Cette tente est caractérisée en ce qu'elle est constituée par une tente élémentaire centrale (1) comportant une armature centrale symétrique par rapport à un axe vertical, dont la base constitue un polygone régulier à nombre de côtés pair et qui est formée d'au moins deux arceaux diamétraux identiques (9, 11) dont les extrémités inférieures sont en appui sur le sol, à l'endroit de sommets diamétralement opposés du polygone de base, et qui se croisent, en leurs milieux, au sommet (16) de l'armature centrale, sur l'axe de symétrie vertical (33'), et d'au moins quatre arceaux latéraux verticaux (15), et par au moins deux tentes latérales (2, 3, 4) s'étendant vers l'extérieur à partir d'arceaux latéraux de l'armature centrale.The present invention relates to a tent. This tent is characterized in that it is constituted by a central elementary tent (1) comprising a central frame symmetrical with respect to a vertical axis, the base of which constitutes a regular polygon with an even number of sides and which is formed of at least two identical diametrical arches (9, 11) whose lower ends are supported on the ground, at the diametrically opposite vertices of the base polygon, and which intersect, in their midst, at the top (16) of the 'central frame, on the vertical axis of symmetry (33'), and at least four vertical side poles (15), and by at least two side tents (2, 3, 4) extending outwards from lateral arches of the central frame.

Description

La présente invention concerne une tente comprenant une armature formée par des arceaux dont les extrémités inférieures reposent sur le sol, et une toile tendue sur cette armature.The present invention relates to a tent comprising a frame formed by poles whose lower ends rest on the ground, and a canvas stretched over this frame.

On connaît déjà des tentes dites tentes tunnel dont l'armature est constituée d'arceaux flexibles parallèles. Certaines de ces tentes, ainsi que décrit dans le brevet FR-A-2 189 594 comportent une structure constituée d'arceaux articulés à leur base sur un cadre et sont rendus solidaires de la toile laquelle, une fois tendue, maintient seule lesdits arceaux en position voulue. Si une telle structure présente l'avantage d'être d'une mise en place faible, elle n'est par contre ni d'une grande stabilité ni d'une grande résistance au vent.We already know tents called tunnel tents whose frame is made up of parallel flexible poles. Some of these tents, as described in patent FR-A-2,189,594 have a structure made up of poles articulated at their base on a frame and are made integral with the canvas which, once stretched, maintains said poles alone desired position. If such a structure has the advantage of being weakly placed, it is neither very stable nor very resistant to wind.

On connaît également par le modèle d'utilité DE-U-8 807 891 des tentes du type dont les armatures sont constituées d'arceaux croisés qui sont recourbés au moment du montage de la tente et dont les extrémités inférieures sont reliées l'une à l'autre pour que l'arceau une fois monté conserve sa forme courbe. Les arceaux de l'armature qui ont les mêmes dimensions ou des dimensions différentes, définissent la forme extérieure de la tente. Pour la liaison entre les arceaux qui sont situés à l'extérieur de la toile de tente, et cette même toile de tente, celle-ci est pourvue, aux endroits où doivent être mis en place les arceaux, de gaines dans lesquelles sont enfilés les arceaux et qui assurent la suspension de la toile de tente aux arceaux, une fois celle-ci tendue.Also known from the utility model DE-U-8 807 891 are tents of the type whose frames are made up of crossed poles which are bent when the tent is erected and whose lower ends are connected one to the other. the other so that the arch once assembled retains its curved shape. The poles of the frame, which have the same dimensions or different dimensions, define the external shape of the tent. For the connection between the poles which are located outside the tent canvas, and this same tent canvas, the latter is provided, at the places where the poles are to be placed, with sheaths in which the poles and which ensure the suspension of the tent canvas to the poles, once it is stretched.

La présente invention concerne des perfectionnements apportés à ce type de tente dans le but d'augmenter sensiblement sa capacité d'accueil et de la subdiviser en différentes zones utilisées à des fins différentes et communiquant les unes avec les autres.The present invention relates to improvements made to this type of tent with the aim of increasing significantly its capacity and to subdivide it into different areas used for different purposes and communicating with each other.

