DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0010] Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In order to facilitate understanding of the description, the same components in each drawing are denoted by the same reference numerals as much as possible, and duplicated description will be omitted.
[0011] A tent 2 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. The tent 2 includes a sheet 20 and frames 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25. The frames 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 are disposed on the outer side of the sheet 20 so as to support the sheet 20.
[0012] The tent 2 is used with the bottom B fixed to a mounting surface. In the top T, the sheet 20 is provided with an exhaust section 26. The exhaust section 26 is a portion through which a chimney (not clearly shown in FIG. 1) connected to a stove (not clearly shown in FIG. 1) installed inside the tent 2 passes. The exhaust section 26 is provided with an opening 261 for passing the chimney.
[0013] Frame 21 and frame 22 are a pair of frames disposed on either side of exhaust section 26. Frame 21 is connected to frame 23. Frame 23 is disposed so as to extend to bottom B. Frame 22 is connected to frame 24. Frame 24 is disposed so as to extend to bottom B. A pair of frames 25 are disposed so as to connect frame 21 and frame 22.
[0014] With reference to Figure 2, the state in which the fly sheet 3 is placed over the tent 2 will be described. In Figure 2, a stove (not shown in Figure 2) is placed inside the tent 2, and a chimney 4 connected to the stove is also placed. The chimney 4 passes through the opening 261 described with reference to Figure 1. The fly sheet 3 is provided with an outer exhaust section 31 through which the chimney 4 passes. The outer exhaust section 31 is provided with an outer opening 311 through which the chimney 4 passes. The fly sheet 3 is provided so as to cover from the top T to the bottom B of the tent 2 described with reference to Figure 1.
[0015] Next, the inside of the tent 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 3. Frames 27 and 28 are provided inside the tent 2. The frames 27 and 28 are provided closer to the center than the pair of frames 25 provided on the outside of the tent 2. The frames 27 and 28 are arranged apart from each other in a direction intersecting with the frames 21 and 22 provided on the outside of the tent 2, for example in a direction perpendicular to the frames. The frames 27 and 28 are held by passing both ends of each frame through holes provided in a flat string hanging down from the sheet 20. The holes provided in the flat string are configured to provide a frictional force sufficient to prevent the frames 27 and 28 from moving relative to the sheet 20 in the longitudinal direction.
[0016] The exhaust section 26 is held by the frames 21, 22. The frames 27, 28 apply a holding force via the flat string and the sheet 20 so that the frames 21, 22 can be kept at a predetermined distance from each other without approaching each other. An outer exhaust section 31 provided on the fly sheet 3 is provided on the outside of the opening 261. The outer exhaust section 31 is made of a heat buffer material that makes it difficult for heat from the chimney 4 to be transmitted. The outer exhaust section 31 is provided with an outer opening 311. A silicon ring 312 is arranged in the outer opening 311.
[0017] Four circular rings 63 are provided hanging down from the sheet 20 at both ends of the frame 27 and at portions close to both ends of the frame 28. A chimney fixing part 61 is fixed to the chimney 4. One ends of four fixing bands 62 are connected to the chimney fixing part 61. The other ends of the fixing bands 62 are passed through the circular rings 63 and supported. The fixing bands 62 that pass through the circular rings 63 are configured so as to be adjustable to any length.
[0018] Sheet holding parts 64 connected to the sheet 20 are provided at both ends of the frame 27 and at portions close to both ends of the frame 28. The sheet holding parts 64 connect the sheet 20 to the outside of the outer exhaust part 31 provided in the fly sheet 3.
[0019] Next, the procedure for placing a stove in tent 2 will be described with reference to Figure 4. As shown in Figure 4(A), a chimney fixing part 61 is fixed to chimney 4. Four fixing bands 62 are attached to chimney fixing part 61 fixed to chimney 4. The four fixing bands 62 attached to chimney fixing part 61 are passed through circular portions 63 provided in four locations. When the four fixing bands 62 are pulled, the chimney 4 rises. A target point CP for placing stove 5 is set below the chimney 4.
[0020] 4(B), the stove 5 is placed using the target point CP as a landmark. The tension on the fixing band 62 is gradually released, and the chimney 4 is lowered and connected to the stove 5.
[0021] An example of the shape of the chimney 4 will be described with reference to FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 5, the chimney 4 includes a small diameter portion 41, a tapered portion 42, and a large diameter portion 43. The small diameter portion 41 has a smaller diameter than the large diameter portion 43 and is provided above the large diameter portion 43. The tapered portion 42 is a portion whose diameter gradually changes so as to connect the small diameter portion 41 and the large diameter portion 43. The tapered portion 42 can be provided to accommodate an outer exhaust portion 31 provided with a silicon ring 312 having an inner diameter D, and can also be provided to an outer exhaust portion 31a provided with a silicon ring 312a having an inner diameter Da smaller than the inner diameter D.
