Abstract: An awning assembly including an elongated storage case mounted on the side of a recreational vehicle, and having an extended position for providing shade and a retracted position for storage. A lead bar is connected to the outer edge of the awning, and the inner edge is connected to a spring-loaded take-up roller in the case. To brace and support the lead bar when the awning is unrolled and extended, automatically positioned, telescoping rafters extend between the ends of the case and the central portion of the lead bar, and telescoping legs pivoted on the ends of the lead bar are connectible to anchor brackets on the side of the vehicle. These legs are jointed between their ends to facilitate operation on a curved-sided vehicle, and are connected to the lead bar by swivels permitting compact folding into inconspicuous storage positions along the bottom of the case, where they are latched and partially concealed by a leg latch.

Abstract: A shielding tent wherein a frame is fixed above a window or the like, a winding device for winding up a canvas or window screen is removably fitted to this frame, sliding frames each having a groove guiding and engaging the canvas or window screen are rotatably borne at the upper ends on both ends of the frame, a bottom member removably fitted in the horizontal direction below the window is rotatably connected at the outer end with the lower end of the sliding frame which is inclined outward.As required, side plates are rotatably pivoted to the sliding frames and the frame of the side plates is removably fitted to the bottom member so that the structure may be foldable and may have a pot or the like mounted on it.

Abstract: The shaft on which the awning web may be rolled up is mounted in a housing with a substantially cylindrical inner cavity having a slot along its length for passage of the web. C-shaped brackets, open in the region of the slot, can be slid onto the housing, with notches locking on ridges of the housing to prevent relative rotation, and these brackets may be clamped on wall-mounted bases at an adjustable angle by means of clamping shells affixed to the mounting bases. The extension arms linked to the bottom slat have their inner ends mounted on the forward portions of two of the brackets and these arms fold up against the housing as the bottom slat is pulled up against the housing when the awning is retracted.
