Abstract: A bimini top includes a framework and a canopy secured to the framework. The canopy is formed of a mesh material. The mesh material allows air to flow through the canopy to limit the stresses to the connected structure at high speed. The bimini top may secure a removable and reversible secondary canopy or cover that can provide rain and sun protection under the mesh canopy or may extend forward of the bimini frame when not subjected to high speeds.

Abstract: A stowable stair assembly with step treads connected between stair stringers includes stabilizing legs positioned within a width of the treads and behind the treads. A removable hinge assembly facilitates installation of the stair assembly as well as access to the stair assembly.

Abstract: An awning system includes lighting units integrated with support arms thereof. The lighting units are configured to direct light emitted thereby primarily toward a canopy thereof when the canopy is fully deployed.

Abstract: An awning system includes a housing connectable to a rear of a vehicle and an awning canopy extendable from and retractable into the housing. In an embodiment, a plurality of marker lights is integrated with the housing and oriented to project light in a rearward direction when the housing is attached to the rear of the vehicle. In another embodiment, a rear-facing camera is integrated with the housing and oriented to have a field of view covering an area rearward of the vehicle and below the canopy.

Abstract: A step stabilizer leg is adjustable in both the angle and length of the leg. The legs are also individually adjustable to accommodate for uneven ground and are lockable and stowable with the step when it is not in use. A plate that mounts the stabilizer leg to the bottom of the step has multiple apertures that correspond to one of a few apertures adjacent to or integrated with the leg. This allows for the leg to be placed in different angles with respect to the step, including an angle that projects backwards towards the step assembly for situations when the bottom step is very close to the ground.

Abstract: An awning system includes lighting units integrated with support arms thereof. The lighting units are configured to direct light emitted thereby primarily toward a canopy thereof when the canopy is fully deployed.

Abstract: A door closer includes a helical extension spring disposed within a housing. A first end of the spring is attached to a spring anchor attached to a first end of the housing. A second end of the spring is attached to a first end of a strap. The strap passes through a strap guide attached to a second end of the housing. A second end of the strap is configured for attachment to a door jamb. The spring anchor and strap guide are configured for attachment to a door.

Abstract: A stair assembly may include a plurality of steps, a main stringer pivotably connected to a corresponding lateral end of each of the plurality of steps, and a support stringer pivotably connected to a corresponding lateral end of each of the plurality of steps, wherein the main stringer and the support stringer are movably connected to the plurality of steps such that the rise and the run of the plurality of steps remains consistent when the main stringer and the support stringer are moved relative to each other.

Abstract: A system for attaching a grab handle to a structure adjacent an opening in the structure includes a frame and a bracket attached to the frame. The bracket includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The first portion defines one or more apertures for receiving fasteners attaching a mount of the grab handle to the bracket. The second portion defines one or more apertures for receiving fasteners attaching the bracket and the door frame to the structure. The third portion may define one or more apertures for receiving fasteners attaching the bracket to the frame.
