The present disclosure relates to tents and mosquito nets, and pertains to a technology field to improve a storage package structure such that assembling and disassembling of tents may be made easier than the related art, not only the risk of loss of a storage package may be minimized, but also the storage package may be utilized as an additional functional purpose of tents, thereby enhancing the convenience.
In addition, the present disclosure pertains to a technology field to improve folding structure of tents such that disassembling of the tent may be quickly and easily made, and at the same time, tents may be quickly and easily stored in the corresponding storage package.
In addition, the present disclosure pertains to a technical field to improve the support structure of tents such that the ease of assembling and disassembling of tents may be enhanced while a sufficient support force may be secured, thereby minimizing the possibility of unnecessary shape deformation due to external forces.
Recently, interest in camping has been increasing, and improvements to functions of tents, which is one of the most basic camping equipment, has been actively made.
General tents are largely divided into prefabricated tents and integrated tents according to assembling and disassembling methods.
The prefabricated tent is the most common type of tent, in which tent cloth and poles, which are the basic elements constituting the tent, are provided separately, when prefabricated, the poles are joined to the tent cloth to form the shape of the tent, when disassembled, the poles are separated from the tent cloth and then the tent cloth is folded and stored together with the poles.
The prefabricated tent has the advantage of having a sturdy structure compared to the integrated tent to be described below, because the prefabricated tent is implemented by joining several poles to form a tent frame. However, the prefabricated tent has the disadvantage of not being easy to assemble and disassemble because a prefabrication/separation process between the poles and a prefabrication/separation process between the poles and the tent cloth are cumbersome and difficult.
Also, because the poles are separated from the tent cloth, the prefabricated tent has the disadvantage of being more highly likely to be lost and damaged during a storage and transportation process.
In addition, the prefabricated tent is accommodated in a separate storage package when stored after assembling. In the related art, the storage package was used only for tent storage and was not used for additional functions related to tent use.
Therefore, because the storage package must always be stored separately when using the tent, there is a high possibility of loss of the storage package.
The integrated tent has a support frame, which corresponds to the poles of the prefabricated tent, integrated with the tent cloth. The support frame itself is easily bent by external force, but is easily restored to its shape by elastic force, and thus, the integrated tent has the advantage that a tent assembling and disassembling process may be done quickly and easily with the so-called ‘one-touch method’.
On the other hand, because the support frame of the integrated tent bends and restores too easily, the integrated tent does not have a large support force, and thus, there are problems that the entire tent is easily shaken by the wind, which makes it difficult to apply to large tents and is applied to a small structure.
In addition to these points, the prefabricated tent and the integrated tent of the related art commonly used for purposes such as reducing contamination of shoes or feet when entering or leaving the tent by spreading a separate mat around the tent, especially in front of the entrance. However, because the mats of the related art need to be provided separately from the tent, it is cumbersome to be provided and use.
In addition, because the mat needs be provided separately, there is a high risk of loss of the mat, and because the mat is used simply by spreading out on the ground, there are inconveniences such as the mat being moved or folded when a user repeatedly steps on the mat.
Also, because the mats of the related art do not perform any functions other than the basic function of the mat, the motivation for separate provision is weak, which may ultimately cause a decrease in convenience due to non-provision.
The present disclosure is designed to simultaneously solve the individual problems and the common problems of tents of the related art, and therefore the present disclosure is to improve a storage package structure such that assembling and disassembling of a tent may be made easier and faster than the related art, not only the risk of loss of a storage package may be reduced, but also the storage package may be utilized as a floor mat around the tent, thereby simultaneously solving problems caused by separate provision.
In addition, in this regard, the present disclosure is to improve a folding structure of the tent such that disassembling of the tent may be quickly made, and the tent may be quickly and easily stored in the improved storage package, thereby enhancing the convenience of use.
In addition, the present disclosure is to improve a support structure of the tent such that assembling and disassembling of the tent may be easily and quickly made while a sufficient support force may be secured and maintained, thereby simultaneously improving the convenience and stability.

Hereinafter, more detailed configurations and operations of the present disclosure will be described with reference to embodiments illustrated in the drawings.
As shown in [
First, the tent main body 100 serves to provide an indoor space for a user, which is the substantial function of a tent, and includes tent cloth of a waterproof material used in general outdoor tents.
