DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with the invention, I have provided a shelter to enclose articles of personal property such as motorcycles, bicycles, lawn and garden equipment, etc.
comprising a base frame mounted coextensively in horizontal fashion to the ground, a plurality of u-shaped rib members covered by a suitable covering material which articulate around a novel hinge mechanism and which are essentially equally spaced in spanning relation over the base when in the first, covering, position and which are collapsed upon themselves in stacked relation when in the second, opened, position.
A motor and gear assembly may be employed to permit automated operation of the device, or the device may be manually operated.
Although the cover may be hinged relative to the base frame in any manner which will be apparent to those skilled in the art, a particularly suitable hinge mechanism is disclosed herein as having a pair of ground brackets, one on each lateral side of the base frame.
Each ground bracket has pivotally connected thereto a front flange and a rear flange through respective pivot pins.
In addition, one-half of the ribs are pivotally connected to the front flange and one-half of the ribs are pivotally connected to the rear flange.
The pivot pins are rotated by the motor and gear mechanism in the embodiment in which the ribs are moved automatically rather than manually.
The cover is preferably of a flexible, light weight, weather resistant material selected from the group consisting of: canvas, plastic, nylon, vinyl, rubber and fabric.
Alternatively, the cover may be made of hard plastic or metalized material, which may necessitate utilizing hinges between sections.
It is also contemplated that the invention not be limited to use with any particular personal property items mentioned herein, which are referred to by way of example but not limitation.
Other objects, features and advantages of my invention will become more readily apparent upon reference to the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings
