Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a protection and storage shelter for means of transport in general and for campers in particular, it being understood that the shelter according to the invention can be applied to other means of transport such as boats, caravans, trailers and the like.
  • camper owners generally seek covered parking areas and stopping places. However, covered parking areas are rare and in any case costly.
  • Object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by providing a shelter for means of transport that is light, transportable and easy to mount and use.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a shelter for means of transport that is versatile and suitable to be applied to different types of vehicles.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a shelter for means of transport that is efficient and able to provide adequate thermal insulation of the vehicle.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a shelter that can be kept in a configuration occupying the least space when it is not in use, in particular easily storable in a luggage compartment of a vehicle.
  • the shelter for means of transport in particular campers, comprises an inflatable supporting structure and a waterproof cover sheet disposed on said supporting structure so as to form a shelter within which to store the vehicle.
  • Provision of the inflatable supporting structure allows rapid, simple setting-up of the shelter.
  • the covering sheet is tensioned, so as to take on the shape of the framework of the supporting structure, forming a cover for the means of transport.
  • the supporting structure can be deflated, so as to be in a configuration occupying the least space, so that it can be stored in a special container and transported easily.
  • Such a shelter can easily be mounted by any operator in any open space, without any special permit.
  • the shelter 1 comprises a pneumatic supporting structure or frame 2 supporting a waterproof covering sheet 3.
  • the supporting structure 2 comprises at least two arches 21 integral with respective uprights 23 destined to rest on the ground.
  • the arches 21 are connected to each other by means of longitudinal members 22, 24.
  • Upper longitudinal members 22 whose ends are connected to respective upper knots 25a of the arch, and longitudinal side members 24 whose ends are connected to respective side knots 25 of the arch are provided.
  • the supporting structure 2 has four arches 21 arranged parallel to each other and connected at the top by means of three upper longitudinal members 22 and at the sides by means of three longitudinal side members 24 on each side.
  • the shelter 1 takes on a substantially tunnel shape and is of such a size as to allow a means of transport such as a vehicle, a caravan, a trailer, a boat, etc. to be accommodated easily.
  • the arch 21, the uprights 23 and the longitudinal members 22 and 24, are tubular elements obtained by closing portions of rubberised or plasticised fabric longitudinally, on the bottom end and at the knots 25, 25a. Perfectly tight closure of these elements is obtained with the technology typical of the materials used.
  • cold vulcanization is carried out with self-vulcanizing solutions after treatment of the surfaces to be closed.
  • closure is achieved by high frequency welding or by use of special two-component adhesives.
  • tubular elements of the arch 21, of the longitudinal members 22 and 24 and of the uprights 23 are advantageously of the same diameter.
  • the length and number of the tubular elements making up the supporting framework 2 can vary according to the size of the vehicle to be accommodated and, therefore, of the tunnel to be created.
  • the supporting structure 2 is obtained by inflating the shaped tubular elements joined to one another. Inflation of the supporting structure 2 takes place by means of one or more inflation and deflation valves 4 situated on one or more tubular elements.
  • one or more inflation and deflation valves 4 situated on the uprights 23 are provided.
  • a single valve or more than two valves can also be provided and in any case the valve must be positioned so as to be readily accessible, thus advantageously in the bottom part of the uprights 23.
  • Electric or manual pumps may be used for inflation.
  • the working pressure of the supporting structure 2 must not be lower than 0.12 BAR. Deflation of the supporting structure 2 takes place by opening the inflation and deflation valves 4 used for inflation.
  • connection and perfect air tightness between all the tubular elements of the supporting structure allows rapid inflation of the entire supporting structure 2, giving the covering sheet 3 the configuration of a tunnel ( Figure 1) with a roof having a substantially semi-cylindrical shape 32 and vertical sloping walls 33.
  • the covering sheet 3 is rectangular in shape when it is spread on a flat surface.
  • a plurality of coupling means 30, such as laces or eyelets, destined to couple with the tubular elements of the supporting structure 2.
  • fixing means such as Velcro strips or press studs able to couple with matching fixing means provided on the tubular elements of the supporting structure 2 may be provided on the sheet 3.
  • guys 5 adapted to be fixed in special rings 50 (Figure 1) disposed near the bases of the uprights 23 of the supporting structure.
  • the rings 50 can be planted in the ground or connected directly to the bases of the uprights 23 which are disposed on the ground.
  • further means of anchoring to the ground can be provided, such as D-shaped eyelets or rings, for anchoring to the ground by means of pickets.
  • Figure 5 shows a variant of the sheet of the shelter 1, which has a rectangular opening 35 near a side portion 33 thereof.
  • the opening 35 acts as an entry and exit door for the user of the vehicle that is to be placed under the shelter 1.
  • the opening 35 can be formed by means of two parallel cuts so as to define a rectangular strip of sheet which covers the opening and can easily be moved aside by the user or rolled up to form a roll 36 disposed above the opening 35.
  • Characteristics of the waterproofed fabric (rubberised or plasticised) of the inflatable supporting structure weight > 1000 gr/mq (UNI 4818-74 p.3) breaking load O/T > 2500 N/5cm (ISO 1421) joined strip breaking load breaking outside join (UNI 4818-74 p.6) resistance to tearing > 200 N resistance to temperatures - 35°C + 70°C resistance to combustion self/extinguishing air permeability Kpa 200 (iSO 1420) PI NK STAIN resistance to fungi no stain ASTM.E-21-80 resistance to moulds no growth resistance to ozone (50 p.p.h.m 12 mm - 30°C - 24h) resistant
  • the polystyrene covering sheet can be spread on both sides with a mixture of polymers and/or co-polymers of vinyl chloride with a tensile strength equal or greater than 2,5000 N.
