Definitions

  • This invention relates to a front-tent construction, more especially to a front-tent roof such as those that can be used for vehicles, house-fronts and the like.
  • front-tent constructions or front-tent roofs are known, but they are formed by a roller on which the tent is rolled up in retained position and wherein, in order to bring the front-tent roof in service position, either certain systems are to be provided that pivot the front edge of such tent to the vehicle or house-front referred to, or supports are provided, which are applied to at least the free corners of the tent after the latter has been unwound and which rest on the ground with their free end.
  • a disadvantage of the known front-tent constructions with separate standards or supports is that they not only require a rather expensive winding-up mechanism, but that placing such a tent by one person, especially when it is relatively long, is hardly possible since the afore-mentioned supports have to be mounted separately.
  • the present invention relates to a front-tent roof construction that can be used in a very simple way in combination with any vehicle whatsoever, against house-fronts and the like, wherein a device making use of pivot arms as are usual with tents to be applied to house-fronts is without any necessity, and wherein bringing the tent into service position can be done by one single person, as the afore-mentioned supports that hold the tent at the front-side in the suitable position during unfolding automatically fold open and support the tent, everything in such a way that setting up such tents is extremely simple.
  • the front-tent construction according to the present invention showing the aforesaid and other advantages mainly consists of a first stretching arm, one end of which is freely rotatable around a pin; at least two additional stretching arms either of them also being freely rotatable around a pin; in every of the aforesaid two or more additional stretching arms an outward pivoting support, wherein the hinged joint between this support and the stretching arm referred to lays close to the free end of this stretching arm and is connected to the aforesaid stretching arms and to a fixed part of the construction with which the front-tent roof, i.e. the front-tent roof proper, has to co-operate.
  • the aforesaid arms together with the box wherein they are retained are fixed to the side of the vehicle or the like, whereas in another embodiment they are mounted on the roof so that among other things the overall width of the vehicle is not interfered with.
  • the front-tent construction according to the invention mainly consists of a closed box 1 consisting of two parts 2 and 3 respectively the first of which is rigidly attached, in this case, to the side-wall of a caravan 4, whereas part 3 is fixed to part 2 by means of a pivot 5, e.g., and can be locked in any suitable way with respect to this part 2 when the front-tent roof is retained.
  • box 2 has a length somewhat larger than half the overall length of the tent.
  • a channel section 6 is fixed to part 2, e.g. by means of screws, in which section a stretching arm 8 is mounted freely rotatable by means of an axle 7. Said stretching arm over its whole length and on top of it has a slot 9 or the like to which one end of the front-tent 10 is suitably attached. The second end of this front-tent 10 is fixed in a slot or groove 11 which over the whole length is provided with part 2 of box 1.
  • Each of the stretching arms 8, 12 and 13 is preferably made of a hollow profile with square section, the bottom wall of the stretching arms 11 and 12 (especially see the Figures 8 and 9) being removed for the greater part, in order to obtain at these places channel sections whose opening faces downward and wherein in each of these stretching arms 12 and 13 a support 19 is pivoted by means of a spindle 18, which at its free end is provided with a device (not shown) that can co-operate with small holes 20 in an extensible foot 21 in order to adapt the length of the support 19.
  • this support is made of channel section.
  • Every support 19 can be mounted relatively simply in the stretching arms 12 and 13 respectively referred to by pivoting the arm simply as far as into the profile of the stretching arm referred to and then extending the foot 21 until it enters the part formed by the completely closed tube.
  • the tent 10 is automatically unfolded and brought into the position as represented in Figure 5, the stretching arms 12 and 13 being pulled out automatically from the box by the tent 10 itself so that they support the tent in the front after the supports 19 proper have been pivoted out of the arms 12 and 13, occasionally after a suitable length regulation of these supports 19 by means of the feet 21.
  • edges 22, 23 and/or 24 respectively of the front-tent roof are provided with zip-fasteners in order to make possible the attachment of side walls to this front-tent roof and so to from a real completely closed front-tent.
  • the front-tent construction is attached to the rear-wall of a vehicle or the like, wherein, in that case, the tent roof can be provided with at least one additional stretching arm 25 in order to obtain a tent roof that can be opened over an angle of 270°.
  • a further support 26 can be provided for still enlarging the tent roof.
  • spindle 7 can be placed under an angle, e.g. by mounting it in support 6 with much clearance. Every arm 12-13 too can be mounted to a separate spindle and/or the spindles of each stretching arm can be shifted with respect to each other.
  • this construction consists of a closed box 1 consisting of two parts, viz. a fixed part 2 and a cover 3, part 2 in this case being fixed to the roof of the caravan or the like and wherein this box, in the case the tent is used over the whole length of the caravan or the like, has a length that is only a little larger than half the tent's overall length.
  • a support 6 is suitably fixed to one end of box 2 wherein a stretching arm 8 is mounted freely rotatable by means of an axle 7, to which one end of the front-tent 10 is suitably fixed and whose other end is fixed in a slot or groove 11 that has been provided for that purpose in box 2.
  • the aforesaid tent is connected to two arms 12 and 13 respectively, but in this embodiment either of them is pivotally mounted to a separate spindle 27 and 28 respectively, which in their turn are fixed in a common support 29, which by means of a hinge 16 is connected to a built-on block 17 with which the whole construction 12 to 16 is fixed to the box 1 by means of suitable screws or the like.
  • the stretching arms 8, 12 and 13 preferably are also made of hollow profiles, wherein in lengthwhise controllable support 19 is pivotally provided in the arms 12 and 13 by means of an adequate spindle 18.
  • the tent 10 is automatically unfolded and brought into the position as represented in Figure 15, the hinge 16 providing therefor that the tent obtains a determined inclination.
  • the tent is additionally supported by the supports 19.
