Abstract: A foldable tent frame utilizes an upper spider to secure a plurality of pivoted lengths which anchor the upper sections of a like number of tent frame legs. The leg anchor lengths are connected pivotally intermediate their ends to one end of a like number of lower lengths the opposite ends of which are connected pivotally to a lower spider. Drive mechanism interconnects the upper and lower spiders to move the lower spider toward and away from the upper spider to effect erection and collapse, respectively, of the tent frame. The drive mechanism includes locking mechanism for securing the spider assembly in the erected condition of the frame. Intermediate and lower leg sections are hinged together and joined to each of the upper leg sections.
