Metal Tent Supports. Those fond of camping out will be glad to hear of a new contrivance consisting con-sisting of a combined tent frame and cot, which dispenses with cumbersome poles and simplifies the question of how to move one's sleeping accommodation accommo-dation from place to place. The new tent supports are of light angle iron, and the longer pieces as well as those forming the cots which go with each tent are jointed so that they may be folded up when necessary. The frames of the cots are suspended from the uprights up-rights by two coil springs, used for the same purpose as springs in the ordinary or-dinary house-bed. During the day the cots can be folded up against the tent frame and well out of the road, by releasing one of the springs at each end.
