Embodiment Construction

[0058] According to the present invention in figure 1 , 2 The canopy assembly 10 shown in and 3 is typically mounted on the entry door side wall 11 of the caravan 12 so that the canopy assembly does not interfere with the caravan's window 13 or door opening 14 and the like when stowed.

[0059] The canopy assembly includes an upper housing assembly 15 retractably supporting a flexible covering 16 and a corresponding support assembly 17 adjacent the end of the flexible covering. Each support assembly includes an upright guide rail 18 secured to the caravan wall and an expandable post 19 which, when stowed, nest closely adjacent the side walls of the caravan. together so as not to cause undue wind resistance during travel. When fully deployed, the struts extend substantially horizontally from vertically arranged guide rails to support longitudinal rails 20 to which the outer ends of the flexible covering are attached. The housing assembly is shown without its end caps in plac...

Abstract

An awning assembly including: a longitudinal support assembly adapted to be fixed to a supporting wall and from which a flexible covering may be withdrawn to provide an awning roof extending from the supporting wall and retracted for stowage; a longitudinal rail assembly attached to the outer longitudinal edge of the flexible covering; at least one strut assembly connected at one end to the longitudinal rail assembly and at its opposite end to a slide assembly adapted to be fixed to the supporting wall such that movement of the longitudinal rail assembly away from the supporting wall causes travel of the opposite end of the strut assembly along the slide assembly from a stowed position to a deployed position, and control means for locating the strut assembly during movement between its stowed and deployed positions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to improvements in retractable awnings which are particularly suitable for attachment to caravans and the like. Background technique [0002] Many caravans are fitted with a roll-out awning on the entry door side of the caravan. Typically, the canopy extends from the permanent mounting along the wall of the caravan above the access door, and each distal end of the canopy is supported by posts for support of the associated side walls to form a closed enclosure. [0003] The ease of erection of the canopy is relatively important, however, other considerations such as the ease of adding side walls to enclose the space beneath the canopy also play a factor in the desirability of the canopy. In many cases, however, travelers may reach the side of the road for a short break, and in such cases, the ease with which the canopy is erected will determine whether it will be deployed. [0004] One type of such awning uses a roller as...
