Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to, for example, a tent house for disaster or refugee relief, a simple building for a work site, a horticultural house, a shed, a bungalow, a stall, a warehouse, and other simple tents, and particularly, assembling, dismantling, The present invention relates to a simple tent that is easy to transport, yet is lightweight and has high strength.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, tent houses, bungalows,
It is well known that many simple tents that can be used in stalls and the like are widespread. There is also a dome-shaped simple tent of this kind. According to this, each aggregate used as the skeleton is in a disjointed state, and these aggregates are connected one by one at the time of assembly to form a dome shape. It was what I had.

[0003]

By the way, when assembling a plurality of disjointed aggregates into a dome-shaped simple tent in the above-mentioned prior art, in particular, a plurality of curved aggregates forming a dome-shaped portion are used. Not only was it a lot of work to assemble and dismantle, and the work was extremely complicated and extremely troublesome to fix with one screw and install it,
There were many problems such as heavy weight, troublesome transportation and handling, and weak strength.

[0004]

The simple tent of the present invention comprises:
For the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems, a plurality of base members can be expanded to form a circular shape or a polygonal shape. In addition to connecting, the upper ends of a plurality of curved frame members are fastened and loosely pivoted at one location, and the lower ends of these curved frame members are expanded into a circular or polygonal shape. Each of the plurality of base members is detachably fixed to the plurality of curved base members at appropriate intervals so as to form a dome shape, and is further detachably attached from the upper portion of the plurality of curved frame members. The feature is that the awning can be stretched.

As shown in FIG. 4, it is fixed to the mounting portion 1a of each base member 1 in a circularly expanded state by a detachable fixing means 6 to form a dome-shaped portion. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, by appropriately tensioning an awning 7 made of, for example, an awning cloth or a vinyl sheet, from above the eight curved frame members 3,
A simple tent is completed. Of course, the awning 7 is provided with a door portion 8 and other windows (not shown) at appropriate positions, for example, with a fastener 9.

Further, between the upper parts of the curved bone coarse member 3,
As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 8, the fixing means 10 is provided for both the space regulation and the reinforcement of the curved frame members 3 during the construction of the simple tent. The fixing means 10 in this embodiment has one end 10a pivotally attached to one curved frame member 3 and one end 10b of a pair of fixing rods 11 pivotally attached to the other curved frame member 3 at one end 10a. The structure is such that they can be pivotally attached and fixed to each other by means of bolts / nuts or thumbscrews, but the structure is not limited to the above.

The curved bone coarse member 3 in this embodiment
The fixing means between the lower end portion and the mounting portion 1a of the base member 1 is shown in FIG.
10 to 10, such as bolt and nut overlapping fastening means,
Alternatively, a fitting and fastening means as shown in FIG. 11, or FIG.
The engaging means such as a hook body as shown is optional.

Next, construction of the simple tent of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 2, each of the four base members 1 folded through the pivotally connecting portion 2 is expanded as shown in FIG. 4 to form a circular shape, and as shown in FIG. The respective upper end portions 3a are overlapped at one place and are pivotally attached by appropriate pivot attachment means 4, and each of the eight bent curved frame members 3 which are folded is expanded as shown in FIG. 5 to form each of these curved frame members. Each upper end portion 3a of the member 3 is integrally fastened with a fastening nut 4a shown in FIG. 3, and each curved frame member 3 is fixed by a fixing means 10 for both space regulation and reinforcement, and each curved portion Each lower end portion 3b of the frame member 3 is fixed to the mounting portion 1a of each base member 1 formed in a circular shape as shown in FIG. 4 by appropriate fixing means 6 to form a dome-shaped portion. From the upper part of the eight curved frame members 3, for example, awning cloth or vinyl The tent 7 of manufacturing the sheet is stretched appropriately is to applying a simple tent shown in Figure 1.

FIGS. 13 and 14 show another embodiment of the curved frame member 3. The one shown in FIG. 13 is a fishing rod type (extendable type) curved frame member. The structure shown in FIG. 14 is a foldable curved frame member, each of which is provided with screws or other appropriate fixing means 12 as required, and can be made compact during transportation and storage.

[0012]

According to the simple tent of the present invention, a plurality of base members can be unfolded to form a circular shape or a polygonal shape through a pivoting portion provided at each end of each base member.
