Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of camping or caravan tents comprising a rigid frame intended to support the tent fabric.
- a tent frame of rectangular shape having a two-sided roof which can be dismantled for transport or storage, said frame being produced by an assembly of tubes and connecting parts and having, at the assembled state, at least two similar gantries, spaced from each other and each comprising an inverted V-shaped truss produced by an assembly of two rafters and a chevron connecting piece, said truss being capable of be carried by two substantially vertical uprights by means of truss support pieces provided at the lower ends of said rafters, said two trusses being rigidly linked together by a ridge connecting the rafter connecting pieces and by two lateral crosspieces arranged parallel to said ridge and connecting respectively the farm support pieces of said two farms.
- This type of tent frame has been known for a long time. It is especially used to make the awnings of tents on towable trailers called extendable caravans, or the awnings of rigid caravans or shelters.
- the frame can obviously have more than two gantries.
- an end gantry is connected to the frame of said caravan by complementary tubes extending the ridge and the lateral crosspieces of the frame of the awning.
- the frame may have only one gantry, the second gantry being replaced by means for fixing said complementary tubes.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a frame of the type mentioned above, the mounting of which is considerably facilitated and in which the constituent elements of the frame, in particular of the part forming the roof, remain linked to each other for transport and tidying up.
- the invention achieves its object by the fact that the part forming the roof of the frame is foldable.
- the frame is characterized in that the rafters of a farm are articulated on the connecting piece of rafters so that they can be arranged side by side for transport, and kept apart one of the other in the assembled state, and are fixed respectively at their lower end to a farm support piece, in that the ridge and the two crosspieces each have two tubes hinged together at their first ends and hinged at their second ends, opposite said first ends, on the rafters connecting pieces or the farm support pieces, in such a way that said two tubes can be folded up for transport, and can be deployed and aligned end to end in the assembled state, and further include locking means for keeping said two tubes in alignment in the assembled state, and in that there is provided means for blocking the ridge and crosspieces on the trusses in the assembled state.
- the tubes forming the crosspieces are articulated on the farm support pieces in such a way that they can pivot around an axis perpendicular to the corresponding pan of the roof and be folded against the neighboring rafter for transport.
- the tubes forming the ridge are articulated on the rafter connecting pieces in such a way that they can pivot around a horizontal axis parallel to the general plane of the trusses and be folded down for transport.
- the rafters of a farm are articulated on the connecting piece of rafters so that they can pivot around an axis perpendicular to the general plane of said farm.
- the assembly forming the roof of the frame is, in the storage or transport state, like a bundle of tubes arranged side by side and linked together.
- Deploying the roof can be done in two ways. Either we first remove the rafters to form the inverted V, then we separate the trusses to align the ridge tubes and crosspieces and we lock the tubes two by two by the locking means. Either we first spread the trusses to align the ridge tubes and crosspieces, then we lock the tubes two by two by the locking means, and finally we spread the two sides of the roof. It only remains to raise the roof and place the vertical uprights under the trusses.
- the drawings show a frame 1 of a rectangular tent with a two-sided roof, intended more particularly to form the canopy of an extendable caravan tent.
- the frame 1 essentially comprises two gantries 2a, 2b parallel and spaced from each other.
- the two gantries 2a, 2b are similar, so only one of them, 2a for example, will be described in detail.
- the gantry 2a comprises a farm 3 in the form of an inverted V capable of being mounted on two substantially vertical uprights 4a, 4b.
- the truss 3 comprises two rafters 5a, 5b articulated at their upper ends on a chevron connecting piece 6 in such a way that the rafters 5a and 5b can pivot around a horizontal axis 7 perpendicular to the general plane of the truss 3, between a deployed position corresponding to the mounted state of the frame 3 in which the two rafters 5a, 5b are spaced from one another and are in abutment against a stop wall 8 formed in the rafter connecting piece 6 and a folded position, used for storing or transporting the frame 3, in which the two rafters 5a, 5b are arranged side by side.
- a farm support piece 9 is fixed to the lower end of each of the two rafters 5a, 5b.
- This farm support part 9 comprises in particular a tubular element 10 which can fit into the upper part of an upright 4a
- the two neighboring farms 3 of the two gantries 2a, 2b are rigidly linked together by a ridge 11 and two lateral crosspieces 12a, 12b parallel to the ridge 11.
