Description

The utility model relates to special-purpose structures, namely, tent shelters that can be used as camping equipment (for example, for tourists, fishermen, hunters), technical equipment for field work (for example, for welders, cable men and other technical workers) and other shelters.

From the prior art, a five-section tent is known, made in the form of an awning stretched on a folding frame formed by five independently folding sections, each of which contains a central bearing element with a limiter and radial racks made of elastic material, which in the unfolded position, thanks to the limiter and the tent web tension form support arcs (see patent RU186819, class E04H 15/32, published 05.02.2019). A disadvantage of the known tent is the limitation of the compactness of the shelter in the folded (closed) state, which in turn limits the size of the shelter in the open state. For example, with the size of the specified structure in open form, comparable - L × W × H: 220 × 220 × 190 cm (for a five-section design), the transport size along the length of the package is 1.5 m. Another important drawback is the lack of rigid fixation of the section roof, which can develop under the influence of external factors (for example, wind or snow).

The closest in technical essence to the proposed utility model is a tent made in the form of an awning stretched on a folding frame containing central bearing elements and radial racks pivotally mounted on them from elastic material, which in the unfolded position due to the tension of the awning web form supporting arcs, moreover, at least part of the racks is made folding due to telescopic or sleeve connection of their parts (see patent RU2597652, class E04H 15/32, publ. 09/20/2015). A disadvantage of the known tent is also the limitation of the compactness of the shelter in the folded (closed) state, which in turn limits the size of the shelter in the open state. For example, with the size of the specified structure in open form, comparable - L × W × H: 220 × 220 × 190 cm (for a five-section design), the transport size along the length of the package is 1.0 m. Another important drawback is the lack of rigid fixation of the section roof, which can develop under the influence of external factors (for example, wind or snow).

A technical problem is the elimination of these shortcomings and the formation of a compact tent shelter an order of magnitude larger in the open state while maintaining the permissible transport dimensions when folded and ensuring rigid self-fixation of the roof section, eliminating the possibility of the roof dome folding under the influence of external factors (for example, wind or snow). The technical result provided by the utility model is to increase compactness while maintaining structural rigidity. The problem posed is solved, and the technical result is achieved by the fact that the compact tent shelter is made in the form of an awning stretched on a folding frame formed by independently folding top section and side sections, each of which contains a side bearing element and radial racks fixed to the awning, wherein the lateral bearing element is equipped with a limiter, which is located on the opposite side relative to the canvas of the awning and together with the latter fixes the radial racks respectively the lateral section in the unfolded position, and the upper section contains a centrally located upper bearing element with radial racks pivotally attached to it, the number of which corresponds to the number of side sections, and a lower bearing element with spacer rods pivotally attached to it, the second end of which is pivotally mounted radial racks of the upper section, and the radial racks of the upper section are folding, and the ends of the spacer rods are fixed on their inner parts. The upper and lower load-bearing elements of the upper section are preferably made closed to each other in the unfolded position. Side sections may contain radial racks of equal length or two short upper radial racks and two long folding lower radial racks.

The proposed tent shelter (tent) is made on the basis of a frame formed by independently folding side sections 1, the number of which preferably varies from four to ten pieces, and one upper section 1 'forming a roof.

Sections 1 in the unfolded position have a convex outward shape (Fig. 1-4) and have their own frame, containing a lateral supporting element 2 and four radial racks pivotally mounted on it. Sections 1 can be made in the form of trapezoid with a smaller upper base (Fig. 1-3), which contain two shorter upper 3 and two longer (length increased to 60% relatively short) lower 4 racks, with long lower racks can be solid or folding.

Section 1 can also be made in the form of a rectangle (Fig. 4), in which all the upper 3 and lower 4 racks can be equal in length.

The lateral support element 2 can be made in the form of an asterisk, while the free ends of the uprights 3, 4 are pivotally fixed in the slots of the sprocket. The opposite ends of the uprights 3, 4 are predominantly rigidly fixed to the canvas of the awning 5 using the sleeves 6. The canvas awning 5 is fixed to the frame by screw fastening 7 on the side bearing 2 and can also be fixed along the entire length of the uprights 3, 4.

Racks 3, 4 are made of flexible flexible material of high strength (for example, from composite reinforcement based on glass roving, or on a glass-basalt base; from aluminum alloy, etc.), which provides the arcs with the necessary plasticity and flexibility to form the desired geometry of the structure. In the unfolded position, the posts 3, 4 are spring loaded due to the interference of the canvas of the awning 5 and form supporting arcs. The bending of the arcs is regulated by the tension of the canvas sheet 5, which is located on the outside of the shelter sections 1. The supporting element 2 is equipped with a limiter 8, which is located on the opposite side relative to the canvas of the awning 5 and together with the latter fixes the racks 3, 4 in the unfolded position.

