Abstract
A shelter system comprising a flexible canopy supported by a plurality of cylindrical tubular poles where the poles comprise a novel assembly for attaching the canopy, ground straps and auxiliary cables to the top of the poles, including an expansion plug disposed in the top end of each tubular pole for anchoring a shaft disposed coaxially with the longitudinal axis of the tube which shaft carries at least one bracket plate and a portion of the canopy.
Description
- The present invention relates generally to a system of components that cooperate to form a temporary shelter of the type having perimetrical supporting poles and a fabric canopy structure for a top.
- The prior art is abundantly provided with apparatus and methods for constructing temporary shelters such as fully enclosed tents and canopy covers, with or without side panels. The detailed construction of the supporting poles, or legs, of the structure is frequently material to the novelty of the structure. Exemplary of such apparatus is the portable umbrella shelter shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,287,872 where the central supporting pole functions in a number of different capacities. U.S. Pat. No. 4,941,500 discloses a knockdown canopy shelter in which the extensible support poles are extended to form support for the canopy structure. U.S. Pat. No. 4,690,161 illustrates a canopy supported by a central pole and a number of peripheral posts that are held in position by what appear to be rope stays, however there is no disclosure as to how the stays are connected to the supporting posts. U.S. Pat. No. 6,516,822 illustrates a conventional method of interconnecting a canopy and supporting poles where the top ends of the poles are inserted into receptor sockets in the edges of a canopy forming tarp.
- In spite of the apparent ease and simplicity of erecting structures such as those illustrated in the foregoing notations of exemplary prior art, the biggest difficulty with the prior art concepts is their inability to withstand unexpected loads such as those imposed by high wind conditions. Especially in military service, it is important that the erected structure be able to remain intact under conditions of snow loads or high winds.
- Accordingly, it is the primary objective of the present invention to provide a temporary shelter system that is compact for transportation, easy to erect and will tolerate high wind loads.
- Although the shelter system of the present invention involves several components, the fundamental element of the system are the poles that support the perimeter and the center sections of the fabric canopy that forms the top of the shelter. In their most basic form, each of the supporting poles comprise at least one cylindrical tube having an expansion plug disposed in the first end of the tube. The plug has a shaft disposed coaxially with the longitudinal axis of the tube which shaft serves as the anchor for one or more plate brackets that attach to exterior ground lines. The brackets may also serve as anchor points for horizontal cables that may support side curtains or the edges of the top canopy while interconnecting adjacent perimeter poles for additional structural integrity.

FIG. 1 is an exploded view of the connector assembly carried in the top end of each supporting pole. -
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary cross sectional view of the connector assembly carried in the top of each supporting pole. -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the plate bracket that is part of the connector assembly. -
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary perspective view of a shelter system of the present invention. -
FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view of a typical tubular perimeter supporting pole having two abutting and aligned sections that are interconnected by a circumscribing collar. -
FIG. 6 is a cross sectional view of a typical tubular ridge line supporting pole having three abutting and aligned sections that are interconnected at their joints by circumscribing collars. - An
exemplary shelter system 2 of the present invention is shown inFIG. 4 , to which reference is now made. A fabric, plastic orcomposite canopy 4 is supported by a plurality of spaced apart tubularperimeter support poles 6. The support poles are preferably made of ABS plastic pipe, or a similar product. Each of the perimeter poles contains aplate bracket 8 secured by a connector assembly to the pole's upper end. Thebracket 8 is intended to be the anchor point for one ormore ground lines 10. Preferably, the ground lines are fabric straps; however rope, cables and the like may be used. The lower ends of the ground lines are secured into the underlying ground withconventional stakes 13. The center of the canopy is preferably elevated over the height of the perimeter to form aridge 15 through the use of extended length ridgeline supporting poles 16. A horizontally disposedcable 18 may be strung taught between the connector assemblies of adjacent perimeter supporting poles from which cable may byhung side panels 20. In addition to their function as a hanger for side panels, thecables 18 serve to improve the structural integrity of the entire system. - The supporting
poles perimeter poles 6 and seven and one half to eight feet for theridge line poles 16. To serve this demand the perimeter poles preferably comprise two pieces ofidentical tubing FIG. 5 . Arigid collar 22, preferably of the same type of tubing of which the poles are constructed, is circumscribed tightly around the joint formed by the abutting ends of thepipe sections more hose clamps 24 which, when tightened, compress the collar around the tube by closingdiametric compression slots 23 cut into the top and bottom ends of the collar underneath the positions of thehose clamps 24. As shown inFIG. 6 ,ridge line poles 16 are constructed in a similar manner to that of theperimeter poles 6 except that a third section 6 c is interposed in abutting relation to and between the top andbottom sections sections 6 a and 6 c andsections 6 b and 6 c abut each other, acircumscribing collar 22, with securinghose clamps 24, is employed to maintain the sections in abutting relation and to provide resistance to bending at the joints. - As shown in
FIGS. 5 and 6 , thebottom sections 6 b of both supportingpoles end covering caps 26 to prevent the poles from working their way into the ground. Aneye bolt 28 diametrically inserted into the bottom portion of each of thepoles spike 30 is equipped with a laterally extendinghook 29 that engages theeye bolt 28 to hold the pole in its ground contacting position. - Having described the general aspects of the basic shelter system we turn to an explanation of the
novel connector assembly 30 that is disposed in the upper end of each of the supportingpoles FIGS. 1 and 2 . InFIGS. 1 and 2 the supporting pole will be referred to as aperimeter pole 6 however it should be noted that theconnector assembly 30 disposed in the top end of aridge line pole 16 is of the same construction. - The
connector assembly 30 is shown in an exploded view inFIG. 1 and in an assembled state inFIG. 2 . The upper end of the hollowtubular pole 6 receives anexpansion plug 32. The expansion plug itself is of conventional design such as those found in commercially available pipe plugs. To function in the assembly of the present invention theplug 32 includes a threaded shaft orpin 35 that, when in position within thetubular pole 6, is coaxial with the longitudinal center line of the tube. In addition to thepin 35, which may be the shaft of a carriage bolt, the expansion plug contains an elasticannular expander ring 37 and upper andlower expander cups nut 43 threaded onto theshaft 35 of the carriage bolt over alock washer 36 brings the two oppositely positionedcups annular ring 37 to expand in a diametrical direction. When the plug is positioned inside thetubular pole 6 and thenut 43 is tightened, thering 37 expands into the interior of thetubular pole 6 and thus securely anchors the plug and itsshaft 35 into the top end of thepole 6. Onto that portion of thecarriage bolt shaft 35 that extends upwardly beyond the tightenednut 43 additional elements of the shelter system are attached. - If necessary or desirable, the closed eyes of
tension cables 18 may be placed over theshaft 35 providing anchors for the ends of those cables whose function has been previously described. - Above the cable eyes, or above the
nut 43 if the cables are not used, a pair offender washers shaft 35 between which theshaft 35 receives anaperture 47 in the edge of theshelter canopy 4. This attachment between thecanopy 4 and each of theperimeter poles 6 secures the edges of the canopy to the poles. A similar attachment between theshaft 35 and an aperture in the ridge of the canopy secures the canopy to theridge line poles 16. - An
aperture 51 in theplate bracket 8 is placed on thecarriage bolt shaft 35 directly above the top fender washer 46 a. The plate bracket may contain a plurality ofholes 55 near its outside edge for attachment of the upper ends of one ormore ground lines 10. “S” hooks 59 are preferred as the intermediate connection between the ground lines and thebracket 8. The entire connector assembly is unitized by anut 61 threaded onto theshaft 35 above theplate bracket 8.
