Abstract
Abstract A reflective booth or enclosure for sunning formed by attached, identical panels which can be conveniently assembled from detached, stacked condition to fully setup condition. The booth is locked in setup condition by means of adjustably positioned holddown members or bars which utilize the weight of a cot or chaise and its occupant to provide stability for the enclosure.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
A booth assembly for sunbathing comprising a plurality of identical rectangular panels, each of said panels being formed of a light-reflective sheet framed by intersecting tubular members at its margins, each panel further having at diagonally opposite corners a flange extending slightly beyond the panel and carrying an inwardly extending pin, the other diagonally opposite corners of each panel having similarly extending flanges apertured to accommodate the flange pins of an adjacent panel, said panels being detachably secured to each other in end-to-end relation to form a generally rectangular enclosure with the flange pins inserted into the flange apertures of adjacent panels, a plurality of transverse members extending across the open base of the booth, each of said transverse members having a generally Ushaped resilient clamp at each of its ends gripping the marginal tubular frame member of the adjacent panel, said transverse members being adjustably spaced from each other so as to underlie an occupant of the booth and thereby provide a stabilizing holddown force when the booth is occupied.
