  • Patent number: 11459789
    Abstract: A hammock and tent assembly for viewing the sky includes a frame, a shell, and a hammock. The frame comprises a plurality of segments, which are hingedly interconnected so that the frame is selectively positionable in a deployed configuration and a stowed configuration. In the deployed configuration, the frame is substantially cuboid shaped and defines an interior space. In the stowed configuration, the segments are proximally positioned. The hammock is selectively engageable to the frame so that the hammock is suspended therefrom and positioned in the interior space. The shell is selectively positionable over and around the frame and can shelter a user positioned on the hammock. At least a portion of the shell positioned over the top is substantially transparent, thereby allowing the user a view therethrough.
