Definitions

  • a ventilable portable structure assembly transformable between a collapsed state and an erected state, the assembly comprising a first portion of foldable material arranged to define, when in the erected state, an interior chamber and a second portion of foldable material arranged to define, when in the erected state, a thermal chimney having an inlet at one end thereof and an outlet at another end thereof; wherein the first and second portions are arranged so as to permit, when in the erected state, flow of air through the interior chamber into the thermal chimney via the inlet in response to heating of air substantially passing through the thermal chimney, the air entering the thermal chimney being expelled from the thermal chimney via the outlet.
  • the first portion 102 defines an interior chamber 106 , the interior chamber 106 being capable of being used for habitation therein.
  • the first portion 102 is a canopy having a surface 108 that is tapered, thereby defining a tapered volume beneath the canopy.
  • the foldable material forming the canopy is heat-reflecting.
  • the throttle 206 can be replaced by a flap of reticulated material to increase air flow to the inlet 116 of the conduit 114 .
