Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tent, and more particularly to improvement of a tent used for, for example, an event venue or an exhibition hall.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when setting up this kind of tent,
For example, a frame structure formed into a desired shape by a large number of frame members is erected on the ground, and then a film material is stretched over the frame structure.

[0003]

However, when the stretching of the membrane material is performed after the construction of the frame structure as in the above-mentioned conventional method,
Since the installation of such membrane materials and the interior treatment around the ceiling are work at high places, it is necessary to introduce a heavy machine such as a crane, and the work at the site becomes very large. There was a problem.

Although the tent is set up based on a predetermined specification, since the above-mentioned conventional frame structure has a rigid connection structure, the appearance and the shape of the internal space are arbitrarily changed after the set up. It was almost impossible to do so, and it also had the drawback of being extremely lacking in flexibility.

In this case, it is very convenient if the external shape, the internal space shape, etc. can be arbitrarily changed as needed, and it is expected that the application range of this kind of tent structure can be expanded. .

Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and the construction work can be performed very easily and quickly, and the tent can be constructed in a desired external shape and internal space shape. Is an issue.

[0007]

That is, the means adopted by the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is a frame member 1 in which a plurality of flexible rod-like bodies are arranged in parallel with each other at intervals. When,
The skeleton member 1 is stretched over the skeleton member 1, and one end and the other end of the skeleton member 1 can be brought into contact with and separated from each other.

[0008]

Therefore, when a tent having the above-mentioned structure is set up, first, the membrane member 5 is stretched on the frame member 1. However, since such stretching work is a flat work, it is performed on the ground. You can do everything.

After that, if each rod-shaped body constituting the frame member 1 is appropriately bent and held, the inside having the desired external shape and having the desired height, the size of the opening, the flat area, etc. It is possible to set up a tent with space.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a frame member formed in a lattice shape, and the frame member 1 is a beam member 2 as a rod-shaped body.
And a beam member 3 shorter than the beam member 2 and a T-shaped connecting member 4 for a cross shape or an end portion, and the beam member 2 and the beam member 3 are fitted into the connecting member 4, respectively. In order to make it possible, the inner diameters of both ends of both members 2 and 3 are set to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the connecting member 4.

Each of these members is, for example, a cylindrical glass fiber or carbon fiber impregnated with a thermosetting resin such as polyester, epoxy or phenol, and each member has flexibility.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 5 denotes a rectangular film material, which is detachably attached so as to cover the upper surface of the frame member 1.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a plurality of attachment members fixed to the installation surface at predetermined intervals by bolts or anchors through attachment holes 7a formed at four corners of the substrate 7 as shown in FIG. A cylindrical body 9 is rotatably mounted between a pair of standing plates 8 that are provided to face each other and a rib 10 is attached between the outer surface of the base plate 7 and the standing plate 8. Then, one end of the beam member 2 is fitted into the tubular body 9.

Reference numeral 11 is a guide member fixed to the installation surface relative to the attachment member 6. The guide member 11 is composed of two types, one of which is a guide member 11a as shown in FIG. A long bottom plate 12 fixed to the side plate 13, side plates 13 formed upright on both sides of the bottom plate 12, and an inward plate 14 bent inward at the tip of the side plate 13. A pair of racks 15 are laid in the longitudinal direction at predetermined intervals in the section, and a plurality of projecting pieces 16 are projectingly provided on the side surface of the side plate 13.

The other guide member 11b has an overall shape substantially similar to that of the one guide member 11a, but as shown in FIG. A plurality of bearings 18 are arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate 12,
Moreover, the side plate 13 is formed to be slightly lower in height.

The one guide member 11a is arranged at both sides and the central position, and two other guide members 11b are installed between them.

Reference numeral 19a denotes one movable member mounted on one guide member 11a. As shown in FIG. 4, a pair of support members 21 in which bearings (not shown) are internally mounted on the lower surface of the movable plate 20 are arranged at the front and rear sides. A rack 15 of the one guide member 11a is provided at both ends of a rotary shaft 22 that is provided as a set and is rotatably supported between the support members 21.
A gear 23 that meshes with is rotatably supported by the movable plate 20 and the attachment member 6 fixed to the upper surface of the movable member 19a.
Is configured.

