Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 .- 13 . (canceled) 
     
     
         14 . A tent support structure comprising:
 a frame component; and   an insert fastened to the frame component,   wherein the frame component is formed with an insert opening, wherein the frame component is formed as a hollow profile with the insert opening,   wherein the insert comprises a receptacle for a rod, and   wherein the receptacle protrudes through the insert opening into the frame component.   
     
     
         15 . The tent support structure according to  claim 14 , wherein the receptacle of the insert is formed as a blind hole, cylindrically, or both. 
     
     
         16 . The tent support structure according to  claim 14 , wherein the receptacle of the insert forms a receptacle opening on an outside of the frame component, wherein the receptacle opening is arranged corresponding to the insert opening. 
     
     
         17 . The tent support structure according to  claim 14 , wherein the receptacle of the insert has a longitudinal extension direction which extends transversely to a normal direction of the insert opening. 
     
     
         18 . The tent support structure according to  claim 14 , wherein the insert is configured to be fastenable to the frame component in a predetermined orientation. 
     
     
         19 . The tent support structure according to  claim 14 , wherein the insert has a fastening region which abuts against an outside of the frame component proximate to the insert opening. 
     
     
         20 . The tent support structure according to  claim 14 , wherein the insert is fastened to the frame component by a fastening element, or
 wherein the frame component has a fastening opening adjacent to the insert opening,   wherein the fastening element extends through the fastening opening, or   wherein the fastening element fastens the insert to the frame component at the fastening region, wherein the fastening element extends through the fastening region.   
     
     
         21 . The tent support structure according to  claim 14 , wherein the insert is formed from a material which comprises zinc, the frame component is formed from an aluminum material, and
 wherein the tent support structure comprises the rod arranged in the receptacle of the insert, wherein the rod is formed from a steel material.   
     
     
         22 . The tent support structure according to  claim 14 , wherein the tent support structure forms at least one base platform, wherein the frame component is a part of the base platform. 
     
     
         23 . A tent comprising:
 a tent shell; and   a tent support structure comprising:
 a frame component; and 
 an insert fastened to the frame component; 
   wherein the frame component is formed with an insert opening, wherein the frame component is formed as a hollow profile with the insert opening,   wherein the insert comprises a receptacle for a rod, and   wherein the receptacle protrudes through the insert opening into the frame component,   wherein the tent support structure at least partially spans the tent shell.   
     
     
         24 . The tent according to  claim 23 , wherein the rod is fastened in the receptacle of the insert and at least partially spans a tent door, an over-tent, or a tent window. 
     
     
         25 . The tent according to  claim 23 , wherein the tent is configured as a roof tent or a trailer tent. 
     
     
         26 . A tent support structure, comprising:
 a frame component forming a hollow profile; and   an insert configured to fasten to the frame component,   wherein the insert is configured to fasten to the frame component of the tent support structure,   wherein the insert comprises a receptacle for a rod, and   wherein the receptacle is configured to protrude through an insert opening of the frame component into the frame component when the insert is fastened to the frame component.
