Description

The present invention relates to a telescopic tent roof that is provided at the eaves of a store or the like and is configured to be stretchable in order to block sunlight and rain.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a stretchable tent roof configured to be stretchable has been provided at the eaves of a store or the like in order to block sunlight and rain for display goods at storefronts, customers, and the like.
If such a telescopic tent roof device is provided, the tent roof is extended only when necessary, such as when it is raining, when the sun is strong, and the sun is blocked or rain is prevented. It is possible to achieve the protection of displayed goods and the convenience of visitors.

However, if the telescopic tent roof is extended for the purpose of preventing rain, the rainwater will flow down from the tip of the telescopic tent roof due to the fact that the tip is extended obliquely downward. It does not mean that sufficient rain countermeasures are taken.
In particular, when shops are lined up facing each other across the passage, and the stretchable tent roofs are provided at the shops on both sides, the ends of the two stretchable tent roofs are almost at the same position in the center of the passage. Because it will exist, the amount of rainwater that flows down will double, and the damage caused by rainwater will increase. In other words, the rain water that flows down from the front ends of both the telescopic tent roofs becomes like a white waterfall, so that it is no longer possible for visitors to pass through and do business.

Moreover, what was described in patent document 1 is proposed as what can prevent rain water falling directly from the front-end | tip part of an awning.
The awning described in Patent Document 1 includes an awning basic unit, a lateral fixed seat unit, a water guide groove unit, and a water collecting joint unit in which a waterproof cloth serving as an awning is disposed. The fixed seat unit fixes the awning foundation unit between parallel walls, etc., and the awning foundation unit consists of a take-up shaft, a take-up device, an extendable arm and a waterproof cloth, and can be expanded and contracted by winding the waterproof cloth with the take-up device. Adjustable arm and waterproof cloth deployment width, the water guide groove unit on the leading edge of the waterproof cloth collects rainwater from the holes at the bottom ends corresponding to the position of the water collection joint unit when the telescopic arm is fully deployed To send to. A plurality of sheet-type water-conducting expansion / contraction awnings are arranged in parallel so that the front edge provided with the water-conducting groove unit is covered by the fixed seat unit of the next row of awnings.
By employing the awning of this configuration, it is possible to reliably prevent the inconvenience that rainwater flows down directly from the waterproof cloth by deploying the telescopic arm to the maximum when it rains.

However, when the awning described in Patent Document 1 is applied to a store, it is not provided to extend and retract in the forward direction, but is provided to expand and contract in the horizontal direction. As a result, the space in front of the store is not clean.
In addition, the water collecting joint unit must be provided so as to correspond to the holes at both ends of the water guiding groove unit when the telescopic arm is fully deployed, so the water collecting joint is particularly suitable when it is not raining. The unit becomes an obstruction in the traffic area in front of the store.
Furthermore, if a state where the telescopic arm is not fully deployed due to a mistake appears, rainwater will flow directly from the holes at both ends of the bottom of the water guide groove unit.

The member SP is connected via the rotary joint rod member RJ, and the rod member TT and the telescopic pipe rod member SP are connected via the rotary joint rod member. The action can be performed.
As a result, rainwater that has fallen on the tent member TYt is guided through the eaves member NT, the extension pipe anchor member SP, and the anchor member TT, so that the space below the extension tent roof device can be comfortably walked. be able to.
As a result, the store can operate without any inconvenience even on rainy days.

As shown in FIG. 4, even when the telescopic tent roof apparatus is extended from the opposite store, the rainwater that has fallen on the respective tent members TYt becomes the eaves anchor member NT, the telescopic pipe anchor member SP, and the anchor member. It will be guided through TT, and the space under both the telescopic tent roof devices can be made a comfortable walking space.
In other words, when there is no eaves member, rainwater flowed down from the tip of both tent members vigorously, hindering walking and supporting business, but according to the above embodiment. As a result, the effects of rainwater were almost eliminated.
On the other hand, on a pleasant sunny day, the tent member TYt may be wound up and the telescopic tent roof device should be contracted, and the space in front of the store should be completely free of obstacles for walking. (See FIG. 2).
When the shops are facing each other, as shown in FIG. 5, the space between the shops can be made in a state where there is nothing that obstructs walking.
