DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air-inflatable tent with a hood, and more particularly, to a conventional air-inflatable tent, in which a hood is attached to the entrance of the tent to undress wet clothes outside the tent. The present invention relates to an air-inflatable tent with a hood, which makes it possible to prevent dirt and rain from getting inside the tent main body and to make effective use of space in the tent main body.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, an air-expandable tent, which is expanded into a squamous or hemispherical shape by being filled with air, that is, an air tent, is used in many places. For example, it is used as a temporary storage place for casualties and rescue workers during disasters, as a temporary storage at construction sites, and as a venue for various events and local festivals. However, in a conventional air-inflatable tent, since the front, rear, left and right entrances are of a hoisting type, they can enter and exit freely, but during rainfall,
(1) When the tent is rolled up, rain tends to enter the inside, and the inside may get wet, which may hinder various activities. (2) Closing the zipper around the tent,
There is a risk that rain will come in at the time of opening and closing the fastener when entering and exiting. (3) When entering the inside of the tent with clothes or footwear wet, the inside becomes dirty with muddy water of the footwear and needs to be cleaned each time. (4) A corner inside the tent is occupied by wet clothes or footwear, and the space that can be effectively used is reduced.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems in the conventional inflatable tent, and makes it possible to take off wet clothes and footwear outside the inflatable tent and to remove the inside of the tent. To eliminate dirt and rain
The purpose is to enable the effective use of space in the tent.

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of diligent studies to achieve the above object, the present inventor has attached a hood having a specific structure to the entrance and exit of a conventional inflatable tent with a zipper. The inventor found that the object could be achieved by entering and exiting the tent body through the hood and removing wet clothes and footwear in the hood, and based on this finding, completed the present invention. That is, the present invention provides (1) an air inflatable tent comprising a plurality of vertical air columns, horizontal air columns, and sheets which are spread in a desired shape by being filled with air, and which is projected around an entrance / exit portion of the tent. Hood that is detachably connected to the connecting portion via a fastener and protrudes in a tunnel-like manner from the entrance / exit portion, and a detachable lightweight pipe support frame is provided at a front vertical end of the hood. And a hood-equipped inflatable tent. Further, according to a preferred aspect of the present invention, (2) the shape of the connecting portion projecting around the entrance / exit portion of the tent is rectangular, and the upper part of the support frame provided at the front vertical end of the hood is arch-shaped. (1) An air-inflatable tent with a hood according to (1), and (3) a fixed rope seat is provided at a top portion and a lower portion of both ends of the support frame, and the hood is fixed with a rope. 10. An inflatable tent with a hood according to the item.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An air-inflatable tent with a hood according to the present invention has a structure in which a hood is attached to an entrance / exit portion of an air-inflatable tent. In this case, a plurality of vertical air columns, horizontal air columns, and sheets spread in a desired shape by filling with air are used. The vertical air column, the horizontal air column, and the sheet are made of an air-tight fabric, and are integrated by mechanical bonding such as high-frequency welding welding or sewing. In this air inflatable tent, an entrance is usually provided before and after.
Further, one or more entrances are provided on the side as required. This entrance is generally of a roll-up type, and a curtain is usually installed at a square entrance, so that the curtain can be wound up and out. On the other hand, the hood is formed of a sheet made of an air-tight cloth, and the air-tight cloth used for the above-described air-expandable tent and the hood is not particularly limited. Preferable examples include those obtained by coating polyurethane with synthetic fibers such as nylon and polyamide fibers. In the hood-equipped inflatable tent according to the present invention, the hood is detachably connected via a fastener to a connecting portion made of fabric protruding around the entrance / exit portion of the tent, and the hood is tunnel-shaped from the entrance / exit portion. At the front vertical end of the hood, a removable lightweight pipe support frame is provided, and further, inside the support frame of the hood, a shielding sheet having an entrance is provided. It is desirable to provide. As described above, the entrance / exit portion of the air-inflatable tent is provided with a curtain at a generally square entrance / exit, and the entrance curtain can be wound up and exited. Therefore, the shape of the connecting portion also has a generally rectangular shape with the lower side missing. Also, as a detachable lightweight pipe support frame provided at the front vertical end of the hood, an assembly type is preferable in consideration of transportability and handleability, etc.
The material is preferably made of aluminum from the viewpoint of lightness and cost. Furthermore, if the shape of the support frame is horizontal at the top, water easily accumulates on the roof of the hood, and there is a possibility that water leaks from the fastener connecting portion. Therefore, the upper portion of the support frame is desirably an arch type. .
Furthermore, as a measure against wind, fixed rope seats may be provided at the apex portion and the lower portions of both ends of the support frame, and the hood may be fixed with a rope via these fixed rope seats. In addition,
The entrance / exit portion of the shielding sheet provided inside the support frame is usually of a wind-up type as in the case of the air-expandable tent. In the present invention, the size of the hood is not particularly limited as long as there is a space that can be undressed, and usually, the height is 170 to 190 cm and the width is 180 to 200 c.
m, depth about 100-300 cm. In the hood-equipped inflatable tent of the present invention, the hood may be attached to one of the entrances and exits of the air-inflatable tent, or may be attached to a plurality of entrances and exits as needed.
