Definitions

  • the invention relates to temporary structures, and in particular to a pocket for securing poles in position when supporting a tent or the like.
  • the invention is suitable for use in light weight tents.
  • Tents are typically free standing and self-supporting habitable temporary structures. Often they are light and compact enough to be easily portable. Tents have a number of uses such as recreation, hides, on-location research, disaster relief, expeditions, filming, festivals, eco resorts and military applications.
  • Flexible tent poles or rods are commonly used to provide a skeletal support structure to tents.
  • the tent poles are typically long and have some flexibility.
  • the poles are usually fixed at a number of points to provide a fame or skeletal support structure for a tent sheet.
  • the poles are fixed at their ends and are under tension so that the pole is curved or arched between the two fixed points. Securing a tent pole between two points that are closer together than the length of the pole ensures that it will maintain a curved shape.
  • the fixing points are typically secured relative to each other by the fabric of the tent. Fixing each pole to the fabric of the tent or another pole at a third point ensures that the support structure is relatively rigid and provides stability to the structure.
  • Several poles used together may provide a geodesic, dome or tunnel shaped tent structure. A tent sheet or canopy and other parts may be suspended from the structure to form walls and ceiling of the tent.
  • the poles are fixed at their ends by an additional part attached to a tent sheet. Often this is by way of nylon straps with metal eyelets. The straps are secured to the tent sheet and the ends of the poles have a shape which is suitable for securing them in or through the eyelets. Alternatively, a peg or short rod is secured somehow to the tent sheet. The rod is then inserted into the end of a hollow pole. Tent poles therefore require a unique design for use with a particular tent body so that they are compatible with the tent body.
  • the main body of the tent may be provided with a series of sleeves on its outer surface through which the poles pass, so that the main body is attached to the poles, along the length of the poles, to suspend the sheet and provide a shelter.
  • GB813749 discloses a collapsible tent comprises a number of U-shaped frames having the free extremities of their limbs secured in juxtaposition and is characterized by the U-shaped elements being made in separate parts joined together by resilient elements.
  • the U-shaped elements are made from three separate rods or tubes joined together by resilient elements made from rubber or plastic sleeves.
  • the free ends of the U-shaped members are held together by sector-shaped fabric pockets which may or may not be permanently secured to these ends.
  • a fabric cover extends over the U-shaped members either to leave an opening with valance and to form a ground sheet or to form a complete cover with a flap.
  • Collapsible bracing struts hold the tent in the open position and further bracing struts are provided across the resilient elements.
  • the rods are formed from wood or metal and may be bowed outwardly.
  • NL8602419 discloses a tent having two opposing side walls each having four corner points. Between each diagonally opposing pair a tension rod is connected while all four corner points are connectable with an anchoring member e.g. a ground skewer for guy ropes to erect the tent. Each tension rod is releasably connected to the side wall corner points by pockets provided on the wall. The walls have reinforcing tracks along the edges and/or diagonals. Between the walls, a shaping element is provided, being parallel to the walls and comprising a curved resilient rod part.
  • DE4229281 discloses a tent made of an impermeable material. It has an integral ground sheet and there is a stiff upright continuous edging strip extending around the edge of the ground sheet. Bow-like supports are fed into the curved roof and are supported at their ends in pockets in the edging strip. An opening is formed at the end and in the side of the tent to allow access.
  • An advantage of this is that the camping tent can be erected and collapsed like a harmonium and is relatively easy to erect and dismantle.
  • One aim of the invention is to provide a lightweight tent that is easy to assemble. Other aims of the invention will become apparent from the following description and claims.
  • the invention provides a tent comprising: a ground sheet; a canopy sheet extending over the ground sheet and secured to the ground sheet at its edges to form an at least partially enclosed internal space between the ground sheet and the canopy; at least one pair of pocket elements located on the ground sheet, each pocket element comprising a pocket suitable for receiving an end of a pole, and not being positioned near the extremity of the ground sheet; and at least one pole, wherein when respective pole ends are located in a pair of pocket elements, a support structure is provided for the canopy sheet, wherein, the pocket elements are secured in spaced apart locations which, when the tent is assembled, are within the enclosed internal space and, when the canopy is supported by the support structure, the canopy sheet entirely covers the support structure, and the canopy sheet extends beyond the limits of the support structure to provide for a covered area, which is part of the at least partially enclosed internal space, that is not under the pole structure.
  • the invention relates to a method and apparatus for securing tents or poles to form a structure for supporting a tent.
  • Tent poles are inserted in a pair of pocket elements which are located on the ground sheet.
  • the canopy sheet extends over the ground sheet to form at least a partially enclosed internal space.
