Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a large tent 1 in an installed state according to an embodiment to which the present invention is applied. Hereinafter, the large tent 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 1. In the drawings, when the entrance / exit is viewed from the front in the installation form, the left-right direction X, the depth direction Y, and the vertical direction Z are shown, respectively, and these directions will also be used in this specification for the description.

[0020] (Configuration of the large tent 1) The large tent 1 is deformable between a portable storage form and an installation form installed on the tent installation surface, is installed on the tent installation surface at the tent installation location, the front side in the depth direction Y can be opened and closed as an entrance / exit, and is an assembled tent that is a three-dimensional structure in which an internal space (indoor space) is formed inside. This large tent 1 is a large tent having a size that allows a person to stand up without bending in the internal living space in the installation form. In the installation form, the large tent 1 includes a main frame 2 that is erected on the tent installation surface and forms a central skeleton, a tent sheet 3 that is suspended and spanned by the main frame 2, a plurality of main frame fixing parts 4 for fixing the main frame 2, and a plurality of hanging hook parts 5 for hanging the tent sheet 3 from the main frame 2. Further, in the installation form, the large tent 1 includes a sub-frame 6 that is erected on the tent installation surface and forms a skeleton for reinforcing the main frame 2, a plurality of sub-frame fixing parts 7 for fixing the sub-frame 6, and a sleeve 8 for hanging the tent sheet 3 from the sub-frame 6. In addition, the large tent 1 includes a plurality of anchor members 9 for fixing the tent sheet 3 to the tent installation surface, a rope (not shown) for further stretching the tent sheet 3 in a tensioned state, and the like.

[0021] The main frame 2 is composed of a plurality of poles 21 which are linear and elongated rods made of metal or reinforced plastic and can be bent into a curved state. In the installation form, these plurality of poles 21 are combined to form a three-dimensional shape. The main frame 2 forms the skeleton at the center of the large tent 1 in the installation form. More specifically, in the installation form, the main frame 2 includes a top connection pole 21a located at the top and curved and extending in an arch shape along the left-right direction X, and is connected to both ends of the top connection pole 21a. From both ends respectively, it curves and extends downward so as to bifurcate into the front side and the back side in the depth direction Y, and is composed of four grounding poles 21b with the lower ends being grounding ends that are grounded on the tent installation surface. In the installation form, the top connection pole 21a and the grounding pole 21b are in a curved state such that the height position becomes higher as they go toward the center and bulges outward. Each pole 21 constituting the main frame 2 may be an elongated rod made of a single member, or may be a single elongated rod formed by joining a plurality of members.

[0022] The tent sheet 3 is composed of a plurality of sheet-shaped fabrics selected from vinyl, cloth, leather, etc., joined by sewing, adhesion, etc., or integrally separated by a wire fastener or a surface fastener, etc. The tent sheet 3 is suspended from the main frame 2 and tensioned and installed to form surfaces such as a roof surface, a wall surface, and a floor surface that define a living space inside. The tent sheet 3 has an opening 31 that can be opened and closed and serves as an entrance to the living space in a part of the surface (as an example, in FIG. 1, surface fasteners are formed on both sides of the surface in front of the depth direction Y, and the surface in front of the depth direction Y can be opened and closed widely). In addition, an annular member 32 for connecting the anchor member 9 or the rope described later is attached to the lower edge or the middle height position in the installation form of the tent sheet 3, and the tent sheet 3 can be fixed to the tent installation surface by the anchor member 9 or the rope connected to the annular member 32. This tent sheet 3 constitutes the wall surface of the living space of the large tent 1, has a large tent living ground area, and has a sense of weight.

