[0024] Furthermore, the c member c shown in Figure 5 may be made of metal such as steel, but may also be made of wood, for example, and have a c1 member c1 and a c2 member c2, with the inclusion Kc1, the first protruding member K1, and the inclusion Kc2 sandwiched between the c1 member c1 and the c2 member c2, and fastened with bolts 100 and nuts 200, connecting the c member c to the turnip bundle K via the first protruding member K1. The inclusion Kc1 is located between the first protruding member K1 and the c1 member c1, and the inclusion Kc2 is located between the first protruding member K1 and the c2 member c2. Like the c member c, the c' member c' may be made of metal such as steel, but may also be made of wood, for example, and have a c'1 member (not shown) and a c'2 member Kc'1 (not shown), with an inclusion Kc'2 (not shown), a fourth extension member K4 located opposite the first extension member K1, and the inclusion Kc2 sandwiched between the c'1 member (not shown) and the c'2 member (not shown), and fastened with bolts (not shown) and nuts (not shown), connecting the c' member (not shown) to the turnip bundle K via the fourth extension member K4 located opposite the first extension member K1.

[0025] Furthermore, the c" member c" shown in Figure 5 may be made of metal such as steel, but may also be made of wood, for example, and have a c"1 member c"1 and a c"2 member c"2. Between the c"1 member c"1 and the c"2 member c"2, an inclusion Kc"1, a second protruding member K2, and an inclusion Kc"2 are sandwiched and fastened together with bolts (not shown) and nuts (not shown), connecting the c" member c" to the turnip bundle K via the second protruding member K2. The inclusion Kc''1 is located between the second protruding member K2 and the c''1 member c''1, and the inclusion Kc''2 is located between the second protruding member K2 and the c''2 member c''2. The c"' member c"' may be made of metal such as steel, but like the c" member c", it may be made of wood, for example, and have a c"'1 member c"'1 and a c"'2 member c"'1, and between the c"'1 member c"'1 and the c"'2 member c"'2, an inclusion Kc"'1, a fifth outward extending member K5 located opposite the second outward extending member K2, and an inclusion Kc"'2 are sandwiched and fastened together with bolts (not shown) and nuts (not shown), connecting the c"' member c"' to the turnip bundle K via the fifth outward extending member K5. The inclusion Kc'''1 is located between the fifth protruding member K5 and the c'''1 member c'''1, and the inclusion Kc'''2 is located between the fifth protruding member K5 and the c'''2 member c'''2.
[0026] Furthermore, the c""member c"" shown in Figure 5 may be made of metal such as steel, but may also be made of wood, for example, and have a c""1 member c""1 and a c""2 member c""2, with the inclusion Kc""1, the third protruding member K3, and the inclusion Kc""2 sandwiched between the c""1 member c""1 and the c""2 member c""2, and fastened together with bolts (not shown) and nuts (not shown), connecting the c""member c"" to the turnip bundle K via the third protruding member K3. The inclusion Kc''''1 is located between the third protruding member K3 and the c''''1 member c''''1, and the inclusion Kc''''2 is located between the third protruding member K3 and the c''''2 member c''''2. The c""' member c""' may be made of metal such as steel, but like the c"" member c""', it may be made of wood, for example, and have a c""'1 member c""'1 and a c""'2 member c""'1, and between the c""'1 member c""'1 and the c""'2 member c""'2, an inclusion Kc""'1, a sixth outward extending member K6 located opposite the third outward extending member K3, and an inclusion Kc""'2 are sandwiched and fastened together with bolts (not shown) and nuts (not shown), connecting the c""' member c""' to the turnip bundle K via the sixth outward extending member K6. The inclusion Kc'''''1 is located between the sixth protruding member K6 and the c'''''1 member c'''''1, and the inclusion Kc'''''2 is located between the sixth protruding member K6 and the c'''''2 member c'''2.
[0027] In the above-described framework, three frameworks, namely, the first framework 1, the second framework 2, and the third framework 3, are used, but in the present invention, four or more frameworks may be used, and at least two frameworks, namely, the first framework 1 and the second framework 2, are sufficient. Furthermore, the members constituting the first framework 1, the second framework 2, and the third framework 3 may be made of metal such as steel, or may be made of wood.
[0028] Therefore, the above-described tent structure T has at least first and second frames 1 and 2, and the first frame 1 has a shape that is convex upward in a front cross section with the turnip bundle K as its apex, and the a-member a and the a'-member a' are legs, and the second frame 2 has a shape that is convex upward in a front cross section with the turnip bundle K as its apex, and the a"-member a" and the a"'-member a"' are legs (see Figure 4).Therefore, as the members of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 (members abc and a'b'c', and members a"b"c" and a"'b"'c"') collapse, a structurally strong tent structure can be obtained by balancing out.
[0029] The method of assembling the frame may be, for example, a longitudinal a-member a, a longitudinal b-member b loosely connected to the a-member a, a longitudinal c-member c loosely connected to the b-member b and a bundle K, a longitudinal d-member d loosely connecting the middle of the c-member c, a longitudinal a'-member a', a longitudinal b'-member b' loosely connected to the a'-member a', and a longitudinal d'-member b' loosely connected to the b'-member b' and a bundle K. The first framework 1 has a c'-shaped c' member c' and a longitudinal d' member d' loosely connecting the middle of the c' member c', and the end of the a member a and the end of the a' member a' are abutted against an installation surface (e.g., a shoe stone 20), and the d member d and the d' member d' are lifted, for example, by human force, and after lifting, the loosely connected parts, the middle of the d member d and the b member b, and the middle of the d' member d' and the b' member b' are tightened (see Figure 4).
[0030] According to this method of assembling the frame, the ends of the a member a and the a' member a' are abutted against the installation surface (for example, shoe stone 20), and the d member d and d' member d' (diagonal members, diagonal brace members) are lifted, for example, by human strength, and after lifting, the loosely connected parts, the middle of the d member d and the b member b, and the middle of the d' member d' and the b' member b' are tightened, so the frame can be easily assembled without the need for heavy machinery or scaffolding.
