An automatic sunshade system mounted to a cabin-top of a vehicle automatically deploys from a stored and retracted orientation to a deployed orientation. The canopy is coupled to a plurality of support members that are wound about a hub and have stored energy when in retracted orientation. The support members unwind from the hub automatically and spread the canopy out over the vehicle. The support members may comprise a plurality of elongated portions that are coupled together by an elastic tether. The canopy may be retracted manual with a crank or by a motor that winds the support members around the hub.

Disclosed are illumination tent poles, tent frames and tents having one or more illumination tent poles. An illumination tent pole includes a tent pole, an elongated casing, a strip light source and a cover. The elongated casing is coupled to the tent pole or integrally formed with the tent pole. The elongated casing has an opening along a longitudinal direction of the elongated casing and facing away from the tent pole. The strip light source is disposed in the elongated casing along the longitudinal direction of the elongated casing. The strip light source emits a light when electrically connected to an electrical power source. The cover is coupled to the elongated casing and covers the opening of the elongated casing. The cover is made of a material that is at least partially transparent to the light emitted by the strip light source.

The present invention is intended to increase the privacy of the user by providing three walls. The present invention is designed in a semi-circle fashion to provide privacy on three sides. The present invention also provides the option to connect two privacy modules front-to-front to provide privacy on four sides. The present invention also provides the collapsibility aspect by attaching bungee cord at two points on each of the five separate units, which make up the structure of the privacy module, giving the user the quick ease of assembling and disassembling of structure. The present invention is covered by fabric interlaced with elastic from end to end on base and crown and is secured at four points, two at both ends of the crown and two at both ends of the base, by an elastic loop. The present invention utilizing this means of attaching the cover makes it extremely fast and easy to attach and detach.

A shelter is made from a plurality of connectable panels. The panels include a first panel which has a side edge, an exterior, and an interior, and a second panel which has a side edge, an exterior, and an interior. A connector is configured to hold the side edge of the first panel in abutting relationship with the side edge of the second panel. The connector includes an exterior segment which is configured to connect the exterior of the first panel to the exterior of the second panel, and an interior segment which is configured to connect the interior of the first panel to the interior of the second panel. The exterior and interior segments each include elastic cords which resiliently hold the two panels together. The edges of adjacent panels include ridges and mating grooves, and the panels include a viewing aperture which can be closed with a plug.

The garment bag of the present invention offers two means of hanging garments, both on the interior and on the exterior of the bag. The interior hangers are used when packing, storing, and transporting the user's garments. The exterior collapsible and removable rack is employed when the bag is used at an event/competition. This hanging system is an improvement over existing dance bags in two distinct ways: the upright bag design with the interior hangers allows the user to effectively fit, store, and organize their garments while existing bags lack the interior storage and hanging system; and the present bag provides a collapsible and removable rack that is easily set up and inserted into the bag's exterior holders for holding the garments external to the bag when at an event/competition. Existing dance bags with similar racks require a more difficult assembly and the bag must lie horizontal rather than upright.

Tents are disclosed herein. The tent includes a tent frame that, when assembled, forms an assembled tent frame that is configured to support the tent on a support surface and define an inner space between the assembled tent frame and the support surface. The tent also includes at least one clearance pole that, when operatively coupled to the assembled tent frame, extends away from the inner space to define an outer space, and a clearance mechanism that is configured to operatively couple the at least one clearance pole to the assembled tent frame and orient the at least one clearance pole to project in an upward direction relative to the support surface. The clearance mechanism includes a connector that is configured to operatively couple the at least one clearance pole to the tent frame.

A multi-purpose shelter includes a covering fabric, a first rod member, a plurality of loop straps, a plurality of cords and at least a weight member. The covering fabric has a plurality of side edges, and a first pocket extending along a transverse direction thereof. The first rod member has a forward end, a backward end, and a main portion extending between the forward end and the backward end. The main portion passes through the first pocket of the covering fabric, and is folded to form a curved contour between the forward end and the backward end to be erected on a support surface. Each cord connects the covering fabric to a support surface in a stretched manner. The weight member is detachably attached on one of the forward end and the backward end of the first rod member for providing a secure support to the multi-purpose shelter.

A calculus structure has a plurality of unit components and a plurality of joint components is provided. The unit components and the joint components are adapted to form a target structure. Each end of each of the joint components has an embedding construction or an embedded construction. Each of the unit components and the joint components has a bore therein for communication with each other. The bore is adapted to allow a cascading part to pass therethrough so that the unit components and the joint components are cascaded together by the cascading part, and the unit components and the joint components are movable relative to the cascading part so that the unit components and the joint components abut against each other in a cascading order to form the target structure.

Disclosed are tents and tent support frames. A tent support frame includes a rotatable connector and tent support poles. The rotatable connector includes first and second connectors configured to be coupled in a vertical direction with one above another, and rotatable with respect to each other. The first connector includes a first through-hole in a horizontal direction, and the second connector includes a second through-hole in the horizontal direction. Tent support poles include a first tent support pole configured to pass through the first through-hole of the first connector, and a second tent support pole configured to pass through the second through-hole of the second connector.

An easily deployable freestanding tent for individuals of all ages that is adjustable to accommodate use on varying terrain gradients. At least two collapsible arc-shaped frame members being connected support the tent, the frame assembly being connected with at least two movably securable devices that allow a user to adjust the apex of said frame members to provide a vertically upright configuration on sloping terrain. The frame assembly being constructed of lightweight high-strength materials and intended for use in recreation, commercial, and emergency use applications. Beneficially, users deploy this embodiment first by connecting the pole sections to form the frame members, then securing the top of said frame's apex by manipulating an intersection knot to a vertical configuration effectively setting the adjustable frame upright on even or uneven terrain, and further tensioning a main cord and adjusting a fabric cover as necessary to provide a durable substantially enclosed shelter.
