Residential awning canopy assembly

A method of forming an awning kit, the method comprising the steps of:

• fabricating a housing comprising an awning, the awning comprising a roll bar coupled to a canopy, the canopy extending out a front face of said housing;
• fabricating a first lateral slot to comprise a recess extending along a rear face of the housing parallel to the roll bar between and spaced from first and second ends of the housing;
• fabricating a second lateral slot to comprise a spring loaded retainer extending along the rear face parallel to the roll bar between and spaced from first and second ends of the housing;
• fabricating an anchor comprising a latch and a mounting hook, the mounting hook being configured to be received in the first slot, the latch being configured to be received in the second slot and configured to interface with the spring loaded retainer to lock the housing to the anchor;
• and
• fabricating one or more securing apertures configured to mount the anchor to a dwelling.

An awning kit comprising:

• an awning comprising a roll bar coupled to a canopy, the roll bar housed within a housing having a first end and a second end, the canopy extending out a front face of said housing, the housing further comprising first and second lateral slots extending along a rear face of the housing between and spaced from the first and second ends of the housing, the first and second lateral slots extending parallel to the roll bar, wherein the first slot comprises a recess and the second slot comprises a spring loaded retainer;
• and
• an anchor configured to mount the awning to a dwelling, the anchor having a long portion to be secured to the dwelling and a short portion comprising a latch, the long portion terminating in a mounting hook, the latch being configured to be received in the second slot and the mounting hook being configured to be received in the first slot, the latch configured to interface with the spring loaded retainer to lock the awning to the anchor, wherein the first slot is configured to rest upon and be rotationally coupled to the mounting hook, and wherein the second slot is configured to accept the latch as the awning is being rotated toward the anchor via the mounting hook in the first slot, wherein the interaction of the latch and the retainer is configured to cause the spring loaded retainer to rotate about a pivot point to an open position allowing the latch to pass under a hooked portion of the spring loaded retainer, the spring loaded retainer is configured to return to a resting position having retained the latch.
