An awning assembly and method of construction comprising a roll bar extending laterally between first and second arms. The roll bar comprising a removable and replaceable roller tube portion defining a wide opening within the roll bar and an inner roller mechanism housed within the wide opening. The inner roller mechanism comprising a drop end bracket rotatably and slidably coupling a second roll bar to the roll bar, the second roll bar extending laterally within the roll bar, a screen supported by the second roll bar, wherein the screen is extendable or retractable responsive to rotation of the second roll bar, and a tray supporting the second roll bar during extension and retraction of the screen, the tray supported by the removable and replaceable roller tube portion.

An articulated arm structure for an awning with an integrated electrical installation relates to an articulated arm structure for an awning, of the type designed to have an integrated electrical installation, mainly of LED (Light Emitting Diodes) lighting, but also of electrical wiring to supply any device requiring electrical energy for its operation, and has a series of improvements which, among others, provides advantages of ease of assembly, enlargement of the lit-up area and improved aesthetics.

A semi-automatic awning with a spring according to the present invention includes a body case in which an awning sheet is installed to be withdrawn and retracted, a winding pipe on which the awning sheet is wound, a pipe-spring connector configured to connect the winding pipe and a tension spring, a tension spring central axis for providing tension for withdrawal and retraction of the awning sheet, a plurality of male gears and female gear which are involved in the withdrawal and retraction of the awning sheet and control a connection of the winding pipe and the tension spring central axis, and an operation knob which can change a connection position of the winding pipe and the tension spring. Thereby, the length of the awning sheet may be freely adjusted while capable of easily unwinding and winding the awning sheet by adding an adjustable spring force to the manual force, and the partially unwound state may be easily fixed, and thereby anyone of any age and gender can easily use.

An awning cleaning tool for cleaning awnings and other structures employing awning-like material. In one implementation, the awning cleaning tool includes a cleaning head unit having a squeegee-like leak guard, one or more powered brushes, a row of water-detergent applicator nozzles, and an elongated extraction port. The awning cleaning tool also includes an elongated extension and a control handle. During cleaning, a water-detergent mixture is sprayed via the nozzles onto the top surface of the awning and the powered brushes work the water-detergent mixture into the material of the awning to dislodge the dirt and debris. The used water-detergent mixture, dirt and debris are extracted via the extraction port. Any excess water-detergent mixture is captured by the leak guard so that it does not run down and off the awning.

Blind assembly comprising a shade material, a winding core and/or a bottom rail, and compensation means. The shade material is attached to the winding core and/or the bottom rail by attaching the compensation means to the shade material in a first condition in which the compensation means extend along a first line with a first shape. The compensation means can be attached to the winding core and/or the bottom rail in a second condition in which the first line has a second shape, different from the first shape. As a result, the shade material is loaded with compensation forces that can counteract any sagging forces exerted on the shade material by the sagging winding core and/or bottom rail.

An accessory base is provided which may be used with a power track assembly. The accessory base is connected to a power track assembly and a powered accessory so that the powered accessory is powered by the power track. The accessory base may also be used with power tracks in a roller tube awning assembly, a cassette awning assembly, hardware assembly, or a track which may be mounted to a surface.

A power track assembly is provided which may be used with an accessory base (454) therefore. The power track assembly includes a track housing (402) having at least one track (470) with first and second conductors (484, 485). The conductors provide power to the accessory base which may be connected to an accessory (32, 34, 36, 37) requiring power for operation. The accessory base (454) may also be used with power tracks in a roller tube awning assembly (20), a cassette awning assembly (120), or hardware assembly (328).

An awning assembly having an awning connection system for coupling an awning canopy to a support structure and providing a cover to the awning canopy when the awning assembly is in a closed position. The awning connection system comprises a unitary film segment having a distal end connected to the awning canopy and a proximal end for securing to the support structure. The unitary film segment further comprises an attached region for coupling the unitary film segment to the awning canopy.

A control device for lighting elements to be mounted on a roller covering installation, which includes a support structure constraining the covering installation to an outer fixed structure, a rotatable tubular shaft supported by the structure, a covering to be rolled and unrolled on the tubular shaft, and a plurality of lighting elements applied to at least one component of the roller covering, includes a casing, configured to be inserted and accommodated in the tubular shaft, and having therein a power supply for the lighting elements, a control unit for the lighting elements, which can be connected wirelessly and/or wired to the lighting elements of the roller covering installation, and a receiver connected to and/or incorporated in the control unit for receiving control signals from the outside and control the lighting elements accordingly.
