Abstract

The present invention extends to a double canopy covered wagon. Interior canopy frame supports support an interior canopy over a portion of a wagon flooring surface and under larger exterior canopy frame supports. The exterior canopy frame supports support an exterior canopy over the interior canopy. Including interior and exteriors canopies increases insulation relative to a single canopy. Further, since the exterior canopy frame supports are larger than the interior canopy frame supports, air can flow between the interior and exterior canopies. Air flow between the canopies in combination with increased insulation facilitates more effective climate control inside a wagon.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . A wagon comprising:
 a flooring surface attached to a chassis;   a first side wall attached to the flooring surface near a flooring surface edge;   a second side wall attached to the flooring surface near another opposing flooring surface edge;   an interior canopy frame support attached to the first side wall and to the second side wall and spanning between the first side wall and the second side wall;   an exterior canopy frame support offset from the interior canopy frame support, attached to the first side wall and the second side wall, and spanning between the first side wall and the second side wall; and   a canopy resting on a surface of one of: the interior canopy frame support or the exterior canopy frame support, and spanning between the first side surface and the second side surface.   
     
     
         3 . The wagon of  claim 2 , wherein the canopy resting on a surface of one of: the interior canopy frame support or the exterior canopy frame support comprises the canopy resting on an exterior facing surface of the interior canopy frame support. 
     
     
         4 . The wagon of  claim 3 , wherein the canopy comprises a mold resistant canopy. 
     
     
         5 . The wagon of  claim 2 , further comprising a sleeve mechanically connected to the first side wall; and
 wherein the interior canopy frame support attached to the first side surface and the second side surface comprises the interior canopy frame support inserted into the sleeve.   
     
     
         6 . The wagon of  claim 2 , wherein the exterior canopy frame support offset from the interior canopy frame support comprises the exterior canopy frame support essentially equally offset from the interior canopy frame support along the first side wall and along the second side wall. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the first side wall comprises a plurality of wooden planks. 
     
     
         8 . The wagon of  claim 2 , further comprising a door separating a wagon interior from outside the wagon. 
     
     
         9 . The wagon of  claim 2 , wherein the interior canopy frame support comprises an arched interior canopy frame support; and
 wherein the exterior canopy frame support comprises an arched exterior canopy frame support.   
     
     
         10 . The wagon of  claim 2 , further comprising another interior canopy frame support; and
 wherein the exterior canopy frame support offset from the interior canopy frame support comprises the exterior canopy frame support offset between the interior canopy frame support and the another interior canopy frame support.   
     
     
         11 . The wagon of  claim 2 , further comprising another exterior canopy frame support offset from the interior canopy frame support. 
     
     
         12 . The wagon of  claim 11 , wherein the exterior canopy frame support is offset from the interior canopy frame support in one direction and the another exterior canopy frame support is offset from the interior canopy frame support in another opposite direction. 
     
     
         13 . The wagon of  claim 2 , further comprising at least one of the following: a compostable toilet, running water, a septic tank, mains power, a lighting fixture, a sink, an electrical outlet, a radio, a television, a stove, a microwave, or a wired network connectivity port. 
     
     
         14 . A wagon comprising:
 a chassis including a first longitudinal joist and a second longitudinal joist;   a flooring surface attached to the chassis;   a first side wall attached to the flooring surface near a flooring surface edge;   a second side wall attached to the flooring surface near another opposing flooring surface edge;   an interior canopy frame support attached to the first side wall and to the second side wall and spanning between the first side wall and the second side wall;   an exterior canopy frame support attached to the first side wall and the second side wall, and spanning between the first side wall and the second side wall, wherein the exterior canopy frame support is larger than the interior canopy frame support; and   a jockey box providing access to a channel between the first longitudinal joist and the second longitudinal joist.   
     
     
         15 . The wagon of  claim 14 , further comprising wires running through the channel or pipes running through the channel. 
     
     
         16 . The wagon of  claim 14 , further comprising electrical wiring running inside the interior canopy frame support. 
     
     
         17 . The wagon of  claim 14 , further comprising at least one of the following: a compostable toilet, running water, a septic tank, mains power, a lighting fixture, a sink, an electrical outlet, a radio, a television, a stove, a microwave, or a wired network connectivity port. 
     
     
         18 . The wagon of  claim 14 , further comprising a canopy resting on a surface of one of: the interior canopy frame support or the exterior canopy frame support. 
     
     
         19 . A wagon comprising:
