Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A tent is formed of a plurality of like bows struck on an arc of predetermined radius which may be eight feet more or less in radius.
  • the ends of the bows have a pivot means thereon by which the bows are pivoted to opposite plates so that the bottom bows can swing upwardly against the central vertical bow or a pair of central vertical bows may swing from vertical to horizontal positions.
  • Oval sections of fabric are joined to gether to fill the areas between the bows, stitched or otherwise secur edtogether and to a listing strip at each edge through each of which a bow is threaded.
  • the fabric terminates around each bow so they can move away from each other.
  • a cord orline can be pulled to raise one or the other of the horizontal bows or gear means, manually or motor driven to operate the vertical bows or the vertical or horizontal bows selectively.
  • the cord or gears can be used on the inside or outside of the tent to raise or lower the bows.
  • the invention pertains to a tent of semi-spherical shape having a pair of triangular plates which are secured to stakes in the ground, the spaced plate supporting the ends of a plurality of arcuately shaped tubes or rods which when erected may have the cover element pulled thereover somewhat in the manner of a cap when pulled on ones head.
  • Oval shaped fabric sections could be stitched or otherwise secured together and to a listing strip at each edge through which a bow could be threaded.
  • the listing strip supports the fabric panels between the bows when the bottom bows are moved into engagement with the ground to enclose the entire area circumscribed by the ground engaging bows.
  • two vertical bows are employed at the center of the tent about which the adjacent edges of the fabric are secured so that the bows may pivot outwardly from each other to uncover one or both sides of the tent.
  • the outermost bow on each side of the centerplane moves downwardly into a horizontal ground engaging position.
  • gear means may be used for moving the central bows away from each other to cause the other bows to move downwardly therewith on opposite sides of the centerplane.
  • a gear mechanism may be provided which is r'novable from either of the gears on the bottom bows to either one of the gears on the top bows so as to move either of the horizontal bows upwardly to vertical position or either of the vertical central bows downwardly to horizontal position.
  • only one side of the tent need be open through the movement of either the vertical or horizontal bows or both sides may be open or closed as desired by the movement of the bows.
  • the radius of the bows is small and provides rigidity thereto, the operation thereof from one end is sufficient to produce the operation at the opposite end and the gear mechanism need be employed only on one end of the bows.
  • the bows will be more flexible and the gear means will be required at both sides of the tent on both ends of the bows.
  • FIG. I is a view of a tent of the present invention when in collapsed position adjacent to one of a pair of stakes to which the tent is secured;
  • FIG. 2 is a view of the structure illustrated in FIG. 1, showing the outside of the tent in raised position;

  • FIG. 13 is a view of structure similar to that illus trated in FIG. 6 showing another form of the invention.
  • FIG. 14 is an enlarged view of the supporting plate for one end of the bows and its pivoted support
  • FIG. 15 is an enlarged sectional view of the structure illustrated in FIG. 13, taken on the line 15I5 thereof.
  • the tent 11 in one form of the present invention, has a pair of triangular shaped plates 12 to which a pair of ground engaging bows I3 and I4 are secured by pivots 35.
  • a central bow 17 is secured to the top center of the plate 12 preferably by the pivot 35 and a bolt 18 to prevent the pivoting thereof relative to the plates.
  • Intermediate bows I9, 20, 21 and 22 are also secured by pivots 35 to the plates for movement upwardly against the central bow 17 for producing a compact arrangement for shipping, as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • Oval shaped sections 23 of' fabric are secured together and to a listing strip 24 at each edge with one of the bows threaded therethrough so as to support the fabric in stretched position, as illustrated in FIG. 2, when the tent is erected after the plates 12 are secured to stakes 25 by a pair of bolts 26.
  • the bows may be of true arcuate shape so as to have the tent semi-spherical when erected or of a shape varying from a true arcuate form.
  • the bows may be struck from any radius but are struck from a radius of four to eight feet for a camping tent although the radius may be varied when used for purposes other than for camping.
  • a line 27 is secured to the bottom bow 13 and through guides 28 on bows 19, 21 and 17 and extended outwardly along the bow 17 through a guide 28. By pulling on the line 27 the bows 13, I9 and 21 will be raised against the bow 17 to provide an opening for entering the tent, for ventilating or for exposing the interior to the sunlight.
  • a similar line 29 is secured in the same manner to the bottom bow I3 and through guides 31 on the bows 19, 21 and 17 on the inside of the tent. to extend downwardly from the bow 17 in position to be used by one inside of the tent for raising or lowering the bows 13, 19 and 21. It is to be understood that similar arrangements can be made for the bows 14, 20 and 22 so that either side of the tent can be raised or lowered from the inside or outside thereof through the manipulation of the lines 27 and 29.
  • the bows may be flattened at the ends 32 and provided with an aperture 33 which receives a shoulder portion 34 of the pivot 35 so as to prevent the end of the bows from being clamped against the plate 12 mounted for pivotal movement thereon.
  • the pivots 35 have a pair of nuts 36 screwed thereon in locked relation and in fixed position on the plates 12.
  • a bolt 18 extends through aligned openings in the ends 32 of the bow 17 and the plates 12 to secure the bow in vertical position against pivoting.
  • the bow 17 may pivot either side of the vertical position but the bows therebelow cannot pivot beyond the vertical position because the pivoted ends 32 of the bow 17 prevents them from passing thereover.
  • the other bows may be pivoted upwardly thereagainst to be in compact relation as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • Suitable areas 37 form openings in the fabric which may be provided with screening material 38 and flaps 39 which are used to close the openings.
  • the bottom bows 13 and 14 may be raised from the ground to provide ventilation throughout the tent area if the screened openings are objectionable.
  • the tent is simple to erect and take down through the pivotal movement of the bows to or from the central bow 17 and the securing or the removal of the bolts 26 to or from the plates 12 and the stakes 25.
  • the lines 27 and 29 the door is eliminated providing a tent having the enclosed area protected against the entrance of rain by the fabric secured between the bows.
  • FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 an extension of the inventive concept is illustrated wherein, instead of using the single central bow 17, a pair of central bows 41 are utilized which supports the top edges of the fabric 33 when pulled around each bow and stitched upon itself.
  • the bows 13 and 14, 19 and 20, 21 and 22 along with bows 42 support the fabric 30 in a manner as pointed out hereinabove.
  • Supporting plates 43 have threaded apertures 44 provided therein which re ceive a shoulder screw 45 having a thread 46 on one end to permit the bows to freely pivot.
  • one of the upper screws 45 support a gear 47 to which a bow 41 is secured by a pair of screws 48.
  • a like gear 49 is secured by nuts 48 to the other bow 41 and rotatably mounted on a screw 51 which is threaded on the plate 43 and secured by a nut 46 in a fixed relation therewith.
  • the gear 49 has teeth 52 in mesh with the teeth 52 on the gear 47 to have both bows 41 move in unison.
  • a pinion gear 53 has like teeth 52 thereon which mesh with the teeth on one of the gears 49 when supported on a shaft 54 extending through the plate 43 with each of the ends having a crank 55 secured thereto.
