Description
BACKGROUND

The present disclosure relates to a vehicular rooftop tent.


In general, a tent refers to an assembly type movable house that can be disassembled and transported. Nowadays, such a tent is mainly used for temporary camping in military, exploration, mountaineering and camping fields rather than everyday residential use.


The shape, size and material of tents are changed depending on the purpose of use, the place of use, the number of people, the season, etc. The purpose of use and the scale of use of tents are very diverse. Such tents include tents used for military and school camping, large-scale tents used for outdoor music, the theater, the circus, and the like.


In particular, the tents used for leisure activities such as mountaineering, camping, travel and the like have a capacity of about 5 to 10 people and a size that can be carried by a user alone. There are various types of tents for leisure activities, such as a dome type, a triangle type, a roof type, a house type, a single-side slant type, a half-moon type, a dome type, etc.


Although such conventional tents are diverse in size, they are generally bulky, inconvenient to move, difficult to assemble, install and dismantle, and complex in structure, which may cause frequent failures of joints. In particular, when using a leisure tent, a user transports to a camping site mainly by using a vehicle, and then installs and use the prepared tent at the camping site. The tent stored in the vehicle is bulky, which makes it difficult to store a lot of preparations together with the tent. In addition, there is an inconvenience in that the stored tent needs to be taken out from the vehicle and installed.


Furthermore, since a minimum flat ground for spreading and installing the tent has to be secured, there is a limitation in selecting a location for installing the tent.


In order to solve the problems of these conventional tents, a vehicular rooftop tent as disclosed in Patent Document 1 has been proposed. In the rooftop tent according to Patent Document 1, tent fabrics and poles are accommodated in a storage space defined inside a base plate and a cover fixed to a roof of a vehicle. When the rooftop tent is opened by rotating the cover from the base plate, the poles and tent fabrics automatically spread to form a tent. Such a rooftop tent is commonly called a car pension because the rooftop tent can be installed on the roof of the vehicle and used like a mobile home. Such a vehicular rooftop tent is designed to combine leisure and automobile culture and has an advantage that unlike a large trailer or camper, it can be easily installed and used on a vehicle.


However, the conventional vehicular rooftop tent is configured to be covered with a tarpaulin waterproof cover to prevent the tent from getting wet during rainfall. In this case, when the vehicle is traveling, wind may be introduced into the waterproof cover made of fabric or the like and may swell. Thus, the waterproof cover may interfere with the driver's vision, may act as a resistance element during traveling to impair the traveling efficiency, and may have a poor appearance.

The tent inner fastening member 234 may include an inner upper edge 235 having a shape in which the remaining shape of the second edge frame 220 constituting the second tent fixing passage 222 extends.


The configurations of the first cover part 100 and the second cover part 200 as described above may be modified depending on the case. For example, the first cover part 100 may be configured to include the configurations of the second plate member 210, the second edge frame 220 and the second corner frame 230, and the second cover part 200 may be configured to include the configurations of the first plate member 110, the first edge frame 120 and the first corner frame.


Referring to FIG. 4, the hinge connection part 300 includes a first hinge member 310 connected to the first cover part 100 and a second hinge member 320 connected to the second cover part 200. The first hinge member 310 and the second hinge member 320 may be fixed to each other by a pin so as to be pivotable with respect to each other. Accordingly, when the mode of the vehicular rooftop tent 10 is switched, the first cover part 100 may rotate with respect to the second cover part 200 about a connection point between the first hinge member 310 and the second hinge member 320.


Referring to FIG. 5, the waterproof part 400 is provided so that one end thereof can be detachably fastened to the edge of the first cover part 100 in the folded mode state so as to close the space between the first cover part 100 and the second cover part 200. The waterproof part 400 may include a fastening rod 410 detachably fastened to the edge of the first cover part 100 in the folded mode state, a waterproof fabric 420 connected at one end to the fastening rod 410 and configured to close the space between the first cover part 100 and the second cover part 200, and a tightening module 430 provided at the other end of the waterproof fabric 420 and configured to selectively tighten or loosen the other end of the waterproof fabric 420.


The fastening rod 410 may be made of a soft material to have a shape of a round bar, and the waterproof fabric 420 may be provided in a shape extending in one direction from one end while surrounding the fastening rod 410. The waterproof fabric 420 may be made of, for example, tarpaulin.


The waterproof fabric 420 may be provided to seal the space between the first cover part 100 and the second cover part 200. To this end, the length L1 of the waterproof fabric 420 may be set to be larger than the gap L2 between the first cover part 100 and the second cover part 200.


In the waterproof part 400, the fastening rod 410 may be inserted into and received by the waterproof member fastening passage 122 and may be fastened to the first edge frame 120 over the entire edge of the first plate member 110. In addition, when the fastening rod 410 is completely accommodated in the waterproof member fastening passage 122, both ends of the waterproof part 400 may make contact with each other as shown in FIG. 2 to form a joint 404. At this time, in the joint 404, both ends of the waterproof fabric 420 of the waterproof part 400 may be partially overlapped with each other. The overlapped ends may be connected by a detachable material 407.


A joint cover attachment member 406 may be provided at the periphery of the joint 404. Since a joint cover is detachably attached to the joint cover attachment member 406, it is possible to prevent inundation through the joint 404. The joint cover may be made of the same material as the waterproof fabric.


The tightening module 430 for tightening or loosening the other end of the waterproof fabric 420 may be provided at the other end of the waterproof fabric 420.


