Abstract
Various implementations include a frame for supporting a bimini top. The frame includes base, forward, and aft assemblies. The forward assembly has a first portion and a second portion rotatably coupled to a forward portion of the base assembly. The aft assembly has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the aft assembly is slidably coupled to an aft portion of the base assembly. The forward and aft assemblies are movable between collapsed and extended positions. The forward or aft assembly is operatively coupled to a drive assembly such that rotation of a pulley of the drive assembly relative to the base assembly causes the forward or aft assembly to move between the collapsed and extended positions. Movement of the forward assembly from the collapsed position to the extended position causes the aft assembly to move from the collapsed position to the extended position.