  • Poles are used to make an internal structure and are within the limits of the tent when it is assembled.
  • the pockets or elements are designed to be of simple construction and therefore cheap to manufacture.
  • the pocket elements are also light weight to assist with keeping the overall weight of the tent to a minimum.
  • the pockets or elements are shaped so that it is easy to insert the end of the tent pole into them. This helps to make the tent quick and easy to assemble.
  • the shape of the pocket may be such that it directs the tent pole into the correct position so that it is secured adequately.
  • the tent, and pocket elements are durable because they have a simple construction.
  • the pocket elements may be made to have a particular depth so that the tent poles are secured in position. Any type of tent pole may be used with a tent. Accordingly, the tent does not require specifically designed poles for use with a particular tent body. Further, the tent does not require additional parts for attaching the poles to the tent.
  • Respective pole ends may be located in a pair of pocket elements for providing a support structure to the canopy sheet.
  • the sheet between the pocket elements is in tension when a pole is inserted.
  • a tent will normally comprise at least two pairs of pocket elements and at least two poles.
  • the poles are inserted in respective pairs of pocket elements and an area of the ground sheet between the pocket elements is in tension.
  • This provides the tent with a substantially flat ground sheet which may provide a useful space.
  • the canopy extends over all of the area of the ground sheet that is in tension.
  • the canopy is supported by the support structure provided by the tent poles.
  • the canopy entirely covers the support structure and thereby provides a completely enclosed space. In this instance, the canopy may be provided with an opening to allow access to the tent. Furthermore, the canopy extends beyond the support structure.
  • the canopy may optionally comprise a sleeve or loop for receiving a portion of at least one tent pole.
  • the space between the canopy and the poles may be minimal. This ensures that the enclosed space is maximised as there is no lost space between the support structure and the canopy.
  • the pocket elements may have a wide opening which narrows towards the bottom of the pocket. This allows for more than one tent pole to be received in one pocket. It also helps to position the tent pole easily without the need to insert the pole into a small opening or accurately position the pole.
  • the pocket elements may be closed at one end opposite the opening. This ensures that the poles stay within the pocket elements.
  • the pocket elements may be sized to receive one or more tent poles. This has the advantage that only one tent pocket element is required where several poles meet at the same point of the frame, this results in increased weight savings, and advantages with regard to the cost and simplicity of manufacturing the tent.
  • Pocket elements may be formed from an elongate piece of material and secured to the ground sheet or canopy sheet. The pocket elements may be cone shaped.
  • the tent may be provided with tension straps. These are typically provided along lines of most tension when the tent is assembled and have a pocket element secured at each end, in line with the tension strap. This increases the strength and durability of the tent while keeping the overall weight of the tent to a minimum.
  • a tension strap for use as part of the tent is secured to a ground sheet, the tension strap having a first end and a second end which are shaped to form a pair of pockets in which a first end and a second end of the pole respectively may be received.
  • the tent may further comprise a fly sheet and at least one guy rope.
  • a fly sheet helps to keep insects from the inside of the tent.
  • Guy ropes allow extra tension to be applied to the canopy of the tent and assist in securing the tent to the ground. Further, where the canopy extends beyond the pole structure, guy ropes can be used to achieve different shapes to the exterior of the tent.
  • a tent typically comprises a ground sheet and a canopy sheet.
  • a support structure is provided by curved tent poles which are secured to at least one of these sheets so that the tent is self-supporting and has a partially enclosed internal space.
  • the fixture points for the poles are held in a fixed position by tension of the poles and the material between the fixture points.
  • a typical known tent 100 is shown in figure 1 .
  • a geodesic tent with two supporting poles 110 is shown.
  • the ends of the poles 110 are secured in position by straps attached to the outside of a ground sheet of the tent 100.
  • the securing means for a single pole are spaced a suitable distance apart for the length of pole.
  • the tent structure will be in tension between the two ends of the poles 110, usually across the ground sheet.
  • the outer side of a canopy sheet 130 has a series of hooks, loops or sleeves 140 which are used to suspend the sheet 130 from the frame.
  • the support structure provides a frame from which other parts of the tent 100 are hung and the internal enclosure is spaced apart from the pole 110 structure.
  • two pairs of pocket elements are positioned at spaced apart locations near the corners of a substantially rectangular ground sheet.
  • the pocket elements each have an opening for receiving the end of a tent pole.
  • Respective pairs of pocket elements are located opposite each other along diagonals bisecting each of the corners of the ground sheet. The openings of each of the pocket elements in each pair face each other.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic illustration of a single tent pole 210 used with a pair of pocket elements (not shown).
  • the pocket elements are spaced apart along a tension strap or portion of a ground sheet 220, and the distance between the pocket elements is less than the length of the pole 210.
