Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a simple tent engaging and fastening device that utilizes an engaging member of a back door or the like of a vehicle to attach a simple tent to that location. [Background technology]
[0002] Traditionally, it has been common to hold barbecues and other events in the gardens of homes, and it has become common for people to set up large parasols or simple, makeshift tents to provide shade from the scorching heat.
[0003] Moreover, in recent years, the number of people enjoying outdoor leisure activities has increased, with more people driving to the sea, mountains, campsites, etc., and setting up tents on the spot has become a common behavior.
[0004] In addition, the spread of simple tents that can be easily set up, in addition to full-fledged prefabricated tents, has made outdoor leisure activities even more accessible.
[0005] In this current situation, if a tent can be set up using a car, it is possible to utilize the space inside the car, and since there is generally enough space to park the car, there is no need to secure a separate space to set up a tent, and various ideas have been devised.
[0006] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a "Car Rear Door Tent Changing Curtain," which, according to this technology, encloses the back door with a car rear door cover, with a tent formed at the top and a changing curtain formed at the bottom. When in use, the tent can be placed over the back door, the left and right size adjustment strings tied, the tent removed, the mounting rings fitted onto the tent poles, the tent set up on the ground, and secured in place with ropes.
[0007] Also, for example, Patent Document 2 discloses a "tent support fixing device for automobile doors," and according to this technology, there is a fixing device that uses the locking function of a vehicle's back door or trunk door to fix a support member that supports a tent, and the fixing device includes the support member extending horizontally from the door and a U-shaped portion having a shape similar to that of a U-shaped metal fitting, which is a latch lock inducing portion of the vehicle body that is integrally formed with the support member, and the support member is fixed in the horizontally extended state by the locking function of the locking mechanism, and the latch lock inducing portion has the same shape as the lock and is pushed into a slit and sandwiched by the locking metal fitting, and the swing lock is brought into contact with the vehicle back door or trunk door, thereby fixing the tent support fixing device for automobile doors horizontally.

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 09-235913 [Patent Document 2] JP 2017-201110 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0009] Indeed, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 is advantageous in that preparation for installation can be completed by the simple task of placing the automobile rear door cover over the back door.
[0010] However, since the size and shape of the back door differs depending on the size and shape of the vehicle, in order to install it securely, it is very cumbersome to place the car rear door cover over the back door, then precisely and tightly tie the size adjustment strings on the left and right sides, and then remove the tent.
[0011] Furthermore, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 2 is advantageous in that it allows reliable engagement to be easily achieved using the locking function of the vehicle door.
[0012] However, while a swing lock, which regulates the principle of leverage with the locking hardware as the fulcrum, can prevent forward and backward movement, it cannot prevent left and right movement. Furthermore, the locking function alone cannot adequately secure the device, and there is also the problem that rainwater can seep in through the gap between the vehicle and the tent.
[0013] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has as its object to provide a simple tent engaging and fixing device that can easily and securely attach a simple tent to an object such as a vehicle, and also prevents rainwater from entering through the attachment point. [Means for solving the problem]
[0014] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following:
[0015] The invention of claim 1 provides a simple tent engaging and fixing device for attaching a simple tent to one engaging portion formed on an object and having a second engaging portion that can be attached and detached, the other engaging portion and a long buffer portion made of an elastic material are formed on the front side of a long main body base extending horizontally, and the simple tent is formed on the rear side of the main body base, and the buffer portion is configured to abut against the surface of the object when attached to the object by engaging with it.
[0016] The invention according to claim 2 aims to provide the simple tent engaging and fastening device according to claim 1, characterized in that the buffer portion is formed so as to incline downwards towards the left and right ends of the main body base.
[0017] The invention of claim 3 aims to provide a simple tent engaging and fixing device as described in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that a pressing mechanism is formed in which the buffer part forcibly presses the surface of the object after it is attached by engaging with the object.
[0018] The invention of claim 4 aims to provide the simple tent engaging and fixing device as described in claim 3, characterized in that the pressing mechanism is configured to form an engaging and retreating part that allows the other engaging part to move forward and backward freely and to be fixed on the retreating side, so that the buffer part presses the surface of the object.
