Sliding roof shade

Abstract

Sliding roof shed, especially apt to provide shelter from the sun, rain, hail, snow to large surfaces such as parking lots in shopping centers or the like, which consists of a supporting structure defined by L profiles separately arranged, among which the surface to be covered is defined, from which the vertical post is integral of the ground and the remaining longitudinal beam is away from the ground as much as necessary. A laminar sheltering surface is placed between two horizontal posts, away from each other, which may be defined by a cloth, canvas, plastic sheet or the like, rectangular frame, which presents, in correspondence with its lateral edges, several interface accessories each of which holds at least one wheel that slides on a rail affixed to the above-referred longitudinal beam. Devices helping operator move the sheltering surface may be added, such as a rod affixed to its free extremes or a mechanism having steel wires affixed to its edge, together with an operating handle. The lower edge of this surface may be tensed with a descending pitch so as to enable rainwater drainage.

I claim:  
     
         1 . SLIDING ROOF SHED, especially apt to cover large surfaces such as parking lots or the like, characterized by the fact that it consists of an L-shaped supporting structure arranged separately from one another, among which the surface to be covered is defined, said “L” includes a vertical post integral of the ground and a longitudinal beam that is as far away from the ground as may be necessary, between two of these longitudinal beams a sheltering laminar surface is placed, which in its lateral edge presents holding devices in a sliding system capable of sliding on a rail set on the structure of the support.  
     
     
         2 . SLIDING ROOF SHED, in pursuance of  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the said supporting structure is defined by L profiles made of one of the following materials: iron, steel, plastic, aluminum, concrete, wood.  
     
     
         3 . SLIDING ROOF SHED, in pursuance of  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that several of the above-mentioned holding devices in the rail are affixed to the longitudinal beam in the supporting structure, each the these holding devices having two semi-profiles joined to each other by means of bolts, thus forming a C-shaped rail inside of which the sliding device is set.  
     
     
         4 . SLIDING ROOF SHED, in pursuance of  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the said sheltering surface comprises a part of folding laminar material of a rectangular shape, made of one of the following materials: cloth, canvas, plastic sheet, frame.  
     
     
         5 . SLIDING ROOF SHED, in pursuance of  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the said sheltering surface includes different interface accessories duly affixed to its lateral edges and in each of which at least one wheel is affixed, which defines the above-referred sliding medium and is capable of sliding on a rail mounted in the sliding surface.  
     
     
         6 . SLIDING ROOF SHED, in pursuance of  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the longitudinal beam presents one of the following sections: T, double T, round.  
     
     
         7 . SLIDING ROOF SHED, in pursuance of  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the referred sliding medium is defined by a wheel affixed to a metal L profile which, in turn, is affixed to a ring that is also affixed to the edge of the sheltering surface.  
     
     
         8 . SLIDING ROOF SHED, in pursuance of  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the said sliding medium is defined by two/four wheels joined to one another by an axle that is affixed to metal strip which, in turn, is affixed to an interface accessory that is also affixed to the edge of the sheltering surface.  
     
     
         9 . SLIDING ROOF SHED, in pursuance of  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the back edge in the sheltering surface is tensed in a descending direction so as to create a pitch for drainage.  
     
     
         10 . SLIDING ROOF SHED, in pursuance of  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that to the sheltering surface is linked at least one device capable of helping the operator in making it slide on the rail, selected from: a bar affixed to the front edges of the sheltering surface, a steel wire, a rod attached to a handle and affixed to the edge of the sheltering surface.
