Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tent with at least one awning or extended roof section.
  • tent systems for example so-called party tents, which are designed for a temporary, speedy use as protection from sun or rain.
  • these tents comprise a scissor-type linkage structure carrying the textile roof portion, said structure being fully collapsible when not in use and being pulled open in a simple manner when setting up the tent, such that the support rods that define the outer contour of the tent are being pulled apart and in this manner bring the entire tent into its use state. In this process, the linkage rods are pulled apart as well.
  • such a tent has a square design (e.g., 3 m ⁇ 3 m) with a support rod being located in each corner.
  • telescope-type extensions may be pulled out after the scissor-type linkage structure has been pulled apart, such that the tent can obtain its proper height.
  • the pulled-apart linkage rods that are connected in a scissor-type manner are then located above the standing height of persons.
  • the roof portion which is made of a suitable textile material and rests on the linkage rods, is then its use state as well.
  • a tent is described, for example, in WO 2004/015228 A1.
  • such tents When in use, such tents typically exhibit a rectangular or square shape and may feature a hanging valance at the outer edges of the roof section giving the tent a pleasant appearance.
  • a tent with a roof section which comprises at least one awning section and a linkage structure, which can be pulled from a non-use state to a use sate and, vice versa, which can be pushed together from the use state into the non-use state.
  • the roof section can be arranged on the linkage structure.
  • a mechanism is provided that brings the awning section ( 21 ) automatically from its non-use state to its use state when the linkage structure is pulled apart and brings the awning section automatically from its use state into its non-use state when the linkage structure is pushed together utilizing the movement of at least one linkage rod of the linkage structure.
  • the essential advantage of the present invention is that the floor plan of a tent in the use state can be extended in that during set-up of the tent—i.e., when pulling apart the scissor-type linkage structure—awning sections are placed into a position that enlarges the tent in a marquee-like manner toward the outside. It is significant that the movement that is generated when setting up the tent and pulling apart the linkage rods that are connected to each other in a scissor-type manner is used to automatically extend at least one awning section. This means that advantageously, it is not necessary to use laborious and time-consuming procedures to attach separate awning sections to the roof section of a set-up tent. Awnings extended in this manner increase the effective floor space of the tent subject to the invention. An additional advantage is that in this manner a protection from sun and rain is provided as well.
  • the preferred mechanism for extending the awning section has a simple structure and can be manufactured cost-effectively.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic presentation of an essentially known scissor-type linkage structure of the tent during set-up.
  • FIG. 2 shows the linkage structure of FIG. 1 in the non-use state.
  • FIG. 3 shows the linkage structure of FIG. 2 in a partially extended condition, whereby the linkage carrier section of the awning is in an interim position between the non-use state and the use state of the tent.
  • FIG. 4 shows the linkage structure of FIG. 3 in an additional interim position with the awning being raised higher.
  • FIG. 5 shows the carrier section for the awning in its use position.
  • FIGS. 6 to 8 show additional developments of the invention.
  • FIGS. 9 to 11 show additional developments of the invention.
  • FIGS. 1-11 of the drawings The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1-11 of the drawings. Identical elements in the various figures are designated with the same reference numerals.
  • the scissor-type linkage structure 10 of the tent subject to the invention comprises, as an example, four support rods 2 , which during use of the tent are located at the four corner points of said tent.
  • the support rods 2 and the linkage rods 1 forming the linkage structure 10 in an essentially known manner are pushed together such that the support rods 2 are tightly adjacent to one another, as can be seen in FIG. 2 .
  • the tent requires little storage space.
  • two persons P 1 and P 2 grasp the scissor-type linkage structure 10 according to FIG.
  • the linkage rods 1 , 1 ′ of the linkage construction or linkage structure 10 cross each other in the space defined by the support rods 2 and are hinged to one another at the upper and lower sides.
  • An upward pointing linkage rod 1 and a downward pointing linkage rod 1 ′ end at each support rod 2 .
  • two upward pointing and two downward pointing linkage rods 1 , 1 ′ end at each support rod 2 , whereby the linkage rods 1 pointing upward and the linkage rods 2 pointing downward are arranged in one plane, respectively, said plane being formed between two neighboring support rods 2 .
  • FIGS. 2 to 5 show a support rod 2 located at one corner of the tent with a first linkage rod 1 of the linkage structure 10 being hinged at a point 6 .
  • An additional linkage rod 1 ′ is attached to the support rod 2 using a gliding part 7 preferably exhibiting the shape of a bushing that glides along the support bar 2 .
  • the end of the linkage rod 1 ′, which faces the support rod 2 is hinged to the gliding part 7 at a point 8 .
  • One end of a connecting rod 4 is attached to the linkage rod 1 ′ at a point 9 .
  • the other end of the connecting rod 4 is hinged to the carrier element 3 for the awning at a point 11 .
  • one end of the carrier element 3 for the awning is pivoted at the upper end section of the support rod 2 at a point 13 .
  • the awning section that is attached to the carrier element 3 and connected to the roof section 20 is designated with the number 21 and is shown in FIG. 3 .
  • the roof section 20 and the awning section 21 can also be made of one piece.
  • the gliding part 7 in the non-use state of the tent, the gliding part 7 is in a lowest position, whereby the linkage rods 1 and 1 ′ are in their position resting against the support rod 2 .
  • the one end of the connecting rod 4 is moved so far down that the other end of the connecting rod 4 has pulled the carrying element 3 for the awning section into a position resting against the support rod 2 .
  • the ends of the linkage rods 1 and 1 ′ are moved towards each other, whereby the gliding part 7 glides up the support rod 2 in the direction toward the upper end of the support rod 2 , as indicated by the arrow P 5 .
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show interim positions with the bushing part 7 gliding upward along the support rod 2 and the carrier element 3 being raised to different heights.
  • FIG. 5 shows the linkage rods 1 , 1 ′ in the use state of the tent with the linkage structure 10 being fully raised and the carrier element 3 being in a fully raised or extended position.
  • FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of a tent being pulled into the use state of the tent in which the four support rods 2 are located in the corner points of the tent.
  • the roof section of the tent viewed from above is designated with the number 20 .
  • the roof section 21 for the awning borders only on one edge 22 on the roof section 20 of the tent, or is attached, in particular by sewing, to this edge, respectively, whereby the carrier elements 3 that move and support the awning section 21 run preferably perpendicular to the edge 22 .
  • the carrier rod 3 and the two linkage rods 1 , 1 ′ are preferably arranged in a plane of the linkage structure 10 perpendicular to the edge 22 .
  • the roof section 20 and the awning section 21 can be made of one single piece as well.
  • FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of the invention where an awning portion 21 runs across a corner and whereby the carrier elements 3 run at an angle ⁇ of 135° in relation to the edges 22 at which the awning sections 21 are connected to the roof sections 20 .
  • FIG. 10 shows in detail a view from above of the corner of a linkage structure 10 carrying the roof section 20 and the awning section 21 .
  • the roof section 20 and the awning section 21 can be made of one single piece as well.
  • the ends of the connecting rods 4 are attached using so-called universal joints 23 at points 9 and 11 , whereby the universal joints 23 permit a rotation of the ends of the connecting rods 4 in all directions.
  • the invention relates to a tent with at least one awning, which can be brought from the non-use position to the use position, which is provided with a mechanism that transfers the movement of a scissor-type linkage structure onto the carrier elements for the awning section when said linkage structure is pulled apart into the use state of the tent.
