Abstract
A self erecting tent structure comprises a compact, easily erected, and easily packed portable structure. A body comprised of flexible sheetlike material is supported by a resilient, single closed loop frame. The tent is generally stable and requires no support from attachment to the ground to remain upright by virtue of a low center of gravity provided by a roof portion having a generally hourglass shape, and preferably includes side walls descending from the roof portion at near vertical angles.
