Description

Rooftop tent

[0001] The present invention relates to a rooftop tent, and more particularly, to a rooftop tent having an extension plate for expanding the internal space.

[0002] Rooftop tents, which attach to the roof of a car or camper van, are a popular camping gear for enhancing outdoor activities and camping experiences. Rooftop tents utilize convenient opening and closing mechanisms to quickly set up a camping space, while also being able to be quickly taken down for easy transport during your trip.

[0003] Meanwhile, rooftop tents are required to have as much space as possible in open mode, while reducing the overall size to make them easy to install on any vehicle in closed mode.

[0004] At least one problem that the present invention seeks to solve is to provide a rooftop tent that has a spacious interior space in the open mode while having a small overall size in the closed mode.

[0005] Another problem that the present invention seeks to solve is to provide a rooftop tent that is capable of free-standing in an open mode.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-described purpose, a rooftop tent according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a base, a cover coupled to one end of the base so as to be rotatable upward, and an extension plate coupled to an upper surface of the base so as to be rotatable outward.

[0007] The above cover rotates upward about one end of the base to form an internal space.

[0008] A rotating member is installed on the upper surface of the base to rotatably support the extension plate, and at least a portion of the extension plate is arranged on the upper surface of the base by rotating about the rotating member as an axis.

[0009] It further includes a support member connecting corresponding sides of the base and the cover, wherein the support member extends when the cover rotates upward to support the cover with respect to the base.

[0010] One end of the above support member is connected to one side of the base, and the other end of the above support member is connected to one side of the cover.

[0011] At the other end of the above base, a locking member is installed that is lockably connected to the corresponding other end of the cover.

[0012] The above base is installed in a vehicle.

[0013] The base and the cover are connected to corresponding sides of each other, and further include a support member that supports the cover relative to the base when the cover rotates upward, and one end of the support member is connected to a rail member installed on one side of the base and slides along the rail member.

[0014] In order to secure a tent space in an unfolded state of the rooftop tent, a canopy is further included that is connected to all of the cover, the base, and the extension plate, and in an unfolded state, an edge of the upper surface of the canopy that connects an end of the cover and an end of the extension plate includes at least one protrusion, and the protrusion is formed outside an end of the base.

[0015] The rooftop tent of the present invention secures a wide internal space while being compact when folded, so that it can be attached to vehicles of various sizes, thereby expanding the range of applications for installing rooftop tents, and the overall vehicle design is not damaged even when the rooftop tent is installed.

[0016] The rooftop tent of the present invention can be expanded and used without a separately provided additional support structure (typically a ladder), thereby increasing convenience and reducing installation restrictions on installation methods or directions, thereby increasing freedom of installation.

[0017] The rooftop tent of the present invention can reduce its overall weight by reducing its size and using lighter materials.

[0043] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0044]

[0045] Fig. 1 is a top perspective view of a rooftop tent (100) in an open mode according to one embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a side view of a rooftop tent (100) in an open mode according to one embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 3 is a side view of a rooftop tent (100) in a closed mode according to one embodiment of the present invention. In addition, Fig. 4 is a bottom perspective view of a rooftop tent (100) in an open mode according to one embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 5 is an enlarged view of a portion 'A' of Fig. 4.

[0046] Hereinafter, a rooftop tent (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

[0047]

[0048] A rooftop tent (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a base (110), a cover (120), and an extension plate (130), as shown in FIG. 1.

[0049] The base (110) forms the bottom of the rooftop tent (100). The base (110) is installed at a predetermined installation location of the vehicle, for example, on the top of the vehicle.

[0050] The extension plate (130), referring together with FIG. 2, is coupled to the upper surface of the base (110) so as to be rotatable in an outward direction. A first rotational member (111) is installed on the upper surface of the base (110) to support the extension plate (130) so as to be rotatable. The extension plate (130) can be positioned on the upper surface of the base (110) or on the outside of the base (110) by rotating about the first rotational member (111).

[0051] The cover (120) can rotate upward about one end of the base (110). As the cover (120) rotates upward about one end of the base (110), an internal space is formed between the upper surface of the base (110) and the lower surface of the cover (120). A second rotational member (117) that provides a rotational structure with the cover (120) is installed at one end of the base (110).

[0052]

[0053] The rooftop tent (100) of the present invention has a closed mode and an open mode. The open mode of the rooftop tent (100) of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4. Furthermore, the open mode of the rooftop tent (100) of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, which will be described later. The closed mode of the rooftop tent (100) of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 3.

[0054] In closed mode, the extension plate (130) is placed on the upper surface of the base (110). With the extension plate (130) placed on the upper surface of the base (110), the cover (120) rotates downward toward the upper portion of the base (110), thereby closing the internal space between the cover (120) and the base (110).

