ABSTRACT:
The collapsible shelter structure comprises a pair of composite frame sections corresponding, generally, to front and back walls of the shelter. The front and back frame sections are held in spaced relationship by struts that themselves may be foldable as by a retractable splint structure. The struts are external of the fabric or other flexible walls forming the shelter and all of the frame elements remain connected to the companion elements when the structure is collapsed. In a tent configuration, the front and rear frame sections each include rafters that pivotally connect together to form a weather stable arrangement even absent a ridge pole.