[0019] The invention of claim 5 aims to provide the simple tent engaging and fixing device described in claim 3, characterized in that the pressing mechanism is configured to form a cushioning extension portion that advances the cushioning portion forward, thereby causing the cushioning portion to press against the surface of the object. Effect of the Invention
[0020] According to the invention described in claim 1, a simple tent is attached to one engagement part formed on the object to be covered, and the other engagement part and a long buffer part made of an elastic material are formed on the front side of a long main body base extending horizontally, and the simple tent is formed on the rear side of the main body base. The buffer part is configured to abut against the surface of the object when attached to the object by engaging with it. Therefore, the simple tent can be easily attached to the object by simply engaging the other engagement part with the one engagement part, and rainwater can be prevented from entering through the attachment point.
[0021] According to the invention described in claim 2, the buffer section is formed so as to slope downward toward the left and right ends of the base of the main body, thereby preventing rainwater from accumulating in the upper part of the buffer section and enabling the rainwater to be guided and drained to both ends of the buffer section.
[0022] According to the invention described in claim 3, a pressing mechanism is formed in which the buffer part forcibly presses against the surface of the object after the protective cover is attached by engaging with the object. This enables the buffer part to be strongly pressed against the surface of the object, thereby further preventing rainwater from entering through the attachment point.
[0023] According to the invention described in claim 4, the pressing mechanism is configured so that the buffer part presses the surface of the object by forming an engaging advance / retract part that allows the other engaging part to move back and forth freely and to be fixed on the retreating side, thereby making it easy to attach one engaging part to the other engaging part, and since the buffer part can be strongly pressed against the surface of the object, it is further possible to prevent rainwater from entering through the attachment point.
[0024] According to the invention described in claim 5, the pressing mechanism is configured so that the cushioning part presses the surface of the object by forming a cushioning extension part that advances the cushioning part forward, thereby allowing the cushioning part to strongly press against the surface of the object while adjusting the pressing force of the cushioning part, thereby further preventing rainwater from entering through the attachment point.

[0026] The gist of the simple tent engaging and fixing device according to the present invention is that it is for mounting a simple tent having one engaging part formed on an object and another engaging part that is detachable, and is characterized in that the other engaging part and a long buffer part made of an elastic material are formed on the front side of a long main body base extending horizontally, and the simple tent is formed on the rear side of the main body base, and the buffer part is configured to abut against the surface of the object when attached by engaging with the object. In other words, it is an object of the present invention to provide a simple tent engaging and fixing device that can easily and securely attach a simple tent to an object such as a vehicle, and that can prevent rainwater from entering through the attachment point.
[0027] The simple tent engaging and fastening device 1 according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, in this description, the same reference numerals will be used in principle for structures and parts that are identical or symmetrical on the left and right, and only one of the left and right sides will be described, with the other side being omitted as appropriate.
[0028] In addition, in this description, one of the engaging parts A is a receiving locker, and the other engaging part 11 is described for convenience as a U-shaped striker, but these two engaging parts A, 11 are not limited to one or the other, and even if they are configured in the opposite manner, it is within the scope of the present invention.
[0029] Furthermore, in this description, one engaging portion A and the other engaging portion 11 are described as a locker and a striker that are generally used in automobiles, etc., but these are not limited to this embodiment, and the type of engaging portion is not important as long as they engage with each other.
[0030] In this description, the back door of automobile C is described as object B, but object B is not limited to this. For example, if one of the engagement parts A is formed on the wall surface of a building, the building (wall) becomes object B.
[0031] Further, in this description, the temporary tent 19 is described as a simple roll screen type that forms the awning 20, but the shape and structure of the temporary tent 19 are not limited to this.
[0032] In addition, the front and rear of the simple tent engaging and fixing device 1 in this embodiment will be described as the front side, which is the side on which the other engaging portion 11 and the buffer portion 14 are formed relative to the main body base 2, and the rear side, which is the side on which the simple tent 19 is formed.
[0033] [Basic configuration] The basic configuration of the simple tent engaging fastener 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is, as shown in Figures 1(a) and (b), to attach a simple tent 19 having a detachable other engaging part 11 to one engaging part A formed on the object B, and the other engaging part 11 and a long buffer part 14 made of an elastic material are formed on the front side of the long main body base 2 extending horizontally, and the simple tent 19 is formed on the rear side of the main body base 2, and the buffer part 14 is configured to abut against the surface of the object B when attached by engaging with the object B.
[0034] That is, as shown in FIG. 1(a), the simple tent engagement fixture 1, with its longitudinal direction being approximately horizontal, is engaged with one engagement portion A formed on the back door B (target object) of an open vehicle C by engaging the other engagement portion 11 toward the other engagement portion A formed on the back door B (target object), so that the buffer portion 14 is attached while abutting against the side of the back door B, and as shown in FIG. 1(b), the simple tent 19, which constitutes a sunshade, can be installed by pulling rearward the curtain 20 of the simple tent 19 made of a roller screen and screwing a male screw 22 formed on a corner 21 of the curtain 20 into a female screw 24 formed on the upper part of a retractable support 23.
