Description

TENTE GONFLABLE, NOTAMMENT DESTINÉE A LA PRATIQUE DU INFLATABLE TENT, ESPECIALLY INTENDED FOR THE PRACTICE OF
CAMPING CAMPING
Domaine technique Technical area
L’invention se situe dans le domaine technique de la fabrication de tente et a pour objet une tente présentant une structure gonflable destinée à la pratique du camping The invention is in the technical field of tent manufacturing and relates to a tent having an inflatable structure intended for camping
Cette application n’est toutefois pas limitative et la tente pourra également être utilisée pour d’autres applications nécessitant un abri temporaire ou encore à des fins récréatives. This application is not, however, limiting and the tent can also be used for other applications requiring temporary shelter or for recreational purposes.
Technique antérieure Prior art
A ce jour la plupart des tentes connues comportent des armatures, définissant la structure et la forme générale de la tente, sur lesquelles sont tendues des toiles notamment au moyen de tendeurs et de crochets d’ancrage. Ces tentes présentent de nombreux avantages, cela étant ces tentes présentent également quelques inconvénients parmi lesquels un assemblage fastidieux, des risques fréquents de casse ou de perte des arceaux, des problèmes d’étanchéité en cas de mauvais positionnement de la toile de toit. De plus ces tentes ne comportent qu’une simple toile au niveau du sol et doivent par conséquent pour assurer un confort suffisant à la fois être disposées sur un sol plat et être équipées d’au moins un tapis de sol. To date, most of the known tents have frames, defining the structure and the general shape of the tent, on which canvases are stretched, in particular by means of tensioners and anchoring hooks. These tents have many advantages, but these tents also have some drawbacks, including tedious assembly, frequent risks of breakage or loss of the poles, sealing problems in the event of incorrect positioning of the roof canvas. In addition, these tents have only a single canvas at ground level and must therefore, to ensure sufficient comfort, both be placed on a flat ground and be equipped with at least one groundsheet.
On connaît également des tentes gonflables, obtenues à partir des boudins gonflables reliés entre eux par des moyens de serrage. Cela étant ces tentes sont compliquées à monter et nécessitent souvent de multiples opérations de gonflage. Dans ces tentes, les boudins sont utilisés pour soutenir le toit en toile mais les boudins et le sol de la tente, constitué d’un simple textile, doivent être mis en tension au moyen de tendeurs ou de cordes et de sardines pour maintenir la forme de la tente. Inflatable tents are also known, obtained from inflatable tubes interconnected by clamping means. However, these tents are complicated to set up and often require multiple inflation operations. In these tents, the struts are used to support the canvas roof but the struts and the floor of the tent, made of a simple textile, must be put in tension by means of turnbuckles or ropes and sardines to maintain the shape. of the tent.

La figure 3 représente une vue schématique de la partie supérieure de l’exemple de réalisation de la figure 1 une fois le gonflage réalisé, Figure 3 is a schematic view of the upper part of the embodiment of Figure 1 once the inflation has been completed,
La figure 4 représente une vue schématique de la face inférieure de la partie inférieure de l’exemple de réalisation de la figure 1 . Figure 4 shows a schematic view of the underside of the lower part of the embodiment of Figure 1.
Description des modes de réalisation La présente invention vise à protéger une tente gonflable 1 . Description of embodiments The present invention aims to protect an inflatable tent 1.
Cette tente gonflable 1 comprend une partie inférieure autoporteuse 2 intégrant un matelas 3, une partie supérieure gonflable 4. La tente gonflable 1 peut comprendre un unique arceau 5, cela étant dans le mode de réalisation des figures annexées la tente 1 comporte deux arceaux latéraux 5 reliés par une traverse 6. On pourra également prévoir plus de deux arceaux latéraux 5 reliés par une ou plusieurs traverses 6 notamment pour réaliser des tentes de grandes dimensions ou pour obtenir des géométries plus complexes. This inflatable tent 1 comprises a self-supporting lower part 2 incorporating a mattress 3, an inflatable upper part 4. The inflatable tent 1 may comprise a single arch 5, this being in the embodiment of the appended figures, the tent 1 comprises two lateral arches 5. connected by a crossbar 6. It is also possible to provide more than two lateral arches 5 connected by one or more crossbars 6, in particular to produce large-sized tents or to obtain more complex geometries.
