This invention falls within the domain of beach sunshade technology and introduces a beach sunshade. It comprises a sunshade cover, in which crossbar is internally mounted, with vertical poles fixed at both ends of the crossbar. This particular type of beach sunshade utilizes a combination of a crossbar, vertical poles, fasteners, connecting ropes, sandbags, connecting rods, securing rings, and insertion rods to ensure a more stable setup when placed on the beach. First, the internally mounted crossbar and vertical poles provide essential support, enabling the sunshade cover to maintain its width effectively. Then, the external surface of the crossbar allows for the secure attachment of a connecting rod. The connecting rod, in turn, firmly hold the securing ring on their external surfaces.

A deployable tent having a tent cloth, and a skeleton having at least one first arch provided with a first deformable elongate element and a second deformable elongate element that are arranged end-to-end by their first ends. The skeleton has a folded position and a deployed position, and in the deployed position, the distance between the second ends of the first and second deformable elongate elements of the first arch is less than the sum of the lengths of the first and second deformable elongate elements. The deformation in bending of the first and second deformable elongate elements of the first arch increases and then decreases during the passage between the deployed position and the folded position.

A low wind-resistance canopy tent includes a tarpaulin, multiple traction assemblies, and several support rod assemblies. Extension portions are affixed to the tarpaulin edges, each featuring contact areas. Atop each support rod assembly sits a contact head, and the traction assemblies connect to the extension portions. When the canopy tent is stretched, the contact heads rest against the contact areas, and the tarpaulin edges remain free of downwardly bent skirts. The extension portions, connected to the tarpaulin edges, are upheld by the contact heads, preventing sagging along the tarpaulin edges near the areas in contact with the support rod assemblies, thus averting the formation of skirts.

The portable privacy screen includes one or more barrier sections, a plurality of guylines, and a plurality of stakes. The portable privacy screen may be a visual barrier that may be adapted to be erected at an accident scene to provide privacy for an accident victim. An individual barrier section selected from the one or more barrier sections may be collapsed for storage within an emergency vehicle when not in use. The individual barrier section may be secured in place by a plurality of aprons located at the bottom of the individual barrier section, by the plurality of guylines, by the plurality of stakes, or by any combination thereof. The one or more barrier sections may be coupled end-to-end to lengthen the visual barrier.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to distributing a laterally distributed load applied by a flexible surface to one or more longitudinal load paths. A support connection hub may, for example, include a first cavity extending longitudinally along a first axis and configured to receive a vertical support member at a bottom side of the support connection hub. The hub may, for example, include a second cavity extending across a top of the hub along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis. The second cavity may, for example, be horizontally and releasably receive a lateral support member orthogonal to the vertical support member such that the lateral rod is configured to support a flexible surface distributed along the lateral rod. Various embodiments may advantageously transfer a load from the flexible surface to the vertical rod along a load path substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses related to a sunshade system are provided herein. The sunshade system includes a plurality of poles. The poles are configured to couple to a ground surface along a row of parking spaces in a parking lot. The sunshade system one or more panels. The one or more panels are configured to extend between the plurality of poles. The one or more panels are configured to be arranged in a vertical orientation when coupled to the plurality of poles.
