ABSTRACT:
A personal canopy apparatus connectable to a separate structure. The canopy apparatus includes a main spine connectable to the separate structure, a top spine pivotally connected in a generally forwardly extending orientation to an upper end of said main spine, and a retractable canopy. The canopy includes two flexible covers each supported along a proximal edge by the top spine. A leading edge support arm and battens are supportively connected to each of the covers and are pivotally connected at a proximal end about one of two closely spaced third pivotal axes at a distal end of the top spine. When each of the covers are open in a fan-like manner, the support arms extend laterally in opposite directions from the top spine to form a leading edge of the canopy. The support arms, covers and battens are stored in closely aligned fashion within a substantially hollow length of said top spine.
