SE506511C2 - Sun and wind protection for balconies - Google Patents

Abstract

A sun and wind shield, particularly intended for balconies, terraces and the like, includes a flexible canvas material (8) or like material and cross-struts (7) connected to the material. The cross-struts are movable along posts (4, 5) for adjusting the area covered by the canvas material. The canvas material is divided into a plurality of canvas lengths (9) and each canvas length is delimited by a top and a bottom cross-strut (7). All cross-struts can be locked individually in desired positions relative to the posts (4, 5), such as to adapt the size and position of the shield along the posts.

Description

506 511 Such a windbreak combines the advantage that the surface can be easily changed as needed with smaller surfaces up to a large coverage area with maximum utilization of the windbreak.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, a starting point for the post's bracket is only the balcony railing, and in another embodiment the starting point for the post is the floor and ceiling of the balcony.

The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings as examples.

Fig. 1 shows a windbreak according to the invention which is maximally stretched.

Fig. 2 shows a windbreak according to the invention which is partially stretched.

Figures 3a and 3b are enlarged sections of the rail holder at the parallel strut.

Figs. 4a and 4b show a strut running outside the cross struts.

Fig. 5 are sketches of the rope brackets located at the top of the parallel struts.

I ñg. 1 shows a windbreak in a fully assembled condition where the entire surface is mounted in the maximum position. The windbreak is attached to the balcony railing 1 with the post 2 running vertically. The fabric or plastic 4 that protects against the wind is attached to the crossbar 3 which is attached to each vertical post 2. Since the crossbars 3 are movable in height, the distance between the struts 3 can vary so that the struts can be set at any distance from each other and also on different height, which increases or decreases the surface 4 of the sun visor, see fi g. In order to be able to raise and lower the struts in a simple way, they can be attached to a system of ropes connected to the struts at each vertical post, so that the entire strut is regulated with a simple pull of the rope or by means of a crank.

The bracket 5 itself, which through the strut device 9 and 11 holds the fabric 4 firmly on the strut 3, can be raised and lowered along the post 2 and is fastened through a knife 6 when the height is appropriate, see fi g. 3a. Through two rollers 7 the strut moves more easily along the post 3 which runs between the strut 9 and the bracket 5 which are fastened to each other by screws 8. At the end of the strut 9 there is space 10 for strut holder 11 which is clamped around the strut holder 9 through a screw 12, se fi g. 4a and 4b. The cross struts 3 are attached to the intended opening 13 which is also adjusted by the side screw 12 which regulates the bracket on the strut 9. These jointed struts sit on each post 2 and hold the fabric 4 at the same height to more easily adjust the height and size of the windbreak. When the windscreen is at 506 511 3 height and with a suitable surface, fasten it with the screw 6 and keep it at the desired level, see fi g 2.

At the top of each post 2 you can attach a lid 14 as the center of a rope system where you can with a simple hand grip in one place raise or lower the bracket 5 and at the same time the stay 3, see fi g 5. This according to a simple function where the rope runs through a hole system 15 between the bracket 5 and up through the cover 14, via the holes 15 to another cover 14 and down to the next bracket 5 which is at the same level. By bringing this line together with itself, it can also be attached to a point on a crank so that the surface of the windbreak can be adjusted with a simple touch. A device for attaching to the balcony roof can also be placed on top of the cover 14. In this embodiment, the post 2 can be fastened to the floor and ceiling and does not need to be fastened around the balcony railing 1, which gives greater freedom during installation. The stays 3 can also be curved so that protection can be obtained in the corner of the balcony without having to splice.
