Abstract

The specification describes a selectively reversible, portable enclosure comprising a collapsible framework having a flexible covering associated therewith, the flexible covering having opposite first and second surfaces each bearing a distinct color, pattern, or other indicia. Without disassociating the flexible covering from the collapsible framework, the enclosure is selectively transitionable between a first condition, wherein the first surface of the flexible covering is disposed outside of the enclosure and the second surface of the flexible covering is disposed inside of the enclosure, and a second condition, wherein the second surface of the flexible covering is disposed outside of the enclosure and the first surface of the flexible covering is disposed inside of the enclosure.
