Protective awning for scaffolding and tubular structures

摘要

A protective awning for scaffolding and tubular structures of the type generally used in restoration of buildings and construction in general. A laminar piece of cloth, canvas or similar material constituting the awning proper is fitted on a bearing structrue formed from tubular elements welded together. The bearing structure is finished at the bottom by vertical sections with a sleeve welded to the free or bottom ends thereof, in which sleeves the top ends belonging to the structure of the scaffolding are housed and attached, and are fixed by radial screws provided in the sleeves. The extreme lateral zones have a bar for the passage of the awning over them, each of which is complemented by a mechanism for securing the awning to the bearing structure. The mechanism is formed by sections welded to the structure which are fixed to each other, through which there passes a screw with a nut for tightening the cloth of the awning, the head of said screw being positioned in a hollow bar which is passed through a sleeve attached to the awning.
