Abstract
The folding canopy provides a portable, user-friendly structure designed for single-person operation. It features telescoping support legs with three rolling feet equipped with wheels for mobility and one stationary foot with a high-friction surface to assist during deployment and folding. A cable and pulley system, operatively connected to a handle, enables deployment and retraction without requiring the user to step underneath the canopy. As the handle is pulled, the tensioned cable draws a central lower hub toward a central upper hub, causing pivoting elongate members to extend the support legs outward. Sliding feet with curved portions allow the canopy to navigate uneven terrain during deployment and folding. The telescoping legs are adjustable in height via middle brackets with locking mechanisms. Compact when folded, the canopy is easily transportable, making it ideal for outdoor events and recreational activities.