Section 1 'forming the roof, in the unfolded position has a convex outward shape (Fig. 5-6) and has its own frame containing the upper bearing element 9 and the lower bearing element 10.

In the upper carrier 9, the radial collapsible posts 11 are preferably pivotally fixed of the same length. The opposite ends of the uprights 11 are mainly rigidly fixed to the canvas of the awning 5 using the sleeves 6. The canvas awning 5 can also be fixed to the frame on the supporting element 9 and along the entire length of the uprights 11.

Folding racks 11 consist of two separate parts, inner 12 and outer 13, connected in series with each other by a swivel joint 14, which provides folding parts of each rack relative to each other.

Spacer rods 15 are pivotally fixed in the lower carrier 10, the opposite ends of which are secured by a hinge 16 mounted on the inner parts 12 of the folding racks 11.

The lower supporting element 10 has the possibility of fixing (closes) in the upper supporting element 9 when the frame is opened in the unfolded position and opens when the frame racks are folded into the transport position.

The total design of the supporting elements 9 and 10, pivotally connected spacer rods 15 and the inner 12 parts of the struts 11, forms a mechanism for opening the frame section 1 '.

Folding racks 11 are made of flexible flexible material of high strength (for example, from composite reinforcement based on glass roving, or on a glass-basalt basis; from aluminum alloy, etc.), which provides the arcs with the necessary plasticity and flexibility to form the desired geometry of the structure. In the unfolded position, the racks 11 are spring-loaded due to the interference of the canvas of the awning 5 and form supporting arcs. The bending of the arcs is regulated by the tension of the canvas tent 5, which is located on the outside of the sections 1 'of the tent.

Canvas tent 5 can be made of various materials depending on the purpose of use of the tent shelter (tent). For example, the canvas tent 5 is made of lightweight moisture-resistant material when using a tent as camping equipment, and, from durable non-combustible material, when using a tent as technical equipment. The awning sheet 5 can be made in a multilayer (insulated) form, for example, a three-layer awning, where the outer and inner layers are made of woven material (organic, synthetic or mixed material, for example, Oxford fabric (density 80-150 g / m ² ) with or without waterproof coating), and the intermediate layer is made of insulation, which is used non-woven material on a synthetic basis (for example, synthetic winterizer, holofiber, tinsulate, stretch bond, silicone, etc.) with a preferred density of 100 to 400 g / m ² .

The addition of the side sections 1 of the tent shelter is carried out by pressing on the side bearing element 2 from the outside of the shelter in the direction "A". In this case, the arcs of the frame formed by the uprights 3, 4 are moved inward, and the side section 1 is folded into the closed position. Racks 3, 4 change their position due to the swivel, by means of which they are fixed on the supporting element 2. In the closed position, the racks 3, 4 are placed parallel to each other, and the canvas sheet 5 is placed between them. To open section 1, it is necessary to part the racks 3, 4 with the canvas of the awning 5 from the outer side in different directions from the supporting element 2 and pull the external cord-link 17, mounted on the fastening ring 7, in the opposite direction to the direction “A”.

The folding of section 1 ’of the shelter is carried out by opening the supporting elements 9 and 10, in which the lower supporting element 10 is moved in the direction of" B ". In this case, the arcs of the frame formed by the uprights 11 are moved inward, and section 1 ’is folded into the closed position (Fig. 7). The inner 12 and outer 13 parts of the uprights 11 change their position due to the articulated joints 14, 16 and the spacer rods 15, which, in turn, change their position when folding by moving the lower bearing element 10 in the direction "B". In the closed position, parts of the uprights 12, 13 and spacer rods 15 are parallel to each other, and the canvas sheet 5 is laid between them (Fig. 7). In order to open section 1 ', it is necessary to part the racks 12 and 13 with the awning blade 5 from the inside in different directions from the upper load-bearing element 9, move the lower load-bearing element 10 in the direction opposite to the direction “B” and close it (fix) it in the upper load-bearing element nine.

In the opened, operating state of section 1 ’(Fig. 6), the tie rods 15 rigidly fix the folding racks 11 by means of the mutual fixation of the supporting elements 9 and 10, thereby rigidly fixing the roof frame and excluding its spontaneous folding under the influence of external factors.

