Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fly sheet mainly used for waterproofing in a tent used for auto camping and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A tent constructed by stretching a sheet on a frame in a camp or the like is often called a canopy or an inner tent, and a waterproof sheet called a fly sheet is arranged outside the sheet to make a double layer. Composed as a structure.

Further, the sheet is stretched substantially horizontally to form a roof,
There is a so-called tarp that provides a living space as an awning and as a light rain barrier. Since this tarp is usually set up close to the tent, there has been a structure having a relationship with the tent in the past.

For example, the opening / closing portion of the fly sheet at the entrance / exit of the tent is formed into a sheet shape and connected to the main body at the upper side, and has a function as a fly sheet door when closed and uses a pole or the like when opened. It is generally provided that it is constructed so as to also have a function as a simple tarp by stretching. In addition, it is a single tarp, one end of which is attached to an independent pole or the like and the other end of the pole is shared with the tent. It is known to provide space.

Further, since the fly sheet is intended for waterproofing, it has poor air permeability, and it is usual to provide a ventilation means by providing a mesh portion on the opening / closing portion or the wall surface. The ventilation means is provided with a cover for the purpose of making the inside of the tent invisible by flooding due to rainfall.

The conventional vent hole cover is constructed by connecting a cylindrical vent hole cover made of a cloth to a circular vent hole and squeezing the opening portion with a string passed through the opening end, or a square shape. Attach a sheet-shaped vent cover to the vent of
Some were configured to open and close by rolling up or unfolding.

[0007]

However, in the tent with the simple tarp function described above, since the tarp is only a fly-seat door, it fulfills the function of covering the original fly-seat canopy at night or during rainfall. There is a need. Therefore, in those cases, it is necessary to recover the tarp construction, and it is not possible to cover the dwelling equipment in the anterior chamber. If you use a separate tarp, you do not need to collect it at night or during rain, but since it is a separate body, you have to handle it separately from the tent body,
It is necessary to set up and remove the canopy, fly sheet, and tarp.

Further, it is desirable that the cover of the ventilation means be constructed so as to ensure the ventilation while preventing water from entering. For that purpose, it is necessary that the cover has a shape like an eaves. The cylindrical vent hole cover in the above-mentioned conventional example can have a three-dimensional structure because it is formed of canvas having a relatively high rigidity, but recent fly sheets are made of synthetic fiber that is lightweight and excellent in waterproofness. Since it is used, it is highly flexible and it is difficult to have a three-dimensional structure. The above-mentioned sheet-shaped vent hole cover also loses air permeability when closed to prevent water infiltration.

[0009]

A typical structure of a fly sheet according to the present invention for solving the above problems is as follows.
A fly sheet arranged outside a canopy in a camping tent, at least one surface of which is composed of two or more sheets, and the inner sheet of the two or more sheets is the fly sheet. The door is connected to form the fly sheet, and at least one of the sheets arranged outside is stretched to form a tarp.

Further, it is desirable to provide one or a plurality of grommet holes near the connecting portion between the fly sheet and the tarp.

With the above construction, the ease of installation and installation on the canopy is secured, and the original function of the fly against condensation and rain is secured, while at the same time the living space of the anterior chamber as a living room and It is possible to cover the dwelling equipment from condensation at night.

Another fly sheet according to the present invention is
A fly sheet arranged on the outside of a canopy in a camping tent, comprising a vent hole provided on a wall surface of the fly sheet and a cover attached to the outside of the vent hole. The elastic member is attached along the end of the open portion.

Further, it is desirable to provide a pair of locking members at one or a plurality of predetermined positions on the surfaces of the fly sheet wall surface and the end portion of the cover which face each other.

[0014]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a tent using a fly sheet according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a vent hole cover provided on a wall surface of the fly sheet, and FIG.
Shown in is a view in which the opening of the vent hole cover is locked.

As shown in FIG. 1, the tent A shown in this embodiment is a so-called dome type tent, which is constructed by arranging a canopy 9 inside and a fly sheet 1 outside.
Connection parts (not shown) for passing poles are provided at a plurality of positions on the outer surface of the canopy 9, and two main poles 6 and two poles 7 are connected to the connection parts. Each of the poles is curved and the ends thereof are locked to the pegs 8 to form a three-dimensional structure to form a tent frame.

The fly sheet 1 is formed in a dome shape like the canopy 9, and is attached to the outside of the canopy 9 by covering the canopy 9 and connecting its ends to pegs 8 at several places.

