Description

Folding tent

The present invention relates to a folding tent, the pole pole and the tent cloth is integrally unfolded or folded in a manner similar to an umbrella, the spring is not provided, the installation of the tent is made by the elastic force of the pole, installation and removal of the tent It is possible to more easily, and at the same time relates to a folding tent to ensure a sufficient height of the internal space of the tent.

Conventional tents were mostly prefabricated tents installed by inserting pole poles into the tent cloth while the pole pole and the tent cloth were separated. However, the prefabricated tent installed by inserting the pole into the tent fabric has a structure that is very difficult to install and dismantle for both beginners and experienced users. As such, the folding tent is a combination of pole pole and tent cloth, which has been developed to solve the difficulties caused by the installation and dismantling of the prefabricated tent. The following is a folding tent according to the prior art.

1 shows a frame structure of a folding tent according to the prior art. Here, the prior art shown in FIG. 1 is an invention described in Korean Utility Model Registration No. 294997.

As shown in FIG. 1, the folding tent according to the related art is an apparatus that is installed at the center of the tent to perform an operation similar to an umbrella to achieve installation and dismantling of a tent, and a plurality of poles 6 have a radial outer circumferential surface. Pole connecting member (1) that is rotatably connected to the support pole connecting member (4), a plurality of support (7) for supporting a predetermined portion of each pole pole (6) rotatably connected to the radial outer peripheral surface, the pole pole connection It comprises a central axis (2) connecting the member (1) and the support connecting member (4), and a spring (3) surrounding the outer peripheral surface of the central axis (2).

Here, the support connecting member (4) moves up and down along the central axis (2), the upper portion of the support connecting member (4) is inserted into the inner bottom of the pole connecting member (1) when the tent is dismantled. In addition, an empty space is formed inside the support connecting member 4 so that a part of the spring 3 can be inserted, and the spring 3 cannot pass through the lower center of the support connecting member 4. Through-holes are formed, the support connecting member (4) is able to move up and down along the central axis (2) integrally with the spring (3). In addition, a stopper 5 is installed at the lower end of the central shaft 2 to prevent the support connecting member 4 from being separated from the central shaft 2.

However, according to the folding tent according to the prior art as described above, the length of the support connecting member 4 should be formed long enough so that the spring (3) can be inserted, thereby the length of the central axis (2) to some extent Since it should be formed long, the height of the tent is limited by the length of the central axis (2), there is a problem that the internal space of the tent is narrow.

In addition, the above-described conventional folding tent, the spring 3, the support connecting member 4, the spring 3 is inserted, the central shaft 2 for supporting the spring 3, and the predetermined portion of the pole 6 There must be a number of supports 7 and the like must be included, due to the process of manufacturing and assembling these components there is a problem that the manufacturing cost of the tent rises, the manufacturing time of the tent also takes a long time and economic efficiency is low.

In addition, when the tent is installed and dismantled, the user must go through a process of artificially compressing or tensioning the spring 3, but it is also difficult for a child or an elderly person to easily compress or tension the spring 3.

The present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems as described above, it is possible to easily install or dismantle the tent in the same manner as the umbrella, and to remove the unnecessary components such as spring to secure the economy of the tent and At the same time, the aim is to provide a folding tent that allows sufficient space inside the tent.

The folding tent according to the present invention for solving the above object, in the folding tent comprising a tent cloth, a housing in which a plurality of upper poles are rotatably coupled to the radial outer peripheral surface; A plurality of upper poles of which an upper end is rotatably coupled to the upper side only based on a predetermined angle with respect to the housing and is made of an elastic material that is elastically bent; And a plurality of lower pole poles whose upper ends are rotatably coupled to the upper side only based on a predetermined angle with respect to the upper pole pole, and the lower ends are fixedly coupled to the bottom edge of the tent cloth, and are extended by the antenna method. , As the length of the lower pole is extended, the skeleton of the tent is maintained while the upper pole is elastically bent between the upper end of the lower pole and the housing.

