Definitions
- the present invention relates to a marking of tent poles to enable very quick folding and unfolding.
- Typical tent poles consist of tent pole parts, such as tent pole segments, in which a rubber strand is inserted inside and attached to the ends of the poles so that they are not separated and fall apart and when unfolding the individual pole segments snap into each other or when folded they can be taken apart and hold together, are therefore automatically sorted correctly.
- each segment In order to unfold such tent poles, each segment is typically unfolded individually starting from one end of the tent pole and inserted into the connecting coupling of the next segment. Conversely, to fold the tent poles together, you typically start at one end and pull each segment individually out of the connecting coupling and finally fold them over to form a bundle of parallel poles.
- the object of the present invention is to significantly accelerate this process.
- the tent pole is provided with a marking approximately in its middle so that it is clear where to start. This means that when folding the pole, it can first be folded in half and then two pole segments at a time be transferred at the same time. This saves at least half the time. Conversely, when unfolding, the bundle of rods can be grasped in the middle and then the bundle of rods can be unfolded by snapping at least two rod segments into the connecting couplings instead of just one. This is much quicker than if each bar part or segment had to be unfolded individually.
- central marking is, in the event that the tent pole is fully unfolded, to immediately recognize where the tent pole should be folded over without folding the other segments. This is often practiced on polar expeditions that require sleds long enough to accommodate a tent pole folded down the middle. The tent pole is only folded in the middle to save time and effort and since the connecting couplings are often frozen, only one central connecting coupling needs to be thawed.
- the marking is carried out by making the two rod segments next to each other in the middle of the tent poles different colors. The same applies to quarter, eighth, etc. markings.
- the center marking is accomplished by inserting a marking ring made of metal or plastic that stands out due to its color, structure or material between the two central rod segments in question.

Abstract
Zeltgestänge aus Einzelsegmenten oder Einzelstangen, wobei in ungefähr der Mitte der Zeltstange und je nach Zeltstangenlänge auch in ungefähr dem Viertel der Zeltstangenlänge, dem Achtel der Zeltstangenlänge u.s.w. eine sofort erkennbare Markierung besteht, so dass an der Markierung beginnend, das Zeltgestänge wesentlich schneller zusammenfaltbar oder dieses sehr rasch entfaltbar ausgeführt ist.Tent poles made of individual segments or individual poles, with approximately in the middle of the tent pole and, depending on the tent pole length, also approximately a quarter of the tent pole length, an eighth of the tent pole length, etc. There is an immediately recognizable marking, so that starting at the marking, the tent poles can be folded up much more quickly or can be unfolded very quickly.
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Markierung von Zeltgestängen um ein sehr schnelles zusammenfalten sowie Entfalten zu ermöglichen.The present invention relates to a marking of tent poles to enable very quick folding and unfolding.
Typische Zeltstangen bestehen aus Zeltstangenteilen, wie Zeltstangensegmenten, in denen inwendig eine Gummilitze eingelegt und an den Enden der Stangen befestigt ist, sodass diese nicht getrennt werden und auseinanderfallen und beim Entfalten die einzelnen Stangensegmente ineinander rasten bzw. beim Zusammenfalten diese auseinandergenommen werden können und zusammenhalten, somit auch automatisch richtig sortiert sind.Typical tent poles consist of tent pole parts, such as tent pole segments, in which a rubber strand is inserted inside and attached to the ends of the poles so that they are not separated and fall apart and when unfolding the individual pole segments snap into each other or when folded they can be taken apart and hold together, are therefore automatically sorted correctly.
