Description

The present invention relates to a simple tent engagement and fastening device that uses an engagement member on a vehicle back door or other location to attach a simple tent to that location.

Traditionally, it has been common to hold barbecues and other events in the gardens of homes, and it is common for people to set up large parasols or simple, makeshift tents to provide shade from the scorching heat.

In addition, in recent years, the number of people enjoying outdoor leisure activities has increased, with more people driving to the sea, mountains, campsites, etc., and setting up tents on the spot has become common behavior.

In addition to fully assembled tents, simple tents that can be easily set up are becoming more common, making outdoor leisure activities even more accessible.

In this current situation, if you can pitch a tent using a car, you can utilize the space inside the car, and since there is generally enough space to park the car, there is no need to secure a separate space to pitch a tent, so various ideas have been devised.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a "vehicle rear door tent changing curtain," which, according to this technology, encloses the back door with a vehicle rear door cover, forming a tent at the top and a changing curtain at the bottom. When in use, the tent can be placed over the back door, the left and right size adjustment strings tied, the tent removed, the mounting rings fitted onto the tent poles, the tent set on the ground, and secured in place with ropes.

For example, Patent Document 2 discloses a "tent support fixing device for automobile doors," which, according to this technology, uses the locking function of a vehicle's back door or trunk door to fix a support member that supports a tent, and includes the support member extending horizontally from the door and a U-shaped portion having a shape similar to that of a U-shaped metal fitting, which is a latch lock inducing portion of the vehicle body and is integrally provided with the support member. The support member is fixed in the horizontally extended state by the locking function of the locking mechanism, and the latch lock inducing portion has the same shape as the lock and is pushed into a slit and sandwiched between the locking metal fittings, and the swing lock is brought into contact with the vehicle back door or trunk door, thereby fixing the tent support fixing device for automobile doors horizontally.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 09-235913 JP 2017-201110 A

The technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 is certainly advantageous in that the installation preparation can be completed with the simple task of placing the rear door cover over the back door.

However, because the size and shape of the back door differs depending on the size and shape of the vehicle, in order to install it securely, it is necessary to place the car rear door cover over the back door, then precisely and tightly tie the size adjustment strings on the left and right, and then remove the tent, which is a very tedious process.

The technology described in Patent Document 2 is also advantageous in that it allows for easy and reliable engagement when using the vehicle door locking function.

However, while a swing lock, which regulates the principle of leverage with the locking hardware as the fulcrum, can prevent forward and backward movement, it cannot prevent left and right movement. Furthermore, the locking function alone cannot adequately secure the device, and there is also the problem that rainwater can seep in through the gap between the vehicle and the tent.

The present invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a simple tent engagement and fastening device that allows a simple tent to be easily and securely attached to an object such as a vehicle, and that also prevents rainwater from entering through the attachment point.

To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following:

The invention of claim 1 aims to provide a simple tent engagement fixture that is configured to attach a simple tent with a detachable other engagement part to one engagement part formed on an object, and that has the other engagement part and a long buffer part made of an elastic material formed on the front side of a long main body base extending horizontally, and the simple tent is formed on the rear side of the main body base, and the buffer part is configured to abut against the surface of the object when attached by engaging with the object.

The invention according to claim 2 aims to provide the simple tent engagement and fastening device according to claim 1, characterized in that the buffer portion is formed so as to slope downward toward the left and right ends of the main body base.

In other words, the aim is to provide a simple tent engaging and fixing device that can easily and securely attach a simple tent to an object such as a vehicle, and that can prevent rainwater from entering through the attachment point.

The simple tent engagement fixture 1 according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, in this description, structures and parts that are identical or symmetrical on the left and right sides are generally given the same reference numerals, and only one side will be described, with the other side omitted as appropriate.

In addition, in this description, one of the engaging parts A is the receiving locker, and the other engaging part 11 is described as a U-shaped striker for convenience, but these two engaging parts A and 11 are not limited to one or the other, and even if they are configured in the opposite way, it is within the scope of the present invention.

Furthermore, in this description, one engaging part A and the other engaging part 11 are described as a locker and striker that are generally used in automobiles, etc., but these are not limited to this embodiment, and the type of engaging parts is not important as long as they engage with each other.

In this description, the back door of the automobile C is described as the target object B, but the target object B is not limited to this. For example, if one of the engagement parts A is formed on the wall surface of a building, the building (wall) becomes the target object B.

In addition, in this description, the temporary tent 19 is described as a simple roll screen type that forms the awning 20, but the shape and structure of the temporary tent 19 are not limited to this.

The front and rear of the simple tent engagement fixture 1 according to this embodiment will be described as the side on which the other engagement part 11 and the buffer part 14 are formed relative to the main body base 2, and the rear side as the side on which the simple tent 19 is formed.

[Basic configuration]
The basic configuration of the simple tent engaging fastener 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1(a) and (b), is to attach a simple tent 19 having a detachable other engaging portion 11 to one engaging portion A formed on the object B, and the other engaging portion 11 and a long buffer portion 14 made of an elastic material are formed on the front side of a long main body base 2 extending horizontally, and the simple tent 19 is formed on the rear side of the main body base 2, and the buffer portion 14 is configured to abut against the surface of the object B when attached by engaging with the object B.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1(a), the simple tent engagement fixture 1, which has a substantially horizontal longitudinal direction, is engaged with one engagement part A formed on the back door B (target object) of an open vehicle C by engaging the other engagement part 11, so that the buffer part 14 is attached while abutting against the side of the back door B, and as shown in FIG. 1(b), the simple tent 19, which serves as a sunshade, can be installed by pulling the curtain 20 of the simple tent 19 made of a roll screen backward and screwing the male screw 22 formed on the corner part 21 of the curtain 20 into the female screw 24 formed on the upper part of the retractable support 23.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2(a), the other engagement part 11 is formed by connecting the open ends of the U-shaped striker to the top and bottom at the center of the front of the main body base 2, which is long and T-shaped in cross section and consists of a vertical piece 3 and a horizontal piece 8, and a rectangular block-shaped buffer part 14, which is made of an elastic material such as urethane and has a length approximately equal to the length of the main body base 2, is attached to the vertical piece 3 with double-sided tape or the like, and a simple tent 19 with a width approximately equal to the length of the main body base 2 is arranged on the upper part of the rear side of the main body base 2, which consists of the vertical piece 3 and the horizontal piece 8, as shown in FIG. 2(b).

The shape of the main body base 2 is not limited to this embodiment, and the shape of the main body base 2 is not important as long as it is configured to allow the buffer section 14 and the simple tent 19 to be integrally arranged.

As shown in Figures 3(a) and (d), the buffer section 14 is cut out in a specific area on the lower side, leaving only the upper part near the center where it interferes with the other engaging section 11, but the cutout area can be formed as desired as long as it does not interfere with the other engaging section 11, and from the viewpoint of preventing rainwater from entering, it is desirable that the left and right sides of the buffer section 14 are connected to the extent that they are not separated.

As shown in Figures 3(b), (c), and (e), the temporary tent 19 is configured so that the curtain 20 (screen) is pulled out horizontally from below, placed horizontally on top of the horizontal piece 8 on the rear side of the main body base 2, and fixed in place with a fixing device (not shown).

As shown in FIG. 4(a), the buffer section 14 may be formed in a generally V-shape so that it slopes downward toward the left and right ends of the main body base 2 to prevent rainwater from accumulating. As shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b), multiple hemispherical anti-slip sections 15 made of an elastic material such as rubber or silicone may be formed on the surface of the buffer section 14 to improve the contact and fixing force with the back door B.

The shape and arrangement of the anti-slip portion 15 are not limited to this embodiment.

Also, as shown in Figures 6(a) and (b), in order to prevent scratches on the abutting surface of the back door B caused by the adhesion of iron sand and to strengthen the fixation of the simple tent engagement fixture 1, a sheet-like magnet 16 may be formed on the inner surface (or outer surface) of the buffer part 14, and a thin sheet-like metal 17 made of a magnetic material such as iron and formed with an area slightly larger than that of the magnet 16 may be arranged on the outer surface.

When using the simple tent engagement fixture 1, remove the sheet metal 17 and remove any attached particles such as iron sand before connecting it to the magnet 16 to prevent scratches on the contact surface of the back door B.

Next, we will explain modified examples of the simple tent engagement fixture 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention using the drawings.

A modified example of the simple tent engagement fixture 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention improves the adhesion between the buffer part 14 and the object B by forming a pressing mechanism 26 in which the simple tent engagement fixture 1 according to the basic configuration described above is engaged with the object B and the buffer part 14 forcibly presses against the surface of the object B after installation.

This modified example has two configurations: either the other engagement part 11 can be moved back and forth, or the buffer part 14 can be moved back and forth. The former will be described in detail first.

The pressing mechanism 26 of the modified example 1 of the simple tent engagement fixture described below is configured so that the cushioning part 14 presses against the surface of the object B by forming an engagement part 27 (27a, 27b) that allows the other engagement part 11 to move forward and backward and to be fixed on the retreating side, and there are two further methods (simple tent engagement fixture 1a, 1b).

[Modification 1 (Simplified Tent Engagement Fixture 1a)]
The appearance of the pressing mechanism 26 relating to the modified example 1 constituting the simple tent engaging and fixing device 1a is shown in FIG. 7. After the other engaging portion 11 protruding forward as shown in FIG. 8(a) engages with one engaging portion A (not shown), the other engaging portion 11 is retracted as shown in FIG. 8(b) to urge the buffer portion 14 against the object B, and the other engaging portion 11 can be freely fixed on the retracted side by the engaging advance/retract portion 27a.

Specifically, as shown in Figures 7, 9(a) and (b), the other engagement portion 11 is connected to a rectangular plate-shaped engagement base 32, and the engagement base 32 is loosely fitted into the engagement base 32 so that the forward and backward movable shaft 34 extending to the rear of the engagement base 32 can rotate freely.

A disk-shaped pivot 35 is formed at the tip of the movable shaft 34, and a rotation groove 33 is formed in the engagement base 32, which is made up of a stepped recess that is slightly larger than the outer shape of the movable shaft 34 and the pivot 35, so that the pivot 35 does not come off the engagement base 32 and can rotate without load.

In addition, first and second retaining portions 28, 29 are formed in the middle of the movable shaft 34, which are smaller in diameter and shorter than the movable shaft 34 and form part of the engaging portion 27a. The two retaining portions 28, 29 are inserted and fixed parallel to each other close to each other so as to cross the movable shaft 34 at right angles, and a roughly annular handle 36a is connected to the rear end of the movable shaft 34.

In the gap between the first retaining portion 28 and the vertical piece 3 of the main body base 2, a compression spring 30a is placed with washers 31, 31 on either side of the compression spring 30a, each with a larger diameter than the compression spring 30a, through which the movable shaft 34 is inserted.

The vertical piece 3 of the main body base 2 has an axial hole 4 with a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the washer 31 through which the movable shaft 34 can be freely inserted, and a restricting piece 37 is vertically attached to the rear end of the horizontal piece 8. The restricting piece 37 is a rectangular plate-like piece that extends vertically downward and forms part of the engaging portion 27a.

A rectangular restriction window 38 is drilled in the center of the restriction piece 37, and is longer and narrower than the first and second retaining portions 28, 29, with the longitudinal direction extending up and down.

The pressing mechanism 26 of variant 1 constituting the simple tent engagement fixing device 1a constructed in this manner has the first and second retaining portions 28, 29 constituting the engagement advance/retract portion 27a and the restricting piece 37 having the restricting window 38, so that the second retaining portion 29 in the horizontally extended state is in contact with the restricting piece 37 on the inside by the restricting window 38 as shown in FIG. 8(c) and FIG. 9(a), and then the other engagement portion 11 protruding forward is engaged with one engagement portion A (not shown), as shown in FIG. 8(d), and then the handle 36a is rotated approximately 90° so that the first and second retaining portions 28, 29 pass through the restricting window 38 as shown in FIG. 8(d), and while retreating rearward, the handle 36a is again rotated approximately 90° as shown in FIG. 8(e), so that the first retaining portion 28 is in contact with the restricting piece 37 on the outside by the restricting window 38, as shown in FIG. 8(b) and FIG. 9(b).

The compression spring 30a biases the other engaging portion 11 rearward, not only strengthening the engagement with the one engaging portion A, but also preventing the first and second retaining portions 28, 29 from easily passing through the restricting window 38.

As shown in Figures 7, 9(c), etc., a disk-shaped stopper 66 is formed at the rear end on the left and right sides of the engagement base 32, and a guide shaft 65 is protruded and extends rearward. The guide shaft 65 is freely inserted into the vertical piece 3 of the main body base 2, so that the other engagement part 11 itself does not swing or rotate.

[Modification 1 (simple tent engagement fixture 1b)]
The pressing mechanism 26 of variant example 1 constituting the simple tent engaging and fixing device 1b is configured to use a ratchet mechanism as the engaging and retracting portion 27b, and as shown in Figures 10(a), (b) and 11(a) and (b), by rotating the handle 41 up and down, the other engaging portion 11 is moved rearward by the belt 42 engaged with the other engaging portion 11.

