Abstract
A portable cot which is light in weight, may be disassembled into a compact package but which forms a firm sleeping surface when assembled. The cot has a generally rectangular canvas surface with an elongated pocket along each side. Side rails are held in each of the pockets and three leg assemblies are affixed to the side rails by wire U-shaped legs pivotally attached to the bottom to a base bar and at the top to the side rails. Adjustable straps tighten the side rails against the legs and form a firm assembly with the base bars. The straps may be adjusted so that the bed can be made level even against a slanted surface.
