To allwltom 'it may concern:
Be it known that l, ALBERT GLENN LUKnN- BILL, a citizen ofthe United States, and a resident of Fueblo, county of Pueblo, and State of Colorado, liaveinvented anew and useful Improvement in Canvas Camping De' ment are first, to provide in one.,connected Acanvas device a tent' that may betised in various forms, among them an A tent with` carpet, asunshade, a walltent, a hospital tent, a sleeping bag, a hammock and a stretcher; second, to provide facilities for ad4 justing the device for the different uses, all in one construction; third, to provide a device` Vfor the uses stated that may be readily adjusted in small space for transportation and so arranged in construction and form, to
gether with snaps and rings, that in connection with telescopic poles alli-parts are attached to avoid loss and to facilitate use. I
attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in theccompanying drawings in whieh v Figure 1 isa plan view of my canvas device as-it appears spread outllat with the several snaps, rings and flaps in' place; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of my invention used as a sleeping bag; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of my invention applied as a wall tent; Fig.h 4 isl a perspective view of my invention applied as an A tent; Fig. 5 is a perspective view. of my invention applied as a hospital A Vtent or sunshade Fig. 6 is a perspective view A of niy'invention applied asa hospital wall Similar numerals throughout the several views.
My canvas device in the form l have de signed for attaining the several uses as set forth is found in Fig. '1 and consists of a rec tan ular parallelogram of canvas cloth inclu ed within the lines AHA, O, C, and may y be constructed all as one part or with seams at lines the portion included within the lines A, A and B, B will constitute the roof of the tent, in which, at the apex, reinforcing rings leere placed for upright end poles gable pieces 1, being four in number, are in the form of a right angled triangle, the hyrefer to similar parts;
potenuse of which is on line A1 A, the apen or more acute angle at 16, the less acute angle at 12, attached "to and made a part ofthe roof piece heretofore described, leaving space 3 as shown; the flap along line 3*L is one-half the width of the tent; the portion to form the side walls is included within the lines O, Aga andB at each end of thestrue ture; the end portions of the walls 2, 2, 2,2, are made by extending the wall pieces or by attaching `to the wall pieces end pieces 2, 2, 2, 2, which are of the same height as the wall pieces and in length one-half of the width of the tent; attachedto said gable pieces are weathei` flaps or strips 1 a and 3 attached to one of said wall pieces is flap 27; along lines B, B. are loops 10, 10 and on one end `reinforcing loops 9, 9,- attaching to the canvas,
on the gable piece of each end, loops and rings 6 attached to canvas correspond to and register with loops and snaps 6a; loops` and rings 18 on gable piece correspond to and register with loops and snaps 18a on adjacent end pieces 2; on the wallend pieces, 2, of
each end, loops and rings 17 correspond to and register with loops and snaps 17a; rings 6, 17 and 18 as well as snaps 6a, 17", and 18a are on the opposite side of the canvas from all other rings andsnaps and in anypf the uses herein set forth will be on the inside.
To employ the device as a wall tent a telescopic ridge pole is extended by pulling pipes- 23 outwardly from including pipe 22 and securing them by set screw 2li; end
of including ipe 19, fastened by set screw '19, and in li (e manner drawing out lpipe 21 from including pipe 20 and securing it by poles are'extended by drawing pipe 2li-out fastening snaps 18a in rings 18 the gable and wall end pieces are united and by fastening snaps 6a in rings 6 the gable pieces of each vend are fastened together; the end Wall pieces may be attached securely to the ground by stakes driven through rings 8'; thus forming n I a Wall tent as shown in Fig. 2.
Aseen, that by detaching the snaps holding the gable pieces together at the ends, the gable lt 'may be pieces 1 may be 'thrown back on or fastened under the-roof of the tent, leaving the tent With complete Walls around making a very desirable tent for use 1n Warm countries or,
as a sunshade; or additional upright poles. lmay-be used, each of the end Wall ieces Wra ped around the top of a corner pole and onealf of the tent raised and-extended as a sunshade or for hospital purposes as shown in Fig. 6.
To use my contriv'anc'e for the (purpose of an la tent the end 4poles are a justed to the required height and together With ridge' pole laced in position, the Walls of the tent are olded inwardly, end pieces 2 folding.
over or. under Wall pieces, thus avoiding bunching, the flap 27 overlappin the corres onding Wall piece at the mi dle of the oor, and the tent is fastened to the ground by lmeans of ordinary stakes through rings 12, gable pieces to be fastened as Was done inwall tent, making a perfect A tent with canvas floor as shown 1n Fig. 4. To construct from the A tent formation a sunshade or hospital tent, by the .use of additionalv corner poles one side of the roof is eXtended with the Wall forming a side shade as shown in Fig. 5.
To fold the canvas device for transportation as Well as for use as a hammock, sleeping bag or stretcher, the device is spread out With the rings 5, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 14, and snaps 15, underneath; the gable pieces 1 are folded back along lines A A on the roof piece 5 the Wall piece on which is fla 27 is folded hack over on the'gable androof pieces at line B, the width of the Wall piece,"and then foldf ed over so that line B lies on the other line B, or, over to the near edgeof the o posite Wall piece the remaining portion of the roof iece is. then folded over the last revious old of Wall piece 5 one of the end Wa l pieces 2 is then turned over the folds the opposite or other Wall and end pieces are then brought over the top of the folds so far made, the
remaining single end Wall piece is folded under the folds 3 the snaps 15 are fastened to rings 5, 5 and 11, 11 as in Fig. 3, thus leavin' exposed at each corner reinforced rings 5 land 12. At this point the device is ready for rollingfor transportation or for the uses as a pieces may be fastened togetherwith snaps 17El and rings 1'Z1and the same held above the sleepers head by means of a pole held by cross stakes or some such means, as shown in- Fig. 3.
'lhe device being folded as explained,'if it is desired for use as a hammock, rcpesineorner rings 5 and-12 may be attached to trees or any suitable objects and the device swung as a hammock; and'if it is desired the device has the further advantage that when in the hammock formation the user may get in belween the folds as-when used for sleeping if it is desired to use .the device as a stretcher, being folded, tent poles, guns or other poles may be fastened by means 'of ropes 4 in rings 5, 11 and 1,2,
The whole' device may be rolled and tied l I' for transportation including therein telescolpic poles and ropes and by this'means the for transportation, With the addition of tent stakes, contains a complete contrivance ada table to the various uses herein set fort and it is further seen from the conf struction of my device that the use shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 may represent just one-half lof a construction obtainable by the use of another device With the op Aosite side fastened doWn and the Whole unitedin the middie by use of snaps 15 in onedevice being attached to rings 14 in an adjoining device.
Having thus described my device so that 'one versed in the art could construct and use the same, and knowing that canvases'have been made adaptable to similar uses what l .claim is 1. in a canvas 'cam in device composed of a sheet of fabric in tlie fgcrm of a'rectangular parallelogram, four end Wall pieces, four triangular gable pieces, saidend `Wall pieces and gable pieces being sepaatefrom each other, each end wall piece and each triangular gable piece attached to said parallelogram, engaging and registerin snaps and rings at the ends of said end Wal pieces, substantially as described.
