Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of tents for camping or any outdoor activity. It relates more particularly to the problem of ventilation of such tents.
  • tents There are currently several types of tents, such as “igloo” tents, which are erected by the user using metal or inflatable poles. There are also so-called “pop-up” tents, which are self-deploying in that they expand by automatically deploying the frame.
  • the document FR2886961 offers a tent equipped with a ventilation system that can be operated from inside the tent, which includes a flap associated with a flexible loop on the frame.
  • the ventilation system is equipped with a tie connected to the flap and which extends inside the tent. The user must pull on the tie to bend the flexible element and close the flap.
  • a disadvantage of this earlier tent is that the flap must be associated with a flexible element of the tent to allow the flap to open automatically.
  • This arrangement is therefore specific to the structure of the tent which must necessarily include loops and in particular a flexible upper loop connected to the flap.
  • KR20180013670 describes a tent with a ventilation flap that is operated from outside the tent using two rods pivotally mounted on the outer face of the tent fabric.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a tent provided with a ventilation flap which does not require a flexible element of the frame to allow it to be opened.
  • the flap is in the closed position when the actuating element is in the closing position, while the flap is in the ventilation position when the actuating element is in the opening position.
  • the tent according to the invention therefore does not require a flexible element of the frame to allow it to be opened. Furthermore, the opening and closing of the flap can be carried out using only one hand.
  • the shutter is partially open when the actuating element is between the closed position and the open position.
  • the rod can be straight or curved. It is also rigid.
  • the rod pulls the flap towards the tent canvas when the actuating element is brought to its closed position. Conversely, the rod pushes the flap away from the canvas tent when the actuating element is brought to its open position.
  • the shutter When the shutter is in the closed position, it covers the vent opening. Conversely, when the shutter is in the venting position, it is moved away from the vent opening to allow air to flow through the vent opening.
  • the actuating element is arranged inside the tent in order to allow the user to operate the flap from inside the tent.
  • the actuating element is preferably located inside the tent canvas.
  • the actuating device according to the invention does not require a flexible element, such as a frame loop, to allow the shutter to open, which makes it possible to equip the actuating device on any type of tent.
  • the actuating element cooperates with the tent canvas.
  • One advantage is to make the actuating device easy for the user to access.
  • Another advantage is that the actuating device remains connected to the tent canvas, even when it is folded.
  • At least part of the actuating element is integrated into the tent canvas, which contributes to its compactness.
  • the rod is preferably connected in an articulated manner to the actuating element, and also in an articulated manner to the shutter.
  • the actuating element is a slider of a zipper.
  • the zipper is preferably integrated into the tent canvas.
  • the slider may be single or double.
  • the zipper may also be of the non-opening type so that it remains closed when the slider is moved between its closed and open position.
  • Such non-opening zippers are known elsewhere, for example for adjusting the length of ski pants.
  • the rod is connected to the slider. More preferably, the slider is fixed to a first end of the rod, while the second end of the rod, opposite the first end, is fixed to the shutter, whereby moving the cursor causes the rod and therefore the shutter to move.
  • the actuating element is arranged below the ventilation opening.
  • the latter is preferably arranged below the ventilation opening, being integrated into the tent canvas.
  • the direction of movement of the actuating element is substantially horizontal.
  • substantially horizontal we mean a direction making an angle of plus or minus 20° relative to the horizontal.
  • the direction of movement could be substantially vertical.
  • the rod connects the actuating element to a lower end portion of the shutter.
  • the shutter comprises a stiffening element, for example a hoop or any other type of stiffening element by which the shutter retains a substantially flat shape when it is in the ventilation and closing position.
  • a stiffening element for example a hoop or any other type of stiffening element by which the shutter retains a substantially flat shape when it is in the ventilation and closing position.
  • the flap comprises an upper part which is connected to the tent canvas along a connecting line, the upper part being arranged above the ventilation opening.
  • the upper part of the flap is sewn to the tent canvas.
  • the flap could form a single piece with the tent canvas.
  • the movement of the flap, and where applicable of the stiffening element, relative to the tent canvas is a rotational movement around an axis passing through the connecting line between the flap and the tent canvas.
  • the actuating device further comprises a holding device to keep the shutter in the closed position.
  • a holding device to keep the shutter in the closed position.
  • the holding device comprises a cord which connects the actuating element to the shutter, and a return element arranged in the tent and cooperating with the cord so that the cord holds the shutter in the closed position when the actuating element is in the closed position.
  • the tent is a self-deploying tent provided with an interior chamber arranged under the tent canvas, the frame being self-deploying and cooperating with the interior chamber.
  • the actuating element is located between the inner chamber and the tent fabric.
  • the inner chamber preferably has an opening for accessing said space, and allowing the user to access the actuating element from the inner chamber. The user can thus operate the flap while being in the inner chamber.
  • the return element is, for example, a ring through which the cord passes.
  • the return element cooperates with the inner chamber.
  • the return element is located between the open and closed positions.
  • the return element is closer to the open position than to the closed position.
  • the tent 10 is a self-deploying tent.
  • the tent according to the invention could be of a type other than a self-deploying tent, for example a tent which is erected manually by the user, for example a tent with metal poles or an inflatable frame.
  • the tent 10 comprises a frame 11 which, in this example, is provided with loops consisting of flexible hoops 12, 14 which are arranged, in a manner known elsewhere, to geometrically form a base loop 16 and an upper loop 18 in the shape of a horse saddle.
  • the frame is self-deploying.
  • the base loop 16 is intended to come into contact with the ground S, while the upper loop 18 defines the interior volume of the tent.
