ABSTRACT:
A retractable awning assembly includes a roller, a flexible canopy having an inner edge secured to a wall and an outer edge secured to the roller, and a pair of arm assemblies operable to move the roller between a retracted position adjacent the wall and an extended position spaced from the wall. Each arm assembly includes a support arm and a rafter arm. The support arm includes telescoping inner and outer tubes, a bracket rigidly secured at an intermediate position along the inner tube, and a rearward facing button lock for automatically locking the tubes in extended relation. The rafter arm includes telescoping inner and outer tubes and a laterally inward facing button lock for automatically locking the tubes in extended relation. The support arm outer tube has an upper end operably connected to the roller and the support arm inner tube has a lower end pivotally secured to the wall. The rafter arm outer tube has an outer end pivotally connected to the support arm bracket and the rafter arm inner tube has an inner end pivotally secured to the wall. A travel latch for automatically locking the support arm to the wall when the roller is in the retracted position includes a latch member pivotally attached to the support arm bracket and a latch bracket secured to the wall for interlocking with the latch member.
