  • Patent number: 8887935
    Abstract: A collapsible durable outdoor adventure container is constructed of polymer sheeting having holes in flaps of the sheeting. The sheet is bendable and bent by a user to a selected tubular configuration to align through holes along a seam line in flaps of the sheet or sheeting assembly with cable tie clamping elements clamping said flaps together through the holes. A strap coupled to at least several of the clamping element running along the seam line acting as an outside wrapping and/or tensioning element to contain the clamped flaps and fully or partially contain the contents of the container providing a connection tensioning element between adjacent clamping elements as connected along the seam line of the flaps.

  • Patent number: 8602044
    Abstract: Disclosed are structures and methods of assembling and positioning an improved tent assembly where members of the assembly use flexible hollow sleeve structures with integral fabric hub intersections that are held in tension in combination with compression members that can be used for a variety of applications. Disclosed techniques make assembling tent assemblies significantly easier than known prior art since the intersecting flexible hollow sleeve structures can be made continuous. In addition, the improved tent assembly is significantly stronger when deployed with compression members because the hollow sleeve structures, with integral fabric hub intersections, can be tensioned, thus significantly increasing the strength of the overall structure.
