ABSTRACT:
An awning stringer. A pair of parallel beam members, each having a cross section similar to that of an I beam are interconnected by an orthogonally disposed link member having inwardly beveled opposite ends. The respective upper peripheral edges of the beam members are specifically configured to grip the individual slats that collectively form an awning, so that an awning having a downward curvature or bend at its distal free end is gripped when the lowermost portions of the beam members are made to converge with respect to one another, which convergence results in abutting engagement of the respective beam members and the respective beveled ends of the link member, and which convergence results in a corresponding divergence of the slat gripping upper peripheral edges of the beam members to grip the awning as desired.