- the ridge 11 connects the chevron connecting pieces 6 of the two gantries 2a, 2b.
- the lateral crosspieces 12a, 12b respectively connect the left and right farm support pieces 9 of the two gantries 2a, 2b.
- the ridge 11 and the two lateral crosspieces 12a, 12b have identical structures. They each consist of two tubes 13a, 13b, of equal length, hinged together at their first ends 14a, 14b by means of an articulation joint 15. The two tubes 13a, 13b are themselves articulated by their second ends 16a, 16b, opposite the ends 14a, 14b, on the chevron connecting pieces 6 for the ridge 11, and the farm support pieces 9 for the crosspieces 12a and 12b.
- the tubes 13a, 13b forming a lateral crosspiece 12a or 12b are articulated on the farm support pieces 9 so that they can each pivot around an axis 17 perpendicular to the corresponding pan of the roof and be folded against the rafter 5a , 5b neighbor for transport.
- the tubes 13a, 13b forming the ridge 11 are articulated on the rafters connecting pieces 6 so that they can pivot around a horizontal axis 18 parallel to the plane of the trusses 3 and be folded down.
- the chevron connecting pieces 6 have abutment walls 19 intended to limit the deflection of the tubes 13a, 13b of the ridge 11, said abutment walls 19 being in abutment against the wall of the corresponding tube 13a and 13b when the two tubes 13a and 13b are aligned.
- the farm support parts 9 comprise abutment walls 19 intended to limit the movement of the tubes 13a, 13b of the lateral crosspieces 12a, 12b.
- abutment walls 19 constitute the means for blocking the ridge 11 and the lateral crosspieces 12a and 12b when these are in the assembled state.
- the ridge 11 and the lateral crosspieces 12a, 12b comprise locking means, tubes 13a, 13b end to end. These means are intended to stiffen the ridge 11 and the crosspieces 12a, 12b.
- FIGS 2 and 3 show a first embodiment of the articulation joint 15 connecting the two tubes 13a and 13b.
- This articulation joint 15 is in the form of a sleeve 20 of elastic material having a lateral slot 27 having a width less than the thickness of the tubes 13a and 13b and whose lips 22a and 22b constitute the means for locking in alignment the tubes 13a and 13b.
- the tubes 13a and 13b are fixed to the sleeve 20 by means of pins 23a and 23b arranged parallel to the plane of the lips 22a, 22b so as to allow a pivoting of 90 ° of the tubes 13a and 13b relative to the sleeve 20.
- the tubes 13a and 13b each consist of two tubular elements which can rotate one inside the other, one of said tubular elements being integral with a herringbone connecting piece 6 or a piece of farm support 9, and the other tubular element being integral with the sleeve 20.
- the sleeve 20 is turned by half a turn.
- the end walls 24 of the sleeve 20, opposite to the slot 21 then constitute abutment walls for the tubes 13a and 13b.
- Figures 4 to 6 show a second embodiment of the articulation joint 15.
- the articulation joint 15 fits into the ends of the tubes 13a and 13b and the locking means for holding the two tubes 13a and 13b in alignment in the assembled state, comprise a sleeve 25 which can slide on the tube 13a and partially cover the tubes 13a and 13b and completely the articulation joint 15.
- the tube 13a has a button 26 cooperating with a latch 27 provided on the sleeve 25 for locking the latter by rotation in the assembled state.
- the rafters 5a and 5b are in the form of two telescopic tubes provided with locking means 28. This further reduces the volume of the assembly forming the roof of the frame in the folded state .
- Figure 6 shows the arrangement of the various elements forming the roof of the frame of the invention during the folding or deployment phase. We note that all these elements remain linked to each other.
- the frame 1 comprises two gantries 2a, 2b. It's obvious that the invention also relates to a frame comprising several gantries connected together by ridge tiles and lateral crosspieces. Similarly, the frame 1 of the invention may have at its ends longitudinal members 29 extending the ridge 11 and the lateral crosspieces 12a and 12b beyond a truss 3.
- the frame 1 of Figure 1 has longitudinal members 29 having at their free ends 30 hooks 31 intended to cooperate with attachment means provided on the tent frame of an extendable caravan or on a wall of a caravan rigid.
