1. A deployable tent comprising:
a frame comprising a first base part and a second base part mounted pivotably with respect to the first base part, about an axis of pivot, between a folded position in which the second base part rests above the first base part, and an unfolded position in which the first and second base parts extend side-by-side in a base plane, in such a way as to form a base for the tent, the frame further comprising at least a first pole mounted pivotably with respect to at least one of the first and second base parts about a first axis of rotation parallel to said axis of pivot, said first pole being configured to extend transversely to the base plane when the frame is in the unfolded position and to extend between the first base part and the second base part when the frame is in the folded position; and
a tent canvas interacting with the frame comprising:
a canvas body, comprising at least a first wall of the tent canvas; and
at least a first canopy delineated from the canvas body by a connecting line extending between a first lateral apex located on a first side of said first wall and a second lateral apex located on a second side of the first wall, opposite the first side, the connecting line comprising a first connecting line portion extending between a first upper apex of said connecting line and the first lateral apex, and a second connecting line portion extending between said first upper apex and said second lateral apex, said first canopy further comprising a free distal edge distant from the connecting line and extending between said first and second lateral apices, the free distal edge comprising a first edge portion extending between a first distal apex of the free distal edge and the first lateral apex and a second edge portion extending between said first distal apex and the second lateral apex, the tent further comprising at least a first reinforcement extending between the first distal apex and the canvas body, said first reinforcement being furthermore articulated pivotably with respect to the first wall of the tent canvas in at least a first lower part disposed below said first upper apex, such that the first reinforcement extends under said first canopy when the frame is unfolded, said first reinforcement being able to take a folded-down position in which it extends against the canvas body when the frame is placed in the folded position, and a deployed position in which it protrudes transversely to the first wall of the tent canvas,
wherein bringing the frame from the folded position to the unfolded position causes the first and second connecting line portions and the first and second edge portions to be tensioned and to exert a force on the first reinforcement thereby pivoting said first reinforcement with respect to the canvas body toward the base plane, from the folded-down position into the deployed position such as to deploy the first canopy with respect to the canvas body, and wherein bringing the frame from the unfolded position to the folded position causes the first reinforcement to pivot from the deployed position to the folded-down position.
