Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a frame with a covering that has a chamber inside. The frame is made up of rods that are interlocked and connected to an actuator. The frame can be opened and closed for easy access. The device can also have temperature monitoring and an electronic signal receiver for controlling the temperature. The technical effects of this invention include a flexible and adjustable storage solution that can be easily controlled and monitored."

Problems solved by technology

However, none of the previous applications for those conditions provide a versatile device to address the various storage needs or environmental conditions.
Another obstacle is the laborious effort necessary to make or deploy the storage device or shelter and difficulty of transporting and handling due to weight or apparatus complexity needed to assemble or both.
Yet another problem is time frames, the protective shield offered by the prior art is not ruggedized and lacks adequate strength or stability leading to loss of integrity allowing undesirable atmospheric conditions to encroach the confining limits of the protective shield.
The encroaching atmospheric conditions threaten the storage device's ability to protect, store and preserve items and provide shelter for humans in the presence of the various storage needs or environmental conditions.

Embodiment Construction

[0047]Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, in which like numerals identify similar parts throughout, it will be seen that there is shown a perspective view of the present invention storage device 5. According to one non-limiting embodiment, device 5 includes a structure 10 (shown on FIG. 2) having at least a portion encompassed by a covering 15 (shown on FIG. 2). Covering 15 may comprise any desirable material including water proof; water resistant, water permeable or impermeable. Preferably covering 15 is waterproof. Covering 15 may encompass part of or all of structure 10. For example, in the embodiment as shown in FIG. 1, all of structure 10 is encompassed defining chamber 20 therein. Chamber 20 varies in size and length to completely encompass the contents to be stored.

[0048]More specifically chamber 20 is defined by a front wall 27, back wall 28, floor 29, left wall 30, right wall 31 and roof 32. Front wall 27 may further include a window 35 mounted into front wall 27. Window 35 may...
