Abstract
Abstract A corner connector assembly for a tent characterized as a two-part casting arranged for a floating relationship, the latter serving advantages in assembling struts or eave bars having crimped areas proximate the ends thereof which cooperate with projections on the inner surfaces of hollow arms forming part of the assembly. The arrangement also includes a vertical adjustment feature for the leg supporting the connector, such involving upper and lower members, the upper member being rotatable within the lower member by means of a bolt riding along a spring, to accommodate for variations in the terrain or other supporting surface.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
In combination with a two-part corner connector assembly defined as an outer member and an inner member, said outer member and said inner member each arranged to include arm portions at least one of which is vertically disposed, a tubular frame member defined as a leg interconnecting said vertically disposed arm portion, said tubular frame member including a first tubular member movable with respect to a second tubular member, said second tubular member supported on a receiving surface and seating a spring on its upper end which extends within said first tubular member, means securing said spring to said upper end of said second tubular member, and an elongated transverse member mounted on said first tubular member and extending across such between turns of said spring to selectively position said first tubular member and said two-part corner connector with respect to said receiving surface upon rotation of said first tubular member.
