Title: Motorcycle canopy

Description:
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION AND ATTACHED DRAWINGS 
     The attached figures illustrate and details the full progression of the functionality of the Motorcycle Canopy. Materials used to fabricate the bars can be lightweight steel or a combination of lightweight alloy based on the Manufacturer expertise. 
    
    
     
         FIG. 1 : Illustration of the “Motorcycle Canopy” separate from the motorcycle.
           FIG. 1   a:  Represents the unbroken Motorcycle Canopy with all parts attached. It illustrates the overall view of the finished product from the Manufacturer.     FIG. 1   b:  Represents the Motorcycle Canopy fragmented in seven (7) different components and materials used to construct the “Motorcycle Canopy”.       

         FIG. 2 : Compose of four sets of drawings— FIG. 2-1  to  FIG. 2-4  demonstrating four different views indicating how the “Motorcycle Canopy” is attached to the rear of the motorcycle to become an integral part of the motorcycle. 
         FIG. 3 : Compose of four sets of drawings— FIG. 3-1  to  FIG. 3-4  demonstrating four different views indicating the direction of rotational motion of the Retractable Folding Bars attached to the back (Item # 1 ) to open to the upright position. The Manufacturer will have the option to allow the Retractable Folding Bars (Item # 1 ) to unfold manually or automatically. 
         FIG. 4 : Compose of four sets of drawings— FIG. 4-1  to  FIG. 4-4  demonstrating four different views composing of the two Front Retractable Telescoping Bars (Item # 2 ) removed from the attached canopy. The Front Retractable Telescoping Bars are retractable bars that can be extended to match the length of the Retractable Folding Bars (Item # 1 ). The Bars contain a cut T-groove made to slide-in the Side Clear Transparent Retractable Plastic material (Item # 3 ) and lock it in place securing the side panels. 
         FIG. 5 : Compose of four sets of drawings  FIG. 5-1  to  FIG. 5-4  demonstrating four different views of the extension of the Front Retractable Telescoping Bars (Item # 2 ) to be attached to the side pedals using Thumb Screws (Item # 6 ) or to the following two elements of the motorcycle (the crash crossbars or the pivot fork) using both the Thumb Screws (Item # 6 ) and the Clamps (Item # 7 ). It also demonstrates how the Side Clear Transparent Retractable Plastic panels, (Item # 3 ) pulled from the Retractable Folding Bars (Item # 1 ) are integrated into the Front Retractable Telescoping Bars (Items # 2 ) to create a protective unit for a motorcycle rider. 
         FIG. 6 : Compose of four sets of drawings— FIG. 6-1  to  FIG. 6-4  demonstrating four different views of the remaining three Crossbars (Item # 4 ) pulled from the Main Bar attached to the rear of a motorcycle. The size of the Main Bar is larger than all the other Bars, because it contains the remaining parts necessary to assemble the Motorcycle Canopy, such as, the Thumb Screws (Item # 7 ) and the Clamps (Item # 8 ). The first Crossbar (Item # 4 ) is pulled vertically from the Main Bar (Item # 6 ) exposing the Impermeable All Weather Resistant Materials (Item # 5 ). Two holes at both ends of the Crossbar (not shown on drawings) are then inserted into Retractable Folding Bars (Item # 1 ) then secured using the thumb screws (Item # 7 ). Utilizing the same method, proceed to pull the top covers (Item # 5 ) and secure the second Crossbar (Item # 4 ) to the Front Retractable Telescoping Bars. The third Crossbar (Item # 4 ) design varies based on make and model of the motorcycle; it is to be attached either to the windscreen or motorcycles handles using Velcro Straps or appropriate materials determined by manufacturer. 
         FIG. 7 : Compose of four sets of drawings— FIG. 6-1  to  FIG. 6-4  demonstrating four different views of the Motorcycle Canopy completely installed on a motorcycle to illustrate its use.
