DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a mounting for articulated-arm awnings according to the preamble of claim 1.
Mountings of this type are widely known. However, it has been found that such mountings are often not easy to mount and in particular often consist of too many individual parts which make mounting inconvenient and time-consuming.
This applies very generally but in particular to cassette awnings.
It is the object of the invention no simplify a mounting of the type stated at the outset so that it consists of as few parts as possible and is also simple to mount.
This object of the invention is achieved if the lower side of the bracket has a groove open downward for the passage of attachment bolts and intended to receive at least one nut provided with threaded holes, and if the rear lower end section of the support arm has a backward-protruding flange with a bore for receiving retaining bolts which can be screwed into the nut.
Further features of the invention are described in the further claims.
The invention is now illustrated in detail with reference to embodiments in conjunction with the attached drawings:
In the drawings,
FIG. 1 shows a mounting for a cassette awning according to the invention;
FIG. 2 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a further embodiment of the mounting;
FIG. 3 shows a schematic perspective partial view of the mounting according to FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 shows a schematic sectional view of a further embodiment of the mounting at the beginning of assembly and
FIG. 5 shows the assembled mounting according to FIG. 4.
FIG. 1 shows a mounting assembled according to the invention and intended preferably for cassette awnings having a bracket 1 which, for example, may be up to 20 cm wide or more. Of course, two or more such brackets or a common continuous bracket 1 may be provided if required.
A support arm 2 which forms an internal space which is at least partly arc-shaped is attached to this bracket.
The lower side of the bracket has a preferably T-shaped groove 3 which is open downward for the passage of attachment means, preferably attachment bolts, and into which, for example, a nut 4 can be inserted. Of course, this nut may extend over the entire width of the bracket. On the other hand, a number of nuts may also be provided. It is also possible for this groove having an approximately T-shaped cross-section to be open only on one side of the bracket.
For its attachment as a mounting, the rear end of the support arm 2 has a flange 5 in which, depending on the width of the support arm, one or more bores 6 are provided, through which a retaining bolt 7 can be screwed into the nut 4. The bore 6 is preferably in the form of a stepped bore so that the bolt head of the retaining bolts 7 does not project. It is particularly advantageous if at least part of the bore 6 carries an internal thread so that, prior to assembly, the retaining bolt 7 can be screwed in, substantially facilitating the assembly.
A holding device 12 which is only indicated and is intended for an articulated arm and a holding device 13 which is likewise only indicated and is intended for a tilting joint are furthermore recognizable on the support arm 2. Holding devices and attachment devices for articulated arms and tilting joints are not part of the present invention.
A sleeve or casing 14 which ends at the front in a guide plate 15 is inserted into the support arm or into the support arms. A roof 16 which covers the sleeve or casing at the top is also provided. The casing is furthermore attached to the support arm 2 by means of an attachment device 17 which is only indicated. This may be, for example, one or more T-shaped projections which can be pushed into corresponding slots in the support arm 2.
The bracket can be attached by means of bolts--not shown--at holes 18 and 19 for wall attachment. These holes too are preferably in the form of stepped holes. Here too, it appears expedient to provide a few thread turns at least in part of the hole to facilitate mounting.
As shown by tests performed, this type of attachment of one
