Module for observation/monitoring (1) comprising: a supporting mount (2); a telescope (3) rotatably supported by said mount (2); and an opening shelter (4), also supported by said mount (2); said shelter (4) enclosing said telescope (3) within a housing volume (5) when in a closed configuration and clearing a line-of-sight access of the telescope (3) to the external environment when in an open configuration.

An 11-device-in-one system (which can be used as 360-degree-rotatable rollable portable lockable collapsible expandable carport, green house, gazebo, storage, attic, awnings, tent, workshop, outdoor tables, booth, and RV port) comprises: round bars; square bars releaseably attached to the round bars; 360-degree rotatable lockable wheels rotatably attached to the round bars; canvas roof panels; canvas side panels; canvas end panels; canvas gap-covering panels; panel-lifting Velcros sewn to the side and gap-covering panels; panel-sealing zippers sewn to the end panels (for forming doors); panel-sealing grommets attached to the roof, side, and end panels; bungee cords and balls inserted through the grommets (for attaching the roof, side, and end panels together); first telescopic arms foldably and releaseably attached to the round bars; second telescopic arms foldably attached to the first telescopic arms; feet welded to the second telescopic arms (for attaching to each other over the roof panels to form the frames for booth signs); and toes welded to the round bars (for releaseably locking the feet thereon to form the frames for awnings and tables).

A portable structure has a main body and a plurality of telescopic beams. The main body includes a plurality of stacking modules. The plurality of stacking modules are configured to move between a collapsed position and an uncollapsed position. Each of the plurality of stacking modules has an inner surface and an outer surface. The plurality of stacking modules include a bottom stacking module and a top stacking module. The bottom stacking module is selectively and slidably disposed within the top stacking module. The top stacking module has a plurality of holes formed therethrough. The bottom stacking module is nested within the top stacking module, where the plurality of stacking modules are in the collapsed position. The bottom stacking module is unnested from the top stacking module, where the plurality of stacking modules are in the uncollapsed position.

Disclosed is a shelter having a base having base buses; a frame having curves and beams supporting the curves. Each end of the curves are attached to corresponding base bus; each curve is composed of curved elements, the curved element has means for connecting a curve to another curve with a beam. The shelter further has a cable, which cable is for tightening and supporting the frame. Additionally, there is a curved element, and a use of a shelter as a shelter for aircrafts or as a sports hall.

A manual or motor activated enclosure, appropriate for any surface to be enclosed, comprising matching opposite cross-linked structures containing a set of profiles that fits in the field of telescopic modular pivoting roof structures, that upon retraction it is housed underground such that none of its components are visible above ground, and upon deployment it achieves complete enclosure of the area while proving for openings.

An extendable and retractable column which is formed from at least three linked sections or chains. The linked sections include a plurality of individual segments linked end to end. As the linked segments are extended, each of the individual segments of the linked chains engage individual segments of adjacent linked sections to form a column. As the linked sections are retracted, each of the individual segments of the linked sections disengage from the individual segment of the adjacent linked sections and the individual linked sections may be rolled up into a multi-sided form for compact storage.

A concealed storage system for storing objects is disclosed. The system has an outer casing having a top portion and an open bottom portion defining a hollow interior of the outer casing, an inner casing securely and movably positioned in the interior of the outer casing, wherein the inner casing comprises one or more compartments for securely storing objects, a top portion and a bottom portion, a pulley system securely and operatively positioned on a top portion of the inner casing, wherein the pulley system moves the inner casing in and out of the outer casing when actuated by a motor from a recessed state and non-recessed state; and a normalized conductive object attached to the bottom portion of the inner casing such that when the inner casing is in its recessed state, the normalized conductive object is flush to a ceiling.

A method, assembly and system of assembling and disassembling a shelter is provided. The method provided is configured to assemble a modular shelter in a hard to access location without heavy machinery. The assembly comprises a plurality of shipping modules having truss systems composed of beams and columns. The trusses may be connected to other trusses with the help of joint nodes. The truss system may be extended for sliding columns, may be connected to varying other trusses with varying joint nodes and may comprise connecting elements for angled connections. The assembly and the truss system are modular in that a plurality of the beams, columns and joint nodes may be removable.

A shelter system having a stationary section configured to be positioned below grade and having a plurality of perimeter walls forming a stationary frame. A plurality telescoping sections are nested within the stationary section. A roof panel is attached to a top telescoping section of the plurality telescoping sections. A lift system is configured to provide a vertical force to the top telescoping section such that the plurality of telescoping sections are selectively positionable between an idle configuration below grade and a raised configuration above grade.

Modular shelter systems are described herein. In one aspect, the modular shelter system includes an endcap positioned at a first end of the modular shelter system. The endcap includes a first support arch; and an endcap frame. The modular shelter system also includes a second support arch positioned at a second end of the modular shelter system. The modular shelter system also includes at least one section assembly disposed between the first support arch and the second support arch. The section assembly includes a plurality of purlins oriented along a longitudinal axis of the modular shelter system.
