Disclosed herein is an airfoil beach shade system. The system is comprised of a rectangular, beach shade constructed of multiple airfoils. The beach shade is attached on one side to a pivoting T-frame while the opposite side remains unattached or unfixed. The wind fills the airfoils, causing the beach shade to elevate and stay elevated while providing shade underneath. The pivoting T-frame allows for the device to automatically adjust to the changing direction of the wind.

The invention provides a portable, free-standing shade structure that is resistant to wind. The inventive shade structure can comprise a frame and a sheet, or canopy, that is connected to the frame under tension at two or more different heights to create an uneven, hypar conformation in the sheet. The uneven, hypar conformation of the sheet transfers wind force to the frame so as to press the frame against the surface upon which the shade structure rests, thereby making the inventive shade structure resistant to the movement, tipping, lift, and vibration that typically results when a portable shade structure is exposed to wind.

The present application relates to an automotive tent for fastening to a vehicle. The tent includes a base for fastening to the vehicle. A retractable cover is provided for retracting during transport, and expanding from the base to define a sleeping space. Advantageously, the cover may be readily erected by expanding the cover from the base to define the sleeping space. The cover may be collapsible.

A cover assembly for an indoor or outdoor item. The cover assembly is moveable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration and includes panels of a textile material stitched together with inside seams and outside seams. The cover assembly receives the selected item within an interior area defined by the panels and the selected item holds the cover assembly in the expanded configuration. The outside seams are biased to close toward an interior area of the cover assembly and the inside seams are biased to close away from the interior area such that, when the cover assembly is removed from the selected item, the cover assembly is biased to close along the inside and outside seams to cause the cover assembly to move to the collapsed configuration to increase the ease of folding and storing the cover assembly.

A rooftop tent fixing device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: clamp bodies provided in a pair; fixing brackets provided on upper portions of the clamp bodies and configured to detachably connect a fixing frame provided on a bottom surface of a rooftop tent and the clamp bodies, the fixing brackets having fastening holes; fastening members inserted and fastened into the fastening holes and having through-holes; a fastening rod inserted into the through-holes to connect the clamp bodies; and a locking member detachably coupled to one of the clamp bodies and configured to prevent removal of the fastening rod when coupled to one of the clamp bodies.
