AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a storage shelter that can adjust its length by using a support structure with extendable frames. The support structure consists of multiple support frames that are connected to each other using a scissor mechanism. The vertical members of the support frames have casters with roller bushings at the bottom, and the base of the shelter has rails and cross bars for attaching the support frames. The support structure also includes transitional members that can move the shell between an open and closed position. The technical effects of this invention include an adjustable length for the storage shelter and improved stability and flexibility for the support structure."

Problems solved by technology

They are not usually easily moved once assembled.
They cannot be adjusted in size to accommodate their surroundings and contents to be stored.
This storage method does not necessarily prevent water leaking into the cover.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Referring now to FIG. 1-6 of the drawings the storage shelter having according to the present invention is shown generally by reference numeral 10. The storage shelter 10 has a base 12, a support structure 14 attachable to said base, and a shell 16 being removably attachable to said support structure 14. In FIG. 2, the shell is shown partially cut away to reveal the support structure 14 inside.

[0023]As best seen in FIG. 6, the base 12 comprises a first 18 and a second rail 20, and a first cross bar 22 removably attached between said first and second rails and a second cross bar 24 removably attached between said first and second rails. A brace 25 is removably attached between the first 18 and second 20 rails. Each of the rails 18 and 20 have attachment points for connection to the cross bars. If the storage shelter is to be used as a stand alone portable shelter, the cross bars 22,24 and the brace 25 remain connected to the rails 18, 20 to maximize the overall stability of the...

Abstract

A portable storage shelter storing, small vehicles and other items has a base, a support structure, and a shell. The base has a first and a second rail, and a first and second cross bar removably attached between said first and second rails. The support structure comprises a plurality of vertical members slidably received within the rails. The vertical members are each contiguous with shell support means and a second one of said vertical members thereby forming a plurality of substantially U-shaped vertical support members. A means is provided for extendably securing each of the U-shaped support members to one another. Means are provided for attaching the shell to the support structure. U-shaped transitional members are slidably, pivotally attachable to the two rails of the base, thereby permitting the pivotal movement of the shell between an open vertically oriented position and a closed horizontal position.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to a portable storage shelter for containing, storing or protecting motorcycles and ATV's, small vehicles and other items such as garden equipment, bicycles, lawn mowers, garden furniture, and wood piles.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There is a need for portable storage shelters which can be used to store motorcycles and ATV's, small vehicles and other items such as garden equipment, bicycles, lawn mowers, garden furniture, and wood piles. Conventional storage sheds are usually rigid structures that are built or assembled on site on permanent basis. They are not usually easily moved once assembled. They cannot be adjusted in size to accommodate their surroundings and contents to be stored. They typically have a door which allows access limited to one side of the shed. Alternatively items can be stored outside and wrapped with a cover such as a tarp or plastic sheet. This storage method does not necessarily preven...
