| 20080264462 | Test frame and canopy - A tent frame comprising support frames having side support and roof support members. Spans of the support frames are adjustable perpendicular to a ridge line of the tent frame without substituting structural members of different length. The tent frame is laterally adjusted by adding or removing support frames or by altering the distance between individual support frames. The tent frame is adaptable on uneven terrain and is capable of following irregular ground contour without delay in erection or changes in length and details in the structural members. A canopy can be provided overtop of the tent frame, or on the inside of the tent frame so that adjustments to the span do not require adjustment to the canopy size. The canopy is removably attached to the frame to cover the whole area or only partially cover the area under the tent, or can be removed fully. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090065039 | System for rapid concealment and shelter including angular frames and warfighter covers - An easy to use, universal, simple, lightweight, compact, portable, dynamically configurable and modular system of concealment and shelter. An operator configures a number of concealment blinds or shelters using brackets, supports, segmented and folding shafts, covers, curtains, and skirts, and more complex modules. Advanced modules include user adjustable domes and angular structures. Angular frames with corresponding angular covers provide improved headroom. The system can be configured for placement on a hillside or over rough terrain and obstacles, or for different types use. The system provides covers with novel windows, movable panels, and configuration attachments. The operator changes the configuration of the structure to quickly provide cover, to increase cover, and to adapt to terrain or changing weather. The system includes novel methods of tightening the skin on a cover to reduce movement and noise, while improving safety. Methods include using the full human body, from hands to feet, and its strongest muscle groups to rapidly set up the system with tighter skin. Foot attaching means and hand attachment means enable methods for setting up a fast setup frame or angular frame with the body in a horizontal seated row or a vertical power jerk position. Improved fast setup frame and angular frame are comprised of novel simpler components such as plates with single anchor connections. The components are easier to make, less costly using less material, yet yielding stronger, more durable frames. The system includes novel tent floors, netting, and rain cover configuration for use on fast setup frames or angular frames. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090199886 | Support assembly for a roof element, shelter comprising said support assembly and method to mount said shelter - A support assembly ( | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090272414 | Hunting ground blind for rapid concealment - An easy to use, simple, lightweight, compact, portable, quiet, quick setup, hunting ground blind. The hunting ground blind includes novel methods of tightening the skin on a cover to reduce movement and noise. Methods include using the full human body, from hands to feet, and its strongest muscle groups to rapidly set up the hunting ground blind with tighter skin. Methods for setting up a fast setup frame with the human body in a seated row position. Improved fast setup frames are comprised of novel simpler components such as plates with single anchor connections. The components are easier to make, less costly using less material, yet yielding stronger, more durable frames. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090301537 | Canopy and ground anchor structure - A canopy structure arrangement particularly for conducting repairs on a vehicle has a support frame re-configurable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration; and an expansion support such as a tether to support the frame as it is manually expanded from the collapsed configuration to the expanded configuration. A ground anchor arrangement provides securing of the canopy structure. The arrangement permits ease of erection of the canopy structure. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100108114 | Gable Closure System for Tents - A tent and method of assembling a tent is provided. The tent includes a connecting strip for connecting first and second panels of a fabric shell of the tent. The connecting strip slides axially along sides of the adjacent panels during assembly to connect them together. In a preferred embodiment, the connecting strip and sides of the connected panels utilize cooperating keder strips and keder channels to cooperatingly connect the two panels. In a preferred embodiment, the connecting strip is flexible to permit using connecting strips that are longer than the legs of the tent. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20110000514 | Transportable Modular Configuration for Holding Panels - A configuration, all components of which are man portable in some embodiments, for holding panels to protect assets against external force and impacts from airborne projectiles. An open box-like stackable frame module holds panels along a side of the frame. Multiple frames are connected to construct a protective barrier, such as a wall. Frames include provisions for connection in a vertical configuration so as to allow stacking of the frames to increase the height of the barrier. A method of installing is also provided. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110132420 | MODULAR SYSTEM INCLUDING SHAFT SEGMENTS HAVING CONFIGURATION AND BREAKDOWN ATTACHMENTS - An easy to use, reliable, easy to repair, universal, simple, lightweight, compact, portable, multi-use modular system of poles and interconnections. An operator configures a number of structures using brackets, supports, segmented shafts, and interconnection components. The segmented shafts have both the ability to make an attachment to retain a particular configuration while being able to break down the shafts for transportation or storage. Some embodiments include a sleeve that protects the tip of a pole and provide a cushion and separation between a pole and a ferrule thereby reducing breakage and increase reliability. Broken components are easily replaced in the field. The configuration of the structure is changed by the user to quickly adapt to changing needs. Multiple components can be carried by separate members of a group and combined together to form a more complex structure to meet the needs of the group. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20120006371 | SYSTEM FOR RAPID CONCEALMENT AND SHELTER - A modular free-standing shelter including a frame and a cover. The frame has an upper plate and a lower plate, and a number of cover shafts are each pivotally connected at one end to the upper plate. A number of stretcher shafts are each pivotally connected between a respective one of the cover shafts and the lower plate. A separation shaft is affixed to one of the plates for separating the upper and lower plates at a predetermined distance. The cover is a skin having a predetermined shape that is engaged by the cover shafts. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20120291831 | TENT - A tent includes a tent cloth and a tent frame to support the tent cloth. The tent frame comprises a top module and a plurality of supporting poles which are radially pivoted to the top module. The top module includes a modular main body, a top cap and a quick-pitch assembly. The modular main body includes a plurality of pivot sockets which are integrally formed with the modular main body. Each pivot socket is pivotally connected with a connector. The connector is further connected to the respective supporting pole. The connector has a top engaging portion at a pivot end thereof to mate with the quick-pitch assembly. The top cap is coupled to the modular main body to form a middle space. The quick-pitch assembly is located in the middle space and able to move up and down. | 11-22-2012 |
