Description

Air pole for tent {AIR POLE FOR TENT}

The present invention relates to an air pole stand for tents, which is very simple and economical to maintain because when replacing an air valve, the stopper on which the air valve is installed can be separated from the coupling and replaced with a new stopper.

Fire hoses can largely include jacketed fire hoses and round-maintaining fire hoses.

A jacketed fire hose may have a flat shape when stored (before fire extinguishing water is used) and a circular shape when used (when filled with fire extinguishing water).

A round-retaining fire hose may have a circular cross-section both during storage and use.

As an air pole using a double-jacketed fire hose, a known one is disclosed in, for example, a patent document (Korean Patent No. 10-2182585).

The jacketed fire hose is not only excellent for maintaining the original shape of the tent as it can pressurize at a higher pressure than a regular air pole. Durability can be significantly improved by using a jacketed fire hose coated with polyurethane on the inside and a secondary finish with fabric on the outside.

In the air pole for tents in the patent document, circular couplings may be installed on both ends of the jacket fire hose, and a stopper may be fastened to block the ends of the circular couplings.

Additionally, an air valve is installed on one of the circular couplings at both ends, and air can be injected or exhausted into the interior through the air valve.

However, since the air valve is installed in the circular coupling, one entire air pole must be replaced when replacing the air valve. This is because the jacketed fire hose is made of an integrated tube that is expanded and fixed to the inner circumferential surface of the circular coupling.

In addition, the air can be quickly exhausted by opening the fastening hole of the stopper with a tool, but not only is the tool absolutely necessary, but the air exhaust hole suddenly widens, which can cause danger, such as blowing off the stopper due to great pressure.

Korean Patent No. 10-2182585

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an air pole for a tent that is economical and has a very simple maintenance of the air valve.

In order to achieve the above-described object, the air pole for a tent of the present invention includes a jacket hose, first and second couplings installed at both ends of the jacket hose, and fastened to the ends of the first and second couplings. It may include first and second stoppers, and an air valve installed on one of the first and second stoppers.

In the tent air pole stand of the present invention, one of the first and second stoppers includes a fastening stopper fastened to one of the first and second couplings, and a knob protruding outward from the end surface of the fastening stopper. and the air valve may be installed on a side of the knob.

In the tent air pole stand of the present invention, a groove is formed on the side of the knob, and a rubber cap is further installed on the knob, wherein the rubber cap includes an end rubber cap surrounding the end surface of the knob, and the end rubber cap. A side rubber cap that protrudes vertically from the edge and surrounds the side of the knob, a protruding rubber cap that protrudes inward from the end of the side rubber cap and fits into the groove, and a rubber cap that protrudes upward from one side of the side rubber cap. It may include a hollow protruding rubber cap surrounding the outer circumference of the air valve.

In the tent air pole of the present invention, the air valve includes a male threaded valve body fastened to a female threaded hole formed in either the first or second plug, extending outward from the male threaded valve body, and the female threaded hole. It includes a valve body caught on the valve body, a check valve installed inside the valve body, a valve cover wrapped around the check valve and fastened to the valve body, and an exhaust hole formed in the male threaded valve body in the diametric direction, The hollow protruding rubber cap may surround the outer peripheral surface of the valve body.

According to the tent air pole of the present invention, the following effects are achieved.

By installing an air valve on the stopper fastened to the end of the coupling fixed to both ends of the hose, when replacing the air valve, you only need to remove the stopper and replace it with a stopper with a new air valve installed. Therefore, it is excellent in terms of maintenance and economics because there is no need to replace the entire air pole as before.

A knob is formed that protrudes outward from the end surface of the fastening plug fastened to the coupling, making fastening/disconnection convenient without tools.

Additionally, by installing the air valve on the side of the knob, the air valve can minimize interference with the surrounding area when installing the air pole.

By installing the air valve on the side of the knob, interference with tent installation or other parts can be minimized.

By covering the knob and air valve with a rubber cap, you can prevent the air valve or knob from tearing the tent and prevent damage to related parts of the air valve.

By forming an exhaust hole in the male threaded valve body of the air valve, the air from the air pole can be quickly exhausted without completely disassembling the air valve from the cap.
