A composite covering structure for providing protection against sun and rain comprises a plurality of adjoining and overlapping swinging blades, coupled to a driving mechanism adapted, by a single operation, at first to cause the blades to gradually turn about their longitudinal axis, while being held in a same position, for providing a partial protection against sun, and then to cause said blades to slide on a horizontal plane, so as to compact said blades on a side, for uncovering the previously covered area.

An adjustable protective construction (1), for making covering arrangements, characterized in that said construction comprises a plurality of swinging blade elements (2) mounted on a supporting framework (3) including at least two side beams (4), said side beams (4) supporting respective side gutters (5) and said blade elements (2) being latched to said side gutters (5) through latching pins thereby being able of rotating, all simultaneously, about a longitudinal rotary axis thereof, under a driving force applied by said side gutters (5), each said blade element (2) comprising a section member having a cell pattern cross section and defining a tilted or cambered arrangement.

A modular awning (1) of an articulated arm type, with longitudinal mechanical components (5,7,8,10,11) and a rolling-shutter box (2), split into sectors for facilitating a packaging and shipment, also owing to the small weight of the plastics material box (22). The awning (1) according to the invention is suitable to support continuous cloth material, having a desired width and projection, according to present standards in this field. Differently from conventional awnings, the mechanical components of the inventive awning can be reduced so as to require a very reduced packaging or storing space, thereby rendering the awning easily handled and transported, with a consequent economic transport saving. The size of the packaged modular awning is so reduced that the awning can be transported either in a lifter or in cars.

A modular bearing construction for making structures such as pergolas, roofs, domes and tunnels, characterized in that said construction comprises a plurality of telescopic extensible elements made of an extruded profiles, said construction comprising bayonet couplings and a hinge coupling to connect beams and purlines at a cross point thereof.

An openable covering construction for pergolas and verandas, characterized in that said openable covering construction comprise a plurality of adjoining and partially overlapping bands longitudinally mounted on a supporting frame by a driving system allowing each said bands to be rotated about a longitudinal axis thereof parallel to a sloping side of said covering construction, said driving system driving said bands to at least two positions, a closed position, thereat said bands are partially overlapped onto one another and substantially parallel to the covering construction plane, and an opened position thereat each said band is rotated to a substantially vertical condition with respect to said covering plane, each said band comprising a section member including a contoured surface including, at a side thereof, a perpendicular side wall and, at an opposite side thereof,; a channel defining curved wall, thereby a surface directly exposed to rain of said covering construction forms a water collecting and disposal of channel.

A horizontal withdrawable packet curtain construction comprises a plurality of upward curved covering cloth bearing section members (5) coupling each two adjacent bands of fabric (4) also adapted to operate as cross gutter channels (6) for draining rainwater through rainwater draining end portions (8) comprising a plurality of bottom funnel holes (9) leading to side channels (10) arranged along two horizontal parallel strut beams (2) and top raising elements (11) for raising holding sidewalls.

Il presente trovato ha come oggetto una struttura di gronda perimetrale e i relativi accessori, particolarmente per protezioni frangisole frazionate a doghe basculanti. Come è noto, i sistemi di copertura frangisole a doghe basculanti possono essere utilizzati per realizzare coperture di varie configurazioni, ad esempio una pergola ad isola, oppure una pergola appoggiata al muro, oppure ancora una pergola ad isola a doppia falda. Tali coperture devono essere dotate di appositi canali di gronda ,e di relativi pluviali per raccogliere e convogliare dove si vuole l'acqua piovana , intercettata dalla stessa copertura.
