Claim Text:
1. A folding shelter comprising; a back wall having a first face surface, a second face surface, a bottom portion and a top portion; a roof panel pivotally coupled to the top portion of the back wall; a first wing wall pivotally coupled to a first side of the back wall, the first wing wall having a generally quadrangle shape; a second wing wall pivotally coupled to a second side of the back wall opposite the first wing wall and having a generally quadrangle shape; and a lever arm; at least one attachment point on the back wall, the at least one attachment point adapted to receive the lever arm, wherein the lever arm imparts a rotational force to the shelter to rotate the shelter from a generally horizontal orientation into an upstanding orientation when a force is applied to the lever arm, wherein the shelter has a packaged configuration wherein, the roof panel lies substantially parallel with the first face surface of the back wall, the first wing lies substantially parallel with the second face surface of the back wall, and the second wing wall lies substantially parallel with the second face surface of the back wall, wherein the shelter has a deployed configuration wherein the first and second wing walls are generally perpendicular to the back wall and the roof panel is supported directly by the first and second wing walls, and wherein in the deployed configuration, the back wall is supported at an angle alpha (α) relative to a bottom of the wing wall and the angle alpha (α) is greater than about zero degrees and less than or equal to about ninety degrees, and the roof is supported at an angle beta (β) relative to the back wall and the angle beta (β) is greater than about one hundred eighty degrees minus the angle alpha (α) (180°−α) and less than about one hundred eighty degrees.