[0055] The cover (120) positioned over the base (110) in closed mode may have an asymmetrical structure that rises in one direction, as shown in FIG. 3. This is excellent in terms of design, and can provide the user with an improved sense of expansion by further increasing the vertical distance secured from the base (110) to the cover (120) in open mode.

[0056]

[0057] In open mode, the cover (120) rotates upward about one end of the base (110) to expand the internal space between the base (110) and the cover (120). After the cover (120) rotates upward about one end of the base (110), the extension plate (130) rotates about the first rotational member (111) to be positioned on the outside of the base (110). As the extension plate (130) is positioned on the outside of the base (110) in open mode, the internal space usable by the user is secured. In this case, at least a portion of the extension plate (130) is positioned on the upper surface of the base (110). Therefore, the rooftop tent (100) of the present invention can secure as much free space as possible in open mode, while reducing the overall size so that it can be easily installed in any vehicle in closed mode. In addition, the first pivot member (111) not only allows the extension plate (130) to rotate relative to the base (110), but also functions as a self-supporting system that allows the extension plate (130) to be supported on its own relative to the base (110). In the present specification, self-supporting means that the extension plate is maintained in an unfolded state without a separate supporting component, such as a ladder, thereby securing space for placing external elements other than the rooftop tent under the extension plate.

[0058]

[0059] The rooftop tent (100) of the present invention includes a support member (140). Referring to FIG. 4, the support member (140) connects corresponding sides of the base (110) and the cover (120).

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a support member (140) may be applied as a hydraulic support rod that can be extended when the cover (120) rotates upward. The support member (140) supports the cover (120) when the cover (120) rotates upward.

[0061] One end of the support member (140) is fixedly connected to one side (101) of the base (110), and the other end of the support member (140) is fixedly connected to one side of the cover (120). A fixing member (141) may be provided at one end of the support member (140). The fixing member (141) is connected to the lower end of one side (101) of the base (110).

[0062] As illustrated in FIG. 5, the fixing member (141) is provided with at least one joining hole (143) for screw connection with one side (101) of the base (110). One end of the supporting member (140) is configured to be freely rotatable according to the rotation of the cover (120) and the elongation of the supporting member (140). That is, one end of the supporting member (140) is configured to be rotatable with the fixing member (141). The other end of the supporting member (140), which is connected to one side of the cover (120), is also configured to be freely rotatable according to the rotation of the cover (120) and the elongation of the supporting member (140).

[0063] A locking member (115) is installed at the other end of the base (110) to be locked with the corresponding other end of the cover (120). The locking member (115) secures the other end of the base (110) and the other end of the cover (120), which are in close contact with each other in the closed mode.

[0065] FIG. 6 is a side view of a rooftop tent (200) in an open mode according to another embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a lower perspective view of a rooftop tent (200) in an open mode according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of part 'B' of FIG. 7.

[0066] FIGS. 9 and 10 are drawings showing an upper rail (2011) and a sliding member (241) sliding on the upper rail (2011) according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 11 and 12 are drawings showing an electromagnet (207) installed in the upper rail (2011) and a sliding member (241) fixed by the electromagnet (207) according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0067]

[0068] Hereinafter, a rooftop tent (200) according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 12.

[0069] A rooftop tent (200) according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a base (210), a cover (220), an extension plate (230), and a support member (240), like the rooftop tent (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. The base (210), the cover (220), and the extension plate (230) according to another embodiment of the present invention are substantially the same as the base (110), the cover (120), and the extension plate (130) described above, and therefore, a description thereof will be omitted.

[0070] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a rail member (2011, 2013) is installed on one side (201) of a base (210), as shown in FIG. 6. One end of a support member (240) is slidably connected to the rail member (2011, 2013) installed on one side (201) of the base (210).

[0071] The rail member (2011, 2013) includes an upper rail (2011) and a lower rail (2013). A sliding member (241, see Fig. 8) is installed between the upper rail (2011) and the lower rail (2013). The sliding member (241) is installed so as to be able to slide along the length direction of one side (201) of the base (210) between the upper rail (2011) and the lower rail (2013).

[0072] One end of the support member (240) is connected to the sliding member (241), as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8. For convenience of illustration, the lower rail (2013) is omitted in FIGS. 7 and 8. One end of the support member (240) is rotatably connected to the sliding member (241). By the upward rotation of the cover (220), one end of the support member (240), more precisely, the sliding member (241), slides within the rail member (2011, 2013) and its position changes. One end of the support member (240) naturally changes its position along one side (201) of the base (210) by the rotation of the cover (220). Therefore, the support member (240) of the rooftop tent (200) has the characteristic that, unlike the extensible support member (140) of the rooftop tent (100) described above, a so-called rod-shaped support member (240) that does not have an elongated length can be applied.

