  • Patent number: 9834953
    Abstract: A scalable, light-weight, portable, self-supporting and adjustable, multi-purpose, cubular utility barrier enclosure (C.U.B.E.) structural system, made of a membrane that defines a space and resiliently flexible poles, that maintain a stable shape as the membrane is pushed out by the poles connected together in flexed pole loops contained within the space, that are caused to bow in a flexed condition and are biased in place by the membrane when the poles are positioned in a freestanding manner, with adjustable section lengths that slip fit connect together to form various flexed pole loop configurations in proportion with the membrane to be biased in place, the membrane is constituted by pliable mesh that is substantially impermeable to insects, comprised of durable, high-tenacity synthetic fiber, resistant to puncture, prolong exposure to the sun, wind, and weather elements, substantially waterproof, thermally insulated, fire resistant, and configured in various shapes and sizes.

    Abstract: A scalable, light-weight, portable, self-supporting and adjustable, multi-purpose, cubular utility barrier enclosure (C.U.B.E.), made of a membrane that defines a space and resiliently flexible segmented poles, that maintain a stable shape as the membrane is pushed out by the poles connected together in loops contained within the space, that are caused to bend in a flexed condition and are biased in place by the membrane when the poles are positioned in a freestanding manner, with adjustable section lengths that slip fit connect together to form various flexed loop configurations in proportion with the membrane to be biased in place. The cubular utility barrier enclosure (C.U.B.E.

  • Patent number: 7921863
    Abstract: A self-supporting, high-profile, insect net enclosure made of a fabric membrane that defines an interior rectangular space having two side walls, two end walls, a floor and ceiling with advanced insect protection properties, enhanced comfort, accessibility, ventilation, and lightweight storage characteristics, includes two resiliently flexible segmented poles having two angles each that separate three straight pole sections into one horizontal section and two vertical sections. The enclosure maintains a stable shape as the fabric membrane is pushed out by the poles contained within the interior rectangular space that are biased in place by the fabric membrane when the pole ends are positioned in opposite lower inside corners, with the vertical pole sections crossing diagonally, and the horizontal pole sections parallel to each other along top of side walls. The enclosure has a zipper door opening, and includes a fabric pouch that reverses to store the enclosure with poles for transportation.

  • Publication number: 20100065094
    Abstract: The self-supporting, high-profile, insect net enclosure with a water resistant fabric floor having advanced insect protection properties, with enhanced comfort, accessibility, and lightweight storage characteristics. The fabric is preferably impregnated with a long-lasting insecticide. Two resiliency flexible, segmented aluminum poles having two angles each, are held flexed on the inside with the endtips positioned in the reinforced lower corners on opposite sides, vertical portions bowed out as the poles cross diagonally at the end walls, and horizontal portions pushing up and tied in place at the midpoint along the top of the side walls, thereby forming the rectangular shape that supports the freestanding net enclosure. The net enclosure has a three zipper door opening at the center of a side wall and along the seam at the bottom. A fabric pouch sewn on the inside reverses and the net enclosure stores inside with poles for transportation.
