Sandpad

Abstract

The Sandpad is a framed oversized beach towel/blanket that is portable and lightweight for beach and picnic use. The embodiment is a framed towel/blanket that is composed of collapsible PVC tubing of which the longitudinal sides are held together by 6 mm elastic cord and an in-line PVC coupling. The tubing is slid through sewn sleeves along the outer edges of the fabric, which keeps the fabric straight, taut and flat on the sand or ground. It provides a clean and pleasant surface, easy assembly, and is easily detached for storage.

         2 . I claim according to  claim 1 , the frame composed of 4 sides, of which the 2 longitudinal sides are collapsible and attached by 6 mm elastic cord. The 2 transverse sides that are equal to each other, attach to the longitudinal sides to keep the embodiment flat and taut. 
     
     
         3 . I claim according to  claim 1 , the sewn sleeves of the fabric which allow easy insertion of the tubing on all four sides to keep the fabric flat and taut.
