Description

L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des tentes, du matériel d'arrimage des tentes pour assurer leur stabilité.The invention relates to the technical sector of tents, equipment securing tents to ensure their stability.

De plus en plus, les ossatures portantes des toiles de tente, de camping, de randonnée, utilisent des arceaux incluant une pluralité de segments, ou étant constitués en eux-mêmes d'un profilé de grande longueur ayant une certaine flexibilité pour configurer le profil de la tente.Increasingly, the supporting frames of tent, camping, hiking, use poles including a plurality of segments, or being made up in themselves of a very long profile having a certain flexibility for configure the tent profile.

Ces arceaux sont réalisés dans des matières plastiques rigides spécifiques à mémoire de forme pour certains. En l'état de non utilisation, ces arceaux se présentent de manière rectiligne.These hoops are made of rigid plastics specific to shape memory for some. When not in use, these arches are presented in a straight line.

Pour configurer la tente, ils sont soumis à des efforts de flexion afin de définir la courbure adéquate pour s'engager dans les goussets préétablis sur la toile de tente.To configure the tent, they are subjected to bending forces in order to define the correct curvature to engage in the pre-established gussets on the tent canvas.

Les ossatures support de tente, peuvent ainsi comprendre plusieurs arceaux de ce type qui sont soit reliés à leur partie supérieure à une galette de liaison se situant dans la partie supérieure du toit, soit ils constituent une forme en arc de cercle, avec leurs deux extrémités orientées vers le sol.The tent support frames can thus include several poles of this type which are either connected at their upper part to a connecting plate located in the upper part of the roof, or they form an arc, with their two ends oriented towards the ground.

Les efforts et les forces de tension sont importantes de par la tendance de ces arceaux à reprendre leur position initiale. Il y a lieu de faire attention au fait que les extrémités de ces arceaux sont bien ancrées au sol et ne sont pas déplaçables dans n'importe quelle position.The tension forces and forces are important due to the tendency of these hoops to return to their original position. Attention should be paid to the fact that ends of these poles are firmly anchored to the ground and cannot be moved in any position.

A cet effet, on connaít des dispositifs de fixation d'arceau et de liaison simultanée avec la toile de tente et/ou son tapis de sol.For this purpose, we know hoop fixing devices and connection simultaneous with the tent canvas and / or its ground sheet.

Ces dispositifs comprennent des anneaux spiralés permettant l'engagement et la fixation de sangles élastiques ou non élastiques, solidarisées à la toile de tente et/ou au tapis de sol.These devices include spiral rings allowing engagement and the fixing of elastic or non-elastic straps, secured to the tent canvas and / or to the floor mat.

Ces anneaux spiralés permettent le positionnement libre de goupilles agencées avec une forme en crochet fermé ou boucles coulissant dans l'anneau, tandis qu'un bras profilé est en débordement, en étant de section cylindrique par exemple, pour autoriser l'engagement de l'extrémité de l'arceau.These spiral rings allow the free positioning of pins arranged in a closed hook shape or loops sliding in the ring, while that a profiled arm is in overflow, being of cylindrical section for example, to authorize the engagement of the end of the arch.

Selon une telle réalisation, le dispositif précité a très peu de tenue au sol et il suffit de mouvement malencontreux de personnes ou de force extérieure d'environnement, pour provoquer les déplacements de l'ensemble de l'attache.According to such an embodiment, the aforementioned device has very little resistance to the ground and it sufficient unfortunate movement of people or external force environment, to cause movement of the entire fastener.

Cela modifie alors la position de la tente, ce qui est nuisible. Il est ainsi courant d'utiliser des piquets profilés avec une tête crochet qui sont enfoncés au sol pour garantir leur stabilité.This then changes the position of the tent, which is harmful. It is so common to use profiled stakes with a hook head that are driven into the ground to guarantee their stability.

Le but recherché selon l'invention était donc d'améliorer le positionnement du dispositif précité.The aim sought after according to the invention was therefore to improve the positioning of the aforementioned device.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif est remarquable en ce que l'anneau spiralé reçoit un moyen d'ancrage et de stabilisation comprenant une forme en boucle montée libre dans l'anneau, ladite forme en boucle comprenant au moins deux bras de grande longueur orientés angulairement l'un de l'autre, pour assurer au moins une fonction de réception de l'extrémité d'un arceau et la fonction d'appui au sol de l'anneau spiralé, en utilisant les efforts de flexion donnés par l'anneau pour provoquer naturellement et sans autre moyen extérieur l'ancrage au sol dudit anneau.According to the invention, the device is remarkable in that the spiral ring receives an anchoring and stabilization means comprising a mounted loop form free in the ring, said loop form comprising at least two arms of large length oriented angularly from one another, to ensure at least one function of reception of the end of a hoop and the support function on the ground of the spiral ring, using the bending forces given by the ring to cause naturally and without other external means anchoring to the ground of said ring.

Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.These characteristics and others will become clear from the rest of the description.

Pour fixer l'objet de l'invention illustrée d'une manière non limitative aux figures des dessins où :

  • la figure 1 est une vue du dispositif selon l'invention en position d'utilisation ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne AA de la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue en variante du dispositif de l'invention avec un bras stabilisateur et deux bras départ d'arceau.
To fix the subject of the invention illustrated in a nonlimiting manner in the figures of the drawings where:
  • Figure 1 is a view of the device according to the invention in the use position;
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view along line AA of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is an alternative view of the device of the invention with a stabilizing arm and two starting arch arms.

Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative illustrée aux dessins.In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in a nonlimiting manner illustrated in the drawings.

Le dispositif de fixation d'arceau est référencé dans son ensemble par (1). Il comprend un anneau (1a) à plusieurs spirales jointives permettant l'insertion du moyen d'ancrage (2). Celui-ci comprend une forme en boucle (2a) libre de circuler le long de l'anneau. Cette boucle reçoit au moins deux bras profilés (2b,2c) disposés dans le même plan, mais orientés angulairement selon un angle α de l'ordre de 50 à 80°. Les deux bras sont soit rapportés et soudés à la boucle, soit le moyen d'ancrage pris dans son ensemble est monobloc avec en continu les deux bras et la boucle précitée.The hoop fixing device is referenced as a whole by (1). he includes a ring (1a) with several contiguous spirals allowing the insertion of the means anchor (2). This includes a loop shape (2a) free to circulate along the ring. This loop receives at least two profiled arms (2b, 2c) arranged in the same plane, but angularly oriented at an angle α of the order of 50 to 80 °. The two arms are either attached and welded to the loop, or the anchoring means taken in its assembly is in one piece with continuously the two arms and the aforementioned loop.

Le bras supérieur (2b) est susceptible d'être orienté vers le haut lors de l'utilisation pour permettre l'insertion de l'extrémité de l'arceau. Le bras inférieur est susceptible de traverser l'ouverture intérieure de l'anneau et venir en appui diamétralement opposé sur la zone (1b) en regard de l'anneau.The upper arm (2b) can be oriented upwards when use to allow insertion of the end of the arch. The lower arm is likely to pass through the interior opening of the ring and come to bear diametrically opposite on the zone (1b) opposite the ring.

La partie boucle présente une zone d'appui (1c) au sol, faisant ainsi contre-appui. Le bras (2c) assure donc une force de poussée de la boucle vers le sol, et ce en relation avec les forces de tension et de flexion données par l'arceau lui-même.The loop part has a support zone (1c) on the ground, thus making a counter-support. The arm (2c) therefore ensures a pushing force of the loop towards the ground, and this in relationship with the tension and bending forces given by the arch itself.

Le dispositif selon l'invention assure par sa configuration spécifique un auto-ancrage au sol et il n'est quasiment plus nécessaire d'avoir besoin du piquet comme rappelé précédemment.The device according to the invention provides, by its specific configuration, self-anchoring on the ground and it is almost no longer necessary to need the stake as recalled previously.

Le dispositif selon l'invention peut en variante recevoir au moins deux bras récepteurs d'arceaux. Dans ce cas, les deux bras sont orientés angulairement l'un par rapport à l'autre dans un plan, tandis que le bras (2c) de stabilisation se situe dans un plan médian à ceux-ci pour garantir l'équilibre et la fixation.The device according to the invention can alternatively receive at least two arms bow receptors. In this case, the two arms are angularly oriented one by relative to each other in a plane, while the stabilization arm (2c) is located in a median plane to them to guarantee balance and fixation.

Le dispositif est réalisé de préférence en fil métallique.The device is preferably made of metal wire.

Les avantages ressortent bien de l'invention.The advantages emerge clearly from the invention.

On souligne l'intérêt de ce perfectionnement en ce qu'il améliore d'une manière substantielle l'ancrage au sol.The importance of this improvement is emphasized in that it improves substantially anchoring to the ground.
