The present disclosure is for an outdoor sunshade. The outdoor sunshade comprises a tent frame and a roof, wherein the roof comprises a central roof located in the middle and a surrounding roof encompassing and below the central roof such that a vertical gap exists between the central roof and the surrounding roof. The central roof is supported by one or more upper frames while the surrounding roof is supported by one or more lower frames. Each upper frame supports a first coupler and each lower frame supports a second coupler where each first coupler is designed to releasably mate with each second coupler. By mating the first coupler to the second coupler, the upper frame and lower frame are joined together, becoming a single piece supporting both the central roof and the surrounding roof. As first coupler and second coupler may be releasably mated and unmated with each other, the packaging and transportation costs are reduced, and the firmness and bearing capacity of the outdoor sunshade are ensured at the same time.

A multi-function leaf-separating-discharging height-and-angle-adjustable louvered pergola comprises: opposing end caps, multi-screen-securing edges, rainwater-and-wind-sealing insulation strips attached to multi-screen-securing louver blades for automatically raising and lowering shade and video projection screens and controlling fruit-drying duration and also functioning as a truck-bed tonneau cover, cradle axels inserted between cradle caps and rotation cradles, stanchions and rotation cradles screwed to first and second leaf-discharging side gutter beams, corner posts, multi-louver-control bar connected to linkage arm, linkage arm connected to worm-gear transmission controlled by multi-screen-raising-lowering multi-louver-control crank, first and second rainwater-channeling-and-leaf-filtering side gutter beams attached to the corner posts, the discrete-leaf-filtering tubes, spouts, corner-post base plates, and height-and-angle-adjustable tube screws screwed into the corner-post base plates.

Shade house for casting an adjustable shadow over a surface, the shade house including: at least one frame extending in a longitudinal direction; a first set of photovoltaic panels mounted on the frame substantially orthogonally to a same orientation axis; a second set of opaque panels, for preference photovoltaic, mounted on the frame and movable in longitudinal translation relative to the frame at least between an open configuration, in which the panels are at least partially superposed over the panels in a view along the orientation axis, and a closed configuration, in which the panels at least partially extend beyond the panels in a view along the orientation axis; and an actuation system configured to actuate the second set at least from the open configuration to the closed configuration, and vice versa, the actuation system including pulleys mounted on the frame.

A method and a kit for building a protective structure, the method and the kit including supplying a carrying structure, including a plurality of parallel carrying rails; supplying a group of panels, the panels being able to be engaged on and slide on the carrying rails; and transferring the panels from the storage position to a final position bearing on the carrying rails, by transferring at least one of the panels from the storage position to an insertion position on the carrying rails; using a transfer device lifting the at least one panel upward; placing the transferred panels one after the other bearing on the carrying rails; and moving the transferred panels along the carrying rails.

The present invention relates to a retractable umbrella that can be attached above a door that opens to allow people to exit or enter an enclosure, such as, a bus, airplane, train, house, building, and the like. The retractable umbrella comprises several frames to which umbrella sheets are attached and that nest within one another within a housing that is attached to said enclosure. With a switch or button, a motor linearly displaces a shaft that displaces each of said frames out of the housing so as to provide protection for people from the rain as they exit or enter said enclosure.

An electric awning structure has a supporting structure, a plurality of louvers, a plurality of louver securing members and a plurality of driving plates. The supporting structure has the plurality of standing columns, and at least four crossbeams to form a frame above the standing columns. The supporting structure is equipped with at least one power storage device and a control device, and the louver securing members are secured to the louvers so that the louvers are pivoted between the two crossbeams. The plurality of louver securing members are connected to the driving plate, and each the driving plate is connected to each driving member. The solar panel is connected to the power storage device which is connected to the control device, and the control device is connected to a pulling device set on the crossbeam and having a pull bar connected to the driving member.

The present invention relates to a large-sized external awning system which includes a winch provided at an upper story, a rooftop or the ground of a high-rise building, two guide wires spaced apart at a predetermined distance to be provided in parallel, a plurality of raising and lowering rods provided with wire-passing holes through which the guide wires pass such that the raising and lowering rods are raised and lowered along the guide wires, and an awning coupled to the raising and lowering rods and unfolded so as to block the sunlight when the raising and lowering rods are spaced apart from each other.

The present invention provides a cross beam of a canopy, which addresses the problem that existing cross beams cannot simultaneously ensure convenience of assembly and guarantee stability in use. The present cross beam of a canopy comprises a plurality of hollow elongated beams, an inner side surface of each of the beams has at least one protruding and elongated protrusion along a length direction of the beams, each of the protrusions is provided with an mounting hole or a mounting groove penetrating along the length direction of the beams, at least one long rod is inserted into the mounting holes or the mounting grooves to connect all the beams in series, and two ends of the long rod protrude out of the beams and are detachably connected with a locking fastener respectively. The present invention ensures convenience of installation and guarantees the assembled cross beam has good stability.