[0023] The main frame fixing part 4 is a part for fixing the grounding end of the pole 21 that constitutes the main frame 2 so that its position does not shift, and is attached corresponding to the grounding end of the pole 21 that constitutes the main frame 2 at the part that becomes the lower edge in the installation form of the tent sheet 3. More specifically, the main frame fixing part 4 includes a ring-shaped part into which the pole 21 can be inserted and fixed, and is sewn and attached to the tent sheet 3 so as to project from the wall surface on the extension of the floor surface of the tent sheet 3. A plurality of main frame fixing parts 4 are attached corresponding to the positions for grounding the grounding ends of the plurality of poles 21. When the grounding ends of the poles 21 at both ends of the main frame 2 in the state where the main frame 2 is bent in an arch shape are inserted into the main frame fixing part 4 attached to the tent sheet 3 in this way, each of the inserted main frame fixing parts 4 holds the inserted grounding end of the pole 21 so that it does not come out, and moves outward so as to spread due to the force that the main frame 2 tries to return from the bent state, and tensions the parts of the attached tent sheet 3, and as a result, spreads and tensions the floor surface of the tent sheet 3.

[0024] The hanging hook part 5 is a part for detachably connecting the main frame 2 and the tent sheet 3, and is attached at predetermined intervals to the part along the main frame 2 in the installation form of the tent sheet 3. The hanging hook part 5 has a hook shape that can be hooked on the pole 21 that constitutes the main frame 2 during installation. This hanging hook part 5 is slidable along the pole 21 when hooked on the pole 21. The hanging hook part 5 having such a shape is hooked on the pole 21 that constitutes the main frame 2 and slid along the pole 21 and arranged at an appropriate position in the installation form, thereby lifting the tent sheet 3 in a state of being discretely supported by the main frame 2. Note that the hanging hook part 5 may adopt not only a part that is partially open, but also a part that has a movable part that can be opened in a part like a carabiner, which is usually ring-shaped but becomes a hook shape when opened.

[0025] The sub-frame 6 includes a pole 61 for the sub-frame which is a straight and elongated rod made of metal or reinforced plastic and can be bent into a curved state, and is assembled in an arched shape in the installation form. Regarding the sub-frame, depending on the specifications of the tent, it may be installed at zero, one, or more locations. In the embodiment, the sub-frame 6 is installed at two locations in front of and behind the main frame 2 in the depth direction Y of the installation form, forming a framework for reinforcing the main frame 2. Each sub-frame 6 is, in the installation form, grounded at both ends and extends in an arched shape along the left-right direction X. At this time, the front sub-frame 6 installed in front of the main frame 2 has its top inclined forward and intersects the front grounding pole 21b of the main frame 2 at the lateral positions on both the left and right sides in the left-right direction X, and is connected to the main frame 2 by, for example, an S-shaped hook or the like. Also, the rear sub-frame 6 installed behind the main frame 2 has its top inclined backward and intersects the rear grounding pole 21b of the main frame 2 at the lateral positions on both the left and right sides in the left-right direction X, and is connected to the main frame 2 by, for example, an S-shaped hook or the like. Each pole 61 for the sub-frame constituting the sub-frame 6 may be an elongated rod made of a single member, or may be formed by joining a plurality of members into one elongated rod.

[0026] The sub-frame fixing part 7 is a part for fixing the grounding end of the pole 61 for the sub-frame constituting the sub-frame 6 so that its position does not shift, and is attached corresponding to the grounding end of the pole 61 for the sub-frame constituting the sub-frame 6 at the part that becomes the lower edge in the installation form of the tent sheet 3. Similar to the main-frame fixing part 4, the sub-frame fixing part 7 includes a ring-shaped part into which the pole 61 for the sub-frame can be inserted and fixed, and is sewn and attached to the tent sheet 3 so as to project from the wall surface on the extension of the floor surface of the tent sheet 3.

[0027] The sleeve 8 is attached to a portion along the sub-frame 6 in the setup form of the tent sheet 3. The sleeve 8 has a bag shape extending in the left-right direction X with a predetermined length through which the sub-frame pole 61 for the sub-frame can be inserted. In such a setup form, with the sub-frame pole 61 that constitutes the sub-frame 6 passed through the sleeve 8 of this shape, a location different from the location supported by being suspended by the main frame 2 of the tent sheet 3 is lifted up in a state supported by the sub-frame 6.

