Abstract:
The collapsible shelter (10) has a canopy (12) that can be raised above the upper level of the leg assembly (18) in an extended configuration. A perimeter truss linkage assembly (30) connected to the leg assembly (18), and two or more central truss pairs of link members (42) are provided, with each of the central truss pairs (42) connected to the inner ends of one of the perimeter truss pairs (32) on a side. At least one vertically oriented central support member (52) for supporting the canopy (12) above the upper level of the leg assembly (18) is provided, and preferably three central support members (52, 62) are provided, including at least one vertically oriented inner central support member (52), and at least two peripheral central support members (62). The central support members (52) comprise upper and lower telescoping sections (54, 56), with the upper telescoping section (54) having an upper end (58) for supporting the canopy (12). The central support members (52) have an internal stop member (60) in their lower telescoping section (56) for supporting the upper telescoping section (54) of the central support member (52), such that when the shelter (10) is in the extended configuration, the lower telescoping section (56) supports the upper telescoping section (54) and raises the upper end of the upper telescoping section (54) above the upper ends of the leg assembly (18).
