In terms of materials in which the arrangement may be made, any suitable rigid, plastic material can be employed to construct the frame members, i.e. polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, HIPS, or in the case of metals, aluminum may be employed. In the case where metals are employed, it may be desirable to coat the metal with a synthetic material in order to reduce corrosion and add aesthetic value to the arrangement.
As a further alternative, the frame may be composed of telescopic units to adjust the height of the shelter with suitable thumb screws to affix the length of the telescopic members to a desired height. Further, the frame may simply consist of several connected frame members which facilitate collapsibility and easy storage of the arrangement when not in use.
In terms of the flexible material, it is desirable to have a waterproof material which additionally facilitates visibility. This may be in the form of clear plastic sections on the flexible material at suitable locations or alternatively, the entire shelter material may be composed of a transparent material. Any of the suitable polymeric materials know to achieve the function of impermeability and visibility may be employed.
Shelter material would typically consist of a front panel, top panel and two side panels suitably connected together either by stitching, fusion or other suitable means and as an alternative, there may be a further fourth panel having a zipper to allow entry for the user which would then be sealed to fully surround the user positioned within the shelter. Any suitable fastening means apart from the zipper could be readily employed as would be appreciated.
Having thus generally described the invention, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings illustrating preferred embodiments and, in which:
Figure 1 is an overall perspective view of the shelter according to one embodiment of the present invention as positioned on a snowblower;
Figure 2 is a partially cut away view illustrating one of the components of the frame as positioned on the handlebars of a snowblower;
Figure 3 is an exploded view of the frame assembly;
Figure 4 is a sectional view along line 4-4 of Figure 3;
Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of an alternate arrangement of a clamping system for use with the present invention;
Figure 6 is a further alternate embodiment of the clamping system;
Figure 7 is an alternate embodiment of the overall shelter; and Figure 8 is a further embodiment of the present invention.
Similar numerals in the Figures denote similar elements.
Referring now to Figure 1, shown in perspective view is one embodiment according to the present invention. The shelter, broadly denoted by numeral 10, is shown mounted to the handlebars of a conventional snowblower, broadly denoted by numeral 12.
Referring now to Figures 2, 3 and 4, greater detail is illustrated with respect to the elements of the shelter 10.
Figure 2 illustrates one frame element 14 which functions as a mounting frame for the shelter frame. The element 14 subscribes to a general C-shape having a pair of arms 16 and 18 and a cross member 20 connecting the same. Each of the arms, according to this embodiment, includes a recess 22 shown in greater detail in Figure 4, which is formed directly into the arms 16 and 18. For mounting, cross member 20 abuts cross member 24 of the handlebar assembly 26. Clamps 28 releasably fasten C-shape frame member 14 to the handlebar assembly 26 as shown.
Frame member 14 is the primary mounting frame member and recesses 22 are configured such that they each cradle a respective secondary frame member forming part of an upper frame structure or assembly; these are C-shaped frame members 30 and 32. These members are adapted for disposition as indicated and comprise hollow open tubing with open ends 34,36 and 38,40, respectively. Ends 34,36 and 38,40 each respectively receive elongate frame members 42,44 and 46,48, respectively. Each of the elongate members includes reduced diameter opposed ends 50 and 52, 54,56, 58,60 and 62,64, respectively. Ends 50, 54 of members 42 and 44 each are adapted to frictionally and releasably be engaged within openings 34 and 36 of member 30. Similarly, members 46 and 48 have similar sections 58 and 62 for insertion into openings 38 and 40 of member 32.
The overall frame is stabilized by the provision of two further C-shaped frame members 66 and 68, each of the members 66 and 68 substantially corresponding to shape and size of members 30 and 32. Member 66 includes open ends 70 and 72, member 68 having open ends 74 and 76.
The most ideal positioning for members 66 and 68 is a crossed position as shown in the exploded Figure 3 with ends 70 and 72 of member 66 receiving for releasable frictional engagement end portions 52 and 64, respectively of members 42 and 48 and similarly, ends 74 and 76 of member 68 receiving portions 56 and 60 of members 44 and 46, respectively. In this manner, the frame is interconnected. To add further stability to the overall assembly, a fastener 78 may affix the intersection of members 66 and 68. Apertures 80 and 82 on members 66 and 68 register in alignment to receive fastener 78.
Clamps 84 and 86 may be incorporated to urge frame members 30 and 32 (30 is only shown in a section of Figure 4) into recess 22 so that slipping is not a concern. In order to further augment the frictional relationship, the interior of the recess 22 may include suitable non-slip material (not shown~ such as rubber or further, the surface of frame members 30 and 32 may be textured with similar texturing in the recess 22 in order to prevent any unwanted rotation or movement of the overall assembly.
Figure 5 illustrates a further embodiment of a clamping arrangement suitable for use in the present invention.
A cross section of handlebar 26 is illustrated with an alternate embodiment for frame members 30 and 32. In this embodiment, the frame member 30 may simply subscribe to a C-shaped member adapted to rest on the top of the handlebar directly as illustrated. A suitable clamp could be incorporated such as straight metal segments depending from member 30, the segments being denoted by numerals 88 and 90 and each of these members threaded to receive a tightening screw 92.
Figure 6 illustrates yet another embodiment wherein C-shaped frame member 14 may include apertures 94,96 within the recess 22, which apertures cooperate with a springed ball arrangement 98 associated with each frame member 30 and 32, frame member 30 only being illustrated in Figure 6. This would provide effective locking means to prevent rotation of member 30 within recess 22 and additionally provides quick release when the user wishes to disengage the arrangement from the blower 12.
Turning to Figure 7, shown is a further embodiment of the present invention wherein the frame members are simply formed by incorporating frame members 30 and 32 as discussed herein previously with elongate members 98 and 100 and further connected C-shaped members 102 and 104. Interconnection between members 30, 98, 102 and 32, 100 and 104 will be readily understood by the description with respect to Figure 3.
Extending between members 102 and 104, there may be a cross member 106 including clamps 108 and 110 at each end for releasible connection to a respective member 102,104.
Similarly, a cross member 112 extend between members 98 and 100 with similar close clamps 114,116. The shelter includes flexible material composed of side panels 118 and 120, front panel 122 and top panel 124, all suitably connected together by stitching, fusion or other means. The material may be connected to the frame structure by velcro loops 126 to allow for easy disengagement from the frame members to thus facilitate easy collapsibility and disengagement for storage purposes. As a further alternative, a further panel 128 may optionally be included to fully surround a user (not shown) within the shelter. The panel 128 may be connected to any one of panels 118, 120 or 124 and further, may include fastening means 130 in order to join the panel 128 to, for example, as shown in the drawing, the free edge of panel 118.
lo Typically, the flexible material may comprise any suitable polymeric substance such as polyethylene, polypropylene and may include a clear panel 130 positioned in panel 122 in order to provide the user with visibility or the material may simply comprise a clear, transparent material to facilitate vision over the whole structure.
Turning to Figure 8, shown is yet another embodiment of the present invention where the overall shelter 10 is shown connected to a conventional walker structure, broadly denoted by numeral 132.
It will be appreciated that the shelter 10 may be connected to additional apparatus such as a lawn mower, earth tiller, etc., to provide shelter from precipitation or the sun's rays. To this end, the shelter material may include suitable UV blocking material to reduce exposure of the user (not shown) to the elements.
Although embodiments of the invention have been described above, it is not limited thereto and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that numerous modifications form part of the present invention insofar as they do not depart from the spirit, nature and scope of the claimed and described invention.
