Abstract:
1. A foldable tent structure, comprising: a plurality of curved half-poles that are connected to one another in an upper part thereof according to a general radial arrangement so as to form, in a deployed state, a frame that supports fabric of the tent structure, the curved half-poles being able to be folded against one another to store the frame, each half-pole consisting of wherein the distal ends of the branches of the pivoting half-poles are mounted to pivot on a pair of connecting plates, disposed at a peak of the structure, around distinct vertical axes of rotation and separated from one another, at least two brackets being disposed between the pair of plates along the two axes of rotation so as to keep the branches of the half-poles separated, the rectilinear holding elements are connected to a lower connecting plate disposed at the base of the structure, perpendicular to the pair of connecting plates, the holding element being mounted to pivot around axes located in the extensions of the axes of rotation of the upper branches of the pivoting half-poles, and the holding elements of the set of half-poles and the lower connecting plate form, in the deployed state, the base of the frame that is designed to rest on the ground.
