Anti-ponding foldable canopy tent
An anti-ponding foldable canopy tent including a tent frame assembly, a ceiling assembly, and a tarpaulin is provided. The ceiling assembly is mounted on the tent frame assembly. The tarpaulin is disposed on the ceiling assembly. The ceiling assembly includes a central lock mechanism and multiple foldable arm mechanisms annularly distributed about a periphery of the central lock mechanism. The ceiling assembly also includes multiple elastic rod mechanisms annularly distributed about the periphery of the central lock mechanism. A first end of each of the elastic rod mechanisms is rotatably connected to the central lock mechanism. A second end of each of the elastic rod mechanisms is connected to the tarpaulin for tensioning the tarpaulin. When the foldable canopy tent is in an extended state, the elastic rod mechanisms support the tarpaulin tightly to preclude ponding on the tarpaulin. The tarpaulin is elastic during tensioning, which precludes ponding.
1. An anti-ponding foldable canopy tent comprising:
a tent frame assembly;
a ceiling assembly mounted on the tent frame assembly, wherein the ceiling assembly comprises a central lock mechanism and a plurality of foldable arm mechanisms annularly distributed about a periphery of the central lock mechanism; and
