RECONFIGURABLE SHELTER
A reconfigurable shelter includes a set of biasable members that are secured or securable at a first end thereof at spaced positions to inhibit movement of the first ends from the spaced positions. A flexible cover is connected or connectable to the set of flexible members to at least partially enclose a space between the set of biasable members. A closure structure is connected to the set of biasable members or the flexible cover to alternately condition the set of biasable members between an open configuration, in which the second ends of the set of biasable members are positioned to provide an opening in the flexible cover towards the second ends of the set of biasable members, and a closed configuration, in which the second ends of the set of biasable members are positioned to diminish or close the opening.
ACCESS TUNNEL SYSTEM FOR THE SHELTERED GUIDANCE OF PERSONS
An access tunnel system comprising at least one access tunnel for the sheltered guidance of persons to a vehicle, an aircraft, a building or the like. In accordance with the invention, a node element is provided at which the access tunnel opens and which at least one further access tunnel adjoins.
GABLE ASSEMBLY FOR USE WITH A MODULAR WATERCRAFT LIFT COVER
The modular boat lift cover for a watercraft comprises a gable assembly and an adjustable support structure. All of the straight components are packaged into the main box frame channels for simplicity in packaging as well as quality control, ensuring no components are missing during packaging and shipping. The box frame channels have sufficient bulk to store the gable components during transport. The modular boat lift cover system has a robust, lightweight design that is compatible and adjustable for width, height and length as the boat owner modifies his existing boat or purchases a new boat, and that will protect the watercraft from the elements and will withstand even the severest of storms, undamaged as well as having the ability to be cantilevered. The modular boat lift cover is easy for the user to assemble and adjust on square lake style boat lifts, and the typically non-square tidal lifts.

Tent or shade providing structure
A tent (10) comprised of two panels (12, 14) are joined at their tops (16) but which have free lower ends resting on the ground. The tent (10) is maintained in its vertical position by a pair of elongated rods (22, 24) on the inside of each side panel that are arranged in an X configuration. The ends of the rods are positioned in pockets (26, 28, 30, 32, 34) provided in the interior of the four corners of each side panel and are somewhat rigid but capable of flexing outwardly to provide structural support for the side panels. Adjustment straps (40, 42, 44) along the vertical edges of the side panels are used to adjust the tension on the rods. In a second embodiment (110) only one side panel (112) is provided and a vertical pole (160, 162) is used to support the top of the panel. The slide panel (112) is also provided with crossbars in an X configuration. The vertical angle of the vertical support pole (160, 162) can be changed to adjust the height of the lean-to.

One-touch tent flysheet
A one-touch tent flysheet having an edge portion is fixed to the ground in a state in which the one-touch tent flysheet covers a tent to protect the tent from an external environment, includes a waterproof cloth installed to cover the tent, a tunnel-type pole which is fixed to the waterproof cloth to allow the waterproof cloth to stand in the form of a tunnel when the flysheet is installed and which is formed in a ring shape and bent so that a pair of first points facing each other press against the ground and a pair of second points facing each other, which are at a right angle from the first points, are located at the highest height level, and a fastening member configured to connect and fix portions of the tent and the flysheet to allow the flysheet to be attached to or detached from the tent.
TENTS
Tents are disclosed herein. The tent comprises 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 comprises 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.

PERSONAL POP-UP PODS
Disclosed herein are novel personal pop-up pods designed for a single user. In one embodiment, a personal pop-up pod can provide a user with privacy and/or protection from the surrounding environment. The personal pop-up pods can be designed such that a user can remain mobile, i.e., able to move from one location to another while using a personal pop-up pod. The personal pop-up pods can be designed such that a user can selectively gain access to the environment surrounding the pop-up pod by opening windows and other points of access. The personal pop-up pods can protect the user form a variety of conditions surrounding the personal pop-up pods such as, for example, rain, snow, wind, low temperatures, and other such climate related elements or communicable diseases and other such health risks.
