A shelter for an automobile has a pair of tracks positioned on opposing sides of the automobile and rest on a supporting surface such as the floor of a garage or car-port. A plurality of frames each having a u-shaped contour extend on opposing sides and over the automobile and are spaced apart from it. The terminal ends the frames are engaged with trucks which are in rolling engagement with the tracks. A canopy of a flexible material is attached over the frames and is movable between a folded state and an unfolded state when the trucks are moved within the tracks. The tracks have mutually orthogonal roller contact surfaces and the trucks have mutually orthogonal rollers positioned for rolling on the roller contact surfaces of said tracks. The canopy is able to be withdrawn from either of opposing sides and is further able to be drawn over the automobile to the supporting surface at both opposing sides.

A tent having a frame (1), the frame (1) having a plurality of sub-frames (3a-c); each said sub-frame (3a-c) having a pair of elongate side members (5a-c) connected by an elongate cross member (35a-c), a first free end (4a-c), and a second free end (6a-c); a first foot (10) coupled to each of said first free ends (4a-c) of said sub-frames (3a-c); a second foot (10) coupled to each of said second free ends (6a-c) of said sub-frames (3a-c); each foot (10) adapted to permit movement of said sub-frames (3a-c) with respect to each other, and each foot (10) adapted to be placed on a surface to support said frame (1) in use; one sub-frame (3c) adapted to be located in use on a ground surface, a locking mechanism (2) locatable on a second sub-frame (3b) and adapted in use to slide along said side member (5b) of said second sub-frame (3b) to lock in place a support member (30a, b) extendable in use from said one sub-frame (3c).

Aspects are directed to a collapsible privacy structure that has a low profile when in an un-deployed state to preserve the sight lines of observers. The collapsible privacy structure may then be deployed causing a canopy structure to extend upwardly forming an internal volume that provides privacy and seclusion to the user of the structure. The internal volume may be used for a bathroom, a shower, a medical evaluation/treatment space, and/or a changing space. Upon the departure of the user from the internal volume, the collapsible privacy structure may return to the low-profile nature provided by the un-deployed state.

A stowable and deployable shelter may include a frame structure with a first support arch pivotably attached to a base at a pair of pivot points, and a second support arch pivotably attached to the first support arch via a pair of slidable hinges. The slidable hinges are positioned to translate along the first support arch toward and away from the pair of pivot points. In some embodiments, at least one of the slidable hinges comprises a locking mechanism for releasably locking the at least one slidable hinge at a selected location along the first support arch. In some embodiments, the hinges may be fixed instead of being slidable. The support arches support a fabric shell to form an interior of the shelter. The base may include a sled container having runners for sliding through snow or across terrain.

A vaporizer containment tent. The vaporizer containment tent includes a housing. The housing defines an interior volume that has an open lower end. The housing also defines a first end opposite of a second end, with an elongated area therebetween. A cut out is placed on the second end of the housing, corresponding to an area where the feet of an individual using the vaporizer containment tent would extend. The housing also includes a flap that is placed on the side portion of the housing.
