BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hip-type tent that provides a wide interior space and can be set up in a short time.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a tent has a structure in which a main support is provided in the center. Furthermore, in the case of a hipped tent,
In addition to the above-mentioned main support, four sub-support supports are installed around the main support. However, providing the main support at the center of the tent in this manner is equivalent to installing an obstacle in the interior space, resulting in a substantial narrowing of the interior space.

[0003] Furthermore, when setting up the above-mentioned hipped tent, it is necessary to prepare guy lines and stakes in advance, and to connect a large number of members during setting up. Therefore, at least two to three workers were required for the construction, and it was inevitable that it would take a long time.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and provide a hip-type tent that has a substantially wider interior space and can be set up in a short time. It's about doing.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A hipped tent according to the present invention which achieves the above object has at least three beam frames rotatably connected radially to a central pivot, and other beam frames as well. Adjacent end portions are connected to each other with a tensile wire material, and a column frame is rotatably connected to the other end of these beam frames to constitute a frame structure, and the frame structure is The feature is that the outside is covered with a curtain body.

[0006] By using a frame structure in which pivot points, beam frames, etc. are integrated as described above, it is possible to eliminate the need for the main support in the center, which was conventionally required. It becomes possible to substantially expand the interior space. In addition, since a self-supporting structure is formed by a frame structure in which beam frames etc. are integrated in advance,
Easy-to-handle one-touch operation is possible, which reduces setup time.

[0007] Hereinafter, an explanation will be given with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. 1 to 4 show an example of a frame structure used in a hipped tent according to the present invention. The frame structure A shown in these figures includes a central pivot 1, four beam frames 2 radially pivoted around the pivot 1, and column frames connected to each of these beam frames 2. 3, and tensile wire members 4 that connect the ends of the four beam frames 2 to each other.

It is necessary to provide at least three beam frames 2 to form a hipped ridge, but it is preferable to provide four beam frames as in the illustrated example. The pivot support 1 has a pair of flanges 5, 5 welded to its outer periphery at four equally spaced locations, and the beam frame 2 is rotatably connected to a pin 6 installed horizontally on the flanges 5, 5. In this connected structure, these beam frames 2 are in the unfolded position for setup as shown by solid lines in Figure 3, and in the folded position for storage as shown in chain lines (or as shown in solid lines in Figure 2). The position can be changed depending on the position. In addition, the beam frame 2 is always provided with a gap g between it and the outer wall surface of the pivot support 1, so that the beam frame 2 can be freely rotated, both when set up and when stored.

A column frame 3 is rotatably supported at the other end of each beam frame 2. When set up, this column frame 3 stands upright at a certain angle to the beam frame 2, as shown in Figure 1, and when stored, it stands parallel to the inside of the beam frame 2, as shown in Figure 2. It is designed to be foldable. Furthermore, beam frame 2
At the other end, as shown by broken lines in FIG. 1, a tensile wire member 4 is provided to connect adjacent members.

Of the above-mentioned structural members, the pivot 1, the beam frame 2, and the column frame 3 are all made of materials with excellent compressive strength. Preferably used materials include steel, aluminum, titanium, fiber-reinforced resin, and the like. Further, as the tensile wire material 4, a fiber rope, a wire rope, a chain, or the like can be used. However, from the viewpoint of weight reduction, fiber rope is preferable. Among these, aromatic polyamide fiber ropes with low elongation and high strength are most suitable. Further, it is desirable that a turnbuckle or the like be disposed in the middle of the wire material 4 so that its length (tension) can be adjusted.

In order to set up a tent using the above-mentioned frame structure A, it is preferable to carry out the steps shown in FIGS. 5 to 8. First, the frame structure A in the folded state as shown in FIG. 2 is propped up on the ground with the four beam frames 2 spread out at an appropriate angle as shown in FIG. At this time, the wire members 4 between the beam frames 2 may be in a relaxed state.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the column frame 3, which is connected to the two beam frames 2, which are in opposing positions,
Spread out 3 and set it upright. At this time, each beam frame 2, 2
It is preferable that the wire material 4 in between is in a substantially tensioned state. After this, as shown in FIG. 7, the column frame 3, which is connected to the remaining two beam frames 2, 2,
Spread out 3 and set it upright. Next, the curtain body 7 is placed over the outside of the frame structure A, which is now in a completely erected state, and the tension line 8 is further hung, thereby completing the tent T as shown in FIG. 8.