[0028] The anchor member 9 is, as an example, a peg. It is driven into the tent setup surface through the inside of the ring of the annular member 32 attached to the tent sheet 3 from the lower end side and the annular member 32 is hooked on the return formed at the upper end, or after being driven into the tent setup surface, the annular member 32 attached to the tent sheet 3 is hooked on the return formed at the upper end, thereby fixing the tent sheet 3 to the tent setup surface. Another example of the anchor member 9 is a weight. It is placed on or hooked onto the annular member 32 attached to the tent sheet 3, and the tent sheet 3 is fixed to the tent setup surface by its weight.

[0029] The large tent 1 configured in this way is a tent that can be carried in a stored form. When in use, the tent sheet 3 spread out at a desired setup location is suspended and supported by the erected main frame 2 and sub-frame 6 and is tensioned to a target tension state to be in the setup form. Also, when the use at the setup location is finished, the connection between the anchor member 9 and the tent sheet 3 is removed, the main frame 2 and sub-frame 6 are removed from the tent sheet 3, and the tent sheet 3 can be folded by releasing the tension state and returned to the stored form. Next, the setup method of the large tent 1 will be described in detail.

[0030] (Setup Method of the Large Tent 1) FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the installation procedure of the large tent 1 according to the embodiment, and FIG. 3 is an installation procedure diagram schematically showing a part of the installation procedure. With reference to these figures, as an example of the method for installing a large tent according to the present invention, the installation method of the large tent 1 will be described.

[0031] The method for installing the large tent 1 is to stretch the tent sheet 3 over the main frame 2 and the sub-frame 6 erected on the tent installation surface, so that the tent sheet 3 is in a target tension state, and the internal living space has a size that allows a person to stand up without bending. The large tent is installed by connecting and fixing a plurality of annular members 32 attached to the tent sheet 3 to each of a plurality of anchor members 9 fixed to the tent installation surface so as to be in a predetermined tension state. As shown in FIG. 2, the method for installing the large tent 1 is carried out in the order of a preparation step ST1, a tent sheet laying step ST2, a main frame erection step ST3, a tent sheet hanging step ST4, and a tent sheet stretching step ST5. Further, after the tent sheet laying step ST2, a tent sheet fixing step ST6 is appropriately carried out.

[0032] In the preparation step ST1, a plurality of main frame fixing components 4 capable of fixing the grounded ends of the poles 21 constituting the main frame 2 are attached to the part corresponding to the grounded ends of the poles 21 at the lower edge in the installation form of the tent sheet 3. Also, a plurality of hanging hook components 5 having a hook shape are attached at predetermined intervals to the part along the main frame 2 in the installation form of the tent sheet 3. Further, a sub-frame fixing component 7 capable of fixing the grounded ends of the sub-frame poles 61 constituting the sub-frame 6 is attached to the part corresponding to the grounded ends of the sub-frame poles 61 at the lower edge in the installation form of the tent sheet 3. Also, a sleeve 8 having a bag shape through which the sub-frame pole 61 can be inserted is attached to the part along the sub-frame 6 in the installation form of the tent sheet 3. In the case where the main frame fixing component 4, the hanging hook component 5, the sub-frame fixing component 7, and the sleeve 8 are already integrated with the tent sheet 3 by sewing or the like, it is assumed that these attachment operations have been performed. Also, in the preparation step ST1, a plurality of anchor members 9 for fixing the tent sheet 3 to the tent installation surface are prepared. Then, in the preparation step ST1, the tent sheet 3 etc. are carried in a stored state to a desired installation location.

[0033] In the tent sheet laying step ST2, as shown in Fig. 3(a), the tent sheet 3 is spread and laid in a desired direction on the tent installation surface at a desired installation location.

[0034] In the main frame erection step ST3, first, a plurality of poles 21 constituting the main frame 2 are connected at branch points or the like using branch connection members or the like to assemble the main frame 2 that forms a three-dimensional central skeleton. Next, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the assembled main frame 2 is bent and curved, and the grounding end of the grounding pole 21b in the pole 21 is fixed to the main frame fixing part 4 attached to the tent sheet 3 laid in the tent sheet laying step ST2. As a result, in the main frame erection step ST3, the main frame 2 is erected while being fixed to the main frame fixing part 4, and due to the force of the main frame 2 trying to expand from the bent state, the main frame fixing part 4 moves so as to expand outward, and as a result, the floor surface of the tent sheet 3 is stretched in an expanded state.