  • the tent 10 can therefore have a deployed position, illustrated in Figure 1 , and a disc-shaped folded position. This type of self-deploying tent is known elsewhere, and the operating principle will not be described here.
  • the tent 10 further comprises a tent canvas 20 which cooperates with the frame 11.
  • the frame 11 supports the tent canvas 20, so that the deployment of the frame has the effect of creating volume and tension in the tent canvas 20.
  • the tent further comprises an interior chamber 22 which is arranged inside the tent canvas, the interior chamber 22 cooperating with the frame 11, for example by means of spacing means known elsewhere.
  • the tent 20 comprises several canvas walls, and in particular a front wall 26 in which a door opening 28 is provided.
  • a tent 20 further comprises a central wall 30 in the shape of a horse saddle which is arranged between the hoops 12 and 14.
  • the central wall 30 comprises a ventilation opening 32 which is located on a lateral edge of the tent.
  • the tent 10 also comprises a flap 34 which is connected to the tent canvas 20, and more precisely in this example to the central portion 30.
  • the flap 34 has an upper part 34 connected to the tent canvas.
  • the upper part 34 a is arranged above the ventilation opening.
  • the flap 34 further comprises a lower end part 34 b, opposite the upper part 34 a, which is directed towards the ground S.
  • the flap is sewn to the central portion 30 along a connecting line 35.
  • the flap is made from the same material as the tent canvas.
  • the flap 34 comprises a stiffening element 36 which is in the form of a hoop 38.
  • the hoop 38 is movable relative to the frame 11 of the tent.
  • the arch 38 which has a “U” shape, delimits the flap 34.
  • the flap 34 has a surface area which is greater than the surface area of the ventilation opening 32 so as to cover it.
  • the flap 34 is movable between a ventilation position, illustrated in Figure 1 , and a closed position in which the shutter covers the ventilation opening 32.
  • a ventilation position illustrated in Figure 1
  • a closed position in which the shutter covers the ventilation opening 32.
  • the tent 10 further comprises an actuating device 50 for moving the flap 34 between the ventilation position and the closed position.
  • the actuating device 50 comprises an actuating element movable in a substantially horizontal direction of movement between an open position illustrated in Figure 2 , and a closing position, illustrated in Figure 4
  • the actuating element is located inside the tent to allow the user to operate the flap from inside the tent.
  • the actuating element is in the space between the inner chamber and the tent fabric.
  • the inner chamber may have an opening to allow the user to reach from the inner chamber to access the actuating element.
  • the actuating element cooperates with the tent canvas. It comprises a slider 54 of a zipper 56 which is integrated into the tent canvas 20. It can also be seen that the zipper 56 is integrated into the portion 30 of the tent canvas. tent 20. In this example, the zipper is of the non-opening type, i.e. it does not open when the slider is moved.
  • the slider 54 is connected to a small cord that extends inside the tent, in the space between the inner chamber and the tent fabric.
  • the actuating element 52 as well as the slider 54 and the zipper 56, are arranged below the ventilation opening 32.
  • the first end portion 56a of the zipper 56 where the slider 54 is located when the actuating element is in the closed position, is slightly curved, so as to help maintain the slider in the closed position.
  • the actuating device 50 further comprises a rod 60, visible on the figures 1, 2 And 3 which connects the actuating element 52, in this example the slider 54, to the flap 34.
  • the rod is rectilinear. It is understood that the rod 60 has a first end 60 a which is connected in an articulated manner to the slider 54, and a second end 60 b, opposite the first end 60 a, which is connected in an articulated manner to the flap 34.
  • the rod 60 connects the actuating element 52 to the lower end portion 34b of the shutter.
  • the rod 60 is made of plastic or metal.
  • the second end 60b of the rod 60 is connected to the stiffening element 36.
  • the rod 60 in the open position of the actuating element, is arranged so as to be inclined relative to the tent canvas by an angle ⁇ 0 which is of the order of 60° in this example.
  • the rod 60 In the intermediate position of the actuating element 52 illustrated in Figure 3 , in which the slider 54 is between the open and closed position, it is noted that the rod 60 forms an angle ⁇ 1 with respect to the tent canvas which is less than the angle ⁇ 0 , which has the effect that the second end 60 B of the rod is closer to the tent canvas than in the open position. It is therefore understood that the movement of the actuating element 52 between the open and closed position makes it possible to vary the distance d between the lower end part of the arch and the tent canvas, which has the effect of opening/closing the shutter.
  • the actuating element is illustrated in the closed position, the rod 60 being shown in dotted lines. It is understood that the distance d between the lower end part of the arch 60 and the tent canvas is minimal, the angle ⁇ also being minimal. It is understood on the figures 2 to 4 , that the distance between the first end 56 a of the zipper and the second end 60 b of the rod is greater than the distance between the second end 56 b of the zipper, corresponding to the opening position, and the second end 60 b of the rod 60.
  • the actuating device 50 further comprises a holding device 70 for holding the shutter in the closed position.
  • the holding device 70 comprises a cord 72 which connects the actuating element 52 to the shutter 34.
  • the holding device 70 further comprises a return element 74 which is arranged in the tent and which cooperates with the cord.
  • the return element 74 comprises a ring 76 which is fixed to the inner chamber 22 by means of a fixing member 78. It is understood that the cord 72 passes through the ring 76.
  • the tent canvas 20 also has a secondary opening 21, arranged below the zipper 56 and that the strand of the cord 72 located between the ring and the flap passes through the tent canvas 20 through this secondary opening 21.
