    [0001] Field of application The present invention relates to an outdoor awning.
    [0002] The blind in question is intended to be used for the covering of external surfaces to protect them from atmospheric agents and, in particular, sun and rain. The awning in question is suitable for producing pergolas, verandahs and more generally covering structures, both in private housing gardens and in open spaces of public places, such as, for example, restaurants, hotels, bathing establishments. or other structures. Said blind can be anchored to the wall, ceiling or beam of a building or can be of the isolated type, being supported by a dedicated support structure self-supporting type. The blind which is the subject of the present invention is part of the industrial sector of the manufacture of blinds for covering outdoor spaces. STATE OF THE ART A large number of outdoor awning solutions are known on the market, including a support structure which is fixed to the ground and / or leaned against the wall of a building 20 and is provided with two lateral spars between which is suspended a cover canvas of an underlying floor surface. In more detail, the two longitudinal members are supported, on one of their front ends, by two vertical uprights, and are fixed, on one of their rear ends, to a vertical wall, such as for example the wall of a building adjacent to the surface to cover. In particular, there are known on the market fold type blinds in which the awning fabric is suspended above the surface to be covered fixed to a plurality of windbreak profiles, which are placed transversely to the side rails and their ends are slidably engaged in slides prepared on these same longitudinal members using for example sliding carriages.
    [0003] Also provided are means for driving the profiles of the blind, which comprise driving belts housed inside the longitudinal members and able to move the windbreak profiles along the wings of these same longitudinal members, to set in motion the web between an extended position, wherein the latter is substantially extended above the surface to be covered and a picked position, wherein the aforesaid profiles are leaning against each other with the fabric which is collected in a plurality of folds side by side, each of which extends between a pair of successive profiles. The rails of the awning support structure are normally placed inclined downwards from their rear end (fixed to the wall) at their front end (supported by the uprights) to drain the rainwater to the front side of the blind. . Awnings are known on the market, the front end of each spar is hinged to the top of the corresponding amount by means of a ball joint provided with a horizontal axis of rotation, to allow, during the installation phase of the blind, to Adjust the inclination of the rails to place them at the desired slope for the flow of rainwater. For example, the patent application WO 2012/153357 discloses an outer blind provided with ball joints, each of which comprising a connecting body attached to the top of the corresponding upright and placed between two parallel plates attached to the front end of the spar corresponding. The connecting body is articulated on the two plates to allow in the installation phase to place the spar with different inclinations relative to the amount. In more detail, the connecting body of each ball joint is provided with several holes in which the corresponding pins are fixed, which are inserted in the corresponding curved grooves formed on the plates fixed to the spar and extending by arcs of a circumference having its center on the axis of rotation of the ball joint. In the installation phase of the blind, it is possible to rotate the plates (fixed to the beam) relative to the corresponding connecting body (attached to the upright), by means of the relative sliding of the pins fixed to the connecting body inside the curved grooves of the plates, in order to adjust the inclination of the spar with respect to the upright. In addition, the blind comprises three pairs of cover shells for each ball joint, of which a first pair of shells for the coating of the connecting element attached to the stud, a second pair of shells for coating the plates attached to the spar. , and a third pair of shells to cover the pins of the connecting body and the curved grooves of the plates. A disadvantage of the known type of blind, described in the patent application WO 2012/153357 is that it does not allow to fix in a particularly solid way the longitudinal members to the corresponding amounts because of possible differences in position of the pegs of the body of connection in the corresponding curved grooves of the ball joint plates.

In addition, each ball joint 15 comprises a traction element 21 placed as a connection between the first and the second rotating body 19, 20 and operable to vary the distance between the first and the second rotating body 19 20 in order to adjust the inclination of the second connecting body 17 with respect to the first connecting body 16, so as to adjust the inclination of the corresponding spar 3 relative to the corresponding upright 2 in the mounting phase of the awning 1. particular, each upright 2 defines with the spar 3 corresponding an angle a which extends between the first and second development direction X and Y respectively of the upright 2 and the spar 3. The opening of this angle a depends proportionally onnelle of the distance between the two rotating bodies 19, 20 regulated by means of the traction element 21. The upright 2 being arranged in a vertical position, to a greater extent of the angle a between the upright 2 and the spar 3 respectively, there is a greater inclination of the latter relative to the ground.
    [0015] Advantageously, the first and second rotating bodies 19, 20 are respectively provided with a first and a second transverse hole 22, 23 orthogonal with respect to the first and second axes of rotation W 1, W 2 and preferably developing through way through the rotating body 19, 20 corresponding.
    [0016] In addition, the traction element 21 comprises an elongated body 21 ', preferably in the form of a rod, advantageously formed by a set screw 24, and inserted in said transverse holes 22, 23 of the rotating bodies 19, 20. In particular , the elongated body 21 'is provided with a first end portion 25' secured to the first rotating body 19 (mounted on the first connecting body 16 fixed to the upright 2) and a second end portion 25 "secured to the second rotating body 20 (mounted on the second connecting body 17 fixed to the spar 3), so as to hold the two rotating bodies 19, 20 at a determined distance, provided during the assembly phase of the blind 1 and which determines a magnitude corresponding angle α between the first and the second connecting body 16, 17 of the ball joint 15 and consequently determines the corresponding inclination of the spar 3 with respect to the upright 2. Preferably, at least one of said parts of end 25 ', 25 " of the elongate body 21 'is engaged by screwing into the rotating body 19, 20, corresponding, so as to be able to actuate the elongate body 21' by screwing and unscrewing to vary the distance between the two rotating bodies 19, 20.
