A flexible and foldable sheet, preferably opaque and intended to make up a cover of the camping tent, incorporates a plurality of anchors, and a corresponding plurality of connections, for a temporary fastening to the surface of the ground. Likewise, a plurality of rods, telescopically extendable, are located in the outer peripheral edge of the sheet, in order to keep it tense in the unfolded configuration thereof.
The sheet incorporates a plurality of discontinuities coated with a corresponding plurality of sheets of transparent material, in order to make up windows that enable natural light to enter inside the camping tent.
The incorporation of at least one longitudinal discontinuity in the sheet is likewise provided, which is intended to make up an access entrance inside the tent. Corresponding closing elements, preferably complementary Velcro strips, are arranged in the perimeter edges of the discontinuity, in order to maintain said discontinuity temporarily closed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
As a complement to the present description, and for the purpose of helping to make the characteristics of the invention more readily understandable, in accordance with a preferred practical exemplary embodiment thereof, said description is accompanied by a set of drawings constituting an integral part of the same, which by way of illustration and not limitation represent the following:
