first embodiment
[0131]The description of the hammock assembly is related to the need of high tension pull for certain fabrics or rope hammocks in order to provide a stable, nearly horizontal support for the occupant. FIG. 1 through 7 illustrate the present invention with the exception of FIG. 2 which illustrates a support wheel not shown on the other drawings. Therefore any component # for FIG. 1 through 7 included are identical.
[0132]FIG. 1 perspective view illustrates the combination of both the hammock and the stand together; the hammock is represented by a rectangular piece of fabric 30 which is fastened by a straight spreader bar 32 which is linked to the stand by a hook 29 via a chain and ring 28, a series of ropes 36 which are tied to a left and a right eye hook 34; at the other end the fabric is fastened to a curved spreader bar 42 that includes a left and right eye bolt 44 which carry the load to a series of ropes 46 and a ring 47 which receives its pull by a hook and chain assembly 48 tie...
second embodiment
[0137]FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate the invention similar to the first embodiment with the exception of: a lever 64 replaces the right bolt 18 of FIG. 1 in order to clamp and unclamp the support legs 14 without need for any tool. A carriage bolt 72 goes through a metal plate 66 first, then through a spacer block 68 and the horizontal member 10 with its end thread going through the lever 64 which is threaded through its center as seen on FIG. 9. A wood screw 70 also goes through the plate 66, the spacer 68 and partially into member 10; this screw prevents the plate 66 from swinging away from its alignment with member 10. Similarly a lever 62 is performing the same function at the other end of the horizontal member 10, therefore both support legs 14 and 16 can be rotated in a similar manner as FIG. 6 for the first embodiment. Head bolt 72 should be serrated to prevent its rotation. A hammock 31 illustrates a curved or straight spreader bar 43 which includes a couple of eye bolts 45 holding...
third embodiment
[0141]FIG. 12 illustrates the hammock 30 shown in FIG. 1. This embodiment has a rectangular top material reinforced with a diagonally located pair of wide bands of materials 106 and 108; both materials and fabric are fastened to a spreader bar 102 at one end, the tensioning is provided by a eye bolt 116 and 118 and a series of ropes 112 and 114 tie to a ring 110. At the other end both layers of materials are fastened to a spreader bar 104 which includes a pair of eye bolts 114, a series of ropes 116 are linked to the eye bolts at one end and to a ring 118 at the other end.
[0142]It should be noted that the diagonal bands of fabrics are around 2 percent shorter than the top fabric for the reason that it acts as a flexible lifting at the center of the hammock because of the curve spreader as shown in FIG. 1.
[0143]FIGS. 13A and 13B illustrate how the fabrics of the diagonal bands and top rectangular fabric have a wide hem 175 going around a spreader bar 132. The hammock shows a rectangu...
