Abstract

See full text

A five-device-in-one water-and-leaf-separating leaf-filtering water-collecting wind-blocking wind-redirecting marine-yacht-land-yacht-balcony-bumper-and-trailer-hitch-mountable sail comprises: a central-sail intersector; central-sail-supporting ribs; central-sail-rib-raising arms; an adjustable water-and-leaf-separating leaf-filtering central sail attached to the central-sail-supporting ribs for functioning as a water diverting device to predeterminately redirect the flow of water, functioning as a leaf filtering device to filter leaves from rain water when used upside down, functioning as a water collector to collect rain water when used upside down, functioning as a wind blocker to block wind, functioning as a privacy screen to provide privacy, functioning as an awning to angledly block rain and sun beams, functioning as a canopy to vertically block rain and sun beams, functioning as a wind redirector to redirect wind in and out of sail, and functioning as a sail-steering wind-powered device to steer the sail in multiple different directions; a ring-sail-rib intersector; primary automatically-centered-and-reinforced ribs for resisting bending and warping due to heavy winds, providing reinforced infrastructure for a sail when used on a wind-powered land vehicle, providing reinforced infrastructure for an emergency rainwater collecting device on a marine vessel, and providing reinforced infrastructure for a shade canopy; secondary automatically-centered-and-reinforced ribs for resisting bending and warping due to heavy winds, providing reinforced infrastructure for a sail when used on a wind-powered land vehicle, providing reinforced infrastructure for an emergency rainwater collecting device on a marine vessel, and providing reinforced infrastructure for a shade canopy; multi-rib-connecting automatically-centered-and-reinforced adjustable cores inserted into and screwed to the primary automatically-centered-and-reinforced ribs and the secondary automatically-centered-and-reinforced ribs, the multi-rib-connecting automatically-centered-and-reinforced adjustable cores for allowing manufacturers to shorten long ribs into the primary automatically-centered-and-reinforced ribs and the secondary automatically-centered-and-reinforced ribs to reduce the length and volume of the shipping package of the five-device-in-one water-and-leaf-separating leaf-filtering water-collecting wind-blocking wind-redirecting marine-yacht-land-yacht-balcony-bumper-and-trailer-hitch-mountable sail in a shipping container to save money from expensive shipping costs, and securely and reinforcingly connecting the primary automatically-centered-and-reinforced ribs to the secondary automatically-centered-and-reinforced ribs to provide strength and structure to the five-device-in-one water-and-leaf-separating leaf-filtering water-collecting wind-blocking wind-redirecting marine-yacht-land-yacht-balcony-bumper-and-trailer-hitch-mountable sail; rib-length-adjusting holes drilled into the primary automatically-centered-and-reinforced ribs, the secondary automatically-centered-and-reinforced ribs, and the multi-rib-connecting automatically-centered-and-reinforced adjustable cores; a ring-sail-arm intersector; ring-sail-rib-raising arms foldably attached to the ring-sail-arm intersector; an adjustable water-collecting wind-blocking privacy-screen ring sail attached to the primary automatically-centered-and-reinforced ribs and the secondary automatically-centered-and-reinforced ribs, the adjustable water-collecting wind-blocking privacy-screen ring sail for functioning as an emergency rainwater collector on a marine vessel functioning as a water collector to collect rainwater when used upside down, functioning as a sail on a wind-powered land vehicle, functioning as a wind blocker to block wind, functioning as a privacy screen to provide privacy, functioning as an awning to angledly block rain and sun beams, functioning as a canopy to vertically block rain and sun beams, functioning as a water diverting device to predeterminately redirect the flow of water, functioning as a leaf filtering device to filter leaves from rain water when used upside down, functioning as a wind redirector to redirect wind in and out of sail, and functioning as a wind resistor to protect users; an upper post attached to the central-sail intersector, the ring-sail-arm intersector slidably attached to the upper post; a lower post; and a multi-angled multi-surface-mountable multi-plate-connecting reversible stackable base attached to the lower post for stackably connecting multiple the multi-angled multi-surface-mountable multi-plate-connecting reversible stackable bases together, securing the five-device-in-one water-and-leaf-separating leaf-filtering water-collecting wind-blocking wind-redirecting marine-yacht-land-yacht-balcony-bumper-and-trailer-hitch-mountable sail at the base of a wall, securely wedging the five-device-in-one water-and-leaf-separating leaf-filtering water-collecting wind-blocking wind-redirecting marine-yacht-land-yacht-balcony-bumper-and-trailer-hitch-mountable sail to a step recess built into a truck-bumper corner or an RV-bumper corner without need for bolting, securely wedging the five-device-in-one water-and-leaf-separating leaf-filtering water-collecting wind-blocking wind-redirecting marine-yacht-land-yacht-balcony-bumper-and-trailer-hitch-mountable sail into a tailgate gap without need for bolting, securely wedging the five-device-in-one water-and-leaf-separating leaf-filtering water-collecting wind-blocking wind-redirecting marine-yacht-land-yacht-balcony-bumper-and-trailer-hitch-mountable sail to a balcony railing without need for bolting, securely wedging the five-device-in-one water-and-leaf-separating leaf-filtering water-collecting wind-blocking wind-redirecting marine-yacht-land-yacht-balcony-bumper-and-trailer-hitch-mountable sail to a railing of a watercraft without need for bolting, securely attaching the five-device-in-one water-and-leaf-separating leaf-filtering water-collecting wind-blocking wind-redirecting marine-yacht-land-yacht-balcony-bumper-and-trailer-hitch-mountable sail to a tow hitch, securely attaching the five-device-in-one water-and-leaf-separating leaf-filtering water-collecting wind-blocking wind-redirecting marine-yacht-land-yacht-balcony-bumper-and-trailer-hitch-mountable sail to a utility hole of a truck bed without need for bolting, securely attaching the five-device-in-one water-and-leaf-separating leaf-filtering water-collecting wind-blocking wind-redirecting marine-yacht-land-yacht-balcony-bumper-and-trailer-hitch-mountable sail to a wind-powered land vehicle to act as a sail, and securely attaching the five-device-in-one water-and-leaf-separating leaf-filtering water-collecting wind-blocking wind-redirecting marine-yacht-land-yacht-balcony-bumper-and-trailer-hitch-mountable sail to a column, table, wall, fence, bumper, balcony, or patio.
