Publication number: 20220396336Abstract: A fold assist bimini top includes a bimini frame with a front bow, a front support, a rear bow, and a rear support. The bimini frame is displaceable between an extended position and a retracted position. A canopy secured over the bimini frame is displaceable with the bimini frame between the extended position and the retracted position. A pair of assist straps are configured to facilitate displacement of the bimini frame from the extended position to the retracted position. One of the pair of assist straps is manually displaceable, and one of the assist straps is elastic and is secured at ends thereof to the bimini frame. The elastic assist strap biases the bimini frame toward the retracted position.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Inventors: Dennis J. PARNISKE, Daniel J. SERAFINI

Patent number: 10513314Abstract: A self-supporting bimini top frame is independently supportable on four contact points. A main bow defines a first support member for a bimini top connectable to the bimini top frame. The main bow defines first and second contact points. A pair of stanchions are pivotably connected to the main bow and define third and fourth contact points. A primary tension bow is pivotably and slidably connected to the main bow and defines a second support member for the bimini top. A bimini top may also be secured on the bimini top frame.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: TAYLOR MADE GROUP, LLCInventors: Dennis J. Parniske, Robert R.

Patent number: 10173754Abstract: A cover system for a boat includes a bimini frame securable to the boat and displaceable among an open position, a storage position, and a cover position. A flexible top is coupled with the bimini frame, and a cover is positionable over the bimini frame with the bimini frame in the cover position. The bimini frame thus functions as a support structure for a mooring or trailering cover. With the described bimini frame, one cover size can fit multiple seating and deck configurations without the need for a separate cover design for the various configurations.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2017Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: TAYLOR MADE GROUP, LLCInventors: Dennis J. Parniske, Robert R. Shearer
