ABSTRACT:
A portable folding tent which is adapted to be erected over a child's bed thereby enabling the child to camp out under a tent in his own bed. Several basic embodiments of the tent are provided. One has substantially rigid sides, while another includes a light tubular frame with a soft cover stretched thereover and secured thereto. The rigid sided embodiment may be reversible and have different figurines or decorations on the side walls thereof. Another embodiment may provide for inflatable tent sides so that the structure may be utilized as either a tent or a floatable raft. Other features include a hinged top in combination with an adjustable member for setting the width of the tent to any desired angle. Anchor straps attach to the lower portion of the tent and may be used to secure the tent to the bed or ground.
