Abstract

The ground strip (7) is made from a waterproof and washable or disposable material and is fastened to the lower edge of a tent or awning wall (4) to keep out damp and draughts. The strip is held in place by temporary fastenings such as strips (11,12) of hook and loop material, sliding clasp fasteners, or an edge bead on one component which engages with an open-sided plastics tube on the other. The strip could be manufactured to a standard width and sold off the roll so that any required length could be purchased.

Description

L'invention a trait à un accessoire pour auvent ou toile de tente. Dans les auvents ou toiles de tente connus, la partie inférieure des cloisons formant les faces ou les côtés de l'auvent ou de la toile de tente est constituée par une bande communément désignée sous le terme "toile à pourrir". Cette toile à pourrir est destinée à reposer sur le sol, afin de rendre relativement étanche l'auvent ou la toile de tente dont elle fait partie.The invention relates to an accessory for awning or tent fabric. In known awnings or tent fabrics, the lower part of the partitions forming the faces or the sides of the awning or of the tent fabric is constituted by a strip commonly designated by the term "rotting fabric". This rotting fabric is intended to rest on the ground, in order to make the awning or the tent fabric of which it is part relatively waterproof.

Compte-tenu de sa position sur ou à proximité du sol, cette toile à pourrir a tendance à se salir et on prévoit généralement de la réaliser dans une matière imputrescible telle qu'une matière plastique et, par exemple du polyuréthanne ou polychlorure de vinyle (PVC), afin qu'elle puisse être facilement nettoyée à l'eau éventuellement additionnée d'un détergent. Or, lorsque l'on nettoie une telle toile à pourrir à l'eau, on doit prendre des précautions afin de ne pas mouiller le reste de l'auvent ou de la toile de tente qui est généralement constitué d'une toile en coton enduit.Given its position on or near the ground, this rotting fabric tends to get dirty and it is generally planned to make it in a rot-proof material such as a plastic and, for example polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride ( PVC), so that it can be easily cleaned with water, possibly with the addition of a detergent. However, when cleaning such a rotting canvas with water, care must be taken so as not to wet the rest of the awning or tent canvas, which generally consists of a coated cotton canvas .

En effet, si l'on mouille la toile, des auréoles peuvent subsister même lorsque celle-ci a séché, car l'eau qui est projetée sur cette toile contient éventuellement un détergent et/ou des souillures telle que de la terre qui est alors déposée sur ses parois. De plus, les coutures de fixation de la toile à pourrir sur l'auvent ou la tente sont mouillées et plus longues à sécher que la toile elle-même. Il faut attendre le séchage complet de ces coutures avant de plier l'auvent ou la tente, faute de quoi elles risquent de pourrir.In fact, if the canvas is wetted, halos can remain even after it has dried, because the water which is projected onto this canvas possibly contains a detergent and / or stains such as soil which is then deposited on its walls. In addition, the fixing seams of the rotting canvas on the awning or tent are wet and take longer to dry than the canvas itself. These seams must be completely dried before folding the awning or tent, otherwise they may rot.

En outre, la position du campeur qui nettoie une toile à pourrir est inconfortable du fait de la localisation de cette toile à pourrir à proximité du sol. Il est connu des campeurs qui quittent un emplacement à l'issue d'une période de vacances, de procéder au nettoyage des toiles à pourrir de leur auvent ou de leur toile de tente, en dépiquetant partiellement l'auvent ou la toile de tente de façon à pouvoir relever la toile à pourrir afin de travailler dans une position moins inconfortable. Cependant, pendant toute la durée de l'opération de nettoyage et pendant le séchage qui doit nécessairement intervenir avant le pliage de l'auvent ou de la toile de tente, celui-ci ou celle-ci demeure généralement au moins partiellement dépiqueté(e), de sorte que, en cas de vent ou de courant d'air, même de faible force, il arrive que des auvents ou des toiles de tente soient arrachés et emportés par un courant d'air, ce qui est préjudiciable tant pour l'auvent ou la toile de tente eux-mêmes, que pour les personnes et les biens se trouvant à proximité.In addition, the position of the camper who cleans a rotting cloth is uncomfortable because of the location of this rotting cloth near the ground. It is known to campers who leave a pitch at the end of a holiday period, to clean the rotting fabrics from their awning or their tent canvas, by partially peeling the awning or the tent canvas from in order to be able to raise the fabric to rot in order to work in a less uncomfortable position. However, throughout the duration of the cleaning operation and during the drying which must necessarily take place before the folding of the awning or the tent fabric, this or this generally remains at least partially shredded, so that, in the event of wind or draft, even of weak force, it happens that awnings or tent fabrics are torn off and carried away by a draft, which is detrimental both for the awning or the tent itself, and for people and property nearby.

