<p>A collapsible awning (11) which has a normally upright support post or equivalent support member(13). The awning has a flexible cover having either generally the overall shape of a sector or comprising triangular sections assembled to approximate the shape of a sector extends over a plurality of support arms(18) which extend between the support post or support member and the periphery of the cover. Cover attachment means are provided to secure the cover to the upper part of the support post or support member at the point from which the radii of the sector extend. Arm attachment means (17) attached to the support post or member are provided whereby the arms are either each pivotally rotatable about the support post or rotatable about individual axes (29) adjacent to or in the vicinity of the support post or other support member. The arms being thus operable between an open position for the awning in use when the arms are extended radially away from each other, and a closed position when the support arms are brought into proximity with each other. In one particularly preferred embodiment lifting (18) or extension means are disclosed to raise the effective height of the awning in use.</p> |
