Abstract: Various implementations include a fully collapsible and portable tent. For example, in various implementations, the tent includes a frame assembly that includes two or more frame members and two hubs spaced apart from each other. Ends of the frame members are coupled to the hubs. At least one of the frame members is pivotably coupled to the hubs via pivotable brackets. The pivotably coupled frame member pivot about a first axis extending through each end of the pivotably coupled frame member and the respective pivotable bracket, and the pivotable brackets pivot about a second axis extending through the pivotable bracket and the respective hub, wherein the first axis is spaced apart from the first axis. The pivotable brackets allow the tent to be moved between the collapsed and expanded positions quickly and with minimal effort.

Abstract translation: 各种实施方案包括完全可折叠和便携式帐篷。 例如，在各种实施方式中，帐篷包括框架组件，其包括两个或更多个框架构件和彼此间隔开的两个毂。 框架构件的端部联接到轮毂。 框架构件中的至少一个可枢转地通过枢转支架联接到轮毂。 可枢转地联接的框架构件围绕延伸穿过可枢转地联接的框架构件的各个端部的第一轴线和相应的可枢转支架枢转，并且可枢转支架围绕延伸穿过可枢转支架和相应毂的第二轴线枢转，其中第一轴线 与第一轴分开。 可枢转支架允许帐篷快速地以最小的努力在折叠和膨胀的位置之间移动。
