Abstract 684,792. Awnings. BARKER & CO., Ltd., J. March 22, 1951 [Sept. 12, 1950], No. 22454/50. Class 20 (i). A garden shade comprises an open frame 1, e.g. of tubular steel, and a fabric cover attachable thereto, e.g. by bolts 21, the frame 1 being angularly adjustable on an intermediate element 5, which is angularly adjustable on a pole 3. A tube 4 is welded at each end to the frame 1 and passes through a tube 5 welded to a part 2 which is vertically and angularly adjustable in the pole 3. Collars 6, 7, welded to the tube 4 locate it centrally in the tube 5, in which the tube 4 is freely rotatable, thumb-screws 8, 9, permitting the tube 4 to be secured in any angular position. The frame 1 is in two parts hingedly connected at 13, 14 to facilitate storage, latches 15, 16 acting to retain the frame 1 in its open position. In a modification, Fig. 3, (not shown), the tube 5 is connected to the part 2 by means of a ball and socket joint, the tube 4 still being adjustably rotatable in the tube 5. The frame may be any shape, and the cover may have an elastic rim for fitting on the frame instead of relying on the bolts 21.