[0035] In the tent sheet hanging step ST4, first, when the opening 31 of the tent sheet 3 laid in the tent sheet laying step ST2 is closed, the opening 31 is opened, and the part of the tent sheet 3 where the hanging hook component 5 is attached is lifted. By opening the opening 31, the installer can stand directly on the floor surface of the tent sheet 3 instead of the outer wall surface of the tent sheet 3, and when lifting the tent sheet 3, can stand at a position closer to the main frame 2 without being blocked by the outer wall surface that is lifted together. Also, by opening the opening 31, air can easily enter the inside of the tent sheet 3, eliminating the pressure difference between the atmospheric pressure applied from the outside of the tent sheet 3 and the internal air pressure, and reducing the load applied from the outside by the atmospheric pressure when lifting the tent sheet 3, so that less force is required. In the tent sheet hanging step ST4, as shown in Fig. 3(c), each of the hanging hook components 5 attached to the tent sheet 3 is hooked onto the corresponding pole 21 that constitutes the main frame 2 erected in the main frame erection step ST3, and the tent sheet 3 is hung on the main frame 2. At this time, when trying to hook the hanging hook component 5 at a high position such as the top connection pole 21a among the poles 21 that constitute the main frame 2 and the hand cannot reach the predetermined position in the installation form, if the hand cannot reach the predetermined position, the main frame 2 is tilted while being bent to lower the position, and the hanging hook component 5 is hooked at a lower and reachable position on the end side of the top connection pole 21a in the predetermined arrangement order, and then the hanging hook component 5 can be slid along the top connection pole 21a to a predetermined height position and moved.

[0036] In the tent sheet stretching step ST5, the tent sheet 3 is stretched in a tensioned state one or more times. Specifically, in the tent sheet stretching step ST5, the sub-frame 6 is inserted into the corresponding sleeve 8 (see Fig. 3(c)). While bending the sub-frame 6, as shown in Fig. 3(d), the grounding end of the sub-frame pole 61 is fixed to the sub-frame fixing part 7, and the main frame 2 and the sub-frame 6 are fixed at the intersecting positions. Then, the tent sheet 3 is lifted by the sub-frame 6 via the sleeve 8, and the tent sheet 3 is stretched in a tensioned state. Since the large tent 1 of the embodiment is a tent provided with the sub-frame 6, in the tent sheet stretching step ST5, by erecting the sub-frame 6, the tent sheet 3 is stretched in a tensioned state. However, in the case of a large tent that does not use a sub-frame or when it is desired to further stretch the tent sheet in a large tent using a sub-frame, etc., in the tent sheet stretching step ST5, a rope is used to connect one end to the annular member 32 attached to the tent sheet and the other end to the anchor member 9 fixed to the tent installation surface, thereby stretching the tent sheet in a tensioned state.

[0037] In the tent sheet fixing step ST6, as shown in Fig. 3(d), after the tent sheet laying step ST2, appropriately, a plurality of anchor members 9 are used, and the anchor member 9 fixed to the tent installation surface and the annular member 32 attached to the tent sheet 3 are connected one or more times to fix the tent sheet 3 to the tent installation surface. Thereby, the installation of the large tent 1 is completed.

