Definitions
- the invention relates to a mosquito net made of a mosquito-proof material.
- Previously known mosquito nets consist of a flat, sheet-like structure that is suspended in the middle of a bed or another space to be protected and hangs down from there under the action of gravity. These mosquito nets do not take a preferred form, so that there is no restoring force by means of which the mosquito net prevents a gap from remaining if one should have formed.
- the invention is therefore based on the object
- a continuous belt which is formed from a flexible material and is self-contained is provided in that a tensioned, unstable equilibrium position with a rolled-up or folded configuration can be converted into a stable equilibrium position with a stretched configuration, the mosquito-impermeable material being fastened to the edge in such a way that in the stretched configuration an interior space separated from the outside by the mosquito-proof material is formed .
- the mosquito net according to the invention offers the advantage, first of all, that its protective effect can be produced very quickly and in a simple manner, namely by simply deflecting the unstable equilibrium position to such an extent that it passes into the stable, more energetically favorable equilibrium position. No suspension point is required; nevertheless, the mosquito net does not nestle against an object underneath, so that a person can stay below the mosquito net, which is not suspended at one point, without restriction or disability.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that, in the stable position, the band crosses once in the middle, so that two loops are formed, whereby adjacent loop arms formed from a half loop are connected by the mosquito-proof material.
- the flexible band has the shape of an eight in the stretched configuration, the two loops being slightly folded towards one another by the connection of adjacent loop arms so that an interior similar to a dome tent is formed.
- a length-adjustable strap is arranged on each of two opposite sides, the ends of which are attached to the adjacent loop arms.
- a hem which spreads out on the floor when the flexible band is in the extended configuration is attached.
- This hem ensures that the mosquito net not only abuts the floor in a line contact, but that the hem can spread around the interior, adapting to the shape of the terrain and lying flat.
- Straps with eyelets are arranged on the flexible band, through which it is possible, on the one hand, to anchor the mosquito net with pegs on the floor, on the other hand, the straps are also suitable for hanging the mosquito net in a hanging manner, if the circumstances allow this.
- Mosquito nets are often required by hikers who have to carry the material they need with them on their bodies or in their backpacks. Then it is advantageous if a belt is provided through which the flexible band can be converted into an elongated configuration in its tensioned position with a rolled up, round configuration. This can be done in the rolled-up configuration
- the mosquito net according to the invention is attached to the floor by pegs, it is advantageous if a zipper that allows entry into the interior is provided, especially since the zipper is in the closed position and provides a reliable seal that is only possible with overlapping, hanging layers of the mosquito net given is.
- the mosquito net 1 shown in the drawing has an endless belt 2 formed from a flexible material, which is self-contained.
- This flexible band 2 can be moved from a live, unstable equilibrium position in a rolled-up configuration to a stable one Equilibrium position are transferred, the flexible belt 2 then unrolling.
- the stable equilibrium position the flexible band 2 crosses once in the middle, so that the two loops 3, 4 of an eight are formed, which are inclined to one another, since the adjacent loop arms formed from a half loop are connected accordingly by mosquito-proof material 5, the is sewn to the cover 6 of the flexible band 2.
- Due to the mosquito impermeable material 5, which connects adjacent loop arms the mosquito net 1 has the shape shown in FIG. 1, in which an interior space separated from the outside by the mosquito impermeable material 5 is formed.
- Loop arms of the two loops 3, 4 are arranged a length-adjustable belt 7, by means of which the angle formed in front of the loops 3, 4 can be varied, so that the base area of the mosquito net 1 can be changed overall.
- a hem 8 is attached, which spreads on the floor when the mosquito net 1 is set up.
- tabs 9 are further arranged with eyelets, which serve to secure the position of the mosquito net 1.
- a zipper 10 is incorporated into the mosquito-proof material 5, through which it is possible to enter or leave the interior.
- the mosquito net 1 has a belt, not shown in the drawing, through which the flexible band 2 can be converted into an elongated configuration in the unstable equilibrium position.
