Abstract: A slide-lateral arm box awning system for motor homes and recreational vehicles having an extendable coach slider includes a encasement, a slider awning and a lateral arm awning. First and second roll bars are disposed within the encasement and attached respectively to the slider awning and the lateral arm awning within the encasement. Independent of operation of the roll bars enables independent operation of the slider awning and the lateral bar awning.

Abstract: An awning includes at least one fabric panel having a water drip hole therethrough with a breakaway water valve/window for release of accumulated rainwater therethrough. One or more gutters may be provided and disposed beneath the awning drip holes for conducting water to an outside perimeter of the awning. The breakaway water valve/window includes a flap hingeably attached to the fabric awning under the drip hole along an edge portion thereof and a pressure sensitive release or joiner is disposed between the fabric awning and another edge portion of the flap.

Abstract: A vehicle awning system includes a plurality of arm supports disposable in a spaced apart relationship on a vehicle roof with each support having a cantilevered portion disposable in a spaced apart relationship with the vehicle roof. A roller is disposed between the cantilevered portion and the vehicle roof and a fabric having a topside and a bottom side is wound on the roller and extendable therefrom with a lead rail. A plurality of articulated arms interconnect a corresponding arm support with the lead rail and are disposed over the fabric topside for tensioning the fabric between the roller and the lead rail.

Abstract: A combo slide-window awning system for motor homes and recreational vehicles having an extendable coach slider includes an encasement, a slider awning and a window awning. First and second roll bars are disposed within the encasement and attached respectively to the slider awning and the window awning within the encasement. Independent of operation of the roll bars enables independent operation of the slider awning and the window awning.

Abstract: Lateral arm awning apparatus includes an awning box with a mounting plate. An adjustable pitch mounting bracket includes a base plate fixable to a generally vertical surface. A hinge is provided and interconnects the awning box mounting plate and the bracket. An actuator couples the awning box mounting plate and the bracket for causing an angular relationship between the awning mounting plate and the bracket to change.

Abstract: A window awning mounting system suitable for a non-planar surface includes a housing containing a roll of awning. A forearm is provided and includes a header at one end thereof attached to a leading edge of the roll up awning. A bracket mounted on the non-planar surface is provided for securing and stabilizing one end of the forearm. A spring loaded tension arm having one end attached to the forearm is provided and an arm bracket, which is separate from the housing bracket, pivotally attaches both a second end of the forearm and a second end of the tension arm.

Abstract: An awning slide system for a recessed cavity is provided which includes a tray for supporting an awning mechanism with the tray being sized for containment within the cavity which includes an open side for enabling an awning to be retractably extended therefrom. A slide is provided for interconnecting the tray and a cavity surface in order to temporarily expose the awning mechanism outside the recess cavity for providing maintenance access thereto without inhibiting the mechanism from extending from the awing.