[0035] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2(a), the other engagement part 11 is formed in the center of the front face of the long, T-shaped main body base 2 consisting of a vertical piece 3 and a horizontal piece 8, with the open ends of a U-shaped striker connected above and below, and a rectangular block-shaped buffer part 14 made of an elastic material such as urethane and having a length approximately equal to the length of the main body base 2 is attached to the vertical piece 3 with double-sided tape or the like, and a simple tent 19 with a width approximately equal to the length of the main body base 2 is disposed on the upper part of the rear side of the main body base 2 consisting of the vertical piece 3 and the horizontal piece 8, as shown in FIG. 2(b).
[0036] The shape of the main body base 2 is not limited to that of this embodiment, and the shape of the main body base 2 is not important as long as the buffer section 14 and the simple tent 19 can be integrally arranged thereon.
[0037] As shown in Figures 3(a) and (d), the buffer portion 14 is cut out in a specified area on the lower side, leaving only the upper part near the center which interferes with the other engaging portion 11; however, the cutout area can be formed arbitrarily as long as it does not interfere with the other engaging portion 11, and from the viewpoint of preventing rainwater from entering, it is desirable that the left and right sides of the buffer portion 14 are connected to the extent that they are not separated.
[0038] As shown in Figures 3(b), (c), and (e), the temporary tent 19 is configured so that a curtain 20 (screen) is pulled out horizontally from below, and is placed horizontally on the top of the horizontal piece 8 on the rear side of the main body base 2 and fixed in that position by fixing devices not shown.
[0039] In addition, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the buffer portion 14 may be formed in an approximately V-shape so as to slope downward toward the left and right ends of the main body base 2 in order to prevent rainwater from accumulating. Also, as shown in FIGS. 5(a) and (b), a plurality of hemispherical anti-slip portions 15 made of an elastic material such as rubber or silicone may be formed on the surface of the buffer portion 14 in order to improve the contact and fixing force with the tailgate B.
[0040] The shape, arrangement, etc. of the anti-slip portion 15 are not limited to those in this embodiment.
[0041] Also, as shown in Figures 6(a) and (b), in order to strengthen the fixation of the simple tent engagement fixing device 1 while taking into consideration the prevention of damage to the abutment surface of the back door B due to the adhesion of iron sand, a sheet-like magnet 16 may be formed on the inner surface (or outer surface) of the buffer section 14, and a thin sheet-like metal 17 having a magnetic material such as iron and formed with an area slightly larger than that of the magnet 16 may be disposed on the outer surface.
[0042] When using the simple tent engagement fixing device 1, it is possible to prevent damage to the contact surface of the back door B by removing the sheet metal 17 and removing any attached matter such as iron sand before connecting it to the magnet 16.
[0043] Next, modified examples of the simple tent engaging and fastening device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0044] A modified example of the simple tent engaging and fastening device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention improves the adhesion between the buffer part 14 and the object B by engaging the simple tent engaging and fastening device 1 having the basic configuration described above with the object B and forming a pressing mechanism 26 in which the buffer part 14 forcibly presses the surface of the object B after the device is attached.
[0045] This modified example has two configurations, one in which the other engaging portion 11 is movable back and forth, and the other in which the buffer portion 14 is movable back and forth. First, the former will be described in detail.
[0046] The pressing mechanism 26 of variant 1 constituting the simple tent engaging and fixing device described below is configured so that the buffer part 14 presses the surface of the object B by forming an engaging and retracting part 27 (27a, 27b) which allows the other engaging part 11 to move back and forth freely and to be fixed freely on the retracting side, and there are two further types (simple tent engaging and fixing devices 1a, 1b).
[0047] [Modification 1 (simple tent engagement fixture 1a)] The appearance of the pressing mechanism 26 relating to variant example 1 constituting the simple tent engaging and fixing device 1a is shown in FIG. 7. After the other engaging portion 11 protruding forward as shown in FIG. 8(a) engages with one engaging portion A (not shown), the other engaging portion 11 is retracted as shown in FIG. 8(b) to urge the buffer portion 14 against the object B, and the other engaging portion 11 can be freely fixed on the retracted side by the engaging advancing and retreating portion 27a.
