Although there are many types of automatic tents, a conventional automatic tent, which can be installed and dismantled by performing operations similar to a double umbrella, will be described below.

1 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of a conventional automatic tent frame.

As shown in the figure, a plurality of upper connecting poles 1 are radially connected to the upper part, and a stopper 20 is installed and fixed to the lower part, and the lowermost part is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. A connecting member 12 which is integrally provided with a connector 14 for connecting the connecting string 31 taking the connection with the center of the top end of the tent 30;

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.

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.
