Collapsible outdoor structure

An internal collapsible frame for use with an outdoor living structure comprising:

• a center tube assembly including a center tube including a top end portion and a bottom end portion;
• a top hub fixably attached to the center tube in the vicinity of the top end thereof;
• a slidable hub arranged on the center tube and slidable movable between the top end portion and a bottom end portion;
• a plurality of ceiling tube assemblies each including a first end and a second end, each first end being pivotably attached to the slidable hub and each second end being attached to an outer corner connection assembly;
• a plurality of hinged strut assemblies each including a first end and a second end and being capable of folding about a hinge, each of the first and second ends of the hinged strut assemblies being attached to a ceiling tube end cap of the outer corner connection assembly;
• wherein when the internal collapsible frame is being erected by the application of an upward force to the slidable hub and causing the distance between neighboring outer second ends of the ceiling tube assemblies to increase, the ends of the hinged strut assemblies are configured to i) pivot with respect to a top surface of the ceiling tube end cap, and ii) rotate about a central axis of the hinged strut assembly.

A collapsible structure comprising:

• an internal collapsible frame;
• a fabric roof securable to the internal collapsible frame;
• the internal collapsible frame including:
• a center tube assembly including a center tube including a top end portion and a bottom end portion;
• a top hub fixably attached to the center tube in the vicinity of the top end thereof;
• a slidable hub slidably arranged on the center tube;
• a plurality of roof tube assemblies each including a first proximal end and a second distal end, each first proximal end being pivotably attached to the top hub;
• a plurality of ceiling tube assemblies each including a first proximal end and a second distal end, each first proximal end being pivotably attached to the sliding hub and each second distal end being attached to an outer corner connection assembly;
• and
• a plurality of hinged strut assemblies each including a first end and a second end and being capable of folding about a hinge, each of the first and second ends of the hinged strut assemblies being attached to a ceiling tube end cap of a respective outer corner connection assembly and being capable of pivoting and rotating with respect to the ceiling tube end cap.
