LOCATED ON ITS TOP FROM A DRAINPIPE

Field of the invention The invention is a folding awning system which can be placed in front of open spaces such as shops, houses, restaurants, etc., providing protection from rain and sun, which has housings for fitting lightings, which has the open-close property to increase the area covered and collecting the water upon it and pulling it out of a defined drain pipe on it.

State of the art Although there are lighting on the switchable panels for protection from sunlight and rain, these are illuminations that are subsequently added and not integrated into the system. This type of lighting is placed either by a cable or by the sequential addition of the LED array illumination from one end to the other, or on the panel support posts, only to be perpendicular to the wall. In cases placed perpendicular to the wall, illumination may be increased according to the frequency of the carrier panels, thus necessitating the increase of carrier panels. Horizontally installed lightings are added later to the structure and when a light bulb is not functional, all of them becomes non-operational. Horizontally placed bulbs can also be placed only at the beginning or at the end of the structure to avoid damage due to folding. Another problem with the opening / closing panels is the drainage of rainwater. In this type of protection panels, the water coming down by the rain flows downwards with an inclination and can flow all the water over the people who are passing closely.

Brief Description of the invention

From the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a wall-mountable folding awnning system that allows the installation of linear illuminations parallel to the wall where it is placed along its surface without releasing an additional structure and upon which the water coming from the rain can be removed from a single determined point.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention is a folding awning system (1 ) that can be used in outdoor areas and protects the space under it from factors such as rain, sunlight, and its coverage area can be closed or widened by opening and closing with the mechanism it contains which can be activated without a manual force. The components of the invention, such as lighting, do not have to be separately integrated into the system and the lighting can be distributed evenly along the roof. At the same time, the motor (1.10.1 ) and its associated mechanism can be opened and closed without the manual procedure.

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the folding awning system (1) which is clearly seen. The movement taken from the motor (1.10.1 ) in the motor carrier profile (1.10) is transmitted to the pulley (1.3.1 ) by the motor shaft (1.10.2). The motor carrier profile (1.10), located in the closest region to the wall (2) and aligned the same row with the top panel (1.4), is attached to the sealing profile (1.7).

In the mechanism shown in Figure 2, the overlapping layers forming the folding awning system (1 ) comprise of rails (1.3) and panels 1.4 and / or lighting panels (1.5) placed between the two sides of said rails (1.3). In addition on the lower layer at the opposite end of the wall (2) there is a edge coating (1.6), whose ends are closed by the edge coverings (1.6.2) and that the water flows through a drain pipe (1.6.1 ) shown in Figures 1 and 2. Said edge coating (1.6) may have self-enclosed versions where there is no need for an edge covering (1.6.2). The movement is transmitted by the mechanisms connected to the rails (1.3) and the rails (1.3) so as to be from the top layer. The motor (1.10.1 ) as shown in Figure 5, which provide the power required for the main movement of the folding awning system (1 ), is activated by a user via a switch located on the wall (2) or a remote control and turns the motor shaft (1.10.2) and the pulley (1.3.1 ). As can be seen in Figure 2, a belt (1.3.2), which is connected to the pulley (1.3.1 ) on one end and to a motion element (1.3.5) and a multibearing actuator (1.3.6) which are attached to the rail (1.3) below, transmit the motion to the rail (1.3) positioned below. The pulley (1.3.1 ) is positioned in pulley bearings (1.3.7) which are positioned on ends of the rails (1.3) located in all layers except the lowest row and on both sides of the rail (1.3) located at the top layer. Although the pulley bearing (1.3.7) is provided at the ends of the rail (1.3) on the lowest layer, there is no pulley (1.3.1 ). There are triple pulley bearings (1.3.8) with triple pulleys (1.3.4) inside them at the end parts of the rails (1.3) located at the intermediate layers, facing to the direction of the wall (2). The pulley (1.3.1 ) is located in all rails (1.3) except the rails (1.3) in the lowest layer. At the other ends there are pulleys (1.3) located inside pulley bearings (1.3.7). Said pulleys (1.3.1 ) are located inside the rails (1.3.1 ) except the rails located at the lowest layer. The triple pulleys (1.3.4) are located in all rails (1.3) except the lowest layer rails (1.3) and transmits the power from the motor (1.10.1 ) to the lower layers. The triple pulleys (1.3.4) take the motion from rack gear (1.3.3) located on the upper rail (1.3) and transmit to the belts (1.3.2), and move the movement element (1.3.5) and the multi-bearing movement element (1.3.6) which are attached at the ends of the belts (1.3.2) and thus, moves the rails (1.3) and the below layer connected to the rails (1.3).

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, layers which are connected to each other, are carried by the rails at the upper layer, which are attached to the wall (2) by suspensions (1.8) connected to the wall (2). The rails (1.3) in said top layer are connected to the wall (2) by the wall fastener (1.9).

As can be seen from the front view of the rail (1.3) shown in Figure 3, the belt (1.3.2) is located in the gap of the rail (1.3). The panel (1.4) and the lighting panel (1.5) numbers can vary and as shown in Figures 1 , 2 and 5, they are positioned between two parallel parallel rails (1.3) in each layer which are parallel to each other and are perpendicular to the wall (2). In the mentioned positioning, the rail connection element (1.2) as shown in Figure 5 can be used, or in another version the panel (1.4) and the lighting panels (1.5) can be added in the basic structure of the rails (1.3).

