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with a spring according to the present invention includes a body case in which an awning sheet is installed to be withdrawn and retracted, a winding pipe on which the awning sheet is wound, a pipe-spring connector configured to connect the winding pipe and a tension spring, a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.

A mounting bracket lock may be configured to secure the mounting bracket of a window treatment housing to a rail of the housing. The mounting bracket lock may be slidably attachable to the rail and, when in a locked position, may prevent the mounting bracket from detaching from the rail. The mounting bracket lock may include a body that is mountable to the rail. The body may include a first portion that slidably attaches to the rail, and a second portion that receives a portion of the rail and a portion of the mounting bracket, thereby securing the mounting bracket in a locked position relative to the rail. The body of the mounting bracket lock may define one or more projections that extend therefrom, and that engage in a friction fit between corresponding surfaces of the mounting bracket when the mounting bracket lock is in the locked position.

The present disclosure describes a retractable awning assembly. The retractable awning assembly may include a plurality of roller tube sections, at least two torsion bar sections, a pair of spring-loaded arms, a fabric cover, a plurality of front bar sections, a pair of end caps, a plurality of mounting brackets, and a plurality of hood sections. Methods of assembling the same are provided.

A screen covering (1) comprising: several cross-beams (2) arranged so as to be slidable away from each other and towards each other; a screen (3) supported by the cross-beams (2) and foldable between the cross-beams (2) at sliding of the cross-beams (2); and a lateral gutter (4), which extends essentially perpendicular to the cross-beams (2) and is arranged below a lateral side of the screen (3);
wherein said lateral side of the screen (3) is provided with a downwardly extending drip guard (5), which is foldable at sliding of the cross-beams (2).

A hood for a roll up shutter is provided wherein the hood configured to be transported in a flat or rolled up configuration and assembled upon delivery. The hood includes a sheet having a first surface and a second surface and at least one indentation formed on at least one of the first surface or the second surface, the indentation configured to facilitate bending at the at least one indentation wherein after delivery, the sheet is bent at the at least one indentation so as to form the hood.

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 seal enclosure protects a tubular motor that is configured to drive an awning roller. The seal enclose includes a motor box sized to fit over an end of the tubular motor, a motor box extension engaging the motor box and including a circumferential protrusion, a gasket positioned between the motor box and the motor box extension, and a flexible seal engaging the circumferential protrusion and configured to engage the awning roller. The motor box, the motor box extension and the flexible seal define a closed housing for the tubular motor.

A device for protecting a furling awning mounted on a vertical surface includes a top cover having a back panel, a top panel, and opposed top end panels, as well as a bottom cover having a bottom panel, a front panel, and opposed bottom end panels. The bottom cover is arrangeable with respect to the top cover between an open condition, in which an opening is defined opposite the vertical surface, through which the awning can unfurl from the vertical surface, and a closed condition, in which the opening is closed and the top and bottom covers cooperate to define an enclosed interior.
