Automated awning

The present invention relates to automated awnings, more particularly to an automated awning capable of opening and closing automatically, therefore saving space, operation time and manpower.

The conventional automated awnings used in automobiles shield solar radiations from inside the car, which cannot prevent the absorption of solar radiations by the car bodies and the temperature rise within the cars. It is a further disadvantage that the awnings should be installed on each of the car windows and the wind shield and that they have to be taken down when the car is in use, which is very inconvenient. Another type of awnings is for being used with outside coffee tables. The awnings of this type have large surface area, which are difficult to install and will occupy storage space when they are not in use. Therefore, the present invention provides an automated awning capable of opening and closing automatically, thereby saving space, operation time and manpower.

The present invention relates to automated awnings, more particularly to an automated awning capable of opening and closing automatically, therefore saving space, operation time and manpower. The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawings.

To achieve above object, the present invention provides an automated awning, comprising: a screw rod for urging a first support rod and a second support rod to slide along an axial direction, the also pushing a free rotor and a fixed rotor so as to drive a main support bracket and a first main support rod; a tube body enclosing the screw rod and mounted on a mount, the a tube body further including; a first support rod is provided with a block piece, whereby the first support rod will be stopped by a ring stop on one side of the tube body, a front end of the first support rod being further provided with a fixing mount, whereby a first support rod and a tube body will be held together tightly by an outer ring stop of the tube body; a second support rod with a top fixing mount provided with inner grooves of different depth, a slopped surface and an inner screw thread, the second support rod containing a free rotor and a fixed rotor, the second support rod further including a block piece for engaging with ring stop at one end of the first support rod; a main shaft connected to the screw rod through a sleeve by a screw; and a main support bracket disposed between the main shaft and the second support rod, the main support bracket further comprising a first main support rod with one end connected to the main support bracket and driven by the main support bracket to carry a main link rod and a first link rod, a main link rod with a first end connected to a fixing mount of a second main support rod and a second end connected to a predetermined location on the first main support rod, a first link rod attached with a spring with a first end provided with a teeth strip that is engaged with a gear wheel on a second main support rod and a second end connected to a predetermined location on the main link rod, a second main support rod attached with a spring with a first end provided with a teeth strip that is engaged with a gear wheel on a first main support rod and a second end connected to a predetermined location on a third main support rod, a second link rod with a first end connected to the first main support rod and a second end connected to a third main support rod and a third main support rod with free first end and a second end connected to the second main support rod and the second link rod.
