ABSTRACT:
A collapsibe tent for mounting on the roof of an automotive vehicle or other surface includes a two-piece foldable platform, a collapsible frame, and a tent cover which is drawn into a tubular form resembling the top of a Conestoga wagon when the platform is unfolded and the frame erected. The frame includes a front support arch and a rear support arch, each of which is pivotable from a horizontal position parallel to the platform to a vertical position perpendicular to the platform. When the arches are in the vertical position, each leg of the arch is automatically and releasably locked into place by means of a compression spring which is carried on the mounting pin which connects that leg to the platform and which biasingly urges the leg into a notch in the sidewall of the platform when the leg is in a vertical position.
