Privacy module

Abstract

This invention relates to privacy screens, specifically, portable privacy screens with an integrated vertical height measuring tool. A portable lightweight privacy screen that can be conveniently carried and assembled and disassembled. The privacy module has one ruled segmented crown and one ruled segmented base which are identical and interchangeable with each other. They are each considered a single unit that is detachably connected together by a plurality of tubular couplers and bungee cord. The privacy module also has a plurality of ruled segmented supporting poles which are identical and interchangeable with each other. Each is considered a single unit that is detachably connected together by a plurality of tubular couplers and bungee cord. The present invention provides the collapsibility aspect by attaching bungee cord at two points on each of the separate units, giving the user the quick ease of assembling and disassembling of the structure. Further intent of the present invention is to increase the privacy area for the user, by providing a plurality of walls. The design of the present invention to provide privacy on a plurality of sides is also facilitated by an easily detachable fabric cover, interlaced with elastic from end to end, on top and bottom, which attaches and secures the fabric cover at a plurality of points by an elastic loop on the ends of the ruled segmented crown and ruled segmented base. The present invention also provides the option of attaching a plurality of privacy module together. The present invention also presents an integrated means of measuring a person's standing height by adding graduating marks to the segmented supporting poles, as well as to the segmented crown and the segmented base. Height indicator marks are placed on top of the ruled segmented crown in conjunction with the ruled segmented supporting poles, to align them with the vertically placed ruled auxiliary arm, for height extensions above 6-feet.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A portable lightweight privacy screen with an integrated height measuring tool that can be conveniently carried and assembled and disassembled, wherein the tubular couplers contain bungee cord attachment, comprising;
 an upper identical and interchangeable ruled segmented crown, which acts as one unit, a lower identical and interchangeable ruled segmented base, which acts as one unit, a plurality of identical and interchangeable ruled segmented supporting poles, each acting as a single unit;   ruled segmented crown, ruled segmented base, and all ruled segmented supporting poles are as individual units that are detachably connected together by a plurality of tubular couplers;   whereby each unit, ruled segmented crown, ruled segmented base, and ruled segmented supporting poles, is collapsible upon itself and still be a single unit for packing and transport;   the ruled segmented base will retain the two first segments, the two second segments, and third segment; the ruled segmented crown will retain the two first segments, the two second segments, and third segment;   the ruled segmented supporting poles will retain its two first segments on opposite ends and single middle second segment, as a unit;   being kept in those aforementioned positions as a single unit due to a plurality of bungee cord attachment mechanisms and a plurality of bungee cord attachment mechanism housings;   an additional plurality of tubular couplers, including some of the aforementioned tubular couplers are used to interconnect the upper ruled segmented crown, ruled segmented base, and plurality of ruled segmented supporting poles to form the present invention.   
     
     
         2 . The combination of  claim 1  wherein a portable lightweight privacy screen that can be conveniently carried and assembled and disassembled, comprising;
 a plurality of bungee cord attachment mechanisms and bungee cord attachment mechanism housings: 
 the bungee cord is securely fastened in a loop, by a plurality of metal rings, around a metal pin embedded in a tubular housing by way of a plurality of holes from top to bottom or from side to side and covered with an outer tubular housing to encompass the entire 360 degree of the tubular member said pin is embedded; 
 the aforementioned bungee cord attachment mechanism and bungee cord attachment mechanism housing utilized at the ends of the ruled segmented crown and at the ends of the ruled segmented base, cause the plurality of the segments to maintain and act as a single structural unit. 
 
     
     
         3 . The combination of  claim 1  wherein said plurality of bungee cord attachment mechanism and bungee cord attachment mechanism housing have the bungee cord securely fastened, in a loop by a plurality of metal rings, around a metal pin embedded in a tubular housing by way of a plurality of holes from top to bottom or from side to side and covered with an outer tubular housing to encompass the entire 360 degree of the tubular member said pin is embedded;
 the plurality of the aforementioned bungee cord attachment mechanism and bungee cord attachment mechanism housing utilized, at the proximal ends of the plurality of ruled segmented supporting poles, cause the plurality of segments to maintain and act as a single structural unit. 
 
     
     
         4 . A portable lightweight privacy screen comprising;
 a detachably connected ruled auxiliary tubular extension to increase the size of the privacy area;   a plurality of detachably connected ruled auxiliary tubular extensions and tubular couplers are used to interconnect additional privacy modules;   a detachably connected ruled auxiliary tubular extension fabric cover with zippers or Velcro patches.   
     
     
         5 . The combination of  claim 4  wherein, the present invention in the present embodiment is a single privacy module;
 can be combined with two additional privacy modules via the detachably connected ruled auxiliary tubular extension; 
 a horizontally positioned privacy module can be combined with two vertically positioned privacy modules by a plurality of detachably connected ruled auxiliary tubular extensions, tubular couplers, and nuts and bolts to secure a semi-enclosed structure. 
 
     
     
         6 . A portable lightweight privacy screen that can be conveniently carried and assembled and disassembled, wherein the tubular couplers contain bungee cord attachment, comprising;
 an integrated height measuring tool;   with graduating marks for a foot scale and a metric scale;   a height extension indicator;   height extension tubular member.
