DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 6 thereof, a new portable shed assembly embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 6, the portable shed system 10 generally comprises housing that includes a top wall 12 and a perimeter wall 14 that is attached to and extends downwardly from the top wall 12. The perimeter wall 14 includes a back wall 16, a front wall 18, a first lateral wall 20 and a second lateral wall 22. The front wall 18 has a door opening 24 that extends therethrough. A receiving space 26 is defined beneath the top wall 12 and is accessible through the door opening 24. The perimeter wall 14 has an inner surface 28 and an outer surface 30. The top wall 12 comprises a peaked roof. The back wall 16 has an opening 32 therein for viewing the receiving space 26. The housing has a length that is between 65.0 inches and 95.0 inches and a width that is between 40.0 inches and 65.0 inches. The perimeter wall 14 has a height between 40.0 inches and 60.0 inches.

A front door 34 is hingedly coupled to the front wall 18 and is positioned in a closed position that closes the door opening 24 or in an open position that allows entry into the receiving space 26. The front door 34 is positioned opposite of the back wall 16. A lock 36 is mounted on the front door 34 and releasably engages the perimeter wall 14 to retain the front door 34 in the closed position. A handle 38 is attached to the front door 34.

A window 40 comprises a window frame 42 and transparent pane 44 that is hingedly coupled to the back wall 16 and removably covers the opening 32. A securing member 46 is mounted on the window 40 and releasably secures the window 40 in a closed position that covers the opening 32. A knob 48 is mounted on the window to facilitate a user's grip of the window 40.

A plurality of eyelets 50 is attached to the perimeter wall 14 adjacent to a lower edge thereof. The housing includes four corners and each of the corners 52 has one of the eyelets 50 positioned adjacent thereto. A plurality of stakes 54, each of the eyelets 50 has one of the stakes 54 extended therethrough and into a ground surface 56 to secure the housing to the ground surface 56.

A plurality of couplers 58 is positioned on the inner surface 28. Each of the front 18 and back walls 16 has at least one of the couplers 58 mounted thereto. The couplers 58 are positioned adjacent to the top wall 12. A plurality of tethers 60, each of the tethers 60 has a first end 62 and a second end 64. Each of the tethers 60 is resiliently stretchable and may comprise of an elastic cord but should be understood as any material that is resiliently stretchable. Each of the first 62 and second ends 64 comprises a hook. Each of the couplers 60 has one of the first ends 62 removably attached thereto. The second ends 64 are attachable to a motorized device 66 positioned within the receiving space 26. The motorized device 66 may be an all-terrain vehicle, a lawn mower or any other motorized device 66 that fits in the receiving space 26.

In use, the assembly 10 is positioned on a ground surface 56. Each of the eyelets 50 has one of the stakes 54 extended therethrough and into the ground surface 56 securing the assembly 10 to the ground surface 56. The front door 34 is opened and a motorized device 66 may be positioned with in. The user may removably attach the motorize device 66 to a plurality of tethers 60. The tethers 60 are they secured to the couplers 58 such that the motorized device 66 is removably secured to the assembly 10. The window 40 may be opened and allow the user to secure the tethers 60 to the couplers 58 mounted to the back wall 16. The front door 34 is then shut and locked into the closed position securing the motorized device 66 inside said assembly 10.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
