Tent with an extended roof portion

Abstract

A tent with a roof section ( 20 ) comprises at least one awning section ( 21 ) and a linkage structure ( 10 ), which can be pulled from a non-use state to a use state and, vice versa which can be pushed together from the use state into the non-use state. The roof section ( 20 ) can be arranged on the linkage structure ( 10 ). A mechanism is provided that brings the awning section ( 21 ) automatically from its non-use state to its use state when the linkage structure ( 10 ) is pulled apart and brings the awning section ( 21 ) automatically from its use state into its non-use state when the linkage structure is pushed together utilizing the movement of at least one linkage rod ( 1′ ) of the linkage structure ( 10 ).

A tent with a roof section, at least one awning section and a linkage structure, which can be pulled from a non-use state to a use state and vice versa, can be pushed together from a use state into the non-use state, wherein the roof section can be arranged on the linkage structure, said tent comprising a mechanism that brings the awning section automatically from its non-use state to its use state when the linkage structure is pulled apart and brings the awning section automatically from its use state into its non-use state when the linkage structure is pushed together utilizing the movement of at least one linkage rod of the linkage structure.  
   
   
       2 . A tent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the awning section is supported by two rod-shaped carrier elements, each of which is attached to a support rod located at one corner of the tent in a pivoting manner, and in that at each carrier element, the one end of a connecting rod is arranged in a pivoting manner and the other end is pivoted at the linkage rod of the linkage structure.  
   
   
       3 . A tent as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein the free end of the linkage rod is hinged to a gliding part and said gliding part can move along a support rod when the linkage structure is pulled apart.  
   
   
       4 . A tent as set forth in  claim 1  which it exhibits a rectangular floor plan, wherein four support rods located at the corner of the rectangle are resting next to one another in the non-use state and are in the use state arranged at the corners of the tent and wherein an awning carrier element is arranged at at least two neighboring support rod.  
   
   
       5 . A tent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein one carrier element each is arranged at the neighboring support rods of one side of the tent.  
   
   
       6 . A tent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein one carrier element each is arranged at the support rods of two neighboring sides of the tent.  
   
   
       7 . A tent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein one carrier element each is arranged at the support rods of three neighboring sides of the tent.  
   
   
       8 . A tent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein one carrier element each is arranged at the support rods of all four sides of the tent.  
   
   
       9 . A tent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one awning section is formed in one piece with the roof section.  
   
   
       10 . A tent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one awning section is attached, preferable by sewing, at one edge of the roof section.  
   
   
       11 . A tent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the connecting rod is articulated to a linkage rod that moves in one plane between two support rods, when the linkage structure is pulled apart from the non-use state into the use state, said plane being adjacent to the plane from which the carrier element is moved out.  
   
   
       12 . A tent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein in the corner area of a support rod, a carrier element runs in the direction of the angle bisector of the angle between two adjacent planes between the support rod and the two neighboring support rods, which meet in the corner area, toward the outside and using a first connecting rod is coupled to a first linkage rod that moves from the non-use state into the use state when the tent is pulled apart.  
   
   
       13 . A tent as set forth in  claim 12 , wherein the first connecting rod moves in a plane that borders on the support rod of the corner area when the tent is pulled apart from the non-use state into the use state.  
   
   
       14 . A tent as set forth in  claim 12 , wherein the carrier element is coupled to a second linkage rod using a second connecting rod, where said second linkage rod moves from the non-use state into the use state when the tent is pulled apart.  
   
   
       15 . A tent as set forth in  claim 14 , wherein the second connecting rod moves in a second plane that is adjacent to the support rod of the corner area and is next to the first plane when the tent is pulled apart from the non-use state into the use state.  
   
   
       16 . A tent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein in the use position, the carrier element runs downward under an acute angle to the corresponding support rod.  
   
   
       17 . A tent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein in the non-use position, the carrier element rests approximately against the respective support rod.  
   
   
       18 . A tent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the connecting rods are articulated to the respective linkage rods and/or connecting rods ( 4 ) using universal joints.  
   
   
       19 . A tent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein carrier elements that hold the awning section run perpendicular to an edge of the roof section, in that at least two connecting rods and at least two additional connecting rods are provided that transfer the movement of the linkage structure onto the carrier elements, in that one additional connecting rod each is pivoted with its one side at the gliding part and with its other side at a carrier element, and in that each one side of a connecting rod is pivoted at a linkage rod of the linkage structure and the other side of the connecting rod at the carrier element such that the connecting rod generates a force that pushes the carrier element outward and tautens the awning section when in the use position.  
   
   
       20 . A tent as set forth in  claim 19 , wherein the other side of the connecting rod is pivoted at the carrier element at a place that lies between, preferably centered between, the point at which the carrier element is pivoted at the support rod and the point at which the other side of the additional connecting rod is pivoted at the carrier element.  
   
   
       21 . A tent as set forth in  claim 19 , wherein at least one additional carrier element that runs parallel to the carrier elements and is hinged at an additional support rod is located between two outer carrier elements and is supported by an additional connecting rod that is pivoted at its one side at the gliding part of the additional support rod and with its other side at the additional carrier element, and wherein at each side of the additional carrier element, a connecting rod is provided, whose one side is pivoted at a linkage rod and whose other side at the additional carrier element wherein the connecting rod generates a force that acts in the direction of the additional carrier element when in the use position.  
   
   
       22 . A tent as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the support rods are arranged at the corner points of the tent.
