摘要

The invention provides a load-bearing element (22) which extends approximately over the entire width of the awning, the load-bearing element (22) being fastened on the building by means of brackets (12). The load-bearing element (22) is designed as a narrow central web. The central web is arranged between an awning-canvas shaft (19) and the pivot bearings (29), which are located approximately at the same level as the awning-canvas shaft (19) and of which there are usually two. These bearings (29) can tilt about a horizontal axis (31). The central web (22), provided with a foot part (23) which is releasably fastened in a groove (24) in the extension arm (13) and projects perpendicularly, projects vertically upwards from the extension arm (13), running horizontally beneath the awning-canvas shaft (19), of each bracket (12), a tilt-delimiting means (38) acting, at one end, on the upper end part of the central web (22) and, at the other end, on the pivot bearing (29). An opening-out rod (52) is designed in a U-shape in cross-section and, when the articulation arms (43) are collapsed, the outer leg (54), projecting from the web (53), of said rod partly engages over the lower arm (46). By means of a configuration of this type, the amount of space taken up, when the awning is in the retracted position, in the horizontal and also in the vertical extent can be kept very low. The amount of space taken up in the vertical extent is determined essentially by the diameter of the awning-canvas roll. IMAGE
