The take-up roll 30 is a cylindrical shaft member. Both ends of the take-up roll 30 are stretched over the roll holding portions 19 of the left and right brackets 15 and are held rotatably. A cloth canvas 31 is wound around the outer periphery of the winding roll 30. The end of the canvas 31 that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the take-up roll 30 is fixed to the take-up roll 30.
A well-known thing can be used for such a winding roll and canvas 31. FIG.

The arm 35 is an arm arranged on each of the left and right sides of the awning device 1, and each arm 35 can bend and stretch with the joint portion 35a as a bent portion, as can be seen from FIG. 1 (a) and FIG. 1 (b). ing. As described above, the end portion on the building side which is one end side of the arm 35 is rotatably attached to the arm attachment member 20 of the bracket 15 by the shaft 35b (see FIG. 3). On the other hand, an end of the arm 35 on the side of the separation direction, which is the other end, is attached to the front frame 40 so as to be rotatable. The bending direction of the arm 35 is such that the end portion on the separation direction side approaches the building when the arm 35 is bent, and the end portion on the separation direction side moves away from the building when the arm 35 extends. Further, the vertical direction is preferably inclined and extended so as to fall along the separation direction, and the angle is not particularly limited, but is preferably 15 ° to 25 ° with respect to the horizontal plane.
The structure of such an arm itself can be the same as that of a known awning device.

  The front frame 40 is a long frame member, and is attached to the arm 35 so as to pass the end portions on the separation direction side of the two arms 35. One end of the canvas 31 is fixed to the front frame 40. As a result, following the bending and stretching operation of the arm 35, the front frame 40 also moves in a direction approaching or separating from the building. At that time, the end portion of the canvas 31 also follows this, so that the canvas 31 can be expanded and wound.

  The upper case 45 is a plate-like member that forms the upper part of the awning device 1 to improve the appearance and suppress the entry of water such as rain. Accordingly, the upper case 45 is disposed on the awning device 1 and extends in the left-right direction as shown in FIG. On the other hand, the building-side end portion of the upper case 45 is locked to the upper case locking portion 10 a of the positioning member 10, as seen from the cross section shown in FIG. 4. Further, the end portion of the upper case 45 in the separation direction side is fixed to the upper surface of the arm mounting member 20 of the bracket 15 by a fixing member (not shown).

  The lower case 50 is a member that forms the lower part of the awning device 1 and improves the appearance. Accordingly, the lower case 50 is disposed at the lower portion of the awning device 1 and extends in the left-right direction as shown in FIG. On the other hand, as can be seen from the cross section shown in FIG. 4, the lower case 50 is formed to have two pieces 50a and 50b orthogonal to each other in the cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, and one piece 50a extends along the building wall surface. It arrange | positions so that it may extend and it is fixed to a building frame by the fixing member not shown. Its upper end is locked to the lower case locking piece 10 b of the positioning member 10. On the other hand, the other piece 50b extends to the remote side from the lower end of the one piece 50a. In the present embodiment, the other piece 50b extends horizontally in the separation direction from the building side, and is formed with an inclined portion 50c so as to be inclined obliquely downward from a position separated from the building by the take-up roll 30. .

As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3, the end cap 55 is a member that covers an end portion that improves aesthetics and protects parts from rainwater and the like to improve rust prevention and antifouling properties. FIG. 6A is a perspective view of the end cap 55, and FIG. 6B is a side view of the end cap 55. The end caps 55 are disposed at both the left and right ends of the awning device 1. Each end cap 55 is a container-like member, and is fixed so that the end portions of the upper case 45 and the lower case 50 are inserted and contained therein.
Further, as can be seen from FIG. 6B, the upper surface side and the lower surface side of the end cap 55 have shapes corresponding to the cross-sectional shapes of the upper case 45 and the lower case 50. That is, as can be seen from FIG. 6 (b), on the lower surface side of the end cap 55, there is a horizontal portion 55 a corresponding to the horizontally extending piece 50 b of the lower case 50, and a piece inclined downward from the lower case 55. An inclined portion 55b corresponding to 50c is provided.

