Articulated-arm awning

Abstract

In an articulated-arm awning comprising articulated arms that are supported via wall holders and the free outer end of which is connected in an articulated fashion to a drop-out profile, provision is made for the drop-out profile, as seen in the cross-section, to be designed as a U-profile that is open towards the wall holders and which, in the retracted position, largely encompasses the folded articulated arms.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An articulated-arm awning comprising articulated arms that are supported via wall holders and the free outer end of which is connected in an articulated fashion to a drop-out profile, wherein the drop-out profile ( 14 ) is designed, as seen in the cross-section, as a U-profile that is open towards the wall holders ( 2 ) and, in the retracted position, largely encompasses the folded articulated arms ( 10 ).  
     
     
         2 . An articulated-arm awning according to  claim 1 , wherein side faces ( 6 ) are disposed in the region of the wall holders ( 2 ) and the inner end of the articulated arms ( 10 ) is connected in an articulated fashion to the front inside of the side faces ( 6 ).  
     
     
         3 . An articulated-arm awning according to  claim 2 , wherein the exterior configuration of the side faces ( 6 ) in the retracted position is flush with the cross-section configuration of the drop-out profile ( 14 ).  
     
     
         4 . An articulated-arm awning according to  claim 1 , wherein the articulated arms ( 10 ) have disposed on them, particularly on their center joint, sliding caps ( 25 ) that facilitate the retraction of the articulated arms ( 10 ) into the drop-out profile ( 14 ) when the articulated arms ( 10 ) are not completely centered.  
     
     
         5 . An articulated-arm awning according to  claim 1 , wherein the winding shaft ( 14 ) is supported at both ends on a bracket ( 3 ), which, in turn, is connectable to a wall holder ( 2 ).  
     
     
         6 . An articulated-arm awning according to  claim 1 , wherein the side faces ( 6 ) are provided with support extensions ( 15 ) that are supported on the brackets ( 3 ) in a manner so that their slope is adjustable.
