Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a large tent frame (Big Tent Frame) that improves the frame structure of a one-touch automatic tent so that it can be easily handled and used. The upper frame forms a roof structure using the structure of an automatic folding tent pole, and the lower frame has a plurality of short bars with a short length extending vertically. A combination type large tent frame is formed by connecting the upper frame and the lower frame with a separate connector.

In the field of tents, one-touch automatic tents that can be easily folded and unfolded are known.

A one-touch automatic tent has a tent structure in which the frame can be folded and unfolded to a minimum volume like an automatic umbrella, and is used in automatic folding dome tents.

A one-touch dome tent is widely used as a frame of a small (for one person) dome tent because it can be easily folded and unfolded like an ordinary automatic umbrella.

Prior art documents related to one-touch dome tents include Utility Model Publication No. 20-1991-0004568 (Korea) and Utility Model Publication No. 20-1997-0002473 (Korea) of the present applicant.

The prior art has a structure in which folding poles radially connected to the center head are applied, so the tent frame can be easily folded and unfolded. Or there was a problem that it was only used for a small dome tent used by two people.

However, in recent years, the size of tents has been increasing due to the trend of favoring family-based camping, and the standard of tents has changed from small to large. In particular, car-stay camping and auto-camping, in which a large tent is connected to a car, are popular.

During auto-camping and car-stay camping, a large living room-type tent is used in which many families stay together and have both activities and sleeping and eating inside the tent. Auto-camping tents tend to change from mere beds (accommodation) to large-sized living room-type spaces where activities can be freely carried out inside the tents. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a large-sized tent that can utilize the unfolding (expanding) flat area of the one-touch tent as it is, while securing a wide space in which a person can stand up and perform activities without inconvenience.

However, there are many problems to be overcome in order to apply the known small one-touch type dome tent frame structure to a large tent.

In other words, in order to apply the frame structure of a conventional small tent to a large tent that can accommodate at least five people, the length of the poles must be extended, and the poles of the small tent must be long. Assuming that the number of segments is about 2, the large tent satisfies the conditions of an automatically folding large tent by extending the number of segments of the poles to 5 or more and greatly extending the length of the poles. be able to.

Extending the length of the poles will increase the flat surface area of the tent, making it possible to increase the size of the tent. I have a weakness that I can't stand.

In addition, it is physically difficult to unfold and fold a large tent, especially when folding a folding frame with a large number of segments, the poles are not tightly attached to each other, creating a space that makes it difficult to fold. As the volume of the tent is large and the weight is heavy, it is difficult for one person to dispose of the tent, and it is very inconvenient to pack, transport, and carry.

In addition, the frame (pole folded into a W shape) and the sheet (tent), which have increased in volume due to the increase in the number of segments, are folded and rolled together and forced into the receiving bag. There may be scratches on the surface or the receiving bag may be damaged.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to improve the frame structure of a one-touch automatic tent and realize a large tent frame that is easy to handle and use.

Another object of the present invention is to divide the frame of the tent into an upper frame used as a roof and a lower frame used as a support, and the upper frame of the tent is composed of automatic folding poles like an automatic umbrella. The lower frame is formed with a manually assembled support structure in which a plurality of short bars are vertically fitted to facilitate disassembly and assembly, and an automatic folding type An upper frame and a manually assembled lower frame are integrally connected using an intermediate connector to form a combination tent frame, so that even if the flat area of the one-touch tent is expanded, the folded volume is small. Therefore, it is characterized by providing a pole for a combination type tent which is easy to handle such as transportation and storage and facilitates activities inside the tent.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an upper frame in which a plurality of automatically folding poles are radially installed on a center head; a connector connected and assembled to the lower end of each of the poles; It is characterized by being a combination-type large-sized tent frame formed by combining a manually assembled lower frame which is fitted and connected to the lower end and which is composed of a plurality of segmented struts.

A segmental support is fitted into a lower hole of a connector connected to the lower end of the upper frame and connected, and then a plurality of segmental supports are connected to the lower end to assemble the lower frame.

An awning is assembled on the assembled upper and lower frames, and a sleeve or connecting ring attached to each connecting portion is hung on the corresponding frame to assemble the completed tent.

A hinge is formed at the pole member joint of each pole of the upper frame so that it can be extended or folded into a W shape.

When folding the tent, the posts of a plurality of segments constituting the lower frame are separated and dismantled one by one, and the upper frame is elastically folded by pressing the hinges of the one-touch folding poles. Since the lower frame separated from the fittings is separated into a plurality of segments, the folded volume is also small. The dismantled upper and lower frames are put together in a bag or put in separate bags for transportation and storage.

According to the present invention, by forming the one-touch type upper frame as the roof structure, the roof structure in which the lower structure is dismantled can be quickly and easily assembled or folded, and the lower frame is a fitting type. Since it is a multi-stage manually connected assembly assembled in a single stage, it can be easily assembled and disassembled, and by configuring the frame of such an automatic roof structure/manual strut structure, the tent can be easily built into a large size. It has the effect of being able to

In addition, the lower frame, which is composed of a plurality of segmented short bars connected by fitting, can have a sturdy lower body function, and the length can be easily adjusted, so the size of the one-touch tent with a firm lower body is increased. can be effectively used for

The separated one-touch folding upper frame and lower frame can be dismantled and managed individually or stored together. Easy to set up and take down even if the tent has a large flat area.

FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the combination-type large tent frame according to the present invention, and is a state view in which the roof structure and the lower struts are separated and dismantled. FIG. 2 is a front view of a large-sized tent assembled integrally by connecting an upper automatically folding roof structure and a lower strut connecting a plurality of segmented segmental struts with connectors. FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a large combi-type tent using a structurally improved frame;

Hereinafter, the technical structure and embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings created based on a preferred embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention comprises a frame of a large tent, comprising an upper frame 10 with a self-folding structure forming the roof of the tent, a lower frame 20 forming the multi-stage collapsible columns of the tent; It is characterized by having a structure of a combination type frame dedicated to a large tent, consisting of a connector 30 that is connected between these upper and lower structures to connect these upper and lower frames 10 and 20 together. do.

The upper frame 10 is used as the roof structure of the large tent in the present invention.

A center head 1 having a circular body is installed at the center of the upper part of the roof structure, and poles 2 can be easily folded and unfolded in a plurality of pole connection grooves formed in four directions around it. Linked. A hinge 3 is installed at the joint of the poles 2 so that the poles can be easily folded in a zigzag shape (W shape).

The plurality of poles 2 connected to the four sides of the center head 1 are formed by connecting a plurality of pole members 2a and 2b whose lengths are equally divided, and the free end 4 of each pole 2 will be described later. It fits into the upper hole of connector 30 .

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper frame 10 of the present invention is used as a roof structure of a large tent, but without pillars (struts) that firmly support the roof from below.

Therefore, the lower frame 20 is connected and installed so as to function as a column (strut) that firmly supports the bottom of the roof structure.

The lower frame 20 is a combination of segmental struts 21 that divide the entire length of the strut A into equal parts. A plug 22 is formed, and a hole 23 into which the plug 22 is inserted is formed at the lower end, and is connected and assembled in a fitting (male-female) manner.

The long struts A connected by the mating connection structure must be rigid without bending. For this purpose, the column A of the lower frame 20 is made of a tube that is thicker than the column 2 of the upper frame 10 so as to function as a strong column supporting the entire load of the large tent.

If necessary, an elastic pin having a function as a stopper may be installed at the connecting portion of each segmental strut 21 to fix the connected state of both tubes so that they are not separated arbitrarily.

As described above, the upper frame 10 functioning as a roof of a large tent and the lower frame 20 functioning as a pillar are integrally connected by a separate connector 30, and when the tent is dismantled, they can be combined. The upper, middle and lower structures are separately separated structures.

The connector 30 has connection holes 31 and 32 formed at its upper and lower portions like a socket tube. A plug 22 at the upper end is inserted and coupled.

Since the poles 2 of the upper frame 10 need only support the weight of the canopy of the roof, the poles are formed with a small diameter. On the other hand, Support A of the lower frame must support the entire weight of the upper roof structure and the awning, and at the same time withstand strong winds blowing from all directions, and has greater rigidity than Pole 2. It must be composed of a large-diameter tubular body that requires

The connector 30 of the present invention connects the free end 4 of the pole 2 and the upper end of the support A. there is

In the connecting device 30, the obtuse angle between the pole connecting portion and the strut (pillar) connecting portion is such that when the Combitent is installed, the pole 2 is bent upward in a bow shape, and the weight of the awning ground is reduced. This is to prevent it from drooping down even if it is subjected to

It is also within the technical scope of the present invention that the connector 30 has a movable means in the middle of the body so that it can be moved according to the installation angle and inclination angle of the upper and lower frames when setting up the tent.

In FIG. 3, after unfolding the pole 2 and assembling the support A, the pole 2 and the support A are connected using a connector 3 to assemble a one-touch type combitent pole, and the awning ground is attached to the combitent frame. It shows a combitent created by installing the .

The pole 2 and support A are preferably selected from aluminum, general metal, duralumin, and synthetic resin.

When folding a large tent, after separating and dismantling the poles A, the upper one-touch folding poles are folded down to minimize the unfolding flat area. Since the struts are separated from the tent body, the weight of the one-touch folding poles is reduced by the weight of the struts, and the folded volume is also reduced. The dismantled one-touch folding pole and support are put into a bag together or put into separate bags for easy carrying and storage.

REFERENCE SIGNS LIST 1 center head 2 poles 2a, 2b pole member 3 hinge 10 upper frame 20 lower frame 30 connector A support 21 segmental support

The poles of the upper frame are connected by hinges formed at the joints of the pole members, and the hinges allow the upper frame to be extended or folded into a W shape with the hinges downward .

When folding the tent, the segmental posts that make up the lower frame are separated and dismantled one by one, and when the hinges of the one-touch folding poles of the upper frame are pushed, the hinges are elastically lowered. folded into. Since the lower frame separated from the fittings is separated into a plurality of segments, the folded volume is also small. The dismantled upper and lower frames are put together in a bag or put in separate bags for transportation and storage.

The connector 30 of the present invention connects the free end 4 of the lower end of the pole 2 and the upper end of the support A, and the pole connection part and the support support connection part form an obtuse angle (an angle larger than a right angle). are unified.

In the connecting device 30, the obtuse angle between the pole connecting portion and the strut (pillar) connecting portion is such that when the Combitent is installed, the pole 2 is bent upward in a bow shape, and the weight of the awning ground is reduced. This is to prevent the upper frame 10 from sagging down due to the hinges 3 even if it receives the load.
