Description

Support structure for awnings.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a support structure for awnings between the structures for horizontal awnings, which has a water guiding element, for example of rainwater, so that in case of rain, it is guided laterally and evacuate through the front through the legs.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There is a multiplicity of structures that support horizontal awnings, usually used outside private houses or public places such as coffee shops.

For example, in the utility model with publication number 1032498 describes, a support structure for awnings of which on some posts, have guides for transverse profiles, the transverse profiles have linked canvases that form the awning. Profiles move through guides.

This type of awning structures covers from the sun but cannot protect from rain, since being the transverse profiles on the canvases of the awning, the water cannot run to some type of extreme channel because the transverse profiles are preventing the passage to the water and it finally overflows and falls down the sides of the awning.

It would be of great interest a structure for awnings, which prevents the fall of water from the sides of the awning when it rains.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The inventors have developed an awning structure that allows the water that falls on the awning to not slide along the sides of the structure, and is guided to an evacuation channel that leads inside the legs that are hollow, so that Water falls to the ground through them.

Therefore, the present invention relates to a support structure for awnings, comprising a frame which in turn comprise lateral guides, supported by legs fixed to the ground; a series of sliding profiles parallel to each other and perpendicular to said lateral guides are mounted on the lateral guides, to which an integral canvas that configures the awning is linked, the lateral guides are inclined with respect to the ground to prevent water from stagnant in the awning, in which the canvas is linked superiorly to the sliding profiles so that the lateral ends of the canvas remain on top pieces of the sliding profiles, where the end pieces on their upper face end in a concave curvature that it causes the concavity of the end canvases that are supported on them and prevents the water from falling laterally.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

The present specification is complemented by a set of figures, illustrative of the preferred example and never limiting of the invention.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a support structure for awnings.

Figure 2 represents a view from below of Figure 1.

Figure 3 shows an exploded view of an end piece of the guide profiles.

DETAILED EXHIBITION OF THE INVENTION

In view of the foregoing, the present invention relates to a support structure for awnings, comprising a frame which in turn comprise lateral guides (1), supported by legs (2) fixed to the ground; on the lateral guides (1) a series of sliding profiles (3) are mounted parallel to each other and perpendicular to said lateral guides (1), to which an integral canvas (4) that configures the awning, the lateral guides ( 1) they are inclined with respect to the ground to avoid that the water stagnates in the awning, where the canvas (4) is linked superiorly to the sliding profiles (3) so that the lateral ends of the canvas (4) remain on pieces of end (5) of the sliding profiles (3), where the end pieces (5) in its upper face end in a concave curvature (5.2.1) that causes the concavity of the ends of the canvas (4) that are supported on them and prevents the fall of water laterally.

Since the structure is slightly inclined so that the rear part is higher than its previous part, the water runs over the awning. The water is directed to an evacuation channel that leads into the hollow legs (2) that act as supports for the structure and let the water run to the ground.

The end piece (5) comprises a closing structure (5.1) of the end of the sliding profile (3), closing structure

(5.1) of complementary section to the profile, which has on its upper and lower surface fins (5.1.1) that once attached the end piece remain inside the sliding profile (3); and an external structure (5.2)

5 integral with the closing structure (5.1), with a “U” section, which ends at the concave curvature (5.2.1).

The end piece (5) is closed on its outer face by a cover (6).

10 The cover (6) has an "L" section that has fins (6.1) at the upper ends that fit the structure

(5.2) exterior. The cover (6) is held by pressure fixing elements.

Claims (3)

1.- Support structure for awnings, comprising a frame that in turn comprise lateral guides (1), supported by legs (2) fixed to the ground; on the lateral guides (1) a series of sliding profiles (3) parallel between 5 yes and perpendicular to said lateral guides (1) are mounted, to which a canvas (4) is configured that configures the awning, the lateral guides ( 1) they are inclined to the ground to prevent water from stalling in the awning, characterized in that the canvas (4) is linked superiorly to the sliding profiles (3) so that the lateral ends of the canvas (4) are on end pieces (5) of the sliding profiles (3), where the end pieces (5) on their upper face end in a concave curvature (5.2.1) that causes the concavity of the ends of the canvas (4) that 10 are supported on them and prevents water from falling laterally. 2. Awnings structure according to claim 1 wherein the end piece (5) comprises: a closing structure (5.1) of the end of the sliding profile (3), closing structure (5.1) of complementary section to the profile, which has a its upper and lower surface fins (5.1.1) that once attached the end piece, remain inside the profile 15 slider (3); and an external structure (5.2) integral with the closing structure (5.1), with a "U" section, which ends at the concave curvature (5.2.1). 3. Awnings structure according to claim 2 wherein the end piece (5) is closed on its outer face by a cover (6). 20 4. Awnings structure according to claim 3 wherein the cover (6) has an "L" section having fins (6.1) at the upper ends that fit the outer structure (5.2).
