Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tent made up of a frame and a canvas stretched over said frame and which is said to be modular insofar as it is made up of at least one elementary central tent and one or more complementary tent elements. reported at the opening or openings of said central tent.
- the central elementary tent has a central frame symmetrical with respect to a vertical axis, the base of which constitutes a regular polygon with an even number of sides and which is formed by '' at least two identical diametrical arches whose lower ends are supported on the ground, at the diametrically opposite vertices of the base polygon and which intersect, in their middle, at the top of said central reinforcement on the axis of vertical symmetry.
- the frame comprises at least four vertical lateral arches, the two lower ends of which rest on the ground respectively at the location of two vertices of the base polygon.
- each lateral arch is contained in a vertical plane passing through one side of the base polygon.
- this document provides at least two side tents of the tunnel type which extend outwards from lateral poles of the central frame.
- FR 2 649 744 it is mentioned the possibility of designing numerous variants of this modular tent, in particular by connecting the side tents to other side tents of the same type or to other tents of the type of central elementary tent. It is thus possible to obtain a mesh network whose nodes are formed by the central tents and whose connecting elements are formed by the side tents. It is also planned to attach several central tents and to connect them along their lateral poles so as to increase the extent of the central area of the tent. It is finally planned to connect to one or more lateral poles of the central tent only a canvas extending to the ground forming an apse.
- a zipper when one wants to be able to connect two tent portions, one has, along one of the edges of the first portion, a first slide, for example that which has the cursor and along the edge of the second portion, the second slide, the one without the cursor.
- the user must face the edges to be connected so that the end of the second slide can penetrate the cursor, then he moves said cursor along the two slides to obtain the nesting of the respective teeth of the two slides and therefore the bonding of the two portions of fabrics.
- the opening of the central elementary tent is equipped for example with a slider slide, it is imperative that the opening of the side tent or more generally of the other element to be connected, is in turn equipped with 'a slider without cursor. There is nothing technically impossible here, but this requires specific manufacturing, distinguishing between the central elementary tent and the other complementary elements to be connected.
- the goal that the applicant has set is to offer a modular tent which overcomes the aforementioned drawback, thanks to the provision particular connection means.
- a modular tent made up of: a. a central tent comprising a frame and a canvas stretched over said frame, having at least one opening formed in a vertical plane, b. and at least one additional element, connected to the central tent through said opening by means of connection.
- the opening and the complementary element have a vertical axis of symmetry
- connection means consist of first and second means able to cooperate with each other, arranged along the edge of the opening of the central tent and along the corresponding edge of the complementary element, the first means being on the same side (right or left) of the opening and the complementary element, and the second means being of the 'other side (left or right), on both sides of the axis of symmetry.
- the axis of symmetry is said to be “vertical”, both for the opening and for the complementary element because it is substantially in a vertical plane when the tent is mounted on the ground, considered to be the horizontal plane. .
- the right or left side in question is determined in the same way whether it is the central tent or an additional element: the right side is the side which is on the right of the axis of symmetry for the user who looks, from the outside and before the connection, the portion of canvas corresponding either to the central tent or to the complementary element.
- the complementary element When it comes to connecting the complementary element to the central tent, the complementary element is positioned facing the opening of the central tent, the two vertical axes of symmetry being in the same plane.
- the first means of connection of the central tent are located opposite the second means of the complementary element on one side of this vertical plane while the second means of the central tent are located opposite the first means of the element. complementary along the other side of the vertical plane. he it is then possible to make the first and second means cooperate for each of the two sides, on either side of the vertical plane, in order to obtain the desired connection.
- connection means are of the zipper type, the first means being a slide without cursor and the second means being a slide with cursor.
- connection means are of the self-gripping type with loops and hooks, the first means being a strip provided with hooks and the second means a strip provided with loops.
- the tent frame is, as in document FR 2 649 744, made up of flexible poles which ensure the tensioning of the fabric.
- the opening of the central tent has an isosceles triangle shape, the upper vertex of said triangle being materialized by the free end of an arch.
- the arrangement of the connection means in two distinct sections, actuable independently of one another by the user, is all the more justified by the fact that the apex angle creates a discontinuity at the level of the central area of the opening.
- the central tent has a triangular base, with three triangular openings and three poles; in addition each pole ensures the tensioning of the tent between on the one hand the upper vertex of an opening and on the other hand the two adjacent lower vertices of the other two openings.
- the central tent has a square base with four triangular openings and four poles, two of large dimension and two of smaller dimension. The two large arches ensure the tensioning of the fabric between the lower vertices of the openings, according to the four corners of the square. The smaller arches ensure the tensioning of the canvas between the upper vertices of the facing openings.
- the tent has a covering part fixed on the canvas, capable of overhanging the intermediate zone on either side of the axis DD 'between the first and second connection means.
- Figure 1 is a perspective representation of a triangular central tent and three equally triangular openings
- Figure 2 is a top plan view of Figure 1
- Figure 3 shows the connection of the central tent of Figure 1 with a panel forming a straight door
- Figures 4 and 5 illustrate the principle of connection respectively with two zipper portions (fig. 4) and two portions of hook and loop bands (fig. 5)
- Figure 6 is a partial view of the connection with zipper section
- Figure 7 is a perspective view of an assembled triangular tent with two side openings are equipped with sun visors.
