Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a tent device that can be easily assembled and put away.

Generally, conventional tent systems consist of posts, beams, and a canopy. When in use, the above-mentioned pillars are erected on the ground, and each pillar is connected with beams to form a framework.
The frame is then assembled by covering it 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.

Further, conventional tent devices have the inconvenience of not being able to be installed in areas where the ground is muddy, or in areas where the ground is too soft or too hard to ensure that the frame can be reliably assembled.

The present invention was made based on the above circumstances, and
The purpose is to provide a tent device that is easy to assemble and clean up, and that can be installed and used even in somewhat muddy locations, where the ground is soft, or where the ground is too hard. .

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described 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 has many reinforcing beads 3 made of synthetic resin or the like.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a stepped portion 4 is formed at the end of the peripheral wall over the entire circumference. 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. 2, 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.

Inside one end of one box-like body 2 of the case 1 thus formed, that is, on both sides of the connecting end with the other box-like body 2, the reinforcing frame 5 is fixed as shown in FIG. A mounting plate 8 is provided horizontally. 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 U-shape are slidably inserted into each pair of corresponding support pipes 10 on both sides of one box-shaped body 2. Further, a spring 13 is installed inside the support pipe 10, and the frame bar 12
Both ends are elastically supported.

A canopy 14 is placed over the frame bar 12. This hood 14 is made by applying waterproof treatment to a fabric such as canvas, and sewing this fabric into a bag shape.
The peripheral edge of the opening is connected via a connecting member 15 to the ends of the other side walls of the pair of box-shaped bodies 2, excluding the mutually connected one side wall. This connecting member 15
is molded from an elastic material such as rubber or synthetic resin, and has a hollow cylindrical packing part 16 and a pair of tongue pieces 17 extending from the packing part 16. In this coupling member 15, a pair of tongue pieces 17 are fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the box-shaped body 2, which is the outer surface side of the reinforcing frame 5, and the upper surface thereof, which is the upper surface side, respectively, and the packing part 16 is positioned on the upper surface of the reinforcing frame 5. are doing. The peripheral edge of the canopy 14 is fixed to one of the tongues 17 located on the upper surface side of the reinforcing frame 5 by sewing, gluing, or the like. Therefore, case 1
When the pair of box-shaped bodies 2 are 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-shaped bodies 2. Further, at this time, the intermediate portion of each frame bar 12 is connected to the hood 1 so that the frame bar 12 rotates in conjunction with the hood 14 stretched as the box-like body 2 is expanded.
4 is inserted into a loop-shaped connecting portion 18 provided on the inner surface of the tube. Furthermore, when the canopy 14 is stretched,
Since the frame bar 12 compresses the spring 13 built into the support pipe 10, the restoring force of the spring 13 biases the frame bar 12 in the direction of protruding from the support pipe 10, so that the hood 14 does not sag. It will be stretched. Furthermore, when the pair of box-like bodies 2 are closed, the packing portion 16 of the coupling member 15 ensures the liquid tightness between the box-like bodies 2.

Although not shown in the figures, the hood 14 is provided with an entrance that can be opened and closed using a fastener or the like.

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. In other words,
Since the unfolded pair of box-shaped bodies 2 serve as floorboards, even if the ground is somewhat muddy, soft, or too hard, the tent device can be installed without being restricted by these conditions. Furthermore, since this tent device becomes the case 1 when not in use, it is easy to transport by car or the like.

As described above, according to the present invention, the case consisting of a pair of box-like bodies connected to each other so as to be openable and closable can be used as a tent device when opened, and can be put away when closed. Therefore, it is very convenient because it does not involve complicated and time-consuming work during use and cleanup. Furthermore, since it can be used in any place where the pair of box-shaped bodies can be opened and expanded, there are no restrictions on the installation location. In addition, since the connecting member is provided on the reinforcing frame, the packing part of the connecting member maintains liquid tightness when the pair of box-shaped bodies are closed, and prevents rainwater from entering the inside. Since the peripheral edge of the top is bonded and fixed to one of the tongues of the connecting member, the top can be reliably and well connected to the box-shaped body.
Furthermore, the connecting member has a pair of tongue pieces, one of which is fixed to the upper surface of the reinforcing frame, and the other to the outer peripheral surface of the reinforcing frame. A liquid-tight seal is maintained between the box-shaped body and rainwater can be prevented from penetrating into the box-shaped body.
