Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of outdoor activity tents, and specifically relates to a semi-conic tent and an extension tent.BACKGROUND

[0002] People living standard unceasing enhancement, the people are also more intense to have outdoor activities. People enjoys outdoor activities during weekends, holidays or other leisure time. Some will go out with families, some will with their lovers, friends, or even alone. Tents is one of the most important equipment for people's outdoor activities, and tent provides people with a clean, safe and comfortable space.

[0003] Generally, a traditional bone style arch structure tent consists of at least two bone poles and one outer tent with guy ropes and tent stakes, some also with supplemental supporting poles. When setting up the traditional bone style arch structure tent, users first need to set up the bone poles to form a supporting structure of the tent. Some bone poles are overlap, and some are parallel. The process is not only complicated but also time-consuming. It is especially too complicated for a green bird to set up well such a bone style arch structure tent. The prior Chinese Utility Model Patent with publication number CN205116903U discloses an outdoor tent, which includes one outer tent, a central supporting frame comprising two arch poles, and a ring shape supporting frame which further consists of a first supporting pod, a second supporting pod, a third supporting pod and a fourth supporting pod. The two arch poles are overlapped when set up; the ring shape supporting frame is arranged above the central supporting frame; the first supporting pod is arranged on front side of a first outer tent zone; the second supporting pod is arranged on rear side of the first outer tent zone; the third supporting pod is arranged on left side of the first outer tent zone; and the fourth supporting pod is arranged on right side of the first outer tent zone. It is obvious that such a outdoor tent is not only of complicated structure, but also of high production cost. Besides, users also needs to adjust the tent after they set up the shape, and then they can fix the tent to the ground. In the whole process, it brings much troubles for user when setting up such kind of outdoor tents.SUMMARY

[0004] The present disclosure, in order to overcome at least one of the defects described in the above mentioned prior art, provides a semi-conic tent and an extension tent, which is of simple structure, and easy for users to set up, and also includes an inner storage pocket for shoes and sockets to prevent from getting wet from rains or snows.

[0005] In order to realize the above objects, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solution: a semi-conic tent comprises: a support frame and a outer tent, wherein the support frame is provided at least one; the support frame further comprises a supporting pole, a first fixing piece, a second fixing piece and a connecting structure; the support pole is in square shape or curved shape, both ends of the support pole are respectively fixed on ground through the first fixing pieces; one side of the first outer tent is connected with the support pole, and other side is fixed on ground through the second fixing piece; the first outer tent and the support frame together encloses a conical space; one part of the connecting structure is arranged on the support pole, and other part is delectably fixed on the ground; the connecting structure is arranged opposite to the first outer tent.

[0006] An extension tent, comprising at least two semi-conic tents, wherein two adjacent semi-conic tents are connected with poles of support frames.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the present disclosure after adopting the above technical solutions are:

[0008] 1. Simple structure, easy to set up. The semi-conic tent, in simplest structure, only includes one support pole to be the support frame, and users only need to set up the support pole to the ground with tents stakes. In this way, users can set up a tent easily in a quick time without using other assemblies like bone poles, support pods, tent pegs, guy ropes and so on.

[0009] 2. When users wants to enlarge a tent space or enhance anti-wind and anti-rain capability of the tent, they just need more support frames and tent stakes. With two or more semi-conic tents connected with poles of support frames, an extension tent will be set up to enclose a larger space, and when it is windy or rainy, users just use two or more supporting poles without any complex overlapped or parallel structure, then to form the support frame to enhance anti-wind and anti-rain capability of the tent. Compared to the existing outdoor tent, the present extension tent requires fewer supporting poles and tent stakes.

[0010] 3. The present semi-conic tent and an extension tent also has a storage pocket inside, users can put their shoes or sockets inside when needed, which prevent shoes or sockets from getting wet in rainy or snowy weather.

[0011] 4. The semi-conic tent is in shape of a half cone, which allows air stream contact the outer tent in all directions, and the camber surface of the first outer tent reduce obstruction of air stream while the air stream produce a pressure to press the first outer tent, in result, the semi-conic shape design further enhance anti-wind and anti-rain, as well as anti-snow capability of the tent.

[0012] 5. An extension tent set up by connecting two semi-conic tents to enclose a larger space, and two semi-conic tents connects with at least one supporting pole, and with two or more supporting poles to form the support frame in windy or rainy weather so as to enhance the tent.

[0013] 6. By using a semi-conic tent to enlarge a space for any existing outdoor tents, users just need to use the fixing structure which includes tie band, zip components and other removable fixing structure, and second fixing piece such as tent pegs or stakes to connect the semi-conic tent with the existing outdoor tents to set up a new tent with larger activity space. It saves time and easily to set up. Moreover, the first outer tent of the semi-conic tent is removable to be a canopy.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
