Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved inflatable struc­ture for tents which, in view of the new construction, shape and design features thereof, fulfils the purpose for which it has been specifically devised with maximum reliability and efficiency.
  • a set of military, camping and the like tents which may be fully erected by way of a set of elements which are coupled together and are driven into the ground, and the purpose of which is to support the fabric, canvas or the like above said elements and the subsequent fitting of a waterproof fabric spaced apart from the previous fabric a short distance, ensuring that in the case of rain pos­sible water leaks may not affect the impermeability. of the tent inner fabric is well known and, therefore, may be deemed to be state of the art.
  • the waterproof fabric is required to be mounted on the elements supporting the tent inner fabric and is attached to the ground by cords or tension devices, whereby the elements, the tent fabric and the waterproof fabric are supported by said elements, forming a duly balanced whole to ensure that the tent structure formed by the said elements remains perfectly vertical.
  • the object of the invention which practically dispenses with all the support members on replacing them with a fully configured inflatable structure which in all cases is adapted to the final configuration of the tent, whatever the type or model thereof.
  • the said inflatable structure is formed by a set of interconnected tubes provided with the corresponding valves allowing a complete or partial selective inflation of the whole structure by any conven­tional inflating means, be it manual or automatic. All the remaining parts of the tent, such as the inner fabric and the waterproof fabric are adhered to said inflatable structure, since the latter has previously been placed on the ground.
  • the erection of a conventional tent like the one shown in the figure is carried out by placing the inflatable structure formed by the tubes (10) in a fully uninflated state on the ground, for sub­sequent inflation through the valves (14) located at the bottom of the said inflatable structure.
  • the inflatable tubes (10) are provided at a certain height, depending on the type of tent, with eyelets (13) which may be located in an upper position or in a lower position as may be seen in Figure 2 and in Figure 3, allowing for the fit­ting of the waterproof fabric (11) and the tent fabric (12), once the said structure (10) has been inflated, whereafter the waterproof fabric (11) is tensioned to the ground where the tent (12) has been erected with conven­tional tension devices (15).
  • the inflatable struc­ture may adopt any shape required to support the dif­ferent types of tent, known or unknown, which logically vary in both volume and design, it being always said inflatable structure and the inner pressure maintained therein which allows a rigid structure to be always available, which structure will support the different types of both inner and covering fabrics depending on the weight thereof.
  • the inflatable structure (10) of the invention is formed by vertical and horizontal tubes, as said above, but they may also be sloping which, further to easy erection on being connected together forming a skeleton of a certain design depending on the design of the tent, allows for very light carriage, since the materials of the said in­flatable structure will preferably be made from rubber, indian rubber or like materials whereby, further to the aforementioned advantages of simplification of erection and alignment of the tent, there is that of the light weight of the structure in comparison with the weight of the conventional structures which, in turn, require to be well packed to avoid the relative movement thereof and tearing of the sheathes containing them. All of this in turn will allow for a smaller final volume and weight of all the parts of the tent, once dismantled and packed ready for carriage, or for storage until next use, or for carriage in vehicles or trailers.
