Claim Text:
1. A multipurpose modular screening device for provision of privacy, separation, and shade, said device comprising: a first panel, said first panel being flexible, said first panel having a vertical edge and an opposing vertical edge, a first sleeve, said first sleeve being coupled to said vertical edge, a second sleeve, said second sleeve being coupled to said opposing vertical edge, a third sleeve, said third sleeve being coupled to said first panel equally distant from said vertical edge and said opposing vertical edge, a first fastener, said first fastener being coupled to said second sleeve, a second panel, said second panel being flexible, said second panel having a vertical border and an opposing vertical border, a first sheath, said first sheath being coupled to said vertical border, a second fastener, said second fastener being coupled to said opposing vertical border, said second fastener being complimentary to said first fastener, a second sheath, said second sheath being coupled to said second panel equally distant from said vertical border and said opposing vertical border, a plurality of framing tubes, each of said plurality of framing tubes having a reduced top end, a bottom end, and an orifice proximate to said bottom end, a plurality of S-hooks, each of said S-hooks having a pair grasping ends, said pair of grasping ends being configured to engage said plurality of framing tubes, a plurality of spike anchors, each of said spike anchors having a housing, a sharp end, an insertable end, a first spring-pin coupled to said housing proximate to said insertable end and a second spring-pin coupled to said housing proximate to said sharp end, said first spring-pin and said second spring-pin being complimentary to said orifice of said framing tube, said spike anchors being configured to engage said bottom end of said of framing tube, a plurality of bases, each of said bases having an upright coupler coupled to a foot, said coupler having an opening, said opening being complimentary to said first spring-pin and said second spring-pin, said coupler being configured to engage said insertable end of said spike anchor, a plurality of connectors, each of said plurality of connectors having a plurality of attachment points, each of said plurality of attachment points being configured to engage said reduced top end of said framing tube; and a plurality of support rods, each of said plurality of support rods comprising a plurality of nested sections, wherein said support rod is telescopic, said support rod having a first end on the innermost nested section and a second end on the outermost nested section, said first end and said second end being configured to engage said attachment points, wherein a first field between said first sleeve and said third sleeve comprises a first wall, a second field between said third sleeve and said second sleeve comprises a second wall, a third field between said first sheath and said second sheath comprises a third wall, and a fourth field between said second sheath and said second fastener comprises a door, wherein said insertable end of said spike anchor can be inserted into said bottom end with said first spring-pin engaging said orifice to lock said spike anchor into said framing tube with said sharp end extending from said bottom and said sharp end of said spike anchor can be inserted into said bottom end with said second spring-pin engaging said orifice to lock said spike anchor into said framing tube with said insertable end extending from said bottom, wherein said plurality of framing tubes can be inserted one each into said first sleeve, said second sleeve, said third sleeve, said first sheath, and said second sheath, wherein structural rigidity can be effected by inserting said insertable ends of said spike anchors into said bottom end of said framing tubes and thrusting said sharp ends into the ground, wherein said spike anchor can couple said base to said framing tube when said spike anchors are not required to secure said first panel and said second panel to the ground, wherein said first panel and said second panel can be coupled using said S-hooks, wherein structural rigidity can also be effected or enhanced by engaging said connectors to said reduced top ends of said framing tubes and engaging said support rods to said attachment points on adjacently configured of said connectors, wherein said door can be closed by engaging said first fastener with said second fastener, and wherein said first panel and said second panel can be reconfigured by inserting said support rods into alternate said attachment points, relocating said spike anchors, placing said support rod into said first sheath or said second sheath, or any combination thereof.
