Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a tent device that can be easily assembled and put away.

Generally, a conventional tent device is composed of a pole, a beam, and a canopy. When in use, the above-mentioned pillars are erected on the ground, each pillar is connected by beams to form a frame, and the frame is then assembled by covering the frame with a canopy. Therefore, when it is used, it requires work such as assembling the frame and putting on the canopy, which requires a lot of effort and is extremely inconvenient. Also, when cleaning up, you have to remove the top and disassemble the frame, which is the same as when assembling, so it takes a lot of time.

Furthermore, conventional tent devices have the inconvenience of not being able to be installed in places where the ground is muddy, or where the ground is too soft or too hard to reliably assemble the frame. It was hot.

In order to solve such problems, the applicant has filed Japanese Patent Application No. 58-123491 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 60-16675).
We are proposing the tent device shown in This tent device consists of a pair of box-like bodies whose one ends are rotatably connected to each other, and a case that can be folded with the inner surfaces of the box-like bodies facing each other, and one end of the box-like body. A support member provided on the inner surface side of the section, a frame bar whose end portion is rotatably supported by the support member, and a peripheral edge portion on the inner surface side excluding one end portion where the peripheral edge portion is connected to the pair of box-shaped bodies. and a hood connected to the frame bar and provided to cover the frame bar. According to this structure, when the case consisting of a pair of box-shaped bodies is opened, it can be used as a tent device, and when it is closed, it can be put away. It is very convenient because it does not require much work, and it has the advantage that it can be used in any place where a pair of box-shaped bodies can be unfolded.

By the way, in a tent device having such a structure, when the pair of box-like bodies are closed and not in use, it is necessary to prevent rainwater from entering the inside from between the joint surfaces of these box-like bodies. Therefore, a coupling member having a packing portion is provided on the inner peripheral edge of each box-like body, and when the pair of box-like bodies are closed, the packing portions of each box-like body are pressed against each other to provide waterproof properties. However, if the packing part is damaged or deteriorates due to long-term use, the waterproofness of the packing part will be impaired, so it is difficult to prevent rainwater from entering the inside of the box-shaped body. It disappears. Even if the waterproofness of the packing part is impaired, the periphery of the hood is connected to the inner periphery of the pair of box-shaped bodies, except for one end where they are rotatably connected. This can prevent rainwater from further infiltrating, but since the canopy is not connected to the one end, the rainwater that has entered from this part will flow into the inside of the box-shaped body without being blocked in any way. There was a fear.

This invention was made based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to fold the case, which consists of a pair of box-shaped bodies whose ends are rotatably connected to each other, so that when the case is folded, the pair of box-shaped bodies To provide a tent device which prevents rainwater from entering from one end of the tent whose body is rotatably connected.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 in FIG. 1 is a case. This case 1 is composed of a pair of box-shaped bodies 2. This box-shaped body 2 is formed of synthetic resin or the like into a rectangular shape with a large number of reinforcing beads 3, and the edge of its peripheral wall has a stepped portion extending around the entire circumference, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. 4 is formed. A reinforcing frame 5 formed into a rectangular tube shape and made of a material such as aluminum is attached to the step portion 4. As shown in FIG. One side wall of the pair of box-like bodies 2 is rotatably connected by a hinge 6 as shown in FIG. 5, and the pair of box-like bodies 2 is closed on the other side wall as shown in FIG. Sometimes a plurality of stops 7 are provided which connect the two.

As shown in FIG. 3, the reinforcing frame 5 is provided inside one end of one box-like body 2 of the case 1 formed in this manner, that is, on both sides of the connecting end with the other box-like body 2.
A mounting plate 8 is provided horizontally and is fixed to.
A support member 9 is provided upright on this mounting plate 8 .
One end portions of a plurality of, for example three, support pipes 10 are rotatably connected to this support member 9 by a support shaft 11. Both ends of a frame bar 12 bent into a character shape are slidably inserted into each pair of corresponding support pipes 10 on both sides of one box-shaped body 2. In addition, the support pipe 10
A spring 13 is installed inside to elastically support both ends of the beam 12.

