ABSTRACT:
A collapsible awning for use with a back pack is disclosed which comprises a frame having opposite side rod members detachably secured to a back pack frame by clamps and a front member detachably secured to the side members and extending therebetween. The clamps are pivotally mounted to the pack frame and detachably secure the awning frame to the back pack frame such that the awning frame is securely maintained in a generally horizontal position above the head of the back pack wearer. The pivotal mounting the clamp allows the awning to be pivoted upward to aid in initially putting on the back pack. Magnetic catches hold the clamps from random pivotal motion when the awning is not being used. An elastic shock absorbing member extends from the side frame member to the back pack frame to aid the clamps in maintaining the position of the awning frame during use in windy weather. A canopy member of pliable material capable of protecting the back pack wearer from sunlight and rain extends between the opposite side members and is maintained in a generally concave configuration relative to the wearer by an arcuate shaped stiffener element also extending between the opposite side members. The awning is collapsible by releasing the side rod members from the clamps, detaching the shock absorbing member from the back pack frame, detaching the front awning frame member from the opposite side frame members, and rolling up the side members and canopy to form a compact package for transporting in the back pack when not in use.