[0022] With reference to Fig. 6, a chimney 4A as another example of the chimney 4 will be described. As shown in Fig. 6, the chimney 4A is formed to have a uniform diameter. A disk portion 45A is attached to the chimney 4A. The disk portion 45A is formed to abut against the silicon ring 312A provided on the outer exhaust portion 31A. By providing the disk portion 45A, the chimney 4A can abut against the silicon ring 312A even if it has a uniform diameter, and the shape of the chimney 4A can be simplified.
[0023] Next, the state in which the fly sheet 7 is placed over the tent 2 will be described with reference to Fig. 7. As shown in Fig. 7, the fly sheet 7 is placed over the top T (see Fig. 1) of the tent 2. The fly sheet 7 is attached to the frame of the tent 2. The portion where the fly sheet 7 is attached to the frame 23 is referred to as a first restraining portion 8. The portion where the fly sheet 7 is attached to the frame 24 is referred to as a second restraining portion 9.
[0024] With reference to Fig. 8, part VIII of Fig. 7 will be described. As shown in Fig. 8, the outer support part 701 of the fly sheet 7 is pulled up to form a gutter part 71. The outer support part 701 and the central support part 702 are connected by a pull-up string 72. One end of the pull-up string 72 is fixed to the central support part 702, and the other end is passed through a hole provided in the outer support part 701. A stopper 74 is provided on the other end side of the pull-up string 72. A support member 73 is attached to the outer support part 701.
[0025] The gutter portion 71 will be described with reference to Fig. 9. As shown in Fig. 9, one end 731 of the support member 73 is fixed to an inner support portion 201 provided on the sheet 20. The other end 732 of the support member 73 is fixed to an outer support portion 701 of the fly sheet 7. The support member 73 has a rigidity that does not cause it to stretch, and the distance between the inner support portion 201 and the outer support portion 701 is kept constant.
[0026] The pull-up cord 72 is adjusted by a stopper 74 so that it is shorter than the distance between the outer support part 701 and the central support part 702 of the flysheet 7. Since the distance between the inner support part 201 and the outer support part 701 is kept constant by the support member 73, shortening the pull-up cord 72 moves the outer support part 701 closer to the central support part 702, causing the flysheet 7 to bend. As a result, the flysheet 7 bends downward from the frame 25, forming a gutter part 71.
[0027] With reference to Fig. 10, the support member 73 will be described. As shown in Fig. 10(A), when the support member 73 is not fixed to the inner support part 201, the fly sheet 7 is aligned with the tent 2. As shown in Fig. 10(B), when the end of the fly sheet 7 is lifted and the support member 73 is pulled out, one end 731 of the support member 73 can be fixed to the inner support part 201. By fixing one end of the support member 73 to the inner support part 201 and pulling out the pull-up string 72 and adjusting the length with the stopper 74, the gutter part 71 can be formed.
[0028] [Note] Notes 1 to 12 below can be combined in any way as long as there is no technical contradiction.
[0029] [Appendix 1] A sheet 20 including an exhaust section 26 having an opening 261 through which a chimney 4 connected to a stove 5 disposed inside the tent 2 passes toward the outside of the tent 2; A pair of first frames supporting the exhaust section 26 and extending to the bottom B of the tent 2; a pair of second frames that support the exhaust unit 26 and are provided so as to maintain a distance between the pair of first frames; The tent (2) is provided with a chimney support part that is connected to the sheet (20) and supports the chimney (4) inside the tent (2).
[0030] The first frame corresponds to frames 21, 22, 23, and 24. The second frame corresponds to frames 27 and 28. Note that a tent is a general term for a structure in which a sheet is supported by a frame to form an internal space, and includes both those with and without a sheet on the floor.
[0031] Since the exhaust section 26 is supported by a pair of first frames and a pair of second frames, it is possible to reliably support the exhaust section 26, which is provided with an opening 262 through which the chimney 4 passes, from the inside of the tent 2 to the outside. Since the chimney support section supports the chimney 4 inside the tent 2, there is no need to provide a rope or the like supporting the chimney 4 outside the tent 2 as shown in Figure 2, and safety outside the tent 2 can be further improved.
[0032] [Appendix 2] Tent 2 as described in Appendix 1, wherein the second frame is arranged inside tent 2 in a direction intersecting the extension direction of frames 21 and 22 which are the first frame, and is arranged so as to be connected to sheet 20 inside tent 2.
[0033] Since the second frame is provided inside the tent 2, the chimney support part can be easily connected.
[0034] [Appendix 3] 3. The tent 2 according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the chimney support is connected to the second frame so as to support the chimney 4 in at least three different directions.
