  • the roof assembly 100 is a substantially pyramidal shaped.
  • Eave assemblies 104 A-D extend between each corner connector 102 to substantially form a square.
  • the eave assemblies 104 A-C are identical but eave assembly 104 D includes a tightening mechanism 130 as described hereinbelow.
  • the tightening mechanism 130 moves along directional arrow 118 and, thereby, the eave assembly 104 D expands along directional arrow 119 .
  • a cable assembly 106 extends between the corner connectors 102 to support a center post 110 in an upright position.
  • the cable assembly 106 includes one or more cables, cords, elastics, ropes, other similar structures or combinations thereof that extend across and above the eave assemblies 104 to help establish the pyramidal shape.
  • two cables 184 extend diagonally across the substantially square shape formed by the eave assemblies 104 in a substantially horizontal manner.
  • Additional cable 185 extends diagonally upward from each corner connector 102 to the center post 110 .
  • the center post 110 forms a central apex 22 in the tarpaulin 20 .
  • the tightening mechanism 130 includes a first tube 132 that functions as part of the eave assembly 104 D by interconnecting therewith.
  • a hinge 134 , a sleeve 136 and pin 138 pivotally mount a lever 140 on the first tube 132 .
  • a grip 142 mounts on the lever 140 to provide a secure surface for a user.
  • the first tube 132 also defines an axially elongated slot 144 into which an arm 146 extends. At one end 148 , the arm 146 passes through the slot 144 .
  • a pair of nuts 154 secure the end 150 to an axle 156 rotatably disposed within the lever 140 . As a result, the arm 146 moves axially within the slot 144 when the lever 140 rotates.
  • a second tube 158 is radially smaller than the first tube 132 so that the second tube 158 can slideably extend within the first tube 132 .
  • the second tube 158 defines a hole 160 that aligns with the slot 144 for capturing the end 148 of the arm 146 .
  • the second tube 158 couples to a third tube 160 .
  • the third tube 160 forms a shoulder 162 for coupling to the second tube 158 and spring loaded buttons 164 for coupling to the corner connector 102 as shown in FIG. 7 .
  • the lever 140 is shown upright prior to expanding the eave assembly 104 D, e.g., the disassembled position.
  • the second tube 158 has been moved along arrow 166 within the first tube 132 by rotating the lever 140 along arrow 168 .
  • the overall size of the roof assembly 100 is reduced to create slack in the cable assembly 106 .
  • the lever 140 is shown adjacent to the eave assembly 104 D after expanding the eave assembly 104 D, e.g., the assembled position.
  • the second tube 158 has been moved along arrow 170 by rotating the lever 140 along arrow 172 .
  • the overall size of the roof assembly 100 is increased to create tension in the cable assembly 106 .
