Description

Tent Pole Connector {A Connector of Tent Pole}

The present invention relates to a tent pole connector, and more particularly to the inlet or insertion hole of the connector into which the canopy pole or the ridge pole is inserted to be inclined inward, so that the sunscreen overlaid on the upper side of the tent does not sag downward. It relates to a tent pole connector.

In general, the tent is composed of a waterproof cloth and a plurality of tent poles so that users can temporarily live in camping or outdoors, and the tent poles are assembled with each other to form various types of tents.

In this case, a tubular or circular connector is usually used for smooth connection and maintenance between tent poles according to various types of tents. In the accompanying drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a structure of a general tent assembled using a circular connector.

As shown in FIG. 1, in general, the tent 1 has a plurality of tent poles 11 formed on the tent body 10, and the tent poles 20 are fitted on the tent poles 11. It is provided with a plurality of connecting rings 12 connected in a locked state.

In addition, the fitting hole 14 is formed at both ends 13 of the tent pole line 11 which is in contact with the ground so that the respective tent poles 20 are fitted and tangled.

From this structure, the tent poles 20 are inserted or walked through the respective hooks 12 along each tent pole line 11 formed on the tent body 10, and then both sides of each tent pole 20. When the end 13 is inserted into the fitting hole 14, the tent pole 20 is bent in a semicircular shape to raise the tent body 10, and thus the tent 1 is completed.

Here, each of the tent poles 20 is a state in which both ends 13 are fixed to the ground to support the tent body 10, so that a predetermined angle is bent to form a resilience force. Will maintain the shape of.

On the other hand, the general tent (1) as described above is shaded on the front upper side of the tent entrance door 15, and the shade screen 16 that can cover the rain water or the sun is installed is fixed to the ground through a string (not shown), etc. do.

This sunscreen 16, shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1, is widely spread over the roof of the tent 1 where the tent poles 20 intersect with each other, and is provided with a canopy pole provided below the center of the tent pole 20 ( 32) the load is supported and spread on both sides.

The canopy pole 32 is connected to and coupled to the connector 30 together with the tent pole 20 intersecting at the upper side of the tent 1.

1 and 2, the tent pole 20 and the canopy pole 32 cross each other. The connector 30 is inserted into a plurality of bodies of the same height on an outer circumferential surface of a flat donut shape. It has a structure in which the ball 34 is formed.

When the tent pole 20 and the canopy pole 32 are inserted into the insertion hole 34 of the connector 30 having such a structure, the tip of one end when the bending moment acts on the tent pole 20 and the canopy pole 32, respectively. 21 is engaged to the inner peripheral edge of the insertion hole 34 is the tent pole 20 and the canopy pole 32 is connected to the connector 30.

However, in the conventional connector 30 configured as described above, since the load of the sunscreen 16 is concentrated on the canopy pole 32, as shown in FIG. 2, the connector 30 is coupled horizontally to the connector 30. As shown in FIG. There was a problem that the pole 32 could not withstand its load and bent downward or even broken.

Accordingly, the sunscreen 16 provided on the upper side of the tent 1 also sags to the lower side, so that the user needs to lean in and out when entering and exiting the tent.

Accordingly, the present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems in the related art, and the canopy pole or the canopy pole supporting the sunshade of the tent is formed to be inclined inwardly by the insertion hole or the insertion part of the connector to which the canopy pole or the ridge pole is connected. The purpose of the design is not to bend and to prevent the awning from sagging down.

The present invention for achieving the above object is provided with a tent pole constituting the skeleton of the tent, and a plurality of insertion holes are respectively inserted into the end of the canopy pole for supporting the awning covering the tent, the tent pole and In the tent pole connector for connecting the canopy pole, the insertion hole of the tent pole and the insertion hole of the canopy pole is arranged radially, the insertion hole of the canopy pole is formed inclined downward toward the center with respect to the insertion hole of the tent pole. It is characterized by.

As an example, the insertion hole of the tent pole may be formed horizontally or inclined upward toward the center, and the insertion hole of the canopy pole may be formed inclined downward toward the center with respect to the ground.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 and 4, the tent pole connector 40 according to the present invention, the insertion hole 34 is inserted into the end of the tent pole 20 forming the skeleton of the tent 1, the tent ( The insertion hole 46 into which the end of the canopy pole 32 provided to support the sunscreen 16 covering the upper side of 1) is inserted into a ring is arranged radially. The insertion hole 46 into which the canopy pole 32 is inserted is formed to be inclined downward toward the center of the connector 40.

