An awning includes an awning body. The awning body may include a reel, an awning canopy, a first swing arm, a second swing arm, and an endbar. The awning cover may be disposed between the reel and the endbar when the endbar is extended away from the awning body by the first swing arm and the second swing arm.

The current invention is related to designing an automatic awning. It is used to protect the vehicle or the persons desiring to sit outside during the daytime from the sun and its heat. It includes only one pillar fixed to the ground or on a fixed wall (FIG. 2). This pillar contains the closed awning inside. The pillar contains also a motor with a chain to push the awning making it go out smoothly (FIG. 3) from the pillar and turn into a cross-rail (FIG. 4). Then, the awning is opened containing two awnings fixed to the cross-rail. Each awning is opened against the other direction of the other one. Each awning folded in a cylindrical shape contains its special fabric and arm with a tie rod. It has a spring and a chain set up in a special way to be very specific in pushing force out. It is fixed to the cylinder and the fabric to open the fabric awning (FIG. 5). There is a motor inside the cylinder. It pulls and closes the fabric by wrapping around the cylinder. Each awning is spread horizontally in a reverse direction to give the desired shade (FIG. 6). The sizes of the awning vary according to the size of the required shade, as it is enlarged to increase the desired shade, and vice versa. There are three sensors in each awning. One of them is the sun sensor to be opened at daytime and closed at night, the wind sensor that closes in case of strong winds and a sensor of radio frequency (RFID) attached to the designated vehicle to be opened in case of proximity and closed in case of being away. The awning is opened either by pressing the remote-control button, and this is a manual option, and there is an automatic option. It is through a barcode reader, the sensor of radio frequency (RFID), in a card set inside the vehicle linked to the awning. When the vehicle is parked under the awning, it is automatically opened in case of the sunny weather. The process of closing the awning is done either manually by remote control or automatically in the following cases; when the vehicle moves away from its place and the awning, also in case of the absence of the sun, and also in the case of the fast wind.

An awning assembly with a mount portion, an extendable bar assembly, an upper canopy being retractable to a compact configuration adjacent to the mount portion and extendable to an extended position upon extension of the extendable bar assembly to provide shade from above, a lower canopy coupled with the extendable bar assembly and extendable therefrom to provide shade from a side position. The extendable bar assembly comprises a first roller coupled with the upper canopy, a second roller coupled with the lower canopy and a motion generator coupled with the second roller, the motion generator configured to store energy as the second roller is moved to retract the lower canopy and configured to use the stored energy to move the second roller to extend the lower canopy from the extendable bar assembly.

An awning is provided that extends from an awning casing. The awning forms an arcuate shape by a plurality of panels having a central longitudinal pivot rod for the rotation of at least one lateral support.

A lateral arm assembly and method of operation includes first and second articulating arms comprising first and second ends, the first ends of the articulating arms are mounted upon assembly to a support surface at separate lateral locations. The first ends each comprise separate pivoting mounting structures for forming a first pivotal connection with the first and second articulating arms. The lateral arm assembly also comprises a roller tube having spaced lateral ends supporting respective end brackets that provide a second pivotal connection to the second ends of the articulating arms. The roller tube supports a canopy coupled to a roller shaft, wherein one of the end brackets further supports a device that drives the roller shaft for furling and unfurling the canopy.

A protection device is provided, including a first fixed member, a second fixed member, a supporting member, a roller, an awning, an electromagnetic device, and a power supply unit. The supporting member connects to the first and second fixed members. The roller is movably disposed on the supporting member. The power supply unit provides electrical power to the electromagnetic device, so that the electromagnetic device attracts the roller, and the awning remains in a received state. When the power supply unit stops providing electrical power to the electromagnetic device, the roller moves along the supporting member, and the awning is expanded to cover the equipment.

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 is disclosed. The awning comprises a case assembly comprising a housing, configured to be mounted to a dwelling, and a lead rail, a roller assembly mounted in the case assembly and including a roll tube rotatable relative to the case assembly, a lead rail assembly coupled to the lead rail, the lead rail assembly movable relative to the housing between an extended position and a retracted position, a canopy having a leading edge and a trailing edge, the leading edge being connected to the lead rail assembly and the trailing edge being connected to the roll tube, and a spring arm assembly connecting the housing of the case assembly to the lead rail, the spring arms including a first arm and a second arm pivotable relative to one another, the spring arm assembly allowing the lead rail assembly to move between the extended position and the retracted position.

A lateral arm assembly and method of operation includes first and second articulating arms comprising first and second ends, the first ends of the articulating arms are mounted upon assembly to a support surface at separate lateral locations. The first ends each comprise separate pivoting mounting structures for forming a first pivotal connection with the first and second articulating arms. The lateral arm assembly also comprises a roller tube having spaced lateral ends supporting respective end brackets that provide a second pivotal connection to the second ends of the articulating arms. The roller tube supports a canopy coupled to a roller shaft, wherein one of the end brackets further supports a device that drives the roller shaft for furling and unfurling the canopy.
