(57) A tent frame (10) comprising a hub (12) from which extend a plurality of limbs (14,15), respective ends of some of which are secured to the hub (12) by way of respective pivots (16), constituting a first set of pivots, having respective pivot axes which are generally parallel to one another. Respective ends of at least two (15) of the said plurality of limbs (14,15) are secured to the hub (12) by way of respective pivots (24), constituting a second set of pivots, enabling the said at least two (15) of the said plurality of limbs (14,15) to be pivoted about axes which are generally transverse of the pivot axes of the said first set of pivots (16). The pivots (16,24) of the first and second set of pivots are fixed in position relative to one another even when the limbs (14,15) are pivoted about their respective pivots (16,24) whilst the frame (10) is unfolded into an erect condition and whilst it is folded for stowage.
