Abstract (en)

The invention relates to an arrangement for a tent, comprising at least two supporting structures (2) and a plurality of elongate spacing members (4, 5), which each extend between two supporting structures (2) to form a construction (1), in which a tent cloth (12, 13) is intended to be mounted, each spacing member (4, 5) being connected to the respective supporting structures (2) with the aid of a fastening means (14). A plurality of first fastening means (14) are adapted to allow said spacing members (5) to be movable, on the one hand, perpendicularly to said supporting structures (2) and, on the other hand, parallel with said supporting structures (2), and a first tensioning member (24) is adapted, in cooperation with each of said first fastening means (14), to apply a separating force (F) between the spacing member (5) and the supporting structure (2), said force (F) having a component (F1) which acts along the spacing member (5) and a component (F2) which acts transversely of the spacing member (5) to stretch out a cloth (12, 13), which is mounted on the construction (1), so as to make it plane. <??>By the invention, a tent cloth can be arranged on the construction (1) without being completely stretched, and subsequently be stretched so as to be plane with the aid of the cooperation of the tensioning member (24) with the fastening means (14), resulting in sagging portions and folds in the cloth being eliminated. <IMAGE>
