Awning, for example joint-arm awning with rain-proof blind

Year	Description
1997	Invention patented by Sven Kroner and Bernhard Wessels on July 10th, 1997. Abstract: In an awning, for example a joint-arm awning, comprising joint arms disposed on a support pipe, the inclination of the support pipe and thus the inclination of the joint arms and/or the inclination of the joint arms relative to the support pipe being adjustable, and an awning cloth extending between a drop-out pipe and a cloth roll disposed on a cloth shaft, and the portion of the cloth roll and the drop-out pipe, in the latter's retracted condition, being covered by a rain-proof blind, it is provided, with a view to ensuring an esthetically attractive, close-lying cover protecting from rain between the rain-proof blind and the drop-out pipe, even when the angle of inclination of the joint-arms is regulated in particular by rotation of the support pipe, that the rain-proof blind is mounted pivotally and is biased by at least one spring or by gravity in a direction toward the upper side of the awning cloth in such a way that the rain-proof blind rests on the upper side of the awning cloth regardless of the adjusted join-arm inclination.
