Description

The present invention relates to a mesh tent for a bed according to the preamble of claim 1.

In many places there are insects, spiders and other smaller crawling animals such as Beetles and, if necessary, beating, which can disturb human sleep. Mosquitoes, also called mosquitoes, can cause itchy bites and transmit diseases. The buzzing of insects, and especially mosquitoes, and the crawling of insects can prevent falling asleep and disrupt sleep.

Therefore, it is known to place nets over a bed and to have the bed laterally surrounded by the netting so that insects and the like can be separated from the sleeping person, e.g. can be kept away from the user of the bed. Such networks can be used permanently and stationary. In this case, the net is usually installed in the ceiling and, if necessary, on at least one wall of a room above the bed. For this, hooks and the like can be used, which are to be fastened in the ceiling or in the wall of the room. Ropes or the like may also be required for fastening.

The disadvantage of such simple networks is that there is no input. The net must therefore be raised and gathered so that the user can crawl into the bed underneath it.

Another disadvantage is that the loose and patchy edge of the net can lead to the fact that complete and secure protection against crawling animals and beating can not be created, since these can get into the interior of the net through the gaps between the floor and the edge of the net ,

Another disadvantage is that suspension points such as hooks in the ceiling and possibly on at least one wall of the room are required to hold the net. This rather restricts the use to stationary use, because when used, for example on a trip, such suspension points are not to be expected in every room, such as a hotel room, and usually not without tools and without damaging the ceiling or walls of the Hotel room created can be. A ladder may also be required to hang the net in order to reach the ceiling or the upper area of the wall of the hotel room, which further increases the effort or can prevent the use of the net.

It is therefore known to use such nets in the form of tents, which in particular can be designed to be completely closable and self-supporting. In such a mesh tent, there are usually at least two struts in the form of glass fiber poles which support the mesh. The struts can, for example, be designed to be pluggable and arranged to cross each other diagonally. The struts are usually guided through tent pole channels of the network. The four ends of the struts must be inserted into the four corners of the bed between the mattress and the bed frame in order to give the net tent a certain hold on the bed or on the mattress. The entrance can be made via two side entrances, which can be opened and closed with a zipper.

Models of mesh tents are also known, the mesh of which is held by four endlessly closed struts in the form of flexible glass fiber or metal rods, which are approximately egg-shaped, approach each other at the top of the mesh tent and on the edges of the bed frame in the lower region of the mesh tent rest. The four endlessly closed struts are thus to be arranged essentially parallel to the four edges of the bed when in use. Side entry options are also available here. Due to the flexible design of the endlessly closed struts, they do not have to be taken apart but the net tent can be compressed as a whole and stowed in a carrying bag. The construction can take place automatically through the tensioned, endlessly closed struts; this can be called a pop-up function.

A disadvantage of such net tents in both cases is that they are designed for a certain mattress size and can only be used sensibly for this mattress size, since these net tents are each designed to be completely on the bed, i.e. to lie on the mattress or on the bed frame or to be pinched between the mattress and the bed frame.

This means that in the case of a bed or a mattress which has a larger lying area than the net tent, part of the lying area of the mattress cannot be covered by the net tent and therefore cannot be used. If a mesh tent that is too narrow is used for a bed for two with two mattresses and at least one mattress has a lounge chair that has formed approximately in the middle of the width of the mattress in the course of use, this lounge chair can lack sufficient width of the net tent are not used for sleeping. This means that at least one person has to sleep on the edge of the deckchairs, which can affect the convenience of using the mesh tent.

Another disadvantage is that if the mesh tent is wider or longer than the existing bed or its mattress, the mesh tent cannot be used sensibly. If it is used anyway, if the ends of the struts are still clamped into the corners of the bed in a net tent with two diagonally crossing struts, this can lead to impermissible loads on the glass fiber poles and cause them to break in the long term. This will prevent further use of the network tent. If a net tent with four endlessly closed struts is used on a bed that is too small, two endlessly closed struts hang e.g. on both sides of the bed loosely beyond the bed and cannot support the mesh tent on the bed, which can affect the stability of use. The two endless struts on the head and foot side, which can rest on the bed, can also be subjected to greater stress. If a bed is shorter than the net tent, this applies accordingly. In any case, the improper use of such net tents can lead to extraordinary loads for the net tent and in particular for its struts, which can lead to damage and reduce the lifespan of the net tent. The net tent cannot be used over the entire area.

Another disadvantage is that the dimensions of such network tents vary from e.g. a specified length of 200 cm always refer to the maximum external dimension. Due to the respective construction of the struts and their own tension when setting up the mesh tent, both types of mesh tents described above have a concave shape in the floor area between the struts. In other words, the height of the net tent tapers directly from the ground, the length of which is specified as the external dimension. The clear distance between the net at the head and foot ends is significantly less than e.g. 200 cm. Furthermore, the length of the bottom of the net tent of e.g. 200 cm relevant but the decisive dimension is approx. 15 cm to 25 cm above the bottom of the net tent, where the contact between head or foot and the net of the net tent can take place. The length or the clear internal dimension at this height above the bottom of the net tent is thus significantly reduced by the curve shape of the net tent compared to the length of the bottom of the net tent itself. In practice, therefore, when the length is stretched, there is contact with the head or foot and the net of the net tent from a length of a user of approximately 185 cm. Such a net tent, which has a nominal length of 200 cm, is actually only suitable for people with a body length of 185 cm.

Another disadvantage is that no net tents with a closed bottom are known which have a skin-friendly bottom. Rather, the bottom of the net tent is usually formed by the material of the net, as previously described. If you want to avoid sleeping directly on the mesh material, you must also use a blanket or sheet to cover the mesh material on the bottom of the mesh tent. When traveling, however, this means that the blanket or sheet must also be carried, which is an additional effort and in particular a means additional weight and volume for the luggage. Spreading the blanket or sheet can mean additional effort for the user. Since the blanket or sheet cannot be fixed between the bed frame and mattress due to the use of a closed mesh tent, it can be assumed that the blanket or sheet no longer remains properly in place due to movements of the user during sleep and thus becomes redundant in the course of sleeping. If this is to be avoided, a sleeping bag must be used, but this is nonsensical, since night-time protection against, for example, insects, arachnids, beetles and other crawling animals as well as beating is usually required in climates that are too warm at night to be used of a sleeping bag to make sense.

A disadvantage of the above Pop-up tents that, due to their tightly stowed endlessly closed struts, can expand and set up automatically and quickly, which relieves the user of this activity and can be carried out in a matter of seconds, but stowing the self-strained endlessly closed struts in a pocket or the like can be very cumbersome for the user, especially in the absence of practice and routine.

An object of the present invention is to provide a net tent for a bed of the type described in the introduction, which partially or completely overcomes or at least reduces the disadvantages described above. In particular, the comfort of using such network tents for the sleeping person is to be increased. This should be achieved especially for people with a large body length. As an alternative or in addition, a net tent is to be created which can be adapted to the size of a bed as simply, quickly and flexibly as possible. At least an alternative to known net tents should be created.

