Abstract:
A folding canopy beach tent comprised of lightweight rod structure frame with connecting joints. This structure opens and closes. To closing structure folds down and the rods fold inward making the structure compact. The umbrella and flaccid mesh like material cover the frame structure. The material serves as a protection against sunrays and weather elements. The front flaccid mesh serves as enclosure for the structure. The side flaccid mesh allows airflow, and visibility of surroundings. The dimensions of the folding canopy beach tent provides&#39; enough room to place a child, and other items. Stakes are used to secure the structure to the surface, therefore reducing the likelihood of the wind moving it. The stakes also secure the mesh enclosure when lowered to the ground. The structure&#39;s umbrella like material base can be directly sat or laid on. The folded canopy beach tent is carried in a carry tote with strap.

     BACKGROUND 
     1. Field of Invention 
     This invention is related to folding tents and canopies with attached material to lay a beach towel, material or other items on, as well as a carry tote with arm strap to carry the collapsed, folded, and wrapped invention. Specifically to be used on beaches to reduce sun exposure and weather elements while offering material to sit or lay on, as well as an enclosure option it give an appearance of security to its contents. This invention allows a stake like object to pass through a base loop secured to the base of the invention and push into the beach or ground surface. Therefore, the stake secures the invention to the beach or ground surface doing so reduces the likelihood of the invention being moved or blown away by the wind. 
     2. Prior Art 
     Standard umbrellas are heavier and long. This makes them more difficult to handle or carry on or off the beach. It can be difficult to stake the umbrella in the sand without it falling down or blowing away. High winds can pull the umbrella out of the sand therefore potentially hitting, damaging, or harming somebody. Standard umbrellas, which are on a pole in the air, do not prevent or reduce sand or other elements from hitting the person lying or sitting under it. Also, on windy days unless weighted down papers will blow or fly away while under a standard umbrella. 
     Standard canopy tents have small openings. This makes it difficult to place infants or young children in carrying seats through. It is difficult for the baby or toddler to get their diaper or clothes changed or fed through a small opening. Also, the small tent canopies are not secured to the sand therefore can be blown over. As the small tent canopy is completely enclosed there is a reduced amount of airflow through or in the canopy. Although shading the content it may become very warm inside the small tent canopy. 
     SUMMARY 
     In accordance, a folding canopy beach tent reduces exposure to sunrays and natural weather elements while providing practical and convenient use of the base (ground cover) material and mesh enclosure. The security of the folding canopy beach tent is set in place by the attached base loops and removable stakes. The folding canopy beach tent is compact when collapsed, folded, and wrapped. Being lightweight makes it convenient and easy to carry with the strap of the carry tote. The draw cord allows the carry tote to remain open or be securely closed. The folding canopy beach tent functions similar to a regular umbrella, tent, and beach towel. It shades or reduces the sunrays on the individuals or items under it. The base (ground cover) material can be used to lay or sit on. The mesh front and sides serve as wind resistance and indirect security of items under it. Meaning, it does not keep people from removing items from beneath the folding canopy beach tent however it makes it more noticeable when somebody other than the owner is trying to remove items from within or under it.

     ADVANTAGES 
     The folding canopy beach tent eliminates the need to carry an umbrella when a person carries an umbrella primary to shade their face or shade a baby, toddler, or small child. The folding canopy beach tent eliminates the need to carry a beach towel as it has a material base. When a person is lying under the folding canopy beach tent they are able to see through both sides and the front. The mesh creates a wind resistance enabling items to remain under the folding canopy beach tent without the wind blowing them away. The mesh reduces the sand or particles being blown in the face of the person lying under the folding canopy beach tent. 
     When items are placed under the folding canopy beach tent and the front mesh is rolled down and attached to the sides it provides a more visual security of property. Meaning, a person would have to actually open the sides of the folding canopy beach tent to have access to the items located under the folding canopy beach tent. The folding canopy beach tent enables parents or guardians easier access to the baby, toddler, or small child to change their diaper, clothes, feed, or attend to their needs. As the folding canopy beach tent is secured by stakes inserted through base loops to the sand or ground reduces the likelihood of it moving or blowing away during high winds. 
     The folding beach canopy tent purpose is for convenience when going to the beach and other outside events or activities. As it is a two in one it reduces the need take a large umbrella and ground cover. The folding canopy beach tent is lightweight, folds, and is carried in a carry tote that can be opened or securely closed through the use of the draw cord and cord lock. The tote has an arm strap freeing the hands to carry or hold other items. The folding canopy beach tent reduces the sunrays, sand, or wind on the person lying under it. 
     The folding canopy beach tent creates easier accessibility to the baby, toddler, or small child lying under it. Folding the front mesh down and attaching it to the side mesh reduces the sun rays, sand, and wind on the child, yet enables the child to be easily visibly seen, and is easily assessable to. The raised canopy beach tent allows a baby&#39;s carrying seat to fit under the opened folding canopy beach tent. Also, the raised canopy beach tent allows a person to slightly sit up, lean up, or sit in a low to the ground beach like chair to read or write without the wind blowing the papers away. 
     CONCLUSION, RAMIFICATIONS, AND SCOPE 
     Accordingly, the reader will see that the folding canopy beach tent serves as a shade, reduction of direct sunrays, while the mesh serves as a wind resistant and reduces elements such as but not limited to sand while under folding canopy beach tent. The wider front gives easier accessibility to a baby, toddler, small child, or items lying under the folding canopy beach tent. When the front mesh is lowered and attached to the side mesh it secures the items from blowing away or being easily picked up by others. Furthermore, the folding canopy beach tent has the additional advantages in that
         it can be used by all ages; infants, teenagers, adults, and seniors.   it is compact and lightweight to carry.   it permits the production in a variety of colors without requiring the manufacturer to use a separate facility for materials.   it permits the production in a variety of sizes without requiring the manufacturer to use a separate facility to produce invention.   it permits the production in a variety of shapes without the requiring the manufacturer to use a separate facility to produce invention.   it is convenient as it does not require accessibility (excluding placing stakes in sand or ground to secure it).   It helps to protect the skin from harmful sunrays and weather elements.   it makes easier accessibility to fed or change a baby, toddler, or small child.   its mesh serves a wind resistant so papers or objects do not easily blow way.   its secured in the sand or ground so it will not blow away in high winds.   it can serve as a two in one-umbrella and laying on base (ground cover) material (if a beach towel is not had) or a beach towel can be laid on the base (ground cover) material.   the folding canopy beach tent base (ground cover) material can be used like a beach towel with or without the canopy open.   it enables an individual not to have to sit directly on the surface since a low to the ground beach like chair or other sitting or laying embodiment can fit or be placed under the folding canopy beach tent.
