Patent number: 12129678Abstract: Disclosed is a terrace canopy comprising a beam which is constructed from a set of profiles. The set includes a beam profile 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, each of which is attachable to the beam profile via the first connection means. Each spacer profile also has a further connection means to which a beam-finishing profile 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. Hence, the width of the beam can be varied depending on the type of wall infill.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2021Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: RENSON SUNPROTECTION-SCREENSInventors: Joost De Frene, Kristof Lemiegre, Lennart De Meulemeester, Pieter Brabant, Thomas De Rycke

Patent number: 12123195Abstract: Disclosed is a terrace canopy, comprising a beam which a top side, a bottom side, an inner side and an outer side, and, in its cross-section, is provided with: a screen cavity and a U-shaped space at the bottom side of the beam which is located below the screen cavity and open at its bottom side. The U-shaped space is configured to hold a first profile and a second profile, different from the first profile, and is provided with: a first and a second connection means configured together to hold the first profile or the first connection means and a connection wall portion configured together to hold the second profile. By leaving the U-shaped space open at its bottom side and providing the connection means, it is possible to integrate other profiles into the beam.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2021Date of Patent: October 22, 2024Assignee: RENSON SUNPROTECTION-SCREENSInventors: Joost De Frene, Kristof Lemiegre, Lennart De Meulemeester, Pieter Brabant, Thomas De Rycke

Patent number: 12054950Abstract: Disclosed is a terrace canopy, comprising a beam having a top side, a bottom side, an inner side and an outer side, and, in its cross-section, is provided with a screen cavity which is delimited by an upright inner side wall and a horizontal top wall and an internal space above the screen cavity. An upright wall extends from the end of the horizontal top wall. The beam comprises either a first closure profile for closing off the internal space or a wall profile attached to the upright wall and a second closure profile for closing off the internal space. Thus, multiple configurations of the beam are possible and an additional wall holder may be provided on the outer side of the screen cavity such that a double side wall infill is possible.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2021Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: RENSON SUNPROTECTION-SCREENSInventors: Joost De Frene, Kristof Lemiegre, Lennart De Meulemeester, Pieter Brabant, Thomas De Rycke

Patent number: 12006693Abstract: Heating louvre (11) for a louvred roof comprising at least two girders which extend parallel to each other and to which several louvres are rotatably connected between an open position and a closed position. The heating louvre (11) is provided with an underside (13). A slot is provided in the underside (13) for fitting a heating element (12) inside the heating louvre (11). After the heating element (11) has been fitted, the cavity (15) is at least partially sealed by it and the heating element (11) is provided to heat a position between the louvred roof and the ground surface by means of radiant heat. By using a slot in combination with a heating element (12) based on radiant heat, it is possible to heat the position between the louvred roof and the ground surface, as the heating element (12) is not fully surrounded by the heating louvre (11).Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2020Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: Renson Outdoor NVInventors: Bart Abeel, Joost De Frene, Kristof Lemiegre, Pieter Brabant
