Claim 19:
20. A method, comprising:
connecting a tent fabric to a tent support of a tent frame utilizing a tent coupler that comprises a bridged interlocking member and a pivot interlocking member, wherein the connecting comprises:
positioning the pivot interlocking member adjacent to a bridge of the bridged interlocking member, wherein the pivot interlocking member is interconnected with the tent fabric and the bridged interlocking member is coupled to the tent support;
orienting the pivot interlocking member in a linking orientation relative to the bridge;
moving the pivot interlocking member in the linking orientation relative to the bridge to translate the bridge through an entrance slot of the pivot interlocking member and into a bridge-receiving aperture of the pivot interlocking member; and
pivoting the pivot interlocking member while the bridge is positioned within the bridge-receiving aperture from the linking orientation to within a range of interlocked orientations that restrict removal of the bridge from the bridge-receiving aperture.
