- said top end of said central support member being hingedly secured at generally said rear end of said primary horizontal support member such that said central support member is able to pivot between an extended orientation, wherein said central support member is generally vertically disposed relative to the underlying support surface, and a collapsed orientation, wherein said central support member is folded into generally collapsed, parallel, relation with said primary horizontal support member,
- a secondary horizontal support member, said secondary horizontal support including a front end and a rear end,
- said front end of said secondary horizontal support member being hingedly secured to said rear end of said primary horizontal support member such that said secondary horizontal support member is able to pivot between an extended orientation, wherein said secondary horizontal support member is disposed in a generally horizontal orientation extending away from said rear end of said primary horizontal support member, and a collapsed orientation, wherein said secondary horizontal support member is folded into generally collapsed, parallel, relation with said primary horizontal support member,
- a rear support member, said rear support member including a bottom end and a top end,
- said top end of said rear support member being hingedly secured at generally said rear end of said secondary horizontal support member such that said rear support member is able to pivot between an extended orientation, wherein said rear support member is generally vertically disposed relative to the underlying support surface upon said secondary horizontal support being disposed in its extended orientation, and a collapsed orientation, wherein said rear support member is folded into generally collapsed, parallel, relation with said secondary horizontal support member,
- (b) a primary roof panel, said primary roof panel being constructed of at least one flexible material sheet and being disposed in spanning relation from said primary horizontal support member of said first opposite side section to said primary horizontal support member of said second opposite side section,
- said primary roof panel defining a primary roof portion upon said first and said second opposite side sections being disposed a spaced apart distance from one another, while still permitting said primary horizontal support members of said first and said second opposite side sections to be collapsible into adjacent, generally abutting relation with one another,
- (c) a secondary roof panel, said secondary roof panel being constructed of at least one flexible material sheet and being disposed in spanning relation from said secondary horizontal support member of said first opposite side section to said secondary horizontal support member of said second opposite side section,
- said secondary roof panel defining a secondary roof portion upon said first and said second opposite side sections being disposed said spaced apart distance from one another and said secondary horizontal support members of said first and said second opposite side sections being disposed in said extended orientation, while still permitting said secondary horizontal support members of said first and said second opposite side sections to be collapsible into adjacent, generally abutting relation with one another,
- (d) a front wall panel, said front wall panel being constructed of at least one flexible material sheet and being disposed to extend between said forward support member of said first opposite side section and said forward support member of said second opposite side section,
- said front wall panel defining a front wall portion upon said first and said second opposite side sections being disposed said spaced apart distance from one another and said forward support members of said first and said second opposite side sections being disposed in said extended orientation, while still permitting said first and said second opposite side sections to be collapsible into adjacent, generally abutting relation with one another,
- (e) a rear wall panel, said rear wall panel being constructed of at least one flexible material sheet and being disposed to extend between said rear support member of said first opposite side section and said rear support member of said second opposite side section,
- said rear wall panel defining a rear wall portion upon said first and said second opposite side sections being disposed said spaced apart distance from one another and said rear support members of said first and said second opposite side sections being disposed in said extended orientation, while still permitting said first and said second opposite side sections to be collapsible into adjacent, generally abutting relation with one another,
- (f) a first and a second primary side wall panel, said first and said second primary side wall panels being constructed of at least one flexible material sheet and being structured to be disposed between said primary horizontal support member, said forward support member and said central support member of said first and said second opposite side sections so as to define a pair of opposite primary side walls,
- (g) a first and a second secondary side wall panel, said first and said second secondary side wall panels being constructed of at least one flexible material sheet and being structured to be disposed between said secondary horizontal support member, said central support member and said rear support member of said first and said second opposite side sections so as to define a pair of opposite secondary side walls, and
- (h) said frame being selectively adjustable between a storage orientation, a partially raised orientation, and a fully raised orientation,
- said fully raised orientation including said first and said second opposite side sections disposed in said spaced apart distance from one another, said forward and said central support members disposed in said respective extended orientations, wherein said bottom ends of said forward and said central portions supportingly engage the underlying support surface, and said secondary horizontal support member and said rear support member disposed in said respective extended orientations, such that said bottom end of said rear support member supportingly engages the underlying support surface, thereby defining a complete tent enclosure,
- said partially raised orientation including said first and said second opposite side sections disposed said spaced apart distance from one another, said forward and said central support members disposed in said respective extended orientations, wherein said bottom ends of said forward and said central portions supportingly engage the underlying support surface, and said secondary horizontal support member and said rear support member disposed in said respective collapsed orientations, thereby defining a half tent enclosure, and
- said storage orientation including said secondary horizontal support members and said forward, said central, and said rear support members disposed in said respective collapsed orientations, and said first and said second opposite side sections disposed in said adjacent, generally abutting relation with one another, thereby defining a substantially compact, transportable unit.
