Floating bug, sun and privacy dome

Abstract

A dome of convex shape, constructed of a plurality of tubular bent members connected at a common point at the top and to a tension ring at the base forming an interior cavity of adequate size to cover an adult floating on a raft or standing in a pool. The exterior is covered in a fabric or mesh weave of sufficiently small opening to prevent the entry of mosquitoes and insects, also providing shade from the sun. This exterior covering also offers privacy from observers located at distance. The fabric is held taut by Velcro, zippers or snaps for easy assembly and disassembly. Floats consisting of cylindrical lightweight rigid foam or inflatable PVC material are installed to support the structure in water. The floats can be removed if benefits from the floating dome are desired on areas other than water.

What I claim as my invention is as follows:  
     
         1 . A floating dome of convex shape constructed of a plurality of tubular bent members connected at a common point at the top and to a tension ring at the base forming an interior cavity of adequate size for an adult person floating on a raft, and of such a height to allow headroom for an adult standing in a shallow pool; said tension ring is composed of a plurality of individual curved members connected with tee type fitting, forming a circle; said members are designed for assembly, and transportable and lightweight as to fit more than one standing adult in a pool or an adult resting on a raft.  
     
     
         2 . A floating dome described in  claim 1  having a mesh covering offering protection from mosquitoes and other flying insects.  
     
     
         3 . A floating dome as described in  claim 2 , with a mesh of sufficiently tight weave, offering privacy and protection from the sun in the form of a sunscreen.  
     
     
         4 . A floating dome as described in  claim 3 , with a open cavity of adequate size and durability as to fit a several children inside, having sufficient novelty as to serve as a pool toy for children to play games.  
     
     
         5 . A dome of convex shape constructed of a plurality of tubular bent members connected at a common point at the top and to a tension ring at the base forming an interior cavity of adequate size so that it can be placed over a person or food resting on the ground, without the need to move or disturb the person or object; serving as protection from mosquitoes, flying insects and small animals; said tension ring is composed of a plurality of individual curved members connected with tee type fitting, forming a circle; said members are designed for assembly, and transportable and lightweight.  
     
     
         6 . A dome as described in  claim 5  serving as a shelter or privacy screen from prying eyes in a park, backyard or other open setting.