Certains auvents de caravane ou certaines toiles de tente sont munis de cloisons équipées de fermetures à glissière, de telle sorte qu'une partie de ces cloisons peut être relevée par très beau temps afin d'aérer l'intérieur de l'auvent ou de la toile de tente. Une telle cloison est généralement relevée en l'enroulant sur elle-même et en fixant le rouleau ainsi obtenu à la partie supérieure de l'auvent ou de la tente. Dans une version moins élaborée, la cloison est relevée en la posant sur le toit de l'auvent ou de la tente. Dans tous les cas, la toile à pourrir est en contact avec la cloison en question ou avec le toit de l'auvent ou de la tente et si cette toile à pourrir est salie, par exemple à cause des projections de terre résultant d'une pluie survenue un jour précédent, ces salissures sont déposées sur la toile en coton de la cloison ou du toit.Some caravan awnings or some tent canvases are fitted with partitions fitted with zippers, so that part of these partitions can be raised in very good weather in order to ventilate the interior of the awning or the tent. Such a partition is generally raised by winding it on itself and by fixing the roll thus obtained to the upper part of the awning or the tent. In a less elaborate version, the partition is raised by placing it on the roof of the awning or tent. In all cases, the rotting fabric is in contact with the partition in question or with the roof of the awning or tent and if this rotting fabric is dirty, for example due to the projections of soil resulting from a rain occurred the previous day, this dirt is deposited on the cotton canvas of the partition or the roof.

L'invention vise à résoudre les problèmes ci-dessus en proposant un accessoire pour auvent ou toile de tente permettant d'intervenir sur celui-ci, par exemple pour son nettoyage, sans devoir travailler dans une position inconfortable ou mettre en danger l'auvent lui-même ou les personnes se trouvant à proximité.The invention aims to solve the above problems by proposing an accessory for awning or tent fabric making it possible to work on it, for example for cleaning it, without having to work in an uncomfortable position or endanger the awning. himself or anyone nearby.

Dans cet esprit, l'invention concerne un accessoire pour auvent ou toile de tente constitué par une bande destinée à reposer sur le sol en étant fixée à une cloison dudit auvent ou de ladite tente, caractérisée en ce que ladite bande est fixée sur ladite cloison de façon amovible.In this spirit, the invention relates to an accessory for awning or tent canvas constituted by a strip intended to rest on the ground while being fixed to a partition of said awning or of said tent, characterized in that said strip is fixed to said partition removably.

Grâce à l'invention, la bande qui constitue la toile à pourrir peut être détachée de la cloison lorsqu'il est nécessaire d'intervenir sur la toile à pourrir, en particulier lors du nettoyage de celle-ci. Il est alors possible d'emporter la toile à pourrir en question jusqu'à un local confortable et équipé pour des opérations de nettoyage tel que par exemple un lavoir. En particulier, aucun détergent n'est déversé dans le sol sur l'emplacement de la caravane ou de la toile de tente.Thanks to the invention, the strip which constitutes the rotting fabric can be detached from the partition when it is necessary to intervene on the rotting fabric, in particular during the cleaning thereof. It is then possible to take the rotting fabric in question to a comfortable room equipped for cleaning operations such as for example a to see her. In particular, no detergent is spilled into the ground on the site of the caravan or tent.

En outre, si on souhaite aérer l'auvent ou la toile de tente en question, il est possible de désolidariser une ou plusieurs bandes formant la toile à pourrir de la ou des cloisons sur la ou lesquelles, elle est ou sont fixée(s), de sorte qu'un courant d'air peut être facilement instauré à l'intérieur de l'auvent ou de la tente.In addition, if it is desired to ventilate the awning or the tent fabric in question, it is possible to separate one or more strips forming the rotting fabric from the partition (s) on which it is or are fixed. , so that a draft can be easily established inside the awning or tent.

De plus, si l'on désire ouvrir complètement un côté de l'auvent ou de la tente en rabattant une cloison sur le toit ou en l'enroulant sur elle-même, on peut prévoir que, si la toile à pourrir est sale, on désolidarise celle-ci de la cloison en question avant d'enrouler ou de rabattre la cloison sur le toit, de sorte que la toile à pourrir souillée ne salit pas la cloison enroulée sur elle-même ou le toit sur lequel repose la cloison.In addition, if you want to completely open one side of the awning or tent by folding down a partition on the roof or by rolling it up on itself, we can predict that, if the fabric to rot is dirty, this is separated from the partition in question before winding up or folding down the partition on the roof, so that the soiled rotting fabric does not soil the partition rolled up on itself or the roof on which the partition rests.

