Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Gestänge zur Halterung und/oder Abstützung von Zeltbahnen das aus mehreren miteinander verbindbaren Segmenten zu einem mit beiden Enden auf einem Untergrund abstützbaren Bogen zusammensetzbar ist.The invention relates to a linkage for mounting and / or support of tent webs which can be assembled from a plurality of interconnectable segments to a supportable with both ends on a substrate arc.

Bei einem bekannten Zeltgestänge dieser Art ist durch die beim Aufbau eines Zeltes ineinanderzusteckenden Segmente eine Kordel aus einem elastischen Werkstoff, beispielsweise Gummi, geführt, die an den Enden mit den äußeren Segmenten fest verbunden und in Achsrichtung sehr elastisch ist. Das Zeltgestänge kann somit zwar leicht zerlegt werden, um die einzelnen Segmente nebeneinander in einem engen Raum, z.B. in einem Rucksack oder einer Packtasche, unterzubringen zu können, im zusammengebauten Zustand ist aber keine hohe Stabilität des meist in einem Zeltkanal geführten Gestänges gegeben.In a known tent poles of this type, a cord made of an elastic material, such as rubber, is guided by the segments to be nested in the construction of a tent segments, which is firmly connected at the ends with the outer segments and very elastic in the axial direction. Although the tent poles can thus be easily disassembled to the individual segments side by side in a narrow space, e.g. in a backpack or a pannier to be able to accommodate, but in the assembled state, there is no high stability of the usually performed in a tent channel linkage.

Bei dem von der Firma Vango unter der Bezeichnung "Tension Bund System" angebotenen und in dem Katalog "Tents 98" wiedergegebenen Zeltgestänge ist, um die Standsicherheit zu erhöhen, vorgesehen, in der Mitte eines Bogens zwei Spanngurte zu befestigen, die diagonal durch den Zeltinnenraum verlaufen und an den Enden des Bogens befestigt sind. Auf diese Weise ist zwar eine höhere Widerstandskraft bei auf das Zelt einwirkenden Windkräften gegeben, so dass dieses nicht übermäßig verformt wird, die Spanngurte, die einzeln zu verspannen sind, unterteilen jedoch den Zeltinnenraum in zwei Abschnitte und beeinträchtigen somit die Nutzung des Zeltes in einem erheblichen Maße. Außerdem ist das Befestigen der Spanngurte zeitaufwendig und erfordert Geschick.In order to increase the stability, provided in the catalog "Tents 98" by the company Vango under the name "Tension Waistband System" and shown in the catalog "Tents 98", provided in the middle of a bow two straps to be fixed diagonally through the tent interior run and attached to the ends of the bow. In this way, although there is a higher resistance to wind forces acting on the tent, so that it is not excessively deformed, the tension straps, which are to be braced individually, divide the tent interior into two sections, thus significantly affecting the use of the tent Dimensions. In addition, attaching the straps is time consuming and requires skill.

