Definitions

  • Portable shelters and tents are used for numerous activities including camping, sporting events, picnics, beach-going, fairs and the provision of simple shade from the sun and protection from other weather elements.
  • a majority of conventional shelters are of the "instant" type wherein the frame is comprised of interconnected members, hubs, brackets and hinges so that deployment is relatively quick and easy.
  • the canopy portion of the "instant" shelter can be attached to the frame prior to deployment or can be attached after the shelter is erected.
  • the present invention provides a system for easily indicating to users the preferred method of deployment and for assisting the users in expanding the shelter frame in a simple and efficient manner.
  • a shelter frame including at least four standing rods and a shelter top frame supported by each of the standing rods, the shelter top frame including a lateral supporting rod assembly arranged between each of the standing rods, the lateral supporting rod assembly including at least two cross pivoted bars pivotally connected together end to end, the bars of the lateral supporting rod assembly connected to the standing rods through a fixed bracket and an operably connected bracket, characterized in that at least one set of two diagonally arranged standing rods includes a handle on its upper end.
  • the deployment handle is located on a fixed bracket.
  • the deployment handle is located on a sliding bracket.
  • the shelter utilizes one of two deployment handle placements. It should be understood, however, that the mechanisms described herein can be applied to other types of portable shelters including tents having an attached floor and side walls.
  • the present invention provides a visual for the user on where to grab the shelter frame and how to easily deploy the shelter.
  • the present invention helps prevent users from pulling on all four upright poles at the same time which causes undue force on the scissor frame and ultimately results in premature breakage of the steel tubing.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the shelter in a fully deployed upright
  • FIG.2 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of the handle of the present invention.
  • FIG.3 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment of the handle of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a conventional portable shelter 10 that includes a frame assembly 12 and a canopy (not shown).
  • Frame assembly 12 is of a conventional construction and 12 includes leg members 14 and upper frame 16, preferably made of steel.
  • leg members 14 There are preferably four leg members 14 for supporting a four-sided shelter, each leg member 14 comprising an upper leg 18 telescopically connected to a lower leg 20 to enable the entire frame assembly 12 to be set at various heights through the use of locking mechanisms (not shown) which are known and used in the industry.
  • Base feet (not shown) are located at the lower end of lower legs 20 to provide a stable foundation for the shelter frame.
  • Upper frame 16 comprises truss assembly 22 which extends between the leg members 14 on each side of the shelter near the top edge and roof assembly 24.
  • truss assembly 22 is comprised of multiple individual truss members 23 which are criss-crossed and connected to each other at hinge points to allow for scissor-like folding of the members for deployment and collapsing of the frame.
  • Roof assembly 24 comprises roof members 25 and center hub 26 which are similarly connected to each other at hinge points to allow for expansion and collapsing.
  • hinge points are uni-directional hinges which are known in the industry and which allow the frame structure to maintain its desired rigidity.
  • the upper criss-crossed truss members 23 having ends located at each corner of the frame are connected to a corner bracket 28 and the lower criss-crossed truss members 23 having ends located at each corner of the frame are connected to a sliding bracket 30 as shown in FIGS.1-3.
  • the sliding bracket 30 comprises a locking sleeve that can move vertically along the upper leg 18 to allow for adjustment of the frame height.
  • FIG. 2 A first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 2, wherein deployment handle 32 is connected to the sliding bracket 30 on leg member 14.
  • Deployment handle 32 is preferably a loop of nylon or polypropylene webbing, or a similar functioning material such as grosgrain ribbon, rope, folded fabric or the like. Although a loop is preferred, deployment handle 32 could also be a rigid or semi-rigid ring, a rigid or semi-rigid toggle handle, or similar structure provided it allows easy gripping by a user.
  • Deployment handle 32 is preferably permanently attached to frame by a rivet 34 or other permanent attachment means such as a screw, nut and bolt or the like.
  • the deployment handle 32 may be attached by a more temporary means such as quick release buckles, ladder lock buckles, clips, hook and loop connectors, toggles and other releasable attachments known in the industry.
  • FIG. 3 An alternative embodiment is shown in FIG. 3, wherein the deployment handle 32 is attached to the frame 12 at the upper corner bracket 28. Although it is preferred for deployment handle 32 to be attached to the frame 12 in an upper corner area when the frame is collapsed, it is within the scope of the invention for deployment handle 32 to be attached at any point along the vertical axis of upper frame 16 (not shown).
  • Two deployment handles 32 are preferred. The deployment handles 32 are located in opposed corners of the shelter frame 12 as shown in FIG.
  • the shelter may have more than two deployment handles, although this is not the preferred method for a four-sided shelter. It is also within the scope of the present invention for the shelter 10 to have more than four corners - such as a hexagonal shaped shelter with six corners, an octagonal shelter with eight corner and the like. In such a case, the shelter would preferably have at least two handles which would be located on opposite corners.
  • the shelter may have additional features known in the industry such as side walls, cup holders, vents, leg weights, stakes, guy lines and the like.
  • the present invention would also be used with a tent having sidewalls and a floor if the tent comprises a similar frame structure.
  • the folded shelter is set on its base feet in an upright position as is conventionally done.
  • Two users each grasp a deployment handle 32 located on opposed corners at or near the upper corner brackets. Each user then moves outward in opposite directions from each other, pulling the shelter frame corner as they move. The users continue moving outward until the shelter frame has been expanded to its standard footprint. At this point, the users can raise the shelter frame to its desired height and lock the frame in place. If the canopy is not already attached to the shelter frame prior to initial deployment, the canopy can be placed on and attached to the frame either before or after the frame has been raised to its desired height.