That is, after the other engaging part 11 protruding forward as shown in FIG. 10(a) is engaged with one engaging part A (not shown), the other engaging part 11 is retracted as shown in FIG. 10(b) to bias the buffer part 14 against the object B, and the other engaging part 11 can be fixed freely on the retracted side by the engaging advance/retract part 27b.

Specifically, a rectangular, annular belt engagement part 12 that is open from above and below is formed at the rear end of the other engagement part 11, and a belt insertion part 5 is drilled in the vertical piece 3 of the main body base 2, allowing the belt 42 to be freely inserted in the horizontal direction.

A ratchet fixing box 40 containing a ratchet mechanism is attached vertically to the horizontal piece 8 of the main body base 2, and the ratchet fixing box 40 is formed with a belt fixing shaft 43 that is inserted horizontally into the relevant portion of the belt 42, one end of which is sewn into a loop.

The ratchet fixing box 40 also has a pawl that engages with the gear in only one direction on the periphery of the inclined gear at its end (not shown) connected to the handle 41, and the pawl is connected to a reel that holds the other end of the belt, so that by rotating the handle 41 up and down, the belt 42 is wound up by the reel while the other engagement part 11 is moved backwards.

In addition, since the claw is normally biased toward the gear by a spring or the like, the belt 42 wound on the reel can be easily pulled out by pressing a reset button (not shown) that releases this biasing force.

The pressing mechanism 26 of variant 1, which constitutes the simple tent engagement fixture 1b constructed in this manner, allows the other engagement part 11 located in the front as shown in Figures 10(a) and 11(a) to be freely fixed on the retreating side even if it is retreated backward as shown in Figures 10(b) and 11(b) by rotating the handle 41 up and down, thanks to the ratchet mechanism that constitutes the engagement advancement and retreat part 27b.

The two compression springs 30b shown in Figures 11(a) and (b) bias the other engagement part 11 forward in the normal state, and the guide shaft 65 shown in Figures 10(a) and (b) has the same function as the modified example 1 of the simple tent engagement fixture 1a described above, and is connected to the belt engagement part 12. The guide shaft 65 is also drilled into the vertical piece 3 of the main body base 2 so that it can be freely inserted, preventing the other engagement part 11 itself from swinging or rotating.

Next, we will describe in detail variant 2, which is equipped with a pressing mechanism 26 that advances the buffer section 14 forward.

The pressing mechanism 26 of the simplified tent engagement fixture according to variant 2 described below is configured to form a cushioning extension section 45 (45a, 45b, 45c) that advances the cushioning section 14 forward so that the cushioning section 14 presses against the surface of the object B, and there are three other types (simple tent engagement fixtures 1c, 1d, 1e).

[Modification 2 (Simplified Tent Engagement Fixture 1c)]
The pressing mechanism 26 of the modified example 2 constituting the simple tent engaging and fixing device 1c is configured so that the buffer section 14 can be moved back and forth by advancing and retracting the pressing bolt 46 as the buffer extension section 45a, as shown in Figures 12(a), (b) and (c).

Specifically, a female screw 6 is formed at two points on the back surface of the vertical piece 3 of the main body base 2, and a pressing bolt 46 consisting of a male screw that screws into the female screw 6 is screwed in.

The other engagement part 11 and buffer part 14 are connected to a rectangular base plate 48, and the back surface of the base plate 48 has pressure projections 49, 49 that can be freely inserted into the two female screws 6, 6 from the front surface of the vertical piece 3.

In addition, to prevent the base plate 48 on which the other engagement portion 11 and the buffer portion 14 are formed from falling off from the main body base 2, a structure not shown, such as the above-mentioned guide shaft 65, is provided.

By configuring it in this way, it is possible to firmly attach the buffer part 14 to the object B by engaging the other engaging part 11 with one of the engaging parts A and then screwing in the two pressing bolts 46.

In addition, in this modified example 2 which constitutes the simple tent engagement fixture 1c, the other engagement part 11 and the buffer part 14 are connected to the base plate 48, but it is more preferable to connect the other engagement part 11 to the vertical piece 3 of the main body base 2 and connect only the buffer part 14 to the base plate 48, which is more advantageous for firmly adhering the buffer part 14 to the object B.

The number of pressing bolts 46 formed in the cushioning extension section 45a is not limited to two, and any number may be used as long as it is possible to firmly attach the cushioning section 14 to the object B.

[Modification 2 (Simplified Tent Engagement Fixture 1d)]
As shown in Figures 13(a) and (b) , the pressing mechanism 26 of the modified example 2 constituting the simple tent engaging and fixing device 1d is configured so that the buffer section 14 can be moved back and forth by operating the operating section 51 by the link mechanism as the buffer payout section 45b.

