Patent ID: 11345270

Abstract:
A transportable fold-out at least partial enclosure includes in one aspect of the invention a stationary platform having a major surface defining a stationary plane, a plurality of side edges, a front edge and a back edge. A primary platform has a major surface defining a primary plane, an inside edge, an outside edge, a front edge, a back edge, the inside edge being joined to the stationary platform, the primary platform having a folded position in which the primary plane and stationary plane are oblique or orthogonal, and the primary platform having an extended position where the primary platform is unfolded from the stationary platform. An end wall assembly has at least two segments, each segment having a major surface defining a segment plane, side edges, a top edge and a bottom edge, the side edges of the segments being joined to each other, the bottom edges of each segment being joined to one of the stationary platform and the primary platform. The end wall assembly has an extended position in which the segment planes are at an angle to form a wall to both the stationary plane and the primary plane, and the end wall assembly having a folded position. At least one actuating mechanism is joined to at least one of the segments and the stationary platform or the primary platform to which said at least one of the segments is joined, said at least one actuating mechanism configured to provide a force to urge said at least one of the segments to the extended position.