For reference, the material of the tent main body 100 is not limited to a specific material and may be selected and applied in various forms as long as it has a simple screen function or a shape capable of protecting the inside of the tent main body 100 from the outside.
For example, as shown in [
The tent main body 100 forms a specific shape such as a dome through the support frames 200 to be described below and has a usable space 110 formed inside. The tent main body 100 assembled while forming the specific shape has the usable space 110 for residence of users formed inside, entrances 120 for entry of users formed in the side portion, and opening and closing doors 130 respectively connected to the entrances 120.
At this time, a convex curved portion 140 that protrudes convexly toward the outside is formed on the side portion of the tent main body 100, and mat connecting members 150 for connection to the mat-type storage package 300 to be described below is formed on the convex curved portion 140 in the shape of a snap button or a Velcro tape.
For reference, the drawings show that entrances and opening and closing doors are formed on all front/rear/left/right sides of the main body, but the number and locations of entrances and opening and closing doors are not limited thereto and may be modified and implemented in various ways.
As mentioned above, the separate support frames 200 are connectively assembled on the tent main body 100.
The support frames 200 serve as a framework to form and maintain the shape of the tent main body 100, are in the shape of a bar with an overall certain length, and are connectively assembled on the tent main body 100 so as to contact the outer or inner surface of the tent main body 100 to support the shape of the tent main body 100.
The support frames 200 may be connected to the tent main body 100 through a separate link, etc. while being separated from the tent main body 100, and may be assembled by being inserted and embedded into the tent main body 100.
At this time, the support frames 200 cross upper and side surfaces of the tent main body 100 and are disposed in all directions around the upper center of the tent main body 100 such that the support force may be applied to the tent main body 100 as a whole.
For reference, a support frame structure in the present disclosure is not limited to a specific structure and may be selected and applied in various ways as long as it may exert the support force to maintain the shape of the tent main body 100, such as a pole used in prefabricated tents of the related art or a support frame used in integrated tents of the related art.
In this state, in the present embodiment, the separate mat-type storage package 300 is additionally provided.
The mat-type storage package 300 in the present embodiment is a component that functions as a package used when storing and transporting the disassembled tent main body 100 and as an external mat such as a mat by being assembled around the tent main body 100 when the tent is assembled.
The mat-type storage package 300 includes again a mat main body 310, first detachable members 320, and an opening and closing member 330.
Among these, the mat main body 310 performs a storage function in addition to an actual mat function, a is in the shape of a mat having a certain overall area and including a similar or identical material to the tent main body 100, and is located in an unfolded state on the ground around the entrance 120 outside the tent main body 100.
For reference, the drawing show that the mat main body 310 is located only in front of the entrance 120 formed on the front side portion of the tent main body 100, but the location of the mat main body 310 is not limited thereto and may be selected and applied, such as being assembled around each of the entrances 120 of the tent main body 100.
The following description will be given based on the case where mat-type storage package 300 is formed in front of the entrance 120 on the front side portion as shown in the drawings.
In the mat main body 310 located above, a concave curved portion 312 concavely recessed toward the opposite side of the tent main body 100 with a similar or identical curvature to the convex curved portion 140 of the tent main body 100 is formed at an end facing the tent main body 100.
Also, the mat main body 310 is not made of a single piece of cloth, but with one edge section open, and a storage space 313 for storing the disassembled tent main body 100 is formed inside the mat main body 310.
The opening and closing member 330 is for opening and closing the storage space 313 of the mat main body 310, is formed along an opening point corresponding to an entrance of the storage space 313 in the front edge of the mat main body 310 and may be applied in various forms such as a slide fastener, a button, or a Velcro tape.
For reference, a formation location of the opening and closing member 330 is not limited to the front of the mat main body 310, but may be formed on the left and right sides or the rear side according to a formation structure of the storage space 313.
In addition, the height of the storage space 313 may be adjusted to expand the volume thereof, and accordingly, the tent main body 100 may be easily stored. Specifically, as shown in [
Such a structure for expanding the volume of the storage space 313 described above may be implemented by simply applying an edge surface of the mat-type storage package 300 to a folded shape or a corrugated shape, in addition to the zipper shape.
