Claims17
An object, comprising:
- a panel having a continuous frame member that has a folded and an unfolded orientation, and a material covering portions of the frame member when the frame member is in the unfolded orientation, wherein the frame member is collapsible to the folded orientation by twisting and folding to form a plurality of concentric rings to substantially reduce the size of the frame member in the folded orientation;
- and
- a pole coupled to the panel to support the panel.
An object, comprising:
- a first panel and a second panel, each panel having a continuous frame member that has a folded and an unfolded orientation, and a material covering portions of its corresponding frame member when the corresponding frame member is in the unfolded orientation, wherein each frame member is collapsible to the folded orientation by twisting and folding to form a plurality of concentric rings to substantially reduce the size of the folded frame member in the folded orientation;
- and
- a pole coupled to the first panel to support the first panel, with the second panel coupled to the first panel.
An object, comprising:
- a panel having a continuous frame member that has a folded and an unfolded orientation, and a material covering portions of the frame member when the frame member is in the unfolded orientation, wherein the frame member is collapsible to the folded orientation by twisting and folding to form a plurality of concentric rings to substantially reduce the size of the frame member in the folded orientation;
- and
- a pole;
- further including an opening in the material of the panel, and wherein the pole is inserted through the opening and oriented transverse to the panel.
