ELECTRONIC AND AUTOMATIC AWNING
20230037899 · 2023-02-09 ·

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.

MECHANICALLY ASSISTED RETRACTABLE NESTED-PANEL VEHICLE STRUCTURE WITH DRAINAGE AND MOISTURE ABATEMENT STRATEGIES
20230038590 · 2023-02-09 ·

A shelter has a rear stationary portion and a front retractable door, both on a base. The retractable door comprises nesting arcuate-roofed panels that cooperate to form an enclosing dome-like structure when closed. Moisture drainage and abatement strategies assist in keeping the shelter usable for long periods in exposed environments. Mechanical spring-biased assistance aids in both opening and closing the nested panels, resulting in a shelter that is easy to deploy and suitable for long term use.
