Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a foldable tent which is easy in installation and has a wide habitant space. CONSTITUTION: When a lifting pivot metal fitting 5 is raised, first frame beams 4 and second frame beams 6 are extended approx. horizontally, extending also rods 9 and first poles 11 approx. horizontally. Because the first poles 11 and second poles 13 are deflected in the form of a proper arc, a habitable space is formed inside a tent sheet 14 suspended from the frame of a tent. A fly sheet 15 is pulled out by a rubber string 19 at six corners of it and, therefore, it is expanded over the tent to form in the shape of semi-sphere. Thus the test forms a double wall structure consisting of the tent sheet 14 and the fly sheet 16. When a lower column part is removed, a wide habitant space can be secured.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tent mainly used for camping.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Some tents of this type have substantially the same structure as a foldable umbrella. This tent has a seat attached to a skeleton formed by combining a plurality of bone rods, and the skeleton is opened and closed to open and close the seat.

The difference between such a tent and a foldable umbrella is that a stanchion held by hand is provided at the center of the foldable umbrella, whereas no stanchion is provided at the center of the tent. This is because if a stanchion is provided in the center of the tent, the stanchion interferes with the tent and deteriorates habitability.

For this reason, when the folding umbrella is opened, the center of the frame is pushed up along the stanchions, but when the frame of the tent is opened, the string tied to the center of the frame is pulled up through the top of the tent.

[0005]

However, if the tent is as tall as a person, it becomes difficult to pull up the center of the skeleton through the top of the tent. In this case, the tent was turned sideways or turned upside down to open the skeleton, and then the tent was returned to its original posture.

However, if the tent is turned sideways or upside down, it is easily affected by the wind, and the tent may be blown off by a slight amount of wind.

[0007] On the other hand, since the tent is often covered with a fly sheet, if the tent has a double wall, the fly sheet becomes unnecessary.

[0008] However, such a double-walled tent is for full-scale mountain climbing, has no general camping tent, has a complicated structure, and has not been provided at low cost.

Therefore, an object of the first invention is to provide a folding tent which is easy to set up and has a large living space.

On the other hand, an object of the second invention is to provide an inexpensive double-walled tent.

[0011]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a first aspect of the present invention is to provide a column and a pivotal support at the upper end of the column.
At least a plurality of first bone rods that radially open, an elevating body through which a support post penetrates, and a plurality of second bone rods that are pivotally supported by the elevating body and open radially, and each first bone rod and each first bone rod. A seat is attached to a skeleton formed by connecting two skeletons, and in a tent in which the skeleton opens and closes as the elevator moves up and down, the skeleton further includes engaging means for stopping the elevator to the upper side of the column, Below the engaging means, the pillar is detachably divided.

In this tent, the engaging means includes an engaging claw provided on the upper side of the column and an elastic body for urging the engaging claw outward, and the lower side of the detachable column is a pipe. However, the engaging claw may be pressed inward by being fitted to the upper side of the column.

Further, the seats may be attached to the inside and the outside of the frame to form a double wall.

On the other hand, the second aspect of the invention comprises a skeleton formed by combining a plurality of rods, and in a tent in which a seat is attached to this skeleton, each sheet is attached to the inside and outside of the skeleton to form a double wall. .

[0015]

In the tent according to the first aspect of the present invention, engaging means for stopping the elevating body on the upper side of the supporting column is further provided, and the supporting column is detachably divided below the engaging means. It can be pushed up alongside to open the skeleton and seat and then the lifting means can be stopped by means of the engagement means on the upper side of the column, after which the lower side of the column can be removed. In this way, when pushing the lifting body up along the pillar to open the frame and seat, that is, when opening the tent, even if the tent is higher than the height of a person, this tent should be laid sideways or upside down. There is no need to do it, and even if it receives the wind, it will not be blown away. In addition, since the lower side of the pillar is removed after the tent is opened, the comfortability is not deteriorated.

The engaging means comprises an elastic body and engaging claws,
The lower side of the removable strut is a pipe, and when the fitting claw is fitted to the upper side of the strut to press the engagement claw inward, if the pipe is removed, the elastic claw will cause the engagement claw to move. Are pushed out to engage with the lifting body, and the lifting body is hooked on the upper side of the column and stopped. Therefore, it is possible to remove the lower side of the column and hook the lifting body on the engaging claw at the same time.