The object is achieved by a network tent with the features of claim 1. Advantageous further developments are described in the subclaims.

Thus, the present invention relates to a net tent for a bed with a net, which is designed to at least substantially, preferably completely, enclose an interior, with at least one first strut, preferably at least one first arch strut, and at least one second strut, preferably at least a second arch strut, which are designed to be arranged at least substantially parallel to one another and to support the net, and with at least one cross strut which is designed to be arranged at least substantially perpendicularly between the two struts and to space them apart, wherein the net is designed to be supported by the two struts in the longitudinal direction of the bed at least in a first length and in a second length, and / or by the two struts in the transverse direction of the bed at least in a first width and in a second Wide to be worn.

In other words, the present invention relates to a scaffold construction comprising at least a first strut, a second strut and a cross strut, which are designed to support the net of the net tent in such a way that an interior of the net tent is created on a bed or on its mattress can. It is also possible to use more than two struts and / or more than one cross strut. Thus, a scaffold structure can be created which, due to the use of at least three struts, is able to hold the net in such a way that an interior volume can be created for a user to sleep on a bed.

Preferably, two arch struts can be used as the first and second struts, i.e. two curved struts. This can simplify construction and reduce the number of segments that make up the struts, as will be explained below, to save cost, weight and volume. The arch struts are preferably sufficiently flexible to apply sufficient tension to the network in order to tension them in the respective spatial direction. The height of the interior can be specified by the length of the arch struts and by the degree of bending of the arch struts.

The two struts and the cross strut can preferably be dismantled, as will be described in more detail below. The two struts and the cross strut are preferably at least partially formed from a fiberglass material, but all other suitable materials can also be used.

Alternatively, inflatable tubes can be used as struts and as a cross strut. As a result, the weight of separate parts as struts can be avoided during transport. These hoses can preferably be firmly connected to the network or integrated into the network, so that these hose struts do not have to be handled separately. To assemble the hose struts, e.g. inflated with an air pump, a portable compressor or simply with your mouth to act as load-bearing struts. The air can be released again from the hose struts for dismantling. The length of the hose struts can e.g. can be adjusted via valves so that only part of a hose strut or its entire length can be inflated by opening or closing the valves. As a result, the hose struts can have a different length.

Net tents, such as those described in the introduction, are generally known to keep insects and other animals away from a sleeping person. However, these are always only designed for a single mattress size.

According to the invention, the present net tent is designed to be varied in its base area. On the one hand, this can be in the longitudinal direction of the bed between at least the first length and the second length. Alternatively or additionally, the mesh tent can also be varied between at least a first width and a second width. More than two lengths and / or widths can also be selected. For this purpose, the net can be carried through the framework of the at least two struts and the at least one cross strut, so that a self-supporting and variable in size insect protection tent can be created.

This can preferably be done by a plurality of receptacles for each open end of an arch rod, so that they can be displaced in the longitudinal direction in order to vary the length of the net floor in the longitudinal direction. The areas of the net floor and the net roof that are no longer tensioned when shortening can be gathered together if necessary.

Likewise, the second arch rod can be displaced in the transverse direction between a plurality of receptacles and the cross rod can be shortened in order to vary the width of the net floor in the transverse direction. Here, too, the areas of the net floor and the net roof that are no longer tensioned when shortening can be gathered together. Shortening in the transverse direction can also take place without displacing the second arch rod, if only the transverse rod is shortened and the net floor and the net roof are gathered together in the transverse direction.

The network is preferably designed to completely enclose an interior. This can provide complete protection against insects and the like. In particular, it can be avoided that insects and in particular crawling animals or snakes can crawl under a hanging net and get into the interior of the net.

The net tent preferably has exactly the first strut and the second strut, which are designed to be arranged at least substantially parallel to one another and to carry the net. In this way, the properties described above can be achieved by using as few struts as possible, which on the one hand can reduce the weight of the net tent, in particular during transport, and can also keep the effort involved in setting up and dismantling the net low. This can also reduce costs.

Preferably, the first strut and the second strut are aligned in the longitudinal direction of the bed and the cross strut is aligned in the transverse direction of the bed. In this way, the flatter areas of the network, which are achieved by the tensioning by means of the two struts, can be arranged on the foot or head side. This can be advantageous because in these areas of a bed, when the user is lying down, the user needs the least space for the feet and the head. In particular, in the central region of the bed in the longitudinal direction in which a user can sit down, as large a volume as possible can be created to the side, since the highest region of the struts runs in this region. This can be the convenience of using for increase the user, since the orientation of the interior, which is created by the network, can be adapted to the preferred or customary use of the person.

According to one aspect of the present invention, the first length is greater than the usual length of a mattress, preferably greater than approximately 200 cm. In other words, the net of the net tent protrudes beyond the dimensions of the mattress in the longitudinal direction of the bed when it is supported by the two arch rods in the first length. In this way, a net tent can be created which is particularly suitable for tall people, i.e. is suitable for people with a body length of almost 200 cm and beyond, in particular over 200 cm. In this way it can be avoided for such tall people that they bump into the net with their feet and / or with their head when sleeping. Rather, it is now possible for such tall people to extend their feet to the lower, foot-side edge of the mattress and even beyond it, without touching the net. At the same time, the head can also be at a greater distance from the network, so that contact can also be avoided at this point. In this way, in particular in the case of a completely enclosed interior of the net, the net provides complete protection against insects for the sleeping person and at the same time enables such tall people to sleep in a fully extended position.

The second length preferably corresponds to the usual length of a mattress, preferably approximately 200 cm, or is less. In this way, the net tent according to the invention can also be used for mattresses of the usual length without protruding beyond them on the foot side. Thus, according to the invention, a net tent can be created which can be used in conventional mattresses as previously known and can also be brought to the first length in order to be used by particularly tall people, as described above. In this second length, the net tent can also be used for a bed with a bed frame with structures at the head and / or foot end, since in this case the net tent cannot protrude at all over the mattress in the longitudinal direction.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the network for receiving the first strut has at least one foot-side first seat of the first strut, one foot-side second seat of the first strut and one head-side seat of the first strut, the foot-side first seat of the first strut and the head-side receptacle of the first strut in the longitudinal direction of the bed are arranged spaced apart from each other by the first length, and wherein the foot-side second receptacle of the first strut and the head-side receptacle of the first strut are arranged spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the bed, and for receiving the second strut, the network has at least one foot-side first seat of the second strut, one foot-side second seat of the second strut and one head-side seat of the second strut, the foot-side seat first receptacle of the second strut and the head-side receptacle of the second strut are arranged at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction of the bed, and the foot-side second receptacle of the second strut and the head-side receptacle of the second strut in the longitudinal direction of the bed by the second length are spaced from each other. Depending on the arrangement of the distances between the individual receptacles, the second receptacle on the foot side of the first strut can also be referred to as the second receptacle on the head side of the first strut if the second receptacle is at a shorter distance from the head end of the bed than from the end at the foot end.

