## Abstract

The present invention may be used as a beach blanket. A blanket may be generally rectangular in shape with a tab attached at each corner. There may also be an interior tab attached on a bottom surface approximately on a corner diagonal axis adjacent each of the tabs. A frame may be generally an open rectangular shape with two opposed spaced apart longitudinal tubular members attached to two opposed and spaced apart lateral tubular members by four corner members. The corner members may have two orthogonal horizontal arms and an orthogonal vertical arm wherein each of the vertical arms have a lower attachment element and an upper attachment element for attachment of one of the tabs and one of the interior tabs.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device for use as a beach blanket comprising:
a blanket that is generally rectangular in shape with a tab attached at each corner and an interior tab attached at a bottom surface approximately on a corner diagonal axis adjacent each of said tabs;
a frame that is generally an open rectangular shape with two opposed and spaced apart longitudinal tubular members attached to two opposed and spaced apart lateral tubular members by a plurality of corner members; and
said corner members have two orthogonal horizontal arms and an orthogonal vertical arm wherein each of said vertical arms having a lower attachment element and an upper attachment element for attachment of one of said tabs and one of said interior tabs.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device as in claim 1 wherein said tabs and said interior tabs each have an eyelet, and each of said vertical arms having a lower aperture and an upper aperture therein for receipt of said tabs and said interior tabs.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The device as in claim 2 wherein a pin is disposed in each of said vertical arms adjacent each of said lower aperture and said upper aperture for insertion in one of said eyelets.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The device as in claim 1 wherein said longitudinal tubular members and said lateral tubular members are segmented and an elastic cord is disposed in said longitudinal tubular members, said lateral tubular members and said horizontal arms.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The device as in claim 4 wherein said segmented tubular members have a first end flared for receipt of a second end of one of said segmented tubular members.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The device as in claim 1 wherein:
a flexible tubular member is attached to said vertical arm of each of two adjacent corner members;
each of said flexible tubular members is bent toward two opposed corner members and attached thereto; and
a cover is attached between each of said flexible tubular members.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The device as in claim 6 wherein said flexible tubular members are formed of segmented tubular members.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The device as in claim 6 wherein said cover has a side wall.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The device as in claim 1 wherein a pocket is formed in a top surface adjacent a peripheral edge of said blanket.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The device as in claim 1 wherein said tabs and said interior tabs are constructed of an elastic material.