Das Dokument FR 2 827 900 beschreibt ein Gestänge, das die Merkmale des Oberbegriffes des Anspruchs 1 aufweist.The document FR 2 827 900 describes a linkage having the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Zeltgestänge der vorgenannten Gattung in der Weise auszubilden, dass mit geringem zusätzlichen Bauaufwand stets eine hohe Standfestigkeit eines Zeltes gegeben ist und dass das Zelt somit auch bei Sturm sicher benutzt werden kann. Der Innenraum des Zeltes soll hierbei durch Spanngurte nicht abgeteilt oder unterteilt werden, auch soll der Auf- und Abbau eines Zeltes in kurzer Zeit und ohne Schwierigkeiten zu bewerkstelligen sein. Des Weiteren soll gewährleistet sein, dass die Standsicherheit den jeweiligen Witterungsverhältnissen leicht anzupassen ist und dass eine einfache Handhabung beim Auf- und Abbau eines Zeltes gegeben sind.The object of the invention is therefore to form a tent poles of the aforementioned type in such a way that with little additional construction cost always a high stability of a tent is given and that the tent can thus be used safely even in storm. The interior of the tent should not be divided or divided by straps, also the construction and dismantling of a tent in a short time and without difficulty to accomplish. Furthermore, it should be ensured that the stability is easily adapted to the prevailing weather conditions and that an easy handling when setting up and dismantling a tent are given.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird dies bei einem Gestänge der eingangs genannten Art dadurch erreicht, dass die einzelnen Segmente über in diese einsteckbare oder auf diese aufsteckbare Zwischenglieder miteinander verbindbar sind und dass an den Zwischengliedern auf der Innenseite eines Bogens jeweils ein Spannglied aufgehängt ist, das im Bereich der Enden des Gestänges mit diesem, einem Boden des Zeltes und/oder mit dem Untergrund verspannt ist.According to the invention, this is achieved in a linkage of the type mentioned above in that the individual segments are connected to one another via this plug-in or attachable to these intermediate members and that in each case a tendon is suspended on the pontics on the inside of a bow, in the area the ends of the linkage with this, a floor of the tent and / or is clamped to the ground.

Das Zwischenglied kann hierbei in einfacher Ausgestaltung als in seiner Außenkontur vorzugsweise den Segmenten angepasstes Formteil ausgebildet sein, das mit seinen beiden Enden in benachbarte Segmente einsteckbar oder auf diese aufsteckbar ist, wobei das Formteil mit einer in Form einer umlaufenden Nut gestalteten Einschnürung zur Aufnahme eines an dem Spannglied angebrachten Haltegliedes versehen sein sollte.The intermediate member may in this case be formed in a simple embodiment than in its outer contour preferably the segments adapted molding, which can be plugged with its two ends in adjacent segments or these, which form part with a shaped in the form of a circumferential groove constriction for receiving a the tensioning member attached retaining member should be provided.

Das Spannglied kann in einfacher Ausgestaltung als in Längsrichtung starres Zugglied, z.B. in Form einer Kordel oder eines Drahtseiles, ausgebildet werden, das an den Zwischengliedern des Gestänges aufgehängt und mit den beiden Enden verspannt ist.The tendon may be formed in a simple configuration as a longitudinally rigid tension member, for example in the form of a cord or a wire rope, which is suspended from the intermediate links of the linkage and clamped with the two ends.

Es ist aber auch möglich, das Spannglied durch zwei oder mehrere in Längsrichtung starre Zugglieder zu bilden, die wechselweise an den Zwischengliedern des Gestänges aufgehängt und mit ihren Enden, vorzugsweise gemeinsam, verspannt sind.But it is also possible to form the tendon by two or more longitudinally rigid tension members, which are alternately suspended from the pontics of the linkage and with their ends, preferably together, braced.

Zweckmäßig ist es des Weiteren, die Zugglieder mittels beiderseits der Halteglieder an diesen mittels vorzugsweise verstellbar angebrachter Klemmhülsen oder Kordelstopper zu fixieren und bei einem aus zwei oder mehreren Zuggliedern gebildetem Spannglied die Zugglieder an den Kreuzungspunkten jeweils gemeinsam in einem Verbinder zu führen, gegebenenfalls mittels diesen zu verspannen.It is expedient further to fix the tension members by means of both sides of the holding members to these by means of preferably adjustable mounted clamping sleeves or cord stopper and to lead the tension members at the intersection points in each case together in a connector in a connector formed from two or more tension members, if necessary by means of these tense.

Nach einer andersartigen Ausgestaltung kann das Spannglied auch aus einer Vielzahl von textilen Flächengebilden zusammengesetzt werden, die dreieckförmig gestaltet, von Gurtbändern ganz oder teilweise eingefasst und mittels diesen untereinander verbunden sein sollten. Die textilen Flächengebilde können hierbei durch Netze gebildet sein.According to another embodiment, the tendon may also be composed of a plurality of textile fabrics which are triangular in shape, should be completely or partially edged by straps and interconnected therewith. The textile fabrics may in this case be formed by nets.

