Description

  The present invention relates to a folding tent.

  Conventionally, there has been known a framework structure of a tent that can be folded freely by using a scissor assembly that can be folded into a pantograph shape by connecting two scissor bars in an X shape so that the scissor bar can rotate freely at a connecting portion. This is disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2625255. Such a foldable framework structure can cover a sufficiently large area when unfolded, and has a sufficiently small size and shape when folded, and can be stored and carried in a desired bag. Therefore, it is widely put into practical use as a tent or an awning. The awning that covers the frame structure forms the roof, and also hangs down to the position of the slide bracket that connects the scissor assembly and the column, and forms the side of the rectangular rectangle that covers the upper side of the four columns. To do. The awning side surface part covers the upper side of the frame structure in the form of a horizontal rectangle so that the fixing bracket, the slide bracket and the scissor connection part are completely hidden.

  However, such a shape of the awning side surface has a disadvantage that when the strong wind is received from the side of the tent, the side of the awning receives the wind properly, the tent bends, and the frame structure is distorted or damaged. If the awning side is removed so that the wind from the side is not received, and the awning has a shape that covers only the roof, the awning side is wrapped around the upper part of the support in a strip shape, and the flexure of the frame structure is caused by the tension. Since there is also a function for suppressing the rigidity and maintaining the rigidity, the strength of the tent is conversely lowered, and on the contrary, the frame structure is distorted or broken. In addition, the awning side part covers the connecting part of the scissor bar, so that even if a person's head comes into contact with the connecting part, it also has a function to ensure safety so that it will not be injured. The side of the tent cannot be removed without consideration.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the form of the tent (1) in which the awning (8) is fixed to the frame structure (12) as a transparent view. The tent (1)
A scissor assembly (2) in which two scissor frames are connected in an X-shape so as to be pivotable and connected by a scissor connecting portion (6), and can be folded into a pantograph shape, and the scissor assembly. Fixed bracket that consists of four struts (5) that can be expanded or contracted in (2), and that fixes the four struts (5) and scissor assembly (2) to the top of the strut (5) In a tent that is connected by a slide bracket (4) that slides along (3) and the column (5), and the roof (15) and the upper side of the four columns (5) are covered with a tent (8). In the state where the tent (1) is expanded, the lateral rectangular side surface portion (13) of the awning covering the upper portion of the column is formed by a line connecting the slide bracket (4) and the scissor upper connection portion (6a) and a lower end line. The triangular surface is cut and released.

  The side part (13) of the horizontal rectangle of the awning (8) covering the upper part of the column is from the horizontal rectangular shape with two fixed brackets (3) and two slide brackets (4) as the four corners. By cutting the triangular surface formed by the line connecting the connecting part (6a) and the lower end line, even when a strong crosswind is received, the wind can escape, suppressing the deflection of the tent, and the framework structure (12) distortion and breakage can be prevented.

  The awning side surface portion (13) is wrapped around the upper portion of the support in a belt shape, and the flexure of the frame structure (12) is suppressed by the tension to maintain the rigidity. In addition, the tent side surface portion (13) does not impair the appearance of the tent by covering the connecting portion of the frame structure (12) and the like.

  FIG. 2 shows an enlarged view of the fixing portion by the hooked belt (9) in a state where the awning side surface portion (13) is attached to the scissor assembly (2). Attach the belt (9) with the hook (10) to the part of the awning side (13) that covers the scissor upper connection (6a). The length of the belt (9) corresponds approximately to the distance between the scissor upper connecting portion (6a) and the scissor lower connecting portion (6b) of the scissor connecting portion (6) when the tent is assembled. The awning (8) can be fixed to the frame structure (12) by attaching the hook (10) to the lower connecting portion (6b) of the scissor.
