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 projector system including an awning bar having an awning bar body having a length extending between a first end and a second end. The projector system includes a projector having a projection lens. The projector is attachable to the awning bar along the length. The awning bar is configured to attach to a portion of an awning canopy such that the projection lens is located below the awning canopy when the awning canopy is in an open position.

Various embodiments of an awning assembly, specifically an angled gear motor are provided. Present embodiments provide a motor for an awning assembly, wherein the motor is positioned in the awning hardware. Specifically, the motor may be supported by the awning hardware. The awning assembly may also have an angled transmission connected to the motor. The transmission and motor provide rotating movement of the awning roller tube.

An awning assembly including: a longitudinal support assembly adapted to be fixed to a supporting wall and from which a flexible covering may be withdrawn to provide an awning roof extending from the supporting wall and retracted for stowage; a longitudinal rail assembly attached to the outer longitudinal edge of the flexible covering; at least one strut assembly connected at one end to the longitudinal rail assembly and at its opposite end to a slide assembly adapted to be fixed to the supporting wall such that movement of the longitudinal rail assembly away from the supporting wall causes travel of the opposite end of the strut assembly along the slide assembly from a stowed position to a deployed position, and control means for locating the strut assembly during movement between its stowed and deployed positions.

Various embodiments of a power wand are provided. The power wand may be utilized with an awning assembly including a motor to power and direct rotation of the motor. Therefore, the power wand will electrically drive and direct extension and retraction of the awning assembly. The power wand may be a portable hand-held device which provides battery powered operation of the awning motor. The use of the wand therefore eliminates the connection of awning wiring to the electrical system of the recreational vehicle (RV) or other mobile or fixed structure to which the awning may be mounted.

An awning assembly and method of construction that includes a first main member rotatably coupled to a vertical track at a first end of the first main member; a second main member pivotally coupled to and at a second end of the first main member; a first supplemental member rotatably and slidably connected to the vertical track at a first end of the first supplemental member; a second supplemental member having a first end pivotally coupled to and at a second end of the first supplemental member. The second supplemental member has a second end pivotally coupled to the second main member. The first main member includes first, second, and third cross-sections spaced the second cross-section comprising slot that allows for the passage of the first supplemental member through the first main member, wherein the first cross-section differs from the second cross-section.

An awning assembly and method is provided that includes an awning connection system coupling an awning canopy to a support structure. The awning connection system comprises a rolling assembly operably connected to the awning canopy, a lock bearing coupled to the rolling assembly, and an end cap, comprising a lock, coupled to the rolling assembly. Wherein, the rolling assembly comprises an unlocked mode, wherein the lock bearing is free from contact with the lock, and a locked mode, wherein the lock bearing is in contact with the lock.