The front surface of the fly sheet 1, that is, the canopy 9
The surface facing the doorway 9a of the door is 2 of the tarp 2 and the door 3.
It is composed of one sheet. The door 3 is composed of one sheet, and is connected to the fly sheet 1 at its upper side. The left and right sides of the door 3 can be attached to and detached from the main body of the fly sheet 1 by fasteners, and the front surface can be opened by winding and holding the fly sheet 1 with a wheel stopper or a rubber band. In the present embodiment, both functions of a wheel stopper and a rubber band are processed in order to cope with any outdoor use.

The tarp 2 is a seat arranged outside the door 3, and like the door 3, the fly seat 1 is on the upper side.
It is connected by sewing to. The width of the tarp 2 is substantially equal to that of the door 3, and the length thereof is longer than that of the door 3.
The lower side is extended to the front of the tent A and attached to the pole 10 to form an eaves. At this time, it is desirable that the tarp 2 be inclined so that water droplets do not collect in the rain.
The height of 10 is set higher than the connecting portion between the tarp 2 and the fly sheet 1.

Like the door 3, the tarp 2 can be held by a wheel stopper or a rubber band when not in use and can be stored therein. When the tarp 2 is stored, the fly sheet 1 becomes a conventional fly sheet. It can be treated similarly.

Several grommet holes 4 are provided near the boundary between the fly sheet 1 and the tarp 2. By the grommet hole 4, it is possible to release the wind when the wind is strong and reduce the fly sheet from being hit, and it is also possible to erect a pole in the grommet hole 4 to reinforce the fly sheet if necessary. The grommet hole 4 has a lid (not shown), and is closed by the lid to prevent water from entering when it rains.

As shown in FIG. 2, a ventilation hole 5c is provided on the wall surface of the fly sheet 1, and a ventilation hole cover 5 is attached so as to cover the ventilation hole 5c. The ventilation hole 5c is formed by attaching a mesh member to the opening provided on the wall surface of the fly sheet 1, and is intended to ventilate the inside of the tent. Further, the shape of the vent hole cover 5 is a triangular pyramid having an opening at the bottom, and is configured so that rain does not enter the vent hole 5c even during rainfall.

An elastic member 5a is attached to the edge of the opening of the vent hole cover 5. The elastic member 5a is made of sponge and has appropriate elasticity and flexibility. Therefore, the three-dimensional shape can be maintained even though the vent hole cover 5 is a sheet of highly flexible synthetic fiber.

Further, a locking member 5b made of a velvet fastener is provided near the inner side of the vent hole cover 5 and on the outer surface of the fly sheet 1 so as to face each other. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the opening area of the opening of the vent hole cover 5 can be reduced by attaching the locking member 5b. As a result, it is possible to reduce the amount of high-humidity outside air, night air, and the like flowing into the tent during a rain or at night without sealing.

In the above embodiment, the tarp 2 is shown connected to the fly sheet 1 by sewing, but a holding method other than sewing, for example, a fastener, a hook, a magic tape or the like may be used. Further, although the width of the tarp 2 is shown to be substantially equal to the width of the door 3, it may be formed wider to enhance the function, or may be formed narrower for simplification. Further, although the tarp is formed in a rectangular shape, it may be formed in, for example, a trapezoid whose width becomes wider or narrower toward the tip, or a triangle in an extreme case. Although the grommet hole is provided on the fly sheet side in FIG. 1, the grommet hole may be provided near the boundary between the tarp and the fly sheet, and may be provided on the tarp.

The elastic member provided at the end of the opening of the vent hole cover may be rubber or wire other than sponge as long as it has a shape restoring ability. A hook, a hook, or the like may be used as the locking member of the vent hole cover, or the locking members may be provided at two or more places depending on the size of the vent hole cover.

Although the side of the tarp opposite to the fly sheet is supported by a pole, it may be attached to a passenger car or a stand other than the pole, or may be fixed to the ground by a peg.

[0027]

As described above, in the fly sheet according to the present invention, since the tarp is integrally attached, the fly sheet can be easily set up and withdrawn. In addition, at the time of rainfall or at night, it is possible to cover the living space of the anterior chamber while closing the door, and to secure the original function of the fly and at the same time to protect the living tools placed in the living space from rain and condensation at night. Can be protected.

Further, by constructing the vent hole cover as described above, the vent hole cover can easily have a three-dimensional structure, and the opening area thereof can be appropriately reduced at night or during rain. .
