Benefits of technology

0004] Among the several objects of the present invention may be noted the provision of a tentincluding storage space capable of being sized to store gear of substantial size such asshoes; the provision of such a tent having a stora

Problems solved by technology

Such pockets have limited utility because they do not allow for convenientaccess to the contents of the pocket from outside the tent.
Additionally, prior art storage pockets typically extend inward from the tent wall so thateach pocket and its contents reduce the living space inside the tent.
These relatively small pockets cannot hold larger gear, such as shoes, andtherefore have limited utility.

Embodiment Construction

[0016] Referring now to the drawings and in particular to Figs. 1 and 2, a tent of the presentinvention is designated in its entirety by the reference numeral 11. The dome-type tentcomprises a flexible fabric shell 13 supported by a conventional collapsible frame 15including two resilient poles 17 bent into an arched configuration when erected. In suchconfiguration, the poles 17 are suitably secured to the shell 13, as by being positioned insleeves 19 attached to the shell. Other means of securing the poles to the shell 13 are alsocontemplated. In the erected configuration, the shell 13 encloses a living space 21 whichcan be entered and exited through a doorway 23 provided in a front wall 25 of the shell. The shell 13 includes a door 27 secured to the shell by a slide fastener at the edge of thedoorway 23. A window 31 may be provided in a side wall 33 of the shell 13 as shown.

[0017] Referring to Figs. 2 and 5, the shell 13 has an opening 35 in its front wall 25 adjacent thedoorway 2...

Description

Background of the Invention[0001] The present invention relates generally to tents, and more particularly to a tent having astorage receptacle therein.[0002] It is known to include a storage receptacle attached to a tent shell for storing campinggear, such as tent stakes and other small items. Storage receptacles in prior art tentstypically comprise a piece of fabric sewn to the tent wall to form a pocket located insidethe tent. Such pockets have limited utility because they do not allow for convenientaccess to the contents of the pocket from outside the tent. Thus, the user must open thetent door and enter the tent in order to place an item in the pocket.[0003] Additionally, prior art storage pockets typically extend inward from the tent wall so thateach pocket and its contents reduce the living space inside the tent. Such pockets aretypically sized relatively small since pockets of larger size significantly reduce the livingspace. These relatively small pockets cannot hold larger ...
