Abstract
A positioning system attached to an outside of a building structure positions a radiation collection device such as a solar oven. The positioning system allows the collection device to be positioned in a plurality of locations where at least one of the plurality of locations is away from the building structure to allow the radiation collection device to collect solar radiation.
Claims20
A positioning system used for attaching a solar oven radiation collection device to a building structure, the positioning structure comprising:
- a wall mount system for attaching the positioning system to the building structure, the wall mount system including a pivot;
- a structural extension assembly attached to the building wall mount system, the structural extension assembly extending in a radial direction with respect to the pivot, the wall mount system allowing horizontal pivoting motion of the structural extension assembly with respect to the pivot;
- a moveable transport that provides linear movement of the solar oven radiation collection device along an axis of the structural extension assembly;
- and,
- a control mechanism for controlling movement of the structural extension assembly in the radial direction with respect to the pivot and movement of the solar oven radiation collection device along the axis of the structural extension assembly, allowing the solar oven radiation collection device to be positioned in a plurality of locations, at least one of the plurality of locations being away from the building structure to allow the solar oven radiation collection device to collect solar radiation, and at least one of the plurality of locations being a user accessible location that is near or within an opening of the building so that a user within the building can load food into the solar oven radiation collection device and remove food from the solar oven radiation collection device when the solar oven radiation collection device is in the user accessible location.
