ABSTRACT:
A collapsible shelter or tent commonly known as an umbrella tent, that includes an integral frame and cover, the frame including tent poles formed of interconnected tent pole sections whose ends are telescoped together and are urged in their telescoped coupling by an elastic cord that is maintained, under tension, within each tent pole. Each tent pole is pivotally connected at a top end to extend radially from a crown, with the opposite tent pole end maintained to a web strap that extends from a base of which cover, with a number of slides mounted to slide along each tent pole that individually connect to and extend from loops secured at vertical intervals to extend outwardly from which cover. Both the crown and an erecting ring each receive a center pole fitted to slide axially therethrough, and the erecting ring pivotally mounts a rib end thereto that pivotally couples at its opposite end to the tent pole at an intermediate point therealong. When the crown and erecting ring are slid together along the center pole, each rib pivots outwardly urging the connected tent pole into a bowed attitude, providing an umbrella type opening of the shelter, that can then be collapsed by pulling the erecting ring away from which crown slide, collapsing the frame. Whereafter the individual tent poles can be disconnected by pulling them apart and folding them together into a bundle for rolling in the tent material.
