Tent connector and tent including the same

Abstract

Disclosed is a tent connector allowing easy assembling and dissembling of a band and a hook and having excellent rigidity and a tent including the tent connector. The tent connector includes: a band whose one end is rolled to form a ring; a hook having a hanging portion to be hung on a pole, hinges extending from both sides of the hanging portion so that both ends of the ring are inserted therein, and insert holes through which the hinges at both sides pass; and a hinge shaft inserted into the insert holes of the hook and the ring of the band and detachably coupled thereto.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A tent connector, comprising:
 a band whose one end is rolled to form a ring;   a hook having a hanging portion to be hung on a pole, hinges extending from both sides of the hanging portion so that both ends of the ring are inserted therein, and insert holes through which the hinges at both sides pass; and   a hinge shaft inserted into the insert holes of the hook and the ring of the band and detachably coupled thereto.   
     
     
         2 . The tent connector according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the detachable coupling of the hinge shaft is made by forming a jaw portion, hooked by the insert hole, and a cut groove extending in an axial direction at an end of a shaft portion of the hinge shaft, so that the jaw portion passes through the insert hole or is hooked by the insert hole after passing through the insert hole due to elastic expansion and contraction in a diameter direction through the cut groove.   
     
     
         3 . The tent connector according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the shaft portion of the hinge shaft includes a large-diameter portion put on a first insert hole of a first hinge of the hinge and the ring of the band, and a small-diameter portion put on a second insert hole of a second hinge of the hinge.   
     
     
         4 . The tent connector according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the band is made of cloth.   
     
     
         5 . The tent connector according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the band is made of an elastic material.   
     
     
         6 . A tent, comprising:
 a plurality of tent connectors, each including a band whose one end is rolled to form a ring; a hook having a hanging portion to be hung on a pole, hinges extending from both sides of the hanging portion so that both ends of the ring are inserted therein, and insert holes through which the hinges at both sides pass; and a hinge shaft inserted into the insert holes of the hook and the ring of the band and detachably coupled thereto,   wherein a side of the band of the tent connector opposite to the ring is attached to a tent cloth.   
     
     
         7 . A tent, comprising:
 an inner tent and an outer tent,   wherein a plurality of tent connectors, each including a band whose one end is rolled to form a ring; a hook having a hanging portion to be hung on a pole, hinges extending from both sides of the hanging portion so that both ends of the ring are inserted therein, and insert holes through which the hinges at both sides pass; and a hinge shaft inserted into the insert holes of the hook and the ring of the band and detachably coupled thereto, is prepared so that a side of the band opposite to the ring is attached to an outer surface of the outer tent,   wherein the inner tent and the outer tent are connected by means of an intermediate connector, and   wherein the hook of the tent connector is hung on the pole passing at the outside of the outer tent so that the outer tent and the inner tent are pulled together by the tent connector and the intermediate connector.   
     
     
         8 . The tent according to  claim 7 ,
 wherein the intermediate connector includes a band whose one end is rolled to form a ring; a hook having a hanging portion, hinges extending from both sides of the hanging portion so that both ends of the ring are inserted therein, and insert holes through which the hinges at both sides pass; and a hinge shaft inserted into the insert holes of the hook and the ring of the band and detachably coupled thereto, so that a side of the band opposite to the ring is attached to an outer surface of the inner tent, and   wherein a hanging member is attached to an inner surface of the outer tent so that the hook is hung thereon.   
     
     
         9 . The tent according to  claim 7 ,
 wherein the intermediate connector includes a hook, and a band for connecting the hook to an outer surface of the inner tent, and   wherein a hanging member for hanging the hook is attached to an inner surface of the outer tent.   
     
     
         10 . The tent according to  claim 7 ,
 wherein one end of the intermediate connector is made of a band-type member whose both ends are attached to an inner surface of the outer tent and an outer surface of the inner tent.