According to the foldable tent according to the present invention having the configuration as described above, it is possible to secure the economy of the tent by removing unnecessary components such as a spring, there is an effect that can sufficiently secure the internal space of the tent.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the folding tent according to the present invention.

2 and 3 show the installation state of the folding tent according to the invention, Figures 4 and 5 shows the demolition process of the folding tent according to the invention. In FIG. 5, the illustration of the tent cloth 50 is omitted.

As shown in Figures 2 to 5, the folding tent according to the present invention, a plurality of upper pole poles (30) installed radially rotatable to form the roof skeleton of the tent, and each upper pole pole (radial outer peripheral surface ( The upper end of the 30 30 is rotatably coupled to the housing 10, a plurality of lower pole pole 40, which is rotatably installed at the lower end of each upper pole pole 30 to form the outer wall skeleton of the tent, and the upper pole pole ( 30) and the tent pole 50 is coupled to the lower pole 40 is supported.

Each upper pole pole 30 is rotatably coupled to the upper side only based on a predetermined angle with respect to the housing 10, and also made of an elastic material that is elastically bent. That is, each upper pole 30 is preferably made of a material having elastic force to be elastically bent, for example, synthetic resin, such as fiber glass, or a thin metal material. The upper pole 30, the upper end thereof is rotatably coupled to the radial outer peripheral surface of the housing 10, the lower end thereof is rotatably coupled to the upper end of the lower pole pole 40.

At this time, the upper end of the upper pole 30 can rotate only to the upper side based on a predetermined angle from the radial outer peripheral surface of the housing 10, it is configured not to rotate to the lower side. That is, the upper pole 30 is supported by the outer circumferential surface of the housing 10 so that the upper pole 30 cannot be rotated at a predetermined angle or less with respect to the housing 10, so that the upper pole 30 can be rotated to be perpendicular to the housing 10 upward. However, the lower side can be rotated only until a constant angle with respect to the housing 10 is achieved, and below the constant angle, it can no longer be rotated.

For example, the upper pole 30 can rotate only on the upper side of the horizontal angle, based on the horizontal angle to form a horizontal state with respect to the housing 10, it is configured not to rotate to the lower side of the horizontal angle Can be. Therefore, when dismantling the tent, each upper pole 30 is rotated upward to be perpendicular to the housing 10, and when the tent is installed, each upper pole 30 is rotated downward to be horizontal to the housing 10. It becomes a state and it becomes a state which can no longer be rotated below. However, when installing the tent, when each upper pole 30 is rotated to be in a horizontal state on the housing 10, by the self-elastic force of the upper pole 30 may also make some downward inclination with respect to the housing 10. have. Of course, the upper pole 30 may be configured to be in a state of forming a partial downward slope over the horizontal angle with respect to the housing 10.

Typically, in a conventional folding tent, the upper pole is configured to rotate only downward with respect to the outer circumferential surface of the housing. Therefore, when the tent is installed, the upper pole rotates upward and horizontally or partially downward in the housing. In this state, an auxiliary pole pole or a spring must be further provided to prevent the upper pole pole from pivoting downward in this state. In this respect, the present invention is clearly distinguished from the conventional folding tent.

And the lower pole 40, the upper end is rotatably coupled to the lower end of the upper pole 30, the lower end is fixedly coupled to the bottom edge of the tent cloth 50, and is drawn out to extend the antenna Made of structure.

At this time, the upper end of the lower pole pole 40 can rotate only to the upper side based on a predetermined angle with respect to the upper pole pole 30, it is configured not to rotate downward. That is, the lower pole pole 40 is supported by the lower end of the upper pole pole 30 so as not to be rotated at a predetermined angle with respect to the upper pole pole 30, so that the upper pole pole parallel to the upper pole pole 30 Although it can rotate until it can rotate below, it can only rotate until it reaches an angle with respect to the upper pole 30, and it can no longer rotate below that constant angle.

