In the drawing, a support tube 1 is shown, which by means of two mounting brackets 2 on the wall is attached. On the support tube 1 is again are attached, the articulated arms, not shown in the drawing. Furthermore, not shown in the drawing a cloth winding shaft with Storage attached to the support tube 1 from which the awning fabric, to its leading edge is attached a front rail, the extension of the articulated arms is subtracted by the articulated arms pivotally mounted on the outsides attacking the front rail. Since the hinge arms rotatably with the supporting tube 1 are connected, corresponds to a pivoting of the supporting tube 1 about its longitudinal axis 3 a change in inclination of the articulated arms. The storage and the pivoting possibility of the support tube 1 is described in detail below:

The mounting bracket 2 has a plate-like wall mounting section 4 with holes 5 for fastening screws. From bottom End of the wall mounting section 4, a bearing portion extending 6 outwardly away, on the outside thereof a threaded hole 7 for a Retaining screw is formed. 8 Intermediate fastening section 4 and Hole 7 is the bearing portion 6 with a partially circular recess 9 is provided, whose radius corresponds to the radius of the support tube first Accordingly can during the assembly process, the carrier tube 1 in this bearing section 6 initially filed. A holding portion 10 of the mounting bracket 2 has a shoulder 11 which form-fit into a corresponding Recess 12 on a projection 13 of the mounting portion 4 engages. The holding portion 10 also has a recess 14, which in cross section part-circular with a corresponding Radius as the support tube 1 is formed and, accordingly, the can support tube 1 via positively engage from above. At the outer end of the holding portion 10 is formed a threaded bore 15, with the the threaded bore 7 of the bearing portion 6 is aligned so that a retaining screw 8 can be screwed from below, against the holding portion 10 the bearing portion 6 braced and thereby defines the support tube. 1

The support tube has a lateral recess 16 in the form of a cross-sectionally part-circular in groove, into which a correspondingly shaped Cam 17 engages, followed by a parallel guide portion adjoins 18, which runs approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the cam and in a corresponding parallel guide portion 19 of the attachment portion 4 parallel to the wall contact surface 20 of the mounting bracket 2 is performed. The parallel guide portion 18 with the cam 17 is connected, has a threaded bore into which an adjusting screw 21 engages the head 22 at the bottom 23 of a blind bore is supported, which is screwed from the lower side in the mounting portion 4 becomes.
