Integrated portable shelter

Abstract

An integrated, portable shelter including a frame and at least two supports hingedly connected to the frame. The supports being movable between a storage position and a support position, where in the support position, the frame is positioned above an underlying support surface. The shelter also includes a bottom wall supported by the frame, a peripheral wall structure connected to the frame, where the peripheral wall structure includes a front wall, a rear wall and at least two sidewalls and the front wall defines an opening, and a top wall connected to the peripheral wall structure. The peripheral wall structure and the top wall define an interior space. The shelter further includes a front panel hingedly connected to the front wall. The front panel is movable between an open position away from the front wall and a closed position adjacent to the front wall.

         6 . The shelter of  claim 3 , further comprising a manual pump positioned in said interior space and secured to said frame, wherein said pump allows a user to transfer water from said at least one water storage tank to said interior space for use. 
     
     
         7 . The shelter of  claim 1 , further comprising a photovoltaic panel secured to said at least one front panel, wherein said photovoltaic panel receives solar energy. 
     
     
         8 . The shelter of  claim 7 , further comprising a battery removably secured to said frame, said battery storing the solar energy received by said at least one photovoltaic panel. 
     
     
         9 . The shelter of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of photovoltaic panels secured to said at least one front panel, wherein each of said photovoltaic panels receives solar energy. 
     
     
         10 . The shelter of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one ventilation panel mounted to a lower portion and an upper portion of said peripheral wall structure to provide cross-ventilation for said interior space. 
     
     
         11 . An integrated, portable shelter, comprising:
 a frame including a plurality of supports, said supports position said frame above an underlying support surface;   a peripheral wall structure connected to said frame, said peripheral wall structure defining at least one opening;   a roof connected to said peripheral wall structure, wherein said peripheral wall structure and said roof define an interior space; and   at least one photovoltaic panel hingedly connected to said peripheral wall structure, said photovoltaic panel movable from a closed position adjacent to said peripheral wall structure and an open position away from said peripheral wall structure.   
     
     
         12 . The shelter of  claim 11 , further comprising at least one electrical storage device connected to said photovoltaic panel. 
     
     
         13 . The shelter of  claim 12 , further comprising at least one lighting device mounted at least one of said peripheral wall structure and said roof in said interior space, said lighting device being connected to said electrical storage device. 
     
     
         14 . The shelter of  claim 11 , further comprising at least one lighting device mounted at least one of said peripheral wall structure and said roof in said interior space, said lighting device being connected to said photovoltaic panel. 
     
     
         15 . An integrated, portable shelter, comprising:
 a frame including a plurality of supports, said supports position said frame above an underlying support surface;   a peripheral wall structure connected to said frame, said peripheral wall structure defining at least one opening;   a sloped roof connected to said peripheral wall structure, wherein said peripheral wall structure and said sloped roof define an interior space; and   at least one water storage tank secured to said frame, wherein rainwater is collected by said sloped roof and moves downwardly on said roof due to gravity and is stored in said water storage tank.   
     
     
         16 . The shelter of  claim 15 , further comprising a water filtration system attached to said at least one water storage tank to filter impurities out of the water being stored in said water storage tank. 
     
     
         17 . The shelter of  claim 15 , further comprising at least one of a ceramic filter and a carbon filter attached to said at least one water storage tank to filter impurities out of the water being stored in said at least one water storage tank.