[0038] (Function and Effect) The large tent 1 according to the embodiment is a large tent in which a person can stand up in the internal living space in the installation form, and includes a main frame 2 that forms the central skeleton, and a tent sheet 3 that is suspended from the main frame 2 and forms a solid body that defines the living space inside. And this large tent 1 is attached to the tent sheet 3, and has a plurality of main frame fixing parts 4 that can fix the grounding end parts of the poles 21 that make up the main frame 2, and is attached to the tent sheet 3, and has a hook shape that can be hooked on the poles 21 that make up the main frame 2 during installation. It is provided with a plurality of hanging hook parts 5. With such a configuration, in order to hang the tent sheet 3 on the main frame 2, the large tent 1 does not use a bag-shaped sleeve like a conventional large tent. Instead, it has a hook shape that can be hooked on the pole 21 that makes up the main frame 2. A plurality of hanging hook parts 5 are used. As a result, in the large tent 1, it is not necessary to lift the tent sheet 3 when erecting the main frame 2. After erecting the main frame 2, lift the tent sheet 3 and hook the hanging hook parts 5 on the pole 21 that makes up the main frame 2. just do it. When manually lifting the tent sheet 3 partially in this way, even if the tent fabric is a relatively wide and heavy tent sheet, it can be lifted without requiring too much force. In addition, since the tent sheet 3 has an opening 31, the installer can open the opening 31 and stand on the floor surface of the tent sheet 3 to easily hook the hanging hook parts 5 on the main frame 2 where the hanging hook parts 5 are erected. At the same time, since the internal air pressure becomes the same as the atmospheric pressure pressing from above, the load applied from the outside by the atmospheric pressure is reduced, and it can be lifted without requiring too much force. As a result, according to the large tent 1, even users with little tent installation experience or weak users do not need to exert much force in the operation of lifting the tent sheet 3, so it can be easily installed.The hanging hook component 5 is attached at predetermined intervals to a portion along the main frame 2 in the setup form of the tent sheet 3. In order to discretely disperse and support the tent sheet 3, even for a tent sheet 3 with a relatively large area and a heavy weight, it can be spanned across the main frame 2 with sufficient tension and strength.

[0039] Also, in this large tent 1, in the setup form, the main frame 2 is in a curved state where the height position of the pole 21 that constitutes the main frame 2 increases as it goes towards the center and bulges outwards. When the hanging hook component 5 is hooked onto the pole 21, it can slide along the pole 21. Thus, according to the large tent 1, even though it is a structure where the tent sheet 3 is lifted after the main frame 2 is erected, by hooking the hanging hook component 5 at a reachable position of the main frame 2 and then sliding it, the tent sheet 3 can be lifted to a position that is out of reach.

[0040] Also, this large tent 1 further includes a sub-frame 6 that includes a sub-frame pole 61 and forms a framework for reinforcing the main frame 2 in the setup form, a sub-frame fixing component 7 that is attached to the tent sheet 3 and can fix the grounded end of the sub-frame pole 61, and a sleeve 8 that is attached to the tent sheet 3 and has a bag shape through which the sub-frame pole 61 can be inserted. Since the sub-frame 6 can form a large framework while reinforcing the main frame 2, a large tent with a larger living space can be configured.

[0041] The method for setting up the large tent 1 according to the embodiment includes a main frame erection step ST3 of standing the main frame 2 while bending and curving it, and lifting the tent sheet 3 and hooking each of the suspension hook parts 5 attached to the tent sheet 3 to the corresponding pole 21 constituting the main frame 2 erected in the main frame erection step ST3, and a tent sheet suspension step ST4 of suspending the tent sheet 3 from the main frame 2. In this method for setting up the large tent 1, after standing the main frame 2 while bending and curving it in the main frame erection step ST3, since the tent sheet 3 is lifted in the tent sheet suspension step ST4, each operation can be performed separately, and as described above, a large force is not required when lifting the tent sheet 3. Therefore, compared with the case of performing these operations simultaneously as in the conventional method, the difficulty level is lower, and the force required to lift the tent sheet 3 can be smaller. Thus, according to this method for setting up the large tent 1, even a user with little tent setting experience or a weak user can easily set it up.

[0042] Also, in this method for setting up the large tent 1, in the tent sheet suspension step ST4, when the opening 31 of the tent sheet 3 is closed, the opening 31 is opened and then the tent sheet 3 is lifted. According to this method for setting up the large tent 1, the installer can stand on the floor surface of the tent sheet 3 near the main frame 2 with the opening 31 of the tent sheet 3 open, making it easy to reach the main frame 2, and by making the internal air pressure of the tent sheet 3 the same as the atmospheric pressure pressing from above, the load applied from the outside by the atmospheric pressure is reduced, so that the tent sheet 3 can be lifted without requiring a large force, and thus it can be set up more easily.

