Abstract
The portable expanding barrier, or 'sutra,' for Muslim worshippers provides protection for the area immediately in front of a worshipper of the Muslim faith during prayer. The barrier comprises several embodiments, including multiple short telescoping segments, coil springs encased in a flexible sleeve, multiple segments keyed together for locking into extended position by partial rotation, hollow tubular segments connected by an elastic cord extending through the segments, and multiple rigid segments pivotally secured to one another at alternate ends of each segment. The device may be integrated with a prayer rug, and mechanisms may be provided for automatic barrier deployment. A compass may be included.