If the seats are attached to the inside and outside of the frame to form a double wall, the fly sheet becomes unnecessary. Here, when the respective sheets are attached to the inside and the outside of the skeleton, since the skeleton is interposed between these sheets, these sheets are separated from each other. Therefore, it is not necessary to interpose a special one between the sheets, and it is not necessary to adopt a complicated structure.

On the other hand, also in the tent of the second aspect of the invention, since the respective sheets are attached to the inside and the outside of the frame to form a double wall, for the same reason, even though it is a double wall, it is simple. The structure is enough.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 schematically shows a cross section of an embodiment of the tent of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows the tent of this embodiment as viewed from above.

As seen from FIG. 2, this tent has a substantially regular hexagonal shape when viewed from above, and the column 1 is arranged at the center thereof. An upper pivot metal fitting 2 is fixed to the upper end of the pillar 1, and a cap 3 is screwed onto the upper metal fitting 2. As shown in FIG. 3, six first bone rods 4 are pivotally supported by the upper pivot metal fitting 2, and the first bone rods 4 are radially opened.

Further, the column 1 loosely penetrates the lifting / lowering pivot support fitting 5 and the annular stopper fitting 7, and the annular stopper fitting 7 is screwed under the lifting / lowering pivot support fitting 5. Six second bone rods 6 are pivotally supported on the lifting pivot support 5 as well as the upper pivot support 2, and the second bone rods 6 are radially opened.

The end of the first bone rod 4 is connected to the approximate center of the second bone rod 6. Further, the end of the second bone rod 6 has the first joint 8
It is connected to. Substantially the center of the first rod 4 and the first joint 8
A rod 9 is bridged between them. A first pole 11 is connected to the first joint 8, and a second pole 13 is connected to the first pole 11 via a second joint 12. That is, the first bone rod 4, the second bone rod 6, the rod 9, the first pole 11, and the second pole 13 are rotatably connected to each other to form the skeleton of the tent.

On the other hand, this tent has a tent sheet 14
And it is a double wall consisting of the fly sheet 15. A ground sheet 16 is sewn to the tent sheet 14, and the tent sheet 14 and the ground sheet 16 are integrated. Also, this tent sheet 1
No. 4 has a hole in its center, and the support 1
The circumference of this hole is sandwiched between the lifting support 5 and the annular stopper 7. Furthermore, this tent sheet 1
4 is a plurality of string rings 1 as is clear from FIGS.
7 are hung from the second joints 6, the second pawls 11, and the second pawls 13, and the six corners of the tent sheet 14 are attached to the ends of the second pawls 13 via the respective fixing cords 18. Are tied together.

In the fly sheet 15, the upper end of the column 1 is passed through a hole in the center thereof, and the periphery of this hole is sandwiched between the upper pivot metal fitting 2 and the cap 3. The fly sheet 15 is put on the skeleton of the tent, and the six corners are tied to the second poles 13 via the respective rubber cords 19.

The column 1 has a structure as shown in FIGS. This strut 1 is divided into an upper strut portion 21 and a lower strut portion 22, and by screwing a male screw 21a of the upper strut portion 21 into a female screw 22a of the lower strut portion 22, the strut 1 and the lower strut portion The pillar portions 22 are connected. An inner wall 22b is formed in the lower strut portion 22, and the bottom of the lower strut portion 22 is opened and closed by the lid 23. Therefore, various small items are stored inside the lower strut portion 22. be able to.

A plurality of groove holes 24 are formed in the upper support portion 21, and a plurality of sets of plate pieces 25 are fixed so as to face each other with the groove holes 24 interposed therebetween. Shafts 26 are bridged over the plate pieces 25 of each set, and the locking claws 27 are pivotally supported by the shafts 26. Further, respective springs 28 are fitted and inserted on these shafts 26, and both ends of these springs 28 are hooked on the projections 27a of the respective locking claws 27 and the projections 25a of the respective plate pieces 25. By the elastic force of these springs 28, each locking claw 27
Are urged to the outside of the upper column portion 21.

