Of frame of automatic tent which we can maintain and tent employing the same to be.

In general, a special tent called a canopy tent among various tents used in camping and the like may be referred to as a new concept tent that can be quickly and conveniently installed and dismantled.

Such canopy tents are also commonly used as folding tents or bellows tents. This can be referred to as an automatic tent that enhances the user's convenience by completing the installation and dismantling in a short time by simply unfolding or folding the tent in the installation place.

There are many kinds of such automatic tents, but a description will be given of a conventional automatic tent, which can be installed and dismantled by taking an operation similar to a double umbrella.

1 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of a conventional automatic tent frame, Figure 2 is a front view showing an example of a state taken when the frame of the conventional automatic tent to achieve the installation of the tent, Figure 3 is a conventional automatic tent The front view which shows an example of the state which a frame takes when dismantling a tent.

As shown in the figure, a plurality of upper connection poles 1 are radially connected to the upper part, a stopper 20 is installed and fixed to the lower part, and the tent 30 shown in FIG. A connecting member 12 which is integrally provided with a connecting tool 14 capable of connecting the connecting string 31, which is connected to the uppermost center of the upper and lower center parts of the upper and lower center parts thereof;

The connecting member 12 is connected to the upper and lower so as to make the lower and lower, but the outer periphery of the upper connecting pole (1) which is installed radially connected to the hinge (2) forming a hinged connection to achieve rotation A sliding member (16) having a plurality of connections therebetween;

Is inserted into the connecting member 12 is configured to include an elastic spring 18 to support the sliding member 16 and the connecting member 12 to form a predetermined gap when the tent is installed.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, the operation state of the conventional automatic tent is configured as described above are as follows.

2 is a front view showing an example of a state taken when the frame of the conventional automatic tent when the installation of the tent, Figure 3 is a front view showing an example of a state taken when the frame of the conventional automatic tent achieves the dismantling of the tent to be.

First, a case of folding and dismantling the tent 30 is as follows.

The lower portion of the upper connecting pole 1 located in a diagonal direction among the upper connecting poles 1 is wound up by the user forcibly moved inward. Accordingly, the lower portion of all the upper connection poles 1 are folded downward.

Then, when the lower part of the upper connecting pole 1 is folded inward, the lower part of the lower connecting pole 3 is connected to the upper connecting pole 1 so as to be rotated to the lower side. Move it and fold it. Accordingly, the dismantling of the tent 30 is completed. (See FIG. 3).

At this time, the sliding member 16 which is connected to the connecting member 12 so as to make the rising and lowering is pushed by the support 2 which is connected to the upper connecting pole 1 so as to rotate by a predetermined distance. Lifting to the upper portion of the connecting member 12 is made.

In this process, the sliding member 16 rising and lowering upward is forced to compress the elastic spring 18 that is connected to the outer upper portion of the connecting member 12.

Next, the case of expanding the tent 30 in the dismantled state as described above will be described.

The user is forced to move the lower part of the lower connection pole 3 which is folded to contact the upper connection pole 1 and downward, and then the user winds up the lower part of the upper connection pole 1 located in a diagonal direction to force the user. Move up. Accordingly, all of the upper connection poles 1 are automatically unfolded by the elastic restoring force of the elastic spring 18 at a certain point in time. Therefore, it is possible to achieve the installation of the tent 30 (see Fig. 2).

At this time, the sliding member 16 which is connected to the connection member 12 to make the rise and fall, is pushed by the elastic spring 18 to the lower to push the support (2) while pushing the plurality of upper connection poles (1) It spreads out everything.

On the other hand, at the time when the installation is completed by unfolding the tent 30, the user applies an artificial force to the sliding member 16 to press. Accordingly, the sliding member 16 is lowered to a predetermined bottom by the force transmitted by the user and the holding force of the elastic spring 18.

Accordingly, the outer side of the support 2 forms a slope that takes a position higher than the inner height of the support 2 which is connected to the sliding member 16. By forming such a slope, the entire frame 10 is locked. Therefore, even when the external impact energy is transmitted to the tent 30, it is possible to maintain the state of the frame 10 that extends the tent 30.

The conventional automatic tent has the advantage that the installation of the tent can be quickly and easily and the effect of simplifying the structure of the frame constituting the tent. However, there is a problem that the resilience of the elastic spring is gradually reduced due to the repeated installation and dismantling operation at the same time as the configuration is added due to the adoption of the elastic spring (18), without a separate locking device of the support (2) As the locking of the frame 10 depends only on the inclination and the elastic spring force, there is a problem in that the tent dismantles itself (folding of the tent) upon the action of a strong external force.

In addition, the conventional automatic tent, there is a disadvantage that can use a spring with a strong elastic force because it acts as a single spring, because the support is connected to the sliding member and the upper connecting pole without a buffering action, the user is damaged when a strong external force There was also a problem that could cause injury.

Therefore, to solve the various problems of the conventional automatic tent described above, Utility Model Registration No. 0344232 (the name of the design: the frame of the automatic umbrella canopy tent), which employs an elastic spring as in the prior art. , As a separate locking device is configured, there is a problem that the configuration is complicated, there is a problem inconvenient for the user by artificially operating or releasing the locking device.

The present invention has been made in order to improve the conventional problems as described above, coupled to the sliding member and the upper connecting pole, the operation to expand or fold the upper connecting pole radially in accordance with the lifting and lowering operation of the sliding member. By configuring the support to be movable along the upper connection pole, the tent can be installed easily and quickly and can be easily dismantled, and the frame of the automatic tent which is relatively inexpensive when the tent is installed, and The purpose is to provide a tent that has been adopted.

In addition, the present invention provides a frame of an automatic tent and a tent employing the same to ensure that the entire lock of the frame is automatically secured without the adoption of a separate locking device to maintain the installation state of the tent even under the action of a strong external force.
