  • Patent number: 10125516
    Abstract: The device for setting up a dismountable and/or foldable shelter includes at least two vertical posts that are each equipped, at different levels, with at least two substantially horizontal arms having a free end which is provided with fasteners in the form of a clip. There is at least one telescopic longitudinal member provided, at each of its ends, with an articulated connector which engages with a junction ring that is mounted so as to move in translation on each of the two posts. The junction ring includes a device for preventing movement in translation along the post.

  • Patent number: 8662096
    Abstract: A folding shelter structure capable of being reconfigured from an unfolded position to a folded position, and vice versa. The structure has telescopic uprights each having at least one lower element sliding outside an upper element secured to said structure and which support a collection of mutually-adjacent prismatic box structures. The walls of which having crisscross longitudinal members articulated in the manner of scissors. The structure is characterized in that said structure has indexing means that are built into said telescopic uprights, in order to block and maintain the lower element and the upper element in the folded position, in the unfolded position or in at least one intermediate position between the folded and unfolded positions.

  • Patent number: 7637275
    Abstract: This invention relates to a telescopic post for a folding structure, which can be used to move the structure from a raised deployed position to a folded position, and vice versa. The inventive post includes a lower element which can slide inside an upper element which is solidly connected to the structure. The lower part of the lower element rests on the ground to form a base. The upper element is solidly connected to a movement device, such as caster. The caster projects downward from the base in the folded position, but is withdrawn in the deployed position owing to the vertical movement of the upper element.
