  • Tent pole clip
    Patent number: 6227218
    Abstract: A tent (10) includes a fabric shell (12) supported by a plurality of poles (16). The poles (16) are selectively secured to the fabric shell (12) by a plurality of clips (20). Each clip (20) includes a base (26) that is directly sewn or otherwise secured to the fabric shell (12). Each clip further defines a clasp portion (24) that selectively receives a first pole (16a), and which may also selectively receives a transverse second pole (16b). A width defined by the base (26) is preferably wider than a width defined by the clasp portion (24) for enhanced stability.
