Circular camping tent has roof and walls supported by umbrella-type structure with radial arms deployed semi-automatically from central pole

摘要

The tent has a covering layer (7) of fabric with doors (9) and windows (10), supported by a series of arms radiating from the top of a central pole (1) and deployed by an umbrella-type mechanism with spokes (4), a spring (13) and a rack (18). The radiating arms have ends that extend downwards to the ground, where they are anchored by pegs (6). The covering material can have an insulated lining (25). The mechanism allows a tent with an external diameter of 5 m and a maximum height of 2.25 m can be folded to about 0.5 m diameter by 1.7 long, or 1.2 m if telescopic arm extensions are used.