- These longitudinal members 29 are articulated on the farm support part 9, like the ridge 11 and the lateral crosspieces 12a, 12b. They can be foldable or made in the form of telescopic tubes.
- the frame 1 when used to make a canopy of an extendable caravan or a canopy of a rigid caravan, it can be limited to a single gantry 2b and to the side members 29 described above.
- the uprights 4a, 4b supporting a truss 2a can also be articulated at their upper ends on the truss support piece 9, in such a way that they can be folded up and inwards so as to be housed between the two rafters 5a, 5b from farm 2a.
- the uprights 4a, 4b can also be produced in two foldable parts, similar to the ridge 11 and to the lateral crosspieces 12a, 12b, and connected by a joint joint associated with locking means, this joint joint being similar to the joint hinge 15 described above.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine des tentes de camping ou de caravaning comportant une armature rigide destinée à soutenir la toile de tente.The present invention relates to the field of camping or caravan tents comprising a rigid frame intended to support the tent fabric.
Elle concerne plus précisément une armature pour tente de forme rectangulaire ayant un toit à deux pans, susceptible d'être démontée pour le transport ou le rangement, ladite armature étant réalisée par un assemblage de tubes et de pièces de liaison et présentant, à l'état monté, au moins deux portiques semblables, espacés l'un de l'autre et comportant chacun une ferme en forme de V inversé réalisée par un assemblage de deux chevrons et d'une pièce de liaison de chevrons, ladite ferme étant susceptible d'être portée par deux montants sensiblement verticaux par l'intermédiaire de pièces de support de ferme prévues aux extrémités inférieures desdits chevrons, lesdites deux fermes étant rigidement liées entre elles par un faîtage reliant les pièces de liaison de chevrons et par deux traverses latérales disposées parallèlement audit faîtage et reliant respectivement les pièces de support de ferme desdites deux fermes.It relates more precisely to a tent frame of rectangular shape having a two-sided roof, which can be dismantled for transport or storage, said frame being produced by an assembly of tubes and connecting parts and having, at the assembled state, at least two similar gantries, spaced from each other and each comprising an inverted V-shaped truss produced by an assembly of two rafters and a chevron connecting piece, said truss being capable of be carried by two substantially vertical uprights by means of truss support pieces provided at the lower ends of said rafters, said two trusses being rigidly linked together by a ridge connecting the rafter connecting pieces and by two lateral crosspieces arranged parallel to said ridge and connecting respectively the farm support pieces of said two farms.
Ce type d'armature pour tente est connu depuis longtemps. Il est notamment utilisé pour réaliser les auvents des tentes sur remorques tractables dites caravanes extensibles, ou les auvents de caravanes rigides ou des abris. L'armature peut évidemment comporter plus de deux portiques. Dans le cas d'une utilisation en tant qu'auvent avec une caravane extensible ou une caravane rigide, un portique d'extrémité est relié à l'armature de ladite caravane par des tubes complémentaires prolongeant le faîtage et les traverses latérales de l'armature de l'auvent. Dans ce cas d'utilisation, l'armature peut ne comporter qu'un seul portique, le deuxième portique étant remplacé par des moyens de fixation desdits tubes complémentaires.This type of tent frame has been known for a long time. It is especially used to make the awnings of tents on towable trailers called extendable caravans, or the awnings of rigid caravans or shelters. The frame can obviously have more than two gantries. In the case of use as an awning with an extendable caravan or a rigid caravan, an end gantry is connected to the frame of said caravan by complementary tubes extending the ridge and the lateral crosspieces of the frame of the awning. In this case of use, the frame may have only one gantry, the second gantry being replaced by means for fixing said complementary tubes.
