 6a and 6b can be drawn to provide rigidity. Further stiffening ribs may also be provided if thought to be necessary.
A round chamber 7 for a joint mechanism or tilting mechanism is provided above the chamber 6. This chamber 7 is open in front and serves for mounting a threaded bolt 8 which can be connected, for example, to a tilting mechanism. Constructions of this type are likewise generally customary and require no further explanation here.
The mounting tube/hollow section 2 has, at its lower end, a horizontal, forward-projecting strip 9 which has a narrow web 10 w