In this way, several receptacles can be created in which the two struts can be inserted and held with one of their two open ends. The multiple receptacles per strut make it possible to arrange the struts in different lengths and thus stretch the net in the longitudinal direction of the bed or in the transverse direction of the bed. The receptacles, for example, can each be designed as pockets, tabs, loops, holding mandrels and the like. The struts can be flexible enough to be arranged in the same length in different receptacles. The struts can be shortened or extended to be arranged in different lengths in different receptacles. This change in length makes it possible to adapt the mesh tent to different lengths of mattresses or even to protrude beyond the foot-side edge of a mattress, as previously described.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the network for receiving the first strut has at least one foot-side first reception of the first strut and a head-side reception of the first strut, the network has at least one foot-side first reception of the second strut and one for receiving the second strut head-side receptacle of the second strut, wherein the foot-side first receptacle of the first strut and the foot-side first receptacle of the second strut are arranged at a distance from one another in the transverse direction of the bed, and wherein the head-side receptacle of the first strut and the head-side receptacle of the second strut in the transverse direction of the bed are spaced apart from each other by the first width, and the network further has at least one foot-side inner receptacle of the second strut and a head-side inner receptacle of the second strut for receiving the second strut, the foot-side first receptacle of the first The strut and the foot-side inner receptacle of the second strut are arranged spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction of the bed and the head-side receptacle of the first strut and the head-side inner receptacle of the second strut are arranged spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction of the bed by the second width are.

In this way, comparable to the changes in the length in the longitudinal direction of the bed described above, the width in the transverse direction of the bed can be changed. Through this change in width it can be possible to use the mesh tent on beds or mattresses of different widths and to be able to adapt to them. The first width and the second width can be chosen such that they correspond to the usual mattress widths. For example, the first width can be 180 cm, as is common with many double beds or king-size beds. The second width can be, for example, 140 cm, as is the case with many other bed types. In this way, the net tent according to the invention can be used with both widths of mattresses. Depending on the application, it may also be possible to use widths other than those mentioned above as the first width and as the second width. It may also be possible to be able to set more than two widths for the second strut by means of a corresponding number of receptacles.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the network for receiving the second strut further comprises at least one foot-side inner second seat of the second strut, the foot-side inner second seat of the second strut and the head-side inner seat of the second strut in the longitudinal direction of the bed the second length is arranged at a distance from one another and the foot-side inner second receptacle of the second strut and the foot-side second receptacle of the first strut are arranged at a distance from one another in the transverse direction of the bed. In this way, both the width and the length of the net tent or its net bottom can be reduced.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the net tent has a floor frame with at least a first frame element and a second frame element, the first frame element and the second frame element being aligned at least substantially parallel to one another, the first frame element and the second frame element being formed, to be carried by the bed, and wherein the base frame is designed to at least partially support the net, preferably a net floor, and / or the two struts if the net extends in the first length, preferably further with a frame element on the foot side, wherein the foot-side frame element is connected to the first frame element and to the second frame element and is oriented at least substantially perpendicular to the first frame element and to the second frame element.

In this way, a support structure or a support frame can be created to support the net when it is arranged in the first length and protrudes beyond the foot end of a mattress. In particular, this also allows the weight of the feet of the sleeping person to be carried, which extend beyond the end of the mattress on the foot side and can thus rest on the net “hanging in the air”. In this case, the support frame, which represents the floor frame, can hold the corner points of the two struts from below and thus extend the net beyond the mattress on the foot side, without the mattress hanging too far down, to no longer make sense to be usable. For this purpose, it may be sufficient if the two struts are connected to the floor frame via the network in order to absorb the weight forces of the struts. Alternatively, the two struts can rest directly on the floor frame and thus transmit the forces directly to the floor frame. The frame elements are preferably formed at least partially from a fiberglass material or from another suitable material. Alternatively, inflatable tubes can also be used as frame elements, as already described above.

For this, at least two parallel frame elements can be used, which lie in the longitudinal direction on the mattress or on the bed frame and the forces absorbed by the struts can be transmitted to the mattress or the bed frame via the first frame element and the second frame element , In this case, a tension in the transverse direction can be applied to the two frame elements, e.g. by a holding means such as be applied by a belt, as will be described in more detail below.

A U-shaped support frame can preferably be used, in which the two frame elements are kept at a distance by a frame element on the foot side. This can stretch the foot-side frame element and stabilize the net on the foot side in the transverse direction. Therefore, the frame element on the foot side can preferably be shortened or extended in its length, which extends in the transverse direction, in order to be adapted to the first width and to the second width and, if appropriate, to at least one further width.

Preferably, the floor frame as an O-shaped support frame can additionally have a head-side frame element which runs parallel to the foot-side frame element and perpendicular to the first frame element and the second frame element. In this way a floor frame can be created which can also rest on the mattress or on the bed frame at the head end of the net. The net tent can also protrude beyond the top end of the mattress by means of the head-side frame element, if this is desired by the user, and the bottom net of the net tent can be carried in this area. In any case, the transmission of the forces absorbed by the struts to the mattress or to the bed frame can improve and, in particular, tension the net on the head side in the transverse direction. However, the head-side frame element can cause additional costs and an additional weight to be transported and can also be assembled or disassembled.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the first strut and / or the second strut and / or the cross strut and / or the foot-side frame element and / or the first frame element and / or the second frame element (respectively ) a plurality of segments into which the strut, the cross strut or the frame element can be dismantled, preferably the segments of the strut, the first frame element and / or the second Frame elements are connected by means of a tensioning element, preferably running internally, and / or wherein the segments of the foot-side frame element and / or the cross strut are preferably connected by means of a tensioning element, preferably extending externally. If a head-side frame element is used, as described above, this should preferably be implemented like the foot-side frame element.

As a result, various elements of the supporting structures of the network can be created, which can be broken down into a plurality of segments by their segmentation. Depending on the application, the segments can have the same or different lengths. This can make it easier to transport a mesh tent because these supporting structures can be stowed and transported in comparatively short individual parts.

To set up the network tent, these segments can be connected to each other. This can preferably be supported by the segments each having at least one segment receptacle into which a further segment with a correspondingly thinner side can be inserted. The segment recordings can preferably be created by correspondingly wider sleeves. Alternatively, however, other plug or screw connections can also be used. Also, e.g. a bayonet lock can be used.