Selon les différentes variantes de l'invention, on peut prévoir que la bande est fixée sur la cloison au moyen d'un dispositif à boucles et crochets tel que commercialisé par la société VELCRO, par une fermeture à glissière, par un jonc pénétrant dans une encoche, par des pressions ou par tout autre moyen permettant de fixer de façon amovible la bande de toile à pourrir sur la cloison.According to the different variants of the invention, it can be provided that the strip is fixed to the partition by means of a device with loops and hooks as marketed by the company VELCRO, by a zipper, by a rod penetrating into a notch, by pressures or by any other means making it possible to removably fix the strip of fabric to rot on the partition.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, la fixation de la bande sur la cloison est renforcée à ses extrémités afin d'éviter un arrachement accidentel de la bande par rapport à la cloison.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the fixing of the strip on the partition is reinforced at its ends in order to avoid accidental tearing of the strip relative to the partition.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, la bande est fixée sur la cloison sur une partie formant rabat située en dessous du point d'attache sur la cloison des tendeurs arrimant cette cloison au sol. Ainsi, la cloison en question peut être maintenue arrimée au sol, que la bande formant la toile à pourrir soit présente ou non, ce qui garantit que l'auvent ou la toile de tente ne sera pas emporté par le vent lorsqu'on travaille sur la toile à pourrir, par exemple pour la nettoyer.According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the strip is fixed to the partition on a part forming a flap situated below the point of attachment to the partition of the tensioners securing this partition to the ground. Thus, the partition in question can be kept stowed on the ground, whether the strip forming the rotting fabric is present or not, which guarantees that the awning or the tent fabric will not be carried by the wind when working on the canvas to rot, for example to clean it.

Selon un aspect avantageux de l'invention, on peut prévoir que la bande formant la toile à pourrir est jetable, de sorte qu'il n'est plus nécessaire de la nettoyer, par exemple au terme d'une période de vacances. Ceci permet aux campeurs de gagner du temps lors du démontage de leur auvent ou de leur toile de tente.According to an advantageous aspect of the invention, it can be provided that the strip forming the fabric to be rotten is disposable, so that it is no longer necessary to clean it, for example at the end of a holiday period. This saves campers time when dismantling their awning or tent.

L'invention concerne enfin un auvent ou une toile de tente comprenant un accessoire conforme à l'invention.The invention finally relates to an awning or a tent fabric comprising an accessory according to the invention.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement à la lumière de la description qui va suivre de deux modes de réalisation d'un accessoire pour auvent ou toile de tente conforme à son principe, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une caravane équipée d'un auvent selon l'invention.
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective et en coupe d'un détail de l'auvent de la figure 1 selon la ligne II-II à la figure 1 et
  • la figure 3 est une vue similaire à la figure 1 pour un second mode de réalisation de l'invention.
The invention will be better understood and other advantages of it will appear more clearly in the light of the following description of two embodiments of an accessory for awning or tent canvas in accordance with its principle, given only to as an example and made with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a caravan equipped with a canopy according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view in section of a detail of the awning in FIG. 1 along the line II-II in FIG. 1 and
  • Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 for a second embodiment of the invention.

La caravane 1 de la figure 1 est équipée, d'une manière connue en soi, d'un auvent 2 essentiellement constitué d'un toit 3 et de trois cloisons formant les faces ou les côtés de l'auvent, dont deux sont visibles ici, à savoir la face avant 4 et une cloison latérale gauche 5. Chacune des cloisons 4 ou 5 peut être munie de surfaces translucides 4a, 5a destinées à permettre l'éclairage de l'intérieur de l'auvent par la lumière extérieure.The caravan 1 of Figure 1 is equipped, in a manner known per se, with a canopy 2 essentially consisting of a roof 3 and three partitions forming the faces or sides of the canopy, two of which are visible here , namely the front face 4 and a left side wall 5. Each of the partitions 4 and 5 may be provided with translucent surfaces 4, 5a for allowing the illumination of the interior of the canopy by the outside light.

Conformément à l'invention, chaque cloison 4 ou 5 est munie de bandes 6, 7 et 8 destinées à reposer sur le sol pour constituer des toiles à pourrir et qui sont fixées de façon amovible sur les cloisons correspondantes. Chaque bande 6, 7 et 8 peut être munie d'oeillets 10 soudés ou cousus pour permettre le passage de piquets de fixation de la bande au sol.According to the invention, each partition 4 or 5 is provided with strips 6, 7 and 8 intended to rest on the ground to form fabrics to rot and which are removably attached to the corresponding partitions. Each strip 6, 7 and 8 may be provided with eyelets 10 welded or sewn to allow the passage of stakes for fixing the strip to the ground.

