Abstract
A foldable tent is disclosed. The foldable tent comprises a roof having a tent canvas, a first mastless umbrella structure, a second mastless umbrella structure, and at least a first junction configured to connect in a hinged manner the distal end of a first rib of the first umbrella structure and the distal end of a first rib of the second umbrella structure, the foldable tent being able to assume a deployed position in which the first and second umbrella structures are in the open position and a folded position in which the first and second umbrella structures are in the closed position.

A foldable tent comprising a roof having:
- a tent canvas;
- a first mastless umbrella structure including a first upper hub, a first lower hub, a plurality of ribs connected in a hinged manner to the first upper hub and cooperating with the tent canvas, and a plurality of counter-ribs, each counter-rib of the first umbrella structure having a first end part connected in a hinged manner to one of the ribs of said first umbrella structure and a second end part connected in a hinged manner to the first lower hub, the ribs and counter-ribs of the first umbrella structure being arranged such that the first lower hub is movable relative to the first upper hub along a first direction of movement, said first umbrella structure being able to assume an open position and a closed position;
- a second mastless umbrella structure including a second upper hub, a second lower hub, a plurality of ribs connected in a hinged manner to the second upper hub and cooperating with the tent canvas, and a plurality of counter-ribs, each counter-rib of the second umbrella structure having a first end part connected in a hinged manner to one of the ribs of said second umbrella structure and a second end part connected in a hinged manner to the second lower hub, the ribs and counter-ribs of the second umbrella structure being arranged such that the second lower hub is movable relative to the second upper hub along a second direction of movement, said second umbrella structure being able to assume an open position and a closed position;
- and
- at least a first junction configured to connect in a hinged manner the distal end of a first rib of the first umbrella structure and the distal end of a first rib of the second umbrella structure,
- the tent being able to assume a deployed position in which the first and second umbrella structures are in the open position and a folded position in which the first and second umbrella structures are in the closed position.
