Abstract (en)
A tent structure comprises a cap 12 having a plurality of poles 141 articulately coupled thereto and extending therefrom. Each pole 141 is articulately coupled to a member 142 which in turn is articulately coupled to a hub 11. The hub 11 and cap 12 are aligned along a central axis of the tent framework, and the position of hub 11 relative to the cap 12 depends upon whether the tent structure is erected or collapsed. The hub 11 is moved in an axial direction into engagement with the cap 12 when erecting the tent structure by pulling rope 21 through the cap 12. When erected, the tent framework has a substantially pyramidal shape with the cap 12 at its apex; the poles 141 are braced outwardly from the central axis by the members 142. When collapsed, the tent framework has an elongate shape with the poles 141 substantially parallel to the central axis. <IMAGE>