Comme il apparaît plus clairement à la figure 2, la bande 7 est fixée sur la cloison 4 au moyen d'un système à boucles et crochets constitué par deux rubans 11 et 12 respectivement cousus sur la bande 7 et la cloison 4 et munis pour l'un de boucles et pour l'autre de crochets, afin de pouvoir constituer une liaison amovible.As can be seen more clearly in FIG. 2, the strip 7 is fixed to the partition 4 by means of a loop and hook system consisting of two ribbons 11 and 12 respectively sewn on the strip 7 and the partition 4 and provided for the '' of loops and for the other of hooks, in order to be able to constitute a removable link.

La bande 12 est cousue sur un rabat 4b de la cloison 4 qui est située en dessous du point d'attache 4c d'un tendeur 13 arrimant la cloison 4 au sol au moyen de piquets 14. Ainsi, la cloison 4 demeure tendue par rapport au sol, y compris lorsque la bande 7 est désolidarisée du rabat 4b. Cette particularité peut avantageusement être utilisée pour aérer l'intérieur de l'auvent en dégrafant partiellement une bande, comme cela est représenté avec la bande 6 sur la figure 1 sur laquelle est exercée un effort suivant la flèche F.The strip 12 is sewn onto a flap 4 b of the partition 4 which is located below the point of attachment 4 c of a tensioner 13 securing the partition 4 to the ground by means of stakes 14. Thus, the partition 4 remains taut relative to the ground, including when the strip 7 is detached from the flap 4 b . This feature can advantageously be used to ventilate the interior of the awning by partially unclogging a strip, as shown with the strip 6 in FIG. 1 on which a force is exerted according to arrow F.

Comme il apparaît en particulier à la figure 2, une patte 15 peut être prévue à l'extrémité de la bande 7, cette patte 15 est pourvue d'un bouton pression 16 destiné à coopérer avec une pression fixée sur la face externe du rabat 4b au voisinage de son extrémité. Lorsque le bouton pression est en place, il contribue à renforcer la fixation de la bande 7 sur la cloison 4 dans sa zone d'extrémité afin d'éviter un arrachement accidentel de la toile à pourrir. Ainsi, lorsque l'on désire ôter la toile à pourrir 7 de la cloison 4, il suffit d'ouvrir la pression 16 et de dégrafer le système à boucles et crochets constitué par les rubans 11 et 12.As it appears in particular in FIG. 2, a tab 15 can be provided at the end of the strip 7, this tab 15 is provided with a press button 16 intended to cooperate with a pressure fixed on the external face of the flap 4 b near its end. When the press button is in place, it contributes to strengthening the fixing of the strip 7 on the partition 4 in its end zone in order to avoid accidental tearing of the fabric to be rotted. Thus, when it is desired to remove the rotting fabric 7 from the partition 4, it suffices to open the pressure 16 and unclip the system with loops and hooks constituted by the ribbons 11 and 12.

Selon une variante non représentée de l'invention, le sytème à boucles et crochets peut être remplacé par une fermeture à glissière dont un côté est cousu sur le rabat 4b alors que l'autre côté est cousu sur la partie supérieure de la bande 7.According to a variant not shown of the invention, the loop and hook system can be replaced by a zipper, one side of which is sewn on the flap 4 b while the other side is sewn on the upper part of the strip 7 .

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté à la figure 3, un autre système de fixation amovible est mis en oeuvre dans lequel un jonc 20 est logé dans une boucle 7a formée par le bord supérieur de la bande 7. La partie inférieure de la cloison 4 est, quant à elle, pourvue d'une encoche élastique 4d réalisée par le raccordement d'une armature élastique 21 en matière plastique sur la toile 4. Le jonc 20 peut ainsi être inséré en force dans l'encoche 4d, ce qui conduit à la fixation de la bande 7 sur la cloison 4. Lorsqu'il est nécessaire de désolidariser la bande 7 de la cloison 4, une traction sur la bande 7 dans le sens de la flèche F' permet d'extraire le jonc 20 de l'encoche 4d en utilisant l'élasticité de l'armature 21.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, another removable fixing system is implemented in which a rod 20 is housed in a loop 7 a formed by the upper edge of the strip 7. The lower part of the partition 4 is, for its part, provided with an elastic notch 4 d produced by the connection of an elastic reinforcement 21 of plastic material on the fabric 4. The rod 20 can thus be forcibly inserted into the notch 4 d , which leads to the fixing of the strip 7 on the partition 4. When it is necessary to separate the strip 7 from the partition 4, a pull on the strip 7 in the direction of the arrow F 'makes it possible to extract the rod 20 from the notch 4 d using the elasticity of the frame 21.

