In order to prevent the blindfold (22) from falling, a hook (23) is provided at a corner where the opened side of the blindfold (22) intersects, and a hook hook (24) is provided at an upper inside corner of the other wall surface.

Since the tent is used as described above, when the tent is used, the tent is almost double in size by simply pulling out the tent by grasping the puller (26) from the small petal-shaped bag (25). The pyramid-shaped tent roof (10) naturally rises upwards from the stretched place without support, just by pulling the corner of the tent, and the holding member taken out of the same bag is put in the tent. When the tent is expanded and inserted, and the lower end corner of the tent is held down, the connecting member at the lower end of the tent has a button (27), and the holding member is hooked on the button to stabilize the position of the bottom of the tent, thereby completing the installation of the tent. The button can be replaced with a detachable connecting means such as a fastener. This tent can be used as a toilet which can be easily installed with little operation because of the tent frame structure of the present invention, and as a dressing room having a sufficient height. When storing, the leg frame (5) folded into a predetermined shape such as a V-shape or U-shape naturally folds toward the pointed end while the tent sheet prevents the entanglement of the wire, and a small petal-shaped bag is formed. It can be stored inside, and the outside tent, which is a blindfold, can be completely stored in an attache-type portable toilet used in the tent. In particular, it is not necessary to fold the hem of the tent, and the petal-shaped bag (2

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

The maximum diameter is 1.6 in an easily available range.
Because it is a combination of stainless steel spring wires of millimeters, it is possible to make a ring for connecting pins in important places, and the spring wires support each other, so that even a thin wire compared to other tents can give strong rigidity, and It is easy to handle even for weak people such as women and elderly people because it does not require strength and is light, small and portable.

Further, since the polygonal pyramidal tent frame (6) can be made of stainless steel, it shines without painting and has high commercial value. However, general spring materials can also be used.

Further, since the leg frame (5) made of a spring wire is used as the strut at the corner of the tent, each surface of the tent can be folded without removing the connecting portion, and the leg frame is knotted with a string or the like. As shown in FIG. 8, the splinter can be naturally folded and stored in the pointed direction of the petal-shaped bag.

Further, since the tent frame structure of the present invention is employed, the tent can be easily accommodated in an attache case-type portable toilet for in-vehicle use, and can be installed in a triangular space with an automobile door opened. It is possible to provide a practical tent that is useful as an essential item for outdoor life and outdoor work, and is always mounted on a car and is useful in emergency situations such as traffic jams and disasters.

Using a triangular prism-shaped space in which the door of an automobile is opened, the tent is pulled in three directions with a suction cup on the front window, the side of the vehicle body, and the upper rear portion of the glass of the opened door. A highly reliable blindfolded space is completed.In particular, a pointed roof high enough to be used as a changing room even by tall people suddenly appears like magic, and the impact and topicality when hanging down Yes, the tent has a good appearance and its commercial value is high.

If the corners of the tent are pulled by three suction cups, the roof rises naturally, so that the work is easy for women, and it is excellent in responsiveness when a hurry occurs.

As shown in FIG. 12, FIG. 13, FIG. 15, and FIG. 16, the holding member (14) is formed by bending the elastic rod (12) into an arc shape. By inserting it into the other end to form a petal, it can be easily stored in a petal-shaped bag (25) together with the tent.

Since a person can ride on the holding member (14) and use it, there is no fear that the tent will be turned up by the wind. In addition, since the end is caught by a tall button (27), it is difficult to come off during installation, and it is safe during use.

FIG. 1 containing this tent frame structure
Since the tents shown in FIGS. 0, 11 and 14 do not have the sheet material bottom like a general tent, there is no need to worry about dirt or difficulty in washing. There is no inconvenience such as pushing out the air and folding it while holding it slowly, which is common in tents.

As shown in FIG. 6, the tent frame is folded and the end side is pushed into the pointed side of a small petal-shaped bag (25). Cover the end of the ring (28) over the circumference of the ring, and attach the fastener (3) attached to the lid (29) of the bag.
Pressing the male and female in step 0) is done, no skill is required, and even an unfamiliar person can easily handle and not be confused in storage.

Also, local governments and others recommend this equipment as disaster prevention equipment, put it in a handbag-type portable toilet and load it on each person's car. In the event of a disaster, install a tent in the car and distribute the users individually. After setting the garbage disposal bag in the portable toilet and using it, the mouth of the bag is closed and the excrement can be stored in each door, so it takes time to install without waiting, cleaning and waste disposal immediately The installation of the conventional centralized temporary toilet, which causes the problem described above, can be postponed a little, and the trouble can be devoted to the initial activities such as the lifesaving, rescue, securing of the lifeline and the like.

In addition to enlightenment of disaster prevention, it is a product that can be spread as a tough outdoor product that is convenient for personal play and prepared for an emergency.

In the event of a handicapped person, volunteers are not restricted in their plans for toilets, and a moving car can easily become a toilet at any time.

In the tents shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 14, it is possible for the tour operator to carry the tent without worrying about the overseas sightseeing spots with few toilets and to participate with ease.

In the tents shown in FIGS. 11 and 14, when a woman goes out fishing and the point of fishing is far away from the inn or car, it is convenient to bring it to a cautionary note.

In addition, it is difficult to rent a toilet for outdoor work in a residential area and the like, and the tent is used for simple construction work that is not large enough to set up a mobile toilet or for security guidance work that involves a lot of movement. It can be easily installed by installing it in the office, helping the health care of older workers who are close to using the product, and avoiding the inconvenience of frowning on standing urine.
