A Shading System For Covering An Underlying Space And Method For Covering An Underlying Surface
Patent No. EP3591136 (titled "A Shading System For Covering An Underlying Space And Method For Covering An Underlying Surface") was filed by Helios Trading on Jul 6, 2018. The application was issued on Aug 24, 2022.
Patent Summary
A shading system for covering an underlying space comprises a housing extending along a longitudinal housing direction and a plurality of shading blades extending traverse to said direction. The blades move between a closed position and at least one open position via a coupling system. This system includes a first rail, translating along the housing direction via an actuator, and a second rail; each blade is rotatably coupled to both rails at first and second coupling points, respectively. A coupling element, rotatably coupled to the housing and the second rail, limits the second rail's translation, thereby rotating the blades. A rain gutter extends along the housing direction below the blades.