The various segments by means of a clamping element such as Connecting them with a rubber band can enable them to be disassembled but held together by the tensioning means. A clamping element can be used to connect only two segments to one another. However, a clamping element can also have several to all segments of an element, e.g. a strut connect. In particular, this can simplify the construction in particular because all segments which are to be joined to form a strut or the like are already connected to one another by the tensioning element. The individual segments remain so even during transport. This can result in the individual segments being interchanged, e.g. be avoided during construction. This can significantly simplify and accelerate the setup. Losing of the segments can also be prevented.

Providing the connecting element as a tensioning element, ie elastically resilient, can make it possible for the tensioning element to go completely into a tensioned position in the assembled state of the individual segments and thus to take up as little volume as possible and not to interfere with the assembly of the segments. The tensioning element can also securely hold the segments plugged together. For most segments, this can preferably be done inside, since, for example, in the struts for changing the length in the longitudinal direction of the bed, an end segment can be pulled out and folded away. This is also possible with an external clamping element.

However, the foot-side frame element of the U-shaped floor element, which is received on the edge of the first frame element or the second frame element of the floor element and thus has to be shortened by removing at least one middle segment, cannot therefore be held together by an internal tensioning element, since when a middle or outer segment is folded away, the inner tensioning element would prevent the other segments of the frame element from being plugged together. In this case, the clamping element must be arranged on the outside. This applies accordingly to the cross strut and for an O-shaped floor element for some to all frame elements. The external tensioning element can be attached, for example, by means of selective attachments in the form of adhesives, clamps, cable ties and the like.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the net tent has at least one first floor support, preferably at least two floor supports, which is designed to be arranged on a surface and the net, preferably a net floor, and / or the two struts at least partially wear when the net extends the first length. This floor support is therefore intended to be fixed on a surface, e.g. the floor of a room to be set up and to extend enough in height to be able to support the net or at least one strut from below. For this purpose, the floor support can preferably be variable in length. This can e.g. by pulling out or unscrewing an upper part of the floor support from a lower part of the floor support. The floor support can also be segmented, so that the desired length can be set by removing or adding segments. Preferably, two floor supports are to be used, each of which can be arranged under a strut to hold it. This can improve the stability of the net protruding in the longitudinal direction of the bed beyond the foot end of a mattress.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the net tent has at least one foot-side first support strut and one foot-side second support strut, which are designed to be arranged on the bed and the net, preferably a net floor, and / or the two struts at least partially wear when the net extends the first length. In this way, the struts can be supported with respect to the bed or its mattress or bed frame in order to avoid sagging of the area of the net or a floor net which projects in the first length beyond the mattress on the foot side. The two support struts can be supported with an open end on the mattress or on the frame of the bed frame. At the end facing the struts, the support struts can each be fastened to the strut with a fastening means. This can be done, for example, by a receptacle in the form of a pocket, a tab, an eyelet and the like. A knot or the like of an end of the support strut on the strut can also take place at this point.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the first strut and the second strut each have at least one cross strut receptacle, preferably in each case a plurality of cross strut receptacles, each of which is designed to receive the cross strut, preferably a cross strut. A connection between the cross strut and the respective strut can be established via the respective cross strut receptacle. If several cross struts and several cross strut holders are used, this can be done for one cross strut.

With the preferred use of a plurality of cross strut receptacles, it is possible to vary the position of the cross strut. In this way, the cross strut can be accommodated at a change in the length of the mesh tent at the positions of the struts, which is most suitable for this length, in order to e.g. to offer the largest possible internal volume of the net tent or the greatest possible freedom in the foot and / or head area.

Alternatively, there can only be one cross strut receptacle per strut, but this can be moved along the strut to make this possible. For this purpose, the cross strut holder can enclose the strut and be dimensioned such that there is a secure hold on the strut and the cross strut holder can nevertheless be moved by the user with the appropriate force. Several displaceable cross strut holders can also be used. Alternatively, there can be several fixedly positioned cross strut holders.

This can enable the user, depending on his needs and the application, to arrange the cross strut in one of several possible positions between the two struts and to thereby influence the stability or the volume of the net tent. It is also possible to use several cross struts at the same time in order to increase the stability of the struts to one another and thus to the net tent as a whole.

The cross strut receptacles can preferably be designed as a plug-in screw connection or as a plug-in connection which can accommodate individual segments of the struts in the direction of their extension. The cross strut receptacle can particularly preferably be designed as a T-shaped plug-in screw connection in order to also be able to accommodate one end of a cross strut. Push-in fittings are known from pneumatics, but can also be used as segments for connecting cylindrical struts, rods and the like. The segments can be easily and quickly inserted into the corresponding receptacle of the push-in fitting. It can also be released quickly and easily by unlocking the segment that has been picked up. At the same time, the segment held in the push-in fitting can be held securely and reliably, even when the struts move and are subjected to loads.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the net tent has at least one pair of diagonal tensioning elements, which are arranged diagonally alternately, preferably crossing each other diagonally, between the two struts. In other words, there are at least two tensioning elements, each of which is inclined to the direction of the spacing of the two struts, i.e. run diagonally, and this in the opposite orientation, so that tensile forces can be absorbed by a tensioning element in both diagonal directions. The two diagonal elements can e.g. be arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction. The two diagonal elements are preferably arranged so as to cross one another, so that their effect can be achieved in a smaller area. In particular, this can enable the arrangement of several pairs of diagonal elements next to one another in order to combine their effects.

In this way, the two struts can be supported with respect to one another, as is known from many structural truss constructions. In this way, the stability of the net tent during use can be increased by such an anti-tip device. For this purpose, the alignment of the bow rods and crossbar to each other can be supported. The diagonal elements can preferably be formed by textile elements such as e.g. textile tapes are created which have a significantly lower extensibility than the net and are sewn diagonally to the net between the two struts.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the net has at least one first entry element, which is designed to be opened by a user and to allow entry into the interior of the net tent and to be closed by means of a closure. For example, the network of the network tent can be partially severed in one area in order to create an area that is movable relative to the rest of the network and that forms the first entry element. This can preferably be arranged on the side which is spanned in height by a strut. This can make it possible for the user to have the broadest possible and high entry possibilities, which can increase the convenience of use. Such a possibility can preferably be created on both sides of the net tent, in order to enable entry and exit from the net tent or from the net tent on both sides. This can be closed with a lock, which e.g. can be a Velcro fastener and particularly preferably a zipper. In this way, a complete termination of this area of the network can be created in order to keep insects and the like away.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the network has a network floor, which consists of a textile material. As a result, the comfort of sleeping for the user can be significantly increased because sleeping directly on a net can be avoided and no additional sheet or blanket has to be used for this. Such a material can also and the net as a whole can be made washable as a result, which can increase the hygiene of use. A skin-friendly floor material can preferably be used for the net floor, in order to particularly increase the comfort of use by lying comfortably. At the same time, the floor material for insects is designed to be impenetrable or non-pierceable, in particular to prevent insects from being able to sting a user through the floor material in the area where the net tent protrudes in the longitudinal direction beyond the foot-side edge of the mattress.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the net tent has at least one couch pad, preferably made of a textile material, which is designed to be arranged on a net floor of the net, the couch pad preferably being designed with the net floor and / or with to be connected to the network. In this way, the network can be designed to be continuous and completely closed, which can facilitate its manufacture. At the same time, the additional and separate reclining surface enables more comfortable lying and sleeping on the mesh floor, since the mesh material can be covered by the reclining surface. This can increase sleeping comfort.