Reference numeral 19b is the other movable member mounted on the other guide member 11b, and has the same structure as the attaching member 6 as shown in FIG. Reference numeral 24 denotes an angle member provided on the projecting piece 16 so as to connect the adjacent guide members 11.

Reference numeral 25 is a winding machine disposed inside the attaching member 6 fixed to the installation surface, and the other end of the wire 26 fixed to the winding machine 25 has the other movable member. It is attached to the hole 7a provided in the substrate 7 of 19a.

This embodiment is constructed as described above, and the actual assembly of such a tent is carried out as follows.

First, a plurality of beam members 2 and girder members 3 are shown in FIG.
After the frame member 1 having a desired size is formed by connecting through the connecting member 4 as described above, the film member 5 is attached by the attaching means provided on the back surface side of the film member 5 so as to cover the upper surface of the frame member 1. 5 is stretched.

Thus, this series of work is a planar work that can be performed on the ground, and since each component of the frame member 1 is lightweight as described above, it can be performed extremely easily and quickly. There is an advantage, and since the frame member 1 becomes very compact when disassembled, it can greatly contribute to the convenience of storage and transportation.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1, one end of the beam member 2 is inserted into the tubular body 9 of the attachment member 6 fixed to the ground, and the other end of the beam member 2 is attached to one guide member 11a. Member mounted on the movable member 19a and the other guide member 11b
It inserts in the cylindrical body 9 of 19b, respectively. In this case, since the tubular body 9 is pivotally attached to the standing plate 8, the tubular body 9 can be rotated.
If the beam is properly rotated, the work of inserting the beam member 2 can be easily performed.

After that, the other end of the beam member 2 is moved to the one end side to be bent. In this case, if the winding machine 25 is operated and the wire 26 is wound up, each movable member 19a, 19b moves inward along the guide members 11a and 11b, the beam member 2 bends, and a tent can be set up.

In this case, the movable members 19a and 19b as shown in FIG.
Since the bending shape of the beam member 2 can be arbitrarily changed according to the moving amount of the tent, it is possible to set up tents having different external shapes, internal space shapes, opening areas, flat areas, and the like.

Further, since the movable members 19a, 19b can be moved to the reach of the worker to mount the ceiling decoration and the lighting equipment, the interior work can be performed easily and safely. There are also advantages.

Further, in the tent according to the present embodiment, the movable members 19a, 19b can be moved according to the change of weather after the construction, for example, when the wind speed is strong,
If the tent height is lowered to reduce wind resistance, and if there is a large amount of snow, raise the height to make it easier for the snow to slide down,
Alternatively, it is possible to actively remove the snow.

When lowering the tent height or disassembling the tent, the winding state by the winding machine 25 is released, and a winding machine is separately installed at the outer position of the guide member 11a. The movable member 19a may be installed and moved in the opposite direction via the wire.

In the above embodiment, the frame member 1 is constructed by connecting the beam member 2 and the beam member 3 via the connecting member 4 in addition to the beam member 2. However, in a tent having a relatively small scale, It is also possible to configure with only the beam member 2.

The material of the frame member 1 such as the beam member 2 is by no means limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the point is that it is a material that has flexibility and can be flexed without trouble during construction. I wish I had it.

Further, for example, when the tent is small or medium-sized, it is not always necessary to use the guide member 11 as in the above embodiment, and the other end of the beam member 2 is connected to one end. The specific means for making it detachable does not matter.

In addition, the design of the shape and material of the tent film 5 can be freely changed within the scope of the present invention.

[0034]

As described above, since the present invention has the above-described structure, the work of tensioning the film material on the frame member can be performed as a flat work on the ground, and It is also possible to perform interior treatment with the member appropriately bent, so there is no need to work at a high place like the conventional one where the film material was stretched after the construction of the frame structure,
The result is that the series of operations can be performed easily and safely.

Further, depending on the amount of bending of the frame member, it is possible to set up a tent having a desired external shape, the shape of the internal space, the opening area, the flat area, and the like, and the amount of bending is changed even after the setting. As a result, since the tent has the flexibility to arbitrarily change the outer shape and the like, the peculiar effect that the applicable range of this kind of tent can be greatly expanded is exhibited.

Further, since the present invention has a very simple structure, there is also a practical effect that each member can be manufactured inexpensively and easily.
