Patent ID: 7185667

Claim:
A tent frame comprising at least one support frame, each said support frame including: a side support having first and second rigid side support members, each of said side support members being elongated between a respective lower member end and an upper member end, and a central support member being elongated between a lower end and an upper end and being adjustable in length between a retracted position and an extended position, said central support member being positionable at a location interposed between said first and second side support members, each lower member end of said first and second side supports and the lower end of said central support member being pivotally coupled together; a roof support having first and second roof support members, each of said first and second roof support members being elongated between a respective proximal member end and a distal member end, and a central roof support member being elongated between a proximal end and a distal end, said central roof support member being positionable at a location interposed between said first and second roof support members, each proximal member end of said first and second roof support members and the proximal end of said central roof support member being pivotally coupled together; first and second rigid coupling members, each coupling member being elongated between a respective first end portion and a second end portion, and each of the upper end, the distal end and each first end portion of said first and second coupling members being pivotally coupled to each other, the second end portion of said first coupling member being pivotally coupled to each of the upper member end of said first side support member and the distal member end of said first roof support member, and the second end portion of said second coupling member being pivotally coupled to each of the upper member end of said second side support member and the distal member end of said second roof support member, wherein the retraction or extension of said central support member permits vertical adjustment in the position of the distal end of the central roof support member.
