ABSTRACT:
A one-touch assembling collapsible tent frame is disclosed. In the tent frame, the pole ribs are quickly coupled to the tent frame through a one-touch motion. The tent frame is stably supported on the ground since the interval between the lower portions of side poles is wider than that of the upper portions when fully stretching the frame. The tent frame has a slider locking means capable of allowing a slider to be easily and safely locked to or released from a side pole. A tension adjusting means is provided at the center pole for selectively adjusting the spring force of a center pole spring at the outside of the center pole. The center pole thus tightly and stably stretches and sustains the roof of a canvas or other material of the tent and improves the appearance of the tent even when pitching the tent in the wind.
