A tent apparatus and method of manufacture are described herein. The tent apparatus may comprise a tent body, a frame, and/or other components. The tent body may include a first portion configured to be substantially enclosed within the bed of the pickup truck in an as-used mode of the tent apparatus, and a second portion that extends from the first portion such that the second portion is exposed to an environment above a bed of a pickup truck in the as-used mode. The frame may be integrally coupled to the tent body, and configured to articulate between a closed position and an open position. The frame may comprise a central hub coupled to the tent body at a central coupling point; and support members that extend from the central hub to coupling points on the tent body to integrate the frame with the tent body.

A device in the form of a pole clip which attaches to an exterior mounted tent support pole and provides two attachment points for multiple webbing loops found on the exterior or canopy of a tent, thus serving to spread the support provided by the support pole and provide additional interior volume to the tent.

A chemical protective shelter system for encapsulating an uncontaminated person or persons is presented. The chemical protective shelter system has a cover assembly extending a length between a top end and a bottom end and having interior surface and an exterior surface and an opening which can be opened and closed repeatedly while still sealing. The chemical protective shelter system includes a layer of a chemical adsorbent material capable of filtering chemical agents while allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through the material. The chemical protective shelter is specially adapted to house a plurality of people and facilitate a tent like function. The system also includes a port for auxiliary filtered air. The system may also include a powered air purifying respirator which positively pressures the interior space of the system.

System for covering flat surfaces that is installed on support structures formed by support poles (2) maintained in position by a network of tie-rods (3), both the support poles and the tie-rods being fixed on the surface by means of suitable pins. Said system comprises a plurality of pairs of elongated support elements (6, 6′) having a lower portion positioned on such poles (2) and being joined together in raised position in proximity to their upper end, to form a plurality of pairs of slopes on which protection nets or protection sheets (7) are positioned, which in open position cover the area below the support structure and which in closed position are compact and amassed between adjacent poles (2) of the same row; the movement from the open position to the closed one and vice versa being obtained through the sliding of the sheet along the support elements by means of movement means.

A tent with hubs positioned on the outer circumference of the tent, wherein the hub includes a plurality of pin rings that are configured to independently rotate at offset positions along a rotational axis to incrementally open and close the tent.

An integral tent structure and system that, through the use of flexible and specifically configured rib elements, along with selectively placed restraining elements to position and hold sections of the configured rib elements in proximity to each other, allows for easy folding, collapsing, storage, transportation, and then equally easy unfolding, assembly, and usage of the tent, is disclosed. The rib elements are designed to, with minimal directional force, fold, and collapse into a compact, readily storable configuration. The tent cover of the tent structure incorporates specifically placed connection and securing elements to provide means for securing the folded tent structure in the folded configuration. Because the rib elements are folded or collapsed with a resistive or expanding spring force, upon release of the securing elements, the integral tent structure automatically unfolds into the normal operative shape and configuration with little to no effort.

Systems, methods, and apparatus include a modular tent comprising an upper tent portion having a first base surface area, wherein the upper tent portion does not include a floor surface; and a base extension that includes a floor surface having a second base surface area, the second base surface area being larger than the first base surface area, wherein the base extension is removably secured to the upper tent portion, wherein the base extension, when secured to the upper tent portion, results in a base surface area of the modular tent increasing to the second base surface area.

A mosquito repellent and antibacterial tent includes a tent body, a first support bar and a second support bar. The tent body is formed by a base fabric entirely provided with a mosquito repellent agent and a waterproofing agent. An adhesive coating layer is provided on the base cloth. The tent body includes a plurality of first positioning parts. A side surface of the tent body has at least one opening. The first support bar and the second support bar are connected to the plurality of first positioning parts so as to be crossed to support the tent body. Thus, the mosquito repellent and antibacterial tent achieves mosquito repellent and antibacterial effects as well as being waterproof and sturdy.