The design of the proposed tent shelter, formed by four sections 1 and one section 1 '(five-section), has a rectangle shape along the perimeter of its base (Fig. 8), while the number of side sections 1 forming the shelter walls can vary (preferably from 4 to 10 pcs.), Which allows to significantly increase the external dimensions of the tent shelter, while maintaining the key size (length) in a packaged, shipping condition.

A good example is the construction of a seven-section tent shelter (tent) with 6 side sections 1 (Fig. 9), in which the section 1 'forming the tent roof, respectively, has six folding racks 11, and the section size 1' in the transported, assembled state is equal (in length) to the size of the parts 12 and 13 of the racks 11, which are smaller in absolute value, or equal to the transport size of the sections 1, respectively, the proposed design of the utility model allows for compact tent sizes as with the number of side nok equal to four, and in a quantity equal to ten, the size of the cover in the open, working condition increases by several times.

Awning 5 may contain several protective skirts 18 (Fig. 10), which protect the perimeter of the tent shelter from blowing out or protect the perimeter of the mounting of the "bottom" from rainfall. Depending on the purpose of the use of the shelter, one or several entrances 19, which can have different shapes, are located on the lateral sections 1, while the shelter can be equipped with various devices, for example, exhaust valves 20, windows 21, air supply hoses 22, and extensions for stretch marks , internal and external pockets and other elements.

Depending on the purpose of the shelter, one or more sections 1 forming the side walls, in one case, can be fully opened, forming, for example, a doorway (Fig. 11), for this, a detachable connection 23 is installed around the perimeter of section 1, as which can serve, for example, a zipper with a lock, fasteks (fasteners), Velcro, or other items. In another case, one or more sections 1 can be completely excluded from the shelter structure and replaced, for example, by tent web elements 5, which, in turn, can serve as a doorway, a modular docking element between tents, or other structures.

In both of these cases, to ensure the integrity and stability of the tent shelter, additional, mainly removable, folding struts 24 are used, which are installed on the sides and on top of the indicated section 1, or in the absence thereof (Fig. 11).

In the open shelter position, the racks of all side sections 1 are spring-loaded due to the tightness of the tent canvas and have self-locking due to the aggregate bursting of the tent, with a slight pressing from the outside on the supporting element 2 will lead to the folding of the corresponding section. For reliable fixation of the side walls of the shelter during its operation, stretch marks are used, fixed on the outside of the side bearing element 2 for fastening 7 to the ground and eliminating spontaneous folding of the walls under the influence of external factors.

The proposed compact tent shelter operates as follows.

The shelter is installed in the unfolded working position in the following sequence:

on a flat surface lay racks 3, 4, 11 of all sections so that the section 1 'forming the roof is on top;

spreading racks 3, 4 and pulling the cord-rod 17 of one of the sections 1 in the direction opposite to the direction "A", open one of the side walls of the tent shelter;

straighten racks 3, 4 of each subsequent section 1, similarly alternately open the remaining sections, forming the side walls;

go inside the shelter through the doorway and, spreading the racks 11 and moving the lower supporting element 10 in the opposite direction to the direction “B”, open the roof forming section 1 ’, while necessarily fixing the supporting elements 9 and 10;

the opened shelter is fixed with streamers and pegs.

The shelter is folded into the transport position in the following sequence:

go inside the shelter, open the load-bearing elements 9 and 10, move the lower load-bearing element in the direction "B", while the racks 11 are moved inward, and section 1 ’is folded;

sequentially fold each side section 1 by pressing on the supporting element 2 from the outside in the direction "A", while the racks 3, 4 are moved inward, and sections 1 are folded;

all racks 3, 4, 11 are brought together towards the center of the upper section 1 ';

the folded shelter is packaged in a carrying bag.

In the folded transport position, all the racks 3, 4, 11 of the sections 1, 1 'are arranged parallel to each other, so that the shelter has compact dimensions when folded. Canvas tent 5 stacked between the racks 3, 4, 11.

Due to the design, combined with each other in a single awning of a certain number of side sections and a roof section, which allows for the phased compact folding of each section into the transport position, the formation of a compact tent tent of a large size in the opened state, while maintaining its permissible transport dimensions when folded. The design of the rigid self-fixation of the roof section completely eliminates the possibility of folding the roof dome under the influence of external factors. A simple and consistent procedure for the disclosure of sections of the tent shelter allows it to be opened in working condition, and then folded into the transport, by one person.

All of the listed materials and technological processes are available and applicable in the industry and make it possible to manufacture a product with a relatively low cost.
