Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a pole connector for a dome type tent.

(Prior Art) A pole used in a dome-shaped tent is made of glass fiber having good elasticity or a synthetic resin having elasticity and strength of the same degree. Both ends of the pole had to have an appropriate length because they were inserted and supported by eyelets installed around the tent and bent by their elasticity to form a dome shape. .

However, if the length of the pole is too long, it is difficult to carry, so normally, it is necessary to connect a large number of tubular pole members of a suitable length with a connecting pipe formed on one side in a row. A rubber band was pierced inside the so that each pole member could always be handled integrally.

In the case of such a dome type tent, two or three or more poles are used, and each pole crosses each other at the apex of the tent to form a dome shape.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) Although the dome type tent of the above type has a light and solid advantage, the pole must be separated from the tent when the tent is folded, and when the tent is installed in the opposite direction, the pole is separated. There was the inconvenience of having to join with the sleeve of the tent. Further, since the respective poles cross each other at the apex of the tent, there is a drawback in that the crossing portion is fluid and the tent vibrates in the case of strong wind, and is unstable.

On the other hand, in order to solve the above problems, there is a so-called 60-second tent in which a connecting portion between pole members can be folded. Although this tent has an advantage that it can be easily installed and folded in a short time, it has a new problem that the tent is not solid.

(Means for Solving the Problem) An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems at the time of installing a tent in a pole of a conventional dome type tent that is firmly connected through a connecting pipe. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved dome type pole connector for a tent, which is installed at the apex of a tent where two or more poles cross each other and which allows the poles to be radially connected to the outer circumference.

The configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 corresponding to the embodiment. The connector of this invention has a plurality of pole insertion holes (10) radially arranged on the outer periphery of the disk-shaped boss (2), and the center of the boss (2) communicates with the above-mentioned pole insertion holes (10). The through hole (4) is provided, and the through hole (4) is formed in the rubber bunt (B) which is penetrated inside the pole
It is formed so that a knot can be attached inside.

The number of pole insertion holes (10) is 4, 6 to match the number of poles installed at the center of the apex of the tent on the outer periphery of the boss (2).
A desired number such as eight or eight is provided at equal intervals. In addition, in order to increase the rigidity of the boss (2) which is the main part of this invention,
Reinforcing ribs (12) of an appropriate shape may be provided around the through hole (4) on the center side and around the pole inserting hole (10).

(Operation of the Invention) With the above-described structure, the tent pole is connected at the center of the connector and can be handled integrally with the tent.

(Embodiment) A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the connector of the present invention. A through hole (4) is provided in the center of the disk-shaped boss (2), and a protruding wall (6) is provided around the through hole (4). In this embodiment, an X-shaped crossing wall (8) is provided inside the protruding wall (6).
Is integrated so that the connector will not be deformed by any sudden temperature change such as severe cold or heat, and it will not be damaged by strong wind.

A large number of pole insertion holes (10) are arranged and formed at equal intervals on the outer periphery of the boss (2). In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the pole insertion hole
Four (10) are arranged, but this is limited to a square dome type tent, if there are six or eight pole insertion holes (10) in a hexagonal or octagonal tent Good.

Incidentally, also in the pole insertion hole (10), the reinforcing rib (12) can be formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof. The shape of the reinforcing ribs (12) can be arbitrarily formed, but it is preferable that the reinforcing ribs (12) have a structure that can withstand the temperature and impact without increasing the weight.

A pole member (P) with a connecting pipe (J) integrally attached to one end is inserted into each pole insertion hole (10), and a rubber band (B) inside the pole member (P) is inserted. Then, a knot is attached inside the through hole (4) which will be described later.

FIG. 2 shows that a rubber band (B) with a knot inside the through hole (4) and the connecting pipe (J) of the pole member (P) are inserted through the pole inserting hole (10). FIG. A rubber band (B) is placed between the through hole (4) and the pole insertion hole (10).
Is provided with a small hole (14) through which the rubber band (B) is inserted into the through hole (4) through the small hole (14) and a knot is formed in the through hole (4). Can be attached. Therefore, the connecting pipe (J) of the pole member (P) can be inserted into and removed from the pole insertion hole (10) of the boss (2), but the knot of the rubber bunt (B) completely removes it from the boss (2). Will no longer be separated.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an entire tent showing a usage example of the pole connector according to the present invention.

The boss (2) is located at the top of the tent, and the pole member (P) connected through the pole insertion hole (10) is radially expanded to form the tent (T).

The tent (T) was installed in the same way as the dome type tent that has been used conventionally, and a large number of pole members (P) were connected in a row via the connecting pipe (J), and when they were folded, they were connected. Disassemble the multiple pole members (P) in the reverse order of assembly. These pole members (P) are internal rubber bands
Because it is connected to the boss (2) through (B), it is not completely separated from the tent, but is concentrated at the apex of the tent in the initial deployed position.

(Effect of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience at the time of installation and dismantling, which is a problem in the method in which the pole is completely separated from the tent. Further, at the apex of the tent, the poles are crossed with each other via the boss, and the crossing points do not move and are firmly maintained even in strong winds.
