Description

Tent for children

Technical Field

The invention relates to a tent for infants.

Background

A tent for infants having a shape similar to that of the indian tent is being popularized as a toy for children. As can be seen in the drawings related to the prior art tent of fig. 4, such a tent has a plurality of support poles supporting tent cloth in a polygonal cone shape, and the support poles are connected to each other at the upper end region by means of connection members.

When the tent is stored, the lower end of the support rod is folded and placed. When the tent is to be used while being folded, the support poles are unfolded at the lower portions of the coupling members. At this time, the support poles inevitably cross each other at the upper portion of the connection member, and at this time, if the order of crossing cannot be maintained, the overall shape of the tent cannot be properly made. The unfolding action of the tent is very difficult to get used by women or children and becomes a very inconvenient factor

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, a tent for an infant according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention relates to a tent for infants, which has a plurality of support rods (100) extending downward from an upper intersection position (a) and arranged in a polygonal cone shape, and a cover (b) surrounding the support rods (100), and is explained with reference to fig. 1 to 3, the tent for infants comprises a plurality of support rods (100) forming a framework of the tent, a connection plate (200) part for penetrating and supporting the support rods (100), and a holding plate (300) for holding the support rods (100) at a specific distance from the connection plate (200) part on the upper part of the connection plate (200).

The support rod (100) is in a long rod shape and is made of wood, plastic and metal materials. The support pole (100) can be prepared using short lengths of short bars and coupling members connecting the short bars, as needed. A plurality of frames are prepared for the support rod (100) and are formed into a polygonal cone shape according to the number. Namely, the support pole (100) is provided as a tent having a four-sided rectangular pyramid shape and five-sided pentagonal pyramid shape. In the present invention, a tent having six support poles (100) will be described as an example for convenience of description.

The outer skin (b) is wrapped around the outer surface of the support pole (100) to form the shape of a tent. The outer surface of the outer skin (b) is printed with various patterns which can stimulate the curiosity of the infant, and the inner surface is provided with a containing bag which can insert the rest parts except the upper side part of the support rod (100).

The upper side of the support rod (100) which is not accommodated by the accommodating bag is fixed on a connecting disc (200), and fixing parts (210) for the support rod (100) to pass through are arranged on the connecting disc (200) at intervals along the circumferential direction. The holding part (210) has a ring part (211), the ring part (211) makes the support rod (100) have a state of a little clearance for inclination when the support rod (100) is inclined into a polygonal cone shape after passing through, so as to hold the support rod (100) and prevent the support rod from separating from the connecting disc (200), the holding part (210) is made of a flexible material which can elastically hold the support rod (100), and the connecting disc (200) has the holding parts (210) at the same interval along the circumferential direction according to the number of the support rods (100).

A holding disk (300) is arranged on the upper side of the connecting disk (200) at a position separated from the connecting disk (200) by a specific distance, and holding parts (301) for holding the support rod (100) are installed on the holding disk (300) at intervals along the circumferential direction.

The middle area of the connection disc (200) and the holding disc (300) is a crossing position (a) where the support bars (100) cross each other and have a shape supporting each other. The supporting rods (100) are sequentially contacted with the next supporting rod (100) at the side surface of one supporting rod (100) at the crossing position (a) and are mutually supported, and only if the supporting rods (100) are sequentially crossed, the accurate polygonal cone-shaped framework can be completed.

Fig. 2 (a) is a plan view of the holding tray (300), and (b) is a plan view of the holding tray (300). As shown in fig. 2 (a) and (b), the holding disk (300) may be formed as a circular plate of a certain thickness, and have holding portions (301) arranged at the same intervals in the circumferential direction at the edge region.

As shown in fig. 2 (a), the shape of the holding portion (301) on the upper surface of the holding plate (300) has a cutout portion (310) having a shape corresponding to the outer diameter of the support rod (100) so as to be able to wrap around the support rod (100), and a pair of elastic finger portions (330) that span a specific length section and are more easily elastically deformed than the remaining area protrude at both ends of the cutout portion (310) so as to wrap around the outer surface of the support rod (100). The ends of the pair of elastic fingers (330) form an opening through which the support bar (100) can be inserted and removed in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction.

The cut-out portion (310) is formed corresponding to the inclination angle of the support bar (100) when the support bar (100) is unfolded to form the skeleton. Namely, the cutout (310) is designed in the following way: in the case that the height of the tent is not lowered to increase the bottom surface, the support pole (100) should be inclined relatively more, and at this time, the cutout portion (310) reduces the contact surface with the support pole (100), whereas in the case that the height of the tent is raised to reduce the bottom surface, the contact surface with the support pole (100) is increased.

