By increasing or decreasing the number of structures, it is possible to accommodate stored items of various sizes. Further, the storage management of the tent is only required to store the beam unit and the cover which compose the basic structure, and it is not necessary to manage many kinds of tents as in the conventional case, so that the maintenance management can be simplified.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The basic structure of a tent according to the present invention is that two beam units, each of which has an air beam as a main component, are arranged in parallel, and a belt-shaped cover is detachably attached between the two beam units. It is configured by inserting.

The air beam, which is the main component of the beam unit, is formed of a non-breathable curtain material as a tubular bag and has a foldable structure. An air inlet valve is attached to one end of the tubular bag body, and by supplying compressed air from the air inlet valve with a blower or the like, an arc-shaped or gate-shaped three-dimensional structure is formed.
The non-breathable curtain material is formed by coating a synthetic fiber woven fabric or a natural fiber woven fabric with rubber or a soft resin.

The beam unit may be composed of only air beams, but preferably at least two, more preferably 2 to 5 air beams are arranged in parallel at intervals, and a roof is provided between these air beams. The one joined with a curtain is good. The roof curtain is preferably made of a non-breathable curtain material similar to the air beam.

The cover curtain which is detachably inserted between the two beam units is made of a non-breathable curtain material similar to the roof curtain. It is preferable that the beam unit is formed in a band shape having a width slightly larger than the distance between the two beam units, and its edge portion overlaps the edge portion of the beam unit.

The method of removably attaching the cover curtain between the beam units is not particularly limited. However, preferably, the guide ropes are integrally attached to both edge portions of the belt-like cover, while the edge portion on the beam unit side is provided with a constant or irregular interval along the longitudinal direction on the inner surface side. It is preferable to attach a plurality of guide rollers and attach a cover to these guide rollers using the above-mentioned guide rope. The guide rollers used here are two left and right half-divided rollers that are divided by a plane that is orthogonal to the direction of the rotation axis. It is better that it can be inserted through the gap.

As described above, when the guide ropes for the curtain are sequentially inserted through the plurality of guide rollers attached to the beam unit side so as to extend from one end of the beam unit to the other end, the edge portion of the strip-shaped curtain ( Ie guide rope)
Can be suspended on the edge of the beam unit via a plurality of guide rollers. At this time, the edge of the cover curtain passes through the gap between the two half rollers and is suspended in the same state as the edge of the beam unit on the opposite side. In this way, the edge of the cover and the edge of the beam unit overlap each other, but since a slight slit-like gap is formed between them, this gap acts as a ventilation hole. To do.

The detachable connecting method between the beam unit and the cover is not limited to the engagement between the guide roller and the guide rope as described above. For example, they may be connected using a surface fastener, a zipper, a hook, or the like.

A description will be given below with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a development view illustrating the arrangement of parts before assembling the dome type tent of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a state during assembly. Further, FIG. 5 shows the dome type tent after the assembly is completed.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a beam unit, 2 is a belt-shaped cover curtain, and 3 is a gable curtain. Each beam unit 1 is configured such that two air beams 11, 11 are arranged in parallel and a belt-shaped roof curtain 12 is joined between them.

The tent has a basic structure 10 in which the cover 2 is detachably connected between the left and right beam units 1 and 1 (FIG. 5). In particular, in the illustrated example, four sets of the beam unit 1 and three sets of the cover 2 are arranged, and the three basic structures 10 are included due to the alternating arrangement relationship, and the basic structures 10 adjacent to each other, The beam units 1 are shared among the 10 units. Further, the beam units 1, 1 are always located at the outermost end of the array, and the curtain 3 is detachably attached to the outer side of the beam units by fasteners or the like.

When constructing the dome type tent shown in the figure, first, as shown in FIG. 1, the rope 20 is unfolded at the construction site, and small piles are driven into the four corners to fix it. Four sets of beam units 1 are arranged in parallel at regular intervals along the long side direction of the starting rope 20. Further, leg seats 4 are arranged at the ends of each air beam 11, and the curtain 3 is joined to the outer side surface of the beam unit 1 arranged at the outermost end by a fastener.

The beam unit 1 may be a pre-assembled one, but a total of eight air beams 11 are arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval at this construction site, and two air beams 11 each are arranged from the outer end. The roof curtain 12 may be joined to the air beams 11, 11 with a fastener.

Next, the ends of each air beam 11 are fixed to the leg seats 4, and the air beams 11 are sequentially filled with compressed air by a blower in units of two to form an arch-shaped three-dimensional structure. Further, the air beams 11 are connected to each other by a tightening rope 21 to stabilize the four sets of beam units 1 so as to maintain an equal interval between them.

Next, the cover 2 arranged at the opening end between the adjacent beam units 1 and 1 is connected between the beam units 1 and 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the cover 2 is in a small folded state, and the guide ropes 5 and 5 are integrally attached to both edges along the longitudinal direction. It has been extended from the department. On the other hand, the edge portion of the beam unit 1 (specifically, the air beam 1
A plurality of guide rollers 6 are attached to the inner surface (1) at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the inner surface.

As shown in FIG. 4, the guide roller 6 includes two left and right half-split rollers 6a on a plane orthogonal to the axial direction.
6a, and the half rollers 6a, 6a are
Each of them is rotatably supported by a shaft 8, 8 fixed to a support bracket 7. The guide roller 6 is swingably attached to the inner surface of the edge of the beam unit 1 (air beam 11) via a connecting ring 9.

Therefore, when the guide ropes 5 and 5 connected to both edges of the cover 2 are sequentially inserted into the guide rollers 6 at the edges of the beam units 1 on the left and right sides, respectively, the cover 2 becomes two. While passing through the gap between the half rollers 6a, 6a (FIG. 4), the opening (gap) between the beam units 1, 1
Go over. Finally, as shown in FIG. 5, the cover 2 covers the entire openings of the beam units 1 and 1,
Assembly is complete. In FIG. 5, 22 is a locking rope,
It acts to stabilize the dome-shaped tent after construction.

The above-mentioned dome type tent of the present invention is constructed on the basis of the basic structure 10 in which the strip-shaped cover 2 is detachably inserted between the two beam units 1 and 1. Therefore, by simply increasing or decreasing the number of the basic structures 10, it is possible to accommodate various sizes of stored items.

That is, in the above-mentioned embodiment, four sets of beam units 1 and three sets of cover curtains 2 are arranged to form three basic structures 10, but two types of beam units 1 are used. If the required number of cover curtains 2 are prepared, it is possible to form a tent having another different storage space. For example, if the number of sets of the beam unit 1 and the cover 2 is selected according to the size of the vehicle or helicopter to be housed, the size of only one basic structure 10 as shown in FIG. , As shown in FIG. 6 (B), the size is made up of two basic structures 10,
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6C, the size can be made up of four basic structures 10.