A cet effet cette tente comprenant une armature constituée par des arceaux dont les extrémités inférieures reposent sur le sol et une toile tendue sur cette armature, est caractérisée en ce qu'elle est constituée par une tente élémentaire centrale comportant une armature centrale symétrique par rapport à un axe vertical, dont la base constitue un polygone régulier à nombre de côtés pair et qui est formée d'au moins deux arceaux diamétraux identiques dont les extrémités inférieures sont en appui sur le sol, à l'endroit de sommets diamétralement opposés du polygone de base, et qui se croisent, en leurs milieux, au sommet de l'armature centrale, sur l'axe de symétrie vertical, et d'au moins quatre arceaux latéraux verticaux, les deux extrémités inférieures de chacun de ces arceaux latéraux étant en appui sur le sol respectivement à l'endroit de deux sommets voisins du polygone de base, si bien que chaque arceau latéral est contenu dans un plan vertical passant par un côté du polygone de base, et par au moins deux tentes latérales s'étendant vers l'extérieur à partir d'arceaux latéraux de l'armature centrale.For this purpose this tent comprising a frame constituted by poles whose lower ends rest on the ground and a canvas stretched over this frame, is characterized in that it is constituted by a central elementary tent comprising a central frame symmetrical with respect to a vertical axis, the base of which forms a regular polygon with an even number of sides and which is formed of at least two identical diametrical arches whose lower ends are supported on the ground, at the diametrically opposite vertices of the polygon of base, and which cross, in their midst, at the top of the central frame, on the vertical axis of symmetry, and at least four vertical lateral arches, the two lower ends of each of these lateral arches being supported on the ground respectively at the location of two neighboring vertices of the base polygon, so that each lateral arch is contained in a vertical plane pass ant by one side of the base polygon, and by at least two side tents extending outwards from lateral poles of the central frame.

La présente invention permet ainsi de constituer un véritable réseau de tentes associées, par mise en commun d'arceaux latéraux soit avec des arceaux latéraux de tentes identiques soit avec des arceaux de tentes de type "tunnel".The present invention thus makes it possible to constitute a true network of associated tents, by sharing lateral poles either with lateral poles of identical tents or with poles of "tunnel" type tents.

On décrira ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de la présente invention, en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel:

  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une tente suivant l'invention.
  • La figure 2 est une vue en élévation partielle de la tente de figure 1, prise dans l'axe de la tente tunnel latérale médiane.
  • La figure 3 est une vue en perspective de l'armature centrale de la tente.
  • La figure 4 est une vue en perspective, à plus grande échelle, de la partie supérieure de la tente centrale.
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a tent according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a partial elevation view of the tent of Figure 1, taken in the axis of the median side tunnel tent.
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the central frame of the tent.
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view, on a larger scale, of the upper part of the central tent.

Sur les figures 1 à 4 est représentée une tente suivant l'invention laquelle est constituée, dans cette forme d'exécution particulière non limitative, d'une tente centrale 1 à laquelle sont raccordées, par exemple, trois tentes latérales 2,3,4, les deux tentes latérales 2,3 s'étendant suivant un même axe, de part et d'autre de la tente centrale 1, la troisième tente latérale ou tente médiane 4 s'étendant d'un côté de la tente centrale 1, suivant un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe des deux tentes latérales 2,3. Ces tentes latérales peuvent être de n'importe quel type connu à arceaux et dans l'exemple décrit il s'agit de tentes du type "tunnel".In Figures 1 to 4 is shown a tent according to the invention which consists, in this particular non-limiting embodiment, of a central tent 1 to which are connected, for example, three side tents 2,3,4 , the two side tents 2,3 extending along the same axis, on either side of the central tent 1, the third side tent or middle tent 4 extending on one side of the central tent 1, according to an axis perpendicular to the axis of the two side tents 2,3. These side tents can be of any known type with poles and in the example described they are tents of the "tunnel" type.

