Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an outdoor tent which is constructed such that a vent hole formed in an awning thereof is blocked with a cover at a normal time by engaging a cover covering the outer surface of the vent hole with the awning by means of hook-and-loop fasteners or the like exerting an intermediate fixing force, and that the vent hole is opened by automatically canceling the engagement by wind pressure when a wind gust or strong wind blows into the tent, to thereby prevent the awning from being blown off by a wind gust or strong wind. <P>SOLUTION: In the outdoor tent of a periphery open type, having an awning roof at the apex thereof, the single or the plurality of vent holes each having a single or a plurality of holes arranged adjacently thereto, is arranged in the awning roof in the vicinity of the apex, and the single sheet cover which covers all the holes forming the vent hole, is arranged on the outer surface of each vent hole, by fixing the upper end of the cover to the awning at a location astride a beam at the apex of the tent, and engaging the other end of the cover with an awning edge adjacent to the vent hole by an engaging means formed of small pieces of the hook-and-loop fasteners, which exerts the intermediate fixing force. Thus when a wind gust or strong wind is imposed on the tent, the cover is automatically opened, to thereby prevent the awning from being blown off. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】上部に天幕屋根を有する外周開放形の野外テントにおいて、突風や強風時に天幕が吹き飛ばされないようにする通風構造に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】上部に天幕屋根を有する外周開放形の野外テントでは、テント使用中に突風や強風が吹き込むとテントが吹き飛ばされたり、浮き上がったりすることがあり、時には人に危害を与える虞さえある。したがって、テントに突風や強風が吹き込んだ時の通風構造については、これまでにもいくつかの発明や考案がなされている。そのいずれもが天幕の一部に複数の通風口を設けるとともにその通風口からの雨水の浸入を防ぐための蓋を備えたものであるが、その構造、機能によって２つのタイプが見られる。
【０００３】
その１つは、特開平１０−３７５３４「テント」や特開平６−６６０５３「風孔を設けたテント」、あるいは実用新案登録第３０１９７３７号「含み風の逃がし口を設けたシート及びテント」に見られるように、風圧によって前記蓋を持ち上げるもので、常時は蓋の重さで天幕に接合している構造のものである。
しかしこのタイプのテントは、天幕を折り畳んで収納する際、蓋の端縁一部めくり上がって天幕から離れ、折り畳み作業がしにくくなる場合がある。したがって前記発明の一部には蓋の下端を紐によって天幕に係止したものも見られるが、紐の長さによっては蓋の開口が制限される難点がある。
【０００４】
もう１つは、特開平６−４５００２「テント」に見られるように、晴天時には蓋を開放しておき、雨天時には蓋を閉じて使用するタイプのものである。蓋の解放時、及び閉鎖時に蓋を天幕に係止する機構が備わっているので、天幕の収納時に蓋が天幕から離れて作業がしにくくなるという虞はないが、雨天使用時に突風又は強風が吹き込むと、風抜き機構としての通風口の役割が果たせないという問題点がある。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとしている課題】上記従来の技術に鑑み、常時は天幕に設けた通風口が、その外面部を覆う蓋と天幕とが面ファスナー等で中程度の固定力で係止されて塞がれ、突風又は強風がテント内に吹き込んだときその風圧によってこの係止が自動的に解除され通風口が開き、突風又は強風でも天幕が吹き飛ばされない野外テントを提供する。
【０００６】

【００１４】
（実施例３）
図４（ａ）に示す実施例は、実施例１に示した構成の天幕において、天幕１の屋根１ａの天頂部付近に配設され通風口２を形成する複数の穴２ａの形状を実施例１で示した長方形の穴２ａ_１と形状を異にしたものである。
本実施例では、天幕１の屋根１ａの天頂部付近に、複数の三角形及び菱形の穴２ａ_２を上下左右に隣接して配設して通風口２を構成し、該通風口２の外面部に前記穴２ａ_２のすべてを覆う長方形の１枚のシート状の蓋３が設けられ、前記蓋３は、その上端縁がテントの天頂部の梁に掛かる部分で天幕屋根１ａに逢着、糊付け等で固着されており（固着部４）、また他の３つの端縁は、天幕屋根１ａと蓋３との相重なる部分の複数箇所に固着された面ファスナーの小片５によって中程度の固定力によって天幕屋根１ａに係止されている。
互いに隣接する複数の穴２ａ_２の間に残された天幕屋根１ａの斜め格子状の部分の幅及び本数は、天幕１の強度を維持できる程度でよく、通風口２の面積を可能な限り大きくとることが望ましい。また三角形及び菱形の穴２ａ_２がすべて同一面積である必要はなく、突風又は強風が吹き込んだ際に面ファスナー小片５の係止が迅速に解除できるよう、天幕屋根１ａに配設する穴２ａ_２の面積を上方より下方の方を大きくするなど、通風効果を高める形状、寸法を採るのも好ましい。
なお、前記穴２ａの形状は、実施例１に示した長方形の穴２ａ_１、及び図４（ａ）に示した三角形または菱形の穴２ａ_２に限られるものではなく、図４（ｂ）に示す円形の穴２ａ_３のほか、楕円形、多角形など天幕１の形状が維持でき、かつ通風口２の面積が可能な限り大きくなる形状であればよい。またこの場合もすべての穴が同一面積である必要もない。

【発明の効果】本発明によって次のような効果が発揮される。
▲１▼　テント内に突風や強風が吹き込んだとき、天幕屋根の天頂付近に隣接配設した１又は複数の穴からなる通風口、及び垂直壁状側面に設けた通風口の外面部を覆う蓋が自動的に開口することにより、突風又は強風によるテントの倒壊や浮き上がりが防止でき、これに伴う人への危害の虞が減少する。
▲２▼　天幕の垂直壁状側面が２枚のシートで構成され、かつ両シートの相接する垂直辺が、一方のシートから突出したシート片に面ファスナー等中程度の固定力を発現する係止手段で係止されていることにより、テント内に突風又は強風が吹き込んだとき垂直壁面状側面が開放され、突風又は強風によるテントの倒壊や浮き上がりが防止でき、これに伴う人への危害の虞が減少する。
▲３▼　天幕と通風口蓋が面ファスナー等で緩やかに係止されており、突風又は強風による風圧でこの面ファスナー等による係止が解除され、風圧が消滅すると通風口の蓋が自重又は蓋の下部両端に備えたゴムひもの弾性によって元に戻り、面ファスナー等により天幕と通風口を覆う蓋とが再度係止されるので、雨天時の突風又は強風にも対応できる。
▲４▼　通風口の蓋の左右端縁が、折りひだによって伸縮自在に構成されてなる防水シートを介して天幕に固着されているので、通風口開口時に通風口左右端からの雨水の流入が防止できる。
▲５▼　天幕と通風口を覆う蓋が面ファスナー等で係止されているので、テント使用後の折り畳み収納作業が円滑に行える。
▲６▼　複数の穴と穴の間に残された天幕部分の張力が、天幕の形状を維持するので、通風口付近の天幕が垂れ下がるなどといった不都合が生ぜず、かつ通風口外面部に設けた蓋の天幕内への陥入も防止できる。
▲７▼　従来の野外テントの天幕のみの改造によって、本発明の野外テントが容易に実現できる。