[0073]

[0074] At least one magnetic body (203, 205) having magnetism may be installed at a predetermined position inside the rail member (2011, 2013), as shown in FIG. 9. The magnetic body (203, 205) may be installed, for example, inside the upper rail (2011).

[0075] The magnetic body (203, 205) of the upper rail (2011) may include a first magnetic body (203) installed at a point where one end of the support member (240) is located when the upward rotation of the cover (220) is completed in the open mode, and a second magnetic body (205) installed at a point where one end of the support member (240) is located when the downward rotation of the cover (220) is completed in the closed mode.

[0076] Inside the sliding member (241), as shown in FIG. 10, a third magnetic body (243) that exerts an attractive force on the magnetic bodies (203, 205) installed on the upper rail (2011) is further installed. The third magnetic body (243) of the sliding member (241) can be fixed at a predetermined position of the rail member (2011, 2013) through the magnetic force between the magnetic bodies (203, 205) of the upper rail (2011), i.e., through the attractive force.

[0077] Accordingly, one end of the support member (240) can slide within the rail member (2011, 2013) and be fixed at a predetermined position of the rail member (2011, 2013) by magnetic force with the magnetic body (203, 205) installed on the upper rail (2011).

[0078]

[0079] The magnetic body (203, 205) installed in the upper rail (2011) may be an electromagnet (207) whose internal magnetic flow changes as voltage is applied to the coil (2073), as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12.

[0080] The electromagnet (207) may include a pair of magnetic connecting members (2075), a pair of permanent magnets (2071, 2072), and a coil (2073) installed on the outer surface of each magnetic connecting member (2075). The pair of permanent magnets includes a first permanent magnet (2071) and a second permanent magnet (2072), respectively. The first permanent magnet (2071) and the second permanent magnet (2072) have their poles facing in opposite directions. Therefore, before voltage is applied to the coil (2073), as illustrated in FIG. 11, the first permanent magnet (2071) and the second permanent magnet (2072) have a predetermined internal magnetism through the pair of magnetic connecting members (2075).

[0081] Here, when voltage is applied to the coil (2073), the internal magnetic flow in the electromagnet (207) is changed, as illustrated in Fig. 12. When the sliding member (241) is positioned at the bottom of the electromagnet (207) where the internal magnetic flow is changed, i.e., at the bottom of the upper rail (2011), the sliding member (241) is fixed to the bottom of the electromagnet (207) by its magnetic force.

[0082]

[0083] At the other end of the base (210), a locking member (215) is installed as described above. A contact sensor (not shown) capable of recognizing a state in which the other end of the base (210) and the other end of the cover (220) are in contact with each other is installed at the locking member (215).

[0084] Any sensor that can recognize a state in which the other end of the base (210) and the other end of the cover (220) are in contact with each other may be applied as the contact sensor. For example, the contact sensor may include a light-emitting portion (not shown) that emits infrared rays and a light-receiving portion (not shown) that receives the emitted infrared rays. Here, the light-emitting portion is installed on the base (210) side of the locking member (215), and the light-receiving portion is installed on the cover (220) side of the locking member (215), so that the contact sensor can recognize the open mode and / or the closed mode of the present invention.

[0085] When the so-called closed mode, in which the other end of the base (210) and the other end of the cover (220) are in contact with each other, is recognized by the contact sensor, voltage can be supplied to each of the coils (2073) of the electromagnet (207). Accordingly, one end of the support member (240) is fixed by magnetic force in the closed mode, and thus the movement of the rail members (2011, 2013) can be restricted at a predetermined position.

[0086] Since one end of the support member (240) is restricted from moving at a predetermined position in the closed mode, it is possible to prevent the locking member (215) from being easily moved to the open mode even if the locking engagement is unintentionally released.

[0087] In addition, even when the open mode is recognized after a certain period of time has passed since the closed mode is recognized by the contact sensor, voltage is supplied to each of the coils (2073) of the electromagnet (207), so that the movement of the support member (240) in the open mode is restricted, thereby preventing unintended downward rotation of the cover (220).

[0088] Meanwhile, a rooftop tent (200) according to another embodiment of the present invention may further include a separate power supply (not shown) that supplies power to the contact sensor and the electromagnet (207), and a control device (not shown) that controls the contact sensor, the electromagnet, and the power supply.

[0089]

[0090] Below, the features of the rooftop tent (100, 200) according to the present invention are briefly summarized.

