Abstract:
1. An apparatus transformable between at least an erect, assembled configuration and an open, flattened configuration, comprising: a base foldably connected and unitary with a pair of wall ends and a pair of wall sides, each of said wall ends having a distal edge, a proximate edge, and an upper edge between said distal and said proximate edges, a first of said pair of wall sides being unitary with a top portion that extends from said base along said distal edges of said pair of wall ends and completely around said upper edges and said proximate edges of said pair of wall ends in said erect, assembled configuration, a first of said pair of wall ends releasably attached to said first of said pair of wall sides and said unitary top portion by a first zipper such that said first zipper releasably secures (i) said first of said pair of wall sides to said distal edge of said first wall end and (ii) said top portion to said upper edge and said proximate edge of said first wall end, in said erect, assembled configuration, a second of said pair of wall ends releasably attached to said first of said pair of wall sides and said unitary top portion by a second zipper such that said second zipper releasably secures (i) said first of said pair of wall sides to said distal edge of said second wall end and (ii) said top portion to said upper edge and said proximate edge of said second wall end, in said erect, assembled configuration, each adjacent pair of said wall ends and said wall sides being flexibly connected together by and unitary with a webbing that is inwardly biased to fold toward an interior of said apparatus in response to said apparatus being converted from said open, flattened configuration toward said erect, assembled configuration, wherein a length of said upper edge of said first wall end plus a length of said proximate edge of said first wall end, a length of said upper edge of said second wall end plus a length of said proximate edge of said second wall end, and a length of said top portion are substantially equal.