La tente centrale 1 a une structure qui est symétrique par rapport à un axe vertical zz′. Dans cette forme d'exécution la tente centrale 1 a quatre côtés et elle présente par conséquent une symétrie d'ordre 4 autour de l'axe vertical zz′. Son armature est constituée par divers arceaux qui prennent appui sur le sol, à leurs extrémités inférieures, à l'endroit des sommets 5,6,7,8 du carré qui constitue le polygone de base de la tente centrale 1. Cette armature comprend deux arceaux verticaux diamétraux 9 et 11 sensiblement de même forme et quatre arceaux latéraux 12,13,14,15 de même forme dont les extrémités inférieures sont situées respectivement à l'endroit des sommets 5,6,7,8 du carré de base. Tous les arceaux sont constitués par des tiges flexibles qui sont cambrées de manière à présenter la courbure appropriée au moment du montage de la tente, ou bien encore par des segments d'arceaux tubulaires emboîtés les uns dans les autres.The central tent 1 has a structure which is symmetrical about a vertical axis zz ′. In this embodiment the central tent 1 has four sides and therefore has a symmetry of order 4 around the vertical axis zz ′. Its frame is made up of various poles which bear on the ground, at their lower ends, at the place of the vertices 5, 6, 7, 8 of the square which constitutes the basic polygon of the central tent 1. This frame comprises two vertical diametral hoops 9 and 11 substantially the same shape and four lateral arches 12,13,14,15 of the same shape, the lower ends of which are located respectively at the points 5,6,7,8 of the base square. All the poles are made up of flexible rods which are arched so as to have the appropriate curvature when the tent is erected, or else by segments of tubular poles nested one inside the other.

L'arceau diamétral 9 s'étend dans un plan vertical passant par les sommets opposés 5 et 7 du carré de base, c'est-à-dire par l'une des diagonales du carré, tandis que l'autre arceau diamétral 11 passe par les sommets opposés 6 et 8 du carré de base et contenant donc l'autre diagonale du carré. Ces arceaux se croisent au sommet 16 de la tente, en passant l'un au-dessus de l'autre, et ils sont engagés dans des fourreaux 17 solidaires de la toile 18 de la tente centrale 1, au-dessus de celle-ci comme il est représenté d'une manière plus détaillée sur la figure 4, si bien que la toile 18 de la tente centrale 1 est suspendue aux fourreaux 17.The diametral arch 9 extends in a vertical plane passing through the opposite vertices 5 and 7 of the base square, that is to say by one of the diagonals of the square, while the other diametral arch 11 passes by the opposite vertices 6 and 8 of the base square and therefore containing the other diagonal of the square. These poles cross at the top 16 of the tent, passing one above the other, and they are engaged in sheaths 17 integral with the fabric 18 of the central tent 1, above the latter. as shown in more detail in FIG. 4, so that the fabric 18 of the central tent 1 is suspended from the sleeves 17.

Les quatre arceaux latéraux 12, 13, 14, 15 s'étendent dans des plans verticaux passant respectivement par les quatre côtés du carré de base. De ce fait les deux extrémités inférieures de l'arceau latéral 12 sont situées aux sommets 5 et 6 du carré de base, les deux extrémités inférieures de l'arceau latéral 13 sont situées aux sommets 6 et 7 de ce carré, les deux extrémités inférieures de l'arceau latéral 14 sont situées aux sommets 7 et 8 et les deux extrémités inférieures de l'arceau latéral 15 sont situées aux deux sommets 8 et 5.The four lateral arches 12, 13, 14, 15 extend in vertical planes passing respectively through the four sides of the base square. Therefore the two lower ends of the lateral arch 12 are located at the vertices 5 and 6 of the base square, the two lower ends of the lateral arch 13 are located at the vertices 6 and 7 of this square, the two lower ends of the lateral arch 14 are located at the vertices 7 and 8 and the two lower ends of the lateral arch 15 are located at the two vertices 8 and 5.

Les toiles des tentes latérales 2,3,4, sont raccordées à la tente centrale 1, à l'endroit des arceaux latéraux 12, 13, 14, 15 qui servent ainsi de points de départ de ces tentes. Dans la forme d'exécution non limitative représentée la tente tunnel latérale 2 se raccorde à l'arceau 15, la tente tunnel latérale opposée 3 se raccorde à l'arceau 13 et la tente tunnel médiane 4 se raccorde à l'arceau 14.The fabrics of the side tents 2,3,4, are connected to the central tent 1, at the location of the side poles 12, 13, 14, 15 which thus serve as starting points for these tents. In the nonlimiting embodiment shown, the lateral tunnel tent 2 is connected to the arch 15, the opposite lateral tunnel tent 3 is connected to the arch 13 and the middle tunnel tent 4 is connected to the arch 14.

