Claim 5:
6. An expandable canopy frame comprising:
four legs coupled to each other through a plurality of rib members scissor-type coupled together, with upper ends of certain of the rib members being respectively coupled to top ends of the legs;
a slider mechanism slidably mounted to each of the respective legs, wherein each slider is coupled to at least one lower end of a rib member;
wherein the four legs are coupled to each other through the plurality of the scissor coupled rib members, wherein:
the first leg is coupled to the second leg by four of the plurality of rib members forming two scissor couplings, the second leg is coupled to the third leg by four of the plurality of rib members forming two scissor couplings, the third leg is coupled to the fourth leg by eight of the plurality of rib members forming four scissor couplings, and the fourth leg is coupled to the first leg by four of the plurality of rib members forming two scissor couplings; and

a roof assembly for supporting a canopy;
wherein when the expandable canopy frame is in its expanded position:
the distance between the first leg and the second leg is shorter than the distance between the fourth leg and the third leg.
