The present invention provides for the first time a foldable structure comprising a resilient frame and a coiling-assist assembly for facilitating coiling the resilient frame while folding. The coiling-assist assembly comprises a releasable grasp coupled to the resilient frame at a pre-determined first location. The releasable grasp temporarily holds the resilient frame in a first folding configuration, whereby the pre-determined second location of the resilient frame is diametrically opposed to the pre-determined first location of the resilient frame.

A temporary shelter for an aircraft maintenance worker includes a base pad having a central opening for surrounding and exposing a repair site on an aircraft. A frame anchored within pockets on the base pad supports a canopy to create a protective enclosure for the worker. A junction box securable to the pad includes a plurality of electrical receptacles and quick-connect, compressed-air fittings on an upper surface for powering various work tools. When the pad is anchored to the aircraft with a pair of retaining straps, the erected canopy provides a temporary shelter that protects a worker from sunlight and inclement weather while providing convenient, uninhibited access to a maintenance site.

A mosquito repellent and antibacterial tent includes a tent body, a first support bar and a second support bar. The tent body is formed by a base fabric entirely provided with a mosquito repellent agent and a waterproofing agent. An adhesive coating layer is provided on the base cloth. The tent body includes a plurality of first positioning parts. A side surface of the tent body has at least one opening. The first support bar and the second support bar are connected to the plurality of first positioning parts so as to be crossed to support the tent body. Thus, the mosquito repellent and antibacterial tent achieves mosquito repellent and antibacterial effects as well as being waterproof and sturdy.

A foldable modular structure for a fast-erecting shelter comprising the assembly of profiled sections that form at least two opposing arches linked by at least two purlins, including one ridge purlin. A first end of the ridge purlin is linked by a hinge to a first ridge part of a first arch, said hinge comprising first pivoting means allowing said ridge purlin to pivot on a transverse axis, parallel to the plane of the arch, in order to allow the purlin to fold parallel to said arch, and second pivoting means allowing the ridge purlin to pivot on an axis perpendicular to the plane of the arch, and the second end of the ridge purlin comprises linking means for linking with a second ridge part of a second arch, said linking means being arranged to provide a dismountable but rigid link between the ridge purlin and said second linking part.

A scalable, light-weight, portable, self-supporting and adjustable, multi-purpose, cubular utility barrier enclosure (C.U.B.E.) structural system, made of a membrane that defines a space and resiliently flexible poles, that maintain a stable shape as the membrane is pushed out by the poles connected together in flexed pole loops contained within the space, that are caused to bow in a flexed condition and are biased in place by the membrane when the poles are positioned in a freestanding manner, with adjustable section lengths that slip fit connect together to form various flexed pole loop configurations in proportion with the membrane to be biased in place, the membrane is constituted by pliable mesh that is substantially impermeable to insects, comprised of durable, high-tenacity synthetic fiber, resistant to puncture, prolong exposure to the sun, wind, and weather elements, substantially waterproof, thermally insulated, fire resistant, and configured in various shapes and sizes.

The invention relates to a canopy for protection against elements. It is especially relevant for a boat or a pleasure vessel but may also be used in places where protection from the sun is desirable, e.g. terraces. The canopy has a centrally located anchoring point for a line and at least one side anchoring rope. The canopy comprises a continuous resilient frame arranged in a channel around the circumference of the canopy. The central anchoring point comprises an in-the-canopy-located plate through which the central line is led and a splint that constitutes the anchoring point for the line.

An adjustable folding cabana having a frame with legs is disclosed. A seat is supported on said frame. A front support member, a rear support member and an intermediate support member support a cabana fabric roof. The front support member is movable between a rear support position, an intermediate support position and a front support position. A guide rail is attached to the frame beneath said seat which has a front stop, an intermediate stop and a rear stop. Manipulating a control rod causes a cabana fabric hood to be fully extended when the rod is secured in the front stop, to be partially collapsed when the rod is secured in the intermediate stop, and to be fully collapsed when the rod is secured in the rear stop.
