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.

A lateral arm assembly and method of operation includes a lateral arm awning assembly comprising a box cassette supporting a roll bar, A first end cap having a first end cap portion and a second end cap portion, the first end cap portion coupled to a first box end of the box cassette and the second end cap portion coupled to a first bar end of the roll bar, the second end cap portion removably couplable to the first end cap portion, and a second end cap coupled to a second box end of the box cassette, the first box end opposite the second box end, the second end cap spaced from the first end cap by the box cassette, the second end cap having a third end cap portion and a fourth end cap portion, the third end cap portion coupled to the second box end and the fourth end cap portion coupled to a second bar end of the roll bar, the first bar end opposite the second bar end, the fourth end cap portion removably couplable to the third end cap portion.

Provided is an awning system comprising: a) two vertical tracks; b) two arms, with each arm attached at a first end to one of the vertical tracks, the arm configured to move in a vertical direction and pivot in relation to the track, each arm further configured to be extendible; c) a cross-bar, with each end of the cross-bar attached to a second end of one of the arms; d) a piece of fabric attached at one end to the cross-bar; and e) a holder placed on top of the tracks for holding a second end of the fabric; wherein the awning fabric is configured to be adjusted in both the vertical and the horizontal direction; wherein a user can move the arms vertically and extend the arms to adjust a position of the fabric. Provided is a retractable canopy system comprising: a) a track; b) a frame movably attached to the track; c) a support attached to the frame; d) a connector movably attached to the support, e) two or more rods attached to the connector; f) a canopy piece attached to the rods; wherein the awning is configured to have a stowed and deployed position that are obtained by moving the frame against the track.

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 shading device having at least one awning and having at least one winding device, which is provided for winding and unwinding the awning and which has a rigging that is stretched taut along a side or a diagonal of the awning, which rigging is rotationally coupled to the windable and unwindable awning. In order to embody this shading device in a particularly durable fashion, it is proposed for the rigging to be embodied as torsionally rigid or low-torsion and for it to be rotationally coupled to the awning over the entire length of the side or diagonal of the awning.