Die Halteglieder zur Befestigung der Spannglieder an den Zwischengliedern des Gestänges sollten in Form von Haken ausgebildet sein, die mit einem Ende begrenzt verschiebbar oder fest mit den Spanngliedern verbunden und mit ihrem freien Ende in die Einschnürung der Zwischenglieder einhängbar sind.The holding members for fastening the tendons to the pontics of the linkage should be in the form of hooks, which are connected at one end limited displaceable or fixed to the tendons and can be suspended with its free end in the constriction of the intermediate links.

Zur Arretierung des Gestänges auf dem Untergrund ist es angebracht, in dessen äußeren Segmenten jeweils einen Steckhaken ein- oder aufzustecken, mittels dem das Zelt verankerbar und an dem die Spannglieder und/oder ein die Enden des Bogens verbindendes Spannband fixierbar sind.To lock the linkage on the ground, it is appropriate in each of its outer segments a plug hook or aufzustecken, by means of which the tent anchored and on which the tendons and / or the ends of the arc connecting strap are fixable.

Die Spannglieder können zur Einstellung der Verspannung jeweils mit einem Spannstück versehen sein. Auch kann an den Spanngliedern des Gestänges eine Zeltbahn aufgehängt und/oder auf dem Gestänge eine Zeltbahn aufgelegt werden.The tendons may be provided for adjusting the tension each with a clamping piece. Also, a tent web can be hung on the tendons of the linkage and / or placed on the linkage a tarpaulin.

Wird ein Gestänge gemäß der Erfindung ausgebildet, so ist es auf einfache Weise möglich, den Bogen des Gestänges mit Hilfe der Spannglieder zu verspannen, so dass stets eine hohe Standfestigkeit, und zwar auch bei hohen Windgeschwindigkeiten gegeben ist. Der Bauaufwand, der erforderlich ist, um dies zu ermöglichen, ist äußerst gering, dennoch ergeben die in unterschiedlicher Weise ausgebildeten Spannglieder eine hohe Widerstandskraft, insbesondere gegen Kräfte, die von außen auf ein in dieser Weise abgestütztes Zelt einwirken.If a linkage according to the invention is formed, then it is easily possible to clamp the arc of the linkage with the help of the tendons, so that always a high stability, even at high wind speeds is given. The construction cost, which is necessary to enable this, is extremely low, yet the tendons formed in different ways give a high resistance, especially against forces acting on the outside of a tent supported in this way tent.

Des Weiteren ist von Vorteil, dass durch die Spannglieder der Zeltinnenraum nicht unterteilt wird. Die Spannglieder verlaufen vielmehr nahe des Zeltbogens, für deren Unterbringung ist somit kein Nutzraum des Zeltes erforderlich. Auch kann das vorschlagsgemäß ausgebildete Gestänge in vielseitiger Weise verwendet werden, indem auf das Gestänge eine Zeltbahn aufgelegt und/oder an dem Gestänge eine Zeltbahn aufgehängt wird. Ferner wird der Aufbau eines Zeltes erleichtert und beschleunigt, da nach dem Aufstellen und Verspannen eines Gestängebogens sofort eine stabile Auflage oder Halterung gegeben ist. Und da mittels der Spannglieder die Steifigkeit der einzelnen Bögen eines Zeltgestänges den jeweiligen Erfordernissen angepasst werden kann, ist stets eine hohe Standfestigkeit eines Zeltes bei einfacher Handhabung bei dessen Auf- und Abbau gewährleistet.Furthermore, it is advantageous that the tent interior is not divided by the tendons. The tendons run rather near the tent arch, for their accommodation is thus no usable space of the tent required. Also, the proposed design trained linkage can be used in a variety of ways by placing on the rod a tarpaulin and / or hanging on the rod a tarpaulin. Furthermore, the construction of a tent is facilitated and accelerated, since after setting up and clamping a linkage bow immediately a stable support or support is given. And since by means of the tendons, the stiffness of the individual arches of a tent pole can be adapted to the respective requirements, always a high stability of a tent with easy handling during its construction and dismantling is guaranteed.

