Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2136013A2] The awning has a pivoted fabric shaft, from which a cloth (1) is developed. Guide rails (7,8) are held in an area from a cross beam (10), where the area is provided in an extending direction. Sheets (14,15) of the guide rails are positioned, such that an extending profile (6) lowers downward after running down the cross beam. The cloth lies on the cross beam, and is clamped over the cross beam.
