    摘要: An inflatable docking station for a Mars roving vehicle (Mars rover) provides a recharging station as well as a storage facility for the Mars rover during adverse environmental conditions. The docking station/garage allows for extended operational life for the Mars Rover, allows for the Mars rover to operate at the polar regions of Mars, where extreme cold conditions restrict rover operation, and provides for a warmer habitat for the Mars rover. Conventional planetary roving vehicles only be deployed from the warmer equator region of the planet surface. However, these roving vehicles may never explore the polar regions because the roving vehicle may not have enough stored power. The docking station/garage provides a remote outpost for, among other things, storing and recharging the Mars Rover to allow it to reach more remote areas.

    摘要: A system and method for defining an enclosure comprising a front, a rear, sides and a closing portion. The system and method further provide a base on a base receiving surface and a closing portion. The front, rear, sides, base, and closing portion define a space enclosing an object or creating a sheltered environment. The system and method further provide stiffening devices extending from the sides and the closing portion, attachment means coupling the sides to the separate base and the sides to the closing portion and attachment means holding edges of adjacent sections of the sides and edges of adjacent sections of the closing portion together. The system and method also typically provide for access areas that have hinged sections. The system and method further comprise connectors located between the closing portion and the sides through which the fasteners also pass to couple the sides to the closing portion.

    摘要: The disclosure describes a portable garage with a ballast-containing base. The garage is assembled at a site without physical attachment thereto and disassembled for erection at another site. Each elongated base segment extending along the sidewall of the garage has a cavity therein for receiving ballast, which, after erection of the garage, is filled with water, sand or gravel. The weight thereof stabilizes the structure. The bases have extensions which interlock and overlie connector portions. Apertures through the connectors house support members and, upon the sidewall being assembled, these columns are vertically disposed. Between support members a prefabricated roof is attached. The ballast-container is a lightweight, molded plastic construct of high-impact, UV resistant material. The base is equipped with suitable inlet and outlet ports for the addition and removal of ballast.

    摘要: A collapsible enclosure that generally comprises a symmetrical pair of base members and a pliable protective cover supported by a plurality of internal frame members pivotally connected on the axis of the hinge points for the base members. By manually rotating the first frame member about its axis, the protective cover and additional frame members unfurl over the base members and surround a vehicle or object in a shell-shaped enclosure. To store or transport the enclosure, the protective cover and frame members collapse in an accordion-like fashion and sandwich between the folded base members.

    摘要: A mobile cover for scrap metal containers located in outside areas that are open to the elements, such as snow and rain. The cover includes a waterproof covering material stretched over a framework that is able to substantially enclose the scrap metal container. The cover has wheels allowing the cover to be moved from its covering position over the scrap metal container. With such a cover, rain and snow, as well as other undesirable debris, are prevented from collecting in the bottoms of these types of containers.

    摘要: A portable carport having a frame, a flexible fabric cover, and mechanisms for attaching the frame to the outsides of the wheels of an automobile. Because the frame is secured to the outsides of the wheels rather than beneath the wheels, the frame can be easily attached to the automobile after the automobile is parked. The frame is adjustable for height, width, and length, and can be adapted to cover as much of the car as desired. The wheel attachment mechanisms are also adjustable to fit any size tire. Because of the adjustable features of the invention, it can be used to protect larger vehicles such as trucks, bolts, and mobile homes.

    摘要: A canopy structure includes a support frame with a plurality of extensible and retractable canopy support sections. Each of the canopy support sections includes a pair of upper transverse support members and two pairs of side support members. Each pair of side support members have lower portions which are pivotally secured to each other and upper portions which are rigidly secured to ends of the upper transverse support members whereby in a retracted position the side support members extend substantially vertical and in an extended position the side support members extend at an acute angle to each other with the upper portions of the side support members spaced apart. The canopy support frame also includes end frames with upper transverse support members secured to the transverse support members of adjacent canopy support sections and generally vertically extending side support members connected to adjacent side support members of adjacent canopy support sections by means for retaining the side support members of the end frames and the adjacent support sections in a fixed, spaced relationship when the canopy structure is extended to maintain the canopy structure in an extended mode. A cover, secured to the canopy support sections and end frames, connects the upper transverse support members of adjacent canopy support sections.

    摘要: An attachment mechanism for grasping an object such as an automobile tire. The attachment mechanism includes a number of clamp members pivotally connected to an inner plate. The clamp members fit around and grasp the object, and are adjustable to fit around objects of different sizes. The attachment member may be used, for example, as a locking mechanism for an automobile attachment such as a portable cover. The attachment mechanism locks onto the tires without any support from the ground. The frame for the automobile attachment can then be coupled to the attachment mechanisms, which provide the necessary support for the cover.

    摘要: This invention relates generally to a portable shelter for an automobile which is lightweight and easily assembled. The invention utilizes base plates which are adjustably placed under the wheels of the sheltered vehicle for securely anchoring the shelter structure. Independently adjustable vertical support bars are attached to the base plates and support a canopy. Additionally, cross-braces which are adjustable in height and adjustable in length are positioned at tire height to that the vertical support bars of the structure can be securely braced against the vehicle tires. This provides superior lateral support against meteorological conditions without the need for external stakes or guide wires, and without contacting or damaging the body of the vehicle.
