| Abstract: |
The present invention relates to a retractable greenhouse which is constructed from at lease two left-right horizontal members which are supported at each opposite distal end by a left-right vertical support post and at least two front-rear horizontal members which are supported at each opposite distal end by a front-rear vertical support post. Each front-rear system includes a front-rear cover sheet which may be raised or lowered by a motor. Each left-right system includes a left-right cover sheet which is raised to a left-right horizontal member, travels to another left-right horizontal member (to form a top), then lowers to the ground. This forms a retractable greenhouse.

What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims:
1. A retractable greenhouse, comprising:
- (a) a front-rear horizontal member having two distal ends and including two front-rear cable pull guides integrally mounted on said front-rear horizontal member;
- (b) two front-rear vertical support posts, each said front-rear vertical support post being positioned at and attached to one of said distal ends of said front-rear horizontal member;
- (c) a front-rear cover sheet roller spindle attached to each of said front-rear vertical support posts;
- (d) a plurality of front-rear pull-support cables which wrap around said front-rear cable pull guides and said front-rear cover sheet roller spindle and are attached to a front-rear junction bar;
- (e) a front-rear cover sheet attached to said front-rear junction bar and wrapped around a front-rear cover sheet roller spindle;
- (f) a front-rear cover sheet motor which rotates said front-rear cover sheet spindle to raise and lower said front-rear cover sheet;
- (g) a front left-right horizontal member and a rear left-right horizontal member, each having two distal ends and including two left-right cable pull guides integrally mounted on each said left-right horizontal member, each said left-right horizontal member being placed adjacent one said front-rear horizontal member;
- (h) two front left-right vertical support posts, each said left-right vertical support post being positioned at and attached to one of said distal ends of said front left-right horizontal member and two rear left-right vertical support posts, each said left-right vertical support post being positioned at and attached to one of said distal ends of said rear left-right horizontal member;
- (i) a plurality of left-right support cable guides mounted on a shaft, said shaft being suspended from each said front left-right vertical support post;
- (j) a plurality of left-right support cables attached to a left-right junction bar and which reel on said plurality of left-right support cable guides;
- (k) a plurality of left-right pull cables attached to said left-right junction bar and which cooperate with said left-right pull cable guides, said plurality of left-right pull cables being further attached to a left-right cover sheet roller spindle attached to each said front left-right vertical support post;
- (l) a left-right cover sheet attached to said left-right junction bar and wrapped around said left-right cover sheet roller spindle; and
- (m) a motor which rotates said left-right cover sheet roller spindle to raise and lower said left-right cover sheet.
