Abstract
A protective tent structure of light weight, portable construction is formed by joining a plurality of flexible support members at upper and lower terminal ends of each for pivotal movement about a linear axis through the commonly joined upper and lower ends. The tent is movable between fully erected and folded positions and, when in its folded position, the support members may be manually moved from a normal, unflexed position to a flexed position wherein the terminal ends of the support members are spaced more closely than when the members are in their unflexed positions. A separate member with hook-shaped end portions is provided for releasably retaining the support members in the flexed position while the tent is folded. In the unflexed position, the support members all include a linear base portion and an arcuate support portion, the latter being engaged with a flexible fabric covering which forms the protective portion of the tent when in the erected position.
