Description

Device for attaching field tarpaulins to a tent hall State of the art

In known tent halls, the field tarpaulins are guided in the piping grooves of the binder profiles. The field tarpaulins are usually ■ three-part, consisting of two wall tarpaulins and a roof tarpaulin. The tarpaulins are loosely folded together for transport and are individually pulled into the piping grooves. The wall tarpaulins are also connected to the eaves purlins. The tarpaulins seal the tent hall practically airtight.

problem

This well-known technology has a number of disadvantages: The tarpaulins are unwieldy during transport and contact with the ground is unavoidable. This means that the tarpaulins become dirty and wear out unnecessarily. Pulling in the tarpaulins is cumbersome, labor-intensive and time-consuming. Specially made tarpaulins are required for each tent size (height and width). The airtight seal means that no air exchange takes place.

Task

The invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a device for field tarpaulins which solves the above problems.

· · I

Solution

This object is achieved by the features of the main claim. Further advantageous embodiments can be found in the subclaims.

In the solution proposed by the invention, the field tarpaulins are in two parts and each extend from the ridge to the ground. The field tarpaulins are wound up on drums for transport. These drums are hung in the area of the ridge and the field tarpaulins are guided by a special ridge purlin over deflection rollers into the piping grooves of the truss. The space between the two field tarpaulins is sealed against rain by a cover. This cover can be opened and closed and thus also serves as a tent ventilation system. In the area of the eaves there is a curved piping rail to guide the field tarpaulin. When setting up the tent hall, the field tarpaulins are pulled out as usual with two ropes. To dismantle them, the field tarpaulins are wound up on the drums again. For this purpose, a gear is flanged to the drums, which can be operated with a crank.

Advantages of the invention

Compared to loosely folded field tarpaulins, the drums are easier to carry and easier to store. Since the field tarpaulins no longer have contact with the ground, they stay clean and have a longer lifespan. The field tarpaulins do not have to be fully extended, so the same field tarpaulin can be used for tent halls of different sizes. This reduces the tent rental company's inventory. The ventilation removes used air and prevents heat build-up.

Example

The invention is explained in more detail below using an embodiment in conjunction with drawings. They show:

Figure 1 shows a schematic of a tent hall with field tarpaulins 1 . The field tarpaulins are in two parts and extend from the ridge to the floor. The field tarpaulins are guided in the piping rails of the tent trusses 2. In the area of the eaves, there is a curved piping rail 14 that connects the piping grooves of the roof truss and the truss post.

Figure 2a shows a schematic cross-section through the ridge purlin 4 and drums 5. The field tarpaulins 1 are guided through the ridge purlin via deflection rollers 7 into the piping groove 3 of the tent truss 2. The gap between the two field tarpaulins is sealed off from the rain by a cover 8. The cover can be opened and closed using a locking mechanism. In the illustration, the cover is open a gap, which allows used air to escape from the tent hall.

Figure 2b shows the same view as Figure 2a. However, here the cover 8 is closed.

Figures 3a and 3b show a schematic cross-section of the cover's locking mechanism 9. The operating rod can be moved axially. The sleeve 16 sits immovably on the operating rod. The strut 17 is hinged at both ends, but can also be moved axially on the side opposite the sleeve. Between the two bearings there is a spiral spring 10 which holds the axle either in the upper position (Figure 3a) or in the lower position (Figure 3b). The cover is thus either open or closed. The sleeve 16 also serves as a stop. The rod 15 is actuated by an eye into which a crank can be hooked. The rod can also be actuated electrically.

Figure 4 shows the crank schematically, as a pure hand crank 11a and as an electrically operated crank 11b. At the end of the shaft there is a hook that is hooked into the eye. The crank can be used both to roll up the field tarpaulins and to operate the locking mechanism.

A special feature of the crank is that the shaft is telescopic and can therefore be adapted to different ridge heights.

Figure 5 shows a schematic side view of the drum 5 and detailed views of the suspension 6. On one side the drum is mounted so that it can rotate, on the other side a deflection gear 12 is flanged. The gear housing is mounted rigidly in the suspension and is operated by a crank. The torque is transmitted by an eye into which the crank is hooked. To prevent the drum from being lifted out, the suspension also has a locking mechanism 13.

Figure 7 shows a schematic of how the tent ventilation works. The field tarpaulins can be opened a crack. This allows fresh air to flow in from the side, while used warm air can escape through the open cover (chimney effect).