A canopy 14 is placed over the frame bar 12. This canopy 14 is made of a bag-like sheet 15 made by waterproofing canvas or other cloth and sewing this cloth into a bag-like shape, and a sheet similar to the bag-like sheet 15 that is folded in half and one side of the inside connected to the sheet. 1
6. It is formed of a waterproof sheet part 17 whose other side on the outside is longer than one side, and a peripheral sheet 18 whose folded part is sewn to the inner surface of the peripheral part of the bag-shaped sheet 15. The peripheral edge portion of the connecting sheet portion 16 is connected to the end portions of the other side walls of the pair of box-like bodies 2, excluding the mutually connected one side wall, via a connecting member 19. That is, the coupling member 19 is molded from an elastic material such as rubber or synthetic resin, and as shown in FIG. It has a tongue piece 21 and a second tongue piece 22. The lower surface of this second tongue piece 22 is formed into a rough surface 22a.
In the connecting member 19 having such a structure, the first tongue piece 21 is joined to the outer peripheral surface of the box-shaped body 2 via the sealing material 23, and the second tongue piece 22 is joined to the upper surface of the reinforcing frame 5. . The first tongue piece 21 is clamped and fixed by a first holding plate 24 that is joined to the outer surface and attached to the box-shaped body 2 with screws 23a, and the second
The tongue piece 22 is clamped and fixed by a second holding plate 25 which is joined to this outer surface and attached to the reinforcing frame 5 with screws 23a. The peripheral edge of the connecting sheet portion 16 is fixed to the second tongue piece 22 by means such as sewing or gluing. Therefore, when the pair of box-like bodies 2 of the case 1 is opened and unfolded almost horizontally, the hood 14 is supported by the frame bar 12 and stretched above the inner surfaces of the pair of box-like bodies 2. be done. At this time, the middle part of the frame bar 12 is provided on the inner surface of the canopy 14 as shown in FIG. The connecting portion 26 is inserted into a loop-shaped connecting portion 26 . Furthermore, when the canopy 14 is stretched, the frame bar 12
compresses the spring 13 built into the support pipe 10, and the restoring force of the spring 13 urges the frame bar 12 in the direction of protruding from the support pipe 10, so that the canopy 14 is stretched without sagging. Ru. Then, when the hood 14 is stretched in this way,
A waterproof sheet section 17 that is longer than the connecting sheet section 16 and located on the outside hangs down to cover the outer periphery of the box-shaped body 2. Although not shown, the hood 14 is provided with an entrance/exit that can be opened and closed with a fastener or the like.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a waterproof sheet 27 is provided on the inner surface of one rotatably connected end of the pair of box-shaped bodies 2 over the entire length of the one end in the longitudinal direction. ing. That is, one end of the waterproof sheet 27 in the width direction is fixed to the second tongue piece 22 of the connecting member 19 of one box-shaped body 2 by means such as sewing or gluing, and the other end is fixed to the second tongue piece 22 of the connecting member 19 of one box-shaped body 2. 2 connecting member 19
The second tongue piece 22 is fixedly provided. Further, both longitudinal ends of the waterproof sheet 27 are fixed to the inner surface of the connecting sheet portion 16 of the canopy 14.

According to the tent device configured in this way, the tent device can be installed by opening the pair of box-like bodies 2 of the case 1 and deploying them horizontally, and by closing the pair of box-like bodies 2, the tent device can be installed. Tent equipment can be put away. Therefore, the tent device can be installed and cleaned up by simply opening and closing the box-like body 2. Further, when installing the tent device, it is sufficient to simply unfold the pair of box-like bodies 2, so that it can be installed anywhere as long as the box-like bodies 2 can be unfolded. Furthermore, since this tent device becomes the case 1 when not in use, it is easy to transport by car or the like.

By the way, when the above tent device is used, when the pair of box-shaped bodies 2 are unfolded and the canopy 14 is stretched, the waterproof sheet portion 17 on the outside of the peripheral sheet 18 covers the outer peripheral surface of the box-shaped bodies 2. Therefore, on rainy days, hood 1
4 flows along the waterproof sheet part 17, and this waterproof sheet part 17 prevents the rainwater from splashing on the connecting part between the connecting sheet part 16 and the connecting member 19, so that the rainwater flows from this connecting part. will not leak and enter the box-shaped body 2.

Further, when the pair of box-like bodies 2 are closed and not in use, that is, when the case 1 is being transported, rainwater may spray onto the case 1. In such a case,
There is a risk that rainwater may enter between the joint surfaces of the pair of box-like bodies 2, but since the connecting member 19 is provided on the inner peripheral edge of the box-like body 2 and the packing parts 20 are in pressure contact with each other. This prevents rainwater from entering. If the packing part 20 is damaged,
If it deteriorates due to long-term use, rainwater may seep in. However, packing part 2
Even if rainwater infiltrates from the top, the connection sheet portion 16 of the hood 14 is connected to the connecting member 19 provided on the inner peripheral edge of the box-like bodies 2, except for one end where the pair of box-like bodies 2 are connected to each other. Since these are connected, the connecting sheet portion 16 prevents rainwater from flowing into the box-shaped body 2. Furthermore, since a waterproof sheet 27 is provided at one end of the pair of box-shaped bodies 2 that are connected to each other, both ends of which are connected to the connecting member 19 of this part, this waterproof sheet 27 allows rainwater to flow inside the box-shaped bodies 2. This will prevent the inflow into the

Further, in the coupling member 19 provided around the opening surface of the box-like body 2, the first tongue piece 21 is joined to the outer peripheral surface of the box-like body 2 via the sealing material 23, and the second tongue piece 22 is joined to the upper surface of the reinforcing frame 5. The first tongue piece 21 is clamped and fixed between the first holding plate 24 and the outer peripheral surface of the box-shaped body 2, and the second tongue piece 22 is fixed between the second holding plate 25 and the upper surface of the reinforcing frame 5. Since they are clamped and fixed, the first and second tongue pieces 21 and 22 are in a liquid-tight state with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the box-shaped body 2 and the upper surface of the reinforcing frame 5, respectively. Therefore, even if rainwater falls on the case 1 when the case 1 is not in use, the rainwater will not enter into the box-like body 2 through the joint between the coupling member 19 and the box-like body 2.

As described above, this invention connects one end of a pair of box-like bodies so as to be rotatable, and by unfolding this pair of box-like bodies, the peripheral edge portion touches one end of the pair of box-like bodies. In a tent device in which a canopy is stretched so as to cover a pair of box-like bodies, the canopy is connected to the inner peripheral edge of the pair of box-like bodies, and both ends in the width direction are connected to the inner side of one end of the pair of box-like bodies. A waterproof sheet was provided by connecting both ends in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, even if rainwater enters between the joint surfaces of the box-like bodies when the pair of box-like bodies are closed and not in use, the waterproof sheet at one end of the box-like bodies prevents the rainwater from entering the box-like bodies. Rainwater is prevented from flowing into the interior, and the canopy prevents rainwater from flowing into other areas. In other words, even if it rains when not in use, the interior of the pair of box-shaped bodies of this case will not leak from rainwater.
