Definitions
- the present invention relates to a foldable structure for the assembly of a tent.
- the foldable structure of the invention has an optimum constitution, not only for its own rapid assembly and dismantling, but also to facilitate the suspended assembly of the canvas which constitutes the coverage of the tent.
- the structure is therefore, of the type constituted by parallel arcs which can be brought to one another on connecting their side branches by dividers, which permits its folding.
- the arcs are constituted by dividers whose side branches may be single or composed of several profiles, branches which are interconnected by an upper connecting piece.
- Said connecting pieces are connected with those of the adjacent arcs, when the structure is assembled, by crossbars originating from their sides which fit together by their free ends.
- These crossbars are articulated to the connecting pieces wherefrom they originate by articulations of two perpendicular axes, one of them which permits the folding of the crossbar towards the inside of the arc, and the other permit the axial rotation of the unfolded crossbar, limiting this movement with stops so that a crossbar laterally originating from a connecting piece of an arc fits together with the crossbar originating from the connecting piece of the adjacent arc after having counter-rotated both reaching their respecting stops, stabilizing the assembly of the structure.
- the improvement that the invention proposes consists of implementing in the connecting piece of the divider constituting each arc, one or more appreciably vertical rollers designed to carry straps solidly joined to the canvas, straps which can be actuated from below for the lifting of the canvas, the roller acting as a pulley. This facilitates the lifting of the canvas and very particularly of canvases of considerable size and weight, such as those of military and sanitary use.

Description
- The present invention relates to a foldable structure for the assembly of a tent.
- At present foldable structures are known for the assembly of tents, constituted by a plurality of parallel arcs interconnected by dividers which connect their side branches and which permit to bring together the arcs, and the arcs in turn being constituted by dividers with two side branches joined by an upper connecting piece, side branches which can be single (constituted by a single profile) or multiple (constituted by several profiles). In turn, the upper connecting piece of each arc is connected with those of the adjacent arcs by crossbars originating laterally and designed to meet and fit together by their free ends. These crossbars are articulated to the connecting pieces wherefrom they originate by articulations of two perpendicular axes. One of the axes permits the folding of the crossbar towards the inside of the divider constituting the arc, whilst the other permits the axial rotation of the crossbar in unfolded position, this movement being limited by stops in order to stabilize the assembly of the structure on coupling each crossbar to its opposing member after reaching their respective stops counter-rotating. In this regard, for example, patent
EP1493886 is known. - The drawback of the structure described is that it does not have the means which facilitate the lifting and assembly of the canvas, which turns it into a laborious task given the size of these tents, and therefore the weight of the canvas.
These drawbacks are resolved with the structure of the invention. - The foldable structure of the invention has an optimum constitution, not only for its own rapid assembly and dismantling, but also to facilitate the suspended assembly of the canvas which constitutes the coverage of the tent.
- The structure is therefore, of the type constituted by parallel arcs which can be brought to one another on connecting their side branches by dividers, which permits its folding. In turn, the arcs are constituted by dividers whose side branches may be single or composed of several profiles, branches which are interconnected by an upper connecting piece.
- Said connecting pieces are connected with those of the adjacent arcs, when the structure is assembled, by crossbars originating from their sides which fit together by their free ends. These crossbars are articulated to the connecting pieces wherefrom they originate by articulations of two perpendicular axes, one of them which permits the folding of the crossbar towards the inside of the arc, and the other permit the axial rotation of the unfolded crossbar, limiting this movement with stops so that a crossbar laterally originating from a connecting piece of an arc fits together with the crossbar originating from the connecting piece of the adjacent arc after having counter-rotated both reaching their respecting stops, stabilizing the assembly of the structure.
- The improvement that the invention proposes consists of implementing in the connecting piece of the divider constituting each arc, one or more appreciably vertical rollers designed to carry straps solidly joined to the canvas, straps which can be actuated from below for the lifting of the canvas, the roller acting as a pulley. This facilitates the lifting of the canvas and very particularly of canvases of considerable size and weight, such as those of military and sanitary use.
- Furthermore, there are provided in some variants of the invention self-braking means of the strap to maintain the lifting of the canvas, or simply to facilitate its lifting in phases.
- Rollers, furthermore, can also be incorporated in the side branches of each arc, preferably in the articulations which interconnect each one of its portions if said branches are constituted by multiple portions.

Figure 1 shows a general view of the structure of the invention. -
Figure 2 shows a view of the structure of the invention with the canvas assembled. -
Figure 3 shows a detailed view of the upper connecting piece of the two branches of the divider constituting an arc of the structure according to the invention. -
Figure 4 shows a section detail of the piece represented infigure 3 . - The structure 1 of the invention comprises a plurality of lateral
parallel arcs 2 constituted by dividers withside branches 3, single or multiple, articulated by an upper connecting piece 4; and the arcs are also articulated by their ends or by intermediate areas by other dividers 5, which permits the folding of the structure by bringing thearcs 2 to one another. In the case that theside branches 3 of the arcs are constituted by several portions 3a articulated together, the intermediate dividers can be articulated to the articulatedjoints 3b therebetween. Furthermore, some or all of these articulations are interlockable to stabilize the unfolded structure. - From the sides of the connecting pieces 4 originate
crossbars 10 which are articulated to the same by articulations 7 equipped with twoperpendicular axes 8 and 9, one of them 8 being of axial rotation of the unfolded crossbar, and the other 9 of folding of the crossbar towards the inside of the arc. When eachcrossbar 10 is fitted by its free end with the end of thecrossbar 10 originating from the connecting piece of the adjacent arc, as seen infigures 1 and2 , they become connected. Furthermore, said upper connecting pieces 4 are provided withstops 11 for the axial rotation around theaxis 8 of both crossbars so that to find the locking position it is necessary to reach the stops after having counter-rotated, which stabilizes the assembly of the structure. These stops are materialized according to the invention by depressions moulded in the pieces 4. - Finally, to facilitate the assembly of the canvas, the invention proposes the implementation in the pieces 4, and also in the connecting
pieces 3b between the different portions of the side branches of each arc if considered necessary, ofrollers 12 on whose tracks runstraps 13 solidly joined to thecanvas 14, so that said rollers act as pulleys which facilitate the lifting of the canvas by thestraps 13. - Optionally, whether to block the position of the canvas or to facilitate its lifting by phases, braking means of the straps have been provided as they run through the pulleys. Said braking means are appreciated in
figure 4 and consist in this non-limitative example of the invention in a semicircular shoe 15 mounted eccentrically on the connecting piece which supports the roller, either connecting piece 4 or connectingpieces 3b between portions 3a, in the opposite direction to the lifting of the strap: the semicircular contour of the shoe joined to the suitable position of the eccentric articulation make the shoe increase pressure against the strap when the canvas descends, self-adjusting, whilst when it is pulled in the direction of the lifting of the canvas it is loosened. To release the brake a cable has been provided which is externally accessible and whereto the shoe has been fixed on an area opposite its eccentric articulation.
