The automatically retractable awning (14) includes a plurality of extendable rafter arms (20) operatively connected at their upper ends to a vertical support surface (16), a lead bar (24) connected to the lower ends of the rafter arms (22), a roll bar located adjacent to and operatively connected to the support surface (16), and an awning sheet or canopy (28) connected at a first end to the roll bar and at a second end to the lead bar (24). A sensor operatively connected to at least one of the rafter arms (20) detects pivotal movement of the rafter arm (20) relative to the support surface (16) and automatically commands a roll drive motor to roll the canopy (28) about the roll bar and thus retract the awning (14). <IMAGE> |