Das in Figur 1 nur teilweise dargestellte und mit 1 bezeichnete auf einem Untergrund 2 abgestützte Zelt ist mittels eines Gestänges 11 gehalten, das, um zum Transport kompakt zusammengelegt werden zu können, aus einzelnen Segmenten 15 zusammengesetzt ist. Das Zeltgestänge 11 bildet im zusammengebauten Zustand einen Bogen 12, der mit seinen Enden 13 und 14 auf dem Untergrund 2 verankert ist. Die das Zelt 1 ergebende Zeltbahn 3 ist hierbei über einen oder mehrere Bögen 12 des Zeltgestänges 11 gelegt und ebenfalls zusammen mit dem wannenförmigen Zeltboden 4 am Untergrund 2 fixiert.This in FIG. 1 only partially illustrated and designated 1 supported on a substrate 2 tent is held by means of a linkage 11, which, in order to be able to be compactly compacted for transport, composed of individual segments 15. The tent poles 11 forms in the assembled state an arc 12 which is anchored with its ends 13 and 14 on the substrate 2. The tent 1 resulting tent 3 is here placed over one or more sheets 12 of the tent pole 11 and also fixed together with the trough-shaped tent bottom 4 on the ground 2.

Die jeweils benachbarten Segmente 15 sind über Zwischenglieder 16 miteinander verbunden, die als der Außenkontur der Segmente 15 angepasste Formteile 17 gestaltet sind. Die Zwischenglieder 16 sind, wie dies insbesondere der Figur 3 zu entnehmen ist, mit den beiden abgesetzten Enden 18 und 19 in die aus Hohlprofilen bestehenden Segmente 15 eingesteckt, außerdem sind die Formteile 17 etwa mittig mit einer Einschnürung 20 in Form einer umlaufenden Nut versehen, in die Halteglieder 31 einhängbar sind.The respective adjacent segments 15 are connected to each other via intermediate members 16 which are designed as the outer contour of the segments 15 adapted moldings 17. The intermediate links 16 are, as the particular FIG. 3 can be seen, inserted with the two stepped ends 18 and 19 in the hollow sections consisting of segments 15, also the mold parts 17 are approximately centrally provided with a constriction 20 in the form of a circumferential groove in the holding members 31 are suspended.

Mittels der Halteglieder 31 ist bei den Ausgestaltungen nach den Figuren 1 und 2 ein Spannglied 21 in Form eines in Längsrichtung starren Zuggliedes 22 an dem Gestänge 11 aufgehängt, das als Kordel oder Stahlseil ausgebildet sein kann. Gemäß Figur 2 besteht das Spannglied 21' aus zwei Zuggliedern 22' und 22", die wechselweise an den Zwischenglieder 16 des Gestänges 11 befestigt sind. Mit ihren Enden sind die Zugglieder 22 bzw. 22', 22" mittels Steckhaken 6, die in die äußeren Segmente 15 des Bogens 12 eingreifen, und an denen Bänder 7 als Zwischenglieder befestigt sind, durch Haken 8 verspannt.By means of the holding members 31 is in the embodiments of the FIGS. 1 and 2 a tendon 21 suspended in the form of a longitudinally rigid tension member 22 on the linkage 11, which may be formed as a cord or steel cable. According to FIG. 2 the tensioning member 21 'consists of two tension members 22' and 22 "which are alternately fixed to the intermediate members 16 of the linkage 11. With their ends are the tension members 22 and 22 ', 22" by means of insertion hooks 6, which in the outer segments 15th of Arch 12 engage, and where bands 7 are fixed as intermediate links, clamped by hooks 8.

