Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a tent type indoor playing tool which is easily developed or folded and which does not require much space on putting it in storage. CONSTITUTION: A pentahedron is formed by two side face panels 2 shaped to form a nearly square face, respectively, a bottom sheet 3, and front and rear end sheets 4. An elastic core material 4 is buried in the peripheral part of the nearly square face in the side face panels 2, and openings 7, 8 through which children can pass are formed in the side face panels 2 and the front and rear end sheets 4.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention is developed in a tent type,
The present invention relates to a tent type indoor play equipment that can be folded in a circle.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Swing and slide are well known among playground equipment to be played indoors. However, when not used for play, the occupied area in the room is large and the storage space is difficult. Therefore, there are some that can be disassembled, but it is impossible for children to assemble and disassemble, and as a result, they are left outdoors as they are always assembled and they are damaged by rain and wind for a short period of time, making them unusable. The reality is that

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a tent type indoor play equipment which is formed under the above background, is easy to deploy and fold, and does not take up much space when stored.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the tent type indoor play equipment of the present invention is characterized by having the following requirements. (A) The two side panels each having a substantially rectangular shape, the bottom sheet, and the front and rear end sheets are formed into a pentahedron shape. (B) The side panels have elasticity in the peripheral portion of the substantially rectangular sheet. (C) An opening is formed in the side panel or front and rear end sheets that allows children to pass through.

[0005]

According to the above construction, the two side panels, the bottom sheet and the front and rear end sheets form a pentahedral tent type play equipment. Openings are formed in the side panels or front and rear seats to allow children to enter through one opening and exit through the other opening.

Since the core material having elasticity is embedded in the peripheral edge of the side panel, the two side panels can be overlapped and the core material can be folded into a whole while twisting the core material, and the core material can be elastically restored. Due to the force, the two side panels are restored to a square shape so that they can be easily deployed in a tent shape. A tent-type indoor play equipment that is easy to deploy and fold, does not take up space when stored, and does not use nail screws or the like, and is safe and easy to handle can be provided.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a tent type indoor play equipment in an expanded state, and the play equipment 1 has a side panel 2
And a bottom sheet 3 and front and rear sheets 4.

As shown in FIG. 2, the side panel 2 includes a core member 5
And a cover sheet 6 and two side panels 2
The upper ends are connected to each other so that the lower end opens around the upper end to form a roof when unfolded and the two side panels 2 overlap each other when folded.

The core member 5 is formed in a continuous annular shape by connecting both ends of an elastic member such as a spring having a rectangular cross section by welding or the like. The core material 5 is embedded in a housing portion 6a formed on the periphery of a cover sheet 6 described later.

The cover sheet 6 is made of a synthetic resin sheet such as nylon or a cloth material, and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and a cylindrical accommodating portion 6a in which the core material 5 is embedded is formed in the peripheral edge.
As shown in FIG. 3, the cross section of the accommodating portion 6a is formed to be larger than the cross section of the core material 5, and when the accommodating portion 6a is folded, the accommodating portion 6a is formed.
The inside of a is provided so that the core material 5 can slide freely.

An opening 7 is formed in the center of one side panel 2 so that a child can freely enter and leave the play equipment 1.

The peripheral edge of the opening 7 is provided with a rim 7a for reinforcement also as an accent.

The bottom sheet 3 is made of a synthetic resin such as nylon or a cloth material and is formed into a substantially rectangular shape. Both side edges in the longitudinal direction are connected to the lower edge of the side panel 2.

The front and rear end faces of the play equipment 1 are made of synthetic resin such as nylon and a substantially triangular front and rear end sheet formed with an opening 8 through which a child can pass, as shown in FIG. Blocked at 4.

As shown in FIG. 1, the play equipment 1 constructed as described above is in the form of a tent when it is unfolded, and enters the play equipment 1 through the opening 7 formed in the side panel 2 and the front and rear ends thereof. It can be enjoyed as a tunnel play by exiting through the opening 8 formed in the seat 4 or entering through the opening 8 and exiting through the opening 7.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the bottom sheet 3 is folded inward, the side panels 2 and 2 are overlapped, and a pair of opposed side parts c and d of the overlapped side panel 2 (FIG. 5A). (See Fig. 5 (b)), twisting
After bringing the point and the point b close to each other (Fig. 5)
(C)), when the points b are submerged under the point a (FIG. 5 (d)), the elastic force of the core material makes it possible to fold them in a circular shape as shown in FIG. 5 (e). .

Further, since it does not require screwing or assembly structure and the core member 5 is rounded by the elastic force, it can be easily folded even by a child and is not left indoors in a tent-shaped state. At the same time, since no infants are injured because no nails or screws are used, it is possible to provide a play equipment that is safe and easy to handle.

Further, since it does not require a space, it can be stored easily and can be easily carried, so that it can be taken out and used outdoors.

The folded playground equipment 1 can be easily restored to a tent shape by the elastic restoring force of the core material 5 when the overlapped portion is spread apart so as to be separated.
