Abstract: The present invention is directed to a modified clevis assembly for collapsible tents. The clevis assembly is modified so that it contains a conical pin entry guide on a first clevis member to allow safe directing of the tip of the pin on a second clevis member into the recess of the first clevis member. In the modified clevis assembly the pin is guided into the recess should any torque or twist to the frame occur when the tent is erected due to the inherent flexibility of the materials used in the construction of tent frames and the tendency for the user to inadvertently apply force off of vertical through pressure from the user's hands when moving the lower clevis member toward the upper clevis member. The conical pin entry guide preferably forms an integral part of the under surface of the upper clevis member or of the upper surface of the lower clevis member. The clevis assembly is further optionally modified to include in or on the upper clevis member means to receive a fly adaptor assembly.
