| 2001 | Invention patented by John E Hanna on August 29th, 2001. Abstract: A cable manufacture (15) formed of a steel cable (23) along the length of which a plurality of ball stops (35, 36, 37) are intermittently crimped, having a fixed loop (26) formed of itself at its one end (27) and a ball stop (37) crimped proximate to its other end (34). Any one of the ball stops (35, 36, 37) seats against the body formation of a slot (43) in a hallow roller tube (33) which forms a slot (43, 46) while loop (26) attaches to a support (61) on side panel (19) of a home (20) which forms a slot (43, 46) such as a motor home in operation of the invention. The extent of the tube's awning (32) as it unravels with roller tube (33) from a closed mode is controlled by which ball stop (35, 36, 37) seats against the body formation. Cable manufacture (15) is installed to roller tube (33) either by slipping a ball stop behind the slot (43, 46) through a cap (40) at the end of roller tube or by drilling hole (48) of a larger diameter than the width of slot (43, 46) for introduction of a ball stop into the hollowness of roller tube (33), then sliding the ball stop to the central region of roller tube (33), placing cable manufacture (15) in line with support (61) for operation of the invention. |