[0035] Since the chimney 4 is supported in at least three different directions, the chimney 4 can be supported more stably.
[0036] [Appendix 4] 4. The tent 2 according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the chimney support is configured to support the chimney 4 and allow the chimney 4 to move up and down.
[0037] Since the chimney 4 can be moved up and down, the position of the chimney 4 can be determined, then the chimney 4 can be raised, the stove 5 can be moved to the position of the chimney 4, and then the chimney 4 can be lowered to connect with the stove 5.
[0038] [Appendix 5] A tent 2 described in any one of Appendices 1 to 4, wherein the chimney support portion includes a chimney fixing portion 61 fixed to the chimney 4, a circular ring portion 63 fixed to the sheet 20, and a fixing band 62 connected to the chimney fixing portion 61, passing through the circular ring portion 63, and configured so that the distance between the chimney fixing portion 61 and the circular ring portion 63 can be adjusted.
[0039] When the chimney support part is configured as in Supplementary Note 5, the work of connecting the stove 5 to the chimney 4 becomes easy. Specifically, the chimney fixing part 61 is fixed to the chimney 4. The fixing band 62 is attached to the chimney fixing part 61 fixed to the chimney 4. The fixing band 62 attached to the chimney fixing part 61 is passed through the annular part 63. When the fixing band 62 is pulled, the chimney 4 rises. A target point CP for placing the stove 5 is set below the chimney 4. The stove 5 is placed using the target point CP as a landmark. The fixing band 62 is gradually released from the pulled state, and the chimney 4 is lowered and connected to the stove 5. In this way, the distance between the chimney fixing part 61 and the annular part 63 can be adjusted by the fixing band 62, so that the chimney fixing part 61 can be easily held at any height, and as a result, the work of connecting the chimney 4 and the stove 5 becomes easy.
[0040] [Appendix 6] Including a fly sheet 3 that covers at least the exhaust portion 26, The fly sheet 3 includes an outer exhaust section 31 having an outer opening 311 through which the chimney 4 passes, A silicon ring 312 is provided at the outer opening 311 as a heat buffer member.

[0042] The following Supplementary Notes 8 to 12 relate to a gutter structure provided on a tent. In this specification, the gutter structure is provided on tent 2 as an example, but tents on which the gutter structure can be provided are not limited to tent 2. Conventional tents, including those in Patent Document 1, do not incorporate any particular ingenuity in the treatment of rainwater that runs down the sheet, and the following Supplementary Notes 8 to 12 aim to provide a more comfortable environment even in rainy weather.
[0043] [Appendix 8] A gutter structure provided in a tent, An outer sheet to be placed on the outside of the tent; An inner seat that is disposed closer to the interior than the outer seat; The sheet is provided with a support member 73 having one end 731 attached to an inner support portion 201 provided on the inner sheet and the other end 732 attached to an outer support portion 701 provided on the outer sheet, and capable of supporting the outer sheet at a distance from the inner sheet.
[0044] The outer sheet corresponds to the fly sheet 7. The inner sheet corresponds to the sheet 20.
[0045] According to Supplementary Note 8, since the outer sheet is supported by the support member 73 at a distance from the inner sheet, the outer sheet can be separated from the inner sheet by a simple means to form a gutter structure. The gutter structure is preferably provided above an opening such as an entrance or exit of a tent. In the present embodiment, an example in which the support member 73 is provided at one location has been described, but a plurality of support members 73 may be provided. In the present embodiment, as an example, the support member 73 is fixed to the outer support part 701 and is detachable from the inner support part 201, but it is sufficient as long as the outer sheet can be supported at a distance from the inner sheet, and for example, the support member 73 may be fixed to the inner support part 201 and is detachable from the outer support part 701.
[0046] [Appendix 9] A gutter structure as described in Appendix 8, in which the outer sheet is restrained so as not to move relative to the inner sheet at a first restraint portion 8 and a second restraint portion 9 that are spaced apart from each other, is not restrained between the first restraint portion 8 and the second restraint portion 9, and the outer support portion 701 is provided between the first restraint portion 8 and the second restraint portion 9.
[0047] According to Appendix 9, an outer support portion 701 is provided between the first restraint portion 8 and the second restraint portion 9, so that a portion where the inner sheet and the outer sheet are close to each other can be formed by sandwiching the portion where the outer sheet is pulled away from the inner sheet, and rainwater received by the gutter structure can be directed toward both sides of the first restraint portion 8 and the second restraint portion 9.
[0048] [Appendix 10] A gutter structure as described in Appendix 8 or 9, wherein the outer sheet is provided with a lifting member connecting the outer support portion 701 and a central support portion 702 provided closer to the center than the outer support portion 701.
