Abstract: The present invention is a portable two-way awning for use with recreational type trailer vehicles. The awning is comprised of a number of roof panels made with two sheets of aluminum surrounding a polystyrene core. A hanger mechanism is bonded to each of the panels, and suspends them on an adapter rail that slidingly engages with a standard awning attachment rail. The roof panels mate together via a number of interlocking members disposed on their mating sides. The outer periphery of the roof assembly is surrounded with a number of extrusion members. Once the roof assembly is pivoted to a nearly horizontal position, it is supported at its front end by a number of adjustable height poles, two of which swing freely into a vertical position when the roof is initially erected. The awning requires no tools or caulking to set-up, and takes less than thirty minutes to either erect or dismantle. The awning is relatively light in weight, yet strong enough to withstand the harshest of weather conditions.

Abstract: The invention is an improved roof structure for trailer or mobile type homes. The roof structure of this invention is affixed to a mobile home directly over an existing roof structure on the trailer or mobile type home. The improved roof structure of this invention may be used to provide additional insulating properties and to save energy. A greater value and use of the present invention is that it is designed to be affixed directly over the existing roof of the trailer or mobile type home without removing the old roof. This is cost effective and is especially useful when the existing roof needs repairs or has deteriorated to a point where it must be completely replaced.

Abstract: The invention is an improved structure for a new roof for a travel trailer, mobile home, modular or manufactured homes. The invention also has a specific use for modifying a conventional type mobile home having a curved or arc-like roof configuration. The structure consists of central support components, a pair of central mounting members for roofing panels, a pair of eave mounting members, a plurality of air inlet members, a plurality of ridge outlet members, a plurality of roofing panels, a plurality of valley filler members, a plurality of locking bar members, a ridge cap member, gable closure components, and a plurality of fastening members.

Abstract: The invention is an improved awning for installation at portable or fixed buildings, including mobile type buildings. The awning is of the rigid type and is provided with a member for affixing to the building which it serves. The invention provides a unique channel-like member for affixing the inboard side of the awning to a building structure; the channel-like member serving as in the inboard side main structural member of the awning. A plurality of uniquely shaped main beams extend from the channel-like member to an outboard member of a flanged channel-like configuration. Pan-like members are fitted between each pair of adjacent main beams to form the roof proper of the awning. The fitting of the pan-like members into the unique shape of the main beams provides a beam-braced awning structure that is very rigid. The outboard ends of the main beams are affixed to the flanged channel-like outboard member, which is suitably supported by columns or posts.

Abstract: The invention is an improved awning used on homes, mobile homes, and modular homes, where the area under the awning may be subsequently converted into an additional room. The structure provides a rigid insulating panel between the roofing material panels and the supporting framework to reduce the conduction of temperature extremes and the elimination of condensation on the inside surface of supporting framework.
