A cable anchor for a motorized non-vertical awning fabric. The cable anchor includes: a frame (52) having an entry opening (54) for receiving a cable end; a bobbin (56) for winding the cable end thereon; a worm gear (58) fixedly attached to the bobbin; and a worm (60) mounted on the frame and engaged with the worm gear, the worm and worm gear together forming a self-locking worm gear reducer. A self-locking worm gear reducer can only rotate minimally under load. By winding the cable end onto a bobbin, which itself is fixed on the worm gear, the cable end is firmly connected to the self-locking worm gear reducer. A dynamic load (e.g. during winding or unwinding) on the tension cable has no effect on the bobbin due to the self-locking worm gear reduer. The cable anchor according to the present invention therefore has no or only minimal wear on the tension cable.

A slatted roof for a terrace canopy. The slatted roof is provided with a set of parallel slats (7, 7'), wherein two adjacent slats have a different bending resistance. The more rigid slat (7') is intended for carrying, e.g. attaching thereto or integrating therein, of one or more desired components. These components then exert an additional load onto the more rigid slat such that both slats have substantially the same deflection. In this way, functional elements can be attached to a slat of the slatted roof without obtaining a slat with deviating deflection.
A slat roof for a canopy. The slat roof is provided with a set of mutually parallel slats (7), wherein a first slat (7') of said set of slats is provided with a separate elongated core (10) extending through the entire first slat. The elongated core is configured to attach thereto a functional component selected from a plurality of mutually different functional components without affecting a deflection of the first slat. The provision of an elongated core that is separate from the slat allows an additional load to be applied to the first slat without affecting the deflection of the first slat. In this way, functional elements can be attached to a slat of the slat roof without obtaining a slat with deviating deflection.
A terrace canopy comprising a column and a beam (5), the beam being supported by the column (70) at a position between its ends and the beam, at that location, having a recess (100) such that two to facing ends (103, 104) are present in the beam. Fastening means in the form of headboards (60) are provided between the ends of the beam and the column for attaching the beam to the column. The headboards each form a fastening element without a folding line, which creates a stronger connection between the column and the beam.
The invention provides a terrace canopy comprising a support pillar (70) extending in a substantially vertical direction; a first and a second beam (3,4) each extending in a substantially horizontal direction, wherein each beam is provided with a headboard at at least one end; and a corner element (43) positioned between and secured to the support pillar and the beams and provided with a first and a second wall portion. The headboard of the first beam is attached against the first wall portion of the corner element, and the headboard of the second beam is attached against the second wall portion of the corner element. Mutually cooperating alignment means comprising a tongue and groove are provided between each wall portion and the headboard attached thereto, the mutually cooperating alignment means being configured for aligning a beam with respect to the support pillar.

ROOF ARRANGEMENT FOR A TERRACE CANOPY, KIT OF PARTS FOR BUILDING THE ROOF ARRANGEMENT, AND TERRACE CANOPY COMPRISING THE ROOF ARRANGEMENT
A roof arrangement comprising a panel arrangement attached to a frame. The panel arrangement includes N panels slidable between a distributed position and a stacked position; and (N-1) pairs of reinforcing ribs each comprising an upper and a lower reinforcing rib. The sum of the heights of the upper and lower reinforcing ribs of each pair of reinforcing ribs is the same. Each two adjacent panels extend in a different horizontal plane. The bottom sides of all lower reinforcing ribs and the top sides of all upper reinforcing ribs are in a horizontal plane. By providing the frames of adjacent panels in different planes, the mutual positioning of the reinforcing ribs and the variation in length of the upper and lower reinforcing ribs in adjacent panels, it is possible to partially (or completely) slide these adjacent panels over each other without thereby increasing the height. Hence, this limits the stack height.
Roof construction for a canopy. The roof construction is provided with two beams (3, 4) making an angle with each other, each having an inner side and an outer side; a corner piece (600) positioned between the beams, which corner piece has an inner side and an outer side; and a LED strip light that extends substantially continuously over the outer side of said corner piece and over the outer side of at least a part of each of said beams. The provision of a LED strip light on the outer side of the roof construction offers an additional option for providing lighting for a canopy.

At least one recess is provided with an abutment and the slat shaft that is positioned in the recess (21 ) is provided with a locking piece (24) that at its topside at least partially abuts against said abutment. The locking piece (24) and the abutment together ensure vertical locking of the first extremity (11) of the slat (10).
Slat roof with two substantially parallel beams (13, 14) with a set of parallel slats (10) between them that are rotatably secured to the beams (13, 14). A first beam (13) comprises a set of recesses that are open towards the topside. Each slat (10) has at its extremities a slat shaft, wherein the first slat shaft (22) rests in a corresponding recess. At least one recess is provided with an abutment and the slat shaft that is positioned in the recess (21 ) is provided with a locking piece (24) that at its topside at least partially abuts against said abutment.

A terrace canopy comprising a beam which is constructed from a set of profiles. The set includes a beam profile (12) provided to serve as a beam of the terrace canopy, in which the beam profile has an upright inner side wall and a first connection means. The set also comprises two mutually different spacer profiles (16; 24), each of which is attachable to the beam profile via the first connection means. Each spacer profile also has a further connection means (416; 451 ) to which a beam-finishing profile (14; 14a) can be attached, which beam-finishing profiles also form part of the set. The spacer profile determines the distance between the outward facing surface of the beam-finishing profile and the upright wall of the beam profile.
