A family protective shelter which can be erected quickly inside in a home
living room, family room, patio, or on an outside lawn area. This dome
tent enclosure is designed of clear plastic sheet material which is
impervious to gases used to conduct chemical warfare (such as nerve gas,
mustard gas, serin, cyanide, and the like) dispersed biohazard aerosol
compounds (such as anthrax, smallpox, polio, bacteria, viruses, or
fungi), or other atmospheric toxins, such as those from a nuclear
fallout. This protective "pop-up", external frame enclosure will be sized
to house at least two adults comfortably (6.times.9.times.7 high inside,
up to about 10.times.18'.times.7' high), will incorporate a zip-lock
entrance/egress isolation portal chamber, and will communicate to the
outside world through combat gas mask filters, plus phone, computer and
electrical outlet feed-through, and perhaps a water trap coupling. The
invention can keep a family of 1 to 10 (with a larger size) relatively
isolated and safe from the harmful effects of a chemical biohazard, or
nuclear fallout enemy attack for a matter of hours up to several days.
The portal chamber can also connect together additional modules.
