Abstract

The present invention is intended to increase the privacy of the user by providing three walls. The present invention is designed in a semi-circle fashion to provide privacy on three sides. The present invention also provides the option to connect two privacy modules front-to-front to provide privacy on four sides. The present invention also provides the collapsibility aspect by attaching bungee cord at two points on each of the five separate units, which make up the structure of the privacy module, giving the user the quick ease of assembling and disassembling of structure. The present invention is covered by fabric interlaced with elastic from end to end on base and crown and is secured at four points, two at both ends of the crown and two at both ends of the base, by an elastic loop. The present invention utilizing this means of attaching the cover makes it extremely fast and easy to attach and detach.

It further depicts the importance of the two (17 a) and the two (15 b) connecting points. The collapsibility of the crown (11 a) and base (11 a) relies on these four connecting points with the free-floating segments (16) and the attachment of the bungee cord (13 a) at points (13) to facilitate quick assembling and disassembling.
  • FIG. 24
  • Of present invention is an exploded view depicting the crown (11 a) and base (11 a), and the component parts which it comprises. The ends of (11 a) is the supporting points (13) for the fabric cover attachment mechanism and the auxiliary arm. The separation points are also depicted: two (17 a) which is permanently bonded to segments (17). Segment (17) is also permanently bonded to the supporting points (13). Within the two (13) are the securing points for the bungee cord (13 a). By connecting the two (13) via the bungee cord (13 a), the crown (11 a) and base (11 a) can be collapsed and still remain individual units. (17 a) attaches to the two free-floating segments (16), which is connected to segment (15) with its five permanently bonded segments: one (15 a)—one of the three attachment points for the supporting poles (11 b), two (15 b)—the connection points for the two free-floating segments (16) and two (15 c)—which is permanently bonded to connection points (15 a) and (15 b).
  • FIG. 25
  • Of the present invention is a view of the fabric cover (12) which is attached to the crown (11 a) and base (11 a) by the cover attachment mechanism (13 d)—a durable elastic cord which runs the length of the cover (12) and attaches at both ends the crown (11 a) and base (11 a) at supporting point (13). The four supporting points at (13) are also the connection points for the supporting poles (11 b) which connects to the supporting points (13) via segment (19) of the of the supporting poles (11 b). Supporting points (13) are also the connection points for the auxiliary arm.
  • FIG. 26
  • Of the present invention is an orthogonal view of where the crown (11 a) and base (11 a) connects to the two outer supporting poles (11 b) at supporting points (13). The four supporting points (13) are located at the ends of the crown (11 a) and base (11 a) and are permanently bonded to segment (17). The two outer supporting poles (11 b) connects to the crown (11 a) and base (11 a) at supporting points (13) via segment (19).
  • FIG. 27
  • Of the present invention is a sectional view of how the base (11 a) and crown (11 a) connects to the two outer supporting poles (11 b) at supporting points (13). The four supporting points (13) are located at the ends of the crown (11 a) and base (11 a) and are permanently bonded to segment (17). The two outer supporting poles (11 b) connects to the crown (11 a) and base (11 a) at supporting points (13) via segment (19). Supporting point (13) is also the housing for the metallic securing pin (13 b). The securing pin (13 b) secures the bungee cord (13 a) at both ends of the crown (11 a) and base (11 a). The bungee cord (13 a) loops around the securing pin (13 b) and the loop is secured by two compressed metal rings (13 c) which lock the loop.
  • FIG. 28A
  • Of the present invention is an elongated side view of one of the three identical supporting poles (11 b) in a separated configuration. (11 b) has three segments: two (19) at each ends which connect to the crown and base. Two (18) which is permanently bonded to (19) and houses the securing pin for bungee cord (18 a). The third is the free-floating segment(20). Segment (20) connects to the two open ends of (18), giving the collapsibility property of the supporting poles (11 b).
  • FIG. 28B
  • Of present invention is an elongated side view of one of the three identical supporting poles (11 b) in a separated configuration. (11 b) has three segments: two (19) at each ends which connect to the crown and base. Two (18) which is permanently bonded to (19) and houses the securing pin for bungee cord. The third is the free-floating segment (20). Segment (20) connects to the two open ends of (18), giving the collapsibility property of the supporting poles (11 b).
