Foldable covering device

Abstract

Disclosed is a tower system for a transportation device, the tower system including a tower including a first tower leg, a second tower leg, and a center tower section connecting said first tower leg and said second tower leg; and a frame configurable with a cover, said frame including at least one mount for affixing said frame to said center tower section at at least one affixing point on said tower section, wherein said at least one affixing point is disposed at an interior of said. area of said center tower section, away from said first tower leg and said second tower leg.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A tower system for a transportation device, the tower system comprising:
 a tower including a first tower leg, a second tower leg, and a center tower section connecting said first tower leg and said second tower leg; and   a frame configurable with a cover, said frame including at least one mount for affixing said frame to said center tower section at at least one affixing point on said tower section,   wherein said at least one affixing point is disposed at an interior of said area of said center tower section, away from said first tower leg and said second tower leg.   
     
     
         2 . The tower of  claim 1 , wherein said first tower leg and said second tower leg are attached to said center tower section at first ends, and attached to the transportation device at opposing ends. 
     
     
         3 . The tower of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one mount is two mounts associated with frame beams that delimit a center portion of said frame. 
     
     
         4 . The tower of  claim 3 , wherein said frame includes wing portions disposed at laterally opposed sides of said center portion and rotatably affixed thereto, said wing portions being foldable onto said center portion when the frame is in a closed position. 
     
     
         5 . The tower of  claim 4 , wherein said wing portions extend laterally beyond perimetric extents of said tower at both a first tower leg side and a second tower leg side. 
     
     
         6 . The tower of  claim 3 , wherein a furthest point of said center portion from the tower is projected at least 50 inches from the tower. 
     
     
         7 . The tower of  claim 3 , wherein said frame beams each include a truss configured to further affix to said two mounts. 
     
     
         8 . A foldable covering device configurable to be attached to a tower for a transportation device, the tower including a first tower leg side and a second tower leg side, the foldable covering device comprising:
 a center frame including wing portions disposed at laterally opposed sides of said center frame and rotatably affixed thereto,   wherein said wing portions extend laterally beyond extents of the tower at both the first tower leg side and the second tower leg side in an open position.   
     
     
         9 . The foldable covering device of  claim 8 , said wing portions being foldable onto said center frame when said foldable covering device is in a closed position. 
     
     
         10 . The foldable covering device of  claim 8 , wherein a furthest point of said center frame from the tower is projected at least 50 inches from the tower. 
     
     
         11 . The foldable covering device of  claim 8 , wherein said wing portions include a support leg configured to be associable with the tower. 
     
     
         12 . The foldable covering device of  claim 8 , wherein said foldable covering device is configurable with a cover. 
     
     
         13 . A tower system for a transportation device, the tower system comprising:
 a tower; and   a frame including at least one mount configured to rotatably mount said frame to said tower, about a rotation point.   
     
     
         15 . The tower system of  claim 13 , wherein said at least one mount is further configured to rotatably mounting said frame to a center tower section of said tower, wherein said center tower section is an axis of frame rotation. 
     
     
         16 . The tower system of  claim 13 , wherein said tower is rotatable about a tower rotation point and said frame is rotatable in a frame rotation direction opposite a tower rotation direction. 
     
     
         17 . The tower system of  claim 16 , wherein said tower is selectively retained to the transportation device to prevent rotation about said tower rotation point. 
     
     
         18 . The tower system of  claim 13 , wherein a retainer is coupled to said mount to prevent rotation about said rotation point. 
     
     
         19 . The tower system of  claim 13 , wherein said frame is removably affixed to said tower at said rotation point. 
     
     
         20 . The tower system of  claim 19 , wherein a rotation pin is coupled to said mount to prevent removal of said frame. 
     
     
         21 . The tower system of  claim 20 , wherein a retainer is coupled to said mount to prevent removal of said frame. 
     
     
         22 . The tower system of  claim 13 , said frame configurable with a cover. 
     
     
         23 . The tower system of  claim 13 , wherein a furthest point of said frame from the tower is projected at least 50 inches from the tower.
