A rainwater harvesting apparatus and system for an emergency shelter includes a platform defining an aperture. A threaded fastener is inserted through the aperture and is rotatable through the aperture. A planar panel assembly is fastened to the platform by the threaded fastener. The planar panel assembly is configured to move on the threaded fastener along a longitudinal axis of the threaded fastener as the threaded fastener is rotated through the aperture in the platform. A canopy is secured to the planar panel assembly, such that a segment of the canopy moves together with the planar panel assembly along the longitudinal axis of the threaded fastener as the planar panel assembly moves on the threaded fastener.

The present invention relates to an easily assembled and disassembled shade-providing structure, such as may be mounted to a playground assembly. The shade-providing structure comprises an outer frame defining an interior space and a canopy that may be positioned in that interior space. The canopy has one or more rods around its periphery, such as may be inserted through one or more pockets in the canopy fabric. Each of the outer frame and the rod(s) has a set of apertures configured to receive a locking fastener and a set of apertures configured to receive a jack screw or similar tensioning device. Accordingly, to assembly the structure, one or more jack screws can be used to provide the canopy with a desired tension and then locking fasteners can be used to secure the canopy to the outer frame.

A spherical tent frame includes a plurality of support rods and a plurality of connecting members, each of the connecting members is provided with at least two connectors and each of the connectors is axially embedded with a socket; wherein an annular groove is provided in a position of the inner wall of the socket close to the bottom, and a plurality of elastic pieces pointing to the center of the bottom of the socket are arranged along the upper edge of the annular groove; both ends of each of the support rods are inserted to the socket to form a hemispherical frame put up with triangles as a unit and the connecting member as a vertex.

The present utility model provides a spherical tent frame, comprising a plurality of support rods and a plurality of connecting members, each of the connecting members is provided with at least two connectors and each of the connectors is axially embedded with a socket; wherein an annular groove is provided in a position of the inner wall of the socket close to the bottom, and a plurality of elastic pieces pointing to the center of the bottom of the socket are arranged along the upper edge of the annular groove; both ends of each of the support rods are inserted to the socket to form a hemispherical frame put up with triangles as a unit and the connecting member as a vertex. For the technical solution of this utility model, according to the principle of stability of the triangle, the support rods are set up to a hemispherical frame in a unit of triangle by various multi-head connecting members, with aesthetic appearance, and the frame structure is firm and not easily deformed, and with the elastic pieces in the socket, the support rod is not easily fallen off or loosen from the connecting member after stressed, which assists in enhancing the overall stability of the tent frame and is convenient and quick to install.

The present invention relates to an easily assembled and disassembled shade-providing structure, such as may be mounted to a playground assembly.

Accordingly, to assembly the structure, one or more jack screws can be used to provide the canopy with a desired tension and then locking fasteners can be used to secure the canopy to the outer frame.

A quick assembly tent is provided which may be quickly assembled and disassembled without using any tools or requiring know-how by the user. The tent includes a dynamic platform that can rotate about an x-axis along a platform pivot from a closed position to an open position. The tent may be configured to be mounted on a vehicle. The tent may include a rain fly and an entry ladder. The tent may be configured to deploy simply by pivoting the dynamic platform from a closed to an open position. Methods for assembling a quick assembly tent are also provided.
