Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a novel tent unit which is devised so as to adapt itself to the bosom of nature. More specifically, unlike conventional tents, which have been pursuing only lightweight and compactness, they are extremely multifunctional, comfortable, and have an epoch-making floor with excellent cost, handleability and mobility. Regarding the tent unit.

2. Description of the Related Art As an example of a tent used for outdoor camping,
While stretching the inner tent on the triangular frame,
There is a wedge-shaped tent in which a waterproof fly sheet is arranged outside the inner tent, and the periphery of the fly sheet is fixed by pegs.

When setting up such a tent in a campground, the sewn floor surface (sheet portion) of the inner tent is thin and directly contacts the ground, so that other conditions such as view and access are excellent. However, it cannot be set up in a place where water is collected or undulated in the campsite.

Therefore, the construction site is limited to a flat place as much as possible while avoiding the wetland, and the tent needs to be folded in order to move, so that there is a problem that the movement is troublesome once it is set up.

Further, when the tent is set up in a place other than the usual campground, for example, on concrete, there is a problem that the floor surface inside the tent is high and it is difficult to sleep, especially in the summer. On the other hand, there is also the problem that in winter it is too cold to sleep.

Further, in the conventional tent, it is not possible to use fire or throw away dust in the tent, and it has a limited function of merely sleeping.

In addition, a prefabricated temporary housing is used in a disaster-stricken area due to water damage or an earthquake. However, since this prefabricated housing requires a foundation, it cannot be installed on soft ground. In addition, there is a problem that the living environment is not good because the room temperature rises in the summer.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention allows a tent to be set up regardless of the topographical conditions of a campsite or the like, and can be comfortably used in summer or winter without changing from a normal house. The purpose is to provide a floor-mounted tent unit that can be used.

[0009]

In the floor tent unit of the present invention, a floor frame body horizontally assembled by the first connecting means, a floor surface body arranged in the floor frame body, and a third connecting means. The roof skeleton is arranged on the floor skeleton or the floor skeleton, and the tent sheet stretched on the roof skeleton by the fourth connecting means.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The floor tent unit of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a tent unit with a floor according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a tent body composed of a floor frame A, a floor frame B and a roof frame C, and a tent sheet D. And a jack E for supporting the floor skeleton A at a predetermined height from the site G.

The floor frame structure A includes a plurality of frame members 1.
And the first connecting means 2, and the frame member 1 includes the first
It is disassembled by the connecting means 2. The frame member 1 is not particularly limited in the present invention as long as it is a lightweight and strong member. For example, a square pipe made of an aluminum alloy, a channel or a cylindrical pipe having a U-shaped cross section. And the like can be used as appropriate. Also, two or more of these frame members can be combined. The number of the frame members 1 can be appropriately selected depending on the size of the living space required for the accommodation personnel and the size of one panel described later. The first connecting means 2 is not particularly limited in the present invention as long as the assembly portion of the frame member 1 is not loosened by the impact of wind force or load movement of personnel, and for example, ropes, wires or Bolts and nuts can be appropriately selected. Further, the frame members may be connected or connected by fitting or welding, and in this case, the fitting portion or the welding portion serves as the first connecting means. In the present embodiment, the rope is used in consideration of cost and ease of assembly.

As a method of assembling the floor skeleton A, other than the method of connecting the frame members 1 at the intersections of the frame members 1 as shown in FIGS. It is also possible to adopt the method described above. That is, the method is the same as the method shown in FIGS. 2 to 3 until the other frame members 1 are arranged orthogonally on the frame member 1, but in the method shown in FIG. The holding frame 21 in which the notches 20 having substantially the same shape and size are formed is arranged so that the frame member 1 fits in the notches 20. Then, the holding frame 21 and the lowermost frame member 1
The frame members can be connected to each other by binding and with rope or the like, or by tightening with bolts and nuts.

Since the notches 20 are formed in the pressing frame 21 at predetermined intervals, the frame member 1 can be easily and accurately aligned.

If a notch 22 into which the pipe frame 7 of the roof frame C to be described later is fitted is formed, the notch 22 can be formed by tying the frame members together with a rope.
It is possible to press the pipe frame 7 downward by the edge portion 22a of the above, so that the roof frame structure C can be more firmly fixed to the floor frame structure A.

The tent body according to the present embodiment is supported by the jack E at a predetermined height above the ground of the construction site G. It can be set up even when the terrain is poor, such as when the campsite is muddy by rain, when the campsite has undulations, or when there are slopes or steps. Also, since an air passage under the floor can be secured, it is possible to stay cool and comfortable even in the summer. On the contrary, since the floor surface is not in direct contact with the ground, the body temperature is not lost to the ground even in winter, and the person can spend a relatively warm time. In addition, even in a place where a camp is set up in a place where grass is growing, the tent floor is away from the ground, so the tent does not damage the lawn and flowers, making it an environmentally friendly tent. In addition, it is very healthy because there is little moisture from the ground and almost no insects come.

