  • Patent number: 6502594
    Abstract: Canopy structure for creating, selectively and removable, a free-standing, temporary canopy over a selected article, such as a food article. This structure includes, fundamentally, a thin flexible, and preferably transparent, sheet canopy material prepared, appropriately, into pre-selected sizes (typically squares or rectangles) and one or more elongate plastically and elastically bendable ribs, made, for example, of a suitable plastic or wire material, which can be bent to the shape of a vaulting arch, which shape is capable substantially of retaining, and which functions as a support over which the canopy sheet material is placed. Opposite ends of such a rib in use may be tucked into articles which form part of the environment of the article which is being covered, or they may be supported in removeably attachable feet that are reusable and are supplied with the rib and sheet material.
