Abstract: A height-adjustable canopy assembly that is capable of creating a desired shaded area without restricting a vehicle occupant's ability to enter, exit, control, and enjoy the vehicle. The canopy assembly includes a frame support that is secured to the vehicle via attachment points disposed between a seat and a rear portion of the vehicle. The frame support couples with a canopy support, which is adapted to span along a longitudinal length of the vehicle. A canopy cover attaches to the canopy support, providing a shaded area on the vehicle. The canopy support is adjustable with respect to the vehicle, in particular via a series of cord and cord locks that allow the occupant to quickly raise and lower the canopy support to change the shaded area to a desired set of dimensions.

Abstract: A channel rod extension that provides access to the flexible cord through an opening of the extension, thereby allowing a user to quickly customize a length of the flexible cord and, accordingly, to quickly customize a dimension of the flexible cord-based system. The channel rod extension system includes an elongated extension with a discontinuous outer wall, forming a channel within which a flexible cord is received. A retainer made of a material having a high coefficient of friction surmounts the elongated extension to secure the flexible cord in place. To extend a dimension of the flexible cord-based system, the flexible cord is stretched and retained in place via the retainer, thereby elongating a dimension of the flexible cord-based system.

Abstract: A stable rigid frame canopy being collapsible, adjustable, and capable of providing full body coverage without restricting a user's ability to enter, exit, and row a small watercraft. The canopy includes an outer support frame, and inner transverse support frame, and a canopy cover. The outer support frame has a cross frame design to increase stability. The inner transverse support frame can be longitudinally adjustable to alter the shaded region.
