Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fastener for a tent, and more particularly to a fastener for connecting a tent and a flysheet. [Background technology]

[0002] When setting up a tent, a fly sheet may be placed on the outside of the tent to protect the tent body from rain and wind. Fly sheets are often made of waterproof fabric, and have the following functions: ensuring a gap between the tent body and the fly sheet for ventilation, reducing the amount of rain and wind that can get into the tent, preventing deterioration and damage to the tent body, and maintaining the temperature and humidity inside the tent.

[0003] In order to attach a fly sheet to a tent, it is necessary to cover the entire tent with the fly sheet and connect the bottom ends of the fly sheet and the tent with multiple connectors. Furthermore, a conventional method has been used in which pegs to which the connectors are connected are driven into the ground to fix the fly sheet and the tent (Patent Document 1). In conventional specifications, when connecting the fly sheet and the inner tent, a method is often used in which the insertion buckle of the fly sheet is inserted into the receiving buckle of the inner tent and the strength is adjusted with an adjustment tape. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 07-217261 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The connectors that connect the fly sheet and the tent are located close to the ground because the fly sheet covers the entire inner tent and is fixed to the ground. In cases where the receiver buckle of the inner tent is located next to the pole pocket of the inner tent, adjusting the strength with the adjustment tape while the fly sheet insertion buckle is inserted into the receiver buckle of the inner tent can cause the buckle to twist, causing the tent pole of the inner tent to slip out of the pole pocket, and the pole pocket can break when the thin fabric of the pole pocket hits the ground directly.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a tent connecting buckle that connects the tent body and the fly sheet in a straight line. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The tent connection buckle of the present invention, which can achieve the above-mentioned object, is a tent connection buckle for connecting a tent and a fly sheet, and is composed of a buckle receiving portion joined to a corner of the ground portion of the tent and a buckle insertion portion joined to a corner end portion of the fly sheet, the buckle receiving portion comprises a receiving tape body joined to the ground portion and a buckle receiving main body held so as to be able to swing relative to the receiving tape body, the buckle insertion portion comprises an insertion portion tape body joined to the fly sheet and a buckle insertion portion main body held by the insertion portion tape body, the receiving tape body is formed overall in an inverted T-shape, the buckle receiving main body is held at the tip of the inverted T, the insertion portion tape body is inserted into the buckle insertion portion main body, and the buckle insertion portion main body is held by the insertion portion tape body. Effect of the Invention

[0008] By using the tent connection buckle of this invention, the four corners of the tent and fly sheet fit neatly, twisting of the buckle is eliminated, and the stability of the inserted pole is increased. The pole will not come off from the pocket even if the adjustment tape is tightened. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is an overall view showing an example of installation of a tent and a fly sheet using the tent connecting buckle of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a front view of a tent connection buckle in a tent and a fly sheet using the tent connection buckle of the present invention. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a side view of a tent connection buckle in a tent and a fly sheet using the tent connection buckle of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] 1 is an overall view showing an example of setting up a tent 10 and a fly sheet 20 using the tent connecting buckle 1 of the present invention. The fly sheet 20 covers the entire set-up tent 10, and the tent connecting buckles 1 are arranged at the lower ends of the four corners of the tent 10 and the fly sheet 20.

[0011] Fig. 2 is a front view of the tent connection buckle 1 of the present invention in a tent 10 and a fly sheet 20. Fig. 3 is a side view of the tent connection buckle 1 of the present invention in a tent 10 and a fly sheet 20. The tent connection buckle 1 of the present invention is composed of a buckle receiving part 2 joined to a corner part 12 of the ground part 11 of the tent 10, and a buckle insertion part 3 joined to a corner end part 21 of the fly sheet 20.

[0012] The buckle receiving part 2 further comprises a receiving part tape body 2a joined to the ground part 11, and a buckle receiving part main body part 2b held swingably relative to the receiving part tape body 2a. A pole pocket (not shown) for holding a tent pole 13 is formed inside the corner part 12 of the ground part 11, and a side end part 2c of the receiving part tape body 2a is joined at a position that houses the pole pocket. The receiving part tape body 2a is formed into an inverted T-shape overall when viewed from the front, and the buckle receiving part main body part 2b is held at the tip of the inverted T-shape.

[0013] The receiving tape body 2a is provided with a ring-shaped portion 2d, through which the lower end shaft portion 2e of the buckle receiving body portion 2b is inserted. The ring-shaped portion 2d supports the lower end shaft portion 2e, allowing the buckle receiving body portion 2b to swing. A peg loop 30 is inserted into the ring-shaped portion 2d. The tent 10 and the fly sheet 20 are stabilized by inserting a peg 40 into the peg loop 30 and fixing the peg 40 to the ground.

[0014] The buckle insertion portion 3 further comprises an insertion portion tape body 3a joined to the fly sheet 20, and a buckle insertion portion main body 3b held by the insertion portion tape body 3a. The fly sheet 20 has a ridge portion 22 formed along the tent pole 13, and the insertion portion tape body 3a is joined along the inside of the ridge portion 22 of the fly sheet 20, with the buckle insertion portion main body 3b held by the insertion portion tape body 3a.

[0015] The insertion portion tape body 3a is inserted into the buckle insertion portion main body 3b and then folded back to connect to the buckle insertion portion main body 3b. By adjusting the free end 3c of the insertion portion tape body 3a, the insertion position of the buckle insertion portion main body 3b can be set to the desired position.

[0016] When the buckle insertion portion main body 3b is inserted into the buckle receiving portion main body 2b, the buckle insertion portion main body 3b and the buckle receiving portion main body 2b engage with each other to connect the tent 10 and the fly sheet 20. The engagement is released by operating the buckle insertion portion main body 3b, so that the buckle insertion portion main body 3b and the buckle receiving portion main body 2b can be easily attached and detached from each other.

[0017] When the buckle insertion portion main body 3b and the buckle receiving portion main body 2b are engaged, the side end 2c of the receiving portion tape body 2a is joined at a position that contains the pole pocket, the receiving portion tape body 2a is formed into an inverted T-shape overall when viewed from the front, and the buckle receiving portion main body 2b is held at the tip of the inverted T, a ridge portion 22 is formed in the fly sheet 20 along the tent pole 13, the insertion portion tape body 3a is joined along the inside of the ridge portion 22 of the fly sheet 20, the insertion portion tape body 3a is inserted into the buckle insertion portion main body 3b, and the buckle insertion portion main body 3b is held by the insertion portion tape body 3a, so that the buckle receiving portion 2 and the buckle insertion portion 3 are arranged in a straight line along the ridge portion 22 of the tent pole 13 and the fly sheet 20 inside the tent 10 as shown in Figure 2. Since the tent connection buckle 1 of the present invention is arranged linearly along the ridge portion 22 of the tent pole 13 and the fly sheet 20 inside the tent 10, the tent pole 13 will not shift even if the free end 3c is strongly adjusted, and damage to various parts around the tent pole 13 is avoided.