On voit donc, d'après la description qui précède, qu'une fois montée la tente suivant l'invention comprend plusieurs zones distinctes communiquant entre elles et pouvant servir à des fins différentes. La tente centrale 1 peut constituer, par exemple, une zone de réunion ou de restauration alors que les tentes latérales 2,3,4 forment des lieux de couchage.It can therefore be seen from the above description that, once the tent according to the invention has been erected, it comprises several separate zones which communicate with each other and which can be used for different purposes. The central tent 1 can constitute, for example, a meeting or catering area while the side tents 2,3,4 form sleeping places.

Il est possible de concevoir de nombreuses variantes d'exécution de la tente qui a été décrite. Par exemple la tente centrale 1 peut avoir une symétrie d'un ordre pair quelconque et sa base peut être constituée, par exemple, par un hexagone régulier, un octogone régulier etc...It is possible to design numerous variants of the tent which has been described. For example the central tent 1 can have a symmetry of any even order and its base can be constituted, for example, by a regular hexagon, a regular octagon etc ...

Il est également possible de raccorder les tentes latérales, telles que les tentes 2,3,4, à d'autres tentes du même type ou à d'autres tentes du type de la tente centrale 1. On peut obtenir ainsi un réseau maillé dont les noeuds sont constitués par les tentes centrales 1 et les éléments de liaison sont constitués par les tentes latérales. On peut également accoler plusieurs tentes centrales 1 et les raccorder le long de leurs arceaux latéraux, de manière à augmenter l'étendue de la zone centrale de la tente.It is also possible to connect the side tents, such as the 2,3,4 tents, to other tents of the same type or to other tents of the type of the central tent 1. A mesh network can thus be obtained of which the nodes are formed by the central tents 1 and the connecting elements are constituted by the side tents. It is also possible to attach several central tents 1 and connect them along their lateral poles, so as to increase the extent of the central zone of the tent.

On peut également raccorder à un ou plusieurs arceaux latéraux de la tente centrale uniquement une toile s'étendant jusqu'au sol et formant une abside.You can also connect to one or more side poles of the central tent only a canvas extending to the ground and forming an apse.

Dans une variante intéressante de l'invention, représentée sur la figure 5, les extrémités convergentes des arceaux sont maintenues par un élément de liaison rigide ou souple. Cet élément de liaison qui est disposé suivant chacun des côtés du polygone régulier constituant la base de l'armature joue d'une part un rôle de maintien des arceaux les empêchant de s'écarter l'un de l'autre et, d'autre part, un rôle de rigidification de la structure.In an interesting variant of the invention, shown in FIG. 5, the converging ends of the arches are held by a rigid or flexible connecting element. This connecting element which is arranged along each of the sides of the regular polygon constituting the base of the frame plays on the one hand a role of maintaining the arches preventing them from moving away from each other and, on the other hand part, a role of stiffening of the structure.

Sur la figure 5 les éléments de liaison sont constitués de sangles 20 dont chacune des extrémités est pourvue de deux trous, respectivement destinés à recevoir une extrémité d'un arceau diamétral 11, et une extrémité d'un arceau latéral 14 ou 15.In FIG. 5, the connecting elements consist of straps 20, each of the ends of which is provided with two holes, respectively intended to receive one end of a diametral arch 11, and one end of a lateral arch 14 or 15.

Bien entendu les éléments de liaison pourraient également être disposés suivant la verticale des arceaux diamétraux, et pour ce faire chacune des sangles 20 serait alors pourvue à chacune de ses extrémités de trois trous destinés à recevoir les extrémités respectives de deux arceaux latéraux 14, 15 et d'un arceau diamétral 11.Of course, the connecting elements could also be arranged along the vertical of the diametrical arches, and to do this each of the straps 20 would then be provided at each of its ends with three holes intended to receive the respective ends of two lateral arches 14, 15 and of a diametral arch 11.

Les sangles 20 peuvent également servir à assurer la fixation de la toile de tente 28 sur les arceaux diamétraux et latéraux.The straps 20 can also be used to secure the tent 28 on the diametrical and lateral poles.