[0091] A rooftop tent (100, 200) according to the present invention has an extension plate (130, 230) configured to overlap the upper surface of the base (110, 210) in the closed mode and to be spaced apart from the upper surface in the open mode.

[0092] In the open mode of the rooftop tent (100, 200), at least a portion of this extension (130, 230) is configured to overlap at least a portion of the upper surface of the base (110, 210).

[0093] More specifically, a portion of the extension plate (130, 230) to which a first pivot member (111, 211) is attached, which allows the extension plate (130, 230) to pivot from the upper surface of the base (110, 210), is configured to overlap the upper surface of the base (110, 210) in the open mode. The base (110, 210) and the extension plate (130, 230) are connected to each other by the first pivot members (111, 211) which are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the extension plate (130, 230).

[0094] A rooftop tent (100, 200) has a base (110, 210) that is attached to a vehicle (C, see FIGS. 13 to 15). The base (110, 210) will generally be composed of a combination of a panel having a rectangular shape and a frame configured to surround the periphery of the panel, but it is sufficient that the base (110, 210) can be attached to the vehicle (C) and can support a user in the open mode of the rooftop tent (100, 200), and there are no limitations on the specific material and shape thereof. The rooftop tent (100, 200) further includes a cover (120, 220) that is hinge-connected to the base (110, 210) and configured to be moved by an unfolding mechanism of the rooftop tent (100, 200). The cover (120, 220) is fixed at a predetermined angle to the base (110, 210) by means of support members (140, 240) arranged parallel to both sides of the base (110, 210) and / or the cover (120, 220), so that the rooftop tent (100, 200) can be maintained in an open state.

[0095]

[0096] The extension plate (130, 230) is not externally exposed in the closed mode of the rooftop tent (100, 200), but is positioned to overlap parallel to the upper surface of the base (110, 210), and is fixed to overlap at least part of the upper surface of the base (110, 210) in the open mode.

[0097] The extension plate (130, 230) is pivoted and spaced from the top surface of the base (110, 210) by a pair of first pivot members (111, 211) arranged parallel to the top surface of the base (110, 210) in a manner similar to how the cover (120, 220) can be pivoted and spaced from the base (110, 210) when unfolding the rooftop tent (100, 200).

[0098] As a result, when the rooftop tent (100, 200) is unfolded, the user's internal usable space is expanded by the extension plate (130, 230). When the extension plate (130, 230) is unfolded from the upper surface of the base (110, 210), at least a portion of the extension plate (130, 230) is disposed on the upper surface of the base (110, 210).

[0099] Specifically, the entire pair of first rotational members (111, 211) is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the base (110, 210), so that the extension plate (130, 230) pivoting based on the pair of first rotational members (111, 211) is also arranged on the upper surface of the base (110, 210) at a portion connected to the pair of first rotational members (111, 211).

[0100] Due to the extension plate (130, 230) of the rooftop tent (100, 200), the rooftop tent (100, 200) support area required in the closed mode, i.e., the rooftop tent (100, 200) support area utilized in the open mode is expanded compared to the base (110, 210) flat surface area, so that the user can secure a more spacious inner tent space when using the rooftop tent (100, 200) of the present invention.

[0101] In addition, due to the arrangement structure between the above-described extension plate (130, 230) and the base (110, 210), that is, the arrangement structure in which the extension plate (130, 230) is not arranged at substantially the same height level as the base (110, 210) in the open mode of the rooftop tent (100, 200), but is arranged so that the extension plate (130, 230) overlaps the upper surface of the base (110, 210), and the self-supporting system of the first rotating member (111, 211) arranged on both sides of the extension plate (130, 230), the rooftop tent (100, 200) of the present invention can stably expand the space without necessarily including a separate support tool (typically a ladder).

[0102] Since the extension plate (130, 230) is sufficiently supported by the base (110, 210) due to the arrangement structure and self-supporting system, it can perform the original function of the rooftop tent (100, 200) with an expansion function without including a separate support tool. As a result, the rooftop tent (100, 200) of the present invention can be installed in various positions and / or spaces for various vehicles (C), thereby increasing the user's freedom when installing the rooftop tent (100, 200).

[0103] According to the rooftop tent (100, 200) of the present invention described above, since it can be attached to vehicles of various sizes while securing a wide internal space and being compact when folded, the range of installation and utilization of the rooftop tent (100, 200) can be expanded, and even if the rooftop tent (100, 200) is mounted, the overall vehicle design is not damaged, and since the rooftop tent (100, 200) can be expanded and used without a separately provided additional support structure (typically a ladder), convenience is increased, and installation restrictions on installation methods or installation directions are reduced, thereby increasing the degree of freedom of installation, and the rooftop tent (100, 200) of the present invention can reduce the overall weight by reducing the size and making the material lightweight.

