Abstract: An exemplary embodiment providing one or more improvements includes a frame which attaches to outdoor furniture, in particular to a chair, and a canopy. Embodiments can be moved from an overhead position to a behind the chair position. The frames can be moved from a collapsed to a fully extended position. In embodiments the canopy can be positioned to contain the collapsed frame and chair in the carrying position.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a frame has a first expanded configuration, a second expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The frame includes a support member, a first elongate member, a second elongate member and a coupling member. A first end portion of the first elongate member is pivotally coupled to the support member. A first end portion of the second elongate member is pivotally coupled to the support member. The coupling member is coupled to a second end portion of the second elongate member. A second end portion of the first elongate member is coupled to the coupling at a first location of the coupling member when the frame is in its first expanded configuration. The second end portion of the first elongate member is coupled to the coupling member at a second location of the coupling member when the frame is in its second expanded configuration.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a frame has an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The frame includes a support member that has a first end portion and a second end portion opposite the first end portion. The first end portion of the first elongate member is pivotally coupled to the second end portion of the support member. A second elongate member has a first end portion and a second end portion opposite the first end portion. The first end portion of the second elongate member is pivotally coupled to the support member. A third elongate member has a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion of the third elongate member is pivotally coupled to the second end portion of the second elongate member. The third elongate member is pivotally coupled to the second end portion of the first elongate member.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a shelter includes a first hub configured to be moveably coupled to a plurality of support linkages. The shelter excludes a second hub different than the first hub. The shelter includes a support linkage from the plurality of support linkages. The support linkage is pivotally coupled to the first hub. The support linkage is moveable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. The support linkage includes a first member and a second member pivotally coupled to the first member. An angle formed by an intersection between a longitudinal axis defined by the first member and a longitudinal axis defined by the second member is less than 180 degrees when the support linkage is in its collapsed configuration. The angle is greater than 180 degrees when the support linkage is in its expanded configuration.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a seat frame having an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The seat frame includes a support member and four elongate members. A first elongate member is of a first pole type, a second elongate member is of a second pole type, and a third and fourth elongate member are of a third pole type defined by a length and a shape. Each of the elongate members are pivotably connected to the support member. When the seat frame is in the expanded configuration, the first and second elongate members have a first end disposed at a front portion of the seat frame and a second end disposed at a back portion of the seat frame; and the third and the fourth elongate member have a first end disposed at the back portion of the frame and a second end disposed at the front portion of the frame.

Abstract: A canopy device includes a canopy membrane, first and second engagement members configured for being releasably securable to a chair, and first and second pairs of posts. The first pair of posts has first ends independently pivotally coupled to the first engagement member and second ends coupled to the canopy membrane. The second pair of posts has firsts ends independently pivotally coupled to the second engagement member and second ends coupled to the canopy membrane. The canopy membrane is reconfigurable from a collapsed configuration to a deployed configuration as the second ends of the posts are pivoted away from each other.
