| 20080223425 | Flexible Base Structure for Portable Shelters - An example method for providing a flexible base structure for a portable shelter includes the steps of forming a continuous loop of a flexible material and attaching a plurality of rib intersections at respective locations along the flexible loop. An alternative method for constructing a flexible base structure for a floorless portable shelter includes forming a continuous loop of a flexible material and arranging a plurality of openings at respective locations along the continuous loop. An embodiment of a base structure for supporting the ribs of a portable shelter includes a flexible loop and a plurality of rib intersections arranged along the flexible loop. Each of the plurality of rib intersections forms an opening for receiving a respective end of a rib that supports the portable shelter. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090065038 | DEMOUNTABLE AND REUSABLE CANOPY - A demountable and reusable canopy is provided comprising a number of vertical supports, located along an area to be covered, each including a footer which mounts an insert tube below the finish grade of the ground and a post having a hollow interior shaped to receive an exposed portion of the insert tube. A beam is secured to the vertical supports by self-tapping screws which extend into screw cases formed in the posts, and adjacent beams mount decking sections to form the completed canopy. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090071522 | Tent structure having waterproof bottom corners and method for manufacturing the same - A waterproof bottom corner of a tent structure and a method for manufacturing the same are developed. Extra clad cloths are welded on the inside and outside of the tent bottom cloth. The overlapped bottom corner tent structure is heated and welded. Then, an eyelet is mounted on the end portion, so that the waterproof bottom corner of the tent effectively protects against moisture.

| 20100170549 | Ground Sheet Arrangement for a Structure - The invention provides a ground sheet arrangement for enclosures wherein an outer ground sheet is capable of allowing condensate from inner surfaces of the enclosure to drain away from the base of the enclosure, and also provides for alternate means for securing an inner ground sheet within an outer ground sheet of the enclosure. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100275960 | Flexible Base Structure For Portable Shelters - An example method for providing a flexible base structure for a portable shelter includes the steps of forming a continuous loop of a flexible material and attaching a plurality of rib intersections such as grommets at respective locations along the flexible loop. An alternative method for constructing a flexible base structure for a floorless portable shelter includes forming a continuous loop of a flexible material and arranging a plurality of openings at respective locations along the continuous loop. An embodiment of a base structure for supporting the ribs of a portable shelter includes a flexible loop and a plurality of rib intersections arranged along the flexible loop. Each of the plurality of rib intersections forms an opening for receiving a respective end of a rib that supports the portable shelter. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100307550 | Ice Fishing Utilities - In some embodiments, a portable floor may include one or more of the following features: (a) a frame having a top surface and a bottom surface, (b) a pre-cut hole in the floor adapted to allow a ice-fishing auger, (c) a plug to cover the at least one hole, (d) a container which is attachable to the floor, the container having a hinged top lid providing access to the interior of the container and a fishing rod holder, (e) an insulated material located adjacent to the frame, (f) a non-slip material coupled to the top surface, (g) a means for coupling the container to the floor, (h) a container to store live bait, (i) lights protruding from containers, and (j) cup holders. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110079259 | COVERING APPARATUS OR TENT FOR A PLATFORM SWING - A covering apparatus or play tent is designed to sit disposed around a suspended platform swing. The tent is attached to a platform swing. The swing which is suspended by a rope from the ceiling has the ability to move forward, backward, laterally, and to rotate in both directions. Thus, the occupants have the ability to experience all of these movements while remaining inside the tent that is attached to the swing. The tent can be made of light weight canvas and has four isosceles trapezoidal sides with one side acting as a door. The door has a small inset window made of mesh with a material flap for closure. The tent may have both a ceiling and a floor. The outside of the tent has three small panels of felt which are attached to the tent for use with stories and literacy concepts. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20120138114 | Retractable Enclosure Assembly and Method of Using the Same - The present invention provides a retractable enclosure assembly and method of using the same. The assembly includes at least a base, a housing mounted to the base and a cover secured inside the housing. The assembly also includes a means mounted on the housing to engage the cover into the housing and to disengage the cover from the housing such that the disengagement of the cover functions to enclose the object and the engagement of the coyer functions to uncover the object. | 06-07-2012 |
| 20160138291 | COMPRESSIBLE STAND FOR AWNING WITH DETACHABLE SUPPORT LEG - A compressible stand for an awning support includes a base plate, a cover, guide posts extending upwardly from the base plate and downwardly from the cover, and a support plate configured with apertures receiving the guide posts in sliding engagement. The support plate supports a leg of the awning support. A biasing member tends to maintain the support plate and leg in a predetermined relationship with respect to the base plate under a normal load. When an additional load is placed on the support plate, the biasing member is compressed, and the support plate and leg are lowered. When the additional load is removed, the biasing member is decompressed, and the support plate and leg may return to their original positions. | 05-19-2016 |