Although not specifically illustrated, it is preferable that the fabric doors inside the tent, through which a user can enter and exit the rooftop tent (100, 200) of Figs. 13 and 14, are formed on both sides of the base (110, 210), i.e., on both sides of the vehicle (C1), but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0106] Since the rooftop tent (100, 200) of the present invention is configured so that the extension plate (130, 230) is free-standing without being supported by a separate structure, there is no need to secure the lower or lower expansion space as a spare space for arranging a ladder or the like when the extension plate (130, 230) is unfolded. As a result, when the rooftop tent (100, 200) is installed in a vehicle (C1) whose trunk door opens upwards as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, unlike the typical case where the extension plate (130, 230) is extended toward the trunk of the vehicle (C1) or in the lateral direction of the vehicle (C1), the extension plate (130, 230) can be installed so as to be extended toward the driver's seat.

[0107]

[0108] Fig. 15 illustrates a rooftop tent (100, 200) according to one embodiment of the present invention mounted on another SUV vehicle (C2) and with the rooftop tent (100, 200) unfolded. The SUV illustrated in Fig. 15 is a vehicle (C2) whose trunk door opens sideways, and the image shows that the extension plate (130, 230) of the rooftop tent (100, 200) is installed to extend toward the trunk of the vehicle (C2). In this case, the extension plate (130, 230) of the rooftop tent (100, 200) can be installed to extend toward the driver's seat of the vehicle (C), and the user can set the installation direction of the rooftop tent (100, 200) in various ways.

[0109]

[0110] FIG. 16 is a drawing showing a skin installed on a rooftop tent (100, 200) according to the present invention, and FIG. 17 is a drawing showing a use of a rooftop tent (100, 200) according to the present invention.

[0111] The base (110, 210), the extension plate (130, 230), and the cover (120, 220) according to the present invention form the frame of a rooftop tent (100, 200). As illustrated in Fig. 16, the rooftop tent (100, 200) according to the present invention, specifically, the base (110, 210), the extension plate (130, 230), and the cover (120, 220) according to the present invention, is provided with a skin (S) forming the outer surface of the tent. Here, the skin (s) collectively refers to a canopy that partitions the actual internal space and a fly (e.g., a rain fly) that secures the user space from the external environment. As illustrated in FIG. 16, in order to secure a tent space in the unfolded state of the rooftop tent, a canopy is included that is connected to all of the cover, the base, and the extension plate, and in the unfolded state, an edge connecting the end of the cover and the end of the extension plate among the upper surfaces of the canopy includes at least one protrusion, and the protrusion is formed on the outside of the end of the base. Here, the reason why it is expressed as a protrusion is that in the unfolded structure of a conventional tent, when connecting the end edge of the cover and the edge of the base or the extension plate, the fabric is formed in a straight line. However, in the present invention, the side of the fabric is not formed in a straight line but includes a protrusion, thereby not only expanding the internal space for user activities, but also allowing the fabric to maintain tension between the extension plate and the cover and spread stably.

[0112] The ends of the above corners are connected to the ends of the fly among the skins, thereby securing tension while the fly is supported by a separate tension pole installed on the base, thereby forming an internal space. In Fig. 16, the ends of the protruding corners are shown as being connected to the ends of the fly and the tension pole by fabric straps, but the specific connection method is not limited. In addition, the fabric straps may be formed integrally with the fly or the fabric, or may be formed to be detachable.

[0113] As shown in Fig. 17, a mattress (10) and a high-strength sponge (20) may be installed on the base (110, 210) and the extension plate (130, 230). Specifically, a mattress (10) may be installed on the base (110, 210), and a high-strength sponge (20) may be installed on the extension plate (130, 230). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a mattress (10) may be installed on both the base (110, 210) and the extension plate (130, 230), or a high-strength sponge (20) may be installed on both. Hereinafter, it will be described that a mattress (10) is installed on the base (110, 210), and a high-strength sponge (20) is installed on the extension plate (130, 230).

[0114] Depending on the embodiment, a silver foil foam (11) may be further installed between the base (110, 210) and the mattress (10) to prevent condensation of the mattress (10). A pp board (21) may be further installed between the expansion plate (130, 230) and the high-strength sponge (20). The high-strength sponge (20) and the pp board (21) are installed on the upper portion of the expansion plate (130, 230) to expand the user's usable space, while also acting as a reinforcing plate to reinforce the empty space of the expansion plate (130, 230).
