Freestanding, self-supporting device for protection against weather influences, especially rain and sun rays, without ground anchoring.

Abstract

Freestanding, self-supporting device for protection against the elements, especially for use with a roof tent mounted on a vehicle, characterized by that the device has a load-bearing frame system, - which requires no ground anchoring or guy wires at all, - consisting of at least two telescopic support elements, - wherein the support elements are attached horizontally or diagonally to a support structure of the vehicle or directly to the base plate of the roof tent, and -where a textile covering is stretched over the frame system and connected to the roof tent via a zipper connection or an equivalent textile coupling.

Description

Technical field:

[0001] The invention relates to the field of mobile outdoor protection systems, in particular devices for protection against weather conditions such as rain, sun, and wind. The device is specifically intended for use in conjunction with roof tents on vehicles. State of the art:

[0002] Conventional protective devices such as awnings or canopies for roof tents usually require guy lines, supports, or anchoring in the ground to ensure stability. This makes them difficult to use on hard, uneven, or rocky terrain and significantly restricts the user's mobility and flexibility. Purpose of the invention:

[0003] The object of the invention is to provide a freestanding, self-supporting device for protection against sun, rain, and other weather conditions that requires no additional ground anchoring. The device should exhibit high stability and weather resistance, as well as be quick and easy to assemble and disassemble. Solution to the problem:

[0004] The problem is solved by a freestanding, self-supporting structure that can be attached directly to a roof tent or the vehicle's roof rack. The device consists of a load-bearing frame system designed and arranged to independently absorb the loads that occur (e.g., wind loads) without requiring guying or anchoring to the ground.

[0005] The system features an integrated stabilization concept, achieved through elements such as telescopic struts, locking mechanisms, and weight-distributing pivot points. The design allows for quick assembly and disassembly and is intended for mobile use. Advantages of the invention: • No drilling, hammering or bracing required • Full mobility and flexibility in location choice • Ideal for hard, rocky or asphalt surfaces • Time savings through simple and quick assembly • Secure footing even in moderate wind conditions Scope:

[0006] The invention is particularly suitable for camping, overlanding and mobile outdoor activities where uncomplicated, freestanding and stable protection from the elements, especially rain and sun exposure, is required.

Claims

[1] Freestanding, self-supporting device for protection against the elements, especially for use with a roof tent mounted on a vehicle, characterized by , that the device has a load-bearing frame system, - which requires no ground anchoring or guy wires at all, - consisting of at least two telescopic support elements, - wherein the support elements are attached horizontally or diagonally to a support structure of the vehicle or directly to the base plate of the roof tent, and -where a textile covering is stretched over the frame system and connected to the roof tent via a zipper connection or an equivalent textile coupling. [2] Device according to claim 1, characterized by that the telescopic support elements are made of a lightweight, rigid material, especially carbon or aluminum. [3] Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the frame system has locking mechanisms and / or articulated connecting elements, which, when unfolded, provide a form-fitting stabilization of the entire system. [4] Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the textile covering consists of a tear-resistant, UV-resistant and water-repellent material. [5] Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the entire system can be assembled without tools and can be set up and taken down within a few minutes. [6] Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the connection to the roof tent is made via a zipper attachment already present on the tent, in particular at a connection provided for this purpose. [7] Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized bythat the stability of the construction is ensured by the interplay of textile tension, telescopic locking mechanism and attachment points on the roof tent frame, without the need for additional bracing or ground supports.
