  • Patent number: 4117876
    Abstract: An awning assembly includes a pair of collapsible arm assemblies supporting a roller having an awning disposed on the roller and extending to a wall. Each of the arm assemblies includes a telescoping main support arm having a first channel and a second channel which extends between the wall and the roller. A telescoping rafter arm extends between the wall and a slide which is movable within the first channel. The arm assemblies are collapsible from an extended position to a stored position wherein the rafter arm is disposed in the second channel, the main support arm is held next the wall, and the awning is rolled on the roller. The main support arm has a locking ear which registers with a locking ear fixed to the wall to lock the main support arm in the stored position. A mounting bracket associated with each of the main support arms can be operated to detach the main support arm from the wall. This permits the main support arm to be moved to a vertical orientation in the extended position.
