Abstract

A collapsible support frame for a hammock (5) comprises a frame body (1) formed from a longitudinal member (2) and three struts at each of the two ends of the longitudinal member (2). Two of the struts serve as foot struts (3) and the third strut serves as a supporting arm (4) with an attachment point (15) for the hammock (5). The three struts at the two ends of the longitudinal member (2) and also the foot struts (3) at the opposite ends of the longitudinal member (2) are connected to one another, in each case, by tension means (12, 20) engaged at the strut ends. The struts can be folded out from an idle position, in which they are folded in against the longitudinal member (2), into a working position in which they are splayed out from the longitudinal member (2), and the attachment point (15) for the hammock (5) on the two supporting arms (4) is provided on one arm of a double-armed pivot lever (13), with the tension means (14) for the two foot struts (3) engaging on the other arm of said pivot lever.
