Abstract
The invention relates to a stable tent or shelter, particularly an open sided shelter, such as a hospitality test, comprising a roof and supporting legs. The roof has at least one frame for supporting a covering, the frame being provided with at least one hub and with stiff struts, the struts being hingably connected to the hub, in a plane perpendicular to the hub, and being hingable relative to the hub beyond a dead-center position, the struts being connected at their free ends with the perimeter of the covering. The shelter is characterized by a tensioning cord, for applying force to the free end of the struts in a direction perpendicular to the length of the strut and toward the center-line passing through the hub and for simultaneously connecting the free end of the roof strut, a leg associated with the strut and a roof skirt extending between adjacent struts, all of which cooperate to stabilize the shelter.
