Tents

A tent (10), comprising:

• a tent frame (100) that, when assembled, forms an assembled tent frame (110) that is configured to support the tent (10) on a support surface (16) and define an inner space (12) between the assembled tent frame (110) and the support surface (16), wherein the tent frame (100) comprises a plurality of frame poles (114) that are interconnected in the assembled tent frame (110) to define the inner space (12) and support the tent (10) on the support surface (16);
• a plurality of clearance poles (130) that, when operatively coupled to the assembled tent frame (110), extend away from the inner space (12) to define an outer space (14);
• and
• a clearance mechanism (20) comprising a plurality of connectors (140), wherein each connector (140) of the plurality of connectors is configured to operatively couple a respective clearance pole (130) to the assembled tent frame (110) and to orient the respective clearance pole (130) to project in an upward direction at a clearance angle in the range of 2 degrees to 80 degrees relative to the support surface (16), wherein each connector (140) of the plurality of connectors (140) is configured to directly couple the respective clearance pole (130) to one or more frame poles (114) of the plurality of frame poles (114), and wherein each connector (140) of the plurality of connectors (140) is further configured to orient the respective clearance pole (130) to diverge from each of the one or more frame poles (114) to which the respective clearance pole (130) is directly coupled by the connector (140);
• wherein the plurality of frame poles (114) includes a first leg pole (112), a second leg pole (112), and a roof pole (111) that extends between and interconnects the first leg pole (112) and the second leg pole (112) in the assembled tent frame (110), wherein the plurality of connectors (140) includes a first connector (140) that is configured to directly couple the first leg pole (112) to a first end of the roof pole (111) and a second connector (140) that is configured to directly couple the second leg pole (112) to a second end of the roof pole (111), wherein the plurality of clearance poles (130) includes a first individual clearance pole (134) and a second individual clearance pole (134), wherein the first connector further (140) is configured to directly couple the first individual clearance pole (134) to the roof pole (111) and the first leg pole (112), and wherein the second connector (140) further is configured to directly couple the second individual clearance pole (134) to the second leg pole (112) and the roof pole (111);
• and
• wherein the first leg pole (112), the second leg pole (112), and the roof pole (111) define a first support frame within the assembled tent frame (110), wherein the roof pole (111) is a first roof pole (111), wherein the plurality of frame poles (114) further includes a second roof pole (111), a third leg pole (112), and a fourth leg pole (112) that are interconnected to define a second support frame in the assembled tent frame (110), wherein the plurality of connectors (140) further includes a third connector (140) that is configured to directly couple the third leg pole (112) to a first end of the second roof pole (111) and a fourth connector (140) that is configured to directly couple the fourth leg pole (112) to a second end of the second roof pole (111), wherein the plurality of clearance poles (130) further includes a third individual clearance pole (134) and a fourth individual clearance pole (134), wherein the third connector (130) is configured to directly couple the third individual clearance pole (134) to the third leg pole (112) and the second roof pole (111), and wherein the fourth connector (140) is configured to directly couple the fourth individual clearance pole (134) to the fourth leg pole (112) and the second roof pole (111).
