FRAME FOR SELF-SUPPORTING SHELTER
A frame is disclosed which comprises a plurality of support members, wherein each support member comprises a plurality of elongate support sections in co-linear arrangement and connected by over-centre hinged joints; whereby when the frame is in an erected self-supporting condition the hinged joints are in an open over-centre condition and each support member forms an arch and when the frame is in a collapsed condition the hinged joints are in a closed condition and the support members are folded. The frame may further comprise a flexible sheet material attached to the frame, and wherein when in the erected self-supporting condition, the flexible sheet material is stretched taut. The frame may be used for a collapsible shelter such as a tent or sunshade.