Figure 4 shows the triple pulley (1.3.4). The triple pulley (1.3.4) is fixed in the triple pulley bearing (1.3.8), which is closely seen in Figure 4.

(1.3) connected to the wall (1.2) by means of a pair of wall fasteners (1.9) located in pairs and being aligned on one another, perpendicular to the surface of the wall (2); a panel

(1.4), which is positioned between the pairs of said rails (1.3) and can be mounted to another panel (1.4) or lighting panel (1.5) in such a way that it is water-tight between them; a lighting panel (1.5), which is positioned between the pairs of said rails (1.3) and can be mounted to another panel (1.4) or lighting panel (1.5) in such a way that it is water-tight between them; at least a sealing profile (1.7) attached water-tig htly to the panel (1.4) or lighting panel (1.5) positioned in the closest and farthest places of the said folding awning system (1 ) according to the wall (2), and positioned perpendicular to the rails (1.3) and horizontal to the ground face, thus, preventing the flowing of water accumulated on the surface created by the panels (1.4) and / or the lighting panels (1.5); at least two pulleys (1.3.1 ) which are located at the top layer at both ends of the rails (1.3), at middle layers at the rail (1.3) endings away from the wall (2) and at the lowest layer at none of the rails (1.3) and which have their rotation axis horizontal to the ground and perpendicular to the rails

(1.3); at least one belt (1.3.2) located in all of the rails (1.3) except the lowest layer rails

(1.3), freely rotatable horizontally to the rails (1.3) and at one end attached to the motion element (1.3.5) and at the other end attached to the multi-bearing actuator (1.3.6), wrapped around the pulleys (1.3.1 ) that its teeth matching with the teeth of the pulleys

(1.3.1 ); at least two triple pulleys (1.3.4) located inside triple pulley bearings (1.3.8) on the rail (1.3) ends near to the wall (2) except the top and the bottom layers, transmitting the motion coming from the belt (1.3.2) located at the top layer to the lower layers via rack gears (1.3.3) located at the bottom of the rails, and if the rail (1.3) layers are more than two on each other, located on each middle layer rail (1.3) pair; and a groove (1.6), which provides flow of water that is accumulated on the folding awning system (1 ) from a determined point, which is attached to the bottom layer rail (1.3) pair that are located farthest to the wall (2), which drain off the water on it from a drain pipe (1.6) and two of its ends are closed by edge coverings (1.6.2) or closed intrinsicly.

The panel (1.4) has the ability to connect to the said rails (1.3) from its sides directly or via the rail connection element (1.2).

The lighting panel (1.5) has the ability to connect to said rails (1.3) from its sides directly or via the rail connection element (1.2).

The movement element (1.3.5) is positioned so as to be fixed to the top face of said rail (1.3) closely to the wall (2). The multi-bearing actuating element (1.3.6) is positioned so as to be fixed to the top face of said rail (1.3) closely to the wall (2), next to said movement element (1.3.5) so as to be between the wall (2) and said movement element (1.3.5).

The movement member (1.3.5) comprises at least one bearing on its fixed body, the axis of rotation being perpendicular to said rail (1.3) and horizontal to the ground. The multi-bearing actuating (1.3.6) comprises a plurality of bearings on the fixed body and the axis of rotation is perpendicular to said rail (1.3) and horizontal to the ground.

The movement element (1.3.5) has the feature of its bearing to be able to travel in the space in the rail (1.3) and to be large enough not to come out of it. The movement element (1.3.5) and the multi-bearing actuator element (1.3.6) which are seen in Figure 3, ensure that the rails (1.3) below are to be attached to the rails (1.3) located above by progressing inside the space under the rail (1.3). At the same time, due to the friction-reducing feature of the bearings, the lower rail (1.3) gains longitudinal free movement according to the upper rail (1.3).

The multi-bearing actuator (1.3.6) has bearings that can progress inside rails (1.3) and have a width which does not extend the space inside the rail (1.3).

The multi-bearing actuator (1.3.6) has the property of its bearings being attached to a part which is fixed from its center to a body that is attached to the rail (1.3) and which can rotate in the same direction as the axis of rotation of the bearings. The rack gear (1.3.3) is located below the rails (1.3) except the pair of rails (1.3) in the bottom layer, with the teeth positioned along the rail (1.3) to match the triple pulley (1.3.4) teeth.

The lighting panel (1.5) optionally includes a lighting cover (1.5.1 ) which protects the lighting element from external factors.

The groove (1.6) has an open geometry so as to have a volume capable of trapping water.

The suspension (1.8) has the property that one end is fixed to the wall (2) and the other end to the rails (1.3) pairs located on the top layer. In addition, the suspension (1.8) has the capacity to carry at least half the weight of the entire folding awning system (1 ). In this way, carries all the folding awning system (1 ) by connecting the rails (1.3) to the wall (2) with the wall fastener (1.9).

The folding awning system (1 ) is made of high-strength materials such as wood, metal, etc.

The folding awning system (1 ) is characterized by; It is waterproof so as to transmit the water on it by the groove (1.6) only. The motor (1.10.1 ) is located at the closest point to the wall (2) in the motor carrier profile (1.10) located behind the sealing profile (1.7), that is located between the pair of rails (1.3) located at the top layer. In addition, in a different version the motor (1.10.1 ) can transmit the movement to the pulleys (1.3.1 ) on the rails (1.3) by means of gears from a different position.