The floor body B comprises a plurality of panels 3 arranged on the floor skeleton A and a second connecting means 4, and the panel 3 is detachably attached to the floor skeleton A by the second connecting means 4. It is assembled. The panel 3 is not particularly limited in the present invention as long as it is a member that is lightweight and has strength. For example, plywood or a plastic panel can be appropriately used. As the second connecting means 4, similar to the first connecting means 2, a rope,
Wires, wires, bolts and nuts can be used as appropriate, but in the present embodiment, a rope is used as with the first connecting means 2. In the present embodiment, since the rope is used as the second connecting means 4, the openings 5 for attaching the panel 3 to the floor skeleton A are formed at the four corners of the panel 3. Therefore, the panel 3 is wound around the frame member 1 of the floor skeleton A by passing the rope through the opening 5. Further, by forming the opening 5 in the panel 3, for example, the rope can be bundled through the opening 5 of the three panels 3 so that the three panels 3 can be carried together and convenient for handling. Is. Panel 3
Can be arranged side by side on the floor frame structure A without using the second connecting means 4.

When bolts and nuts are used instead of ropes as the first connecting means 1, a counterbore is formed in the opening and the nuts are embedded so that the frame members are formed in advance. The panel can be easily assembled by simply inserting the bolt into the hole and then screwing it into the nut. Also, as shown in FIG.
The circular panel portion 3a may be detachably provided on the one panel 3. By providing such a circular panel 3a, for example, the circular panel 3a can be removed and a seven wheel, an oil lamp, a candle, a gas stove, a stove can be placed, or charcoal or firewood can be surrounded by stones to burn the tent. You can keep warm inside and boil. In addition, especially in the summer, it is possible to obtain the effect that insects do not come out when fire is fired, so that it is not necessary to apply a mosquito coil or spray an insecticide or an insect repellent. When the inside of the tent is hot in the summer, removing the panel 3 or the circular panel 3a and placing a fan underneath to rotate the tent has the effect of a wind fan, so it is very cool and comfortable. Further, it is possible to make a single panel as a whole, not a part of the panel, and attach and detach a dedicated container below the panel 3 to form a simple toilet, or an ashtray or a trash can. In this case, it is possible to make a toilet by digging a hole in the ground without using a container (the hole dug when the tent is dismantled is filled). Even if a fire is burnt in the tent, the tent body according to the present embodiment is supported at a predetermined height from the ground of the construction site G by the jack E, so that the air flow under the floor frame structure A. Is ensured, incomplete combustion can be prevented, and oxygen deficiency in the tent can also be prevented. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, at least one of the plurality of panels 3 is
When the folding legs 6 are provided at the four corners on the back surface of the panel 3, the panel 3 can be used as a dining table, an office table, a work table, etc., except when sleeping. There are various ways to use this panel with foldable legs. For example, by arranging two panels at a distance, setting a perforated panel between them, and placing a stove etc. in the hole makes it easy. It is possible to create a kitchen and dining table.

Further, by attaching a net to the frame member 1 or by hooking the locking portion of a container such as a basket or a basket having a locking portion on the frame member 1, a container having no locking portion is further provided. An underfloor storage can be easily created by installing a bag or a bag below the panel. The underfloor storage is usually covered with a panel, and the panel may be removed and used when putting in or taking out an article.

Further, in the present invention, if a material such as a steel material having a certain weight is used for the floor skeleton and the floor surface, a stable structure can be obtained only by its own weight, which is indispensable for conventional tent construction. The peg can be omitted.

The roof skeleton C comprises a plurality of pipe frames 7 and third connecting means 8, and is assembled to the frame member 1 of the floor skeleton A by the third connecting means 8. As the pipe frame 7, a commonly used pipe material can be used. Further, the number of pipe frames 7 can be selected in accordance with, for example, the case where the shape of the roof is set to a dome shape, a wedge shape, or the like so as to withstand wind power. Similar to the first connecting means 2, a rope, a wire, a bolt or a nut can be appropriately used as the third connecting means 8, but in the present embodiment, the first connecting means 2 and the second connecting means 2 are used. A rope is used similarly to the connecting means 4. In the present embodiment, the roof skeleton C is assembled to the frame member 1 of the floor skeleton A, but the present invention is not limited to this, and is assembled to the panel 3 of the floor skeleton B. You can also

