Abstract:
A free-standing portable tent assembly for providing a shielded environment for operating electronic equipment, said assembly comprising:a) collapsible flexible enclosure means and rigid frame assembly support means for maintaining said collapsible flexible enclosure means in an upright position to define an enclosed operations area sufficient to contain said equipment for effecting electronic operations;b) said flexible enclosure means including a top ceiling portion, a bottom floor portion, and a side wall portion fixedly connected along a top edge to the top ceiling portion, and fixedly connected along a bottom edge to the bottom floor portion;c) said flexible enclosure means is composed of flexible sheet material having structural characteristic means that precludes transmission of electronic signals therethrough to provide electronic shielding for equipment within the enclosed operations area;d) said side wall portion being composed of flexible material and including an electronic signal-secure ingress and egress opening means for moving said electronic equipment into and out of said enclosed operations area within the flexible enclosure means when the flexible enclosure means is in said upright position;e) the side wall portion including an electronic signal-secure door member composed of flexible material and pivotally movable along one side thereof between a closed position and an open position and door frame structure means for providing stability along an edge portion of the opening means to support the door member in a closed position with respect to the opening means, andf) said door frame structure means including electronic signal-securing means to prevent electronic signal transmission into or out of the flexible enclosure means along an outer edge of the door member and the adjacent edge portion of the opening means when the door member is in a closed position with respect to the opening means,g) the electronic signal-securing means including conductive, separable hook and loop fastener means disposed along said outer edge of the door member and said edge portion of the opening means to produce an electronic signal-secure opening means when the door member is in a closed position.
