US Patent 11879237 Rainwater harvesting system for emergency shelter

A rainwater harvesting apparatus and system for an emergency shelter includes a platform defining an aperture. A threaded fastener is inserted through the aperture and is rotatable through the aperture. A planar panel assembly is fastened to the platform by the threaded fastener. The planar panel assembly is configured to move on the threaded fastener along a longitudinal axis of the threaded fastener as the threaded fastener is rotated through the aperture in the platform. A canopy is secured to the planar panel assembly, such that a segment of the canopy moves together with the planar panel assembly along the longitudinal axis of the threaded fastener as the planar panel assembly moves on the threaded fastener.
