ABSTRACT:
A barrier shield device, foldable and easily portable, for outdoor use in providing wind-protection or other shielding effects, particularly for use on a sandy beach. A plurality of panels are hinged for a composite shield-effect when folded outwardly for use; and a plurality of spikes, which are supportingly connected to the panels, are movable between an upper position for ease of transport and a lower position in which they are pushed into the ground to hold the panel assembly stable.
The connectors for connecting the spikes to the panels, but permitting the movement of the spikes into the sand or ground, are advantageously provided integrally from portions of the panels themselves, and they are located sufficiently low with respect to the bottom edge of the panels that the spikes are supported in and between both their transport position and their ground-engaging position; and the connectors for the spike or spikes inwardly of the end spikes are formed from the panel-portions adjacent the hinges of the panels, thus achieving the opening for accommodation of the spike by the panel-material which would be an outside corner of the panel assembly whether in folded condition for transport or open condition for shield-effect use.
