Abstract
A deployable canopy apparatus includes canopy rails having a first, free end and a second end proximal to a spool rod. The canopy rails include a channel and a slit extending along the length of the canopy rail. A canopy is secured to the spool rod and secured to a translating member that extends between the canopy rails. The canopy has a first and a second side defining a loop housed in the canopy rails through the slits. Retaining members extend through the canopy loops and are secured within the canopy rail channels. A translation drive assembly is configured to translate the first translating member between the first and second ends of the canopy rails and spool or unspool the canopy from the spool rod.
