The support unit according to claim 1, wherein the means of connecting comprise a sleeve allowing for the sliding of the means of connecting along the central mast, a segment provided at its upper end with a stop extending radially towards the exterior, means of connecting connecting the sleeve to the segment and a locking ring. 3. The support unit according to claim 1, wherein the means of quick locking include at least one radial orifice located on the flange, at least one tubular housing integral with the flange and extending radially towards the exterior of the flange to the right of the orifice, a stop located at the free end of said housing, a thrust member contained in the housing and pressing against the stop, and a mobile element passing partially through the orifice and arranged in order to be displaced in the housing under the action of the thrust member from a sliding position to a locking position. 4. The support unit according to claim 3, wherein in the locking position the mobile element comes to press against the annular face of the upper end of the central mast. 5. The support unit according to claim 4, wherein the means of quick locking comprise three orifices arranged in the same radial plane on the flange and of which the axes form an angle of 120 degrees between them, and three housing-stop-thrust member-mobile element units. 6. The support unit according to claim 3, wherein the means of quick locking comprise three orifices arranged in the same radial plane on the flange and of which the axes form an angle of 120 degrees between them, and three housing-stop-thrust member-mobile element units. 7. The support unit according to claim 1, wherein the central mast is a mast formed from at least two mobile elements in longitudinal translation in relation to one another. 8. The support unit according to claim 7, wherein the central mast comprises a lower element fixed on a solid body and at least one upper element sliding inside said lower element. 9. The support unit according to claim 8, wherein the flange is fixed on the upper element. 10. A lightweight shelter comprising: a support unit including: a central mast,means of connecting assembled slidingly on said central mast and arranged in order to be locked on said central mast,a flange assembled slidingly on said central mast, the flange being slidable between a sliding position and a locking position, the sliding position being further from an upper end of the central mast than the locking position, and the flange arranged in order to be locked relative to the central mast by means of quick locking of the snap-fitting type when in the locking position, anda plurality of cables having ends, one of the ends of each of the plurality of cables is fixed on said flange, anda roof element including a frame and a fabric,the frame arranged around the central mast of said support unit, the frame having a shape of a regular polygon, and being suspended by the plurality of cables of the support unit connected solely to fastening points of the frame arranged to a right of each top of the frame,the fabric being provided in its central portion with an orifice of which an edge defines an interior peripheral edge of said fabric, the fabric being fixed by its exterior peripheral edge on the frame and by its interior peripheral edge on the means of connecting of the support unit, the fabric being stretched between said frame and the support unit when the flange is locked in the locking position and the means of connecting is locked on the central mast, the locking position being disposed above the frame of the roof element when the fabric is stretched, the means of connecting being disposed below the frame of the roof element when the fabric is stretched and the means of connecting is locked on the central mast. 11. The lightweight shelter according to claim 10, wherein the frame is constituted of spars assembled to one another by their ends and in the shape of a regular polygon comprising an even number of tops, at least equal to six. 12. The lightweight shelter according to claim 11, wherein the spars each comprise a means of pre-stressing. 13. The lightweight shelter according to claim 12, wherein the means of pre-stressing is positioned in the vicinity of the middle of each spar and comprises a cable and an extendable stressing member and able to receive the cable. 14. The lightweight shelter according to claim 13, wherein the stressing member extends globally perpendicularly to the spar and is inclined in such a way as to be substantially parallel to the fabric of said lightweight shelter. 15.
