Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a frame that can be easily mounted and disassembled. Such a frame is more particularly intended for a shelter.
  • the invention also relates to a tent or a similar shelter, provided with a removable frame.
  • Camping is one of the most popular recreational activities and tents are usually used to provide temporary shelter. These shelters most often have a triangular "Canadian” shape or a domed shape. This type of shelter thus well known a superior protection in the form of a flexible fabric, an aerial reinforcement on which the canvas is stretched and, where appropriate, a base mat on the ground.
  • the shelters with their frame often have a low resistance to mechanical stresses, for example caused by the weather, acting on the frame and the fabric. This low resistance can lead to deformations, or even breaks in the frame.
  • the shelter can collapse, due to the lack of mechanical links between the canvas, the frame, the floor mat and the floor itself.
  • the shelters are installed on the ground, which is usually poorly equipped to receive these structures and the users who stick to them.
  • the soil quickly becomes unusable by the mud that forms there.
  • the soil often has an uneven surface with bumps, vegetation and pebbles. Such a sheltered spot is not only aesthetically unpleasant, but also dangerous.
  • carpets made of synthetic materials are often placed on the ground, protecting only the areas of passage. Because of their flexibility, carpets marry the shapes of the soil and do not solve the problems of irregularities. In addition, the mats have between them junction areas that are the cause of falls for users who are or walking in the shelter. As another solution, wooden floors are also added inside the shelters. Wood is used and can be considered satisfactory.
  • Such floors must be systematically adapted by cutting to cover the appropriate area corresponding to the surface of the soil to be covered. Thus, they do not necessarily have the same dimensions as those of the ground surface of the shelter.
  • Such floors generate areas left bare, located mainly on the edges between the canvas and the floor. Such areas forming holes can be a source of user falls. These areas are also voids in which the canvas will snap continuously when there is wind. In these areas the wind rushes when the canvas is poorly adjusted to the ground. Losses of heat energy are also noted in these areas, these losses being all the more troublesome as the shelter is heated.
  • Document GB-271,804 and GB-256,242 disclose a tent comprising a canvas, parts forming an overhead frame and a base frame. A floor is placed on the base frame. The tent canvas is only maintained by the aerial reinforcement.
  • a main problem to be solved by the invention is to develop a frame that can be easily assembled and dismounted.
  • a second problem is to provide a framework capable of taking up all the forces acting on the aerial reinforcement or on the protection.
  • a third problem is the realization of a frame, able to take up most of the mechanical stresses exerted on the frame and / or the floor and / or protection.
  • a fourth problem to be solved is the adaptation of a floor to a shelter, which is similarly easily mounted and disassembled.
  • a fifth problem is to realize a frame with a floor postponing the forces on its base, while following the configuration of the ground.
  • a sixth problem is to design a removable shelter, for example a tent, including a removable frame.
  • a removable frame intended for a removable structure forming a shelter, comprises at least one protection, one or more pieces constituting an overhead armature for the tensioning of the protection or protections, and a base frame, substantially plane , able to secure the component (s) constituting the aerial reinforcement, so that said base frame takes up all the forces acting on said aerial reinforcement.
  • the removable frame including a frame
  • all the mechanical stresses supported by the floor and all the mechanical stresses supported by the aerial reinforcement are reported globally on this base frame. All forces, which are internal to the shelter, acting on the flat elements or planes of the floor, are taken up by the frame. Similarly, all the forces, which are external to the shelter, being exerted on the protection or protections of the shelter, are taken up by the frame. As a result, the aerial reinforcement will be subjected to much smaller forces, which will relieve it.
  • the first and second fastening means may be in the form of depressions and excrescences, respectively constituting female parts and male parts.
  • recesses and protuberances can be housed corresponding growths and recesses, which can constitute respectively male parts and female parts, which can be provided at the level of the flat elements and at the level or the protections.
  • This simple system associated with the frame allows quick attachment and unhooking of the flat elements and the or protections.
  • the first fixing means provided for joining the flat element or elements, can act in compression downwards and can be arranged on the upper part of the base frame. This arrangement between frame and planar elements can effectively absorb the thrusts exerted by the weight of users on the floor.
  • the second fastening means provided for the fastening of the or protections can act in lateral traction and can be arranged on the sides of this base frame. This position takes up the forces transmitted by the protection or protections on the frame and thus on the frame, so as to prevent any tearing of this or these protections.
  • the base frame may be peripheral, potentially including one or more longitudinal sleepers.
  • a perimeter constituting a mechanically active periphery for the frame, is self-stable and self-supporting.
  • the frame with its cross member may be formed by a hollow profile.
  • the peripheral profile of this frame can be formed from individual elongated segments. These segments can be interconnected by sleeves, internal or external, which can be inserted and fixed inside the hollow profile, so as to further increase the rigidity of the self-supporting frame.
  • the flat element or elements can advantageously comprise an upper plate, which can be held by one or more longitudinal lower longitudinal members and two or more lateral faces that can be provided with hooks, acting as male parts that can cooperate with the first fixing means of the base frame.
  • the at least one planar member may comprise a plate of one or more damping materials.
  • the or protections may comprise an insert with a hook and / or a peripheral ring, which can cooperate with the second fastening means of the base frame.
  • the chassis also has a vocation of support for various technical accessories for the maintenance and aesthetics of the shelter.
  • the framework may advantageously also comprise at least one base, which can be fixed under the basic chassis.
  • the frame may further comprise one or more connections, external or internal, which can be fixed on the base frame and solidariser or parts of the aerial reinforcement.
  • a shelter, tent type is characterized in that it comprises a protection, one or more pieces constituting an overhead armature for the tensioning of the or protections and a removable frame as described above.

  • the entire frame of the shelter (1) is mounted on lower base (11), ensuring the spacing, stability and leveling relative to the ground.
  • the frame comprises an air reinforcement (12).
  • the armature (12) is fixed to the floor (9).
  • This armature (12) is composed of a series of tubes (13) forming the lateral uprights and associated arches (14) forming the upper vaults of the shelter (1).
  • the frame comprises a peripheral frame (16) thus forming a frame.
  • a central cross member (17) is secured longitudinally to the frame (16).
  • the floor (9) comprises a plurality of flat elements (18), for example fourteen in number for the embodiment of FIG. 3. These planar elements (18) are contiguous and constitute the substantially flat upper surface (S) of the floor (9). Viewed from above, the planar elements (18) have a rectangle shape.
  • planar elements (18) are both fixed on the frame (16) and on the crosspiece (17), with the short sides of the rectangles adjacent to the longitudinal edges of the frame (16) and the cross member (17), the large ones sides of the outermost rectangles adjoining the side edges of the frame (16). Seven planar elements (18) are arranged on one side of the central web (17) and seven other flat elements (18) are arranged on the other side of the central web (17).
  • the peripheral frame (16) and the cross member (17) are in the form of a series of profile segments (19), for example of aluminum, other steels, glass fibers, composites or polymeric materials.