[0048] Specifically, as shown in Figures 7, 9(a) and (b), the other engagement portion 11 is connected to a rectangular plate-shaped engagement base 32, and the engagement base 32 is loosely fitted into the engagement base 32 so that the forward / backward movable shaft 34 extending rearward therefrom can freely rotate.
[0049] A disk-shaped pivot portion 35 is formed at the tip of the advance / retract movable shaft 34, and a rotation groove 33 consisting of a stepped recess slightly larger than the outer shape of the advance / retract movable shaft 34 and the pivot portion 35 is formed in the engagement base 32 so that the pivot portion 35 can rotate without coming off the engagement base 32 and without load.
[0050] In addition, first and second anti-slip portions 28, 29 which form part of the engaging advance / retract portion 27a and which are smaller in diameter and shorter than the advance / retract shaft 34 are formed in the middle of the advance / retract movable shaft 34, and the two anti-slip portions 28, 29 are inserted and fixed in parallel close to each other so as to extend beyond the advance / retract movable shaft 34 and intersect at right angles. A roughly annular handle 36a is connected to the rear end of the advance / retract movable shaft 34.
[0051] In the gap between the first retaining portion 28 and the vertical piece 3 of the main body base 2, a compression spring 30a and washers 31, 31 larger in diameter than the compression spring 30a are disposed on both sides, and a forward / backward movable shaft 34 is inserted through the compression spring 30a.
[0052] In addition, an axial hole 4 having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the washer 31 is drilled in the vertical piece 3 of the main body base 2, and the movable shaft 34 can be freely inserted therethrough. Also, a regulating piece 37 having a rectangular plate shape extending vertically downward from the rear end of the horizontal piece 8 is vertically attached and forms part of the engaging advance / retreat portion 27a.
[0053] A rectangular restriction window 38 is formed in the center of the restriction piece 37 and is longer and narrower than the first and second retaining portions 28, 29 with the longitudinal direction extending up and down.
[0054] In the pressing mechanism 26 according to the first modification constituting the simple tent engaging and fixing device 1a thus constructed, the second retaining portion 29 extending horizontally as shown in FIG. 8(c) comes into contact with the restricting piece 37 on the inside by the restricting window 38 by the first and second retaining portions 28, 29 constituting the engaging and retracting portion 27a, as shown in FIG. 8(a) and FIG. 9(a), and then the other engaging portion 11 protruding forward is engaged with one engaging portion A (not shown), as shown in FIG. 8(d), and then the handle 36a is rotated approximately 90° so that the first and second retaining portions 28, 29 pass through the restricting window 38, as shown in FIG. 8(d), and while retracting rearward, the handle 36a is rotated approximately 90° again, as shown in FIG. 8(e), so that the first retaining portion 28 comes into contact with the restricting piece 37 on the outside by the restricting window 38, as shown in FIG. 8(b) and FIG. 9(b).
[0055] In addition, the compression spring 30a biases the other engagement portion 11 rearward and not only strengthens the engagement with the one engagement portion A but also functions to prevent the first and second anti-slip portions 28, 29 from easily passing through the regulating window 38.
[0056] As shown in Figures 7, 9(c), etc., a disk-shaped stopper 66 is formed at the rear end of each of the left and right sides of the engagement base 32, and a guide shaft 65 extending rearward is provided to protrude from the rear end. The guide shaft 65 is freely inserted into the vertical piece 3 of the main body base 2, so that the other engagement part 11 itself does not swing or rotate.
[0057] [Modification 1 (simple tent engagement fixture 1b)] The pressing mechanism 26 of variant 1 constituting the simple tent engaging and fastening device 1b is configured to use a ratchet mechanism as the engaging and retracting portion 27b, and as shown in Figures 10(a), (b) and 11(a) and (b), by rotating the handle 41 up and down, the other engaging portion 11 is moved rearward by the belt 42 engaged with the other engaging portion 11.
[0058] That is, after the other engaging portion 11 protruding forward as shown in FIG. 10(a) is engaged with one engaging portion A not shown, the other engaging portion 11 is retracted as shown in FIG. 10(b) to bias the buffer portion 14 against the object B, and the other engaging portion 11 can be freely fixed on the retracted side by the engaging advance / retract portion 27b.
[0059] Specifically, a rectangular, annular belt engagement portion 12 that is open at the top and bottom is formed at the rear end of the other engagement portion 11, and a belt insertion portion 5 is formed in the vertical piece 3 of the main body base 2 to allow the belt 42 to be freely inserted horizontally.