If the contact surface of the cut portion (310) and the support bar (100) is reduced, the length of the elastic finger portion (330) is increased, and the contact surface of the elastic finger portion (330) and the support bar (100) is increased.

The open part (320) is formed by two ends of the elastic finger part (330), and is a region for the support rod (100) to move in and out elastically. The opening (320) is formed so as to be smaller than the diameter of the support rod (100).

The holding part (301) has elastic fingers (330), and the elastic fingers (330) span a specific length section at both ends of the cutting part (310), protrude corresponding to the circumferential direction of the support rod, and are easier to elastically deform than the rest area. The elastic finger 330 functions to grip the support stick 100 so as not to be separated from the holding part 301, and is made of a soft material that can sufficiently support the support stick 100 and also can be deformed in an elastic region when the support stick 100 is pulled by an external force. The elastic fingers (330) increase or decrease in length depending on the contact area of the cutout (310) and the support bar (100).

An illumination portion (350) may be provided on the upper surface of the holding tray (300). The lighting part (350) may include a Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamp or a projector irradiating light at an entrance of a ceiling or a tent to confirm whether the holding tray (300) is sufficiently mounted to the support pole (100). The illumination unit (350) is operated by a switch (351) provided on a front guide inclined surface (341) to be described later so as to be inserted and projected.

As shown in fig. 2 (b), the holding plate (300) has a guide inclined surface (340) which is formed to be inclined in the same direction in the circumferential direction and which is in contact with the support rod (100). The guide inclined surface (340) is formed by cutting from the upper surface of the holding disk (300) to the lower surface direction, and is formed in a state of having a specific angle with the radial direction of the holding disk (300). That is, when the support bars (100) are made to intersect each other in a polygonal pyramid shape, a guide inclined surface (340) is formed along the direction of the development axis (c) on which the support bars (100) are arranged when the intersection position (a) is viewed from above.

The guide inclined surface (340) is composed of a front guide inclined surface (341) and a rear guide inclined surface (342) which are formed by cutting at different inclinations. The rear guide inclined surface (342) has a larger inclination angle than the front guide inclined surface (341).

Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing the combination of the holding plate (300) and the support rod (100). As shown in the drawing, the front guide inclined surface (341) of the holding tray (300) has a smaller inclination angle than the rear guide inclined surface (342). The inclination angle of the front guide inclined plane (341) is an inclination at which the surface of the support pole (100) can contact the front guide inclined plane (341) when the support pole (100) is inclined at the maximum angle, so as to have a desired tent frame shape.

The rear guide inclined surface (342) has an inclination that creates a gap to facilitate movement of the support rod (100) within the holding portion (301).

When the support rod (100) is vertically inserted into the holding tray (300), the support rod is supported by the upper side of the front guide inclined surface (341) and the lower side of the rear guide inclined surface (342), and completely contacts the front guide inclined surface (341) when inclined, and the upper part of the rear guide inclined surface (342) has a form of supporting a part of the support rod (100).

A switch (351) is provided on the front guide inclined surface (341), and the switch (351) can elastically move from the inside of the area of the holding tray (300) having the front guide inclined surface (341) and the surface of the front guide inclined surface (341). When the switch 351 is tilted in accordance with the inclination of the set support bar 100, the surface of the support bar 100 is pressed, and the illumination part 350 on the upper part of the holding plate 300 is operated by the pressing.

The switches 351 are provided on the front guide inclined surfaces 341, and the illumination portion 350 can emit light when at least two or more switches 351 are operated.

Next, an operation method and effects of the tent for infants according to the present invention will be explained.

Fig. 1 (a) shows a folded state of the infant tent, and (b) shows an unfolded state. In order to install the tent for the infant, as shown in fig. 1 (a), the user inserts the support pole (100) into the outer cover (b), and inserts a portion not inserted into the outer cover (b) into the ring portion (211) of the holding portion (210) formed at the connection plate (200), thereby coupling the support pole (100) and the connection plate (200). After that, the support rod (100) protruding to the upper side of the connection disc (200) is inserted into the holding part (301) of the holding disc (300).

The support rod (100) is inserted into the connection plate (200) and the holding plate (300) at a position spaced apart from the connection plate (200) by a predetermined distance, and is folded. The infant tent according to the present invention is configured to be folded when the infant tent is initially installed or when the volume is minimized for cleaning or storage.

