Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED ART APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims priority to a Chinese patent application, application number CN202320180846.2, filed on February 8, 2023. [Technical field]

[0002] The present disclosure relates to outdoor equipment, and more particularly to a fabric cover connection part, a foldable outdoor equipment, and an assembly method thereof. [Background technology]

[0003] An outdoor tent usually includes a tent stand and a fabric cover connected to the tent stand, and is used for protection from the sun, rain, wind, etc. during outdoor activities. Currently, most tent fabric covers are connected to the tent stand via hook-and-loop fasteners (also called Velcro, Thorn, etc.). However, for folding tents, many eaves frames that constitute the top structure typically use levers that can be deployed and folded relative to each other, such as cross-link assemblies that pivot relative to each other, and the above-mentioned hook-and-loop connection method has the following problems: during the process of deploying or folding the tent, the relative position of the levers changes, the hook-and-loop slides on the levers, increasing the wear on the levers; when the hook-and-loop is located at or moves to the pivot point of the levers, the hook-and-loop is easily pinched and broken by the two levers that are close to each other; during the process of deploying or folding the tent, the hook-and-loop tape, connecting straps, etc. connected thereto may be torn due to the position fluctuation of the levers, and the protruding parts of the fabric cover and the levers (especially the connecting screws or pins at the lever pivot points, etc.) are likely to rub against each other and cause scratches on the fabric cover. In addition, when installing the fabric cover, both hands are required to operate the hook-and-loop tape, and most of the connecting positions are at a high place, making it inconvenient to connect and assemble the fabric cover. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The present disclosure relates to a fabric cover connecting part that can conveniently connect a fabric cover to a lever. The present disclosure also relates to a foldable outdoor equipment using the fabric cover connecting part and an assembly method thereof. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] One aspect of the present disclosure is A lever having a connection portion on the pivot that is a part of the pivot or is connected to the pivot, the lever being rotatable about a rotation axis of the pivot; A cloth cover connection part including a connection strap for connecting to the cloth cover, The fabric cover connecting part further a hanging part provided on the connection strap and having a connection groove that engages with the connection part; When the fabric cover is connected onto the lever, the connection portion is located within the connection groove; A fabric cover connection part is provided in which the connection groove is arranged to allow the connection part to enter into the connection groove along a direction perpendicular to or obliquely intersecting the pivot axis.

[0032] In order to facilitate understanding of the advantages and features of the present disclosure by those skilled in the art, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Note that the description of these embodiments contributes to the understanding of the present disclosure, but does not constitute a limitation to the present disclosure. In addition, the technical features according to the various embodiments of the present disclosure described below can be combined with each other as long as they are not inconsistent with each other.

[0033] 1 to 4, in this embodiment, a fabric cover connecting part 100 for connecting a fabric cover 3 to a lever 131 is provided. The fabric cover connecting part 100 includes a lever 131 that is rotatably mounted around a rotation axis of a pivot 41. The lever 131 is provided with a connecting part 412, which is a part of the pivot 41 or is connected to the pivot 41. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting part 412 is connected to the pivot 41.

[0034] Furthermore, the cloth cover connection part 100 further includes a connection strap 21 connected to the cloth cover 3 by sewing, and a hanging part 22. The hanging part 22 is provided on the connection strap 21. As shown in FIG. 3 , the hanging part 22 is between the lever 131 and the connection strap 21 and is hidden by the connection strap 21, and the cloth cover 3 covers at least a part of the lever 131.

[0035] 4, the hanging part 22 is in a sheet shape, made of a plastic piece (having a certain degree of elasticity), and has a thin-walled stitching groove 223. The connecting strap 21 may be a polypropylene braided belt, and the hanging part 22 is sewn to the connecting strap 21, and the stitching thread is located in the stitching groove 223. The hanging part 22 has a connecting groove 221 that matches the connecting part 412, and a pair of guide slopes 222, and the connecting part 412 is located in the connecting groove 221.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 4, the connecting groove 221 is generally C-shaped, and the connecting groove 221 has an opening, the width of which is smaller than the diameter of the connecting portion 412, so that the connecting portion 412 is not easily slipped out of the opening. The opening is arranged to allow the connecting portion 412 to enter the connecting groove 221 along a direction perpendicular to or diagonally intersecting the rotation axis. Each of the guide inclined surfaces 222 has a near end 2221 approaching the opening and a far end 2222 away from the opening, and the distance between the far ends 2221 of the pair of guide inclined surfaces 222 is larger than the distance between the near ends 2222. In the process of connecting the hanging part 22 and the lever 131, the connecting portion 412 is pushed into the connecting groove 221 from the pair of guide inclined surfaces 222.