Die Spannglieder 21 ermöglichen es des Weiteren, an dem Gestänge 11 auch ein Innenzelt 5 aufzuhängen, das mittels Bändern 29 an den Spannglieder 21 befestigt ist.The tendons 21 also make it possible to hang on the linkage 11, an inner tent 5, which is fixed by means of bands 29 to the tendons 21.

Um ein Verrutschen der als Haken 32 gestalteten Halteglieder 31 auf dem Zugglied 22 zu verhindern, ist deren Lage durch Klemmhülsen 23 arretiert, die auf dem Zugglied 22 mit geringem seitlichen Abstand zu dem Halteglied 31 angebracht sind. Außerdem sind bei dem aus zwei Zuggliedern 22' und 22" gebildeten Spannglied 21' dessen Teile an den Kreuzungspunkten gemeinsam in einem Verbinder 24 geführt, gegebenenfalls verspannt, so dass eine lageorientierte Anordnung der Zugglieder 22' und 22" gewährleistet ist.In order to prevent slippage of the designed as a hook 32 holding members 31 on the tension member 22, whose position is locked by clamping sleeves 23 which are mounted on the tension member 22 with a small lateral distance to the support member 31. In addition, in the tension member 21 'formed from two tension members 22' and 22 "whose parts are guided at the intersections together in a connector 24, optionally braced, so that a position-oriented arrangement of the tension members 22 'and 22" is guaranteed.

Bei der Ausführungsvariante nach den Figuren 5 und 6 ist das dem Gestänge 11, 11', durch das ein Kuppelzelt gebildet ist, zugeordnete Spannglied 25 aus mehreren dreieckförmig gestalteten textilen Flächengebilden 26 zusammengesetzt, die von Gurtbändern 27 eingefasst und mittels diesen untereinander fest verbunden, z.B. vernäht, sind. Das Ebenfalls als Haken 32' gestaltete Halteglied 31' ist hierbei fest mit einem der Gurtbänder 25 vernäht, die Halteglieder 31' des Spanngliedes 25 sind somit lediglich in die Einschnürungen 20 der Zwischenglieder 16 einzuhängen, um eine sichere Verspannung des Gestänges 11 zu bewerkstelligen.In the embodiment according to the Figures 5 and 6 is the linkage 11, 11 ', is formed by a dome tare, associated tension member 25 of a plurality of triangular shaped textile fabrics 26, bordered by straps 27 and by means of these firmly connected to each other, eg sewn, are. The likewise designed as a hook 32 'holding member 31' is in this case sewn firmly with one of the straps 25, the holding members 31 'of the tensioning member 25 are thus only in the constrictions 20 of the intermediate members 16 hook in order to accomplish a secure clamping of the linkage 11.

Mit Hilfe der Spannglieder 21, 21' und 25 ist das Gestänge 11 stets sicher und auf einfache Weise zu verspannen, so dass eine hohe Spannfestigkeit gegeben ist. Durch ein in das Zugglied 22 des Spanngliedes 21 eingesetztes Spannstück 28 kann, wie dies in Figur 3 gezeigt ist, zusätzlich die Verspannung des Gestänges 11 den Erfordernissen angepasst werden. In gleicher Weise wirksam kann auch ein Spanngurt 30 sein, durch den die beiden Steckhaken 6, die jeweils in die Enden des Gestänges 11 eingreifen miteinander verbunden sind. Eine stets sichere Verspannung ist demnach leicht zu bewerkstelligen.With the help of the tendons 21, 21 'and 25, the linkage 11 is always secure and easy to clamp, so that a high clamping strength is given. By an inserted into the tension member 22 of the clamping member 21 clamping piece 28 may, as in FIG. 3 is shown, in addition, the tension of the linkage 11 are adapted to the requirements. In the same way, a tension belt 30 can be effective, through which the two attachment hooks 6, which engage in the ends of the linkage 11, are connected to one another. An always secure tension is therefore easy to accomplish.
