Collapsible masking device 10 can have left socle and right support 24a, 24b, and this left socle and right support can mutually the same or mirror images of each other structures.For simple purpose, the discussion of support 24a, 24b will concentrate on the left socle 24a.Yet, should be appreciated that right support 24b can be identical or the mirror image of left socle 24a structure.

Left socle 24a (see figure 6) can by common rigidity and material light weight (such as, plastics, metal, carbon fiber, composite material or the like) make.Left socle 24a can have through hole 26 (see figure 6)s, and this through hole is closely admitted distal portions 28 (see figure 1)s of the left leg 14a of the first frame support member 12a.Distal portions 28 can be fixed to the through hole 26 of support 24 regularly through adhesive, pin 25 or other method of attachment.The leg 14b (see figure 6) of the second frame support member 12b (see figure 1) can be pivotably connected to left socle 24a.Through the mode of example and be not through the restriction mode, the distal portions 28 of the leg 14b of the second frame support member 12b can pivotally be sold side plate 32a, the 32b that is connected to left socle 24a through pin 25.

One or more other frame support member 12c-12n can be pivotably connected to left socle and right support 24a, 24b between the first and second

frame support member

12a, 12b, as shown in fig. 1.In Fig. 1, other supporting member 12c is pivotably connected to left socle and right support 24a, 24b between the first and second frame support member 12a, 12b.The second frame support member 12b and one or more other frame support member 12c-12n can fold or be arranged on the first frame support member 12a, as shown in Figure 3.When erectting masking device 10, the second frame support member 12b can be pivoted to the erection position, and is as shown in fig. 1.In the erection position, the tissue layer 18 that is connected to the top supporting member 16 of

frame support member

12a, 12b, 12c-12n is upwards drawn one or more other frame support member 12.Tissue layer 18 keeps tension between the second frame support member 12b and one or more other frame support member 12c-12n.According to like this, tissue layer 18 is tightened up at the second frame support member 12b with in addition between the frame support member 12c.It is parallel when the second frame support member 24b can pivot with the folding masking device 10 of box lunch with the first frame support member 12a.The second frame support member 12c can rotate 100 degree (100 °) or pass perpendicular in the second frame support member 12b locks onto like the position of discussing here towards the erection position.Also expection, the maximum pivoting angle of the second frame support member 12b can be at about 40 degree (40 °) in 180 degree (180 °).

With reference now to Fig. 6; The leg 14c-14n that the side plate 32a of left socle and

right support

24a, 24b, 32b form leg 14b and one or more the other frame support member 12c-12n of passage 33, the second frame support member 12b can move through this passage at their 12b, 12c-12n when pivoting.When the folding position moved to the erection position, the leg 14b of the second frame support member 12b moved in the passage that is formed by side plate 32a, 32b 33 at the second frame support member 12b.In the ending of the pivot stroke of frame support member 12b, the leg 14b of the second frame support member 12b can be pushed over or cross protruding 34 (seeing Fig. 6 and 6A) and can be by snapped into place.For this purpose, the distance 35 between protruding 34 can be less than the width 37 of the leg 14 of frame support member 12b.Cross protrudingly 34 for the leg 14 that allows the second frame support member 12b, (1) side plate 32a, 32b can slightly outwards deflections, and the leg 14b of (2) second frame support member 12b can curve inwardly slightly, or (3) two actions can take place.The rigidity of the leg 14 of the rigidity of side plate 32a, 32b and the second frame support member 12b can be designed such that the second frame support member 12b remains in the stand up position during use and be locked in the appropriate location by protruding 34.The seat part 20 of tissue layer 18 is being launched to make the user to be present to lie down or have a rest on the part 20 and is being avoided being arranged in dirt or the undesirable pollutant on the ground 36 by protection on the ground 36.The tissue layer 18 that is connected to the top member 16 of the second frame support member 12b and one or more other frame support member 12c-12n can provide to the user covers and protects that the user avoids being harmful to and harsh sunray.Tissue layer 18 can be discussed like second embodiment below with reference to masking device 10a through forming the top member 16 that ring is connected to frame support member 12.
