Folding canopy beach tent
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' 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'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.
1. A folding canopy beach tent comprising:
an extended base ground cover;
a folding canopy top structure being permanently affixed to approximately half of a length of the extended base ground cover;
said folding canopy top structure comprising:
a folding frame structure having a plurality of U-shaped rod members, each said rod member having a top rod having two ends, and two side rods each having an upper end and a lower end, said two ends of said top rod being pivotally connected to said upper ends of said two side rods by pivoting corner joints, each said pivoting corner joint including a single joint and a part two joint being pivotally connected by a dowel to allow said side rods being pivoted relative to the top rod in inward and outward directions; said lower ends of said side rods each having a single joint being pivotally connected together by a base joint to allow the two side rods of the folding frame structure being pivoted in forward and backward directions; said base joint of the folding frame structure being affixed to approximately half the length of the extended base ground cover;
a flexible cover covering said folding frame structure to form the folding canopy top structure when the tent is erected, the flexible cover comprises top and back panels made of an opaque plastic material covering the top rods of the frame structure and secured to a back end of the extended base ground cover; side panels made of a flaccid mesh material covering both side rods of the folding frame structure and secured to two sides of the extended base ground cover; and an additional section of flaccid mesh material to create a front and side corner enclosure of the canopy top structure; wherein said folding canopy top structure is trihedral sided with a cornice top, a closed back side, and an opened and closed front side; and
wherein, the extended base ground cover provides a rectangular in shape surface to allow to sit on in an upright position or lay on in a horizontal position for partial sun expose with the foldable canopy top structure in an open and erected position at the approximately half the length of the extending base ground cover, or optional full sun exposure when the folding canopy top structure is folded backward in open position;
wherein the canopy beach tent is securable to a surface, ground or beach, by stakes to resist the wind moving it; and
wherein the folding canopy top structure is foldable inward and backward in a parallel flattened position, with a front portion of the extended base ground cover wrapping around the folded structure into a stored position.
2. The folding canopy beach tent according to claim 1 , wherein said folding canopy top structure is permanently affixed to approximately half the length of the extended base ground cover, with said approximate half of the extended base ground cover sewn to the side and back panels of the folding canopy top structure provides an area to sit or lay for partial sun exposure when the folding canopy top structure is in the open position.