La tente 1 comprend en outre des moyens de fixation 7 d’une toile de toit 8 sur la partie supérieure 4, et des moyens de liaison 9 entre les pieds 10 des arceaux 5 et la partie inférieure autoporteuse 2. The tent 1 further comprises means 7 for fixing a roof canvas 8 on the upper part 4, and connecting means 9 between the feet 10 of the arches 5 and the self-supporting lower part 2.
En se reportant aux figures 1 et 2 représentants la tente 1 respectivement reposant sur le sol et en suspension, on voit que les parties inférieure 2 et supérieure 4 sont assemblées par des moyens de liaison 9. Referring to Figures 1 and 2 showing the tent 1 respectively resting on the ground and suspended, it can be seen that the lower 2 and upper 4 parts are assembled by connecting means 9.
Avantageusement les moyens de liaison 9 comportent des fourreaux 1 1 ménagés au niveau de la partie inférieure 2 et permettant la réception et le maintien des extrémités libres 12 des arceaux latéraux 5 après gonflage. Advantageously, the connecting means 9 comprise sleeves 11 formed at the level of the lower part 2 and allowing the reception and maintenance of the free ends 12 of the lateral arches 5 after inflation.
Pour réaliser ces fourreaux 1 1 on prévoit, dans le mode de réalisation annexé, une jupe 13 rapportée sur le matelas 3. Cette jupe 13, s’étendant en direction des arceaux latéraux 5, a une double fonction d’une part elle permet d’éviter les remontées d’humidité ou d’eau en constituant une barrière de protection. D’autre part la jupe 13 est constituée de façon à présenter sensiblement au niveau des bords du matelas 3 des réservations constituant les fourreaux 1 1 précités. To achieve these sleeves 1 1 is provided, in the attached embodiment, a skirt 13 attached to the mattress 3. This skirt 13, extending in the direction of the side arches 5, has a dual function on the one hand it allows '' avoid rising damp or water by constituting a protective barrier. On the other hand, the skirt 13 is formed so as to present substantially at the level of the edges of the mattress 3 reservations constituting the aforementioned sleeves 1 1.
Cela étant dans d’autres modes de réalisation, la jupe 13 ne comprendra pas de fourreaux 1 1 , ces derniers pouvant être prévus sur d’autres zones de la partie inférieure 2 et par exemple au niveau des bords ou des coins du matelas 3. However, in other embodiments, the skirt 13 will not include sheaths 11, the latter possibly being provided on other areas of the lower part 2 and for example at the edges or corners of the mattress 3.
La partie inférieure 2 comporte un matelas gonflable 3, notamment en textile de double paroi enduit en PVC. Ce matelas 3 présente une épaisseur suffisante pour permettre de ne pas utiliser de tapis de sol supplémentaire et notamment entre 5 et 10 cm. La partie inférieure 2 comportant le matelas 3 est autoporteuse, ce qui signifie dans la présente demande que la stabilité de la partie inférieure 2 est assurée par la seule rigidité de sa forme et ne possède pas de support ni d'appui. Cette caractéristique permet ainsi de pouvoir, comme représenté à la figure 2, positionner la tente 1 en suspension (ou éventuellement uniquement cette partie supérieure 2 en suspension). The lower part 2 comprises an inflatable mattress 3, in particular made of double-walled textile coated in PVC. This mattress 3 has a sufficient thickness to make it possible not to use an additional ground sheet and in particular between 5 and 10 cm. The lower part 2 comprising the mattress 3 is self-supporting, which in the present application means that the stability of the lower part 2 is ensured by the sole rigidity of its shape and does not have any support or support. This characteristic thus makes it possible, as shown in FIG. 2, to position the tent 1 in suspension (or possibly only this upper part 2 in suspension).
