Description

A TENT EASY TO PITCH AND STRIKE

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present technology relates to the field of outdoor sightseeing equipment. More particularly, the present invention relates to a tent easy to pitch and strike.

BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION [0002] Outdoor sightseeing buildings include tents, winter garden, holiday cottage, campervan and etc. Most of them have their own limitation with single usage. For example, most tents are not strong enough to cope with heavy snow, strong winds, as well as heavy rain due to its supporting structure by a frame, therefore they are easy to change shape and being damaged and lack of safety. A winter garden is used in roof-top of house and garden, while a holiday cottage is accommodation used for holiday vacations. It takes long time to build a winter garden and a holiday cottage with high cost. Campervans provides both transport and sleeping accommodation, while campervans are expensive to own. None of them can provide a fine return on investment for service providers and comprehensive leisure experience.

[0003] This invention has been specially devised in order to provide a tent easy to pitch and strike which is inexpensive, easy to operate, strong enough to cope with different weather conditions such as heavy snow, strong winds, as well as heavy rain, and provides advanced natural lighting and better view of nature environment so that comfortable camping experience can be guaranteed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] A tent easy to pitch and strike in accordance with this invention comprises one or more doored side boards, one or more windowed side boards which are beside said doored side boards or said windowed side boards, a rooftop covering which is on said doored side boards and said windowed side boards.

[0005] As a further improvement, said doored side boards, windowed side boards and a rooftop covering are made of transparent polycarbonate (or PC for abbreviation) materials.

[0006] As a further improvement, each said doored side board or said windowed side board comprises two or more second grooved transition strips which are attached to one side of said doored side board or windowed side board and stacked with another second grooved transition strip of the adjacent doored side board or windowed side board, and one or more second bolts to fasten the said stacked second grooved transition strips; the said rooftop covering comprises one or more first grooved transition strips which are stacked on said stacked second grooved transition strips, and one or more first bolts to fasten stacked first grooved transition strips and second grooved transition strips.

2019100122 06 Feb 2019 [0007] As a further improvement, each said doored side board comprises a door opening, a door canopy on the door opening, a door, a seal strip attached to all sides of the door, and one or more door hinges on one side of the door to join the door to one side of the door opening.

[0008] As a further improvement, each said doored side board or windowed side board comprises a bottom supporter at the bottom of the doored side board or the windowed side board which fixes the board to floor.

[0009] By adoption of the above technical schemes, by assembling said doored side boards, windowed side boards and a rooftop covering which are made of transparent polycarbonate (PC) materials, the tent provides advanced natural lighting and is strong enough to cope with heavy snow, strong winds, as well as heavy rain, so that comfortable camping experience can be guaranteed. Meanwhile, stacking first grooved transition strip on second grooved transition strips can simplify installation and keep dust and water out of a tent by covering gaps between rooftop covering, doored side boards and windowed side boards. Besides, first bolts and second bolts fasten grooved transition strips and provide supporting points to hang curtains.

[0010] It should be noted that any one of the aspects mentioned above may include any of the features of any of the other aspects mentioned above and may include any of the features of any of the embodiments described below as appropriate.