In this case too, the separate couch support can be made washable, which can increase the hygiene of use. In particular, the mattress pad can be handled separately from the rest of the network tent and in particular washed or exchanged. A skin-friendly floor material can preferably be used for the reclining pad, in order to increase the comfort of use by lying comfortably. At the same time, the material of the lying surface is designed so that it cannot penetrate or be pierced by insects, in particular to prevent insects from stinging a user through the floor material in the area where the net tent extends in the longitudinal direction over the foot-side edge of the mattress.

Preferably, it can be advantageous to design the recliner to be connectable to the net floor and / or to the net so that slipping of the recliner can be avoided, in particular during sleep. This can ensure the proper arrangement of the mattress support so that it can perform its function and develop its advantages. The bed support can be attached to the net floor and / or to the net preferably by means of tabs, hooks, tapes for knotting or also by means of Velcro attachments. It is also possible to pull the edges of the reclining support into corresponding channels in the net floor and / or the net.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the mesh tent has at least one holding means which is designed to hold the mesh tent on the bed, the holding means preferably being designed to partially or completely encompass the bed. This can be a reliable Arrangement of the net tent on the bed or on the mattress during use and in particular during sleep are made possible, which can increase the comfort of use.

This can preferably be done by a holding means such as e.g. a strap happen which engages around the bed at least once from one side of the mesh tent under the bed to the other side of the mesh tent. Such a belt can preferably be designed as an elastic tensioning strap or tensioned by hand by tightening. The holding means can also grip around the edges or flanks of the mattress or the entire bed and thereby bring about the hold. For this purpose, the open ends of the holding means can be attached to the bed or under the bed or can also be designed, e.g. due to their shape to hold this handle and to be flexibly mounted or removed. The open ends of the holding means can also be inserted between the mattress and the bed frame and held by the weight of the user.

The above Figures are viewed in Cartesian coordinates. A longitudinal direction X extends, which can also be referred to as depth X. A transverse direction Y extends perpendicular to the longitudinal direction X, which can also be referred to as the width Y. A vertical direction Z, which can also be referred to as height Z, extends perpendicular to both the longitudinal direction X and the transverse direction Y.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic top view of a net tent 1 according to the invention. 2 to 6 show different perspective representations of the net tent 1 according to the invention in different lengths L1, L2 and widths B1, B2.

The net tent 1 has a net 10 which can completely enclose an interior. The network 10 has an upper network 10a, which can also be referred to as a network roof 10a. The net roof 10a extends in an arc in the longitudinal direction X. Since the net tent 1 is intended to be arranged on a bed 2 or on its mattress 21, as further below with reference to FIG 3 to 13 will be explained, the lower section of the Fig. 1 or the lower left area of the Fig. 2 as the foot side of the bed 2 and the upper area of the Fig. 1 or the upper right area of the Fig. 2 be regarded as the top of the bed 2.

The network 10 also has a first, right side network 10b and a second left side network 10c. At the height Z downwards, the network 10 is closed off by a network floor 10d. The mesh floor 10d can also be referred to as sub-floor 10d. The net roof 10a, the first, right side net 10b, the second, left side net 10c and the net floor are completely sewn together at the edges and thus form a closed interior, which is enclosed by the net 10. The material of the net 10 is designed such that insects and the like, against which the user is to be protected, cannot penetrate him. In this way, the interior of the net 10 can be protected from insects and the like, so that a person can be protected there. Correspondingly, the net tent 1 on the bed 2 or on the mattress 21 can be used for sleeping. The floor 10d can be made of a pleasant skin-friendly material, which can enable comfortable sleeping for the user.

In order to keep the net roof 10a at a height Z above the net floor 10d, a first right strut 12a in the form of a first, right arch strut 12a and a second, left arch strut 12b in the form of a second, left arch strut 12b are used. The two arch struts 12a, 12b extend in the longitudinal direction X on the edge of the net floor 10d, on which they stand with their open ends or with which they are connected, as will be described in more detail below. In width Y, the two arch struts 12a, 12b are held at a distance in the transverse direction Y by a cross strut 13 and stabilized with respect to one another.

The net base 10d has at its four corner points a receptacle 10d1, 10d3, 10d4, 10d6 for an open end of one of the two arch struts 12a, 12b. Thus, a first receptacle 10d1 on the foot side of the first, right arch strut 12a is on the lower right corner of the net floor 10d according to FIG Fig. 1 intended. At the top right corner of the Fig. 1 a head-side receptacle 10d3 of the first, right arch strut 12a is provided. These two receptacles 10d1, 10d3 can be provided as pockets or tabs of the net bottom 10d, so that the first, right arch strut 12a with its two open ends can be inserted into one of the two receptacles 10d1, 10d3 and held there. As a result, the right edge of the net floor 10d can be used according to the Fig. 1 be stretched in the longitudinal direction X to a first length L1.

Comparable is at the lower left corner of the net floor 10d according to the Fig. 1 a first receptacle 10d4 on the foot side of the second, left bow strut 12b is provided. The upper left corner of the net floor 10d according to the Fig. 1 accordingly has a head-side first receptacle 10d6 of the second, left bow strut 12b. As a result, as described above, the left edge of the net floor 10d can also be stretched to the first length L1 in the longitudinal direction X. Furthermore, the net floor 10d can be stretched by a person in the transverse direction Y, so that the first width B1 extends between the foot-side first receptacle 10d1 of the first right arch strut 12a and the foot-side first receptacle 10d4 of the second left arch strut 12b in the transverse direction Y. established. This applies correspondingly to the distance in the transverse direction Y between the head-side receptacle 10d3 of the first, right arch strut 12a and the head-side first receptacle 10d6 of the second, left arch strut 12b. In this way, the net floor 10d can be stretched to its maximum area in this arrangement of the two arch struts 12a, 12b.

The net floor 10d furthermore has a foot-side second receptacle 10d2 of the first, right arch strut 12a, which is arranged in the longitudinal direction X at a distance of a second length L2 from the head-side receptacle 10d3 of the first, right arch strut 12a. Correspondingly, the net base 10d on the side opposite in width Y has a corresponding foot-side second receptacle 10d5 of the second, left arch strut 12b, which is also at a distance of the second length L2 in the longitudinal direction X from the head-side first receptacle 10d6 of the second, left arch strut 12b is arranged.

