Abstract
A modular system for creating a temporary plurality of individual living spaces, may include a plurality of anchors, where pairs of anchors create opposing sides of a personal space. A frame may be positioned between the pairs of anchors to create a bedding structure. The anchors may also provide storage space, lights, power source, among other features of a living area. A covering may be used between the pairs of anchors to separate the living space from the rest of the space to improve individual privacy.
Claims17
A collapsible modular system comprising:
- an anchor comprising a first side and a second side wherein the first side has a storage space;
- a plurality of walls wherein at least one side of a first wall securably engages the anchor at a first end on the first side and a second wall securably engages the anchor at a second end on the second side;
- and
- a bed frame.
A method of creating an occupiable space comprising:
- providing a collapsible modular system having an anchor comprising a first side and a second side wherein the first side has a storage space, a plurality of walls wherein at least one side of a first wall securably engages the anchor at a first end on the first side and a second wall securably engages the anchor at a second end on the second side, a bed frame;
- positioning the anchor in a desired location so that the walls of the anchor are accessible;
- rotating the first wall of the anchor away from the first side of the anchor to a resting position 90 degrees from the first wall of the anchor;
- rotating the second wall of the anchor away from the second side of the anchor to a resting position 90 degrees from the second wall of the anchor;
- securing a bed frame to the first side of the anchor and the first wall.
