Top furling automated retractable greenhouse cover

A greenhouse cover assembly for a greenhouse including a frame having a width between a first side supported by ground at a first location and a second opposing side supported by the ground at a second location, an apex of the frame disposed between the first and second sides, the greenhouse cover assembly comprising:

• a hinge assembly installed at a position less distant from a plane bisecting the width of the frame than from each of the first and second locations, the plane perpendicular to the ground;
• a first furling cover assembly comprising:
• a first arm having a first end that connects to the hinge assembly such that the first arm is rotatable relative to the hinge assembly, the first arm having a second end opposite to the first end;
• a first motor that connects to the second end of the first arm, the first arm having a length that positions the first motor above a roof of the greenhouse in a first position;
• a first rod that connects to the first motor;
• and
• a first cover portion that unwinds from the first rod when the first motor causes the first rod to rotate in a first direction relative to the hinge assembly and that winds around the first rod when the first motor causes the first rod to rotate in a second direction relative to the hinge assembly, the first cover portion arranged to cover less than an entire area of the roof of the greenhouse;
• and
• a second furling cover assembly comprising:
• a second arm rotatable relative to the hinge assembly;
• a second motor that connects to the second arm, the second arm having a length that positions the second motor above the roof of the greenhouse in a second position;
• a second rod that connects to the second motor;
• and
• a second cover portion that unwinds from the second rod when the second motor causes the second rod to rotate in the second direction relative to the hinge assembly and that winds around the second rod when the second motor causes the second rod to rotate in the first direction relative to the hinge assembly, the second cover portion arranged to cover less than an entire area of the roof of the greenhouse.

A greenhouse cover assembly for a greenhouse including a frame supported by to the ground, the greenhouse cover assembly comprising:

• a first furling cover assembly comprising:
• a first arm;
• a first motor that connects to an end of the first arm, the first arm having a length that positions the first motor above a roof of the greenhouse in a first position;
• a first rod that connects to the first motor, the first arm configured to support the first motor and the first rod above the ground when the first motor is connected to the end of the first arm and the first rod is connected to the first motor;
• and
• a first cover portion that unwinds from the first rod when the first motor causes the first rod to rotate in a first direction over the roof of the greenhouse and that winds around the first rod when the first motor causes the first rod to rotate in a second direction over the roof of the greenhouse;
• and
• a second furling cover assembly comprising:
• a second arm;
• a second motor that connects to the second arm, the second arm having a length that positions the second motor above the roof of the greenhouse in a second position;
• a second rod that connects to the second motor, the second arm configured to support the second motor and the second rod above the ground when the second motor is connected to the end of the second arm and the second rod is connected to the second motor;
• and
• a second cover portion that unwinds from the second rod when the second motor causes the second rod to rotate in the second direction over the roof of the greenhouse and that winds around the second rod when the second motor causes the second rod to rotate in the first direction over the roof of the greenhouse.
