Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3591144A1] A collapsible bivouac shelter (bivvy) is disclosed which, when erected, has closed rear and sides and a front entrance. The bivvy comprises a central hub, ribs radiating from the hub and pivotable relative to the hub about axes that are generally parallel to one another, and a canopy maintained taut by the ribs when the bivvy is erected to define a sheltered space beneath the canopy. The ribs include a first plurality of ribs at the rear and sides of the bivvy that extend from the hub to the ground when the bivvy is erected and floating ribs that project towards the front of the bivvy to overlie the front entrance. At least two floating ribs are provided with extensions that are pivotable relative to, or separable from, the floating ribs and lockable in alignment with the floating ribs to support an extension of the canopy that forms a porch projecting forward of the entrance to the bivvy. The frame further comprising a bridge member extending between a first floating frame member and a second floating frame member, the bridge member being arranged to extend upwardly at an angle from the two floating frame members and supporting a part of the canopy over the porch section to provide a multi-pitched roof section.
