The louvered panels may be rotatably coupled to the support beams. A support beam coupler may comprise first and second receivers. The first receiver may be configured to receive an angled end of a first support beam, and the second receiver may be configured to receive an angled end of a second support beam. The angled ends of the first and second support beams may face, meet, and/or abut each other when received by the first and second receivers. The actuator may be configured to rotate the louvered panels. A gutter may comprise a lighting channel configured to hold a light source for lighting an area under the louvered patio cover.

A multi-function wind-directing rainwater-sealing automatic-multi-screen-raising-and-lowering multi-screen-securing fruit-drying-and-sorting truck-tonneau-covering rainwater-channeling-and-collecting leaf-filtering height-and-angle-adjustable louvered pergola comprises: opposing end caps, wind-directing-and-rainwater-sealing-louver-blade multi-screen-securing leading and trailing edges, and rainwater-and-wind-sealing rattle-preventing insulation strips, attached and/or molded to wind-directing-and-rainwater-sealing multi-screen-securing louver blades, which automatically raise and lower sun shade and video projection screens, control the duration of fruit-drying, provide fruit sorting function, and provide a full-content-viewing truck-bed tonneau cover, insertion axels are inserted into stanchions, cradle axels being inserted between cradle caps and rotation cradles, stanchions and rotation cradles screwed to first and second rainwater-channeling-and-leaf-filtering side gutter beams, with rainwater-channeling-and-leaf-filtering end gutter beams fit into gutter-beam cradles and are clamped to corner posts by gutter-beam-securing bars into securing-bar slots, corner posts are capped and protected by corner-post l-shaped caps, multi-louver-control bar rotatably connects to multi-louver-control axels and multi-louver-control linkage arm connected to transmission upper axel connected to worm-gear transmission connected to transmission lower axel connected to coupling loop, controlled by removable-collapsible-and-stowable automatic-multi-screen-raising-and-lowering multi-louver-control crank tool, discrete rainwater gutters filter rainwater and leaves through drain holes and are molded to first and second rainwater-channeling-and-leaf-filtering side gutter beams, within the corner posts, the discrete-leaf-filtering tubes, and spouts, rainwater-draining spout holes, base-plate covers secure to corner-post base plates, which are screwed to corner posts, height-and-angle-adjustable tube screws compensate for uneven terrain and are screwed into corner-post base plates, anchoring screws are inserted through anchoring-screw holes.

A louver canopy comprises a frame with a top disposed with parallel rafters; a plurality of louvers rotationally connected between the rafters and sequentially arranged along a length direction of the rafters, the louvers are disposed at intervals and parallel to each other, each of the louvers includes an elongated flashing; a baffle connected to a first long side of the flashing; an elongated first guide groove formed between the baffle and the flashing; When the louvers rotate to a closed state, an opening of the first guide groove faces upward, and a second long side of the flashing passes over a top of the baffle of an adjacent louver of the louvers and positions above the first guide groove of the adjacent louver.

Greenhouse comprised of a ridge beam extending some distance above its roof defining two elongated side zones at either side of the ridge beam. The ridge beam is comprised of one or more elongated hollow spaces and with one or more closable openings in both side zones. The openings fluidly connect the exterior of the greenhouse with its interior and may be closed at one side and opened at its other side depending on the direction of the wind.

Louvered roof systems are provided with one or more louvers. Such louvers can be combined in an assembly that is movable between an open condition and a closed condition. In the closed condition, louvers in the assembly engage one another. In such engagement, a leg extending generally transversely from one louver may include a wing that extends generally transversely to the leg and that abuts a surface of an adjacent louver. Additionally or alternatively, in such engagement, a leg extending transversely from one louver may be received in a notch in an adjacent louver. An end cap can include a downwardly extending flange that directs liquid flow from a louver's top surface and past its bottom surface to form droplets or streams to fall from a lower part of the flange and prevent travel of the liquid flow along the bottom surface of the louver.

The invention relates to a slat (1) or a slatted roof (20) or a slatted window, comprising a light-permeable sheet-like covering element (2) having a longitudinal extent and width (b), wherein the width (b) is less than the longitudinal extent, and having an axis of rotation (5) which runs along the longitudinal extent of the slat (1) in order to pivot the slat (1) between a closed position and an open position. In order to allow a particularly flexible variation of the incoming sunlight entering a room (22) situated below the slatted roof (20) and in order to be able to set the desired temperature, climate control and brightness conditions in the room in a targeted manner, it is proposed that the slat (1) has at least one light-impermeable sheet-like shading element (6) having a longitudinal extent and a width (h), in which the shading element extends with the longitudinal extent thereof along the longitudinal extent of the covering element (2), that it is arranged with a first longitudinal side (6a) on the covering element (2) and projects with a second longitudinal side (6b), opposite the first longitudinal side (6a), from the covering element (2), wherein the at least one shading element (6) is arranged in the areal extent thereof at an angle () to the areal extent of the covering element (2). (FIG. 10).

There is provided a ceiling panel for a pod room. The ceiling panel comprises one or more cover components movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration; and an actuation mechanism configured to move the one or more cover components from the closed configuration to the open configuration in response to a trigger. The ceiling panel may provide a specified percentage open area in the open configuration. The ceiling panel may be adapted to acoustically insulate the pod room in the closed configuration.
