Abstract

The invention relates to a device making it possible to make rapid attachments by means of ropes. One of them consists of rope 6 with a simple knot at the end passing through a washer 7 and a flat element 8 with a notch and double perforation on the other side. By folding over the loop 9 between the two perforations of the flat element 8, it is made to pass on the other side of the end knot at 10, thus blocking this loop. The devices according to the invention are particularly intended for erecting camping tents, poles of big tops (circus tents), etc.

Description

 The present invention relates to a device for making quick, adjustable and lockable attachments for camping tents (Canadian or bubble), for large shelters, tent masts, anti-theft belts to keep your money and papers with you when traveling.

For Canadian tents traditionally two vertical masts, dangerous in stormy weather, supported the tent canvas by barring
At the entrance to this one while the rear part of the canvas had several sharp angles around the central rear mast at the soZ, ropes with each tensioner often disrupted formed a guy line for fixing between the stakes on the SoZ and their mastheads .For much larger masts we used all kinds of lattice beams with wooden assembly (perforated bamboo) or metal by welding or bolting often difficult to make yourself. let the perforated bamboo tear easily which reduces its use while your metal masts require a whole implementation.

 The device according to the invention avoids these drawbacks.

For the Canadian tent, the trestle-shaped frame with adjustable spacing is held at the front and rear by a lockable tensioner without the possibility of slipping. The entry of the tent is facilitated while the cutting of the canvas at the back is simplified. The rectangular floor space is fully available. The trestle-shaped frame is less dangerous in the face of lightning. The guying around the tent is much better ensured. For taller masts you can use a choice of three types of beam: in mdtat, in wood, or half metal half wood, assembled using one of these quick couplers.

 According to a preferred embodiment, the Canadian tent with a trestle-shaped frame is assembled by rope with a simple stop knot and adjustable quick coupler between each of the two feet.

 If Ion a variant we can make a tent in crossed hoop by means of 2 flattened tubes in their middle crossed bolted on which we thread flexible tubes or bamboo with belt forming quick coupler halfway up the tent and at the feet.

 For much larger shelters, three types of lattice beam forming a guyed mast are used as before and assembled using these quick couplers.

Figure 1 shows the frame of the Canadian tent from the front and side.

FIG. 5 represents the views of the assembly detail of a rigid mast.

Figure 6 shows the 3 views of the assembly detail of a flexible mast.

Figure 7 shows the 3 views of the assembly detail of an ultra rigid mast.

 The device represented in FIG. 1 comprises a Canadian tent frame in the shape of a trestle composed of a ridge (1) and four feet (2) assembled two by two by rope (3) with a simple knot of stop at the ends at through both ridge 1 and a perforated threaded rod (4) for tension adjustment by the wheel (5). The spacing between the feet (2) is limited by a quick coupling described in fig. (2) and forming a foolproof tensioner or belt. This is made of a rope t6) with a simple stop knot at each end passing through a washer 7 on one side and on the other through a tensioning plate 8 with double perforation with notch .

The loop 9 thus formed between the two perforations on the pZat 8 can be folded down into the notch and on the other side of the end knot on the plate 8. This loop is then locked at 10 and forms a belt when 'on @ makes him join the washer 7 and on the other side of the end knot on the flat (B).

 Figure (3) shows the keystone (11) of a tent in the shape of a half bubble. This keystone is made of two flattened tubes in the middle and bolted, welded used to anchor flexible tubes bent by quick coupler 6 to 10.

 Figure (4) shows a schematic mast (12) guyed by quick coupler (6 to 10) on stake on the ground.

 Figures 5 show the details of assembly of a rigid mast formed of four rafters (13) assembled by cross-planks (I4) by means of axis (15) joining them. Upper and lower tubes (16) are fixed against these rafters (13) by means of quick couplers 6 to 10 or slings (17) crossed and bolted to the ends of the crosspieces (14). At the ends of the mast, the crosspieces (14) are replaced by solid panels (18). In section A-A spacers. 13 A counter-pierced with chevron ends (13) for axes (15) allow assemblies of great length. The different crosspieces (13) can receive several axes (15) and several slings (17) depending on the load.

 Ek figure -6 on a mounting similar to the previous figure the rafters (13) are replaced by continuous slats (19) with sawtooth ends for gluing. The assembly of the sleepers and slats (19) and tubes or bamboo (16) is done here only by means of cross slings (17) or fastener (6-10) with threaded hooks (20) or fastener 6-IO for various attachments When necessary.

 In FIG. 7, here is a very rigid simplified assembly because the tubes (21) are provided with internal fins and external stops (22): csZZes-these serving as blocking for the slings 23 or 6-IO fasteners fixed on the ends cross members in rectangular tubes 24 or in round tubes with internal fins (25). For each knot of assembly a single sling can suffice through one of the crosspieces, it is fixed by bolt and nut on the other trauerse by crossing around the tubes, slats and rafter which it belts. This single sling can be replaced by a rope (2 @) with a simple stop knot at one end and a stop pin (27) through this rope at the other end.
