Patent ID: 8267527

Claim:
A portable projection system, comprising: a first vertical member including at least one hinged point for folding the first vertical member into at least two separate portions; a second vertical member including at least one hinged point for folding the second vertical member into at least two separate portions, the second vertical member disposed parallel to the first vertical member and having substantially the same length as the first vertical member; a first horizontal member disposed perpendicular to and pivotally connected with the first and second vertical members including at least one hinged point for folding the upper horizontal member into at least two separate portions; a second horizontal member disposed perpendicularly between and pivotally connected with the first and second vertical member including at least one hinged point for folding the second horizontal member into at least two separate portions and located below the first horizontal member to define a viewing area bounded by the first and second vertical members and the first and second horizontal members; a viewing screen disposed over said viewing area; at least one base member pivotally connected to a base end of each of the first and second vertical members, the at least one base member pivoting between a first position parallel to the first or second vertical member and a second position perpendicular to the first or second vertical member; a projector mounting assembly comprising a first and second mounting members, the first and second mounting members pivotally connected to each other at first ends of the first and second mounting members, the first and second mounting members including at least one hinged point for folding the first and second mounting members into at least two separate portions, the first and second mounting members extending over the first horizontal member such that the first ends of the first and second mounting members are disposed forward of the viewing area a first distance and a second end of the first and second mounting members extending rearward of the viewing area a second distance; a projector mounting assembly mounting bracket associated with each of the first and second mounting members for pivotally connecting the first and second mounting members with the first horizontal member; and a plurality of cables, each cable connecting the second end of one of the first and second mounting members with a base member to maintain the first and second mounting members substantially perpendicular to the viewing area.
