An openable canopy housing having a series of movable, telescoping transparent arched panels which form the combination roof and sides. Part of the roof of the housing is formed by a horizontal beam which runs the length of the structure. The transparent panels can be selectively opened or closed to provide a structure which can be used for indoor as well as outdoor use. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention provides an openable canopy housing having a base for the housing, and a horizontal beam which is mounted a predetermined distance above the base.
A plurality of transparent arched panels are arranged on at least one side of the horizontal beam.
The transparent arched panels extend at their lower ends to the base of the housing.
The panels are movable in the lengthwise direction of the horizontal beam of the housing.
An object of the invention is to provide an openable canopy housing wherein a horizontal beam is extended and provided above a base, and a plurality of arched panels are arranged on the sides of the horizontal beam.
The panels are extended at their lower ends to the base of the establishment, form a canopy, and are movable in the lengthwise direction of the horizontal beam.
A further object of the invention is to provide an openable canopy housing wherein an indoor establishment is made by closing the panels, and an outdoor establishment is made by opening the panels.
The establishment has an all-weather utility, can be used all the year round, and the utility of a sporting establishment or the like is improved.
Another object is to provide an openable canopy housing wherein the panels are formed of a transparent material, and the greater part of the outside surface of the establishment is covered with panels.
The height to the horizontal beam and the length in the vertical direction of the panel are made equal to each other so that sunshine may be incident through not only the upper part, but also the side parts.
A large amount of the light may thus be taken in and, when the panels are moved to the open position, the internal establishment may be completely opened and may perform the same function as an outdoor establishment.
A further object is to provide an openable canopy housing wherein, because a plurality of panels are provided only on the sides of a horizontal beam, but only a newly constructed establishment but also an already constructed establishment can be made an indoor establishment
