Tent structure or sun protection structure

Abstract

The invention relates to a tent or sun protection structure ( 1 ), in which a canvas, a cloth, a fabric, a sheet or the like ( 2 ) is tensioned using at least one flexible supporting pole. In order to achieve a stable structure, the supporting pole is bent into an open or closed loop, the free ends of which ( 3′, 3 ″)are braced with the vertex area ( 5 ) of the loop—with the supporting pole including tensioned canvas being bent into a convex structure, and wherein the structure is placed on the ground with the free ends ( 3′, 3 ″) of the supporting pole ( 3 ) and the vertex area ( 5 ) of the loop and anchored there, if necessary.

1 . Tent structure or sun protection structure, wherein a canvas, a cloth, a fabric, a foil or the like is tensioned using a flexible supporting pole, characterized in that the supporting pole is bent into an open or closed loop or arch, the free ends of which are braced with the vertex area of the loop—with the supporting pole including tensioned canvas being bent into a convex structure, wherein the structure is placed on the ground with the free ends of the supporting pole and the vertex area of the loop and is anchored there, if necessary. 
     
     
         2 . Tent structure or sun protection structure according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the free ends of the supporting pole are crossed over and continue beyond the point of intersection, wherein the supporting pole sections in the intersection area are preferably fixed to one another using a connecting element. 
     
     
         3 . Tent structure or sun protection structure according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the supporting pole is divided and the individual parts are rigidly connectable, e.g. using plug connections or lockable joints, wherein the canvas is fitted, especially at the edge, with flaps, loops, hooks, tubular receiving elements or the like for the pole, and the receiving elements are preferably interrupted in the area of the pole connections. 
     
     
         4 . Tent structure or sun protection structure according to  claim 1 , characterized in that said individual pole parts and/or connecting elements are straight, curved or angled or forked or cross-shaped. 
     
     
         5 . Tent structure or sun protection structure according to  claim 1 , characterized in that preferably at about half the distance between said vertex area of said loop and said free ends of said supporting pole, one or several further flexible pole(s) is/are provided spanning above or below said loop or intersecting it, which is/are connected with said structure, if applicable, via lugs, loops, hooks, tubular receiving elements or the like provided at said canvas and is/are likewise placed on the ground with its/their free ends, wherein said free ends of this or these, resp., further pole(s) are braced with one another. 
     
     
         6 . Tent structure or sun protection structure according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the tensioning element(s) bracing said vertex area of said supporting pole with its ends, and, if applicable, the tensioning element(s) bracing said ends of said further pole or said further poles, resp., with one another, is/are adjustable in length. 
     
     
         7 . Tent structure or sun protection structure according to  claim 1 , characterized in that a particularly flexible bottom part, for example, made of fabric, foil or mat, or a floor plate, which is fitted with attachment devices for the free ends of the poles and/or the vertex area of the loop, is provided for the tensioned fixing of the free ends of the supporting pole with its vertex area and, as the case may be, also the free ends of the other pole (or the other poles). 
     
     
         8 . Tent structure or sun protection structure according to  claim 7 , characterized in that the bottom part is designed in one piece with the tarpaulin. 
     
     
         9 . The tent structure or sun protection structure according to  claim 1 , characterized in that, within said tent or sun protection structure, which preferably is designed waterproof and/or water-repellent and/or windproof, an inner tent is attachable or attached maintaining an intermediate air layer. 
     
     
         10 . Tent structure or sun protection structure according to  claim 1 , characterized in that an upper cover, which preferably is designed waterproof and/or water-repellent and/or windproof, can be fixed or is fixed above the tent structure or sun protection structure. 
     
     
         11 . Tent structure or sun protection structure according to  claim 1 , characterized in that, e.g., in said vertex area of said loop, a pocket-like space is attached to said canvas, which is in particular accessible from the inside, which can be additionally anchored to the ground.
