Abstract
An expandable and collapsible structure comprising at least two first members and a second member. Each first member includes two plates rotatably connected at an edge of each of the two plates. One of the two plates of each of the first members is adapted to be slidably coupled with the second member. When the two plates of each of the pair of first members are disposed in a non-parallel configuration, the structure is disposed in an expanded state and when the two plates of each of the first members are disposed in a parallel configuration, the structure is disposed in a collapsed state.
