Abstract: A locking pin assembly includes a button that can be moved in a first direction from a first position to a second position, and a first biasing member for biasing the button to be normally in the first position. The locking pin assembly also includes a locking pin member that engages the button and is movable in a second direction, which is substantially perpendicular to the first direction, from a third position to a fourth position when the button is moved from the first position to the second position. The locking pin assembly also includes a second biasing member for biasing the locking pin member to be normally in the third position. The locking pin assembly can be used in a collapsible canopy frame to adjust the height of a telescoping side pole by fixing upper and lower sections to each other and/or to fix the edge scissor assemblies and the side poles in an opened position.

Abstract: A collapsible canopy frame is provided that includes a plurality of side poles arranged in a configuration and a center pole disposed generally at a center of the configuration of the side poles. The collapsible canopy frame also includes a plurality of edge scissor assemblies each having a length and a midpoint along the length. Each edge scissor assembly is coupled between adjacent ones of the plurality of side poles. The collapsible canopy frame also includes at least one inner scissor assembly including a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is coupled to a corresponding one of the edge scissor assemblies at a position offset from the midpoint along the length of the corresponding one of the edge scissor assemblies, and wherein the second end is coupled to the center pole.

Abstract: A canopy system including a canopy frame and a canopy cover supported by the canopy frame. The canopy cover includes an inner solid portion, an outer solid portion, and a meshed portion disposed between the inner and outer solid portions and disposed proximately to an outer periphery of the canopy cover.

Abstract: A collapsible canopy frame includes a plurality of side poles, and a plurality of scissor assemblies for coupling the side poles to one another. The collapsible canopy frame also includes a center support pole, which includes an outer pole having an upper end and a lower end, and an inner pole slidable within the outer pole. The inner pole has an upper end that can extend upwardly from the outer pole and a lower end that can extend downwardly from the outer pole. A plurality of center scissor assemblies are provided for coupling the plurality of scissor assemblies to the center support pole. A fixing bracket fixed to the lower end of the outer pole has a central opening around the inner pole and a side opening. A locking pin is disposed at least partly in the side opening of the fixing bracket, and is used for fixedly coupling the inner pole to the fixing bracket.

Abstract: A side rail assembly for a canopy having a plurality of uprights is provided that includes a side rail having a first end and a second end with a hook attached to the first end of the side rail; and a mounting bracket mounted on a corresponding one of the uprights. The mounting bracket includes a first side rail connector having a post, such that the hook engages the post to secure the side rail to the mounting bracket.

Abstract: A two-tier canopy system is provided that includes a canopy support structure having a central post and a plurality of radially extending arms. A first canopy covering is supported by the radially extending arms and has a central opening, wherein the central post extends through the central opening. A second canopy covering, having at least a portion thereof disposed above the central opening, is supported by the central post, wherein the central post is biased towards the second canopy covering.

Abstract: A pull pin assembly includes: a first pole having a first hole; a second pole having a second hole, and sliding in the first pole; a main body having a central hollow containing the first pole; a pull pin body extending radially from the central hollow, and having a space extending into the central hollow; a pull pin, having a circumferential stop, disposed in the space to move from a first position extending into the central hollow through the first hole to a second position outside the central hollow; a pull pin plug fit into the space and having a hollow containing the pull pin; and a biasing member biasing the pull pin toward the second position to lock the first and second poles; wherein the biasing member is disposed to bias the pull pin between the circumferential stop and the pull pin plug.

Abstract: A side rail assembly including a side rail having two ends, and a fixture. The fixture is configured to be fixed at one end of the side rail, and defines a central hollow dimensioned to fit snugly around one of the plurality of uprights. The fixture further has a socket for receiving one end of the side rail, and hinged member. The hinged member defines one wall portion of the central hollow. The fixture is slidable around the upright when the hinged member is in an open position and fixture is fixed around the upright when the hinged member is in a closed position. A wedge portion of the hinged member defines a portion of the central hollow. A slot, dimensioned to receive the wedge portion of the hinged member when the hinged member is in the closed position, is also provided on the fixture. Lastly, a locking member is provided which is disposed to lock the hinged member in the closed position.

Abstract: A tent frame including: leg posts; a plurality of expandable connectors connected in pairs between adjacent posts, each connector having first and second outer ends and is fixedly connected at the first outer end to the upper end of one post and slidably connected at the second outer end to a lower portion of the same post, each connector movable between extended and folded states; a roof comprising upper poles, each pivotally connected to a post and to a central pole, each upper pole and corresponding central pole are movable between an extended and folded states; and support pole assemblies, each connected at one end to slide with a second outer end and at another end to a central pole so that each connector, upper pole and central pole expand together to the extended state and the support pole assemblies support the central poles to maintain the extended state.

Abstract: A pull pin assembly includes: a first pole having a first hole; a second pole having a second hole, and sliding in the first pole; a main body having a central hollow containing the first pole; a pull pin body extending radially from the central hollow, and having a space extending into the central hollow; a pull pin, having a circumferential stop, disposed in the space to move from a first position extending into the central hollow through the first hole to a second position outside the central hollow; a pull pin plug fit into the space and having a hollow containing the pull pin; and a biasing member biasing the pull pin toward the second first position to lock the first and second poles; wherein the biasing member is disposed to bias the pull pin between the circumferential stop and the pull pin plug.
