Also, the positive z direction as viewed from the ground on which the tent 2 is installed may be described as the "upward direction".

[0013] Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the inner tent 4. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the tent 2. Fig. 4 is a front view of the tent 2.

[0014] As shown in Fig. 2, the inner tent 4 is configured such that frames 43a, 43b, and 43c support the sheet 42. Frames 43b and 43c are provided so as to intersect. Frame 43a is provided so as to intersect both frames 43b and 43c. The highest part of frame 43a forms the top 4p of the inner tent 4. Sheet 42 is provided so as to be connected to the bottom 41. Mesh-like ventilation parts 421 are provided in sheet 42.

[0015] As shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 4, the fly sheet 3 includes a sheet body 31, and fixing ropes 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d, 32e, 32f, 32g and 32h which serve as fixing parts to an installation surface.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 3, the seat body 31 is provided with eight vertices, namely, fixed vertices 31a, 31b, 31c, 31d, 31e, 31f, 31g, and 31h. Fixed rope 32a is attached to fixed vertex 31a.

[0017] The fixed ropes 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d, 32e, 32f, 32g, and 32h are each formed in a loop shape and are configured so as to be fixed to an installation surface by a peg.

[0018] The seat body 31 has eight edges, namely, curved edges 31ab, 31bc, 31cd, 31de, 31ef, 31fg, 31gh, and 31ha. The curved edge 31ab is an edge connecting the fixed vertices 31a and 31b, and is curved so as to approach the center 3p side of the seat body 31 from the fixed vertices 31a and 31b. The curved edge 31ab is curved inward from the straight line connecting the fixed vertices 31a and 31b. The curved edge 31bc is an edge connecting the fixed vertices 31b and 31c, and is curved so as to approach the center 3p side of the seat body 31 from the fixed vertices 31b and 31c. The curved edge 31bc is curved inward from the straight line connecting the fixed vertices 31b and 31c.

[0019] The curved edge 31cd is an edge connecting the fixed vertices 31c and 31d, and curves from the fixed vertices 31c and 31d toward the center 3p of the seat main body 31. The curved edge 31cd is curved inward from the straight line connecting the fixed vertices 31c and 31d. The curved edge 31de is an edge connecting the fixed vertices 31d and 31e, and curves from the fixed vertices 31d and 31e toward the center 3p of the seat main body 31.

[0020] The curved edge 31ef is an edge connecting the fixed vertices 31e and 31f, and curves from the fixed vertices 31e and 31f toward the center 3p of the seat main body 31. The curved edge 31ef is curved inward from the straight line connecting the fixed vertices 31e and 31f. The curved edge 31fg is an edge connecting the fixed vertices 31f and 31g, and curves from the fixed vertices 31f and 31g toward the center 3p of the seat main body 31. The curved edge 31fg is curved inward from the straight line connecting the fixed vertices 31f and 31g.

[0021] The curved edge 31gh is an edge connecting the fixed vertices 31g and 31h, and curves from the fixed vertices 31g and 31h toward the center 3p of the seat main body 31. The curved edge 31gh is curved inward from the straight line connecting the fixed vertices 31g and 31h. The curved edge 31ha is an edge connecting the fixed vertices 31h and 31a, and curves from the fixed vertices 31h and 31a toward the center 3p of the seat main body 31. The curved edge 31ha is curved inward from the straight line connecting the fixed vertices 31h and 31a.

[0022] 4, when covering the inner tent 4 with the fly sheet 3, the central part 3p of the fly sheet 3 is aligned with the top part 4p of the inner tent 4. The abutment parts 34c1, 34c2 of the fly sheet 3 abut against corresponding parts of the inner tent 4. It is preferable to provide positioning means such as hook-and-loop fasteners on the abutment parts 34c1, 34c2 and the corresponding parts of the inner tent 4.

[0023] Next, the fixing ropes 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d, 32e, 32f, 32g, and 32h are pulled outward relative to the central portion 3p, and the fly sheet 3 is fixed to the installation surface under tension. By fixing in this manner, the inner tent 4 can be covered with the fly sheet 3 without the need for additional fixing ropes.

[0024] [Note] Notes 1 to 4 below can be combined in any way as long as there is no technical contradiction.

[0025] [Appendix 1] A tent 2 including an inner tent 4 and a fly sheet 3 covering the inner tent 4, The fly sheet 3 has a sheet body 31 and a fixing part to an installation surface, A plurality of fixing portions are provided on the edge portion of the sheet body 31, and the edge portion between adjacent fixing portions is curved so as to approach the center portion 3p of the sheet body 31 from the fixing portion. The seat body 31 is provided with contact portions 34c1 and 34c2 that come into contact with the inner tent 4 on the top portion 4p side of the inner tent 4, The fixing portion is fixed to the installation surface away from the inner tent 4 on the installation surface.