Selon une autre variante non représentée de l'invention, la bande 7 peut être fixée sur la cloison 4 au moyen de pressions régulièrement réparties sur sa longueur.According to another variant not shown of the invention, the strip 7 can be fixed to the partition 4 by means of pressures regularly distributed over its length.

Dans tous les cas, et quel que soit le mode de fixation de la bande de la toile à pourrir sur la cloison, cette bande peut être facilement démontée en vue de son nettoyage et le lavage de la toile à pourrir à grande eau ne risque pas de salir la cloison 4 en coton enduit.In all cases, and whatever the method of fixing the strip of rotting cloth on the partition, this strip can be easily removed for cleaning and washing the rotting cloth with large amounts of water does not risk to dirty the partition 4 in coated cotton.

En outre, dans le cas d'un système de fixation peu onéreux, tel qu'un système à boucles et crochets ou un système à jonc, on peut prévoir que la bande formant la toile à pourrir est jetable et qu'elle est remplacée après une utilisation de quelques semaines ou lorsqu'elle est particulièrement sale à cause de sa mise en place sur un terrain argileux et/ou non pourvu de végétation.In addition, in the case of an inexpensive fastening system, such as a hook and loop system or a rod system, it can be provided that the strip forming the fabric to be rot is disposable and that it is replaced after use for a few weeks or when it is particularly dirty because of its placement on clay soil and / or not provided with vegetation.

Enfin, comme il apparaît à la figure 1, les bandes 6, 7 et 8 ont une longueur telles qu'elles se chevauchent dans une zone 25 de raccordement angulaire des cloisons sensiblement perpendiculaires 4 et 5. Pour ce faire, il suffit de couper les bandes 6, 7 et 8 à la dimension de la largeur ou de la fraction de la largeur de la cloison sur laquelle elles doivent être fixées, cette dimension étant augmentée de la largeur de la bande afin de permettre le recouvrement. Dans la zone de recouvrement, plusieurs oeillets 10 peuvent être prévus pour garantir l'attache des bandes de toiles à pourrir sur le sol.Finally, as it appears in FIG. 1, the strips 6, 7 and 8 have a length such that they overlap in an area 25 of angular connection of the substantially perpendicular partitions 4 and 5. To do this, it suffices to cut the strips 6, 7 and 8 to the dimension of the width or of the fraction of the width of the partition on which they are to be fixed, this dimension being increased by the width of the strip in order to allow overlapping. In the overlap zone, several eyelets 10 can be provided to guarantee the attachment of the strips of cloth to be rotten on the ground.

Compte tenu de ce qui précède, on peut prévoir que la toile à pourrir des bandes 6, 7 et 8 est commercialisée au mètre linéaire, ce qui permet de conserver un unique rouleau de bande adaptable à tous les types d'auvents quelles que soient les largeurs de leurs cloisons, pour autant qu'ils comportent un système de fixation adéquat. Dans le cas d'un dispositif de fixation à boucles et crochets, on voit sur la figure 1 qu'une partie du ruban 11 est exposée aux intempéries, mais ceci ne présente pas d'inconvénient car cette partie du ruban n'est en principe pas utilisée pour la fixation de la bande 7 et car le ruban 11 est lavable. Il est à noter que le dispositif de fixation par boucles et crochets est particulièrement adapté à l'utilisation de la toile à pourrir au mètre linéaire car chaque ruban 11 ou 12 peut être coupé à n'importe qu'elle longueur, une fois cousu sur la bande de toile à pourrir.In view of the above, it can be envisaged that the fabric for rotting strips 6, 7 and 8 is sold by the linear meter, which makes it possible to keep a single roll of strip adaptable to all types of awnings whatever the widths of their partitions, provided that they have an adequate fixing system. In the case of a fastening device with loops and hooks, it can be seen in FIG. 1 that part of the tape 11 is exposed to the weather, but this does not present any drawback because this part of the tape is in principle not used for fixing the strip 7 and because the strip 11 is washable. It should be noted that the fastening device with loops and hooks is particularly suitable for the use of canvas to rot by the linear meter because each ribbon 11 or 12 can be cut to any length, once sewn onto the strip of canvas to rot.