Actuellement le montage de l'armature est réalisé en assemblant des tubes à l'aide de pièces de liaison. Les tubes et les pièces de liaison ne sont pas nécessairement interchangeables. Le montage nécessite donc, de la part du monteur, une bonne connaissance du dispositif et prend un temps assez considérable. Le démontage se fait par désassemblage des divers éléments, et il faut veiller à ne pas oublier un tube ou une pièce de liaison sur le terrain, car alors il deviendrait impossible de monter correctement la tente sur le lieu de villégiature suivant.Currently the mounting of the armature is carried out by assembling tubes using connecting pieces. The tubes and the connecting parts are not necessarily interchangeable. The assembly therefore requires, on the part of the editor, a good knowledge of the device and takes a fairly considerable time. Dismantling is done by disassembly of the various elements, and care must be taken not to forget a tube or a connecting piece on the ground, because then it would become impossible to properly pitch the tent at the next vacation spot.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer une armature du type mentionnée ci-dessus dont le montage est considérablement facilité et dans laquelle les éléments constitutifs de l'armature, notamment de la partie formant la toiture, restent liés entre eux pour le transport et le rangement.The object of the present invention is to provide a frame of the type mentioned above, the mounting of which is considerably facilitated and in which the constituent elements of the frame, in particular of the part forming the roof, remain linked to each other for transport and tidying up.
L'invention atteint son but par le fait que la partie formant la toiture de l'armature est repliable.The invention achieves its object by the fact that the part forming the roof of the frame is foldable.
Selon l'invention l'armature est caractérisée en ce que les chevrons d'une ferme sont articulés sur la pièce de liaison de chevrons de telle manière qu'ils puissent être disposés côte à côte pour le transport, et maintenus écartés l'un de l'autre à l'état monté, et sont fixés respectivement à leur extrémité inférieure sur une pièce de support de ferme,
en ce que le faîtage et les deux traverses comportent chacun deux tubes articulés entre eux à leurs premières extrémités et articulés à leurs deuxièmes extrémités, opposées auxdites premières extrémités, sur les pièces de liaison de chevrons ou les pièces de support de ferme, de telle manière que lesdits deux tubes puissent être repliés pour le transport, et puissent être déployés et alignés bout à bout à l'état monté, et
comportent de plus des moyens de verrouillage pour maintenir lesdits deux tubes en alignement à l'état monté, et
en ce qu'il est prévu des moyens de blocage du faîtage et des traverses sur les fermes à l'état monté.According to the invention the frame is characterized in that the rafters of a farm are articulated on the connecting piece of rafters so that they can be arranged side by side for transport, and kept apart one of the other in the assembled state, and are fixed respectively at their lower end to a farm support piece,
in that the ridge and the two crosspieces each have two tubes hinged together at their first ends and hinged at their second ends, opposite said first ends, on the rafters connecting pieces or the farm support pieces, in such a way that said two tubes can be folded up for transport, and can be deployed and aligned end to end in the assembled state, and
further include locking means for keeping said two tubes in alignment in the assembled state, and
in that there is provided means for blocking the ridge and crosspieces on the trusses in the assembled state.
Avantageusement les tubes formant les traverses sont articulés sur les pièces de support de ferme de telle manière qu'ils puissent pivoter autour d'un axe perpendiculaire au pan correspondant du toit et être rabattus contre le chevron voisin pour le transport. Les tubes formant le faîtage sont articulés sur les pièces de liaison de chevrons de telle manière qu'ils puissent pivoter autour d'un axe horizontal parallèle au plan général des fermes et être rabattus vers le bas pour le transport. Les chevrons d'une ferme sont articulés sur la pièce de liaison de chevrons de telle manière qu'ils puissent pivoter autour d'un axe perpendiculaire au plan général de ladite ferme.Advantageously, the tubes forming the crosspieces are articulated on the farm support pieces in such a way that they can pivot around an axis perpendicular to the corresponding pan of the roof and be folded against the neighboring rafter for transport. The tubes forming the ridge are articulated on the rafter connecting pieces in such a way that they can pivot around a horizontal axis parallel to the general plane of the trusses and be folded down for transport. The rafters of a farm are articulated on the connecting piece of rafters so that they can pivot around an axis perpendicular to the general plane of said farm.
