[Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a side view of the tarp according to this embodiment. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a partially enlarged view of the tarp according to this embodiment. [Figure 5] FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged view of the tarp according to this embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. To facilitate understanding of the description, the same components in the drawings will be denoted by the same reference numerals as much as possible, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted.

[0010] The tarp according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1, 2, and 3. Figure 1 is a perspective view of the tarp 2 according to this embodiment. Figure 2 is a plan view of the tarp 2 according to this embodiment. Figure 3 is a front view of the tarp 2 according to this embodiment.

[0011] The tarp 2 comprises a first fabric material 2A and a second fabric material 2B. The first fabric material 2A and the second fabric material 2B are installed at a predetermined height from the installation surface using support poles 2E and multiple ropes. The first fabric material 2A and the second fabric material 2B are arranged so that they partially overlap. The first fabric material 2A is arranged closer to the installation surface. The second fabric material 2B is arranged on the outer side of the first fabric material 2A. The second fabric material 2B has a larger heat storage capacity than the first fabric material 2A. The second fabric material 2B is formed, for example, using fibers with a heat storage effect.

[0012] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the first fabric material 2A and the second fabric material 2B are arranged to form an air layer at a predetermined distance. The predetermined distance is, for example, approximately 10 cm to 20 cm, but may be shorter or longer than this exemplary distance. As described above, the second fabric material 2B has a relatively high heat storage capacity and stores heat from sunlight. Because an air layer is provided between the second fabric material 2B and the second fabric material 2A, only a very small amount of the heat stored in the second fabric material 2B is transferred to the first fabric material 2A, creating a cool environment in the area below the first fabric material 2A.

[0013] The first fabric material 2A includes first top portions 2Aa and 2Ag, connecting mooring portions 2Ab, 2Af, 2Ah and 2Al, non-connecting mooring portions 2Ac, 2Ae, 2Ai and 2Ak, and intermediate mooring portions 2Ad and 2Aj.

[0014] The second fabric material 2B includes second top portions 2Ba and 2Be and second anchoring portions 2Bb, 2Bc, 2Bd, 2Bf, 2Bg, and 2Bh.

[0015] The second top portions 2Ba and 2Be are fixed to the support pillar 2E. As shown in Fig. 5, the second top portion 2Ba and the first top portion 2Aa are connected by a second distance maintaining member 2D. The second distance maintaining member 2D has a first belt portion 2Da, a second belt portion 2Db, and a support pillar winding portion 2Dc.

[0016] The first belt portion 2Da is fixed to the second top portion 2Ba. The second belt portion 2Db is fixed to the first top portion 2Aa. The first belt portion 2Da and the second belt portion 2Db are configured to be detachable with a buckle.

[0017] A pole-wrapping portion 2Dc is connected to the second belt portion 2Db. The pole-wrapping portion 2Dc is configured so that it can be wrapped around and fixed to the pole 2E. When the pole-wrapping portion 2Dc is wrapped around the pole 2E, the horizontal distance between the pole 2E and the first top portion 2Aa is limited, and this, combined with the tension acting on other portions of the first fabric material 2A, positions the first top portion 2Aa.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 5, the second apex 2Be and the first apex 2Ag are connected by a second distance maintaining member 2D and fixed to a support 2E.

[0019] The second mooring sections 2Bb, 2Bc, 2Bd, 2Bf, 2Bg, and 2Bh are moored to the installation surface by one or more ropes. When mooring the second mooring sections 2Bb, 2Bc, 2Bd, 2Bf, 2Bg, and 2Bh, poles (not shown) may be used.

[0020] The connecting mooring portions 2Ab, 2Af, 2Ah, and 2Al are connected to the second mooring portions 2Bb, 2Bc, 2Bd, 2Bf, 2Bg, and 2Bh and are connected to the installation surface. As shown in Fig. 4, the connecting mooring portion 2Ab and the second mooring portion 2Bb are connected via a first distance maintaining member 2C.

[0021] The non-connected mooring sections 2Ac, 2Ae, 2Ai, and 2Ak are not connected to the second mooring sections 2Bb, 2Bc, 2Bd, 2Bf, 2Bg, and 2Bh, but are instead connected to the installation surface. As shown in Figure 2, the intermediate mooring section 2Ad is connected to the second mooring section 2Bc by a distance-adjustable member 2F. The intermediate mooring section 2Aj is connected to the second mooring section 2Bg by a distance-adjustable member 2F.

[0022] The distance between the intermediate mooring parts 2Ad, 2Aj and the second mooring parts 2Bc, 2Bg can be changed by a distance variable member 2F. The distance variable member 2F can be any member that connects the intermediate mooring parts 2Ad, 2Aj and the second mooring parts 2Bc, 2Bg and can change the distance between them, and the specific configuration is not limited.

[0023] When the intermediate mooring portions 2Ad, 2Aj and the second mooring portions 2Bc, 2Bg are brought closer to each other, the end portion of the first fabric material 2A can be lowered to the position shown by the dashed line in Figure 3. On the other hand, when the intermediate mooring portions 2Ad, 2Aj and the second mooring portions 2Bc, 2Bg are moved away from each other, the end portion of the first fabric material 2A can be raised to the solid position in Figure 3.

[0024] The present embodiment has been described above with reference to specific examples. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these specific examples. Design modifications to these specific examples made by a person skilled in the art as appropriate are also included within the scope of the present disclosure as long as they comprise the features of the present disclosure. The elements of the above-described specific examples, as well as their arrangement, conditions, shape, etc., are not limited to those exemplified and can be modified as appropriate. The elements of the above-described specific examples can be combined in various ways as appropriate, as long as no technical contradictions arise.

