Embodiment Construction

[0017] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the preferred embodiment of a tent assembly according to the present invention is shown to include a tent frame 2 and a collapsible canopy unit.

[0018] The tent frame 2 includes four upright posts 21 (only two posts 21 are shown) for forming a rectangular space thereamong, a roof support with four roof beams 24 (only two roof beams 24 are shown) disposed over and supported by the posts 21, four tie beams 22 (only one tie beam 22 is shown) interconnecting the posts 21, and a tent hub 23 mounted on the roof support.

[0019] The collapsible canopy unit includes a canopy frame 3, a canopy 4, and an operating mechanism.

[0020] The canopy frame 3 hangs on the tent hub 23, and is operable to be disposed between collapsed and expanded positions. The canopy frame 3 includes a hollow stick 31 that is connected to and that extends downwardly from the tent hub 23, that has upper and lower ends 313, 314, that defines a stick axis 310, and that has a stick wall 31...

Abstract

A tent assembly includes a tent frame and a collapsible canopy unit. The tent frame includes upright posts, roof beams, tie beams interconnecting the posts, and a tent hub mounted on corresponding ones of the roof beams. The collapsible canopy unit includes a canopy frame hanging on the tent hub and operable to be disposed between collapsed and expanded positions, a canopy mounted on the canopy frame, and an operating mechanism that is mounted on the tent frame and that includes a tension member connected to the canopy frame for controlling movement of the canopy frame between the collapsed and expanded positions.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to a tent assembly, more particularly to a tent assembly that has a canopy unit serving as a roof of a tent frame of the tent assembly. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] U.S. Pat. No. 6,170,503 B1 discloses a waterproof shelter that includes a tent frame and a cover mounted on the tent frame and including panels secured to the tent frame using a plurality of catches. [0005] The aforesaid waterproof shelter is disadvantageous in that it takes a lot of effort and time for assembly. When being assembled under an urgent situation, such as during rainy or snowy weather conditions, the catches are required to be operated to go through all retaining rings one by one before the cover is finally mounted on the tent frame. [0006] Therefore, it is desirable to have a simpler assembling mechanism for collapsing and expanding a cover of a shelter or the like. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] Th...
