  • Patent number: 7766024
    Abstract: A tent frame comprising support frames having side support and roof support members. Spans of the support frames are adjustable perpendicular to a ridge line of the tent frame without substituting structural members of different length. The tent frame is laterally adjusted by adding or removing support frames or by altering the distance between individual support frames. The tent frame is adaptable on uneven terrain and is capable of following irregular ground contour without delay in erection or changes in length and details in the structural members. A canopy can be provided overtop of the tent frame, or on the inside of the tent frame so that adjustments to the span do not require adjustment to the canopy size. The canopy is removably attached to the frame to cover the whole area or only partially cover the area under the tent, or can be removed fully.

  • Patent number: 7185667
    Abstract: The present invention provides a tent frame comprised of support frames having a side support and roof support. The spans of the support frames can be adjusted perpendicular to the ridge line without substituting structural members of different length. The tent frame of the present invention can be adjusted in a lateral distance by adding or removing support frames or by altering the distance between individual support frames. The present invention is also advantageous in that the tent frame is adaptable on uneven terrain and is capable of following irregular ground contour, without delay in erection or changes in length and details in the structural members or components. A canopy can be provided on either the inside or overtop of the tent frame. Providing the canopy on the inside of the tent frame is advantageous because adjustments to the span of a support frame of the tent frame does not require a subsequent adjustment to the canopy size.
