  • Patent number: 11009008
    Abstract: Provided is a canopy structure for a nacelle of a wind turbine, including at least one side and a plurality of standard panels which all have the same length and the same width, wherein the at least one side is at least partly formed from the plurality of standard panels, and wherein each standard panel includes a flange which runs only along one edge of the standard panel. Advantageously, the canopy structure including the standard panels is able to reduce the need of a high number of different canopy parts. The amount of different types of molds or tools for producing the standard panels is reduced which leads to a more cost-effective production of the canopy structure.

  • Patent number: 5592790
    Abstract: An improvement for awning intended to withstand wind storms. A shoot member is mounted on the purlins that are included in a conventional awning, thereby defining space between the slats and the sheet member. Puncturing of the outer cover will not destroy the effectiveness of the awning since flying small particles still have the sheet member obstruction to their travel. Angular members are used as reinforcement to the structural integrity of the awning.
