ABSTRACT:
A framework is provided for a tent canopy which is capable of being erected and collapsed quickly and simply. A cart is able to support the tent framework during erecting and collapsing and is used for transporting between erection sites. The framework has a center post which is pivotally attached to four roof beams which are oriented at 90 degree increments. Each roof beam is pivotally attached to a leg and each leg to two side bars, which side bars are linearly connectable to a mating side bar mounted on an adjacent leg. Each leg pivots to a vertical orientation and rests on the ground. The framework uses a cord and pulley apparatus for collapsing the cloth canopy which covers the framework.
