Abstract
A tent pole assembly includes multiple pole segments with a tension line running through them. Line centering components, such as spherical components threaded on the tension line, are provided between adjacent pole sections. Pole sections also include pole connectors, into which or over which adjacent pole sections may be removably positioned. When tension is applied to the tension line, the line centering components facilitate smooth insertion of adjacent pole sections into or over the pole connectors. Springs within the pole connectors or within the pole sections may facilitate ejection of adjacent pole sections upon release of tension from the tension line.
Claims22
A tent pole assembly comprising:
- two or more hollow pole sections comprising at least a first end pole section and a second end pole section, and optionally including one or more middle pole sections;
- a tension line passing through an interior cavity of each pole section, the tension line secured to a first end pole section and passing outside of a second end pole section;
- and
- one or more line centering components which the tension line passes, each line centering component positioned between adjacent pole sections and not fixedly attached to any of said pole sections.
