Various embodiments for a collapsible cot are provided. A collapsible cot can include a first telescoping member, a second telescoping member, and folding support mechanisms. Each of the folding support mechanisms can include a crossmember, a first arm having a first end pivotably coupled to a first side of the crossmember and a second end slidably coupled to the first telescoping member, and a second arm having a first end pivotably coupled to a second side of the crossmember and a second end slidably coupled to the second telescoping member. The second end of the first arm and second arm can include a coupler having a cross-section having a shape and size similar to a cross-section of the first telescoping member and the second telescoping member.

New forms of sand-resistant towels, mats, and other textiles, devices, systems and methods are provided. In some aspects of the invention, a beach towel or mat with an inherent sand guard at its edge, and around its periphery, is provided. In other aspects, the guard comprises an internal inflatable skeleton, optimized to demark a home base and prevent small children from wandering from a play area on or about the home base. In still other aspects, the towel or mat is configured for packing and toting by folding and rolling techniques, and the towel or mat presents specialized packing, toting and other devices, such as a sealable pocket(s), reversible self-holding strap(s) and a shoulder strap(s), when so folded and rolled. In several embodiments, the profile and component material(s) of the towel or mat are also specialized to prevent the influx and retention of sand and other loose ground particles.

Each of the folding support mechanisms can include a crossmember, a first arm having a first end pivotably coupled to a first side of the crossmember and a second end slidably coupled to the first telescoping member, and a second arm having a first end pivotably coupled to a second side of the crossmember and a second end slidably coupled to the second telescoping member. The second end of the first arm and second arm can include a coupler having a cross-section having a shape and size similar to a cross-section of the first telescoping member and the second telescoping member. The coupler can permit sliding of the at least one folding support mechanism along the first and second telescoping members.

A frame for a rucksack that is convertible into a support for a person such as a chair or bed. Also, a rucksack including such a frame. A convertible frame for a rucksack comprises two main frame members connected together by a pair of extendable connectors; at least two leg members connected or connectable to the main frame members; and a flexible support attached or attachable to the main frame members to extend between the main frame members, the frame being convertible between a first configuration, in which the main frame members have a first distance between them, and a second configuration, in which the frame forms a support for a person and the main frame members have a second distance between them. Also, a rucksack comprising such a frame, a bag, a rear cover and shoulder straps.

A connecting piece (100) comprises a first body (101), two supporting legs (102) respectively connected to the left and right sides of the first body (101), a supporting arm (103) connected to the first body (101) and extends upward; the first body (101) has a first mounting hole (1011) opening forward; the supporting arm (103) has a second mounting hole (1031). It is convenient to assemble and simplifies the connection operation of a cot. A tensioning piece comprises a second body (201), a clamping portion (202), the second body (201) has a connecting hole (2011), the clamping portion (202) has an opening (2021) for clamping onto a side rod (400) of the cot, and the opening (2021) is arc-shaped. So it can be easily disassembled and assembled without additional tools. And a cot is convenient to store and disassemble and assemble.

A cot includes a cloth having horizontal poles inserted into both ends thereof; a plurality of lateral support bars for supporting a load in contact with the ground, at least one of the plurality of lateral support bars comprising a support bar first portion pivotally connected to a support bar second portion such that the support bar has a first, locked position and a second, unlocked position; and a plurality of connection bars connected to both ends of each support bar and respectively having clips at terminals thereof to receive the horizontal poles.

Disclosed is an easy-assembling folding bed, comprising a bed surface, bed side rods, and a footing component; the rods are disposed in parallel, the footing component is arranged in multiple groups, uniformly disposed and is engaged with the rods; the footing component comprises first and second components. The invention has simple structure, less materials, lighter weight and is convenient to carry. By rotating the second C-shaped engaging piece, the distance between the first and second C-shaped engaging pieces is changed, so the surface is tightened. The locking hook can automatically hook the locking fixing piece and lock it by the reset torsional spring, so the consumer can tighten and lock the surface. By twisting the hook to overcome the torsion of the spring and then rotating, the hook and the fixing piece are disengaged, and the footing component can be easily removed and folded to reduce the packaging volume.