    [0017] In accordance with the embodiment illustrated in the accompanying figures, the elongated body 21 'of the traction element 21 is obtained, as explained above, by means of the adjusting screw 24, which is provided with a threaded rod 24 'inserted in the transverse holes 22, 23 of the rotating bodies 19, 20 and threadably engaged at the first end portion 25' on the first rotating body 19; in addition, the adjusting screw 24 is provided on the second end portion 25 "with a head 24" engaged in abutment with the second rotating body 20. Preferably, the stem 24 'of the adjusting screw 24 is inserted wildly inside the second transverse hole 23 of the second rotating body 20 (which abuts the head 24 "of the adjusting screw 24) and is screwed into the first threaded through hole 22 of the first rotating body 19. Operationally, by screwing the adjusting screw 24 in the first transverse hole 22 of the first rotating body 19, the head 24 "of the adjusting screw 24 is caused to act in abutment on the second rotating body 20 in such a way as to pull the two rotating bodies 19, 20 towards each other. Consequently, the first and second connecting bodies 16, 17 of the ball joint 15 (on which the first and the second rotating bodies 19, 20 are respectively mounted) are urged to rotate (about the axis Z of the pivot 18 ) towards each other by decreasing the magnitude of the angle a between the corresponding upright 2 and the corresponding spar 3. The amount 2 being intended to be fixed vertically to the ground, this comprises a corresponding reduction of the inclination of the spar 3 relative to the ground. By unscrewing the adjusting screw 24 of the first transverse hole 22 of the first rotating body 19, the head 24 "of the adjusting screw 24 is moved away from the second rotating body 20, thus enabling the latter to be moved away from the first rotating body 19. In this way, the first and second connecting bodies 16, 17 of the ball joint 15 can be turned away from each other thereby increasing the magnitude of the angle α between the corresponding upright 2 and the spar 3. correspondingly, thereby increasing the inclination of the spar 3 relative to the ground, In particular, following the actuation by screwing or unscrewing of the adjusting screw 24, the variation of the distance between the two rotating bodies 19, 20 of the respective ball joint 15 (and the corresponding variation of the angle between the two respective connecting bodies 16, 17) comprises consecutive variations of the angles defined between the adjusting screw 24 and each connecting element 16, 17, these Speedo ions being determined by the corresponding rotations of each rotating body 19, 20 around the respective axis of rotation W1, W2.
    [0018] Advantageously, the first and the second axis of rotation W 1, W 2 respectively of the first and second rotating bodies 19, 20 are placed essentially at the same distance from the axis Z of the pivot 18. In this way, the first and the second rotating body 19, 20 are placed in a symmetrical position relative to the bisector of the angle a between spar 3 and upright 2. Therefore, the adjusting screw 24 (placed as a connection between the two rotating bodies 19, 20) is placed orthogonally to the bisector of the angle a, regardless of the magnitude value of said angle α (and therefore regardless of the inclination of the spar 3 relative to the amount 2). In this way, the adjusting screw 24 is always placed with an angle of inclination with respect to the first connecting body 16 equal to the angle of inclination with respect to the second connecting body 17, having a symmetrical distribution of forces and angular displacements on the two connecting bodies 16, 17. In accordance with a different embodiment of the present invention (not shown in the accompanying figures), the elongated body 21 'of the traction element 21 of each ball joint 15 is obtained by means of a threaded rod engaged by screwing to the two rotating bodies 19, 20 through the corresponding nuts screwed to the corresponding end portions 25 ', 25 "of the elongated body 21' and engaged in abutment on the rotating body corresponding 19, 20. Advantageously, the first connecting body 16 of each ball joint 15 (attached to the upright 2) comprises a first flange 26 provided with a first base 26 'integrally secured to the corresponding amount 2, and two first arms 26 "developing parallel to each other projecting from the first base 26 ', preferably orthogonal to the latter.

Then, it was envisaged a second phase of fixing the coating profile 33 of each spar 3 to the second flange 27 of the second connecting body 17 of the corresponding ball joint 15, preferably by means of secon fixing screws 5. In this second fixing phase the front edge 33 'of the covering profile 3 is placed substantially adjacent to the upper edge 31' of the first tubular body 31 of the upright 2. Next, it has been envisaged a clamping phase of each ball joint 15, in which the corresponding adjusting screw 24 is screwed to pull the two connecting bodies 16, 17 towards each other so as to compress the front edge 33 'of the covering profile 33 against the upper edge 31 'of the first tubular body 31 of the upright 2, thereby fixing the coating profile 33 and the upright 2 in the desired position. In particular, the adjusting screw 24 of each ball joint 15 prevents the remote rotation of the corresponding connecting bodies 16, 17, thereby preventing variations in inclination between the corresponding upright 2 and the corresponding spar 3.
    [0024] In addition, said clamping phase makes it possible to eliminate any significant crack between the upper edge 31 'of each upright 2 and the front edge 33' of the covering profile 33 of the corresponding spar 3 by pushing the two edges 31 ', 33' in contact with each other. One against the other. Advantageously, the coating profile 33 is provided with a second through slot, placed aligned with the first through slot 30 of the second connecting body 17 of the ball joint 15, in order to allow the operator to reach the head 24 ". of the adjusting screw 24 during the above-mentioned clamping phase, said operational phases for mounting the blind 1 are advantageously carried out near the manufacturing seat of the blind 1 itself, making it possible to provide the installers with the uprights 2 with the corresponding ball joints 15 and the covering profiles 33 of the corresponding longitudinal members 3 already completely mounted On the installation site of the blind 1, the operators will simply have to fix the uprights 2 on the ground, insert the drive means of the wire 9 into the second tubular bodies 32 3, fix the rear ends 6 of the latter to the wall and then fix the second tubular bodies 32 of the longitudinal members 3 to the second bodies of connection 17 of the ball joints 15 of the corresponding uprights 2, preferably by means of said first fixing screws 34. The invention thus conceived realizes the pre-established objectives accordingly.
