One-Touch Tent Flysheet With Tunnel Pole
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
One-touch tents face challenges with conventional flysheets that require complex installation and are not portable, as they alter the tent's shape and require ground fixation, limiting their use to indoor settings.
Innovation Solution
A one-touch tent flysheet with a tunnel-type pole and fastening members allows for easy installation and portability by maintaining the tent's shape without ground fixation, using a waterproof cloth and flexible poles connected by wires and auxiliary poles to ensure stability and ease of use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional flysheet is installed on a one-touch tent, then waterproof and windproof functions are provided, but the installation process is complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The flysheet is divided into a waterproof cloth portion and a separate support pole structure. The support pole is segmented into multiple sections that can be easily assembled and disassembled, allowing quick installation and removal without complex ground fixation procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The support pole is designed to be flexible and adaptable, allowing it to be quickly assembled and configured without rigid ground fixation. The dynamic structure enables rapid deployment and removal while maintaining the flysheet's protective function.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a conventional flysheet with ground fixation is used, then stability is improved, but portability and ease of folding are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The flysheet system is segmented into a removable support pole structure that can be easily assembled and disassembled. This segmentation allows the flysheet to be quickly set up and packed without complex ground fixation, improving both portability and ease of operation while maintaining stability during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The support pole structure is designed to be dynamically adjustable and easily deployable. It provides sufficient stability when installed but can be quickly removed and packed, enabling the flysheet to transition between stable operational state and portable stored state without permanent ground fixation.
3Reliability
If the flysheet is tightly installed on the one-touch tent, then waterproof protection is improved, but the tent shape is distorted due to pole bending
Solution Approach 1:
The support pole structure is merged with the flysheet as an integrated assembly. The pole is embedded within or attached to the flysheet, allowing the entire structure to be installed and removed as one unit. This merging ensures that the flysheet provides waterproof protection without requiring separate ground fixation that could distort the tent shape.
Solution Approach 2:
The support pole structure is designed to be flexible yet supportive, providing the necessary tension for waterproof protection while adapting to the tent's shape without causing distortion. The dynamic design allows the pole to flex slightly to accommodate the tent's form while maintaining the flysheet's protective function.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution reduces installation time, maintains the tent's shape, and provides waterproof and warmth-keeping functions while being easily foldable and portable, enhancing usability and convenience for one-touch tents.
Implementation Method 1
one-touch tents, which are currently widely used, are tents that are folded in a circle when folded and are automatically unfolded due to an elastic force of a flexible pole when thrown out of the case
Implementation Method 2
tents are made using a waterproof cloth or the like to block wind and rain from the outside
Implementation Method 3
a tunnel-type pole which is fixed to the waterproof cloth to allow the waterproof cloth to stand in the form of a tunnel when the flysheet is installed

AI summary
Disclosed is a one-touch tent flysheet that may be installed at an upper portion of a tent with a weak support force at the upper portion, such as a one-touch tent. According to the present invention, a one-touch tent flysheet, of which an edge portion is fixed to the ground in a state in which the one-touch tent flysheet covers a tent to protect the tent from an external environment, includes a waterproof cloth installed to cover the tent, a tunnel-type pole which is fixed to the waterproof cloth to allow the waterproof cloth to stand in the form of a tunnel when the flysheet is installed and which is formed in a ring shape and bent so that a pair of first points facing each other press against the ground and a pair of second points facing each other, which are at a right angle from the first points, are located at the highest height level, and a fastening member configured to connect and fix portions of the tent and the flysheet to allow the flysheet to be attached to or detached from the tent.