[0013] In the above-mentioned construction work, the curtain body 7 is covered after the frame structure A is erected, but it is not necessarily necessary to cover the curtain body 7 last.
It may be covered at the initial stage of assembly of the frame structure A shown in FIG. 5, or it may be integrated from the beginning. In any case, if the above-described frame structure A is used when setting up the tent T, the frame can be set up with a simple one-touch operation since the constituent members are integrated in advance. Therefore, the work can be done easily even by a single worker, and it can be set up in a short time.

Furthermore, if the frame structure A is used, there is no need to provide a main support at the center, so the internal space can be substantially expanded. Furthermore, the framework structure A is
When set up in the tent T as shown in Figure 8, a gap g is always interposed between the pivot portion 1 and each beam frame 2, making it rotatable, resulting in a flexible structure. There is. That is, the beam frame 2 does not have a rigid structure locked to the pivot 1, but has a flexible structure that releases force through relative rotation between the pivot 1 and the beam frame 2. Therefore, the roof's own weight is supported by the tensile strength of the wire members 4 on the four sides through the radially arranged beam frames 2, and as a result, uniform tension is always maintained over the entire curtain surface of the roof. be in a state of being given. Therefore, the roof of this tent can effectively drain rainwater even though there are few beams.

Furthermore, due to the above-described flexible structure, a large bending load is not applied to the beam frame 2, so even if a structural material with a small cross-sectional area is used for the beam frame 2, it cannot sufficiently support the roof load. This makes it possible to reduce weight. Although the case where only one frame structure A is used has been described above, the frame structure of the present invention can also be used in combination of a plurality of frames as one unit.

[0016] When combining multiple frame structures,
It is necessary to improve the flow of rainwater on the roof at the connecting part. As a countermeasure against such water flow, the pillar frame 3 is modified to have an expandable structure, or a frame for height adjustment is connected. Fig. 9 shows that one column frame 3' is made to be higher than the remaining three column frames 3 by making it telescopic and extending, or by joining an adjustment frame, and this raised column frame 3' is The beam frames 2' to be connected are made horizontal. By combining four tents T' based on the frame structure A having such a structure in a ``field'' shape, it is possible to form a connected tent with a very wide internal space as shown in Figure 11. . The flow of rainwater on the roof at this time is as shown by the arrow.

FIG. 10 also shows that the two pillar frames 3' located opposite each other can be expanded and contracted in the same way, or by connecting an adjustment frame, the two pillar frames 3' can be extended from the remaining two pillar frames 3. The two beam frames 2' connected to this raised column frame 3' are made horizontal. Frame structure A with such a structure
By combining four tents T' based on T' in a ``field'' shape, a connected tent as shown in FIG. 12 can be formed. The flow of rainwater on the roof at this time is as shown by the arrow.

[0018]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, at least three beam frames are provided on the pivot portion so as to be rotatable radially, and the ends of the beam frames are connected to each other by tensile wire members. Since the frame structure is constructed, the main support at the center can be eliminated, and the internal space can be substantially expanded. In addition, since the frame structure is integrally connected with beam frames, etc., a self-supporting structure is formed, and easy-to-handle one-touch installation work is possible. Therefore, the time required to set up the tent can be shortened.

[0019] Furthermore, the connection between the pivot part and the beam frame has a flexible structure, and in order to ensure that the load on the roof is supported by the tensile strength of the wire material, tension is constantly applied to the entire surface of the curtain of the roof. condition and improve the flow of rainwater. In addition, the beam frame can be made smaller and lighter in weight.
