ABSTRACT:
A collapsible shelter comprising frame and canopy, particularly suitable for sheltering a motor vehicle. The frame has a folding or collapsible quadrilateral, perimetric member for supporting a fabric canopy, and four removable, collapsible legs. Separate weighted feet are provided for the legs. The quadrilateral frame has hinged joints enabling folding of the frame. Rigid sleeves are slidably disposed upon the frame members for preventing folding or collapse when covering the hinged joints and enabling folding or collapse when slid away from the hinged joints. Optionally, tethers are provided to anchor the canopy to the motor vehicle. Each tether has a hook at one end, for engaging a hole formed in the canopy, and a suction cup at the other end for attaching to the motor vehicle.
