Deployable shelter with inflatable frame
A deployable shelter having an inflatable frame arrangement over which is disposed a flexible, the shelter having a deployed configuration and a stowed configuration, which in the deployed configuration the inflatable frame comprises at least two arched frame members, at least one elongate upper frame member linking together the arched members and two elongate side members, each linking the leg portions of the arched members, the elongate side members connected to the leg portions of the arched frame members so as not to be in contact with the ground or base sheet, in use, and defining, on each leg portion, a foot projection configured to make contact with the ground or base sheet. The deployable shelter has the advantage, in addition to being portable and rapidly deployable through inflation of an inflatable frame, of being configured to minimise contact of inflatable elements with the ground, thereby decreasing the risk of puncture or damage to the inflatable frame, while increasing the proportion of the floor that can be removed. The tent cover may have skirts forming pockets for ballast.
