A shaft is inserted into the circular holes 41 and 42 bored at the ends of this shaft bearing part 40 and the connecting part 9b, and
is connected to the connecting portion 9c so that the angle can be freely adjusted. Alternatively, the connecting portion 9c may be made separate, and the connecting portions 9a and 9b may be integrated.

As the three-way joint 9, various other structures can be adopted using a ball joint or the like.

The frame of the decorative tent of the present invention is constructed by combining the above-mentioned parts as shown in Figs. By doing so, the following effects occur. In addition, in Figures 4 and 5, 4
8 connects the intermediate parts of each inclined frame member 8, 8a,
This is a horizontal frame material that aims to improve the strength of the entire frame and is used to hang a tensioning rope when stretching the tent cloth.

1. The frontage of the decorative tent can be easily changed by changing the number of angle members 4a, 4a connected by the joint 6.

2. Similarly, the height can be easily changed by changing the lengths of the vertical angle members 4b and the inclined frame members 8, 8a. The length of each part can be easily determined by cutting with a hacksaw, or parts of several different lengths can be prepared and combined as appropriate.

3. Also, changing the depth is possible by changing the connecting frame material 11,
This can be done by adjusting the lengths of the angle members 12 and changing the attachment positions to the angle members 4b up and down. That is, the upper end of each inclined frame member 8, 8a is attached to the joint 5 and the intermediate joint 6 so as to be rotatable about the horizontal axis, and the connection between the inclined frame member 8 and the connecting frame member 11 by the three-way joint 9 is also as described above. Since the angle between both frame members can be adjusted freely, when adjusting the depth, the lower connecting member 11, which is attached at right angles to the angle member 4b via the mounting plate 27 or directly, adjusts its length and Change the mounting position to the angle member 4b vertically.

Further, the intermediate connecting frame member 12, which is attached at right angles to the angle member 4b, has its length adjusted and is connected to the flat plate portions 29, 33 of the outer cylinder 25 and the inclined frame members 8, 8.
By changing the mounting position of the screw holes 31 and 35, the depth can be adjusted in the same way. These works can be easily carried out by on-site construction.

4. Frames for decorative tents of various sizes can be made from common parts, and troublesome welding work is not required, so even if each frame material is made of aluminum, it can be made from conventional steel pipes. It is not more expensive than a skeleton.

5. Transportation is easy because it can be assembled at the installation site.

6. By making the frame material from aluminum, there is no need for the painting work that was required each time the tent cloth was reupholstered in the case of a conventional steel pipe frame.
