The operation of the attachment may be
reviewed as follows:
The awning .7 when in unrolled or low-
ered position has the stay bar 6 thereof en-
s gaged by the hooked portion 10 of the arm
8,, whereupon the outer end of the arm 12
is swung downwardly, causing.the cam sur-
face thereof to be engaged with the adja-
cent face of the sill 1, which action will
10 cause the lower portion of .the awning to be
drawn inwardly by the arm 8 and locked in
a fixed position, when the said outer end of
the arm 12 has been moved to its lowermost
position, that is, when the cam -surfage as
15 afforded by the curved portion 14 is posi-
tively engaged with thew sill 1.. Obviously,
by so locking the awning in position, with-
drawal of the same, will be prevented and
therefore, any attempts which might he
20 made to gain entrance at this point will be
defeated.
While- I have herein illustrated and de-
scribed with a considerable degree of par-
ticularity, constructional details of the de-
25 vice embodying my invention, I do not wish
to be understood as confining the invention
to the-particular form shown, nor to the .ex-
act construction, arrangement and adapta-
tion of the parts shown and described, but I
30 reserve the right to make any changes and
alterations that fairly fall within the spirit
and scopa of the invention.
What is claimed is:
1. In an-awning lock, the combination of
35 a support, an arm projecting from said sup-
port, said arm terminating in a hooked por-
tion, said hooked portion projecting toward
said support, said hooked. portion being
adapted to receive the bar of an awning and
40 means for holding said arm in an adjusted
set position.
2. In an awning lock, the combination of
*a support, an arm slidably mounted upon
said support, said arm having a hooked por-
45 tion extending toward said support., said
hooked portion being adapted to receive an
awning bar, and a cam adjustably mounted
upon said arm, said cam being adapted to
engage said support for holding said arm
50 -inan adjusted set position.
3. In an awning lock, the combination of
a support, an arm slidably mounted thereonand projecting thereon its outer surface,
said arm terminating in a hooked portion
extending toward said support, said arm 55
having openings formed adjacent its inner
end, a second arm having a cam formed
thereon, pivot means passing through said
last mentioned arm and one of the openings
in the first mentioned arm, whereby said 60
last mentioned arm may be swung, thereby
causing said cam -to draw upon said first
mentioned arm for moving said hooked por-
tion toward said support,; whereby an awi-
ing bar carried by said hooked portion may 65
bejheld in set position.
4. In an awning lock, the combinatioji of
an arm formed from a flat piece of material
and twisted intermediate its ends, the .outer
edi of said arm terminating in a hooked 70
portion, a flat arm pivotally mounted upon
the other end of said first mentioned arn, a
cam formed upon said last mentioned arm,
whereby as said last mentioned arm is
swung, said carp will cause said last men- 75
tioned arm to draw upon said first men-
tioned arm, thereby holding an awning bar,
which may be carried by said hooked por-
tion in set position.
5. In an awning lock, the combination of so
a support having openings formed there-
through, plates fixedly mounted upon said
openings and having rectangular openings
formed therein, said openings extending at
right angles to each other', an arm formed 85
from a flat strip of material twisted inter-
mediate its ends and extending through said
openings, whereby said plates will steady
said arm, said arm having a hooked outer
end, said hooked outer end being adapted 0o
to receive an awning bar, ain arm pivotally
mounted upon the inner end of said first
mentioned arm, said list mentioned arm
having a cam formed thereon, whereby
when said last mentioned arm is swung, it 95
will draw upon said first mentioned arm for
retaining said hooked portion in an ad-
justed set position.
In testimony whereof I affix my signa-
ture in presence of two witnesses.
