ABSTRACT:
An awning assembly for a travel trailer or a mobile home which includes a flexible awning covering wound on a roller which is rotatable on a fixed shaft carried by a supporting frame, includes a latch apparatus comprising a cylindrical end plate rotatable with the roller and closing one end thereof, and a cap disposed adjacent to the end plate and fixed to the frame and the shaft. The end plate has a cylindrical portion coaxial with the shaft which projects toward the cap and defines a cavity having a plurality of equiangularly spaced-apart keeper recesses around the perimeter thereof. A latch handle pivots on the cap about an axis parallel to the shaft and carries a latch pin which extends parallel to the shaft for movement with the handle between a latching position disposed in one of the keeper recesses to latch the roller against rotation and an unlatching position disposed in the cavity but out of the recesses to accommodate free rotation of the roller.
