Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, a bracket assembly for a lateral arm of an awning support system, the bracket assembly including: a bracket mount to mount said bracket assembly to a surface from which the awning extends; an arm mount for the vertically pivotal attachment to the bracket mount of the proximal end of the lateral arm; and a spring operatively connected between the bracket mount and the arm mount to normally maintain the lateral arm in an equilibrium position, but to allow the lateral arm to rotate vertically from the equilibrium position to absorb the vertical component of an excessive load on the awning and/or to permit the awning to shed the condition producing the excessive load.

Abstract: A frame assembly, such as for an awning or canopy, includes a master rib having identical keyways running the longitudinal length of the rib. Each keyway is defined by an opposing pair of sidewalls extending lengthwise in the longitudinal direction. The sidewalls are each formed integrally with a plurality of threadlines extending in the longitudinal direction which face opposite from and are offset in the depthwise direction by a given pitch from those of the other sidewall, so as to form threadable surfaces for a screw to be threaded therein. A cleat member has a body portion with a depthwise bore so that a threaded screw can be inserted depthwise and project from its lower end into the keyway and the master rib. The cleat member can be fastened to the master rib at any position along its longitudinal length. The cleat member preferably has a mating cleat which projects from the lower end into the keyway, or brackets against the sides of the master rib wall, so as to guide and hold the cleat member firmly in position. The cleat member can then be fastened to a lateral arm, cross rib, angle rib, hinged member, or other frame part. The frame assembly is used to construct an awning support system or a canopy system without any need for welding at the installation site, and can be readily disassembled and reassembled. In a further embodiment, the keyway is provided with smooth walls and a self-tapping or similar screw forms threads in the walls as the screw is advanced into the keyway.

Abstract translation: 诸如用于遮篷或冠层的框架组件包括具有延伸肋的纵向长度的相同键槽的母肋。 每个键槽由在纵向方向上纵向延伸的相对的一对侧壁限定。 侧壁各自与沿着纵向方向延伸的多条丝线形成一体，所述多条丝线在另一个侧壁的纵向方向上延伸一定距离，从而在纵向方向上以一定的间距偏移，从而形成用于螺纹的可螺纹的螺纹 其中。 防滑板构件具有主体部分，其具有深度方向的孔，使得螺纹螺钉可以从其下端深入地插入并突出到键槽和母肋中。 防滑钉构件可以沿其纵向长度的任何位置紧固到主肋。 防滑板构件优选地具有从下端突入到键槽中的匹配防滑板，或支架抵靠主肋壁的侧面，以便将防滑钉构件牢固地引导并保持就位。 然后可以将防滑钉构件紧固到横向臂，横肋，角肋，铰接构件或其它框架部件。 框架组件用于构造遮阳篷支撑系统或遮阳系统，而不需要在安装地点进行焊接，并且可以容易地拆卸和重新组装。 在另一个实施例中，键槽设置有光滑的壁，并且当螺钉进入键槽时，自攻螺纹或类似的螺钉在壁中形成螺纹。

Abstract: An awning support structure has lateral arms with shoulder ends which are pivotably mounted to load-adjusting mounting members secured to a mounting portion of a building. The load-adjusting mounting members allow the lateral arms to deflect in the upward or downward directions, in order to allow the awning structure to absorb and/or shed the load. The preferred mounting members have urethane compression joints securing the shoulder ends of the lateral arms to shoulder brackets fixed to a support tube which is secured to the building.