The first detachable members 320 are elements for integrally coupling the entire mat-type storage package 300 to the tent main body 100, and are formed at both left and right ends of the concave curved portion 312 of the mat main body 310 facing the tent main body 100.
For reference, the first detachable members 320 are not limited to a specific shape, and may be applied in various ways, such as a snap button or a Velcro tape, to suit the shape of the mat connecting members 150 of the tent main body 100.
Due to such a structure, the mat-type storage package 300 in the present embodiment has a thin pouch shape as a whole.
In this state, the mat main body 310 is integrated with the tent main body 100 as the first detachable members 320 are coupled to the mat connecting members 150 while the concave curved portion 312 is located to be in close contact with the convex curved portion 140 of the tent main body 100.
Therefore, a sense of unity may be increased without generating a gap at a boundary between the mat main body 310 and the tent main body 100, as well as the risk of loss of the mat-type storage package 300 during the use process may be prevented.
In this state, the mat-type storage package 300 may be transformed into a bag structure to facilitate transportation when the disassembled tent main body 100 is folded and stored.
To this end, first, first mat folding lines 314 for forming handle portions 318 to be described below are formed on an upper surface of the mat main body 310 in the shape that crosses the concave curved portion 312 in a transverse direction.
At this time, sections of the rear side of the mat main body 310 with respect to the first mat folding lines 314, that is, facing the tent main body 100, are handle portion formation sections 315 for forming the handle portions 318 later.
The handle portion forming sections 315 formed as described above are folded by rotating in a direction of the front side with respect to the first mat folding lines 314, that is, in a direction opposite to the tent main body 100, in a process of forming the handle portions 318 later.
In addition, second mat folding lines 316 are formed from both intersections between the first mat folding lines 314 and the concave curved portion 312 on the upper surface of the mat main body 310 toward the front, that is, in a direction perpendicular to the first mat folding lines 314.
That is, both the second mat folding lines 316 are formed in a horizontal state at points symmetrical to each other with left and right intervals with respect to a middle point of the concave curved portion 312.
At this time, a section of the mat main body 310 between the concave curved portion 312 and both the second mat folding lines 316 becomes a storage portion formation section 317 that forms a substantial storage portion 319 when the mat main body 310 is transformed into the shape of a bag later.
The storage portion formation section 317 formed as described above is transformed into the substantial storage portion 319 when left and right sides of the mat main body 310 are rotated and folded toward each other with respect to both second mat folding lines 316 during the process of transforming the mat main body 310 into the shape of a bag later.
Also, at points where the first detachable members 320 are seated when the handle forming section 315 on the upper surface of the mat main body 310 is rotated and folded with respect to the first mat folding lines 314, second detachable members 340 which are fastened to the first detachable members 320 such that the handle portions 318 are simultaneously formed and maintained are formed.
The second detachable members 340 may be selected and applied to have various types of fastening structures according to the shapes of the first detachable members 320.
Hereinafter, the operation of the present embodiment described above will be described.
First, as the mat main body 310 is spread out on the ground in front of the front entrance 120 of the assembled tent main body 100 and both first detachable members 320 of the mat main body 310 are fastened to both mat connecting members 150 of the tent main body 100, the mat-type storage package 300 may function as an outdoor mat while being integrated with the tent main body 100.
In addition, as mentioned above, because the concave curved portion 312 of the mat main body 310 is in close contact with the convex curved portion 140 of the tent main body 100 at the same curvature, a phenomenon in which a boundary point between the mat main body 310 and the tent main body 100 is wrinkled or a gap therebetween widens may be minimized.
When disassembling the tent in this state, first, fastening between the first detachable members 320 and the mat connecting members 150 is released to separate the mat main body 310 from the tent main body 100, and then the tent main body 100 is folded to minimize its volume.
Thereafter, as shown in [
In this state, as shown in [
In this state, when the tent main body 100 is inserted into the storage space 313 within the storage portion 319, an entrance of the storage section 319 is closed with the opening and closing member 330, and both handle portions 318 are held at the same time, as shown in the drawings, the entire mat-type storage package 300 has the shape of a single bag, which makes transportation and storage much easier.
