The invention provides an improved collapsible tent and tent frame of the umbrella type. The frame includes a plurality of legs pivoted, at the upper ends of the legs, to an upper clevis member. Each leg has pivoted thereto a radial stay member spaced downwardly from the upper end of the leg. The stay member extends inwardly of the tent to be pivoted to the lower clevis. The upper clevis includes a central downwardly opening recess and the lower clevis has fixed thereto an upperwardly projecting post or rod which is adapted to engage the upper clevis so as to stop movement of the lower clevis. Each leg comprises an elongated lower section which can be relatively stiff. The upper end of the lower section is pivoted to an upper section which is relatively flexible and resilient so that the upper portion of the legs can conform to the dome of the sheet material forming the tent cover or ceiling.

In an umbrella tent frame, the combination of a plurality of legs each comprising a lower portion, an upper portion, and a pivot connector interconnecting the lower and upper portions; a clevis assembly comprising an upper clevis member, a lower clevis member, and stop means supported by the lower clevis member and projecting toward the upper clevis member and constructed and arranged to engage the upper clevis member to limit movement of the lower clevis member toward the upper clevis member; a plurality of radial pivot members each fixed to a different one of the upper leg portions; and a plurality of brace members each having one end pivoted to one of the radial pivot members and the other end pivoted to the lower clevis member wherein each of the leg portions is in the form of a hollow tubular polymeric extrusion; and wherein the leg portions have transverse cross sections in the form of a rectangle with longer sides and shorter sides, the longer sides of the cross sections of the lower leg sections extending toward the interior of the tent frame when the frame is erected.