- the modular tent of the present invention has the particularity that complementary tent elements, such as straight door or inclined door, sunshade or tunnel, can be grafted or connected to a central tent without there being any particular manipulation to do at the connection means precisely because of the specificity of the arrangement of said connection means.
- the central tent 1 has a triangular base 2. It comprises a canvas 3 which is stretched by three arches 4, 5, 6, which delimit three lateral openings 7, 8, 9. These lateral openings are in a vertical plane which corresponds to the three sides of the triangular base 2.
- each arch 4 has one end 4a which rests on the ground at the level of a vertex of the triangular base, while its other end 4b corresponds to the upper vertex 10 of the opening 9 which is opposite to said summit.
- each poles 4, 5, 6, are determined so that each opening, delimited by the oblique edges 11, 12 of the tent fabric, is in a vertical plane passing through one side of the axis 2 and has an axis of symmetry DD 'passing through the upper vertex 10.
- Figure 3 is illustrated the connection on this triangular central tent 1 of an additional element having the simplest structure since it is a straight door, formed of a triangular panel having the same configuration as the corresponding lateral opening.
- this connection is obtained by means of four independent sections of connection means which are fixed respectively along the two oblique edges 1 1, 12 of the opening 8 of the central tent 1 and along the two oblique edges of the panel 16 forming the door 17.
- the two cursors 15, 22 are in the immediate vicinity of the axis DD ', as illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 6. It suffices for the user to penetrate the cursor 15 secured to the central tent 1 the end 19a of the slide 19 of the panel 16 which faces it. It is thus possible to close from top to bottom half of the door 17 by moving this single slider 15. The complete closing of the door 17 is carried out by moving the second slider 22 secured to the panel 16.
- FIG 5 there is shown an alternative embodiment in which the zipper sections have been replaced by sections of a self-gripping mechanical closure system, of the hook and loop type.
- the sliders without slider have been replaced by sections of strip 24 provided with hooks 25 while the slider slides have been replaced by sections of strip 26 provided with loops 27.
- the connection is obtained simply by applying the loops against the hooks of so that there is interpenetration of hooks in the loops, as is well known in closings called VELCRO.
- the complementary element was a straight door. Thanks to the invention it is possible to connect any tent element, whether it is an inclined door, forming an projection relative to the triangular base 2 of the central tent. It can also be as shown in FIG. 7, two adjoining central tents 27, 28, connected according to two triangular lateral openings placed opposite. This FIG. 7 also shows two sun visors 30, connected to two adjacent lateral openings of these two main tents 27, 28.
- the present invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described by way of non-exhaustive example. In particular, all tent configurations, with a triangular or polygonal base, in particular square, can be envisaged. Likewise, the openings can have different configurations.
- this opening When it is an opening which is under tension by a free end of one or more arches, this opening can have a triangular configuration as in the above example but also trapezoidal if there are two arches, or even in the form of a marquee if there are three arches.
- the configuration of said opening can be semi-circular when it is a single hoop whose the two ends apply to the ground as in document FR 2 649 744; the opening may have the shape of an ogive if it is two independent arches joined at the level of the axis of symmetry of the opening. It can also have a semi-circular upper part and two oblique lateral uprights if it is a small hoop not resting on the ground.
- the element acting as a sun visor has a transverse fold on which are mounted first and second connection means, so that when the sun visor has been put in place and connected according to the opening the central tent, it is possible to connect the panel forming the right door according to this transverse fold.
- this connecting element is also possible to implement a connecting element, to be connected to the central tent (like any additional element), this connecting element having the particularity of comprising a plurality of folds, each being equipped with the first and second connection means so that it can allow the assembly of other complementary elements at the same opening of the central tent.
- a given complementary element which comprises two antagonistic sets of first and second connection means, the first of these sets being intended for the connection of this complementary element to the opening of the central tent and the second set being intended for the connection of this element to another complementary element.
- the connecting element only serves as an interface between different complementary elements. It comprises a plurality and at least three antagonistic sets of first and second connection means, the first of these sets is intended for the connection of this connecting element to the opening of the central tent and the other sets of first and second means of connection being intended for connection with other complementary elements.
- the term "antagonist" was chosen because the arrangement (right, left) relative to the axis of symmetry of the element must remain in accordance with what has been said previously in order to obtain the cooperation of the first and second means of connection opposite during assembly. If we take the example illustrated in Figure 4 according to which the opening of the tent is equipped on the left of the axis DD 'with a closure without cursor and on the right with a closure with cursor, the element complementary, possibly connecting, which includes a plurality of antagonistic sets of first and second connection means should necessarily be equipped with: a) a first set capable of making the connection with the opening of the tent, and which will include on the left of its axis of symmetry a slider slide and on the right a slider without cursor, b) at least one second set in which the arrangement of the slider slides and without cursor will be reversed.
