Referring to the drawings and initially to Fig. 1, a
temporary structure 10 is depicted. Temporary structure 10 is attachable to a vehicle C, and comprises a roof portion 12 and an attachment portion 14, the attachment portion 14 being adapted to attach to a point on the vehicle C. The
attachment portion is located at a first end 11 of the temporary structure 10.
Roof portion 12 extends from the attachment portion 14 to a second end 13 of the temporary structure 10. The temporary structure 10 once erected provides a simple shelter to the elements, be that precipitation or sunlight.
Temporary structure 10 and roof portion 12 are formed from a flexible material, in this embodiment the material is UV protected, water and rot proof, 10 x 10 per inch square weave and llOgm per metre square weight, but it will be appreciated by the skilled addressee that various materials may be used, for example a simple canvas or a plastics material or
anything which may be deemed suitable for the purpose.
It is especially desirable in this context that the flexible material is water-resistant and preferably entirely water- proof.
Temporary structure 10 and roof portion 12 are a generally trapezoidal shape, with the shorter side of the trapezoid being the attachment portion 14.
Attachment members 16 are attached to attachment portion 14 and extend from the first end 11. The attachment members 16 in the present embodiment comprise simple square tabs 16 of the same flexible material used to construct temporary structure 10. The tabs 16 are approximately 120mm on each side .
It will be appreciated by the skilled addressee that the particular construction, size and material of the attachment members 16 may be modified to suit alternative constructions and so forth.
Apertures 18 are located at both corners of roof portion 12 adjacent second end 13. The apertures 18 enable the
attachment of tensioning members 20 and/or mounting members 22 to the roof portion 12 and temporary structure 10.
Tensioning members 20 comprise guy-ropes 20 of a type that may be usable with traditional tent structures. Pegs 21 enable the guy-ropes 20 to be anchored into the ground in a known fashion, again similarly as with traditional tent structures. The guy-ropes 20 are adjustable in length to accommodate variations in the locations that the temporary structure 10 may be deployed.
Mounting members 22 comprise poles 22, again being of a type that may be usable with traditional tent structures. The poles 22 are collapsible multi-section poles 22, which when not in use may be broken down into their component sections to enable easier storage. Elongate rods 24 extend from one end of the poles 22 to enable engagement with aperture 18 and guy-ropes 20.
To erect temporary structure 10 it is laid upon the roof R of car C with the attachment portion 14 being located adjacent the passenger-side doors D. Tabs 16 should hang down
adjacent the doors D.
Doors D are opened such that tabs 16 are located adjacent the upper portion of door seals DS, see Fig. 3.
Doors D are then closed, trapping tabs 16 between doors D and door seals DS .
Roof portion 12 extends over roof R and outwardly from the driver's side of car C. Poles 22 are placed onto the ground G at appropriate points from the driver's side of car C.
Apertures 18 are mounted onto the poles 22 via the rods 24.
Guy-ropes 20 are then attached, pulled taught to tension the temporary structure 10, and then secured to ground G using pegs 21. This process may be simply reversed to dismantle the temporary structure 10.
The temporary structure 10 may be deployed on the opposite side i.e. tabs 16 trapped on the driver's side of car C and extending beyond passenger's side of car C.
The various components of temporary structure 10 may be provided in a kit of parts for stowage in car C.
A second embodiment of the present invention is depicted in Fig. 8, namely a temporary structure 110. The second embodiment is broadly similar to the first embodiment, and similar features share the same numbering scheme as used for the first embodiment, albeit prefixed with a '1' .
The major difference, is the inclusion of two further apertures 119 located along the sides of the temporary structure, approximately midway between the first and second ends. These additional apertures 119 allow additional guy- ropes 120 and pegs to be attached to provide extra tension and improve water run-off from the roof of the structure.
Modifications and improvements may be incorporated into the present invention and embodiments hereinbefore described without departing from the scope of the invention.
The temporary structure may be formed from other materials than those described, such as simple canvas, plastics, leather, silk, etc.
The purpose of the temporary structure may be modified to that of a simple sun-shade in environments where precipitation is not as widespread.
The temporary structure is not limited to use with a car, but may be deployed with other vehicles, such as pick-ups, SUVs, 4x4s, etc.
The temporary structure need not be a trapezoidal shape;
other suitable shapes may be employed. Further, different sizes may be employed as opposed to those listed, for
different sizes of vehicle and/or desired structure size.
Further, different sizes of pole or mounting member may be employed for different vehicle heights or desired height of structure .
It is envisaged possible that the temporary structure may include side-walls to more fully enclose the space under the roof portion. Such side-walls may be formed integrally with the roof portion, or may be selectively attachable/detachable using suitable attachment methods, such as zips, snap- fasteners, VELCRO® fastenings, etc.