[0060] In addition, a ratchet fixing BOX 40 incorporating a ratchet mechanism is vertically attached to the horizontal piece 8 of the main body base 2, and a belt fixing shaft 43 is formed in the ratchet fixing BOX 40, which is inserted horizontally into the relevant portion of a belt 42 having one end sewn into a ring shape.
[0061] In addition, the ratchet fixing box 40 has a pawl arranged on the periphery of a gear with an inclined end (not shown) connected to the handle 41, which engages with the gear in only one direction, and the pawl is connected to a reel holding the other end of the belt, so that by rotating the handle 41 up and down, the belt 42 is wound up by the reel while the other engagement part 11 is moved backward.
[0062] In addition, since the claw is normally biased toward the gear by a spring or the like, the belt 42 wound around the reel can be easily pulled out by pressing a reset button (not shown) that releases this biasing force.
[0063] The pressing mechanism 26 of variant 1 constituting the simple tent engaging and fixing device 1b constructed in this manner makes it possible, by the ratchet mechanism constituting the engaging advancement / retraction portion 27b, to freely fix the other engaging portion 11 on the rearward side even if the other engaging portion 11 located in the front as shown in Figures 10(a) and 11(a) is retracted rearward as shown in Figures 10(b) and 11(b) by rotating the handle 41 up and down.
[0064] The two compression springs 30b shown in Figures 11(a) and (b) bias the other engagement portion 11 forward in the normal state, and the guide shaft 65 shown in Figures 10(a) and (b) has the same function as variant example 1 constituting the simple tent engagement fixing device 1a described above, and is connected to the belt engagement portion 12. The guide shaft 65 is also drilled into the vertical piece 3 of the main body base 2 so that it can be freely inserted, thereby preventing the other engagement portion 11 itself from swinging or rotating.
[0065] Next, a second modification including a pressing mechanism 26 for advancing the buffer portion 14 forward will be described in detail.
[0066] The pressing mechanism 26 of the modified example 2 constituting the simple tent engagement fixing device described below is configured to form a cushioning extension portion 45 (45a, 45b, 45c) that advances the cushioning portion 14 forward, thereby causing the cushioning portion 14 to press against the surface of the object B, and there are three further types (simple tent engagement fixing devices 1c, 1d, 1e).
[0067] [Modification 2 (simple tent engagement fixture 1c)] The pressing mechanism 26 of variant 2 constituting the simple tent engagement fixing device 1c is configured so that the buffer section 14 can be moved back and forth by operating the pressing bolt 46 forward and backward as the buffer extension section 45a, as shown in Figures 12(a), (b) and (c).
[0068] Specifically, female threads 6 are formed penetrating the back surface of the vertical piece 3 of the main body base 2 at two locations, and a pressing bolt 46 consisting of a male thread that screws into the female threads 6 is screwed in.
[0069] The other engaging portion 11 and buffer portion 14 are connected to a rectangular base plate 48, and the rear surface of the base plate 48 has pressing protrusions 49, 49 which can be freely inserted into the two female screws 6, 6 extending from the front surface of the vertical piece 3.
[0070] In order to prevent the base plate 48 on which the other engaging portion 11 and the buffer portion 14 are formed from dropping off from the main body base portion 2, a configuration (not shown) such as the above-mentioned guide shaft 65 is provided.
[0071] By configuring it in this manner, after the other engagement portion 11 is engaged with one of the engagement portions A, the buffer portion 14 can be firmly attached to the object B by screwing in the two pressing bolts 46.
[0072] In addition, in this modified example 2 constituting the simple tent engagement fixing device 1c, the other engagement portion 11 and the buffer portion 14 are connected to the base plate 48, but it is more preferable to connect the other engagement portion 11 to the vertical piece 3 of the main body base 2 and connect only the buffer portion 14 to the base plate 48, which is advantageous for firmly adhering the buffer portion 14 to the object B.
[0073] The number of pressing bolts 46 formed on the cushioning payout portion 45a is not limited to two, and may be any number as long as the cushioning portion 14 can be firmly attached to the object B.
[0074] [Modification 2 (simple tent engagement fixture 1d)] As shown in Figures 13(a) and (b) , the pressing mechanism 26 of the modified example 2 constituting the simple tent engaging and fixing device 1d is configured so that the buffer section 14 can be moved back and forth by moving the operating section 51 forward and backward as a buffer payout section 45b via a link mechanism.
