Abstract

A reinforced corner structure for cloth, especially a tent, capable of enabling the cloth corner to endure the dragging force coming from a cord installed therein and tied at a support and thus prolonging the life of the cloth. This reinforced corner structure comprises upper and lower plates For covering the upper and lower surfaces of the corner and reinforcing this corner. These upper and lower plates are integrally formed by a single injection molding of plastic material each other and each of them is an equilateral trapezoid in figure. This trapezoidal structure is opened at two sides but closed at the two other sides thereof, thereby allowing a cloth corner to be adjusted therein and preventing the corner of cloth from jutting out of the structure after the corner structure is fixed to the corner of cloth.
