ABSTRACT:
A portable carport includes a foldable cover supported at its four corners by four telescoping assemblies each including an outwardly inclined telescoping mast. Each mast includes first and second anchoring legs, each having a foot wedged between the ground and the front and rear portions of the tread of the vehicle, respectively. A lateral anchoring assembly attached to each mast includes a lateral member having a plate which presses against an upper portion of the side wall of the adjacent tire and a clamp device that extends across the tread to engage the opposite inner wall of that tire and pulls the mast toward the tire, forcing the plate against the outer side wall, thereby maintaining the mast at a fixed angle of inclination relative to the plane of the tire. A removable spacer resting on the roof of the automobile pushes the center of the flexible cover upward to provide an air space between it and the top of the automobile. This allows rainfall to run off the top of the cover.