Also, in this state, as shown in [
For reference, due to the connection structure between the tent main body 100 and the mat-type storage package 300 described above, the tent main body 100 and the mat-type storage package 300 have the overall shape of a cap. In this state, as shown in [
This is because the popularity of domestic and foreign professional baseball, professional basketball, and professional soccer has been increasing recently, and in particular, it is absolutely necessary for each club to promote the club and its league, when the logo of the club or the logo of the affiliated league is printed on a product used by consumers with a wide age range and active tendencies, as in the present disclosure, not only may this be used as means to increase promotional effect, but this may also serve as a catalyst to motivate consumers to purchase the product of the present disclosure.
The present embodiment is the same as the first embodiment above in the technical concept and configuration of applying the mat-type storage package 300, but is different in that the assembling structure of the support frames 200 is improved such that the case of assembling and disassembling of the tent is enhanced as shown in [
More specifically, as in the first embodiment, the support frames 200 are basically assembled on the tent main body 100, the mat-type storage package 300 is connectively assembled to be separable from the tent main body 100, and a central frame coupling portion 400 is additionally provided.
The central frame coupling portion 400 is an element that acts as a medium to simultaneously connect the support frames 200 to each other and guides the overall assembling and disassembling process of the support frames 200 to be simple and quick.
The central frame coupling portion 400 is in the shape of an overall circular block, and has fastening portions 410 in the shape of a groove arranged on a circumferential surface thereof at intervals from each other for simultaneous coupling with the support frames 200.
In this state, the central frame coupling portion 400 is located at the center of an upper end of the tent main body 100 and integrally connected to the tent main body 100.
At this time, the central frame coupling portion 400 may be assembled to penetrate the tent main body 100 up and down or to be attached to the upper surface of the tent main body 100. The assembling structure of the central frame coupling portion 400 is selected and applied according to whether the support frames 200 are located outside or inside the tent main body 100.
For reference, the shape of the central frame coupling portion 400 is not limited to the shape of the circular block shown in the drawing, but may be selected and applied in various ways as long as the fastening portions 410 are formed to simultaneously connect the support frames 200.
The support frames 200 in the embodiment have the overall shape of a long bar, are located to be in close contact with or inserted into an inner surface of the tent main body 100, and are arranged in a plurality of circles at intervals in all directions with respect to the central frame coupling portion 400.
In this state, as the support frames 200 are located to cross from the upper center of the tent main body 100 through one side to the lower end, the support force of the support frames 200 may be uniformly applied over the entire area of the tent main body 100.
In other words, upper ends of the support frames 200 are located in a circular arrangement with respect to the central frame coupling portion 400, and in this state, the upper ends of the support frames 200 are respectively inserted into and coupled to the fastening portions 410 of the central frame coupling portion 400.
Therefore, the support frames 200 are simultaneously connected to each other at the upper center of the tent main body 100 through the one central frame coupling portion 400, and as a result, the support force of the tent according to the present embodiment by the support frames 200 may be uniformly distributed throughout the tent with respect to the central frame coupling portion 400.
In addition, in the process of assembling the support frames 200, the support frames 200 may be simultaneously connected to each other by simply being coupled to the one central frame coupling portion 400 simultaneously, and thus, the assembling process of the tent may be performed easily and quickly.
In addition, to the contrary, in the process of disassembling the tent, the connection between the support frames 200 is released simply by separating the support frames 200 from the central frame coupling portion 400, and thus, the disassembling process may be performed easily and quickly.
For reference, it is shown in the drawings that the fastening portions 410 of the central frame coupling portion 400 have the shapes of the simple groove, but the shapes of the fastening portions 410 are not limited thereto, and may be modified in various ways as long as simultaneous fastening and separation to and from the support frames 200 are possible.
While the present embodiment has the same technical concept as the first embodiment in which the mat-type storage package 300 is applied and the second embodiment in which the central frame coupling portion 400 is additionally applied, as shown in [
The central frame coupling portion 400 applied in the present embodiment is an element that serves to supply air to the support frames 200 in the shape of a tube to be described below, in addition to the simultaneous coupling function of the support frames 200 as in the second embodiment.
The central frame coupling portion 400 is in the shape of a circular block, has the fastening portions 410 in the shape of a groove arranged on a circumferential surface thereof at intervals from each other for simultaneous coupling with the support frames 200, and is located at the central point of an upper end of the tent main body 100 as in the second embodiment.
