Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tilt joint for a cassette awning according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the fabric shaft and the awning fabric in the retracted state are accommodated in a cassette which is closed on all sides, the vertical closure of the free end face of the cassette being formed by a dropout panel which is connected to the free end of the articulated arms and which when the articulated arms are retracted Cassette locks.
  • the storage of the articulated arms in the last phase of the swiveling in must be able to carry out a swiveling movement from the inclined into the horizontal position.
  • wind brakes in various embodiments are known in known cassette awnings. These wind brakes essentially comprise a locking device which locks in the extended state and thus fixes the articulated arms in their inclined position. Another requirement for the tilting joints of articulated arm awnings is that the angle of inclination should be adjustable when extended.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a simple and thus maintenance-friendly and inexpensive to manufacture embodiment of a tilting joint, which nevertheless has a stability that meets the high forces involved and in particular allows a secure fixing in the extended state, while at the same time allowing a comfortable inclination adjustment should be possible from the front in any position.
  • the design of the locking device between the adjusting screw for the inclination adjustment and the pivoting locking rocker bearing an articulated arm makes it possible to operate the adjusting screw in any position from the front and to make an inclination adjustment, in particular even when the awning is only slightly extended.
  • the locking pin provided according to the invention and which can be actuated by a stop shoulder of an articulated arm enables the latching device which fixes the inclination in the extended state to be triggered during a precisely definable movement phase of the on swivel motion. In this way, it can be achieved that the latching device is released exactly when this is necessary for inserting the dropout cover into the cassette, but that in the opposite direction of movement there is an immediate snap-in when the dropout cover moves away from the cassette.
  • Claim 2 specifies a particularly simple, easy to manufacture design of the locking device.
  • the adjusting screw provided according to claim 3 enables a precise determination of the pivoting angle of the articulated arms at which the stop shoulder actuates the locking pin, i.e. the tilt joint according to the invention can easily be adapted to certain geometric conditions, in particular predetermined cassette sizes.
  • Claims 4 and 5 indicate possibilities for achieving a coordinated movement between the locking pin and the awning arm.
  • a tilting joint 1 shown in the drawing is fixedly connected via a support 2 to a cassette 3 forming a closed housing, which can be fastened to a house wall 5 via a suspension device 4.
  • the front end of the awning fabric 8 has a piping 9 which engages in a piping groove 10 of a dropout panel 11.
  • the dropout cover 11 covers the free, vertical end face of the cassette 3 in the retracted state of the awning, profile projections 12, 13, 14 ensuring a tight seal.
  • the dropout panel 11 is connected to the front, free end of the articulated arms 15 via a pivot joint 16 with a vertical pivot axis 17, which is only shown schematically.
  • the inner articulated arm section of the articulated arm 15 is connected to the tilting joint 1 about a pivot axis 18 by means of a pivot bearing 19.
  • the tilt joint 1 itself comprises a locking rocker 2 0 , which has an essentially rectangular base body 21 which encloses a central recess 22. Arms 23 protrude from the base body 21 on the two narrow sides, each of which enables a pivot bearing 24 for a pivoting movement about a first pivot axis S 1 relative to the holding part 25 of the carrier 2.
  • the carrier 2 and the holding part 25 are shown only schematically in the drawing and can be designed in any way per se.
  • a bearing block 26 is arranged in the recess 22.
  • the bearing block 26 is mounted via pivot pins 27 in the base body 21 of the locking rocker 20 so that it can pivot about a second pivot axis S 2 .
  • the bearing block 26 has a bore 27 into which an adjusting screw 28 engages.
  • the set screw 28 has a head 29 on the outside with a hexagon opening 30 for inserting an Allen key.
  • the end region opposite the head 29 is tapered and provided with an external thread 31. 1 and 2, the set screw is shown in the screwed-in state.
  • the external thread 31 engages in a threaded bore 32 of a threaded block 33.
  • the threaded block 33 is attached to the screw 34, 35 by means of screws
  • Carrier 2 is pivotally mounted about an axis S 3 above the pivot axis S 1 .
  • the inclination setting of the articulated arms 15 is changed in the extended state.
  • the inclination setting can be easily adjusted from the front in any position of use.
  • the set screw 28 In its head-side section 36, the set screw 28 has an outer recess 37 in the form of an annular groove. In the area of this recess 37, a locking pin 40 is mounted in a guide 39 having a cylindrical bore 38 and is longitudinally displaceable perpendicular to the axis 41 of the adjusting screw 28.
  • the locking bolt 4o is acted upon by a helical spring 43, which is arranged in the bore 38 and is supported against the end wall 44 of this bore.
  • the helical spring 44 is penetrated by an adjusting screw 45, the head 46 of which engages over the bore 38, and the inner end of which engages in a threaded bore 47 in the locking bolt 4o.
  • the locking pin 4o also has an outer recess 48 in the form of an annular groove.
  • the diameter d 1 of the set screw 28 in the region of the lateral recess 37 and the diameter d 2 of the locking bolt 4o in the region of the recess 48 or the lateral offset of the longitudinal axes 41 of the set screw 28 and the longitudinal axis 49 of the locking bolt 4o are coordinated so that when the recess 48 has the longitudinal axis 41 the set screw 28 covers, the locking pin 4o is freely movable in the direction of the longitudinal axis 41 of the set screw 28, but in the other case, the base body of the locking pin 4o penetrates the recess 37 of the set screw 28 so that a locking effect occurs, ie that a movement of the locking pin 4o and the associated parts in the direction of the longitudinal axis 41 is not possible.
  • the free end 5o of the locking bolt 4o lies in an angular range ⁇ shortly after the start of the extension or before the end of the retraction of a stop shoulder 51 acted upon by the force of the coil spring 43. Outside this range, the end 50 and the stop shoulder 51 are not in contact.
  • the construction according to the invention ensures that occurring forces, e.g. can be safely intercepted by gusts of wind in the extended state, while in the initial or final phase of the extending or retracting movement the front cover can easily connect to the cassette.
