DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to an arrangement of a preferably adjustable tilt limiter with or without recoil lock in conjunction with a mounting tube for awnings.
Such arrangements are known and are located around the mounting tube, on the mounting tube or in front of the mounting tube, for example. On the one hand, reliable securing of a tilt limiter on the mounting tube is not simple and this is mostly not very stable. On the other hand, an arrangement of the tilt limiter mechanism on the mounting tube or encircling it results in an unnecessarily large overall height and overall depth around the latter which it is increasingly attempted to avoid. Furthermore, such arrangements, which often consist of a large number of parts, are also very complex and therefore expensive.
With respect to the state-of-the-art, an articulated awning with an adjusting shaft passing through the support tube is known from DE 28 34 486 C 2, this possessing swivel bearings for the articulated arms located on brackets, whereby the tilt angle of these arms can be adjusted by means of a worm fixed on the adjusting shaft and a worm wheel with internal thread acting in conjunction therewith via a thrust rod passing through the thread and an angle lever arrangement. Here, only the drive for tilt adjustment of the articulated arms is contained in the support tube.
Other arrangements of this type are known, for example, from DE-GM 80 05 351, DE 32 06 963 C 2 and DE 34 47 792 A 1, as well as from DE 34 12 125 C 1. Common to all these arrangements is that they possess a relatively large overall height and overall depth.
The task of the invention is thus to improve the stability of the arrangement of an adjustable tilt limiter in conjunction with a mounting tube, to reduce the overall height and overall depth, to considerably simplify production and thus to make it considerably less expensive and, overall, to reduce the arrangement in all dimensions.
This is achieved by the invention owing to the fact that the tilt limiter mechanism is integrated in the area of the mounting tube and that the arrangement consists of a mounting cradle with bearing block closed to the rear by a mounting plate, whereby the bearing block acts as a pivoting support for an encapsulated adjusting mechanism for the actual tilt limiter, whereby the mounting tube adjoins both sides of the mounting cradle and whereby the bearing block possesses axial bores for the drive spindle of the adjusting mechanism of the tilt limiter.
It is particularly advantageous if the mounting tube adjoining both sides of the mounting cradle is realized as a short connection piece in each case which can be connected telescopically with the actual mounting tube.
It is of quite particular importance and above all economy if the mounting cradle with mounting plate, bearing block, connection pieces for the mounting tube and the holder consist of one piece.
Refer to the other claims for the details of further characteristics.
The invention will now be described in more detail on the basis of a realized example in conjunction with the enclosed figures.
The figures show the following:
FIG. 1 A schematic perspective view of a realized example of the invention and
FIG. 2 A modified design form of the invention.
In FIG. 1, it is possible to see a tilt limiter arrangement 1 for adjustable awnings integrated in the area of the mounting tube. This tilt limiter arrangement is located within the length of a mounting tube 2 and consists of a mounting cradle 4, closed at its rear by a mounting plate 3 and at least partially open at the front and top, with bearing blocks carrying drive shafts 5 mechanism 6 of a tilt limiter 11, whereby the adjusting mechanism is supported so that it has restricted swivelling capacity and is preferably encapsulated. A connection piece 7 adjoins this mounting cradle 4 on at least one side, but preferably on both sides as shown, whereby these are connected telescopically with respective sections of mounting tube 2.
It is possible either to insert the connection piece 7 in the mounti
