Abstract

See full text

Portable structures convert into furniture articles, such as chairs, backrests, and tables, when substantially filled with sand and revert to collapsed portable structures for easy transport after a substantial amount of sand has been removed. The portable structures include a cover, made from a flexible and deformable material, and a frame that includes one or more flexible frame members disposed on or incorporated within the cover. The flexible frame members have spring-like characteristics such that a portable structure, without substantial sand therein, can be collapsed for storage and/or transport, and when ready for use, automatically converted to an “uncollapsed pop-up” state adapted to receive sand filling to form the furniture article.
