Abstract: A modular awning assembly incorporating a flexible sheet; a shade frame fitted for supporting the flexible sheet, the shade frame having left and right arms and having a cross beam spanning between the left and right arms; sheet fasteners interconnecting the flexible sheet and the shade frame; left and right vertical support columns; shade attaching joints pivotally connecting the shade frame's left and right arms to the left and right vertical support columns; and column mounting brackets operatively connected to the left and right vertical support columns, the column mounting brackets being adapted for moveably attaching the left and right vertical support columns to a structure selected from the group consisting of vehicles, recreational vehicle side walls, vehicle hitches, boats, boat deck rails, building side walls, and fences.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and kit for mounting to the wall of a structure. The apparatus comprises: first and second arms, each arm having an elongated portion and a mounting portion arranged at an angle relative to the elongated portion, the mounting portion defining one or more holes, the elongated portion of the first arm having a first inner surface, the elongated portion of the second arm having a second inner surface, first inner surface opposing the second inner surface; at least a first clamp member operably connected to the first arm and at least a second clamp member operably connected to the second arm; and at least one canopy member having a one end portion clamped between the first inner surface and the at least one clamp member and an opposite end portion clamped between the second inner surface and the at least second clamp member.

Abstract: In a sunshade device, a track rail includes two rail halves connected to each other to confine a rail groove and extending along a length direction. Each rail half has a groove-confining part, and an abutment part connected to the groove-confining part. The abutment part of each rail half has an abutment surface to abut against the abutment surface of the other rail half, an outer surface opposite to the abutment surface, and at least one aligning hole extending through the abutment and outer surfaces. The aligning holes of the abutment parts serve to align the abutment parts during assembly of the rail halves.

Abstract: A window awning system comprises an awning fabric defining an upper edge with a hollow hem formed therein and a lower edge with grommets. An extrusion mounts on the wall. Apertures in a face portion receive wall fasteners and an outwardly extending C-shaped channel. A hem rope is contained within the hem. The hem and rope are then fed into the C-shaped channel. A pair of hollow wall posts have an inboard wall mounting end and an outboard free end. The inboard end has a flat rectangular plate. Each outboard free end receives an end cap. A perimeter cable has a central section passing through holes in the end caps and attaches to the extrusion by the use of metal wire crimps. A lashing rope passes through each grommet of the awning fabric and encompasses the perimeter cable with each pass for securement of the fabric from below.

Abstract: A collapsible awing having a flexible frame forming at least one collapsible closed loop; a flexible sheet disposed upon the frame to define a central region; and a first fastener detachably coupled to a first edge of the sheet such that the first edge is attached to a first surface; and, at least one rod with a first end coupled to a second edge of the sheet and a second end attached to a second surface through the use of a second fastener such that the sheet can provide a coveting. The flexible frame of the awning is easily collapsible for storage. The flexible sheet is an opaque flexible material which blocks sunlight and other elements. The rods can also be easily disassembled and maintained together for storage.

Abstract: An awning comprises an outer sheet of flexible material supported on a rigid translucent support. The awning is illuminated by strip lights mounted on a support framework, which is stepped back from the rigid translucent support. An even illumination is achieved with no shadow lines on the flexible sheet. The sheet may have advertising indicia or logos.

Abstract: A canopy for protecting an individual from adverse weather when positioned in front of a grill. The inventive device includes an inclined canopy and support assemblies for securing the canopy above and in front of a grill.

Abstract: A collapsible awning support frame includes an elongated, horizontal thrust bar fastenable by a lower mounting bracket to the vertical wall of a structure and extending outwards therefrom, and an elongated tension bar pivotably fastened to the thrust bar near the outer, free end of the thrust bar and extending upwards and backwards towards an upper mounting bracket. The upper mounting bracket, intended for fastening to the wall of the structure above and in vertical alignment with the thrust bar mounting bracket, has a hook pin extending upward and outward from the base of the bracket, for pivotably engaging a hole in the bottom wall of the tension bar, near the upper end of the tension bar. Upward movement of the tension bar is restricted by contact with a tab that extends downward from a roof section of the bracket which extends outward from the structure wall.