In the state shown in FIG. 5, each locking claw 27 is in contact with the inner wall of the lower strut portion 22, and these locking claws 27 are retracted inside the upper strut portion 21. When the lower strut portion 22 is removed from the upper strut portion 21, the state shown in FIG. 6 is reached, and the elastic force of each spring 28 causes the end of each locking claw 27 to project outward from the upper strut portion 21 through each slot 24. . At the ends of these locking claws 27, the annular stopper 7
The lower surface of the hook is hooked, so that the lifting and pivoting support fitting 5 is stopped on the upper support portion 21.

Now, in such a structure, this tent is set up according to the procedure shown in FIGS.

First, in the state shown in FIG. 7, the elevating and pivoting support metal fitting 5 is lowered downward along the column 1, and the first and second bone rods 4 and 6 stand substantially vertically. Along with each rod 9
And each first pole 11 also stands substantially vertically. Further, the joint of each second joint 12 is bent so that each second pole 13 also stands vertically. As a result, the frame of this tent is closed, and the tent sheet 14, fly sheet 15, and ground sheet 16 are compacted.

As shown in FIG. 8, the joints of the respective second joints 12 are rotated to extend the respective second pawls 13, and then the elevating and pivoting support fittings 5 are pushed upward along the support columns 1. Due to the lifting of the elevating and pivoting support fitting 5, each first bone rod 4 and each second bone rod 6 spread substantially horizontally, and accordingly, each rod 9 and each first pole 11 also spread substantially horizontally. That is,
The skeleton of the tent is opened by the elevation of the lifting and pivoting support bracket 5, and the tent seat 14, the fly seat 15, and the ground seat 16 are also expanded.

When the lifting support 5 is pushed up, the state shown in FIG. 9 is obtained. Since the ends of the second poles 13 are tied to the six corners of the tent sheet 14 via the respective fixing cords 18, the first poles 11 and the second poles 13 do not extend completely, and are appropriately arced. Draw and bend. Therefore, a living space is formed inside the tent seat 14 suspended from the frame of the tent.

Further, since the fly sheet 15 has its six corners pulled by the rubber cords 19, the fly sheet 15 is stretched above the frame of the tent to form a hemispherical shape. Therefore, this tent has a double-walled structure of the tent sheet 14 and the fly sheet 16.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 10, by removing the lower column portion 22, a wide living space is secured.

When the tent is folded and collected, the work may be performed in the reverse order from FIG. 10 to FIG.

A tent with a wide living space can be set up by a simple work in which the second poles 13 are extended in this way, and then the elevating and pivoting support fitting 5 is pushed up and the lower strut portion 22 is removed. Even if this tent is more than the height of a person, by pushing up and down the pivot support bracket 5 from the bottom to the top, this tent is expanded, so that this tent can be laid sideways,
There is no need to turn it upside down. Therefore, it is hardly affected by the wind and is hardly blown away like a conventional tent.

Moreover, the tent sheet 14 and the fly sheet 16 can be stretched at the same time. These sheets 1
Since 4 and 15 have a simple structure in which only a skeleton is interposed, the cost does not soar.

The first invention can be realized not only with the structure of the frame of the tent of this embodiment but also with the structure of other frames as long as it can be folded. The point is that after the lifting body is pushed up along the support, the lifting means is stopped on the upper side of the support by the engaging means, and then the lower side of the support can be removed.

Further, the engaging means may be composed of a leaf spring 31 and each locking claw 32 as shown in FIG. The leaf spring 31 has four arm portions 31a, these arm portions 31a warp outward, and the locking claws 32 are welded to the tips of these arm portions 31a. By appropriately arranging the leaf spring 31 inside the upper strut portion, each locking claw 32
Project from each hole in the upper column.

On the other hand, the second invention is not limited to the foldable tent, but can be applied to any tent having a frame structure.

[0041]

[Effect] As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the elevating body is pushed up along the support pillar to open the tent, so that even if the tent is taller than a person's height, the tent can be moved sideways. It doesn't need to be turned upside down or turned upside down, so it won't be blown away even if it receives wind. In addition, since the lower side of the pillar is removed after the tent is opened, the comfortability is not deteriorated.

On the other hand, according to the second aspect of the invention, since the respective sheets are attached to the inside and outside of the skeleton to form the double wall, it is not necessary to interpose a special one between the sheets, and it is simple. Simple structure.
