This invention is related to a tent constituted by portable elements adapted to be manually assembled and disassembled, said tent comprising a plurality of modules having substantially identical respective volumes and shapes, each module being constituted by at least one fabric panel and said modules being assembled by sewing or similar means, each module being supported by supporting means resting on the ground, said modules comprising each two lateral wall portions and a substantially triangular end wall portion, said two lateral wall portions having a common top edge, two rising end edges connected each to a rising edge of the end wall portion as well as two inner rising edges connected each to the rising inner edge of the adjacent lateral wall portion of the adjacent module, said modules being adapted to be supported each by said supporting means at an outer top point defined by the intersection of said rising edges of the associated end wall portion and said edge of the module in question, while each module is anchored to the ground by anchoring means known per se, each anchoring means being connected to a respective end of said rising edges.
A portable tent comprising at least three substantially similar modules made of a flexible web material, each module comprising (i) two generally quadrilateral side wall portions of identical respective shapes and dimensions and (ii) a substantially triangular end wall portion having two rising edges and a lower edge, the side wall portions of each module having a top edge spaced from the ground when the tent is erected, said top edge extending between an outer top end and an inner top end thereof, each side wall portion further having a bottom edge extending between an inner bottom end and an outer bottom end thereof, the bottom edges of each module being parallel and located adjacent the ground when the tent is erected, each side wall portion also having an outer rising edge extending between said outer top end and said outer bottom end thereof, and an inner rising edge extending between said inner top end and said inner bottom end thereof, the respective top edges of the two side wall portions of every module being coextensively and permanently connected to each other to form a common top edge, the outer rising edges of said side wall portions of each module being coextensively and permanently connected to respective rising edges of the associated triangular end wall portion, the inner rising edge of one of the side wall portions of each module being coextensively and permanently connected to an inner rising edge of one side wall portion of an adjacent module and the inner rising edge of the other side wall portion of each said module being coextensively and permanently connected to the inner rising edge of one side wall portion of another adjacent module, the common top edges of all of said modules meeting at the inner top ends thereof to define a symmetrical enclosure, said tent further comprising a plurality of substantially rigid elongated supporting means, each means supporting one of said outer top ends when said tent is erected, a portion of each of said supporting means being adapted to rest on the ground.
