Abstract: Provided is a portable folding cart including two folding rods, a base structure, a tow rod, and pulling devices that are located at both insides of scissors-bar assemblies and provided folded and unfolded together with scissors-bar assemblies so as to allow a user to conveniently and stably perform a folding process with the scissors-bar assemblies without lying or bending a body down. Therefore, the portable folding cart is conveniently and stably folded so that durability and reliability are increased.

Abstract: A tent system including: a fabric member including a body portion and a bottom portion to form a resident space; a fixing device disposed at the fabric member and including a mesh pocket, an upper clip, a lower clip and a side clip; a main pole coupled to the fabric member in an X-shape through the fixing device, in which one end and an opposite end of the main pole are supported by the mesh pocket and the lower clip, respectively; and an adjusting device that allows at least one of the fixing device and the main pole to have a variable structure. The tent is easily installed and disassembled even by one person with a simple structure and maintains a tight supported state to the ground, so that usability is improved in cost-effectiveness.

Abstract: A frame for a portable structure preferably in the form of a tent includes a hub having a plurality of tent pole frame members attached to it. The each tent pole is formed from a plurality of pole sections interconnected to one another along a structure permitting the pole sections to fold and/or compact upon one another. The poles define a proximate end attached to the hub and a distal end having a locking structure associated with it. The locking structure attaches each pole to the material defining the portable structure. The structure provides a reduced size package in the compacted position of the structure.

Abstract: An improved sleeping or camping cot construction is provided which eliminates the need for end rails for the cot frame. The frame is all one piece, portions of which are pivotally mounted with respect to other portions to permit folding of the frame for storage. A locking mechanism is associated with at least one of the cot supporting cross members to maintain the cot in the user supporting position of the cot.

Abstract: A frame structure for a portable structure, preferably a tent, has a hub capable of a plurality of configurations, each configuration adapted for receiving an associated end of a tent pole. Preferably, the tent pole is formed from a plurality of tent pole sections. Each tent pole section has a first end and a second end. At least one end of each of said plurality of tent pole sections has a ferrule associated with it. The ferrule is sized to receive an adjacent end of an associated tent pole section. Preferably the ferrule has a frustoconical shape. The structure also includes feet for receiving an end of each tent pole. The hub, tent poles and feet all are attached to the material used to define the tent.