Grâce à cette structure, l'ensemble formant le toit de l'armature se présente, à l'état de rangement ou de transport, comme un paquet de tubes disposés côte à côte et liés entre eux. Le déploiement du toit peut se faire de deux façons. Soit on écarte d'abord les chevrons pour former le V inversé, puis on écarte les fermes pour aligner les tubes du faîtage et des traverses et on verrouille les tubes deux par deux par les moyens de verrouillage. Soit on écarte d'abord les fermes pour aligner les tubes du faîtage et des traverses, puis on verrouille les tubes deux par deux par les moyens de verrouillage, et enfin on écarte les deux pans du toit. Il ne reste plus qu'à soulever le toit et placer les montants verticaux sous les fermes.Thanks to this structure, the assembly forming the roof of the frame is, in the storage or transport state, like a bundle of tubes arranged side by side and linked together. Deploying the roof can be done in two ways. Either we first remove the rafters to form the inverted V, then we separate the trusses to align the ridge tubes and crosspieces and we lock the tubes two by two by the locking means. Either we first spread the trusses to align the ridge tubes and crosspieces, then we lock the tubes two by two by the locking means, and finally we spread the two sides of the roof. It only remains to raise the roof and place the vertical uprights under the trusses.

Les dessins montrent une armature 1 d'une tente de forme rectangulaire présentant un toit à deux pans, destinée plus particulièrement à former l'auvent d'une tente de caravane extensible.The drawings show a frame 1 of a rectangular tent with a two-sided roof, intended more particularly to form the canopy of an extendable caravan tent.
L'armature 1 comporte essentiellement deux portiques 2a, 2b parallèles et espacés l'un de l'autre. Les deux portiques 2a, 2b sont semblables, aussi seul l'un d'entre eux, 2a par exemple, sera décrit en détail.The frame 1 essentially comprises two
Le portique 2a comprend une ferme 3 en forme de V inversé susceptible d'être montée sur deux montants 4a, 4b sensiblement verticaux. La ferme 3 comporte deux chevrons 5a, 5b articulés à leurs extrémités supérieures sur une pièce de liaison de chevrons 6 de telle manière que les chevrons 5a et 5b puissent pivoter autour d'un axe horizontal 7 perpendiculaire au plan général de la ferme 3, entre une position déployée correspondant à l'état monté de l'armature 3 dans laquelle les deux chevrons 5a, 5b sont écartés l'un de l'autre et sont en appui contre une paroi de butée 8 formée dans la pièce de liaison de chevrons 6 et une position repliée, utilisée pour le rangement ou le transport de l'armature 3, dans laquelle les deux chevrons 5a, 5b sont disposés côte à côte. Une pièce de support de ferme 9 est fixée à l'extrémité inférieure de chacun des deux chevrons 5a, 5b. Cette pièce de support de ferme 9 comporte notamment un élément tubulaire 10 pouvant s'emboîter dans la partie supérieure d'un montant 4a, 4b.The
Les deux fermes voisines 3 des deux portiques 2a, 2b sont rigidement liées entre elles par un faîtage 11 et deux traverses latérales 12a, 12b parallèles au faîtage 11.The two neighboring
Le faîtage 11 relie les pièces de liaison de chevrons 6 des deux portiques 2a, 2b.The
Les traverses latérales 12a, 12b relient respectivement les pièces de support de ferme 9 gauches et droites des deux portiques 2a, 2b.The
Le faîtage 11 et les deux traverses latérales 12a, 12b ont des structures identiques. Ils sont constitués chacun des deux tubes 13a, 13b, d'égale longueur, articulés entre eux à leurs premières extrémités 14a, 14b grâce à un joint d'articulation 15. Les deux tubes 13a, 13b sont eux-mêmes articulés par leurs deuxièmes extrémités 16a, 16b, opposées aux extrémités 14a, 14b, sur les pièces de liaison de chevrons 6 pour le faîtage 11, et les pièces de support de ferme 9 pour les traverses 12a et 12b.The
Les tubes 13a, 13b formant une traverse latérale 12a ou 12b sont articulés sur les pièces de support de ferme 9 de telle manière qu'ils puissent pivoter chacun autour d'un axe 17 perpendiculaire au pan correspondant du toit et être rabattus contre le chevron 5a, 5b voisin pour le transport.The