The first, right arch strut 12a can thus, with its open end on the foot side, instead of in the first receptacle 10d1 on the foot side of the first, right arch strut 12a in the second receptacle on the foot side 10d2 of the first right arch struts 12a can be arranged. Correspondingly, the second, left arch strut 12b can also be arranged with its foot-side open end instead of in the foot-side first receptacle 10d4 of the second, left arch strut 12a in the foot-side second receptacle 10d5 of the second, left arch strut 12b. As a result, the area of the net floor 10d which is tensioned by the two arch struts 12a, 12b can be shortened in the longitudinal direction X from the first length L1 to the second length L2. The area of the net floor 10d and the net roof 10a that is no longer tensioned can be gathered in the longitudinal direction X. In this way, the area of the net floor 10d can be varied between a first length L1 and a second length L2 in the longitudinal direction X.

The net floor 10d furthermore has an inner first receptacle 10d7 on the foot side of the second, left arch strut 12b, which is arranged in the transverse direction Y in a second width B2 to the first receptacle 10d1 on the foot side of the first, right arch strut 12a. Correspondingly, the head-side, upper edge of the net floor 10d has a head-side inner receptacle 10d9 of the second, left arch strut 12b, which is likewise arranged at a distance of the second width B2 in the transverse direction Y from the head-side receptacle 10d3 of the first, right arch strut 12a.

Starting from the first width B1 in the transverse direction Y, the second, left arch strut 12b can be arranged with its open end at the foot end instead of in the foot-side first receptacle 10d4 of the second, left arch strut 12b in the foot-side inner receptacle 10d7 of the second, left arch strut 12b. The opposite head-side open end of the second, left bow strut 12b can be arranged in the head-side inner seat 10d9 of the second, left bow strut 12b instead of in the head-side first receptacle 10d6 of the second, left bow strut 12b. As a result, the extent of the network base 10d in the transverse direction Y can be shortened from the first width B1 to the second width B2. The area of the net floor 10d and the net roof 10a that is no longer tensioned can be gathered in the transverse direction Y.

Alternatively, the two open ends of the second, left arch strut 12b can be left in the foot-side first receptacle 10d4 of the second, left arch strut 12b and in the head-side first receptacle 10d6 of the second, left arch strut 12b, and the net floor 10d and the net roof 10a in the transverse direction Y be gathered together. This also makes it possible to shorten the first width B1 to the second width B2.

It is also possible to use the two possibilities described above for reducing the extent of the net floor 10d in the longitudinal direction X and in the transverse direction Y together in order to minimize the area of the net floor 10d. For this purpose, the net floor 10d has an inner second receptacle 10d8 on the foot side of the second, left arch strut 12b, which in the transverse direction Y in the second width B2 to the second receptacle 10d2 on the foot side of the first, right arch strut 12a and in the longitudinal direction X in the second length L2 to the head-side inner receptacle 10d9 of the second, left bow strut 12b. The foot-side inner second receptacle 10d8 of the second, left bow strut 12b is arranged on the underside of the net floor 10d in order to disturb the user as little as possible when using the net tent 1 and in particular when sleeping, and can be folded up laterally for use or by the Gathering up the net floor 10d can only be exposed for use.

In this case, the first, right arch strut 12a can be arranged with an open end in the foot-side second receptacle 10d2 of the first, right arch strut 12a and in the head-side receptacle 10d3 of the first, right arch strut 12a. The second, left bow strut 12b can be arranged with an open end in the foot-side inner second receptacle 10d8 of the second, left bow strut 12b and with the opposite open end in the head-side inner receptacle 10d9 of the second, left bow strut 12b. As a result, the extent of the network base 10d can be shortened in the longitudinal direction X from the first length L1 to the second length L2 and in the transverse direction Y from the first width B1 to the second width B2. The area of the net floor 10d that is now no longer tensioned can be gathered together both in the longitudinal direction X and in the transverse direction Y. Furthermore, the no longer stretched area of the net roof 10a can be gathered in the transverse direction Y.

In this way it is possible to vary the area of the net floor 10d between four different extents. This can make it possible to use the mesh tent 1 according to the invention with an optimized lying surface on different mattress sizes. This can also make it possible for the net tent 1 according to the invention to protrude in the longitudinal direction X beyond the dimensions of a mattress 21, in order to enable more comfortable sleeping for tall people, as will be described in more detail below.

Fig. 3 shows a use of the net tent 1 according to the invention, in which the net floor 10d has its maximum area and with its first length L1 in the longitudinal direction X projects beyond the length of the mattress 21, which corresponds to the second length L2. In this way, a person who sleeps in the interior of the net tent 1 can extend his or her feet beyond the foot-side edge of the mattress 21 and still remain protected from insects and the like by the net 10. This can increase the convenience of using a network tent 1 according to the invention for such large people.

If the same mesh tent 1 according to the invention is now to be used with a mattress 21 of the second length L2 without projecting beyond it in the longitudinal direction X, the mesh tent 1 according to the invention can be inserted into the corresponding receptacles 10d2, 10d5 in FIG. 1 by inserting the two arch struts 12a, 12b Longitudinal direction X can be shortened to the second length L2, see Fig. 4 , For example be necessary if the net tent 1 according to the invention is to be used with a bed 2 which has a bed frame 20 which is excellent in height Z above the mattress 21.

As the Fig. 5 shows, the net tent 1 can also be used in length L1 with comparatively narrow mattresses. For this purpose, the net tent 1 can be reduced to the smaller second width B2.

Furthermore, as in the Fig. 6 shown, the net tent 1 can also be used with a minimal lying surface of the net bottom 10d by taking the smaller second length L2 and the smaller second width B2.

If the net tent 1 is used in the greater first length L1 and thereby protrudes beyond the foot-side edge of the mattress 21 in the longitudinal direction X, it can significantly increase the comfort of use if the foot-side open ends of the two arch struts 12a, 12b are supported in order to prevent this area of the net 10 from hanging down, which would mean a reduction in the interior of the net tent 1.

According to a first exemplary embodiment for supporting the arch struts 12a, 12b, the Fig. 7 a floor frame 14 is shown, which can also be referred to as a base frame 14. The floor frame 14 has a foot-side frame element 14a, a first, right frame element 14b, a second, left frame element 14c and a head-side frame element 14d, all of which are aligned at right angles to one another and connected to one another, so that an O-shaped floor frame 14 results. The frame elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d can be connected at the corners by means of push-in fittings which can be connected and released easily and quickly.