The tent sheet D is not particularly limited in the present invention as long as it is a sheet that can be connected to the frame member 1 or the horizontally arranged pipe frame 7 by the fourth connecting means 9, and is generally used. A tent sheet can be used. For example, the tent sheet D may be a fly sheet that is a waterproof sheet. The material of such a fly sheet is a woven fabric or film using fibers such as nylon and polyester, or those obtained by subjecting these to resin treatment. Alternatively, as the tent sheet D, it is also possible to use an tent sheet made up of an inner tent stretched over the roof frame C and the fly sheet stretched outside the inner tent.
In this case, if the lower end portion of the inner tent is extended so as to hang it from the periphery of the floor skeleton toward the ground in a skirt shape, it is possible to prevent wind, rain, insects, and the like from entering the underfloor.

Further, in the present embodiment, the tent sheet in which the floor portion is omitted is used, but the floor-mounted tent unit of the present invention is not limited to this, and a floor portion is usually included. It is also possible to use a commercially available tent sheet.

In this case, the floor portion of the tent sheet may be laid on the frame member and the panel may be provided thereon.
Alternatively, the floor of the tent sheet may be laid on the panel. The floor portion of this tent sheet can be opened and closed (opened) at least partially with fasteners and hooks in consideration of the case where fire is used in the tent and an underfloor storage is formed as described above. Is preferred.

When the sunlight is strong such as in the summer, the heat absorbing net may be placed on the flight sheet to absorb the solar heat to lower the temperature in the tent.

As the fourth connecting means 9, a rope, a rubber band or the like can be used as appropriate, but in the present embodiment, the first connecting means 2, the second connecting means 4 and the third connecting means 8 are used. A rope is used as in.

As shown in FIG. 3, the jack E has an adjusting screw portion 10 having a forward screw portion 10a at one end and a reverse screw portion 10b at the other end, and a mounting portion at the upper end. 11, a lower grounding portion 12 and a link mechanism 14 including a link 13 connecting these. In this jack E, for example, a bolt (not shown) is inserted into a screw hole (not shown) of the mounting portion 11 through a hole previously formed in the frame member 1, so that the frame member 1 is
However, the frame member 1 may be simply placed on the jack E. The number of the jacks E can be appropriately selected so that the tent body can be stably supported. In this embodiment, eight pieces are installed on the outer periphery of the floor skeleton A and one piece is installed in the central portion, and a total of nine pieces are used. In addition to the jack of the type shown in FIG. 3, it is possible to use a daruma jack or a rod-shaped jack, and it is also possible to use a height-adjustable, for example, a nesting type column.

In the present embodiment, the tent body is supported by the jack E at a predetermined height above the ground of the site G, so that the tent can be set up even in a camp site where the terrain is poor. Further, the floor frame structure A can be kept horizontal by adjusting the height of each jack E. As a method of easily confirming the horizontal state, there is a method of placing a sphere such as a ball on the floor. When the sphere is stationary, the horizontal state in all directions can be confirmed. In addition, when setting up the tent body, there is no need for staking work as in the past, and it is relatively easy to carry by placing the tent body on the roof of the car, on the carrier of the car, or on the dolly. Therefore, it is possible to easily and quickly bring the campsite into the campsite or move the campsite. In the present embodiment, the tent body is supported by the jack E on the ground of the construction site G at a predetermined height, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, on the back surface of the tent. One side of the floor skeleton can be placed on a part of the sloping sloping portion, and jacks can be arranged on the remaining three sides and the central portion to support the floor skeleton at a predetermined height. Alternatively, all the jacks may be omitted, and stones, woods, or the like may be appropriately placed under the floor frame structure to support the floor frame structure at a predetermined height.

In the above description, the floor-mounted tent unit is installed on the ground. However, since the floor-mounted tent unit of the present invention includes a sturdy structure called the floor frame, this floor frame is used as a tree structure. It can also be erected in the air by suspending with ropes or chains using, for example. It can also be installed on boats, inflatable boats, canoes, buoys, floats, rafts, etc., and can also be installed on the roof of a car, the bed of a car, the top of a bogie, etc. Therefore, it can be set up in flooded areas and marshes, as well as at sea, on lakes, on rivers, and in Nakashu, and has a very wide range of use.

Further, the floor-mounted tent unit of the present invention is
The present invention can be applied not only to a house-shaped tent having a sharp roof as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, but also to other tents such as a dome shape.

In the above description, a relatively small tent for people to live in, such as a camp or a temporary housing, is taken as an example, but it is of course possible to enlarge the tent and use it temporarily even in rainy weather. It can be a stage, temporary meeting place, temporary exhibition hall, temporary work place, etc.