The tightening module 430 may include, for example, a wire accommodation part 431 provided along the edge of the other end of the waterproof fabric 420, a tension dial part 432 including a wire 432a accommodated in the wire accommodation part 431 and a dial 432b for winding the wire 432a, and a support base 433 coupled to the bottom surface of the tension dial part 432 and provided so as to be attachable to the rear surface of the wire accommodation part 431.


The wire accommodation part 431 may be made of the same material as the waterproof fabric 420 and may be formed to extend from the other end of the waterproof fabric 420. The wire accommodation part 431 may be continuously provided along the entire edge of the other end of the waterproof fabric 420. However, when the length of the waterproof fabric 420 is sufficiently long, it may also be possible to provide the wire accommodation part 431 discontinuously. In other words, when the length of the waterproof fabric 420 is guaranteed so that the other end of the waterproof fabric 420 extends to the bottom surface of the second cover part 200 in a state in which the fastening rod 410 is fastened to the waterproof member fastening passage 122, the wire accommodation part 431 may be provided discontinuously. That is, the wire accommodating part 431 may include at least one section for exposing the wire 432a to the outside.


The tension dial part 432 may be provided to tighten or loosen the wire accommodation part 431 by selectively winding the wire 432a. For example, when the dial 432b of the tension dial part 432 is rotated in one direction, the wire 432a may be wound around the dial 432b. At this time, when the dial 432b is rotated in one direction by adopting an appropriate gear configuration, the wire 432a can be wound around the dial 432b. When the dial 432b is rotated in the other direction, the dial 432b and the wire 432a come into an idle state so that the wire 432a cannot be unwound. In addition, when one surface of the dial 432b is pressed, the idle state of the dial 432b and the wire 432a is released so that the wire 432a can be unwound. The tension dial part 432 may wind or unwind the wire 432 a so that the wire accommodation part 431 can make close contact with the bottom surface of the second cover part 200.


The support base 433 may be provided on one surface of the tension dial part 432. The support base 433 may allow the tension dial part 432 to be stably fixed to the wire accommodation part 431. For example, the support base 433 may be coupled to the bottom surface of the tension dial part 432 so that both ends thereof are exposed to the outside of the tension dial part 432. The portion of the support base 433 exposed to the outside of the tension dial part 432 may be coupled to the rear surface of the wire accommodation part 431. For example, both ends of the support base 433 may be provided so as to be attached to one rear end and the other rear end of the wire accommodation part 431, respectively. In this regard, the support base 433 and the wire accommodation part 431 may be coupled through a separate detachable material.


When the support base 433 is attached to the rear surface of the wire accommodation part 431, the dial 432b of the tension dial part 432 may be exposed to the outside between the other end of the waterproof fabric 420 and both ends of the wire accommodation part 431. Accordingly, the user can rotate or press the dial 432b in a state in which the support base 433 is attached to the wire accommodation part 431.


The waterproof fabric 420 may be provided to extend to the lower portion of the second cover part 200. When the user winds the wire 432a by rotating the dial 432b of the tightening module 430 in a state in which the other end of the waterproof fabric 420 is arranged below the second cover part 200, the wire accommodation part 431 is tightened as the wire 432 a is wound around the dial 432b. Thereafter, the tension dial 432 may be adjusted so that the wire accommodation part 431 makes close contact with the bottom surface of the second cover part 200. As a result, the waterproof fabric 420 may extend to seal the gap between the first cover part 100 and the second cover part 200, and the wire accommodation part 431 constituting the other end of the waterproof fabric 420 may extend to the bottom of the second cover part 200. Therefore, rainwater or the like may be prevented from entering the gap between the first cover part 100 and the second cover part 200 from the outside. As described above, the rooftop tent according to the embodiment of the present disclosure has the effect that the waterproof fabric 420 can be easily fastened to or separated from the cover part by tightening or loosening the other end of the waterproof fabric 420 through the use of the tightening module 430.


Meanwhile, a separate tension ring (not shown) for maintaining the tension of the waterproof fabric 420 in the folded mode state may be provided at the end of the wire accommodation part 431, and a tension protrusion (not shown) to which the tension ring is connected may be provided on the bottom surface of the second cover part 200 at a position corresponding to the position of the tension ring. The tension ring may be provided as an elastic member such as, for example, a rubber band or the like. By connecting the tension ring to the tension protrusion in the folded mode state, the waterproof fabric 420 may be held tightly between the first cover part 100 and the second cover part 200. The shapes of the tension ring and the tension protrusion may be variously changed as long as they correspond to a configuration capable of maintaining the tension of the waterproof fabric 420.


According to the present embodiment having the configuration as described above, when the vehicle travels in a state in which the rooftop tent is fixedly installed on the roof of the vehicle, the tent part may be accommodated in a substantially rectangular box which is defined by the first and second cover parts as two plate members and the waterproof part. Therefore, there is no possibility that the driver's view is obstructed due to the fluttering of the fabric cover during the traveling of the vehicle, and there is an effect of minimizing resistance during the driving of the vehicle. In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to provide a vehicular rooftop tent having a waterproof function and a neat appearance because the tent part is composed of the two rigid plate members and the waterproof part connecting the plate members with a sense of tension.


While the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above as specific examples, these embodiments are nothing more than examples. The present disclosure is not limited thereto and should be construed as having the widest scope in accordance with the basic idea disclosed herein. Those skilled in the art may combine or substitute the disclosed embodiments to implement a pattern of a shape not indicated herein. This also does not depart from the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, those skilled in the art may easily change or modify the disclosed embodiments based on the subject specification. It is apparent that such changes or modifications also belong to the scope of the present disclosure.
