摘要

A tape-driven extendable and retractable awning assembly wherein a sprocket-driven apertured tape (14) is operatively connected to the leading end of an awning (8) adjacent the opposite lateral edges of the awning. The apertured driving tapes are guided in channel members (18) housed in frames (1) positioned in proximity to the lateral edges of the awning, and each frame is provided with a weather seal (28) to prevent dirt and dust from accummulating in the guide channels and apertured tapes.