[0043] Also, in the method of setting up this large tent 1, in the tent sheet hanging step ST4, when it is difficult to reach, the hanging hook part 5 may tilt the main frame 2, and after hooking it to the reachable position of the pole 21 constituting the main frame 2 in a predetermined arrangement order, it is slid along the pole 21 to a predetermined height position and moved. According to this method of setting up this large tent 1, by hooking the hanging hook part 5 to the reachable position of the main frame 2 and then sliding it, the tent sheet 3 can be lifted to a position that cannot be reached by hand.

[0044] Also, in the method of setting up this large tent 1, after the main frame 2 is erected and the central part of the tent sheet 3 is hung on the main frame 2, in the tent sheet stretching step ST5, the sub-frame 6 is inserted into the corresponding sleeve 8, and the grounded end of the sub-frame pole 61 is fixed to the sub-frame fixing part 7. It is not difficult to insert and erect the sub-frame 6 into the sleeve 8 with the tent sheet 3 bridged over the main frame 2, and by using the sub-frame 6, a wider living space can be defined.

[0045] (Other forms) As described above, the present invention has been described based on the above embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It can be implemented in various modes without departing from the gist thereof. For example, the following modifications are also possible.

[0046] (1) The number, material, shape, position, size, etc. of the components described in the above embodiments are examples, and can be changed within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention.

[0047] (2) In the above-described embodiment, the large tent 1 is set up by inserting the sub-frame 6 into the bag-shaped sleeve 8 attached to the tent sheet 3, and a part of the tent sheet 3 is suspended from the sub-frame 6. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Similar to the method of suspending the tent sheet 3 using the hanging hook parts 5 on the main frame 2, hanging hook parts for the sub-frame may be attached to the tent sheet 3, and the hanging hook parts for the sub-frame may be hooked on the sub-frame 6 to suspend the tent sheet 3 from the sub-frame.

[0048] (3) In the above-described embodiment, the large tent 1 is composed of a top connection pole 21a where the main frame 2 is located at the top, and four ground poles 21b that branch into two from both ends of the top connection pole 21a and are connected. The main frame 2 and the sub-frame 6 constitute the framework. However, the present invention is not limited to such a framework. Examples of the framework of the large tent to which the present invention can be applied include the following modified examples.

[0049] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a first modified example of the frame shape of the large tent, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a second modified example of the frame shape of the large tent. In each figure, (a) shows the state where the main frame is erected, and (b) shows the state where the tent sheet is suspended by hooking the hanging hook parts on the erected main frame.

[0050] The large tent 101 of the first modified example shown in FIG. 4 has the same shape of the main frame 102 as the main frame 2 of the large tent 1 in the embodiment, but no sub-frame is configured. Even if no sub-frame is configured as in the large tent 101, the configuration according to the present invention of hooking the hanging hook parts 105 on the main frame 102 to suspend the tent sheet 103 can be applied.

[0051] The large tent 201 of the second modified example shown in FIG. 5 has a main frame 202 composed of a top connecting tool 223 located at the top and grounding poles 221b extending downward from the top connecting tool 223 in three branches. Even in a structure where the grounding poles are not bifurcated from both ends of the top connecting pole as in the large tent 201, but a plurality of grounding poles 221b are connected by the top connecting tool 223, the configuration according to the present invention can be applied in which the hanging hook component 205 is hooked on the grounding pole 221b of the main frame 202 to hang the tent sheet 203. In such a form of the main frame, in order to be able to fix the tent sheet 203 in a state where it is firmly lifted to the top, a component for hooking on the top connecting tool 223 is attached to a part corresponding to the top of the tent sheet 203, and in the installation form, it is preferable to hook and hang the component on the top connecting tool 223.