[0075] Specifically, it is composed of an operating section 51 having the other engagement section 11 connected to its tip below the horizontal piece 8 and a ring-shaped handle 36b formed at its rear end, two stays 52, 52 having one end pivotally connected to the front left and right of the operating section 51 so as to be freely rotatable, two fulcrum shafts 9 hanging down from the horizontal piece 8 of the main body base 2, and a rectangular link base plate 53 having a buffer section 14 connected to its front side and two stay support sections 54, 54 formed at its rear side into which the other end of the stay 52 is loosely fitted so as to be freely rotatable and moveable left and right.
[0076] By configuring it in this manner, after the other engagement portion 11 is engaged with one of the engagement portions A, the operating portion 51 is moved rearward, whereby the two stays 52, 52 abutting the two fulcrum shafts 9 tilt while the link base plate 53 moves forward, making it possible to firmly adhere the buffer portion 14 to the object B.
[0077] In order to prevent the link base plate 53 on which the buffer portion 14 is formed from dropping off from the main body base portion 2, a configuration (not shown) such as the above-mentioned guide shaft 65 is provided.
[0078] The operation unit 51 is also disposed on the main body base 2 so as to be slidable back and forth, with a configuration not shown.
[0079] Further, the operating portion 51 is connected via the main body base 2 by a spring or the like (not shown) so as to bias the other engaging portion 11 rearward in a normal state.
[0080] [Modification 2 (simple tent engagement fixture 1e)] As shown in Figs. 14(a) and 14(b), a pressing mechanism 26 according to a second modified example constituting a simple tent engaging and fixing device 1e is configured so that the cushioning portion 14 can be moved back and forth by an airbag mechanism as a cushioning payout portion 45c.
[0081] Specifically, an air bag 56 is disposed in the gap between the front surface of the main body base 2 and the buffer section 14, and is connected to a hand pump 58 disposed on the back surface of the vertical piece 3 by an air pipe 57 which communicates with the air bag 56.
[0082] The hand pump 58 is provided with an air vent plug (not shown).
[0083] By configuring it in this manner, after engaging the other engaging portion 11 with one engaging portion A, by pressing the hand pump 58 several times, the two airbags 56, 56 will inflate and move forward, thereby firmly adhering the buffer portion 14 to the object B.
[0084] As explained above, the simple tent engaging fasteners 1, 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e of this embodiment are used to attach a simple tent 19 having a detachable other engaging portion 11 to one engaging portion A formed on the object B, and the other engaging portion 11 and a long buffer portion 14 made of an elastic material are formed on the front side of the long main body base 2 extending horizontally, and the simple tent 19 is formed on the rear side of the main body base 2. The buffer portion 14 is configured to abut against the surface of the object B when attached to the object B by engaging it with it. As a result, the simple tent 19 can be easily attached to the object B by simply engaging the other engaging portion 11 with the one engaging portion A, and rainwater can be prevented from entering from the attachment point.
[0085] In addition, the buffer section 14 is formed so as to slope downward toward the left and right ends of the main body base 2, thereby preventing rainwater from accumulating at the top of the buffer section 14 and allowing the rainwater to be guided and drained to both ends of the buffer section 14.
[0086] Furthermore, the simple tent engagement fasteners 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, and 1e of this embodiment are formed with a pressing mechanism 26 in which the buffer portion 14 forcibly presses the surface of the object B after being attached to the object B by engaging with it, thereby enabling the buffer portion 14 to be strongly urged against the surface of the object B, thereby further preventing rainwater from entering through the attachment point.
[0087] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism 26 of the simple tent engaging and fastening devices 1a, 1b in this embodiment is configured so that the buffer part 14 presses the surface of the object B by forming an engaging advancement and retreat part 27 which enables the other engaging part 11 to move forward and backward freely and to be fixed freely on the retreating side, thereby making it easy to attach the other engaging part 11 to one engaging part A, and since the buffer part 14 can be strongly pressed against the surface of the object B, it is possible to further prevent rainwater from entering through the attachment point.
[0088] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism 26 of the simple tent engaging fasteners 1c, 1d, 1e in this embodiment is configured to form a buffer extension portion 45 that advances the buffer portion 14 forward so that the buffer portion 14 presses against the surface of the object B. This allows the pressing force of the buffer portion 14 to be strongly applied to the surface of the object B while being adjusted, thereby further preventing rainwater from entering through the attachment point.
[0089] Although the preferred embodiments of the simple tent engaging and fastening devices 1, 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, and 1e according to the present embodiment of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, and various modifications and variations are possible.
