Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a weathervane device in which a weathercock body is rotated by wind to indicate the direction of the wind.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is important to know the wind direction when camping.

Therefore, it is desirable to install a weathercock device, but for that purpose, it is troublesome to drive and install a weathercock installation pole on the ground, and it is also troublesome to carry this.

According to the present invention, the weathercock device can be easily installed by using the columns (tent poles) of a tent or a tarp tent, and it is not necessary to drive and install a pole for the weathercock device. It is an object of the present invention to provide an epoch-making weathercock device in which the weathercock device can be easily constructed on the tent simply by preparing the kit of the above.

[0005]

The gist of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0006] A weathercock body 5 which is rotated by the wind to indicate the direction of the wind on a tent pole 4 which has a locking rod 3 which is inserted into a locking hole 2 provided at the end of the tent or the tarp tent 1 and which is erected at the front end.
Is a rotatably provided weathercock device, which is provided with a locking rod mounting portion 6 which is detachably fitted and fixed to a locking rod 3 which is erected at the tip of the tent pole 4, and which is attached to the locking rod mounting portion 6. A shaft rod 7 is erected on the shaft rod 7, and a fitting hole 8 provided in the weathercock body 5 is rotatably fitted in the shaft rod 7 so that the weathercock body 5 is rotatably provided on the shaft rod 7. It relates to the weathercock device.

[0007]

The tent and the tarp tent 1 are stretched by inserting the locking rod 3 standing upright at the tip of the tent pole 4 into the locking hole 2. The locking rod mounting portion 6 is fitted and fixed to the locking rod 3 of the section, and the fitting hole 8 is rotatably fitted to the shaft rod 7 erected on the locking rod mounting portion 6 to mount the weathercock body 5. The shaft rod 7 is rotatably provided.

The wind vane body 5 arranged on the upper part of the tarp tent 1 rotates according to the change of the wind direction, and the wind direction can be known from the direction of the wind vane body 5.

[0009]

EXAMPLE This example is designed so that it can be applied to an existing tent pole 4 which is widely used.

The locking rod attachment portion 6 at the lower end portion has a fitting hole 9 formed in the lower portion of the cylindrical main body 6A through which the locking rod 3 provided upright at the tip of the tent pole 4 is inserted. A thumbscrew 15 for fixing the state where the locking rod 3 is inserted into the hole 9 is provided as a fixing means on the side portion of the cylindrical main body 6A.

A screw hole 10 into which a screw portion 7A at the lower end of the shaft rod 7 is screwed is provided in the upper portion of the cylindrical body 6A, and the screw portion 7A of the shaft rod 7 is screwed into the screw hole 10 and is attached to the locking rod attachment portion 6. The shaft rod 7 is configured to stand upright.

Further, in this embodiment, the orientation plate 14 indicating the directions of north, south, east and west is fixed to the upper portion of the engaging rod attachment portion 6.

The axis rod 7 is passed through the through hole 11 provided on the orientation plate 14, and the nut 12 is hinged to the threaded portion 7A of the axis rod 7 to press and fix the orientation plate 14 on the upper surface of the locking rod attachment portion 6. It is configured to do.

A tip end of the shaft rod 7 is formed to be sharp, and a fitting cylinder 13 having a fitting hole 8 into which the tip end of the shaft rod 7 is fitted is vertically provided on the weathervane body 5. The tip portion of the shaft rod 7 is fitted onto the shaft rod 7, and the weathercock 5 is rotatably provided at the tip of the shaft rod 7.

The weathercock 5 is made of a plate material and has an indicator portion 5A for indicating the wind direction on one side of the plate surface. The windward chicken body 5 is rotated by receiving the wind so that the direction indicated by the indicator portion 5A becomes the wind direction. However, this wind direction can be read by the azimuth plate 14 fixed downward.

[0016]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it is possible to mount the tent or the tarp tent by using a tent pole which serves as a support for the tent or the tarp tent. Without having to do this, the weathercock device can be installed in high places, making it a very suitable weathercock device for camping.

Moreover, since it can be installed by simply fitting it on the locking rod at the tip of the existing tent pole, it is an epoch-making weathercock device which is extremely easy to install.