Here, the constant angle that the lower pole 40 can rotate to the lower side as much as possible to form the upper pole 30, the inclination angle between the upper pole forming the tent roof and the lower pole forming the outer wall in a conventional folding tent. .

Therefore, when dismantling the tent, each lower pole pole 40 is rotated upward to be parallel to the upper pole pole 30, and when the tent is installed, each lower pole pole 40 is rotated downward to the upper pole pole 30. It becomes the state which makes a downward inclination with respect to it, and it becomes a state which cannot be rotated below the fixed angle which forms the downward inclination.

The lower pole 40 has a structure that extends or contracts by being drawn or inserted in an antenna manner. At this time, the lower pole 40 may be formed of a multi-stage antenna structure, preferably a three-stage antenna structure. To this end, fasteners 42 and 44 are installed on the outer circumferential surface of the lower pole pole 40 to fix the lower pole pole 40 in a reduced or extended length. Since the fasteners 42 and 44 correspond to known techniques commonly used in tent poles having an antenna structure, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted. Of course, the lower pole 40 may be formed of a multi-stage antenna structure of three or more stages, or may be of a two-stage antenna structure.

At this time, the lower pole pole 40 can be reduced in length so that the lower pole pole 40 can be made of a multi-stage structure, and the tent cloth 50 is coupled to the lower pole pole 40 at the time of dismantling In consideration of the fact that the lower pole 40 is folded to the upper pole 30, it is preferable to determine the end structure of the lower pole 40. If the length of the reduced lower pole pole 40 is too long, the lower pole pole 40 will not be folded in the upper pole pole 30 in the state in which the tent cloth 50 is coupled.

And the lower end of the lower pole pole 40 is fixedly coupled to the bottom edge of the tent cloth (50). That is, the lower end of each lower pole pole 40 is fixed to each corner of the bottom surface of the tent cloth 50 having a predetermined size, so that the lower end of the lower pole pole 40 can be fixed without flowing arbitrarily.

And, as shown in Figure 4, in order to enable the folding of the lower pole 40 and the upper pole 30 even when the tent cloth 50 is coupled when the tent is dismantled, located in a diagonal direction to form a mutually straight structure A pair of upper pole poles 30 and a pair of lower pole poles 40 connected to each of the upper pole poles 30 and reduced in length are smaller than the diagonal length of the bottom of the tent cloth 50. It is preferably formed. At this time, since the diagonal length of the bottom surface of the tent cloth 50 is fixed, in order to reduce the length of the reduced lower pole pole 40, it is preferable that the lower pole pole 40 has a three-stage antenna structure.

If this is not the case, after separating the tent cloth 50 from the lower pole pole 40, the lower pole pole 40 will have to be folded against the upper pole pole 30. Because the tent pole 50 is located outside the lower pole pole 40 while the lower pole pole 40 is folded with the upper pole pole 30, the length of the lower pole pole 40 is too long. This is because the combined lower pole 40 cannot be folded.

In addition, the lower pole 40 is made of a material and structure having a relatively less elastic force than the upper pole 30, it is preferable to be configured to support the lower end of the upper pole 30.

In the folding tent according to the present invention configured as described above, as the length of the lower pole pole 40 is extended when the tent is installed, the upper pole pole 30 is disposed between the upper end of the lower pole pole 40 and the housing 10. It is configured to be able to maintain the tent skeleton while flexing elastically in the.

That is, in the process of installing the tent, the upper pole 30 is rotated to the horizontal state to the housing 10, and also the lower pole 40 is also rotated to the lower side to the upper pole 30 It becomes a downwardly inclined state. At this time, the lower pole 40 should not be perpendicular to the upper pole 30. In this state, since tension is not applied to both ends of the upper pole 30, the upper pole 30 is still in a straight structure.

