  • the spreader 4 ′ is pushed upward closing to the static pivot hub 21 ′ under the elastic force of the spring 3 ′ so as to locate on the high position without any extra force.
  • the force exerted on the spreader 4 ′ by the user overcoming the long distance elastic force of the spring 3 ′ should be enough big, so as to bring inconvenient to the user, especially to the shorter, in order to reach the spreader 4 ′, they have to stand on tiptoe, even so the spreader 4 ′ is still not got so that the tent is not able to be opened, hence the open operation the tent is not convenient.
