    Abstract: A shelter has two hinge assemblies on opposite sides and a series of hoops radiating from the hinge assemblies to support a canopy. The shelter may be opened from either end. Each hinge assembly includes two arms that support respective halves of the support hoops. The arms pivot about a lateral pivot axis so that when the shelter is opened, one of the arms will pivot upwardly so that the hoops carried by it will lie flat on top of the hoops attached to the other hinge arm.
