Trailer shading system

A retractable shade system suitable for coupling with the roof of a trailer, the system comprising:

• a. a plurality of longitudinal and latitudinal beams, including a pair of external longitudinal beams and a pair of external latitudinal beams, and a longitudinal beam and two or more internal latitudinal beams, to form a frame, with a plastic sheet removably affixed to the frame to form a shade;
• b. a roof support structure comprising a pair of c-channel rails secured to an internal or external surface of the roof of the trailer, the rails sized to accommodate, secure and allow retraction and extraction of the shade relative to the roof support structure;
• c. a plurality of rollers rotatably affixed to and along an interior side of the external longitudinal beams, wherein some of the rollers are positioned on the top portion of the side of the external longitudinal beams, and other of the rollers are positioned on the bottom portion of the side of the external longitudinal beams;
• d. a pair of side support posts hingedly or removably affixed to each of the external longitudinal beams;
• and
• e. a handle post having a pin secured at one end to facilitate retracting and extending the shade from the roof support structure, the pin being sized to be received within an aperture of the proximal end of the frame.

A retractable shade system coupled with a trailer, the system comprising:

• a. a shade including a frame and a polycarbonate plastic sheet, the frame having a plurality of longitudinal and latitudinal beams, including a pair of external longitudinal beams and a pair of external latitudinal beams, at least one internal longitudinal beams, and three or more latitudinal beams;
• b. a roof support structure comprising a pair of c-channel rails secured to the roof of the trailer, the rails sized to accommodate, secure and allow retraction and extraction of the shade relative to the roof support structure;
• and
• c. a plurality of rollers rotatably affixed to and along the external longitudinal beams, wherein the rollers are affixed to an internal side of the external longitudinal beams, and received within the c-channels of the roof support structure;
• d. a pair of side support posts removably affixed to each of the external longitudinal beams, wherein each side support post includes a pin at one end intended to be received within a corresponding aperture of one of the external longitudinal beams, and an aperture at the other end;
• e. two braces, each brace presenting as a pair of plates affixed to a back end of the trailer, the plates having aligned apertures, and spaced sufficiently apart to receive the aperture of one of the side support posts so that when the apertures of the plates and the side support post are aligned, a pin may be positioned therethrough to secure the end of the side support post to the brace;
• and
• f. a handle post having a pin secured at one end to facilitate retracting and extending the shade from the roof support structure, the pin being sized to be received within an aperture of the frame.