Then, in order to set the infant tent in a folded state, the connection plate (200) and the holding plate (300) are rotated in opposite directions to each other, or the connection plate (200) is fixed and the holding plate (300) is rotated in one direction. At this time, since the support rods (100) are unfolded in a state of maintaining a fixed interval and a fixed inclination by the holding part (210) and the holding part (301), the respective support rods (100) sequentially cross in a fixed direction to form an area corresponding to the crossing position (a), and the support rods (100) are manufactured in the shape of a tent at the lower side inserted into the outer skin (b). Such support rods (100) form regions corresponding to the crossing positions (a) and support each other and are unfolded in an unfolded state, which is the same as shown in (b) of fig. 1,

when the tent is unfolded, the support pole (100) surrounded by the outer skin (b) at the lower part is wider than the upper part to form a framework of the tent, and the support pole is surrounded by the outer skin (b) and has the shape of the tent as a whole. At this time, the holding part (210) of the connection disc (200) is supported in a manner of keeping the interval of the support rods (100) and having a fixed shape. Namely, the connection plate (200) functions as a support member for maintaining the shape. In contrast, the holding plate (300) makes the supporting bars (100) have the same angle at the crossing position (a) and are sequentially inclined.

When the support rod (100) is crossed by the holding plate (300), a user presses the holding plate (300) downwards to narrow the distance between the holding plate (300) and the connecting plate (200), so that the inclination of the support rod (100) can be increased. That is, by pressing the holding tray (300) downward, the support pole (100) can be spread more widely, thereby making the tent with a wider space.

At this time, the holding part (210) of the connection disc (200) supports the support bar (100) so that the support bar does not move away from the predetermined position, but the holding part (301) of the holding disc (300) holds the support bar (100) only in the range where the elastic finger part (330) can support. If the support rod (100) is tilted to such an extent that the resilient fingers (330) are not able to support, the support rod (100) may fall off the holding tray (300) through the opening (320). Therefore, the user can press the holding tray (300) downwards to move the holding tray so as to fully unfold the supporting rod (100), and after finishing the desired tent shape, the holding tray (300) can be separated from the supporting rod (100).

In this way, in the process that the user presses the holding tray (300) arranged at the intersection position (a) to unfold the support rod (100), the support rod (100) is unfolded more easily and in an accurate direction along the guide inclined surface (340). In addition, the holding plate (300) can effectively transmit force to the support bar (100) until the support bar (100) is sufficiently inclined due to the front guide inclined surface (341) cut with a small inclination in the direction in which the support bar (100) is inclined, and the rear guide inclined surface (342) having a relatively large inclination angle provides a gap that can easily move the support bar (100).

If a certain spaced space is formed between the elastic fingers (330) and the support pole (100), the holding tray (300) does not need to be removed even in a state of fully unfolding the tent. At this point, the retention tray (300) may be used for decorative or other purposes, or may be removed when not needed. That is, when the elastic finger 330 has a gap from the support pole 100 in consideration of the inclination of the support pole 100 having a desired tent shape, the holding plate 300 can be coupled to the support pole 100 even in a state having a desired tent shape. Even in this case, the support bar (100) can be detached from the holding tray (300) by an external force due to the open portions (320) and the elastic fingers (330).

In such a developed state, when the holding plate (300) is coupled to the support rod (100), an illumination unit (350) such as an illuminator or a projector may be provided in the central region of the holding plate (300) for use. At this time, a switch 351 is provided on the guide inclined surface 340, and the switch 351 can be opened and closed by the support rod.

When the switch 351 is provided on the surface of the front guide inclined surface 341 and the support bar 100 is fully unfolded, the switch 351 is pressed by the surface of the support bar 100, so that whether the infant tent is fully unfolded can be confirmed. That is, since the unfolding state can be grasped by pressing the switch 351, the occurrence of an accident in which the framework of the tent for infants is not strong due to incomplete unfolding of the support bar 100 can be prevented.

When a plurality of switches 351 are provided on the guide inclined surface 340 and only two of them are operated to emit light to the illumination part 350, the unfolded state of the tent can be grasped more easily.

The present invention provides a tent for infants, which comprises a plurality of supporting rods (100) extending downwards from an upper crossing position (a) and arranged in a polygonal cone shape, and an outer skin (b) surrounding the supporting rods (100), and is provided with: a connection plate (200) which is arranged at the lower part of the crossing position (a) and is provided with a holding part (210) for the support rod (100) to pass through at intervals along the circumferential direction; and a holding disk (300) which is arranged above the intersection position and to which holding sections (301) for holding the support rod (100) are attached at intervals in the circumferential direction. The user can insert the support pole (100) into the connection plate (200) and the holding plate (300), then fix the connection plate (200) and rotate the holding plate (300) to make the support pole (100) cross accurately, thereby the infant tent can be unfolded easily.