En se reportant cette fois à la figure 4 représentant le dessous du matelas 3 de la partie inférieure 2 on voit que la partie inférieure avec le matelas 3 comprend des éléments de rigidification 14 avec des pattes de fixation 15 coopérant avec des sangles 16. Ces pattes de fixation 15 sont avantageusement obtenues chacune à partir d’une pièce plate collée ou soudée sur le matelas 3 et présentant une double fente pour le passage et le maintien des sangles 16. Ces pièces plates pourront présenter des géométries diverses et notamment circulaires telles que figurant à la figure 4. Avantageusement les sangles 16 sont cousues sur les pièces plates et reliées entre elles par des boucles. Referring this time to Figure 4 showing the underside of the mattress 3 of the lower part 2 it can be seen that the lower part with the mattress 3 comprises stiffening elements 14 with fixing lugs 15 cooperating with straps 16. These lugs fixing 15 are advantageously each obtained from a flat piece glued or welded to the mattress 3 and having a double slot for the passage and maintenance of the straps 16. These flat pieces may have various geometries and in particular circular such as shown in FIG. 4. Advantageously, the straps 16 are sewn onto the flat pieces and interconnected by loops.
Les sangles 16 seront notamment disposées en carré sous la surface du matelas 3. Cet assemblage, comportant les éléments de rigidification 14 avec les pattes de fixation 15 et les sangles 16, permet d’améliorer la rigidité de la partie inférieure 2 afin de supporter des charges importantes et notamment le poids des occupants de la tente 1 et de leurs effets. La disposition en carré n’est pas limitative et notamment on pourra également prévoir des croisements de sangles avec des dispositions en croix. The straps 16 will in particular be arranged in a square under the surface of the mattress 3. This assembly, comprising the stiffening elements 14 with the fixing lugs 15 and the straps 16, makes it possible to improve the rigidity of the lower part 2 in order to support heavy loads and in particular the weight of the occupants of tent 1 and their effects. The square arrangement is not restrictive and in particular we can also provide crossings of straps with cross arrangements.
Les sangles 16 pourront en outre permettre la mise en suspension de la tente 1 . Il pourra à cet effet s’agir des sangles assurant la rigidification et/ou de sangles supplémentaires. Les sangles 16 de mise en suspension sont liées aux pattes de fixation 15 des éléments de rigidification 14 ou à des pattes de fixation additionnelles permettant de suspendre la partie inférieure 2 entre des objets, notamment des piquets ou des arbres, sur lesquels les sangles de mise en suspension sont assujetties par exemple au moyen de tendeurs. The straps 16 may also allow tent 1 to be suspended. For this purpose, it may be straps providing stiffening and / or additional straps. The suspension straps 16 are linked to the fixing lugs 15 of the stiffening elements 14 or to additional fixing lugs allowing the lower part 2 to be suspended between objects, in particular stakes or trees, on which the setting straps in suspension are secured for example by means of tensioners.
En se reportant cette fois principalement à la figure 3 représentant la partie supérieure 4, on voit que cette dernière comprend deux arceaux latéraux 5 reliés par deux traverses 6. Dans une variante de réalisation on pourra relier les deux arceaux 5 par une unique traverse 6 centrale. Avantageusement comme illustré à la figure 3, les arceaux 5 et traverses 6 de la partie supérieure 4 sont soudés entre eux de manière à constituer une seule chambre de gonflage. De cette manière la partie supérieure 4 forme un ensemble monobloc pouvant être gonflé en une opération à partir d’une unique valve de gonflage. Avantageusement la partie supérieure 4 a une forme générale de pyramide tronquée en son sommet permettant d’offrir un bon espace intérieur et une bonne résistance au vent. De plus les extrémités libres 12 sont légèrement redressées pour pouvoir entrer verticalement dans les fourreaux 1 1 et également pour permettre un espace augmenté en partie basse de la tente 1 . D’autres formes géométriques sont bien entendues envisageables à partir d’une structure gonflable et notamment de type cubique, parallélogramme à 6 faces ou encore de type géodésique. Referring this time mainly to Figure 3 showing the upper part 4, it can be seen that the latter comprises two lateral arches 5 connected by two cross members 6. In an alternative embodiment, the two arches 5 can be connected by a single central cross member 6. . Advantageously as illustrated in FIG. 3, the arches 5 and cross members 6 of the upper part 4 are welded together so as to constitute a single inflation chamber. In this way the upper part 4 forms a one-piece assembly which can be inflated in one operation from a single inflation valve. Advantageously, the upper part 4 has the general shape of a truncated pyramid at its top making it possible to offer good interior space and good resistance to the wind. In addition the free ends 12 are slightly straightened to be able to enter vertically into the sleeves 1 1 and also to allow an increased space in the lower part of the tent 1. Other geometric shapes are of course conceivable from an inflatable structure and in particular of cubic type, 6-sided parallelogram or even of geodesic type.
