Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an awning, and in particular to a sunshade, in which an eaves sheet (frill) is wound around an eave winding shaft, and the eaves winding shaft is rotated forward and backward. This relates to an awning in which the hanging length of the eaves sheet (frills) can be freely adjusted.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, awnings installed in storefronts have a sunshade sheet wound around a roll shaft, and the eave part is stretched forward with a tension arm, etc., and the eave part has a hanging length of 15~ A 20cm eave sheet (frill) is fixed.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventional eaves sheets (frills) as mentioned above have a fixed shape, so even if the sunshade sheet is fully extended, the morning sun, western sun, etc. There was a problem in that the light entered deep into the sun, making it ineffective as a sunshade.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problem, the present invention took the following measures based on the idea that the eaves sheet (frill) should be able to hang long and be rolled up short when not needed. That is, (a) an eaves frame was attached to the eaves of the awning sheet.

(b) The eave frame has an eave wrap shaft on which an eaves sheet (frill) is wrapped around and is horizontally supported, and (c) the eave wrap shaft is configured to be rotatable in forward and reverse directions by a rotating mechanism. (d) The hanging length of the eaves sheet (frill) can be freely adjusted.

[Effect]

According to the present invention having the above configuration, the eave draping sheet (frill) is not fixed, but a long piece is wound around the eave draping shaft. The tare sheet (frill) can hang long or be rolled up.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the side surface of the sunshade. The sunshade sheet 1 is wound around a winding shaft 2, and the winding shaft 2 is horizontally mounted on a support 2a and fixed to a building.

A worm gear 3a constituting a rotating mechanism is attached to one end of the winding shaft 2, and a worm 3b is meshed with the worm gear 3a.
An engaging ring portion 3d is formed at the distal end of c, and a rotating handle 3e is engaged with the engaging ring portion 3d.

An eaves frame 4 is attached to the eaves of the sunshade sheet 1, and the eaves frame 4 is supported by the support body 2a by a support arm 5, and the support arm 5 is formed in a foldable manner to support the eaves frame 4. It is configured so that it can be moved close to or away from the body 2a (details not shown).

Therefore, by making the support arm 5 foldable and rotating the rotation handle 3e of the rotation mechanism, the winding shaft 2 is rotated via the worm 3b and the worm gear 3a, and the sunshade sheet 1 is rotated on the winding shaft 2. It can be wound or unrolled. These rotating mechanisms 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, and 3e are shown as general ones, but the rotating shaft 3c may be rotated by an electric motor, or an electric motor may be attached directly to the winding shaft 3a. I don't mind.

The eave frame 4 has a length spanning the entire width of the eaves of the sunshade sheet 1, is formed in a hollow shape, and has an opening 4a that is elongated in the longitudinal direction and extends over the entire width in the lower part, and is configured such that both ends are closed. , the eaves winding shaft 6 is rotatably supported horizontally. An eaves sheet (frill) 7 is wound around the eaves shaft 6,
The tip of the eaves sheet (frill) 7 is constructed so that it can hang downward from the opening 4a of the eave frame 4, and its hanging length is lengthened or rolled up by the rotation of the eaves winding shaft 6. It is configured to be adjustable. In order to rotate the eave spool shaft 6, a rotation mechanism is attached to one end of the eave spool 6. Specifically, a worm gear 8a is fixed to the end of the eave spool 6 to rotate the worm 8b. The rotation axis 8c of the worm 8b
is pivotally supported on the eaves frame 4, and its lower end protrudes beyond the eave frame 4 and has an engagement ring 8d attached thereto. A rotary handle 8e is engaged with the engagement ring 8d to rotate the worm 8b, thereby rotating the eave winding shaft 6 via the worm gear 8a.

These rotation mechanisms 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 8e
shows a general one, but the rotating handle 8
Instead of e, an electric motor may be attached and rotated. Further, the rotation of the eaves winding shaft 6 may be performed by mechanical means other than the structure of the rotation mechanisms 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, and 8e. That is, as in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the electric motor 9 may be directly connected to the eaves shaft 6'. As the electric motor 9 used as a rotating mechanism, a geared motor, a switching motor, a radio control motor, etc., which are generally used for opening/closing shutters, etc., are used.

In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the same reference numerals are used for parts common to the first embodiment. An electric motor was selected as the rotation mechanism 9, and was fitted into the inner hole 6'a at one end of the eave winding shaft 6' via a cylindrical engaging body 9a, and the base end of the electric motor was fixed to the eaves frame 4. Code 9b in the drawing
is a radio antenna, and the forward and reverse rotation of the motor is adjusted by radio control.

According to the present invention having the above configuration, the sunshade sheet 1 functions as a sunshade and a rainshade in the form of a single-sided roof like a general sunshade sheet, and the rotation mechanisms 3a, 3
b, 3c, 3d, and 3e can be used to rotate the winding shaft 2 to stretch or wind up the sunshade sheet 1. In addition, the sunshade sheet 1 can be stretched or rolled up, especially when the sun shines in the morning or the west. The rotating mechanism 8a,
8b, 8c, 8d, 8e (or 9) rotate the eave winding shafts 6, 6' to make the eave sheet (frill).
The eaves sheet (frill) 7 can be rolled out to block light, and if it is not needed, the eaves sheet (frill) 7 can be rolled up.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the present invention, an eaves frame is attached to the eaves of the sunshade sheet, and an eaves winding shaft on which an eaves sheet (frill) is wound is horizontally suspended on the eaves frame, and the eaves are moved by a rotating mechanism. By rotating the vertical shaft, the eave sheet (frill) can be freely inserted and removed.
It has many excellent effects such as:

(a) Since the length of the eaves sheet (frill) is free, even if the awning is installed at a high position, the eave sheet (frill) can be lengthened accordingly.

(b) The eaves sheet (frill) can be taken out and put in freely, so it can be adjusted freely according to the sunlight incidence angle.

(c) The rotation mechanism of the eaves shaft can be either manual or automatic, and if it is a wireless operation system, it can be easily operated even at a high position.

(d) The eaves sheet (frill) is located at the tip of the awning, so it can be hung down until it reaches the floor without having to operate the awning sheet, so it can block light even in low morning or western sunlight.
