Embodiment Construction

[0032]Referring to the drawings and particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2, one form of the windbreak structure of the present invention is there shown and generally designated by the numeral 14. The windbreak structure 14, which is specially designed for outdoor use to protect the user from the wind, here comprises a first side 16 that comprises a plurality of hingedly interconnected uniquely shaped first panels 18, 20 and 22. As indicated in FIG. 1, windbreak structure 14 also comprises a second side 24, which is hingedly connected to first side 16 by a hinge assembly 26 (FIG. 3), and is movable between a first collapsed position and a second operable position. More particularly, second side 24 is pivotally movable between a first position proximate first side 16 and a second position wherein the second side extends from the first side at an acute angle of between about 20 degrees and about 40 degrees. First panel 18 is in the shape of a four-sided polygon, or quadrangle, while panels 20 a...
