  • Patent number: 10946785
    Abstract: A tent stowable around edges of a flatbed trailer to leave the floor of the flatbed trailer open for cargo and motor toys. The edge-stowable tent is supported internally by three rotationally deployable squared-off U-shaped supports. To be stowed, the tent and tent supports rotate to align with the front top edge and front portions of side top edges of the flatbed trailer. To be deployed, the tent and tent supports rotate to bring the rear edge of the tent to the rear edge of the flatbed trailer. Opposite legs of U-shaped tent supports are coupled to respective mounting supports on each side of the trailer, and rotate about aligned right-angled flanges to erect the tent. Support bars, attached to the top surfaces of front and side trailer walls or frame, support fasteners for bottom edges of the tent. The tent is stowed and erected by various means.
