Claim 0:
1. A tent coupler configured to selectively interconnect a tent fabric and a tent support of a tent to one another, the tent coupler comprising:
a bridged interlocking member comprising:
a tent support-receiving portion comprising a tent support receiver configured to selectively couple to the tent support, a tether-receiving portion, and a bridge that extends between and supports the tent support-receiving portion and the tether-receiving portion spaced apart from one another, wherein the bridge defines a bridge width that is less than a width of each of the tent support-receiving portion and the tether-receiving portion;

a pivot interlocking member comprising a tent fabric receiver configured to interconnect with the tent fabric, wherein the pivot interlocking member defines:
a bridge-receiving aperture extending through a thickness of the pivot interlocking member and configured to selectively receive the bridge of the bridged interlocking member;
an entrance slot interconnected with the bridge-receiving aperture and configured to permit selective movement of the bridge into and out of the bridge-receiving aperture;

wherein the tent coupler is configured to selectively transition between a linking configuration and an interlocked configuration, wherein in the linking configuration, the pivot interlocking member is positioned and orientated relative to the bridged interlocking member for translation of the bridge into and from the bridge-receiving aperture via the entrance slot, and wherein in the interlocked configuration, the bridge is positioned within the bridge-receiving aperture and the pivot interlocking member is oriented within a range of interlocked orientations about the bridge that restrict removal of the bridge from the bridge-receiving aperture through the entrance slot.
