Awning Hook

Abstract

An awning manipulation device for deploying, stabilizing, and closing an awning includes a head having a hook section and a shaft section. A distal end of the shaft section relative to the hook section attaches to an extension pole. A protrusion is coupled to and extends from the shaft section. The protrusion is coplanar with and opposes the hook section wherein the head is engageable to an awning cross tube positioned between the hook section and the protrusion.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An awning manipulation device comprising:
 a head having a hook section and a shaft section, a distal end of said shaft section relative to said hook section being configured for attaching to an extension pole; and   protrusion coupled to and extending from said shaft section, said protrusion being coplanar with and opposing said hook section wherein said head is configured for being engaged to an awning cross tube positioned between said hook section and said protrusion.   
     
     
         2 . The awning manipulation device of  claim 1 , wherein said protrusion further comprises:
 a base coupled to and extending from said shaft section, said base having a first surface, said first surface facing towards said hook section of said head; and   a projection coupled to said base, said projection having a first nub, said first nub extending away from said first surface towards said hook section of said head.   
     
     
         3 . The awning manipulation device of  claim 2 , wherein said base comprises a pair of spaced posts. 
     
     
         4 . The awning manipulation device of  claim 3 , wherein said spaced posts are parallel to each other. 
     
     
         5 . The awning manipulation device of  claim 3 , wherein said spaced posts extend perpendicularly from said shaft section of said head. 
     
     
         6 . The awning manipulation device of  claim 2 , further comprising said first nub being parallel to said shaft section of said head. 
     
     
         7 . The awning manipulation device of  claim 6 , further comprising a central longitudinal axis of said first nub extending between said shaft section and a terminal end of said hook section of said head. 
     
     
         8 . The awning manipulation device of  claim 2 , wherein said protrusion further comprises:
 said base having a second surface, said second surface facing away from said hook section of said head; and   said projection having a second nub, said second nub extending away from said second surface away from said hook section of said head.   
     
     
         9 . The awning manipulation device of  claim 8 , wherein said second nub is perpendicular to said shaft section of said head. 
     
     
         10 . The awning manipulation device of  claim 9 , wherein a central longitudinal axis of the second nub is collinear with a central longitudinal axis of said first nub.
