Abstract

A collapsible shelter structure having a pair of collapsible frame means disposed at opposed ends thereof for supporting panel means 16, 17 which extend therebetween, wherein each collapsible frame means includes a braced lazy-tong structure which is designed to maintain the frames in erect disposition, and wherein bracing strut means 108, 109, 28, 27 are pivotally coupled to alternate outer apices of the lazy-tong structure for rendering the frame means both stable and rigid. To further enhance rigidity of the erect structure, the inner apices 59 are normally formed as a straight angle when the shelter structure is in erect form, with these inner apices forming a series of spaced points along a semicircle of fixed radius. The collapsible shelter means may be taken down and stored in collapsed form when desired, with generally rigid or durable base side panels 16, 17 being provided to protect the structure from inadvertent damage during use and during storage. Means may be provided for normally urging the bracing struts into engagement so as to provide a more stable and rigid structure, and furthermore means are provided for selectively disengaging the bracing strut means to enable the user to take the structure down into collapsed form. The bracing struts 27 may be locked in the extending position by means of an oven centre action and all the bracing struts may be released by operating a wire controlled mechanism adjacent the ground engaging links. <IMAGE>