[0026] In this embodiment, the fixed parts are configured as fixed vertices 31a, 31b, 31c, 31d, 31e, 31f, 31g, and 31h and fixed ropes 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d, 32e, 32f, 32g, and 32h. Configuring the fixed parts in this manner is merely an example. In this embodiment, the edges are configured as curved edges 31ab, 31bc, 31cd, 31de, 31ef, 31fg, 31gh, and 31ha. Configuring the edges in this manner is merely an example.

[0027] According to Supplementary Note 1, the edge between the adjacent fixing parts is curved so as to approach from the fixing parts toward the central part 3p of the sheet body 31, so that when the fly sheet 3 is installed to cover the inner tent 4, a space is formed between the installation surface and the fly sheet 3 through which air can flow in and out. The fly sheet 3 abuts against the inner tent 4 at the abutment parts 34c1, 34c2, while the fixing parts are fixed to the installation surface at a distance from the inner tent 4 on the installation surface, so that a space is formed between the inner tent 4 and the fly sheet 3 through which air can flow in and out. This space is wider on the side closer to the installation surface from the abutment parts 34c1, 34c2. Therefore, even when the inner tent 4 is covered with the fly sheet 3, air can be smoothly let in and out of the inner tent 4 without leaving the entrance open. In addition, the inner tent 4 and the fly sheet 3 are abutted against each other at the top part 4p and the central part 3p side, and the fixing parts can be fixed to the installation surface under tension, so that the inner tent 4 can be covered with the fly sheet 3 without providing a separate rope for fixing. When viewed from the fixed part side to the central part 3p side, the sheet body 31 of the fly sheet 3 is configured so that its width increases from the fixed part side toward the central part 3p side due to the effect of the curved edges. Therefore, when the inner tent 4 and the fly sheet 3 are abutted and tension is applied as described above, sagging and distortion of the sheet body 31 are reduced, and the fly sheet 3 can be made taut.

[0028] [Appendix 2] The tent described in Appendix 1, wherein the fly sheet 3 is configured so that it can be positioned with respect to the inner tent 4 at the contact portions 34c1, 34c2. As a specific example, the contact portions 34c1, 34c2 and the corresponding portions of the inner tent 4 can be positioned by providing a positioning means such as a hook-and-loop fastener.

[0029] According to supplementary note 2, when covering the inner tent 4 with the fly sheet 3, the two can be positioned relative to each other, so there is no misalignment when fixing the fixing parts to the installation surface, and installation can be easily performed.

[0030] [Appendix 3] The inner tent 4 is provided with a ventilation portion 421 through which air can flow in and out on the installation surface side of the contact portions 34c1 and 34c2.

[0031] [Appendix 4] A fly sheet 3 covering an inner tent 4, The sheet has a sheet body 31 and a fixing portion for fixing to an installation surface. A plurality of fixing portions are provided on the edge of the sheet body 31, The edges between adjacent fixing parts are curved so as to approach the center part 3p of the sheet main body 31 from the fixing parts.

[0032] In this embodiment, the fixed parts are configured as fixed vertices 31a, 31b, 31c, 31d, 31e, 31f, 31g, and 31h and fixed ropes 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d, 32e, 32f, 32g, and 32h. Configuring the fixed parts in this manner is merely an example. In this embodiment, the edges are configured as curved edges 31ab, 31bc, 31cd, 31de, 31ef, 31fg, 31gh, and 31ha. Configuring the edges in this manner is merely an example.

[0033] According to Appendix 4, the edges between adjacent fixing portions are curved so as to approach from the fixing portions toward the central portion 3p of the sheet body 31, so that when the fly sheet 3 is installed to cover the inner tent 4, a space is formed between the installation surface and the fly sheet 3 through which air can flow in and out.

[0034] The present embodiment has been described above with reference to specific examples. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these specific examples. Any design modifications made by a person skilled in the art to these specific examples are also included within the scope of the present disclosure as long as they have the features of the present disclosure. The elements of each of the above-mentioned specific examples and their arrangements, conditions, shapes, etc. are not limited to those exemplified and can be changed as appropriate. The combination of each of the elements of each of the above-mentioned specific examples can be changed as appropriate as long as no technical contradiction occurs. [Explanation of symbols]