Um solche Zeltstangen auseinander zu falten wird typischerweise von einem Ende der Zeltstange ausgehend jedes Segment einzeln entfaltet und in die Verbindungskupplung des nächstliegenden Segments gesteckt. Um die Zeltstangen zusammenzulegen wird umgekehrt typischerweise an einem Ende begonnen und jedes Segment einzeln aus der Verbindungskupplung herausgezogen und schlussendlich zu einem Bündel paralleler Stangen umgelegt.In order to unfold such tent poles, each segment is typically unfolded individually starting from one end of the tent pole and inserted into the connecting coupling of the next segment. Conversely, to fold the tent poles together, you typically start at one end and pull each segment individually out of the connecting coupling and finally fold them over to form a bundle of parallel poles.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, diesen Vorgang wesentlich zu beschleunigen.The object of the present invention is to significantly accelerate this process.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit den genannten Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen und Weiterentwicklungen der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Ansprüchen umfasst.This task is solved with the features mentioned in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention are included in the further claims.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Zeltstange ungefähr in ihrer Mitte mit einer Markierung versehen, damit ersichtlich ist wo zu beginnen ist. Somit kann die Stange beim Zusammenlegen zuerst in der Mitte umgefaltet werden und dann jeweils 2 Stangensegmente zugleich umgelegt werden. Hiermit spart man sich mindestens die Hälfte der Zeit. Umgekehrt kann beim Auseinanderfalten das Stangenbündel mittig angefasst werden und dann das Stangenbündel entfaltet werden, indem jeweils mindestens zwei statt nur ein Stangensegment in die Verbindungskupplungen eingerastet werden. Dies verläuft wesentlich schneller, als wenn jedes Stangenteil oder Segment einzeln entfaltet werden muss.According to the invention, the tent pole is provided with a marking approximately in its middle so that it is clear where to start. This means that when folding the pole, it can first be folded in half and then two pole segments at a time be transferred at the same time. This saves at least half the time. Conversely, when unfolding, the bundle of rods can be grasped in the middle and then the bundle of rods can be unfolded by snapping at least two rod segments into the connecting couplings instead of just one. This is much quicker than if each bar part or segment had to be unfolded individually.
Weitergehend könnte auch jeweils im Viertel, im Achtel u.s.w. der Länge der Zeltstange eine Markierung angebracht werden, um noch schneller zu sein. Da aber die Verbindungskupplungen zumeist satt sitzen, ist dies wohl nur mit etwas Übung möglich.It could go further in quarters, eighths, etc. A mark can be added to the length of the tent pole to make it even faster. However, since the connecting couplings are usually tight, this is probably only possible with a little practice.
Ein weiterer Zweck der mittigen Markierung ist, für den Fall, dass die Zeltstange voll entfaltet ist, wiederum sofort erkannt wird, wo die Zeltstange umgelegt werden soll ohne jedoch die weiteren Segmente zusammenzulegen.
Dies wird oft bei polaren Expeditionen, bei denen Schlitten gebraucht werden, die lang genug sind, um eine mittig umgelegte Zeltstange aufzunehmen, praktiziert. Die Zeltstange wird nur mittig umgelegt, um Zeit und Mühen zu sparen und da auch oft die Verbindungskupplungen eingefroren sind, somit nur eine mittige Verbindungskupplung aufgetaut werden muss.Another purpose of the central marking is, in the event that the tent pole is fully unfolded, to immediately recognize where the tent pole should be folded over without folding the other segments.
This is often practiced on polar expeditions that require sleds long enough to accommodate a tent pole folded down the middle. The tent pole is only folded in the middle to save time and effort and since the connecting couplings are often frozen, only one central connecting coupling needs to be thawed.
Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung erfolgt die Markierung, indem die beiden, in der Mitte der Zeltstangen nebeneinanderliegenden Stangesegmente andersfarbig ausgeführt sind. Dasselbe gilt für Viertel-, Achtel- etc. -Markierungen.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the marking is carried out by making the two rod segments next to each other in the middle of the tent poles different colors. The same applies to quarter, eighth, etc. markings.
Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung wird die Mittemarkierung damit bewerkstelligt, dass zwischen die beiden betreffenden mittigen Stangensegmente ein, durch Farbe, Struktur oder Material auffallender Markierungsring aus Metall oder Kunststoff eingelegt ist.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the center marking is accomplished by inserting a marking ring made of metal or plastic that stands out due to its color, structure or material between the two central rod segments in question.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand von Zeichnungen beispielhaft näher beschrieben.The invention is described in more detail below by way of example using drawings.
Weitere Möglichkeiten der Markierung sind die Nutzung von Klebeband, Lasergravierung, Schrumpfschlauch, Strukturierung, permanenter Farbstoff, Schnappring, nichtauftragende Bride, selbst schweißendes Klebeband, Drahtwicklung, festanliegender O-Ring oder erklärende Beschriftung.
