Quick assembly tent framework

A quick assembly tent framework comprising, a plurality of upright support members, a plurality of first and second scissor bars forming separable edge scissor assemblies through a plurality of upper and lower joint mounts and detachably connecting the upright support members together through a plurality of first stationary and slidable mounts, a center post supporting the top center of a flexible covering of a tent and having second stationary and slidable mounts, a plurality of third and fourth scissor bars forming roof scissor assemblies and connecting the second stationary and slidable mounts to the upper and lower joint mounts thus holding the center post, wherein

• each of said mounts is provided with a channel type socket for holding one end of an associated scissor bar, said socket being eccentrically formed on each mount with thick and thin sidewalls being formed on opposite sides of the socket, said thin sidewall being resilient thus elastically opening the socket when the scissor bar is hinged to the mount, each of said thick and thin sidewalls having a hinge bore and a hinge guide depression, said guide depression extending from an edge of each sidewall to the edge of the hinge bore;
• and
• two connection members are attached to both ends of each scissor bar in order to hinge each scissor bar to sockets of associated mounts, each of said connection members being axially slit to a depth thus forming a channel slit with resilient sidewalls being formed on opposite sides of said slit, each of said resilient sidewalls having a boss on its outside surface, said boss being guided by the guide depression and elastically snapped into the hinge bore when each scissor bar is jointed to an associated mount.