[0025] [Note] Notes 1 to 5 below can be combined in any way as long as there is no technical contradiction.

[0026] [Appendix 1] A first fabric material 2A; a second fabric material 2B that is disposed outside the first fabric material 2A and has a larger heat storage capacity than the heat storage capacity of the first fabric material 2A; The tarp (2) is provided with distance maintaining members (2C, 2D) for maintaining a distance between the first fabric material (2A) and the second fabric material (2B) and forming an air layer.

[0027] According to Supplementary Note 1, the second fabric material 2A, which has a relatively large heat storage capacity, is placed outside the first fabric material 2A, and an air layer is formed by the distance maintaining members 2C and 2D, thereby creating a cool environment in the area under the tarp 2.

[0028] [Appendix 2] A tarp 2 according to Appendix 1, In a side view, there is a portion of the first fabric material 2A that is not covered by the second fabric material 2B.

[0029] The side view refers to the state when the tarp 2 is viewed from either side, and Figure 3 is merely one example. In a side view, the first fabric material 2A that is not covered by the second fabric material 2B is more likely to be exposed to the wind, making it easier for air to get between the first fabric material 2A and the second fabric material 2B. This promotes air circulation in the air layer, keeping the area under the tarp 2 cooler.

[0030] [Appendix 3] The tarp 2 described in Appendix 2, The first mooring portions of the first fabric material 2A that are connected to the installation surface include connected mooring portions 2Ab, 2Af, 2Ah, and 2Al that are connected to the second mooring portions 2Bb, 2Bc, 2Bd, 2Bf, 2Bg, and 2Bh that connect the second fabric material 2B to the installation surface and are also connected to the installation surface, and non-connected mooring portions 2Ac, 2Ae, 2Ai, and 2Ak that are not connected to the second mooring portions 2Bb, 2Bc, 2Bd, 2Bf, 2Bg, and 2Bh and are connected to the installation surface.

[0031] The connecting mooring portions 2Ab, 2Af, 2Ah, and 2Al are approximately the same height as the second mooring portions 2Bb, 2Bc, 2Bd, 2Bf, 2Bg, and 2Bh, while the non-connecting mooring portions 2Ac, 2Ae, 2Ai, and 2Ak can be set to a different height from the second mooring portions 2Bb, 2Bc, 2Bd, 2Bf, 2Bg, and 2Bh. Therefore, the non-connecting mooring portions 2Ac, 2Ae, 2Ai, and 2Ak can be positioned lower than the second fabric material 2B in a side view, and the portions of the first fabric material 2A that are not covered by the second fabric material 2B can be easily formed.

[0032] It should be noted that the number of connected mooring sections and non-connected mooring sections that make up the first mooring section and the number of second mooring sections that are installed as described in the above embodiment are merely examples, and can be changed as appropriate, including to other forms.

[0033] [Appendix 4] The tarp 2 described in Appendix 3, In the first fabric material 2A, intermediate mooring portions 2Ad, 2Aj are provided between adjacent first mooring portions so that the distance between the first fabric material 2A and the second fabric material 2A can be changed.

[0034] The first fabric material 2A is connected so that the distance between the intermediate mooring portions 2Ad, 2Aj and the second fabric material 2B can be changed, and therefore it is possible to change the distance between adjacent first mooring portions and the second fabric material 2B. The first mooring portions are connected to the installation surface, and the height from the installation surface to the first mooring portions does not change, so the distance between the intermediate mooring portions 2Ad, 2Aj and the second fabric material 2B changes using the first mooring portions as a reference.

[0035] For example, if the distance between the second mooring portions 2Bb, 2Bc, 2Bd, 2Bf, 2Bg, and 2Bh in the second fabric material 2B is variable, as the intermediate mooring portions 2Ad and 2Aj move closer to the second mooring portions 2Bb, 2Bc, 2Bd, 2Bf, 2Bg, and 2Bh, the intermediate mooring portions 2Ad and 2Aj will be closer to the installation surface, and as the intermediate mooring portions 2Ad and 2Aj move farther away from the second mooring portions 2Bb, 2Bc, 2Bd, 2Bf, 2Bg, and 2Bh, the intermediate mooring portions 2Ad and 2Aj will be farther away from the installation surface. When the intermediate mooring portions 2Ad and 2Aj move closer to the installation surface, the bottom end of the first fabric material 2A descends, allowing the inside of the tarp 2 to be used as a more private space and making it easier for air to enter between the first fabric material 2A and the second fabric material 2B. On the other hand, when the intermediate mooring portions 2Ad, 2Aj move away from the installation surface, the lower end of the first fabric material 2A rises, making it easier to enter and exit the tarp 2.

[0036] [Appendix 5] A tarp 2 according to any one of appendices 1 to 4, The first fabric material 2A has first top portions 2Aa, 2Ag supported by at least two support columns 2E, The second fabric material 2B has second top portions 2Ba and 2Be supported by at least two supports 2E, The distance maintaining member is a first distance maintaining member 2C that maintains a distance between the peripheral edge of the first fabric material 2A and the peripheral edge of the second fabric material 2B; and a second distance maintaining member 2D that maintains the distance between the first apexes 2Aa, 2Ag and the second apexes 2Ba, 2Be.

[0037] By providing a first distance maintaining member 2C that maintains the distance between the first cloth material 2A and the second cloth material 2B at the peripheral portion and a second distance maintaining member 2D that maintains the distance between the first cloth material 2A and the second cloth material 2B at the top portion, it is possible to reliably maintain the distance between the first cloth material 2A and the second cloth material 2B and form an air layer.
