UNITD STATES` PATENT OFFICE.
FRANCIS A. LEAVITT, on PORTLAND, MAINE.
IMPROVEMENT IN TENTS.
- Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 172,882, dated February 1, 1876 5 application filed May 17, 1873.
To all whom it may concern: i
Beit known that I, FRANCIS A. LEAvITT,
of Portland, inthe county of Cumberland and.
State of Maine, have invented a new and useful Improved Tent, of which the following is a specification: In the 4accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows the front elevation of the tent with my frame-work applied.A Fig. 2 shows the device in a circular frame. Fig. 3 shows the device in rectangular form. Fig. 4 shows the device extended to t in a company-hospital or large tent. f
The object of my invention is to produce a frame-work to be applied tov the interior ot' either a circular or rectangular tent, in order to keep the saine properly stretched or distended to increase the facility of striking and `setting the tent, and also to render the tent firmer and tighter when pitched. In the drawings the tent is represented by Aand the frame-work byB. This may be made in any convenient form, rectangular, circular, or otherwise, and of any convenient material. I ordinarily use light iron rods, which can be worked easily, joined together' at their ends 0r section-joints firmly, and is of reasonable cost, as well asvery durable; but I do not limit myself to any particular metal, or material, or method of working, for metal tubular rods can be advantageously used, and wooden or other frames can be easily and cheaply made for the same purpose [have now in view. This frame-work is placed in the inside of the tent and near the top of the wall, usu-A ally at the pointvwhere the wall joins the roof part, and now shown at a in the'drawing. It may be secured here by fastening it large tent, extra joints B may be inserted in` the sides at convenient points.- When this frame 'is placed in its proper position in the interior of the tent the point of the pole C is placed in the ring a at the peak, and the pole placed in a vertical position at the center of the tloor ofthe tent. 'By taking the' lower end of the vpole in `the hand, and passingthrough the door vot' the tent, it is allowed to drop gradually to the ground, The tent itself may otherwise be made or constructed in anyv ordinary or usual manner.
Having thus described my invention, what I-consider new, and desire to secure by Let- Y A frame or supporter for the eaves of a tent'composed of two pieces adapted to receive side sections, and combined with a pole p and tent, substantially as and for the purpose specified. l
FRANCIS' A. LEAVITT.
