Abstract

A roller supporting frame or a transverse guide rail is attached to the front end portion of a foldable arm, and the roller supporting frame is attached to the guide rail in such a manner as to be freely slidable. A winding roller for a projected corner canvas is supported by the roller supporting frame through bearings, and a slider is attached to the transverse guide frame provided on the wall side, and thus, a movable awning device having a front winding structure where the top hem of the projected corner canvas is attached to the slider is provided. A complex awning device where an awning device for a projected corner having a front winding structure for a projected corner canvas and a rectangular awning device having a rear winding structure for a rectangular canvas are combined and integrated is also provided. As a result, the appearance around buildings which include a corner space portion in the projected corner portion can be greatly improved, and a pioneering, original product which is technically interesting and useful as a movable awning device is provided in the art.
