What is claimed is a collapsible and expandable multi structure system for children imaginary play:
- Each structure body of fabric canvas like membrane having four corners. Adhered or stitched foam like material added for proper support and structural integrity. Three walls and roof two spring articulating mechanisms. That attach in two front corners of structured front member wall inserted into slots and two slots on the bottom of two side member walls. To expand and be able to collapse with no assembly of parts. The two corners being applied to a pliable mat that can be collapsed and expanded by rolling into pliable mat for storage and rolled out of pliable mat for imaginary play.
- A collapsible and expandable structure with four corners roof and two corner bottom. Two front wall member corners have slots a spring articulating mechanism levers can be inserted. Two side wall members on the bottom of the structure have slots a spring articulating mechanism levers can be inserted, and stitched, adhered or glued to create the proper expansion, tension, and angle the canvas like fiber membrane structure to expand and collapse.
- Spring articulated mechanisms when compressed are automatically reset to be able to spring open when pliable matt is rolled open. For immediate expandability of structure. Spring articulated mechanisms with levers that intersect on the back of the spring hinge to create the proper stop angle and tension to achieve proper expandability for canvas like membrane structure.
- A method of collapsing and expanding a play imaginary structure for toys and figurines/small figures. Made of a fabric or canvas like membrane with four corners roof and two corner bottom comprising of expandable spring articulated mechanisms. That increased tension conditions on two sides of membrane walls of the structure to allow the expandable structure. The spring articulating mechanism can be compressed flat by separating the intersecting levers on the hinge and that compression will reset the spring for automatic release for expandability to erect canvas like membrane structure.
- Scissor-type spring hinge, a custom design of spring hinge or other configurations. The hinge assembly/linkage, or other configuration. The hinge spring assembly/linkage may be constructed of steel, aluminum, plastic, or other suitably strong materials and may include, interchangeable supports may be constructed of steel, aluminum, plastic, wood or other suitably strong materials longer or shorter shafts/levers to give support to taller or smaller canvas like membrane structures. With intersecting levers to stop at the proper tension and angle when expanded. One lever of the bottom of the spring articulating mechanism hinge to be attached to the pliable mat with a hook and loop fastener, stitched or glued
