Abstract:
A frameless outdoor shelter system; the frameless outdoor shelter system may be suspended from an overhead structure by a single suspension member. The frameless outdoor shelter system includes a flexible four-sided sheet having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral edge having corners, such flexible four-sided sheet adapted to form a protective shelter by concurrent tensioning of selected portions of such top surface and the peripheral edge of the sheet. The system may be configured to form a wearable poncho.

Claim (Index 17):
A frameless outdoor shelter system, the frameless outdoor shelter system comprising:\n a flexible four-sided sheet having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral edge having corners, said flexible four-sided sheet adapted to form a protective shelter by concurrent tensioning of said top surface and said peripheral edge; a plurality of ground-tetherable cords, each one adapted to be removably tetherable to a ground surface by at least one ground-engageable stake; a plurality of peripheral cord connectors adapted to couple at least one of said plurality of ground-tetherable cords to said peripheral edge, said plurality of peripheral cord connectors including\n a first peripheral cord-connector coupled to a first corner of said peripheral edge, \n a second peripheral cord-connector coupled to a second corner of said peripheral edge, \n a third peripheral cord-connector coupled to a third corner of said peripheral edge, \n a fourth peripheral cord-connector coupled to a fourth corner of said peripheral edge, \n a fifth peripheral cord-connector coupled to said peripheral edge at a point intermediate of said first corner and said second corner, \n a sixth peripheral cord-connector coupled to said peripheral edge at a point intermediate of said second corner and said third corner, and \n a seventh peripheral cord-connector coupled to said peripheral edge at a point intermediate of said first corner and said fourth corner; \n a single top suspension cord adapted to be removably-coupleable to a fixed overhead structure; a suspension-cord connector adapted to couple said single top suspension cord to said top surface at a point on said top surface internal of said peripheral edge; a throw weight adapted to assist a user in deploying said single top suspension cord over the fixed overhead structure; and at least one storage sleeve configured to store said frameless outdoor shelter system in a compact stowed configuration; wherein formation of said protective shelter from said flexible four-sided sheet is achieved by such concurrent tensioning of said top surface by said single top suspension cord and said peripheral edge by said plurality of ground-tetherable cords; wherein said throw weight includes a cord-to-weight coupler adapted to removably couple said throw weight to said top suspension cord; wherein said fifth peripheral cord-connector is coupled to said peripheral edge at a point equidistant from said first corner and said second corner; wherein said sixth peripheral cord-connector is coupled to said peripheral edge at a point equidistant from said second corner and said third corner; wherein said seventh peripheral cord-connector is coupled to said peripheral edge at a point equidistant from said first corner and said fourth corner; wherein said suspension-cord connector is joined to said top surface at a point equidistant from said third corner and said fourth corner; wherein the plurality of peripheral cord connectors each consist of a loop flexible woven webbing permanently joined with said peripheral edge; wherein said flexible four-sided sheet has a width and a length of at least about seven feet; and wherein said flexible four-sided sheet is constructed substantially from at least one waterproof fabric.
