(57) The invention relates to the technical field of the sunshade awning control, and
in particular to a device for rotatively driving an awning control rod.
The technical problem on which the present invention is based is to provide such a
device with fully automatic operation features in order to avoid the need for any
manual effort, as well as with a simple low cost construction, so that additionally
to being convenient to use it can find widespread application potentials.
The problem is solved by the provision of a device comprising a substantially closed
body (7,7a) rotatably engageable with one end of an awning (1) control rod (2) and
at least one handgrip (8,23a) enabling an operator to handle said body (7,7a), as
well as an internally mounted electric motor (16,16a), a reduction gear (14,14a) connecting
said electric motor (16,16a) to said rod (2) and including a number of gear pairs
defining a high step-down ratio, members (17,17a) for supplying an electric current
to said electric motor, and control elements (19,19a) for said electric motor (16,16a)
enabling an operator to selectively control the motor direction of rotation.
