JPH10292675A - Car side awning (tarp) system without support - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the installation and housing, and to eliminate the limitation of place of installation and kind of vehicle to be provided with an awning by using several kinds of attachment fixed to a car body, and fitting removable arms so as to support the awning, and fitting the awning at various positions of a car body. SOLUTION: Arms 4 for supporting an awning 2 are fixed to a car body by attachment, and a tip of the arm 4 is formed into a hook shape, and a bar, which is fitted to a tip of the awning 2, is fixed to the tip of the arm 4. In this case, at the time of using an attachment such as a magic tape 10 and a clamp 11, the magic tape 10 receives the lateral force. The clamp 11 performs positioning and receives the vertical force, and the clamp 11 is fastened to a car body by screws. The arms 4 are arranged so as to be opened like a taper shape toward a rear part of the car body by positional relation of the attachment, and the awning 2 is formed into a trapezoidal shape. Furthermore, at the time of expanding the awning 2, the awning 2 is fixed by the clamp 11 and the bar, and the bar is hooked on the hook provided in a tip of the arm 4. With this structure, supports and stretching ropes are unnecessary, and installation and housing are facilitated, and the working space can be easily secured.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a car-side awning or a car-side tarp which is fixed to the side and front and rear of an automobile and is used as a sunshade or a rain shield.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional car side awning is provided with a box in which a awning wound in a tubular shape is stored on a roof, and the awning pulled out of the box is supported by aluminum or iron columns, and fixed with a rope. I had to. There are side awnings that do not require a leash, but they are complicated and costly. Also in that case, the support is indispensable.

[0003] With respect to the car side tarp, one end of the awning must be fixed to the roof of the automobile by using a fastener, similarly supported by a column, and fixed by a cord.

[0004] As described above, there have been many accidents in which the construction is limited to a place such as soil where a rope can be fixed, or a foot is put on the rope. Also, once it is set up, even if it is a little, you can not move the position of the car. Even if the tether could be omitted, the presence of the struts would be disadvantageous for rational use of space. In most cases, the mounting place is limited to the side of the car.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the drawbacks of a car side awning and a car side tarp used for an outdoor event such as an auto camp using a car, in which a column or a rope is indispensable. , Setup and
It offers a car-side awning and car-side tarp that is easy to store, can be installed in many places on the vehicle body, can be installed sideways or behind, and can be mounted anywhere, regardless of the installation location.

[0006]

An arm for supporting an awning is fixed to a vehicle body using an attachment as shown in FIGS. The attachment may be fixed to the vehicle body via a system carrier or the like. The arm should be about 3 meters long and can be telescopic or joinable. The tip of the arm has a hook shape to fix a bar attached to the tip of the awning.

When mounting on a low vehicle, a raised type attachment as shown in FIG. 3 is used to increase the working space. Note that this attachment is folded during traveling to suppress air resistance.

When the tent is fixed to a roof rail of a wagon or the like and the tent is extended backward, the attachment shown in FIG. 4 is used.

When attaching to the rear carrier attached to the rear gate, the attachment shown in FIG. 8 is used.

[0010] The attachment may be built into the rear gate. In that case, a tarp can be constituted only by the arm and the awning as shown in FIG.

FIG. 5 shows an attachment which is attached using a bolt inside the lamp replacement opening inside the rear gate.

FIG. 6 shows the use of a magic tape and a clamp type attachment. The velcro is only responsible for the lateral forces and the clamp is responsible for the positioning and vertical forces.

FIG. 9 shows a magnet-type attachment mounted on a roof.

[0014]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention has a basic structure in which a detachable arm is attached to an attachment fixed to a vehicle body when used, and an awning is supported therefor. By preparing several types of attachments, it can be attached to various places on the vehicle. This is a new concept tapping system.

[0015]

An embodiment using an attachment using a magic tape and a clamp will be described below with reference to the drawings. Start swinging backwards. FIG. 6 shows the attachment attachment viewed from the side. FIG. 10 is an overall view from above. 10: The magic tape portion has the female side on the vehicle body side and the male side on the arm side. The Velcro on the side of the car body has a 10 cm square object, and the arm mounting position has some flexibility. 4: The arm passes through the 11: clamp. 11: The clamp is structured to be fixed to the vehicle body with screws. The arm is open in a C-shape toward the rear of the vehicle body due to the positional relationship of the attachment. The awning is trapezoidal as shown in Fig. 1,
It is fixed by 1: clamp and 1: bar, and the bar is hooked on the hook at the end of the arm. At the side of the awning, Velcro for fixing to the arm at several places is attached, but this may not be used in some cases.

As described above, the car-side awning or the car-side tarp according to the present invention does not require any columns or tethers, so that the space can be used rationally and safely, and the installation and storage are simple. In addition, even if the height of the vehicle is low, the work space can be sufficiently secured by increasing the height, and the type of vehicle to be mounted can be selected. By preparing various attachments, it can be attached to various places of the car, and it can be deployed regardless of the terrain of the construction site.