Accordingly, the canopy pole 32 inserted into and coupled to the inclined insertion hole 46 is connected to the connector 40 with a predetermined angle θ relative to the horizontal line (ground) P. . On the other hand, the insertion hole 34 into which the tent pole 20 is inserted, not the canopy pole 32, is formed horizontally as in the prior art (see FIG. 2).

On the other hand, the insertion hole 34 for the tent pole 20 may be formed to be inclined upward toward the center of the connector 40, if necessary, may be formed to be inclined downward toward the center of the connector 40. However, even when the insertion hole 34 for the tent pole 20 is formed to be inclined downward, the inclination angle is smaller than the inclination angle of the insertion hole 46 for the canopy pole 32.

A predetermined locking portion 39 is formed at one end of the tip 21 of the canopy pole 32 so that when the canopy pole 32 receives a bending moment by the load of the sunshade 16 and is bent downward, the connector The canopy pole 32 is caught by the inner end of the jaw 42 so that it is not easily separated from the connector 40.

Since the canopy pole 32 is inserted into the connector 40 at an inclined angle and connected thereto, the connector 40 may be bent downward by receiving a predetermined bending moment by the load of the upper awning film 16. It is not easily separated from, and further can be securely supported by the sunscreen 16 so as not to sag downwards.

That is, when the canopy pole 32 is inserted into the connector 40 and the bending moment is applied, the locking portion 39 of the tip 21 is caught by the inner peripheral edge of the insertion hole 46. The outer circumferential surface of the tip 21 rubs against the inner circumferential surface of the inclined insertion hole 46 and prevents the canopy pole 32 from being separated from the connector 40 while maintaining the predetermined inclination angle θ.

Therefore, even if the canopy pole 32 is weighted to the canopy pole 32, the canopy pole 32 inserted at both sides of the connector 40 is curved in a chevron wing shape and supports the canopy membrane 16 without sagging. You can do it.

On the other hand, Figure 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, the ridge pole 44 is provided on the upper side of the tent, so that the connector 40 of the present invention is also applied to the tent 2 having two or more connectors 40. It can be, which is formed to be inclined so as to achieve a predetermined angle from the horizontal line, the insertion hole 46 of the connector 40, the ridge pole 44 and the canopy pole 32 is inserted, the tent pole 20 is inserted It is formed to be raised above the insertion hole 34 to be inserted, so that the inserted ridge pole 44 and the canopy pole 32 is prevented from sagging downward.

Therefore, even if the load is bent to the upper side of the ridge pole 44 and the canopy pole 32 can be supported by lifting the sunshade 16 or tent cloth.

And, Figure 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention, the connector 40a in the present embodiment has a shape in which a plurality of tubes, not annular, as shown in the above-described embodiment is arranged radially .

Specifically, the connector 40a is an insertion tube 42 into which the canopy pole 32 of one side is inserted and an insertion tube 42 into which the canopy pole 32 (or ridge pole) 44 of the opposite side is inserted. While being bent upward to form a predetermined angle α (α <180 °), an insertion tube 43 into which the tent pole 20 is inserted in a direction intersecting therewith is provided and integrally coupled.

Accordingly, the canopy pole 32 is inserted into one insertion tube 42 of the tubular-crossing connector 40a provided above the tent 2, and the ridge pole 44 is inserted into the other insertion tube 42. Lifting the upper side surface of the sunshade 16 and the tent cloth, while the insertion tube 43 formed in the direction intersecting the tent pole 20 is inserted to maintain the curved shape downward when the bending moment is applied.

In addition, although not shown in the drawings, the canopy pole 32 is connected to the connector using various types of connectors such as three-dimensional connectors having multiple outer surfaces. If formed to be inclined upwardly than the ball or the insert can be expected the same effect, which is of course included in the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.

As described above, the present invention can keep the canopy pole supporting the sunscreen overlaid on the upper part of the tent by simply changing the connector structure, and maintain a firm coupling with the connector. You can do it.

Therefore, the inconvenience that the user needs to lean in and out when entering the tent is improved, it is possible to maintain the beauty in appearance.

In addition, when the canopy pole is formed short, it is possible to install a ventilation hole on the top of the tent to induce natural ventilation.
