ABSTRACT:
The collapsible shelter structure comprises a series of panels held in angularly spaced relationship to define a shelter structure. The framework of each panel comprises a pair of generally parallel bars held in spaced relationship by a single central strut. Corresponding ends of the bars are tied together by flexible means, such as a sheet of fabric, preventing the bars from moving out of parallel. The fabric is slightly stretched by the strut. Conveniently, a single bar is common to adjacent panels similarly formed. In order to determine the angularity of adjacent panels, each intermediate bar is provided with a link piloted on the central portion of the bar, the link having two angularly spaced rigid plugs, one detachably telescoped into the brace of one panel and the other detachably telescoped into the brace of the adjacent panel. A solid, but readily erected and collapsed shelter structure results.
