(54) | A self-contained tent |
(57) A self-contained tent has a flat rectangular case (20) which can be freely opened
or closed. A tent sheet (48) and a plurality of substantially U-shaped frame pipes
(46) are held in the case (20). The two ends of each frame pipe (46) are pivot- tally
supported in the case (20) through a pair of supports (38). When the tent sheet (48)
is held in the case (20), the sheet (48) covers the frame pipes (46). Since an edge
of the tent sheet (48) is attached to the edge of the case (20) through a seal element
(50), the frame pipes (46) are fastened to the predetermined inner surface positions
of the tent sheet (48). |