Subsequently, when the length of the lower pole pole 40 is extended, the upper pole pole 30 coupled to the upper end of the lower pole pole 40 also moves upward with the housing 10. At this time, since the lower pole 40 is not a vertical structure with respect to the upper pole 30, as the extension of the length of the lower pole 40, the lower pole pole for supporting both ends of the upper pole (30) ( The length between the upper end of the 40 and the housing 10 becomes narrower, and as a result, the upper pole 30 is elastically bent while tensioning the upper pole 30 so that the skeleton of the tent can be maintained. do.

On the other hand, in the folding tent according to the invention configured as described above the upper pole 30 is not configured to be rotated below a certain angle with respect to the housing 10, for this purpose each upper pole 30 is a housing ( It should be configured to be supported by the outer circumferential surface of 10), the following looks at a preferred embodiment of the housing structure constituting the folding tent according to the present invention.

6 and 7 show the housing structure of the folding tent according to the first embodiment of the present invention, respectively.

6 and 7, in the folding tent according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the first molding part 32 is fixedly coupled to an upper end of the upper pole pole 30, and the housing 10 of the housing 10 is fixed. On the radially outer circumferential surface, the first fastening groove 12 is inserted into the first molding part 32 so as to be concave, and the bottom pole of the housing 10 prevents the upper pole 30 from rotating downward. Support frame 20 for is coupled.

In the first molding part 32 fixedly coupled to the upper end of each upper pole pole 30, the first hinge groove 34 is formed in a concave shape at the bottom thereof, and the locking jaw 36 is forward at the end thereof. It is made of a protruding structure, and is inserted into the first fastening groove 12 concavely formed on the radial outer peripheral surface of the housing 10 to be rotated.

At this time, a first hinge protrusion 14 corresponding to the first hinge groove 34 is formed at the front end of the first fastening groove 12, so that the first molding part 32 is the first fastening groove ( When the first hinge projection 14 is hinged to the first hinge groove 34 when inserted into the 12, the first molding portion 32 can be rotated in the first fastening groove 12.

Accordingly, the first molding part 32 is inserted into each of the first fastening grooves 12 formed on the radially outer circumferential surface of the housing 10. After the first hinge protrusions 14 of the fastening groove 12 are hinged to each other, the support frame 20 is coupled to the center of the bottom surface of the housing 10. As such, when the first molding part 32 fixedly coupled to the upper end of each upper pole pole 30 is inserted into and coupled to the first fastening groove 12 formed on the radial outer circumferential surface of the housing 10, the first molding part ( 32 may be rotated with respect to the first fastening groove 12. Since the support frame 20 supports the upper surface of the latching jaw 36 formed at the end of the first molding part 32, The pole table 30 can only rotate upward with respect to the housing 10 with respect to a certain angle, and can not rotate downward.

On the other hand, when the support frame 20 is inserted into the center of the bottom of the housing 10 by a force-fit method, a plurality of fixing protrusions 16 protruding from the bottom of the housing 10 is formed through the support frame 20 The support frame 20 is fixedly coupled to the housing 10 by being inserted into the fixing groove 26 to elastically support it. In addition, the center of the support frame 20 is preferably formed with a ring portion 22 for coupling the top end of the tent cloth (50).

On the other hand, Figure 8 shows the housing structure of the folding tent according to the second embodiment of the present invention, respectively.

Referring to FIG. 8, in the folding tent according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the second molding part 33 is fixedly coupled to the upper end of the upper pole 30, and the radial outer circumferential surface of the housing 60 is described above. The second fastening groove 62 to which the second molding part 33 is inserted and rotated is formed to be concave.

The second molding part 33 fixedly coupled to the upper end of each upper pole pole 30 has a structure in which a second hinge groove 35 is formed in a concave shape on the upper surface thereof, and on the radial outer circumferential surface of the housing 60. It is inserted into the second fastening groove 62 to be concave and rotated.

At this time, a second hinge protrusion 64 corresponding to the second hinge groove 35 is formed inside the second fastening groove 62, so that the second molding part 33 has the second fastening groove 62. When the second hinge projection 64 is hinged to the second hinge groove 35 when inserted into the), the second molding portion 33 can be rotated in the second fastening groove (62).