  Further, a gear case (not shown) is attached to the awning device 1 on one end side of the take-up roll 30. A drive shaft 60 (see FIGS. 2 and 4) is taken out from the gear case. When the drive shaft 60 is rotated, the direction of the drive force is changed by the gear case, and the take-up roll 30 rotates around the axis. When the take-up roll 30 rotates, the canvas 31 wound around the roll enters and exits, and the arm 35 interlocked with the canvas 31 bends and extends.

The awning device 1 having the above configuration further has the following characteristics. This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a view from the same viewpoint as FIG. 4, and shows a posture in which the canvas 31 is all wound up.
In the awning device 1, the building-side end portion D of the rotating shaft 35 b disposed at the building-side end portion of the arm 35 is disposed closer to the separating direction side than the end portion C of the winding roll 30 on the separating direction side. Yes. Further, the canvas 31 is completely wound on the take-up roll 30 and the arm 35 is bent (that is, the posture shown in FIG. 7), and the height of the building side end portion of the lower surface of the extension portion 18 of the bracket body 16 is increased. The height position (F) of the lower end portion of the arm 35 is configured to be lower than the position (E).
Thereby, in the structure of the awning device 1, the parts disposed below the take-up roll 30 and the vertical direction of the parts can be kept small, and the vertical direction T of the mounting surface in the awning device 1 can be reduced. It becomes possible. Thereby, as will be described later, the awning device can be attached even when the surface for attaching the awning device 1 to the wall of the building is small. That is, since the size of the attachment surface to the building frame can be suppressed, the restrictions on the building side required for attaching the awning device can be relaxed.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the portion 18a is formed on the bracket body 16 and the piece 50b is formed on the lower case 50 (see FIG. 4), and the portion 55a is similarly formed on the end cap 55 (see FIG. 6B). In the predetermined range, the member is configured to extend horizontally in the separation direction without spreading downward. Thereby, the member arrange | positioned under the winding roll 30 can be prevented from becoming large below, and the restriction | limiting of the attachment with respect to a building can be eased further.

  Further, in a posture in which the canvas 31 is wound around the take-up roll 30 (that is, the posture shown in FIG. 7), the lower end position on the building side of the lower case 50 (the position shown by K in FIG. 7), or the lower case 50, at least one of the lower end positions of the lower case 50 (positions represented by J in FIG. 7) within the range where the take-up roll 30 exists above (the range indicated by I in FIG. 7), It is preferable that the lower end position (the position indicated by H in FIG. 7) of the front frame 40 is configured to be a low position. As a result, the above-described effect can be made more remarkable.

The awning device 1 as described above operates as follows. FIG. 8 shows how the canvas 31 is unfolded and wound up, which is a basic function of the awning device 1. FIG. 8A shows the winding posture, FIG. 8B shows the posture during development, and FIG. 8C shows the posture after deployment. The unfolding and winding of the awning device 1 are the same as those of a known awning device. That is, by rotating the drive shaft 60 from the winding posture shown in FIG. 8A, the winding roll 30 rotates in the rewinding direction, and the arm 35 changes to the extended posture. As a result, the front frame 40 moves in the separation direction, and the canvas 31 is pulled out. Then, the awning device 1 can be brought into the deployed posture shown in FIG. 8C through the posture shown in FIG.
In order to change the awning device 1 from the posture shown in FIG. 8C to the stowed posture as shown in FIG.
In the present embodiment, the example in which the awning device is manually operated to perform the unfolding and winding is described. However, the unfolding and winding can be performed electrically. At this time, it may be changed to an electric type by a generally known means. In the case of the electric type, the drive shaft is unnecessary.

Moreover, according to the awning apparatus 1, since the restrictions on the building side required for the attachment can be eased as described above, for example, the attachment can be performed as follows. Examples are shown in FIGS.
The example of FIG. 9 is a case where a short fence is provided above the window provided in the building opening. In such a case, if the gap between the upper edge of the opening device and the ridge is small, the conventional awning device may not be able to attach to this gap. In contrast, the awning device 1 can be attached as shown in FIG.
On the other hand, the example of FIG. 10 is a case where a shutter is attached to a building opening and a short fence is provided above the shutter. In such a case, if the gap between the upper surface of the shutter box and the ridge is small, the conventional awning device may not be able to attach to this gap. In contrast, the awning device 1 can be attached as shown in FIG.