The first right frame element 14b, the second left frame element 14c and the head-side frame element 14d are arranged on the mattress 21 or on the bed frame 20 of the bed 2. As a result, the foot-side frame element 14a can be spaced apart from a base at the height Z and held approximately at the height of the upper edge of the mattress 21 or the bed frame 20. The floor frame 14 is connected to the edges of the net floor 10d, for example by knotting bands 15 as frame fastening means 15, as will be described in more detail below, so that the net 10 can be held by the floor frame 14, and vice versa. Since the two arch struts 12a, 12b are also connected to the net base 10d via the foot-side first receptacle 10d1 of the first, right arch strut 12a and via the foot-side first receptacle 10d4 of the second, left arch strut 12b, the weight of the two arch struts 12a, 12b can be increased the net floor 10d is transferred to the floor frame 14 and in particular to the foot ends of the first, right frame element 14b and the second, left frame element 14c. The floor frame 14 can absorb these weight forces over the areas of the first, right frame element 14b and the second, left frame element 14c, which are on the mattress 21 and on the Lay on bed frame 20, transfer to bed 2. This prevents the foot area of the net floor 10d from hanging down and thereby increases the comfort for the sleeping user.

According to the second exemplary embodiment for carrying the bow rods 12a, 12b, the Fig. 8 the floor frame 14 as a U-shaped floor frame 14 without the head-side frame element 14d. In this way too, the effect described above can be achieved comparatively, since the first, right frame element 14b and the second, left frame element 14c continue to rest on the mattress 21 or on the bed frame 20 of the bed 2. This can be sufficient to prevent the foot-side frame element 14a and thus the foot-side region of the net floor 10d from sinking. At the same time, the weight of the head-side frame element 14d can be saved, which can be advantageous for the transport of a net tent 1 according to the invention. The costs for the head-side frame element 14d can also be saved. Furthermore, the head-side frame element 14d does not have to be assembled or disassembled by the user.

Fig. 9 shows a third embodiment for carrying the bow rods 12a, 12b. In this case, a first, right floor support 16a and a second, left floor support 16b are used in order to be arranged at an open end of one of the two arch struts 12a, 12b. In this way, the ends of the arch struts 12a, 12b can be supported by the two floor supports 16a, 16b with respect to a subsurface, and thereby a lowering of the area of the net floor 10d on the foot side can be avoided. Both floor supports 16a, 16b can be adjusted in height Z in order to be able to keep the foot-side area of the net floor 10d at a desired height and thereby absorb the weight which the user has on his feet when he is sleeping with feet hanging over the mattress 21 on the foot side Net floor 10d can be applied.

Fig. 10 shows a fourth embodiment for supporting the bow struts 12a, 12b. In this case, a foot-side first, right support strut 17a and a foot-side second, left support strut 17b are used to support the corresponding arch strut 12a, 12b against the top of the mattress 21 of the bed 2. For this purpose, the two support struts 17a, 17b, which can also be referred to as diagonal struts 17a, 17b, each have an open end from the foot-side second receptacle 10d2 of the first, right arch strut 12a or the foot-side second receptacle 10d5 of the second, left arch strut 12b recorded since these are not currently being used by the bow struts 12a, 12b. At the opposite open end, the two support struts 17a, 17b can be clamped directly from below under the two arch struts 12a, 12b. The stop can be achieved at this point by appropriate shaping, for example by arching the open ends of the two support struts 17a, 17b, or by appropriate receptacles. Alternatively, the two support struts 17a, 17b can also be knotted with the net 10 in this area where the two support struts 17a, 17b cross the two arch struts 12a, 12b. In this way, too, a support of the foot-side end of the net floor 10d can be achieved.

In addition, the net roof 10a can optionally also be raised in the area on the head side opposite the top of the mattress 21. A head-side first, right support strut 17c and a head-side second, left support strut 17d can be used for this purpose. These can be fastened comparatively to the two support struts 17a, 17b on the foot side, each with an open end, on the arch struts 12a, 12b or on the net 10 and supported on the opposite open end on the top of the mattress 21. This can also increase the convenience of using the mesh tent 1 for the sleeping person.

11 to 13 serve the more detailed representation of further features of the network tent 1 according to the invention. In addition to those with reference to FIGS 1 to 10 features already described is in the 11 to 13 to recognize the bed 2 more precisely, which has the bed frame 20, which can also be referred to as a bed frame 20. The mattress 21 is received on or in the bed frame 20. The net tent 1 is arranged on the top of the mattress 21, as already described in detail above.

Additionally in the 11 to 13 numerous net fastening means 11 are shown, which can be realized in the form of bands 11, hooks 11, Velcro closures 11, eyelets 11, tabs 11, loops 11 or the like; Knotted tapes 11 are shown. The tapes 11 are arranged on the one hand in the region of the seam which connects the net roof 10a to the first, right side net 10b. These tapes 11 are according to the Fig. 11 and 13 used to attach this area of the net 10 to the first right arch strut 12a. This is done as shown in the Fig. 11 by knotting the bands 11. These bands 11 are also present on the opposite side of the net 10, where the seam is between the net roof 10a and the second, left side net 10c, see Fig. 12 , Furthermore, bands 11 are arranged at a distance of the second width B2 from the first right arch strut 12b in order to be used to hold the second left arch strut 12b when the net tent 1 with the second width B2 is used, see also Fig. 12 , These bands 11 can also hold the material of the net roof 10a which is then gathered together.

Like that 11 to 13 can be seen, frame fastening means 15 in the form of straps 15, hooks 15, Velcro fasteners 15, eyelets 15, tabs 15, loops 15 or the like are provided in order to connect the floor frame 14 to the net floor 10d.

In order to stabilize the net tent 1, a first diagonal tensioning element 18a on the foot side and a second diagonal tensioning element 18b on the foot side are provided, which intersect. Furthermore, a head-side first diagonal clamping element 18c and a head-side second diagonal clamping element 18d are provided, which likewise cross over one another. Viewed in the longitudinal direction X are the two feet Diagonal clamping elements 18a, 18b tend to face the foot end of the net tent 1 and the two diagonal clamping elements 18c, 18d on the head side tend to face the head end of the net tent 1. The diagonal tensioning elements 18a to 18d are each sewn to the net roof 10a and end with their open ends at the two seams which connect the net roof 10a to the respective side net 10b, 10c. At the same time, the diagonal tensioning elements 18a to 18d are designed with a lower extensibility than the net 10 itself. As a result, the diagonal clamping elements 18a to 18d can be used to stabilize in the transverse direction Y.

The two diagonal tensioning elements 18c, 18d on the head side are sewn in each case in the area of the head-side receptacle 10d3 of the first, right arch strut 12a or the head-side first receptacle 10d6 of the second, left arch strut 12b, in order to stabilize them from the net base 10d as far as possible to about the middle of the net roof 10a to be able to unfold. However, since the foot-side end of the mesh tent 1 can be shortened, the two foot-side diagonal tensioning elements 18a, 18b are each connected to the seams of the mesh roof 10a and the respective side mesh 10b, 10c where the foot-side second receptacle 10d2 of the first, right arch strut 12a and the foot-side second receptacle 10d5 of the second, left bow strut 12b. In this way, the stabilizing effect of the two diagonal tensioning elements 18a, 18b on the foot side can also be achieved when the net tent 1 is shortened to the second length L2. The diagonal tensioning elements 18a to 18d are also sewn at their intersection points with the area of the net roof 10a which forms the outer edge of the net 10 when the second width B2 is shortened in the transverse direction Y.