In addition, at the front end of each of the second fastening grooves 62, the support jaw 66 is formed to support the bottom surface of the second molding part 33 so that the upper pole 30 is not rotated downward.

Therefore, when the second molding part 33 fixedly coupled to the upper end of each upper pole pole 30 is inserted into and coupled to the second fastening groove 62 formed on the radial outer circumferential surface of the housing 60, the second molding part ( 33 can be rotated with respect to the second fastening groove 62. Since the support jaw 66 formed at the front end of the second fastening groove 62 supports the bottom surface of the second molding portion 33, The upper pole 30 can be rotated only on the upper side relative to the housing 60 with respect to the housing 60, and cannot be rotated downward.

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings looks at the installation and removal process of the folding tent according to the invention. Here, the housing structure will be described taking the configuration of the above-described first embodiment as an example.

First, referring to Figures 2 to 5 looks at the installation process of the folding tent according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, in the state where the tent is dismantled, the folded upper pole 30 is rotated downward so that the upper pole 30 is horizontal to the housing 10. At this time, since the upper surface of the locking projection 36 of the first molding part 32 fixedly attached to the upper end of the upper pole 30 is supported by the support frame 20, the upper pole 30 is the housing 10 It cannot be rotated below the horizontal angle with respect to.

Then, the lower pole pole 40 is folded so as to be inclined downward with respect to the upper pole pole 30. Even in this case, since the upper end of the lower pole 40 is supported by the lower end of the upper pole 30, the lower pole 40 cannot be rotated below a certain inclination angle with respect to the upper pole 30. .

Subsequently, when the length of the lower pole pole 40 is extended, the upper pole pole 30 coupled to the upper end of the lower pole pole 40 also moves upward with the housing 10. At this time, since the lower pole pole 40 is not perpendicular to the upper pole pole 30, as the length of the lower pole pole 40 extends upward, the upper end of the lower pole pole 40 gradually moves inward. On the other hand, the housing 10 is always located at the center. Therefore, as the length of the lower pole pole 40 is extended, the length between the upper end of the lower pole pole 40 supporting the both ends of the upper pole pole 30 and the housing 10 becomes narrower, and the upper pole pole 30 As the tension is applied to the upper pole 30 is elastically bent, due to the tension of the upper pole 30 can be maintained the skeleton of the tent.

Next, the demolition process of the folding tent will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5.

2 and 3 when the tent is installed, if the length of the lower pole pole 40 is reduced, the upper pole pole 30 coupled to the upper end of the lower pole pole 40 is also housing 10 ) Will move downward. At this time, since the lower pole 40 is not perpendicular to the upper pole 30, as the length of the lower pole 40 is reduced to the lower side, the upper end of the lower pole 40 is gradually moved to the outside On the other hand, the housing 10 is always located at the center. Accordingly, as the length of the lower pole pole 40 is reduced, the length between the upper end of the lower pole pole 40 supporting the opposite ends of the upper pole pole 30 and the housing 10 becomes longer, and thus the upper pole pole 30 Tension is no longer applied, and the upper pole pole 30 which is elastically curved is restored to its original straight state.

After the length of the lower pole pole 40 is completely reduced, the lower pole pole 40 is rotated upward to be in a state parallel to the upper pole pole 30. At this time, a pair of upper pole poles 30 arranged in a diagonal direction to form a mutually straight structure, and the total length of the pair of lower pole poles 40 connected to the upper pole poles 30 and reduced in length, Since the tent cloth 50 is formed to be smaller than the diagonal length of the bottom surface, the lower pole pole 40 and the upper pole pole 30 can be folded in a state where the tent cloth 50 is coupled to the lower pole pole 40.

Thereafter, when the upper pole 30 is rotated upward to be in a vertical state with respect to the housing 10, as shown in FIG. 5, the dismantling of the tent is completed.

While the invention has been shown and described with respect to the specific embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Anyone with it will know easily.
