DE102018009830A1 - Modular tent system - Google Patents

Abstract

Modular tent system, consisting of one or more tents - also called modules - that are connected to each other - mostly without partition walls. By adding additional modules or removing individual modules or by attaching external walls, the size or shape of the tent can be varied and / or changed at short notice, even after the initial set-up. The addition of elements is also possible without tools or connecting elements are covered with tarpaulins. The outer sides can be provided with no or one outer wall. The outer walls can be provided without or with windows.

Description

Problem

Tents, e.g. B. Beer tents have a fixed size. This means that they cannot be adapted to the conditions of different and, in particular, different sized stands - especially at short notice.

And if the stand has a completely different shape than the one for which the tent was built, the previous tent in its fixed size cannot be used, e.g. B. a square stand compared to a rectangular.

solution

A tent system based on individual, identical modules, e.g. B. Marquee, which can be expanded and reduced in modules in two dimensions - length and width.

So that the shape of the tent can not only be square or rectangular, but also L-shaped or misshapen (in the sense of normal, known shapes), z. B. U-shaped, E-shaped etc.

This means that the tent system is not only adaptable to different shapes and sizes of the respective location.

In addition, due to the quick enlargement and possible reduction in size of the tent, this can also, depending on the weather forecast, within a short time, e.g. B. a night or even less than an hour - or even faster - can be enlarged or reduced.

The tent can be constructed in such a way that no tools are required to assemble several elements. B. by a connector system.

State of the art / competition analysis

Also in DE 20 2017 100 205 describes a modular tent. However, this as a pure fence for children who are involved in sports, e.g. B. move on a trampoline. It is therefore intended to protect against injuries. It is a completely different design and application. It is not transferable to a modular tent - not just a fence.

DE 10 2010 050 485 also describes a modular - and inflatable - tent. This can only be enlarged in a modular manner, since the inner “skeleton” as a support for the tent roof can be enlarged or reduced by similar elements, comparable to the Fischer-Technik modular system. This means that it is no longer possible to change the size afterwards, unless the tent is completely dismantled and rebuilt in a different size. It is not technically comparable to that.

Embodiment

A marquee as a tent system consisting of three individual tents, also called units, cf. in the side view.

A single unit has a width of 1.80 meters plus 90 cm on each side cf. (Sectional drawing) and plus two eight centimeters for the square wooden beam = 3.76 meters width per side.

The height is two meters (up to the first crossbar) plus 1.20 meters (roof height) cf. and .

The tents have a gutter on the outside on the long side, cf. and , Reference number 2. The gutter consists of the same material of the roof tarpaulin.

The top of the tents is covered with tarpaulins as a roof, cf. and Reference number 3.

The tents are connected to each other on the long side.

The length of a tent / module is 376 centimeters.

On the outer sides - left and right - of the tent system, outer panels are attached. Please refer .

and , Reference number 4 shows the outer lining as an example of the positioning.

The material of the outer cladding is poplar wood, each 1 cm thick.

At a distance of 50 cm from the upper end of these outer claddings, two 40 cm high windows are installed, each 30 cm wide, with an internal distance of 5 cm from each other.

These outer panels are attached to the top and sides of the tent by a hanging mechanism.

On the long side of the first and last tent elements in a size of 90 cm * 180 cm there are no outer panels. They remain open so that access and exits are possible without problems and sufficient gas exchange with the environment can take place.

The bars are square with a diameter of 8 cm.

The beams are made of poplar wood.

Outside (all outside) are open in the exemplary embodiment, no wall elements are attached.

The square modules of the are roofed and without external walls, reference number 5.

shows a wall module with window.

shows a wall module without window.

Embodiment 2

shows a tent system consisting of two double modules, reference number 6 with covered outer surfaces, reference number 5 from a view from above.
