Abstract
A tensioning device for the canvas of a light shelter in the shape of a tent on a supporting structure. The structure comprises a plurality of inclined bars whose lower ends are supported by anchoring device formed of a frame, maintained at a distance from the ground by supporting posts, at least two bars being connected at their respective upper ends by a rigid linking element which is connected to the upper end of at least one other bar by spacer device which is able to vary the distance separating the upper ends of the inclined bar in the horizontal plane in such a way as to cause a rotation toward the upper part of each bar around its lower end.
