Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a rear tent for a vehicle that is stretched over the rear portion of a vehicle such as a one-box car.

Recently, it has become popular to use a one-box car as a camping car, such as a camping car that also serves as a drive, but in order to expand the living space at the destination, it is often necessary to connect a rear tent to the rear of the vehicle. Rear tents for vehicles are also becoming popular. This rear tent is composed of an arch-shaped frame and an arch-shaped tent sheet, and the opening at one end of the tent sheet is fitted into the rear part of the vehicle.
The edge of the opening is wound and fixed around the rear part with a binding band. Therefore, when the rear door is opened, the inside of the car and the inside of the tent can be freely communicated, increasing the living space, and since the car also serves as reinforcement for the tent, it can withstand strong winds.

However, since conventional rear tents only have a tie band around the opening edge, even if the tie band is wrapped around the rear of the vehicle and tied, the outer peripheral surface of the vehicle, that is, the body, is not limited to a smooth surface. At the same time, the unevenness of the window frame and the like creates a gap between the opening edge of the rear tent and the vehicle. Therefore, wind and rain may enter the tent through this gap, and if particularly strong winds enter the tent, there is a risk that the tent sheet will be blown away by wind pressure from its inner surface.

This idea was developed with the above-mentioned circumstances in mind, and its purpose is to provide an elastic body integrally with the opening edge of the rear tent so that the opening edge of the rear tent can be installed in close contact with the rear part of the vehicle. To provide a rear tent for a vehicle which can prevent wind and rain from entering even if there are irregularities in the rear part of the vehicle without creating a gap.

This invention will be explained below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a vehicle such as a one-box car, and 2 is a rear tent.
The vehicle 1 is equipped with kitchen utensils, a table, a bed, etc. in the interior 3 of the vehicle so that it can be used as a camping car, and a rear door 5 is provided in the rear portion 4 of the vehicle 1. The rear tent 2 has an arch-shaped frame 8 consisting of a plurality of arch-shaped columns 6 and beams 7 that connect these columns 6 at predetermined intervals, and is covered by this frame 8. It is composed of a tent sheet 9. The tent sheet 9 is made of waterproof fabric, and has a window 10 on its side and an entrance 11 on its front. The tent sheet 9 is open on the side opposite to the entrance 11, and the opening 12 is formed in a size that allows it to fit into the rear section 4 of the vehicle 1. Furthermore, an elastic body 14 is attached to the opening edge 13 of the tent sheet 9 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
are integrated. This elastic body 14 is made by folding a flexible plastic band-shaped sheet 14a in half along its longitudinal direction.
b, 14b are formed by interposing the edge of the tent sheet 9 and adhering or welding them together, and there is an elastic layer 14 made of urethane foam inside.
c is formed. The plastic sheet 14a is closed at both ends of the tent sheet 9. On the outside of this elastic body 14, a plurality of belt loop pieces 1 are provided at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction.
6... are attached, and one binding band 17 is inserted through these band passing pieces 16... along the elastic body 14. A stopper 18 is attached to the base end of the binding band 17, so that the distal end 19 of the binding band 17 can be inserted into the slit 20 of the stopper 18 and then tied.

Therefore, when attaching the rear tent 2 to the vehicle 1, first assemble the frame 8 of the rear tent 2 behind the parked vehicle 1, and then
is covered so that its opening 12 faces the rear portion 4 of the vehicle 1. Next, the rear section 4 of the vehicle 1 is fitted into the opening 12 of the tent sheet 9, and the elastic body 14 provided at the edge 13 of the opening is attached to the body of the rear section 4. Then, the binding band 17 inserted along the outer periphery of the elastic body 14 is made to go around the rear part 4 once, and the tip end 19 of the binding band 17 is inserted through the slit 20 of the stopper 18, and after tensioning, the binding band is fixed. .
In this way, the rear tent 2 is attached to the rear part 4 of the vehicle 1.
When the tent sheets 9 are connected, since the outer periphery of the elastic body 14 is tensioned by the binding band 17, the elastic body 14 expands inward, that is, in the direction of the outer circumferential surface of the body of the rear portion 4, and comes into close contact with the elastic body 14. Moreover, the elastic body 1
4 is flexible, so even if there is an uneven part on the body of the rear part 4, it will follow the shape of the uneven part and come into close contact with the vehicle 1, so that there will be no gap between the vehicle 1 and the tent seat 9, and wind and rain will be able to protect the tent seat. There is no risk of intrusion into 9.

As explained above, in this invention, since the elastic body is integrated with the opening edge of the rear tent, by wrapping and fixing the opening edge of the rear tent around the rear part of the vehicle with a tie band, the elastic body can be attached to the vehicle body. Even if there are irregularities on the body, it will follow the shape of the irregularities and adhere closely, without creating any gaps. Therefore, wind and rain do not enter the rear tent, and the rear tent can be easily and firmly connected to the vehicle.