Specifically, it is composed of an operating section 51 with the other engaging section 11 connected to its tip below the horizontal piece 8 and a ring-shaped handle 36b formed at its rear end, two stays 52, 52 with one end pivotally connected to the front left and right of the operating section 51 so that it can rotate freely, two fulcrum shafts 9 hanging down from the horizontal piece 8 of the main body base 2, and a rectangular link base plate 53 with a buffer section 14 connected to its front and two stay support sections 54, 54 formed on its rear surface into which the other end of the stay 52 is loosely fitted so that it can rotate freely and move left and right.

By configuring it in this way, after the other engaging part 11 is engaged with one of the engaging parts A, the operating part 51 is moved backward, causing the two stays 52, 52 abutting the two fulcrum shafts 9 to tilt while the link base plate 53 moves forward, making it possible to firmly attach the buffer part 14 to the object B.

In addition, to prevent the link base plate 53 on which the buffer section 14 is formed from falling off the main body base section 2, a structure not shown in the figure, such as the above-mentioned guide shaft 65, is provided.

The operating unit 51 is also arranged on the main body base 2 in a manner that allows it to slide back and forth, with a configuration not shown.

The operating part 51 is also connected to the main body base 2 by a spring or the like (not shown) in order to bias the other engaging part 11 rearward in the normal state.

[Modification 2 (Simplified Tent Engagement Fixture 1e)]
As shown in FIGS. 14(a) and 14(b), the pressing mechanism 26 according to the second modification constituting the simple tent engaging and fixing device 1e is configured so that the cushioning portion 14 can be moved back and forth by an airbag mechanism as a cushioning payout portion 45c.

Specifically, an air bag 56 is disposed in the gap between the front surface of the main body base 2 and the buffer section 14, and is connected to a hand pump 58 disposed on the back surface of the vertical piece 3 by an air pipe 57 that communicates with the air bag 56.

The hand pump 58 is equipped with an air vent plug (not shown).

By configuring it in this way, after engaging the other engaging part 11 with one engaging part A, the hand pump 58 is pressed down several times, causing the two airbags 56, 56 to inflate and move forward, making it possible to firmly attach the buffer part 14 to the object B.

As explained above, the simple tent engagement fixtures 1, 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, and 1e according to this embodiment are used to attach a simple tent 19 having a detachable other engagement part 11 to one engagement part A formed on the object B. The other engagement part 11 and a long buffer part 14 made of an elastic material are formed on the front side of the long main body base 2 that extends horizontally, and the simple tent 19 is formed on the rear side of the main body base 2. The buffer part 14 is configured to abut against the surface of the object B when attached by engaging with the object B. Therefore, the simple tent 19 can be easily attached to the object B by simply engaging the other engagement part 11 with the one engagement part A, and rainwater can be prevented from entering from the attachment point.

In addition, the buffer section 14 is formed so that it slopes downward toward the left and right ends of the main body base 2, which prevents rainwater from accumulating in the upper part of the buffer section 14 and allowing it to be led out to both ends of the buffer section 14 and drained away.

In addition, the simple tent engagement fixtures 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, and 1e according to this embodiment are formed with a pressing mechanism 26 that forcibly presses the buffer part 14 against the surface of the object B after the fixture is attached by engaging with the object B, so that the buffer part 14 can be strongly urged against the surface of the object B, further preventing rainwater from entering through the attachment point.

The pressing mechanism 26 of the simple tent engagement fixtures 1a and 1b according to this embodiment is configured so that the cushioning part 14 presses against the surface of the object B by forming an engagement advancement/retraction part 27 that allows the other engagement part 11 to move forward and backward and be fixed on the retreating side, making it easier to attach the other engagement part 11 to one engagement part A, and since the cushioning part 14 can be strongly urged against the surface of the object B, it is possible to further prevent rainwater from entering through the attachment point.

In addition, the pressing mechanism 26 of the simple tent engagement fasteners 1c, 1d, and 1e according to this embodiment is configured so that the cushioning section 14 presses against the surface of the target object B by forming a cushioning extension section 45 that advances the cushioning section 14 forward, so that the cushioning section 14 can be strongly applied to the surface of the target object B while adjusting the pressing force of the cushioning section 14, further preventing rainwater from entering through the attachment point.

The above describes the preferred embodiments of the simple tent engagement fasteners 1, 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, and 1e according to the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, and various modifications and variations are possible.
