Abstract
Disclosed is a foldable frame which can be widely applied to instant tents which are easily installed or uninstalled and have a rectangular or square bottom surface of various sizes. With a head (100) of the foldable frame, a top plate (110) and a bottom plate (120) are engaged to each other in such a way that the center portion can be rotated in a state in which an upper ends (one end of the first rod) of the poles are respectively engaged to the rod engaging holes (111 and 111′; 121 and 121′) of the top and bottom plates (110 and 120) in a diagonal direction, so that the top and bottom plates of the head are automatically rotated according to various shapes of the rectangular or square bottom surface, thereby forming an intersection angle between the pole coupling portions formed on the head (an angle of intersection between both pole coupling portions of the head). Therefore, the foldable frame can be widely applied to the instant tent, regardless of the rectangular or square shape of the bottom surface of various sizes.
