Fog Collector - V3 With Foldable Mesh.

The mesh assembly, composed of cloth, elastic, and frame components, allows for easy handling due to its foldable design that prevents touching. Folded sheet metal frames are micro-welded or riveted with hole pins, aiding in attaching hooks and springs. Top and bottom frames help hold and stretch the mesh, while side protection is provided by cloth or leather stitching on the right and left sides. The folding mechanism relies on elastic tape made of fabric or rubber with high elasticity and elongation-contraction ratio. Stretched to its maximum point, the elastic material is securely fastened at only 4 or 5 points. When the mesh frame's stretching is loosened, the elastic contracts, causing the cloth and mesh to fold automatically. Up to five folded mesh flips are created when the elastic reaches its fully contracted state. The folded mesh can then be placed in a box without direct contact due to the frames. Handling only the frame, one simply needs to stretch the top frame until it's fully elongated and hooked at the top, followed by stretching the bottom frame until fully elongated and secured with a spring or hook at the bottom for tautness.
