A retractable bimini top device is disclosed for automated operation and mounted attachment to an existing rooftop member set over the deck of a boat. The inventive device includes a U-shaped support frame having respective side legs adapted to travel longitudinally through a pair of housing tube members disposed in parallel and mounted beneath the rooftop member. The side legs of the U-shaped frame are coaxially fitted within the housing tube members and made to travel together in unison through the respective tube members, each upon a lead screw that is driven by a reversible motor electrically powered and mounted at the end of each tube. A canvas cover attached along its outer end to the transverse portion of the U-shaped frame is stored in a rolled-up state about a spring-loaded roller mounted transversely between the housing tube members so that the canvas cover may be extended in a substantially horizontal manner and retracted as the side legs of the support frame are moved in alternate linear directions through the housing tube members.

A retractable boat top device is disclosed having an arched canopy assembly operatively deployed in mounted attachment upon a conventional radar arch or like elevated structure on the deck of a boat. The arched canopy assembly includes a stationery roof section formed having a curved planar surface transversely mounted within the radar arch, a pair of telescoping extension arms mounted on opposite sides of the roof section, and an arched roller assembled to hold a flexible canopy material thereon and operatively connected between the outer ends of the extension arms so that the flexible canopy material may be extended and retracted relative to the stationery roof section in an arched configuration substantially in the same plane as the roof section. The arched roller includes a curved roller bar supported coaxially within the bore of a flexible hose member that supports the canopy material in a rolled-up state and further includes torsion spring members mounted along opposite sides of the roller bar to maintain tension upon the canopy material during roll-out and retraction.

An automated bimini top device comprises a foldable frame assembly adapted to carry a flexible canvas material thereon and powered to move the canvas selectively between a retracted position and an extended position. The frame assembly includes a rear bow member supported in a fixed raised position, a front bow member adapted to slide along a length of the rear bow and pivot relative thereto, and a middle bow member pivotally connected along the length of the front bow and adapted to move in an opposite rotational direction thereto. Actuator means assembled to the rear bow member are operatively connected to move the front bow member in reversible directions outward and away from the rear bow into the extended position and inward and toward the rear bow into the retracted position. The middle bow member is coupled to a guide strap support connected between the rear and front bow members and further attached beneath the canvas material to maintain contact with the canvas during retraction and provide central support thereof in the extended position.

A computerized password verification system and associated method is disclosed for discreet recognition and reporting of a duress transaction being imposed upon a user at an ATM or other remote cash-dispensing terminal. The inventive system utilizes conventional ATM hardware including a card reader, keypad and display together with its associated operating and communications software required for transaction processing, and further comprises the programmed generation and display screen of a list of transaction acceptance passwords (TAPs) with a prompt to the user for a TAP selection to confirm the validity of the immediate transaction. The prompted display of the TAP list appears following the initial acceptance of the user's personal identification number (PIN) and requires the ATM user to select the TAP from the list that is currently registered to the user. While selection of the user's current TAP from the prompted list verifies the immediate transaction, the selection of any other TAP from the displayed list would constitute a “panic” TAP that triggers the generation of a silent alert signal to the authorities.

A computerized database system and associated process are disclosed for expediting an emergency response to an alarm signal indicative of a duress transaction imposed upon an ATM customer at a particular ATM terminal site. The system comprises an emergency response database stored at a secure location accessible by a bank or other financial service institution hosting the ATM either directly or through a data communications network. The emergency response database is compiled containing coded data indicative of the bank host, the ATM terminal location and respective serial number, customer identification information, and contact information for the designated emergency monitoring center and the appropriate public safety answering point (PSAP) for the given ATM terminal location. The present system enables the bank host through its conventional network processor to identify the victimized ATM customer and the terminal site of the duress transaction upon receipt of the alarm signal and then further access the emergency response database to retrieve the designated emergency monitoring center and appropriate PSAP to contact in relation to the ATM location. The retrieved database information is then forwarded to the designated monitoring center and relayed to the proper PSAP to expedite the dispatch of the authorities to the particular ATM terminal site.

A manually-operated canopy deployment system is disclosed for mounted attachment to existing rooftop or bridge structure of recreational boats. The system comprises a pair of spring-loaded tubular actuators telescopically assembled and coupled in parallel alignment to deploy a flexible canvas from a roller member transversely mounted between the actuators with a gear box operatively connected to the roller member to control the canvas deployment. Each actuator assembly includes a rearward outer tube closed at its back end, separate forward and intermediate interior tubes each fitted with inner end caps and coaxially disposed to move longitudinally within the outer tube, and compression springs separately disposed within the respective chambers of the outer tube and intermediate interior tube to apply outbound forces axially upon the inner ends of the respective interior tubes. Sleeve members disposed between the respective tubes at their forward ends provide bearing surfaces that stabilize their telescoping movement. Forward and intermediate cross bars transversely mounted and connected across outer ends of the interior tubes serve to draw the canvas from the roller member and support canvas deployment, with a pair of loop attachments provided on the surface of the canvas to engage the intermediate cross bar upon full deployment of the canvas and prevent billowing thereof.

A manually operated boat shade system is disclosed for deploying a flexible canvas or like shade material over the deck of a boat solely by hand. The device is adapted to mount as an integral unit to overhead structure on the boat and comprises a pair of tubular actuator assemblies telescopically assembled and coupled together in parallel alignment within a self-supporting framework to permit pullout deployment and reverse retraction of the flexible canvas from a tensioned roller member transversely mounted between the actuator assemblies. A self-engaging locking mechanism is further incorporated within the tubular actuator assembly to maintain the framework when in full extension preventing an unwanted retraction. The locking mechanism is further releasable by hand to allow a staged retraction of the framework and canvas when desired.

An improved telescopic linear actuator is disclosed comprising a rotational drive mechanism specially adapted and assembled within a tubular housing to reduce noise and vibration of the actuator during its operation. The rotational drive mechanism includes an electric motor adapted for low current operation, a gearbox containing a planetary gear axially connected to the motor with a stepped-up gear ratio, and a drive screw member operatively connected to the gearbox to extend longitudinally through the tubular housing with a specially configured threaded surface formed along the screw member having a reduced thread count and associated increased thread pitch to operatively engage and drive a movable piston member through the tubular housing with a substantially silent glide being exhibited.
