Definitions

• the invention relates to a tent in tunnel or dome shape with at least one sheet of elastic material, such as aluminum, plastic or the like., On which is arranged or guided by associated holding means of a tarpaulin.
• Such tents are known. They have a semicircular cross-section. This is associated with the disadvantage that the arches and the tent wall already extend after a few centimeters above the floor towards the interior. As a result, there is a low crosswind stability and the usable interior space is low.
• Object of the present invention is to provide a tent in tunnel or dome shape, in which in particular these disadvantages of known tents are avoided.
• the object is achieved in a tent of the type mentioned above essentially with the features of claim 1. Accordingly, the ends of a sheet are fixed to one another at a first distance, which is smaller than the distance between two culmination points of the sheet in the region of the opposing sides of the tent. As a result, a greater resistance to crosswind is achieved. Furthermore, a usable width, which exceeds the width of the tent footprint, is formed above the bottom of the tent interior. With this measure, an increase in usable space is associated with a constant space requirement.
• the bow ends can intervene in the floor itself or separately fixed receptacles for their lateral fixation on the floor, possibly with curved end sections.
• At least one holding means is provided which engages outwardly at the culmination points. This causes a further stabilization and a reproducible position of the culmination points in repeated tent erection and dismantling.
• the holding means as z. B. are formed about a triangle descriptive guying before, at least one belt and / or at least one plane side fixed tab, which pick up at the culmination points.
• the respective strap can be extended or shortened in use as desired.
• the tabs are characterized by particularly easy handling.
• the applied tensile stress can be adapted as desired to the prevailing conditions, for example to the wind conditions.
• the tensile stress may, given the flexibility of the sheet material, help to give the sheet the desired shape other than the semicircular shape. It is also advantageous if the height hi of the culmination points above the bottom surface is smaller than about 1/2 of the total cell height h 2 , preferably about 1/3 of the total cell height h 2 . This arrangement has proven to be particularly stable at high wind speeds.
• the sheets are made of an elastic material, such as. Aluminum, glass fiber materials or carbon fiber material.
• the sheet can be plastically at least pre-bent.
• Fig. 1 is a side view of a tent according to the invention.
• Fig. 2 is a slightly enlarged compared to the detail of Fig. 1 in
• a tent 1 in tunnel or dome shape is associated with the advantage that with high wind stability, a large usable interior space is provided with low space requirement.
• An essential part of the tent 1 is a tarpaulin 2, which in principle can be provided as an inner tent or outer tent.
• the figures show a tarpaulin 2 for use as an outer tent.
• the Plane 2 has on the outside holding means 3 for receiving and guiding elastic sheets 4.
• the holding means 3 may, for example, be solid, channel-like pockets or loops on the flat side into which the sheets 4 are threaded. As can be seen from Fig.
• the arc ends 6 and 7 are set at a first defined distance on the ground, which is less than a second defined distance between two outer culmination points 8, 9 of the lateral bulge of the tarpaulin 2. Between the two culmination points 8, 9 extends the range of maximum distance (interior width).
• the maximum distance l 2 is located at height hi above the bottom B.
• the distance can be achieved by means of separate holding means z. B in the form of a tensile mat 5, which forms the tent floor to be secured. Also, a tensile belt can be provided instead of or in addition to the mat 5.
• the holding means may also have a receptacle 10 fixed relative to the bottom for the respective bow end 6, 7.
• the receptacle 10 may be an eyelet, sleeve or the like, for example, into which the bow end 6, 7 can be inserted.
• the lower arched end 7 can be tapered in the form of a cone, so that it can easily be plugged into the receptacle 10 with the taper.
• a thicker part sits on an upper side of the receptacle 10.
• the angle ⁇ included between an arc end 6, 7 and the surface 4 located underneath the arch 4 amounts to more than 90 °, preferably at least 100 ° or more, for improved stability in strong wind conditions.
• the required angle> 90 ° can be realized in the region of the bow ends 6, 7 by means of a corresponding (greater) inward bend or inward bend of the bow 4 deviating from the semicircular shape of conventional tunnel tents.
• a second holding means 12 is provided, which acts in the region of an arc 4 in each case at the culmination points 8, 9.
• the holding means 12 is designed as a guying device which optionally has a belt 13 with an adjustable belt buckle 14 or a tension plate, not shown, attached on the plane side, whose top point coincides with the respective culmination point 8, 9. It is advantageous if the guying device is adjustable. As a result, the voltage applied to the points of culmination 8, 9 can be adjusted to the outside. It is also possible to fix a herring 15 at any distance relative to the tent wall in the ground B for fixing the free end of the belt 13 or the tab; Thereafter, the buckles 14 are adjusted to their correct length and the strap 13 and the tab stretched in the required manner.
• the culmination points are 8, is located at a height hi above the ground B which h 2 at most about 1/2 of the total height of the tent 9, but preferably h at about 1/3 of the total height tent 2.
• the sheets 4 may consist of elastic material, such as. Alumi- nium, glass fiber material or carbon fiber material.
• the construction of the tent 1 is facilitated if the sheets 4 are at least partially pre-bent according to the desired tent shape and are thus kept in their shape with the aid of the holding means 12 under the required bias.
• the respective arch 4 can be used with the help of
