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.
Abstract: A sunshade for mounting to a building structure has first and second extruded outriggers spaced apart from each other and louvers extending from the first outrigger to the second outrigger. The first and second outriggers have an elongated body, an upper leg extending from an upper portion of the elongated body, and a lower leg extending from a lower portion of the elongated body. The outriggers of adjacent sunshades face each other such that the upper legs face each other and the lower legs face each other. A pocket is formed between the adjacent outriggers. The outriggers also have a mounting notch at an end which is mounted to the building structure. The outrigger notch engages a hook on a sunshade anchor mounted to the building structure.

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.
Abstract: A canopy for overhanging a door or window and the method of assembling the canopy to the wall. The assembly including a pair of channel assemblies mounted in a spaced relation between the structural girts of the wall over the door or window, a frame assembly having an angle member on each side for connecting the assembly to the channel assemblies, a roof-trim assembly mounted on the frame assembly and a soffit sheet mounted on the bottom of the roof-trim assembly to enclose the roof-trim assembly.