At this time, an air distribution space 420 is formed inside the central frame coupling portion 400, and a main air injection/discharge port for supplying or withdrawing external air into or from the air distribution space 420 is formed in a lower surface of the central frame coupling portion 400.
Also, inside each of the fastening portions 410, an air nozzle 440 for supplying the air in the air distribution space 420 into the support frame 200 to be described below or for withdrawing the air in the support frame 200 into the air distribution space 420 is located in communication with the air distribution space 420.
The support frame 200 in the present embodiment is in the shape of a bar with a certain length, made of synthetic resin such as rubber or vinyl, and in the shape of a tube with an air filling space 210 formed therein.
The support frames 200 are located to be in close contact with or inserted into an inner surface of the tent main body 100 and arranged in a plurality of circles at intervals in all directions with respect to the central frame coupling portion 400 with upper ends facing the fastening portions 410 of the central frame coupling portion 40 as in the second embodiment.
At this time, an air inflow hole 220 is formed in the upper end of each of the support frames 200 through which the central frame coupling portion 400 may pass, and in this state, the upper end of each of the support frames 200 is inserted into each of the fastening portions 410 of the central frame coupling portion 400, and at the same time, the air nozzle 440 in each of the fastening portions 410 is penetrated and inserted into the air inflow hole 220 of each of the support frames 200.
Hereinafter, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.
First, because the air filling space 210 in each of the support frames 200 is not filled with air before assembling the tent, the support frame 200 does not have the shape of a standardized bar but is located in the shape of crumpled vinyl.
Therefore, even though the support frames 200 are not separated from the tent main body 100, the tent main body 100 may be easily folded and disassembled as well as the overall volume does not increase, and thus, compared to the prefabricated tents of the related art that separately use the support frames 200, the space consumption rate is much reduced when the tent is stored.
In the process of assembling the tent, when a user supplies air by coupling an air injection pump 1 to the main air injection/discharge port 430 of the central frame coupling portion 400, the supplied air is supplied to the air filling space 210 of each of the support frames 200 through the air nozzle 440 in each of the fastening portions 410 while being accommodated in the air distribution space 420.
As a result, the support frames 200 simultaneously expand in volume to have the shape of a bar, and at the same time, a support force is applied.
As described above, while the support frames 200 are coupled to the tent main body 100, the support frames 200 may function as support frames simply through injection of air, and thus, the assembling process may be performed much more easily and quickly compared to the prefabricated tents of the related art.
In addition, because each of the support frames 200 is tightly expanded by internal air pressure, the support force of the support frame 200 is increased compared to the prefabricated tents of the related art.
In other words, by implementing the support frame 200 in the shape of an air tube, there are the effects that assembling and disassembling of the tent may be made much more easily and quickly compared to the prefabricated tents of the related art, the volume may be minimized when the tent is stored, and a higher support force may be obtained compared to the prefabricated tents of the related art.
Also, as shown in the drawings, by forming separate individual air injection/discharge ports 250 for each of the support frames 200, if necessary, air may be injected through the central frame coupling portion 400, and air may be additionally injected through the individual air injection/discharge ports 250, and thus, the air filling time may be shortened.
In addition, even if the central frame coupling portion 400 is damaged and may not perform the air supply function, air may be injected through the individual air injection/discharge ports 250.
For reference, the main air injection/discharge port 430 of the central frame coupling portion 400 and the individual air injection/discharge ports 250 of the support frame 200 are in the shape of a nozzle capable of both injection and discharge of air, and a known nozzle applicable to a general air tub may be applied.
The present embodiment is characterized in that the support frame 200 is implemented in the shape of an air tube as in the third embodiment but in the shape of a multi-tube.
That is, as shown in [
First, the first tube 230 serves as an internal frame of the support frame 200, and is in the shape that a first air filling space 232 is formed inside and a first air inflow hole 234 is formed in an upper end.
Also, the second tube 240 generally has the shape of surrounding the first tube 230 from the outside, a second air filling space 242 in which the first tube 230 is accommodated is formed inside, and a second air inflow hole 244 is formed in an upper end.
