ABSTRACT:
A tent having a plurality of sleeve(s) each of which, on erection of the tent, extends in an arch from one point adjacent the lower edge of the tent to an opposite point adjacent the lower edge. Each sleeve is closed at one end thereof and open at its other end for the insertion therein of a flexible, resilient rod for holding the tent erect with the rod curved into an arch and holding the sleeve in an arch. The tent has at the open end of each sleeve a strap extending out from the open end of the sleeve, the strap being formed at its outer end with a rod-end-receiving pocket. The pocket is spaced from the open end of the sleeve for the insertion of the rod into the sleeve through the open end of the sleeve and for bending of the rod and insertion of its end extending out of the open end of the sleeve means into the pocket to hold the rod bent into an arch. The pocket is at one face of the strap. A flexible tongue is secured to the strap inwardly of the pocket extending lengthwise of the strap on the one face thereof and is of such length as to be capable of being folded back on itself to form a loop insertable in the pocket with an elongate loose end portion extending out of the pocket. The strap has a hand-grasp extension from the pocket. The tongue is foldable around the end of the rod, and the latter with the tongue folded therearound is insertable in the pocket as facilitated by pulling on the strap via the hand-grasp extension. Removal of the end of the rod from the pocket is facilitated by pulling on the strap via the hand-grasp extension and on the end of the tongue.