11 to 13 also show a first, right entry element 19a and a second, left entry element 19c. The two entry elements 19a, 19c are each formed as areas of the first, right side network 10b and the second, left side network 10c. The areas of the respective side net 10b, 10c, which forms an entry element 19a, 19c, can be lifted by the user in order to get into the interior of the net tent 1. In order to achieve protection against insects, crawling animals, snakes and the like in this case as well, the first, right entry element has a closure 19b and the second, left entry element 19c has a closure 19d. The two closures 19b, 19d are each designed as a zipper 19b, 19d.

In order to make the net tent 1 disassembled and transportable, the various supporting structure elements such as the two arch struts 12a, 12b, the base-side frame element 14a, the first, right-hand frame element 14b, the second, left-hand frame element 14c and the head-side frame element 14d and the cross strut 13 are segmented educated. Thus, the two arch struts 12a, 12b have a plurality of segments 12c, each of which has a segment receptacle 12d in the form of a sleeve 12d at one end. This allows the open end of a segment 12c, which has no sleeve 12d, into a corresponding sleeve 12d of another segment 12c can be inserted to connect the two segments 12c, see Fig. 14 ,

In order to simplify the assembly of the bow struts 12a, 12b, a tensioning element 12e in the form of a rubber band 12e is guided through the segments 12c. This pulls the individual segments 12c together. As a result, the segments 12c can be permanently connected to one another, so that the matching segments 12c do not have to be searched for during construction. The alignment of the open ends of the segments 12c with the sleeve 12d and the open ends of the segments 12c without the sleeve 12d is also predetermined thereby, so that the segments 12c only have to be inserted into one another. This can considerably simplify the construction of the network tent 1 for the user.

By pulling the segments 12c apart for disassembly, the tensioning element 12e is tensioned, but this enables the segments 12c to be taken apart. As a result, the aforementioned advantages can be achieved without preventing the segments 12c from being disassembled. The tensioning element 12e can be guided inside through the segments 12c and the sleeves 12d.

In order to shorten a bow strut 12a, 12b, the segment 12c of the foot-side open end of the corresponding bow strut 12a, 12b can be pulled away from the subsequent segment 12c by the user against the tensioning force of the tensioning element 12e and folded over. Then both segments 12c can be inserted together into the foot-side second receptacle 10d2 of the first, right arch strut 12a or into the foot-side second receptacle 10d5 of the second, left arch strut 12b, see Fig. 13 , The two segments 12c remain connected to one another so that the extension of the arch struts 12a, 12b can be carried out just as easily and quickly by the user.

If a U-shaped floor frame 14 is used, the first, right frame element 14b and the second, left frame element 14c can be shortened as described for the arch struts 12a, 12b, since the segment of the open end of the first, right frame element 14b or the second, left frame element 14c can be pulled off and folded down. Alternatively, the first, right frame element 14b and the second, left frame element 14c can also be made sufficiently short to be able to be used in the same length for the first length L1 and for the second length L2.

However, since the frame element 14a on the foot side has no open ends at which the length can be shortened, the corresponding clamping element 14g is arranged on the outside in order to be able to pull out a central segment 14e. If the foot-side frame element 14a is released at an open end, an outer segment of the foot-side frame element 14a can also be pulled out and folded over. You can also use the base frame element 14a, the segments 14e and segment receptacles 14f are held in the form of sleeves 14f, see Fig. 15 , Like previously described. The tensioning element 14g can preferably be implemented as a rubber band 14g. The clamping element 14g can be continuous or preferably, as in the Fig. 15 shown, be formed in individual pieces, each connecting an open end of a segment 14e to the next segment 14e. In any case, the tensioning element 14g can be fastened to the segments 14e by means of tensioning element holders 14h, such as, for example, an adhesive tape.

If an O-shaped floor frame 14 is used, this applies accordingly to all four frame elements 14a to 14d.

This type of assembly of the foot-side frame element 14a or the head-side frame element 14d can also be applied to the cross strut 13, which is therefore not additionally shown.

Instead of their sleeves 12d, the two bow struts 12a, 12b have first, right transverse strut receptacles 13a and second, left transverse strut receptacles 13b at several points, which are each designed as plug connections 13a, 13b. Alternatively, the cross strut receptacles 13a, 13b can also be arranged displaceably on the arch struts 12a, 12b. In this way, the cross strut 13 can be connected to the bow struts 12a, 12b at different locations. This can offer the user the possibility to vary the supporting structure in order to adapt it to his needs and the application. These multiple plug connections 13a, 13b can, if required, also be used to use multiple cross struts 13 in order to increase the stability of the net tent 1.

Fig. 16 shows a front view of a holding means 3 according to the invention according to a first embodiment. Fig. 17 shows a front view of a holding means 3 according to the invention according to a second embodiment.

In the first case, a holding means 3 is provided in the form of a closed belt 3, which is firmly attached with its one open end to the first, right side net 10b or its transition to the net bottom 10d, then completely encompasses the bed 2 from below and is attached with its other open end to the second, left side net 10c or its transition to the net bottom 10d. Alternatively, the holding means 3 can e.g. reach around with a loop-shaped open end around a first frame element 14b or a second frame element 14c of the bottom frame 14 and are held thereby.

Such a belt 3 can preferably be designed as a tension belt 3 elastically tensioning or tensionable by hand by tightening. This allows a reliable arrangement of the network tent 1 on the Bed 2 or on the mattress 22 during use and in particular during sleep, which can increase the comfort of use. This belt 3 is provided at least once, which may be sufficient to achieve the desired effect. The belt 3 is preferably provided at least twice and the two belts 3 are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction X. This can further increase the hold of the mesh tent 1 on the bed 2.

The belt 3 or the plurality of belts 3 extend according to the Figures 16 and 17 in the transverse direction Y around the bed 2, but can also be provided in the longitudinal direction X. However, using the short direction of extension of the transverse direction Y can save material and costs for the belt 3 and accelerate the use and dismantling of the belt 3 or the belts 3.

Like in the Fig. 17 shown, the belt 3 can also be formed in two parts and each end with a support 30 which can be inserted between the mattress 21 and the bed frame 20. At height Z, the mattress 21 and the bed frame 20 can then be clamped between them by the weight of the person lying or sleeping in such a way that the net tent 1 can also be held securely on the mattress 21 in this way.

According to the invention, a self-supporting network tent 1 can thus be created, the base area of which can be varied both in the longitudinal direction X and in the transverse direction Y. The net tent 1 can not only be adapted to different mattress sizes, but the comfort of sleeping can be increased for particularly tall people, since they can extend their feet beyond the foot-side edge of the mattress 21 without touching the net 10 of the net tent 1.
