A quick set-up tent is formed from a flexible cover structure which internally carries a collapsible support structure defined by pivotally interconnected, telescopable pole members which, in their retracted positions, may be pivoted inwardly against one another to form an axially foreshortened pole bundle about which the collapsed cover structure may be conveniently wrapped to orient the tent in a compact cylindrical storage and transport configuration. The cover structure is defined by a floor section to which stake loops are attached for securing the floor section to the ground in a relatively taut configuration, and a wall section formed by at least three mutually angulated wall portions intersecuring at side edge juncture areas along which the pole members are extendable. From its compact storage and transport orientation the tent may be rapidly and easily erected simply by expanding the cover structure, staking the floor section down, and moving the pole members to their extended positions in which they are releasably locked.

A quick set-up tent comprising: collapsible and foldable flexible cover means expandable to a use position in which said flexible cover means may be supported to define an enclosed shelter, said flexible cover means having a floor section positionable along the ground, and a wall section having a lower edge portion secured to said floor section around its periphery; means for operatively securing peripheral portions of said floor section to ground stakes or the like to hold said floor section against the ground in a flattened, relatively taut configuration; and collapsible support frame means permanently carried internally by said flexible cover means for supporting the same in said use position, said collapsible support frame means being defined by at least three telescopable pole members each connected at both ends thereof to said wall section at spaced apart locations thereon for movement with said wall section as it is collapsed and expanded, each of said pole members having an end pivotally connected directly to one end of at least one other pole member, each of said pole members having a releasably lockable extended position usable to support a portion of said flexible cover means in said use position, and an axially foreshortened retracted position, said pole members in said retracted positions thereof being pivotable relative to one another into a side-by-side, axially foreshortened bundle having opposite end portions with substantially identical lateral dimensions, whereby said flexible cover means, when collapsed, may be suitably folded and wrapped around said bundle, generally between its opposite ends, to conveniently position said tent in a compact, generally cylindrical storage and transport configuration, said tent being rapidly and easily re-erectable simply by expanding said flexible cover means, operatively securing said floor section to the ground, and moving said pole members to their releasably locked extended positions.
