Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a tent device that can be easily assembled and put away.

Generally, conventional tent devices are comprised of a pole, a frame member, and a canopy. When in use, the above-mentioned pillars are erected on the ground, each pillar is connected with a frame member to form a framework, and the framework is then assembled by covering the framework with a canopy. Therefore, when it is used, it requires work such as assembling the frame and putting on the canopy, which requires a lot of effort and is extremely inconvenient. Also, when cleaning up, you have to remove the top and disassemble the frame, which is the same as when assembling, so it takes a lot of time.

Furthermore, in conventional tent devices, once a canopy is attached to the frame, a sheet made of the same fabric as the canopy is placed inside, and the user sleeps on this sheet. However, since the above-mentioned sheet does not have cushioning properties or heat retention properties, it also has the disadvantage that the user cannot feel the hardness or coldness of the ground and cannot obtain a comfortable sleeping feeling.

This idea was created based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to make it easy to assemble and clean up, and to provide the user with a comfortable sleeping experience through good cushioning and heat retention. An object of the present invention is to provide a tent device that does so.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. 1 in FIG. 1 is an air mat. The air mat 1 is formed in the shape of a rectangular flat plate, for example, from a sheet of fabric, such as canvas, whose inner surface is treated to be airtight by applying rubber to the inner surface. Inside the air mat 1, there are provided a large number of partition cloths 2 arranged at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction, with their upper and lower ends fixed to the upper and lower inner surfaces of the air mat 1. Furthermore, the air mat 1 is provided with a plug 3 for supplying and discharging compressed air into the air mat 1. When the air mat 1 is expanded by supplying compressed air from the stopper 3 to the inside thereof, the shape at that time is maintained in a flat plate shape by the partition cloth 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of support pieces 4 made of belt-like cloth fixed in a loop shape are provided on the lower surface of the longitudinally central portion of the air mat 1, spaced apart in the width direction. A first pipe 5 and a second pipe 6 having a length approximately half the width of the air mat 1 are inserted and held in these support pieces 4. 1st
The pipe 5 has a rectangular cross section with a larger diameter than the second pipe 6, and the second pipe 6 is slidably fitted inside the pipe 5. Further, a first set screw 7 is screwed onto one end of the first pipe 5.
The second pipe 6 can be fixed to the first pipe 5 at any sliding position by means of a set screw 7. A first support member 8 and a second support member are formed by a pair of plate members spaced apart from each other at the end portions of the first pipe 5 and the second pipe 6 that protrude from both sides in the width direction of the air mat 1. 9 is fixed. One end of a plurality of first support pipes 10, three in this embodiment, is connected to a support shaft 1 in the first support member 8.
1, and one end of three second support pipes 12 having a smaller diameter than the first support pipes 10 is pivotally connected to the second support member 9 by a support shaft 11. There is. first and second support pipes 10,
One end of a first mounting pipe 13 and a second mounting pipe 14, which are curved into an L-shape, are slidably fitted into the other end of the pipe 12, respectively. The first attachment pipe 13 has a larger diameter than the second attachment pipe 14, and the other end of the second attachment pipe 14 is slidably inserted into the other end of the first attachment pipe 13. Second set screws 16 are screwed onto the other ends of the first and second support pipes 10 and 12, respectively,
These setscrews 16 allow the first and second mounting pipes 13 and 14 to be fixed at any sliding position. Further, a third set screw 15 is screwed onto the other end of the first mounting pipe 13.
This third set screw 15 allows the second mounting pipe 14 to be fixed to the first mounting pipe 13 at any sliding position. In other words, the first and second support pipes 10 and 12 and the first and second attachment pipes 13 and 14 constitute a frame member 17 having a substantially inverted U shape.

These beams 17 are covered with a canopy 18.
The canopy 18 is made of waterproof fabric sewn into a bag shape with an open bottom. An entrance/exit portion 20 that can be opened and closed by a fastener 19 is formed on one side of the hood 18, and the first and second mounting pipes 13, 14 of each frame member 17 are attached to the inner surface of the hood 18.
A loop-shaped connecting piece 21 is provided to connect to. These connecting pieces 21 are designed to hold the three frame members 17 at a predetermined angle when the top 18 is stretched. As shown in FIG. 1, the periphery of the opening of the hood 18 is fixed to the periphery of the lower surface of the air mat 1 by adhesive or other means. Note that the portions of the periphery of the top 18 that correspond to the pair of support members 8 and 9 are not fixed to the air mat 1. Further, the plug 3 provided on the air mat 1 is led out from a through hole (not shown) formed in the hood 18.

When using the tent device with the above configuration, proceed as follows. First, the protruding length of the first and second mounting pipes 13 and 14 from the first and second support pipes 10 and 12, that is, the height dimension of the tent device, is set using the second set screw 16. . next,
The air mat 1 is filled with compressed air while the first set screw 7 and the third set screw 15 are loosened. As a result, when the air mat 1 expands into a predetermined rectangular plate shape, the second pipe 6 protrudes from the first pipe 5 in conjunction with this expansion, and the length dimension of these pipes becomes almost the same as the width dimension of the air mat 1. At the same time, the second mounting pipe 14 protrudes from the first mounting pipe 13, and the width dimension thereof becomes the same as the width dimension of the air mat 1. Further, a canopy 18 whose peripheral edge is fixed to the air mat 1 is stretched above the air mat 1. In this way, once the canopy 18 is stretched, the first set screw 7 and the third set screw 1
5 and fix the second pipe 6 to the first pipe 5, and fix the second attachment pipe 14 to the first attachment pipe 13, the tent device can be assembled.

When the tent device is to be put away, the air is removed from the air mat 1, the canopy 18 is slackened, the multiple frame members 17 are folded down to overlap as shown in FIG. Fold in two. Also, loosen the first to third setscrews 7, 15, 16, insert the second pipe 6 into the first pipe 5, and insert the third mounting pipe 14 into the first mounting pipe 13. By reducing the width dimension formed by these and further reducing the height dimension by inserting the first and second mounting pipes 13 and 14 into the first and second support pipes 10 and 12, the tent device can be constructed. The whole thing can be packed up much smaller than when assembled.

When the tent device is assembled and used, the user sleeps on the air mat 1, and the cushioning and heat retention properties of the air mat 1 provide a comfortable sleeping experience. Also,
When assembling the tent device, fill the air mat 1 with compressed air and tighten the first to third setscrews 7,
15 and 16, and when it is time to put it away, all that is required is to remove the air from the air mat 1, loosen the setscrews 7, 15, and 16, and slide each pipe.

Further, the support members 8 and 9 in this invention may be directly attached to both sides of the air mat 1, or the air mat 1 and the canopy 18 may be detachably connected, for example, by a fastener. .

As described above, this invention provides support members at the center in the longitudinal direction on both sides of an air mat through which air can be freely taken in and taken out, and a frame member is provided with both ends rotatably connected to these support members.
A hood was provided to cover the frame member, and the peripheral edge of the hood was connected to the periphery of the air mat to construct a tent device. Therefore, the tent device can be assembled and put away by blowing air in and out of the air mat, making these operations easy and quick. Further, when in use, the cushioning and heat retention properties of the air mat allow the user to sleep comfortably. In addition, since the frame member is formed to be expandable in at least the width direction of the width direction and the height direction, handling and storage can be easily performed by shrinking the frame member to make it smaller when cleaning.
