Abstract
A shielding tent wherein a frame is fixed above a window or the like, a winding device for winding up a canvas or window screen is removably fitted to this frame, sliding frames each having a groove guiding and engaging the canvas or window screen are rotatably borne at the upper ends on both ends of the frame, a bottom member removably fitted in the horizontal direction below the window is rotatably connected at the outer end with the lower end of the sliding frame which is inclined outward. As required, side plates are rotatably pivoted to the sliding frames and the frame of the side plates is removably fitted to the bottom member so that the structure may be foldable and may have a pot or the like mounted on it.
Claims11
A foldable shielding tent for a window comprising in combination:
- a. mounting means adapted to be secured to a structure adjacent the top of the window;
- b. elongated winding means;
- c. means releasably securing said winding means to said mounting means;
- d. means biasing said winding means for rotation in one direction;
- e. web material secured at one end thereof to said winding means for coiling about said winding means when rotated in said one direction;
- f. a pair of elongated sliding frame members;
- g. means pivotally securing one end of each of said sliding frame members to said mounting means adjacent opposite ends of said elongated winding means such that said sliding frame members extend in a generally downward direction;
- h. means on at least one of said sliding frame members for retaining the free end of said web material at at least one location along the length of said sliding frame member;
- i. a bottom member;
- j. means pivotally securing one side of said bottom member to said sliding frame members adjacent their lower ends;
- such that said bottom member may be pivoted upwardly between the sliding frame members and the window;
- and
- k. means for releasably securing the side of said bottom member opposite said one side to the structure adjacent the bottom of the window;
- l. whereby, when said shielding tent is unfolded, said sliding frame members extend angularly outwardly from the top of the window when the lower ends of said sliding frame members are supported by said bottom member at a predetermined distance from the bottom of said window, and when said shielding tent is folded, said sliding frame members extend parallel to the window when said bottom member is released from the structure and pivoted upwardly parallel to said sliding frame members;
- and
- m. whereby different winding means supporting different web materials may be exchanged in said shielding tent.