  • the tent pole 210 forms an arch between the pair of pocket elements.
  • the pole 210 is threaded through a sleeve 240 of the canopy 230.
  • FIG 3 shows a schematic illustration of a two tent pole structure, used with two pairs of pocket elements 250, 252.
  • the pocket elements 250, 252 are spaced apart near to the extremities of a ground sheet 220, and the pocket elements 250, 252 are paired between diagonally opposite corners.
  • the two tent poles 210 cross each other and therefore form a dome structure.
  • a canopy sheet is not shown in this illustration.
  • two tent poles are used to provide a skeletal support structure to the tent.
  • the ends of the first pole are secured in the first pair of pockets and the ends of the second pole are secured in the second pair of pockets.
  • the poles are longer than the distance between a pair of pockets and are curved under tension away from the ground sheet.
  • the skeletal structure has sufficient height to provide a shelter in which one or more humans can be accommodated.
  • the ground sheet is in tension, also.
  • This provides a base to the tent with relatively flat fabric stretched between the corners of the tent.
  • the two poles may be fixed to each other at the point where they cross to provide rigidity and stability to the structure. Alternatively, or in addition, the poles may be fixed to the tent at some other point.
  • a canopy is provided to form at least a partially enclosed internal space to the tent, i.e. the walls and roof of the tent.
  • the canopy is secured to the ground sheet along the edges.
  • the canopy is stretched or otherwise arranged over the tent poles.
  • the canopy comprises sleeves on the internal side through which the poles may be threaded. The sleeves secure the canopy to the pole structure and provide a third fixed point along the length of the poles to provide the pole structure with some stability.
  • the at least one pair of pocket elements and the pole structure are located within the enclosed internal space of the tent.
  • the arrangement of the skeletal support structure within the enclosed internal space enables much more flexibility as to the shape of the canopy.
  • the canopy has a suitable shape so that it extends beyond the limits of the pole structure. This provides for a covered area that is not under the pole structure.
  • the tent may be provided with tension straps. These are strings, ropes, strips, ribbons or belts of material that is stronger than the sheet material when under tension to provide reinforcement to the sheet material. Tension straps may be secured to any part of the tent sheets, and are typically secured along lines which carry the maximum tension. Therefore, in many instances they will be secured between a pair of pocket elements.
  • the pocket is made from an elongate piece of flexible material which is arranged in a cone shaped configuration. The pocket is then secured to one of the tent sheets.
  • FIGS 4A, 4B , 5A and 5B show the top and bottom views of a pocket 350 before it has been secured to a tent.
  • the pocket 350 is simple in construction and is made from a flexible material.
  • the flexible material has a first side 351 that becomes the "inside” or front of the pocket 350, and a second side 353 that becomes the "outside” or back and bottom of the pocket 350.
  • the first and second edges 355, 356 are the long edges of the elongate form and are opposite each other.
  • the second edge 356 of the formed pocket 350 has edging material 354.
  • the third and fourth edges 357 are the short edges of the elongate form and are opposite each other.
  • the material is curved around the mid-point of the first edge 355 so that third and fourth edges 357 are overlapping.
  • the shape is similar to a cone, with the mid-point of the first edge 355 forming the apex of the cone 358.
  • the material is stitched along the first edge 351 on the bottom 353 of the pocket through the overlapping pocket material.
  • the pocket may be stitched along the first edge 355 on the inside 351 of the pocket 350. Both lines of stitching may be seen on the bottom 353 of the pocket 350 in figures 5A and 5B , and a single line of stitching may be seen on the inside 351 of the pocket 350 in figures 4A and 4B .
  • Edging material is secured around the edge of the cone to reinforce the edge and prevent fraying.
  • the edging material 354 does not extend along the third and fourth edges 357 of the pocket 350. Instead these edges are folded over and secured by stitching.
  • At least one pair of pocket elements is secured to the fabric of the tent so that poles may be inserted in the pocket elements and to provide a skeleton support structure.
  • pocket elements may be secured to tension straps, as discussed below.
  • Figures 6A, 6B , 7A, 7B , 8A and 8B show various views of a pocket 350 fixed to the fabric of the tent.
  • the pocket 350 is located at the end of a tension strap 360.
  • the third and fourth edges 357 are orientated so that they are perpendicular to the extended direction of the tension strap 360.
  • the pocket 350 is also fixed at the apex 358 by stitching across the apex 358 of the cone. Again, the direction of stitching is generally perpendicular to the extended direction of the tension strap 360.
  • the pocket 350 is attached to the tent fabric it has the shape of a truncated cone.
  • the opening of the cone is generally in the same direction as the tension strap 360.