Les tubes 13a, 13b formant le faîtage 11 sont articulés sur les pièces de liaison de chevrons 6 de telle manière qu'ils puissent pivoter autour d'un axe horizontal 18 parallèle au plan des fermes 3 et être rabattus vers le bas.The
Les pièces de liaison de chevrons 6 comportent des parois de butée 19 destinées à limiter le débattement des tubes 13a, 13b du faîtage 11, lesdites parois de butée 19 étant en appui contre la paroi du tube correspondant 13a et 13b lorsque les deux tubes 13a et 13b sont alignés.The
De même, les pièces de support de ferme 9 comportent des parois de butée 19 destinées à limiter le débattement des tubes 13a, 13b des traverses latérales 12a, 12b.Likewise, the farm support parts 9 comprise
Ces parois de butée 19 constituent les moyens de blocage du faîtage 11 et des traverses latérales 12a et 12b lorsque ceux-ci sont à l'état monté.These
De façon à éviter que l'armature 1 puisse se déformer lorsqu'elle est à l'état monté, le faîtage 11 et les traverses latérales 12a, 12b, comportent des moyens de verrouillage, des tubes 13a, 13b bout à bout. Ces moyens sont destinés à rigidifier le faîtage 11 et les traverses 12a, 12b.In order to prevent the armature 1 from being able to deform when it is in the assembled state, the
Les figures 2 et 3 montrent un premier mode de réalisation du joint d'articulation 15 reliant les deux tubes 13a et 13b. Ce joint d'articulation 15 se présente sous la forme d'un manchon 20 en matériau élastique présentant une fente latérale 27 ayant une largeur inférieure à l'épaisseur des tubes 13a et 13b et dont les lèvres 22a et 22b constituent les moyens de verrouillage en alignement des tubes 13a et 13b. Les tubes 13a et 13b sont fixés sur le manchon 20 au moyen de broches 23a et 23b disposées parallèlement au plan des lèvres 22a, 22b de manière à permettre un pivotement de 90° des tubes 13a et 13b par rapport au manchon 20.Figures 2 and 3 show a first embodiment of the
Selon une variante de réalisation, les tubes 13a et 13b sont constitués chacun de deux éléments tubulaires pouvant tourner l'un dans l'autre, l'un desdits éléments tubulaires étant solidaire d'une pièce de liaison de chevrons 6 ou d'une pièce de support de ferme 9, et l'autre élément tubulaire étant solidaire du manchon 20. Après déploiement du faîtage 11 et des traverses latérales 12a et 12b, on tourne le manchon 20 d'un demi-tour. Les parois d'extrémité 24 du manchon 20, opposées à la fente 21 constituent alors des parois de butée pour les tubes 13a et 13b.According to an alternative embodiment, the
Les figures 4 à 6 montrent un deuxième mode de réalisation du joint d'articulation 15. Dans ce mode de réalisation, le joint d'articulation 15 s'emboîte dans les extrémités des tubes 13a et 13b et les moyens de verrouillage pour maintenir les deux tubes 13a et 13b en alignement à l'état monté, comprennent un manchon 25 pouvant coulisser sur le tube 13a et venir recouvrir partiellement les tubes 13a et 13b et complètement le joint d'articulation 15.Figures 4 to 6 show a second embodiment of the
Le tube 13a comporte un bouton 26 coopérant avec une enclenche 27 prévue sur le manchon 25 pour le verrouillage de ce dernier par rotation à l'état monté.The
Selon une variante de réalisation, les chevrons 5a et 5b se présentent sous la forme de deux tubes télescopiques munis de moyens de blocage 28. Ceci permet encore de diminuer le volume de l'ensemble formant le toit de l'armature à l'état replié.According to an alternative embodiment, the
La figure 6 montre la disposition des divers éléments formant le toit de l'armature de l'invention lors de la phase de repliage ou de déploiement. On remarque que tous ces éléments restent liés entre eux.Figure 6 shows the arrangement of the various elements forming the roof of the frame of the invention during the folding or deployment phase. We note that all these elements remain linked to each other.
Dans la description faite ci-dessus, on a mentionné que l'armature 1 comporte deux portiques 2a, 2b. Il est évident que l'invention concerne égale.ment une armature comportant plusieurs portiques reliés entre eux par des faîtages et des traverses latérales. De même l'armature 1 de l'invention peut présenter à ses extrémités des longerons 29 prolongeant le faîtage 11 et les traverses latérales 12a et 12b au-delà d'une ferme 3.In the description given above, it was mentioned that the frame 1 comprises two
