Abstract
Front-tent construction characterized in that it mainly consists of a first stretching arm (8), one end of which is freely rotatable around a spindle (7); at least two additional stretching arms (12-13) either of them also being freely rotatable around a spindle (14-27-28); in every of the aforesaid two or more additional stretching arms (12-13) an outward pivoting support (19), wherein the hinged joint (18) between this support and the stretched arm referred to lays close to the free end of this stretching arm (12-13) and is connected to the aforesaid stretching arms (8-12-13) and to a fixed part of the construction with which the front-tent roof, i.e. the front-tent roof proper (10), has to co-operate.
Description
- 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.
- Several of such 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.
- Especially in the case of vehicles, i.e. vehicles for recreational purposes such as mobil homes, caravans and the like as well as utility vehicles such as used e.g. by market-men, it is clear that a tent with folding arms, pivot arms or the like in general is not desirable since it is not only expensive but also bulky.
- 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.
- If in addition one desires a set up roof with these known tents, it should be added thereto that separate tubes have to be applied, which involves very cumbersome and intricate operations.
- 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.
- In a first embodiment 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.
- In order to better set forth the characteristics of the present invention a preferred embodiment is described below by way of example without limiting it thereto. It refers to the accompanying drawings wherein :
- Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a caravan provided with a front-tent construction according to the present invention;
- Figure 2 represents a top view of the part indicated by F2 on Figure 1;
- Figures 3 and 4 represent larger-scale sections according to the lines III-III and IV-IV respectively of Figure 2;
- Figure 5 is a view similar to that of Figure 1 but with the front-tent roof in service position;
- Figure 6 represents a view according to arrow F6 in Figure 5;
- Figures 7 and 8 represent larger-scale sections according to the lines VII-VII and VIII-VIII respectively of Figure 6;
- Figure 9 represents a larger-scale view of the part indicated by F9 in Figure 8;
- Figure 10 represents a schematical top view of another embodiment;
- Figure 11 represents a perspective view of a caravan provided with a front-tent construction according to the present invention;
- Figure 12 represents a larger-scale view according to arrow F12 of Figure 11;
- Figure 13 represents a larger-scale view of the part indicated in Figure 12 by F13;
- Figure 14 represents a section according to line XIV-XIV of Figure 13;
- Figure 15 represents a view similar to that of Figure 12, but after the front-tent has been unfolded;
- Figure 16 represents a larger-scale section according to line XVI-XVI of Figure 15.
- As represented in Figures 1 to 4 the front-tent construction according to the invention mainly consists of a closed
box 1 consisting of twoparts caravan 4, whereaspart 3 is fixed topart 2 by means of apivot 5, e.g., and can be locked in any suitable way with respect to thispart 2 when the front-tent roof is retained. - It should be remarkerd that for a tent that will be used over the whole length of the caravan 4 (in this case),
box 2 has a length somewhat larger than half the overall length of the tent. - To one end of the thus formed box a
channel section 6 is fixed topart 2, e.g. by means of screws, in which section astretching arm 8 is mounted freely rotatable by means of anaxle 7. Said stretching arm over its whole length and on top of it has aslot 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 orgroove 11 which over the whole length is provided withpart 2 ofbox 1. - When the
unfolded tent 10 makes a straight angle, which is mostly the case, one will connect twoarms aforesaid tent 10 under angles of 60°, one end of which arms is pivoted to a common axle orspindle 14, which is mounted coaxially with respect to saidspindle 7 and is bearing-mounted in aframework 15, which by means of ahinge 16 is fixed to a built-onblock 17 with which thewhole construction 12 to 16 is attached topart 2 ofbox 1 by means of screws that are not shown. - Each of the stretching
arms 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 stretchingarms 12 and 13 asupport 19 is pivoted by means of aspindle 18, which at its free end is provided with a device (not shown) that can co-operate withsmall holes 20 in anextensible foot 21 in order to adapt the length of thesupport 19. In this case this support is made of channel section. - Every
support 19 can be mounted relatively simply in the stretchingarms foot 21 until it enters the part formed by the completely closed tube. - Obviously in this way a front-tent construction is obtained with which an automatic folding out and set up of the front-tent is achieved in one single rotating movement.
- Starting from figure 4 it suffices indeed to open
box 1 by pivoting downwardcover 3, whereupon thearm 8 is pivoted outward until it butts against (in this case) the outer wall of thecaravan 4 and this arm is connected suitably in this place (not shown). - By this movement the
tent 10 is automatically unfolded and brought into the position as represented in Figure 5, thestretching arms tent 10 itself so that they support the tent in the front after thesupports 19 proper have been pivoted out of thearms feet 21. - By folding open in this way, unfolding, stretching and supporting of the tent is achieved automatically.
- As appears from the Figures 8 and 9 it is obtained automatically that the central part of the tent lays somewhat lower than the outer parts owing to the fact that this central part is attached to the lowermost stretching
arms box 2 and on the other hand to the stretchingarm 8 laying on top. - Obviously a right-hand front-tent construction can be made from a left-handed one and inversely in a simple way.
- Indeed, it suffices to fix the
support 6 on the one hand and the built-onblock 17 to the proper end ofpart 2 ofbox 1 on the other hand, which has to be provided beforehand by suitably providing screw-thread holes or the like, whereas thetent 10 itself is mounted thereupon between thegrooves - Finally, the inclination of the tent is also obtained thereby that the
support 15 of the stretchingarms block 17. - In a special embodiment the
edges - In a special embodiment 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°. Optionally, afurther support 26 can be provided for still enlarging the tent roof. - Obviously, in order to obtain determined inclinations in the tent roof,
spindle 7 can be placed under an angle, e.g. by mounting it insupport 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. - The construction as represented in the Figures 11 to 16 broadly outlined can be compared with the foregoing embodiment so that reference is made thereto as far as the details are concerned.
- Indeed, this construction consists of a closed
box 1 consisting of two parts, viz. afixed part 2 and acover 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. - In this case too, a
support 6 is suitably fixed to one end ofbox 2 wherein a stretchingarm 8 is mounted freely rotatable by means of anaxle 7, to which one end of the front-tent 10 is suitably fixed and whose other end is fixed in a slot orgroove 11 that has been provided for that purpose inbox 2. - The aforesaid tent is connected to two
arms separate spindle common support 29, which by means of ahinge 16 is connected to a built-onblock 17 with which thewhole construction 12 to 16 is fixed to thebox 1 by means of suitable screws or the like. - The stretching
arms controllable support 19 is pivotally provided in thearms adequate spindle 18. - Obviously it suffices in this case, for bringing the front-tent into service position, to open
box 1 and then to pivot thearm 8 outward until it lays in the extension ofbox 1, whereupon this arm is adequately connected (not shown) to the roof of the caravan. - By this movement the
tent 10 is automatically unfolded and brought into the position as represented in Figure 15, thehinge 16 providing therefor that the tent obtains a determined inclination. - In this embodiment too, the tent is additionally supported by the
supports 19. - The present invention is by no means limited to the embodiments described hereinbefore and represented in the accompanying drawings. As a matter of fact such front-tent construction can be realized in all sorts of forms and dimensions without departing from the scope of the invention.