  • the pocket elements are suitably sized so that one or more tent pole ends may be inserted in each pocket. In some cases, the pocket elements are sized to review two or more tent pole ends.
  • the pocket may have internal compartments, to divide the pocket into sections, one for each pole.
  • Figures 9A, 9B , 10A and 10B show two views of the pocket 350 with two tent poles 210 inserted.
  • the end of each pole 210 is inserted in the front of the pocket 350 and directed towards the apex of the cone 358.
  • the poles 210 do not need to be accurately positioned, as the shape of the pocket 350 will direct the pole to the correct position.
  • When the pole 210 is in tension the end of the pole 210 is positioned close to the apex 358 of the cone and will be in line with the tension strap 360.
  • the back top edge 256 of the pocket 350 extends up the poles, and the sides of the pocket 350 are under tension.
  • the depth of the pocket 350 ensures that the poles 210 are secured in position without the need to insert the pole 210 through a small opening or accurately position the pole 210.
  • pocket elements may be integrated into the straps. For example, by folding over a portion of the strap near an end and securing it to itself so that it forms a cone or similar shape.
  • the pocket elements may be formed from a simple strap section which is folded round and secured to make a stirrup. In securing the stirrup, the end would be enclosed for securing a pole within.
  • the pocket elements may be made by securing an extra piece of material to the ground sheet, in the same place as the sheet, along two sides thereby providing a flap under which the end of a pole may be inserted.
  • the pocket may be formed from a moulded plastic with holes included in the mould for securing to the tent.
  • the tension strap is provided as reinforcement along certain lines of the tent fabric. If the tent fabric is strong enough in the direction of tension when the tent is assembled, then additional reinforcement is not required.
  • Parts for a tent have been described above. The skilled person will be aware of the various materials and the type of construction commonly used to make each part. The invention is not limited to use of any particular material. Each part may be constructed from materials which have suitable properties for the use of the part.
  • a first end of a pole is inserted in the first pocket of a pair of pocket elements.
  • the pole is forced to flex by the user in order to insert the second end of the pole in the second pocket of the pair of pocket elements, as the pocket elements are spaced apart at a distance less than the length of the pole. Additional poles are inserted in additional pairs of pocket elements until the poles form the complete skeletal support structure.
  • poles While it is not required that any particular pole is used with a particular pocket element pair, some lengths of pole will be more suitable for a particular pair of pocket elements than others. For example, if the poles are too short then a lower than desirable structure will be formed. Alternatively, if the poles are too long then a higher than desired structure will be formed, or it will not be possible to flex the poles so that they will fit between a pair of pocket elements.
  • the ground sheet will be in tension. Initially, when only one pole is inserted, the ground sheet will only be in tension between the two ends of the pole. As more poles are inserted, this will extend to an area of the ground sheet.
  • the canopy sheet may comprise sleeves, or loops on the interior service.
  • the poles are threaded through the sleeves or loops before the pole ends are inserted in the pocket elements.
  • the sleeves or loops assist in locating the canopy sheet in the correct position relative to the support structure and ground sheet, and to ensure that the canopy stays in the correct position during use of the tent once it is fully assembled.
  • the internal surface of the canopy sheet may comprise clips which may be attached to the poles after the skeletal structure is assembled.
  • the canopy sheet is positioned over the structure and is at least loosely secured to the skeletal pole structure.
  • the poles and pocket elements are within an at least partially enclosed internal space.
  • the edges of the canopy is secured to the ground sheet so that the support structure is entirely covered. In this case an opening in one side of the canopy would be provided to allow access to the tent.
  • the canopy extends beyond the limits of the pole structure.
  • the internal pole structure allows more flexibility to the external canopy than for conventional tents where the shape is substantially determined by the exo-skeleton of the external poles.
  • the ground sheet and or canopy may be secured to the ground with pegs.
  • the tent may further comprise guy ropes on the outer surface, which may be pegged also in order to provide the tent with additional tension and greater stability. Still further, additionally the tent may include a fly sheet or both inner and outer layers.
  • pocket elements may be attached to the canopy or fly sheet of the tent in addition to the ground sheet. This will normally be where additional poles are provided in order to achieve more complex skeletal structure.
  • the ground sheet and canopy may be permanently secured together by stitching the canopy to the ground sheet around the edges of the ground sheet.
  • the canopy would be provided with at least one opening for inserting the tent poles when assembling the tent and for entering the enclosed internal space when the tent is assembled.
  • tent poles are typically flexible and they may bend when a force, external to the tent, is applied. For example, there may be some movement in the tent structure in high wind. However, the tent will remain assembled due to the balance of tension provided throughout the tent and the tolerance of the securing points of the skeletal structure.