In this state, an upper end of the support frame 200 is inserted into each of the fastening portion 410 of the central frame coupling portion 400, and at this time, the two air nozzles 440 are provided in each of the fastening portion 410 of the central frame coupling portion 400 and are individually penetrated and connected to the first air inflow hole 234 and the second air inflow hole 244 of each of the support frames 200.
As a result, air supplied through the central frame coupling portion 400 is individually supplied and filled to the first tube 230 and the second tube 240 of each of the support frames 200.
As the support frame 200 is implemented in the shape of the multi-tube as described above, the second tube 240 may maintain a support force even though the outer first tube 230 is damaged and air is lost due to an unnecessary contact during a use or storage process.
The present embodiment is characterized by applying the folding structure of the tent main body 100 in the first embodiment such that the tent main body 100 may be easily and quickly stored in the mat-type storage package 300 during the process of disassembling the tent main body 100.
To this end, the tent main body 100 has basically the same configuration as that described in the first embodiment, but as shown in [
Also, a first folding fixing member 100b and a second folding fixing member 100c that may be fastened to and separated from each other are formed at points symmetrical on both sides of an outer surface of the tent main body 100 with the first tent folding line 100a therebetween.
For reference, the first folding fixing member 100b and the second folding fixing member 100c may be implemented in the shape of snap buttons as shown in the drawings, or may be selected and applied in the shape such as Velcro tapes that may be easily fastened to and separated from each other.
Also, a third folding fixing member 100e and a fourth folding fixing member 100f that have the same shapes as the first folding fixing member 100b and the fourth folding fixing member 100f and may be fastened to and separated from each other are formed at points symmetrical on both sides of the outer surface of the tent main body 100 with the second tent folding line 100d therebetween.
Also, a fifth folding fixing member 100h and a sixth folding fixing member 100i that have the same shapes as the third folding fixing member 100e and the fourth folding fixing member 100f and may be fastened to and separated from each other are formed at points symmetrical on both sides of the outer surface of the tent main body 100 with the third tent folding line 100g therebetween.
In addition, a seventh folding fixing member 100k and an eighth folding fixing member 100l that have the same shapes as the fifth folding fixing member 100h and the sixth folding fixing member 100i and may be fastened to and separated from each other are formed at points symmetrical on both sides of the outer surface of the tent main body 100 with the fourth tent folding line 100j therebetween.
According to such a structure, in the process of disassembling the tent, first, while pushing a formation point of the first tent folding line 100a of the tent main body 100 toward the center of the tent main body 100, points on both sides with respect to the first tent folding line 100a are folded toward each other, and then the first folding fixing member 100b and the second folding fixing member 100c are fastened to each other, and thus, the folding state at the corresponding points is maintained.
Then, while pushing a formation point of the second tent folding line 100d of the tent main body 100 toward the center of the tent main body 100, points on both sides with respect to the second tent folding line 100d are folded toward each other, and then the third folding fixing member 100e and the fourth folding fixing member 100f are fastened to each other, and thus, the folding state at the corresponding points is maintained.
In addition, while pushing a forming point of the third tent folding line 100g of the tent main body 100 toward the center of the tent main body 100, points on both sides with respect to the third tent folding line 100g are folded towards each other, and then the fifth folding fixing member 100h and the sixth folding fixing member 100i are fastened to each other, and thus, the folding state at the corresponding points is maintained.
Also, while pushing a forming point of the fourth tent folding line 100j of the tent main body 100 toward the center of the tent main body 100, points on both sides with respect to the fourth tent folding line 100j are folded toward each other, and then the seventh folding fixing member 100k and the eighth folding fixing member 100l are fastened to each other, and thus, the folding state at the corresponding points is maintained.
In this state, with the entire tent main body 100 lying on the floor as shown in the drawings, the tent main body 100 is sequentially folded from the back to the front and then placed into the mat-type storage package 300 for storage.
In the present embodiment, each folding line is displayed on the tent main body 100 such that the user may easily know how to fold the tent main body 100, and thus, the tent may be easily and quickly disassembled.
For reference, the drawings show four folding lines, but in some cases, the tent main body 100 may include six or other number of folding lines.
Also, in this state, the tent main body 100 may be received and stored directly in the mat-type storage package 300, and thus, the receiving and storage process may be much easier.
