The quickly erectable dome shelter includes an extendible perimeter truss assembly with link members connected between adjacent legs, a central truss assembly of link members, and a roof framework, including pairs of curved upper and lower peak truss members, that is movable between a lowered, collapsed configuration and a raised, upwardly arching position. The shelter also includes telescoping peak pole members coupled to the central truss assembly of link members and the roof framework, and may also include telescoping peak truss brace members connected between a peak truss member and a link member of the perimeter assembly of link members.

The invention claimed is: 1. A quickly erectable dome shelter having opposing front and rear sides and opposing lateral sides, comprising: an extendible perimeter truss assembly having front, rear and opposing lateral sides, said extendible perimeter truss assembly including a plurality of legs and a plurality of perimeter truss pairs of link members connected between adjacent legs, each of said legs having an upper end and a lower end, and each of said perimeter truss pairs of link members including first and second link members having inner ends and outer ends; a roof framework pivotally mounted to the extendible perimeter truss assembly so as to extend across the shelter in an extended raised, upwardly arching configuration, and said roof framework being movable between a lowered, collapsed configuration and the raised, upwardly arching position, said roof framework including a plurality of articulated peak truss assemblies each including a plurality of first and second pairs of curved upper peak truss members and curved lower peak truss members; a central truss assembly of link members connected between the front and rear sides of the extendible perimeter truss assembly, and connected between the opposing lateral sides of the extendible perimeter truss assembly to stabilize and support the quickly erectable dome shelter; and a plurality of telescoping peak pole members having upper ends and lower ends, said plurality of telescoping peak pole members being pivotally and slidably coupled to the central truss assembly of link members, and wherein said plurality of telescoping peak pole members are pivotally connected to corresponding ones of the plurality of articulated peak truss assemblies at the upper ends of the telescoping peak pole members. 2. The quickly erectable dome shelter of claim 1, wherein said central truss assembly of link members includes a plurality of central truss pairs of link members having inner ends and outer ends, and wherein the inner ends of the central truss pairs of link members are connected to at least one vertically oriented central telescoping peak pole member provided to support the canopy when the shelter framework is in an extended configuration. 3. The quickly erectable dome shelter of claim 2, wherein said central telescoping peak pole member comprises a hollow lower peak pole slider tube and an upper peak pole shaft slidably disposed within the hollow lower peak pole slider tube, said upper peak pole shaft including an upper end with a central peak pole tip member affixed at the top end of the upper peak pole shaft. 4. A quickly erectable dome shelter having opposing front and rear sides and opposing lateral sides, comprising: an extendible perimeter truss assembly including a plurality of legs and a plurality of link members connected between adjacent legs, each of said legs having an upper end and a lower end; a roof framework pivotally mounted to the extendible perimeter truss assembly so as to extend across the shelter in an extended raised, upwardly arching configuration, said roof framework including a plurality of articulated peak truss assemblies, and said roof framework being movable between a lowered, collapsed configuration and the raised, upwardly arching position; a central truss assembly of link members including central truss pairs of first and second link members having inner ends and outer ends connected between the front and rear sides of the extendible perimeter truss assembly, and connected between opposing lateral sides of the extendible perimeter truss assembly to stabilize and support the quickly erectable dome shelter; a plurality of telescoping peak pole members each having upper and lower ends, said plurality of telescoping pole members being pivotally and slidably coupled to the central truss assembly of link members and pivotally connected to corresponding ones of the plurality of articulated peak truss assemblies at the upper ends of the telescoping peak pole members, the inner ends of the central truss pairs being connected to at least one vertically oriented central telescoping peak pole member provided to support the canopy when the shelter framework is in an extended configuration; and a central peak pole slider member pivotally connected to the inner ends of said central truss pairs of link members, and wherein the inner ends of each of the first link members of the central truss pairs of link members are pivotally connected to the lower end of said at least one vertically oriented central telescoping peak pole member, and the inner ends of each of the second link members of the central truss pairs of link members are pivotally connected to the central peak pole slider member. 5. The quickly erectable dome shelter of claim 4, wherein said plurality of telescoping peak pole members comprises front side and rear side vertically oriented side telescoping peak pole members, provided to support the canopy when the shelter framework is in an extended configuration.