En se reportant à la figure 1 on voit que la tente 1 est équipée d’une toile de toit 8 posée sur les arceaux 5. Dans la figure 1 cette toile 8 est en cours d’installation et n’est donc pas tendue. On prévoit pour la mise en tension de la toile des systèmes classiques de hauban avantageusement liés au sol ou au matelas ou encore aux arbres environnants. On pourra également réaliser la mise en tension de la toile de toit 8 directement sur les arceaux latéraux 15. Referring to Figure 1 we see that the tent 1 is equipped with a roof cloth 8 placed on the poles 5. In Figure 1 this canvas 8 is being installed and is therefore not stretched. For the tensioning of the canvas, conventional systems of stay cables are provided which are advantageously linked to the ground or to the mattress or to the surrounding trees. The roof canvas 8 can also be tensioned directly on the side arches 15.
Selon un aspect avantageux l’épaisseur de l’arceau 5 est comprise entre 2 et 15 cm pour la réalisation d’un double toit étanche. De la sorte, l’écart entre la toile de toit 8 et la toile intérieure ou moustiquaire 17 est suffisant pour éviter tout contact même en cas de vent ou de pluie. According to an advantageous aspect, the thickness of the arch 5 is between 2 and 15 cm for the realization of a waterproof flysheet. In this way, the gap between the roof fabric 8 and the inner fabric or mosquito net 17 is sufficient to avoid any contact even in the event of wind or rain.
On prévoit, pour le positionnement de la toile de toit intérieure ou moustiquaire 17, une fermeture éclair positionnée à la fois sur la jupe pour un bord et sur la moustiquaire (ou toile de toit intérieure) pour l’autre bord et une liaison entre les arceaux et la moustiquaire à partir d’œillets disposés sur les arceaux 15, avantageusement au niveau de la bande de soudure, coopérant avec des clips ou équivalents au niveau de la moustiquaire. D’autres moyens de positionnement sont bien entendus également envisageables tels que des bandes de fixation fixées autour des arceaux 5 ou encore des attaches de type boucle crochet. For the positioning of the inner roof canvas or mosquito net 17, a zipper positioned both on the skirt for one edge and on the mosquito net (or interior roof canvas) for the other edge and a connection between the arches and the mosquito net from eyelets arranged on the arches 15, advantageously at the level of the welding strip, cooperating with clips or the like at the level of the mosquito net. Other positioning means are of course also conceivable, such as fixing bands fixed around the hoops 5 or even hook loop type fasteners.
La tente telle que décrite plus haut présente des caractéristiques particulièrement intéressantes notamment pour l’utilisateur elle permet un montage démontage aisé, un grand volume intérieur et un grand confort notamment conféré par la partie inférieure autoporteuse et la possibilité de mise en suspension de la tente. Bien entendu, d’autres caractéristiques de l’invention auraient également pu être envisagées sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l’invention définie par les revendications ci-après. The tent as described above has particularly interesting characteristics, in particular for the user, it allows easy assembly and disassembly, a large interior volume and great comfort in particular conferred by the self-supporting lower part and the possibility of suspending the tent. Of course, other characteristics of the invention could also have been considered without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims below.
