| 135097000 | Plural shelters, shelter having plural compartments, or plural sectional covering | 10 |
| 20080289673 | FOLDABLE EXPANDABLE SHELTER - A foldable shelter can have several wall sections joined to form a cylindrical lattice, and a roof section coupled to the wall sections. The wall sections each have a first member pivotally joined to a second member at near their respective midpoints. The shelter is foldable from an expanded state by inverting the roof segment into the interior of the shelter and pivoting the first and second members of the wall sections towards a parallel orientation. The shelter can have fixed length or extendable vertical and horizontal supports to enhance overall rigidity. The shelter can withstand wind loads without external bracing or cable support. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090032078 | COLLAPSIBLE WALKWAY COVER SYSTEM - A walkway cover system for covering a walkway to prevent snow and ice from accumulating thereon. The walkway cover system includes a collapsible walkway cover unit comprising a frame including a series of relatively rigid frame members, a series of flexible battens operatively connecting the frame members, and a cover member of a flexible sheet material. Each of the frame members forms a continuous loop including an elongated, straight base portion provided to extend substantially transverse the walkway and a slanted top portion disposed opposite the base portion. The cover member is attached to the frame so as to cover the slanted top portions of the frame members and form an enclosed passage through the frame. The collapsible walkway cover unit is convertible between an expanded operative state provided to be placed over the walkway and a collapsible state provided for storing when not in use. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090065037 | Shelter construction and method of erecting same - A shelter construction shelters users and vehicular or vehicular-sized gear. The shelter construction comprises a central canopy assembly and one or more laterally-situated collapsible/expandable enclosures. The central canopy assembly comprises a canopy and canopy-elevating structure. The canopy comprises an outer canopy surface, an inner canopy surface, longitudinally-opposed gates, and at least one set of laterally opposed portholes. The gates and portholes let users and gear therethrough. The enclosure(s) are attached to the outer canopy surface adjacent the portholes for enclosing users and gear as let through the portholes. The enclosures each comprise a roof section, a floor section, a wall section, and enclosure-elevating structure. The floor and wall sections are sized and shaped to as to enable a novel method of erecting the shelter construction and for maintaining the enclosures in a neat, compact assemblage when in a collapsed state. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090217958 | Bow-Supported Tent Root - In a tent roof having arched support elements ( | 09-03-2009 |
| 20110030750 | PORTABLE SHELTER HAVING RESILIENTLY SUPPORTED AWNING - A portable shelter has a canopy assembly that includes a main portion and an awning. The shelter also includes a frame assembly with a main frame and an awning support member. The main frame defines a main area and supports the main portion of the canopy assembly such that the main portion covers the main area. The awning support member includes a first portion operably coupled to the main frame and a second portion that extends away from the main area. The awning support member is resiliently flexible, and the awning support member supports the awning such that the awning covers an adjacent area that is adjacent the main area. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20130333737 | SHELTER SUPPORT SYSTEM - A shelter system including a base assembly and a flexible support assembly where the base assembly has two legs that are held together by at least two tension straps and the where the flexible support assembly has flexible support members and spanning poles and where the flexible support members of the flexible support assembly are securely attached to the base assembly at each end of the base system legs and where the entire flexible support assembly is then erected and covered, creating a self standing shelter system. | 12-19-2013 |
| 20140209137 | Portable Shelters, Related Shelter Systems, and Methods of Their Deployment - Method of deployment of portable shelters is described. The shelters or housing units may be deployed in emergency housing situations and may be grouped into systems of shelters. | 07-31-2014 |
| 20150315807 | SHELTER EXPANDABLE COMPONENT SUPPORTS - A portable shelter including an expandable component and an expandable component support. The expandable component including at least one structural element, e.g., a wall, configured to extend from, and retract into, an opening in a wall of the portable shelter. The expandable component support including a first non-roller bearing assembly affixed to the portable shelter to bear at least a portion of the weight of the at least one structural element. | 11-05-2015 |
| 20150337557 | COMBINATION TENT - The present invention provides a combination tent comprising a tent gate with lock catches and lock rings, when placed adjacent to a second combination tent, the tent gate of the combination tent is fixedly connected to a tent gate of the second combination tent through the cooperation and connection of the lock catches and the lock rings. The present invention enables quick assembly and disassembly, so that the tent can be used independently or combined with other tents. This connection method is applicable in traditional tents, and rapid assembling tents. | 11-26-2015 |
