Abstract

The tent can be fixed to the roof rack of a car and can be erected rapidly. A water-tight container (1) holds a telescopic metal frame (7), the canvas, a table (3) and a water reservoir (4). The tent is erected by lowering one side and sliding the frame out. The cover (3) of the container slides in runners (12) on top of the container and is held by this side. By fixing tubes in its corners, the cover can be used as a table. The frame is made up of eight telescopic tubes (26-29) and two transverse tubes (30,30) and articulates on two hinges (31).

Description

DESCRIPTION
a) Tente-galerie. DESCRIPTION
a) Gallery tent.

b) La présente invention concerne les matériels servant de logement et de mobilier dans le domaine du camping-caravaning. b) The present invention relates to equipment for housing and furniture in the field of camping-caravanning.

c) Les matériels connus de ce genre sont, soit des tentes adaptables sur le toit d'un véhicule automobile, soit des tentes adaptées sur remorque. De tels matériels sont dans le premier cas d'un emploi malaisé, et dans le deuxième cas anhilent toute possibilité de traction d'une remorque. Dans les deux cas, les dispositifs ne possèdent pas de réservoir à liquide, de mobilier (table) et ne peuvent servir comme galerie. c) Known materials of this kind are either adaptable tents on the roof of a motor vehicle, or adapted tents on trailer. Such materials are in the first case a difficult job, and in the second case anhilent any possibility of traction of a trailer. In both cases, the devices do not have a liquid tank, furniture (table) and can not serve as a gallery.

d) L'invention met à la disposition de l'utilisateur un ensemble de commodités le rendant autonome quant au logement, au mobilier (table), à l'eau (réservoir). Son montage et son démontage est simple et rapide. d) The invention makes available to the user a set of amenities making it autonomous as to housing, furniture (table), water (tank). Its assembly and disassembly is simple and fast.

Le problème des étapes pour le voyageur est résolu et de retour à son domicile, l'encombrement minimum de ce matériel, ne lui pose pas de problèmes de ran6ement. De plus, le véhicule automobile qui le transporte garde toute possibilité quant au remorquage.The problem of the steps for the traveler is solved and back home, the minimum congestion of this material, does not pose any problems of rotation. In addition, the motor vehicle that carries it keeps any possibility of towing.

e) Le dispositif, objet de l'invention, comporte un container 1 renfermant, une armature 7, une toile de tente, un réservoir 4. L'armat 7 est composée de huit tubes telescopiques 26.27.28.29 et de deux tubes transverses 30. 30 bis. (Voir PL III 1)
Le container 1 s'ouvre en deverouillant la serrure avant 8 et le fermoir arrière 13, puis en rabattant le c8te 2.e) The device, object of the invention, comprises a container 1 containing, a frame 7, a tent, a tank 4. The armature 7 is composed of eight telescopic tubes 26.27.28.29 and two transverse tubes 30. 30 bis. (See PL III 1)
The container 1 opens by unlocking the front lock 8 and the rear clasp 13, then folding the side 2.

Le couvercle 3 coulisse entre les bordures 12 qui assurent avec le rebord 10, l'étanchéité du container 1. (Voir PL 11:1 - PL Il 2)
On sort l'armature 7 en tirant sur le tube 30 bis. Les roulettes 33 glissent sur les rails G et le tube 30 butte sur les deux supports 5 que l'on a préalablement relevés.Apartir d'une réalisation de l'invention, l'articulation 31 (Voir PL IV 1 - PL IV 2) les deux pieds de l'armature pivotent pour se poser au sol* Le tube 30 est emboîté sur les créneaux choisis sur les supports 5 et la hauteur des pieds de l'armature est réglée grâce à une autre réalisation de l'invention, le système de blocage 32.(Voir PL V > La charpente de l'armatur est aussi bloquée glace ce systène 32. La toile de tente recouvre ens l'armature.La découpe de cette toile lui pernet de se fixer entre les supports 5, de recouvrir facilement l'armature et de former au sol un périmètre de forme mi-hexagonale (Voir PL I) Cette toile de tente possède porte et fenêtre, ainsi qu'une possibilité d'ouverture sur le côte jouxtant le véhicule.Des anneaux élastiques la relie par le bas aux piquets plantes dans le sol. I1 existe aussi des cordes de sécurité aux angles de la tente-galerie. Selon une autre réalisation de l'invention, le couvercle 3 peut être utilisé comme une table, les tubes 19 s'emboîtent dans les fixations 20 (Voir PL Il 4 - utilisation table) ; ou comme une galerie en emboitant les tubes coudés 18 dans les fixations 20 et en fixant le couvercle 3 sur le container 1 (Voir PL II 4 utilisation galerie).The cover 3 slides between the edges 12 which ensure with the flange 10, the tightness of the container 1. (See PL 11: 1 - PL Il 2)
We release the frame 7 by pulling on the tube 30 bis. The rollers 33 slide on the rails G and the tube 30 abuts on the two supports 5 which have been previously noted. Starting from one embodiment of the invention, the articulation 31 (see PL IV 1 - PL IV 2) the two legs of the armature pivot to land on the floor * The tube 30 is fitted on the slots chosen on the supports 5 and the height of the legs of the armature is adjusted by another embodiment of the invention, the system block 32. (See PL V> The framework of the armature is also blocked ice this system 32. The tent covers the frame.The cut of this canvas allows him to fix between the brackets 5, to cover easily the frame and form a half-hexagonal perimeter ground (See PL I) This tent has door and window, and a possibility of opening on the side adjoining the vehicle. Elastic rings connects it from the bottom to the ground stakes, there are also safety ropes the corners of the tent gallery. According to another embodiment of the invention, the lid 3 can be used as a table, the tubes 19 fit into the fasteners 20 (see PL Il 4 - use table); or as a gallery by fitting the elbow tubes 18 in the fasteners 20 and fixing the lid 3 on the container 1 (See PL II 4 use gallery).

Selon une autre réalisation de l'invention, on accède au réservoir 4, en ouvrant la porte 23 après avoir dévérouillé la serrure 25. Ce réservoir est muni d'un robinet 24 et d'un orifice de remplissage 22 (Voir PL VI) ; au robinet se fixe un tuyau caoutchouc de deux mètres environ que l'on loge au-dessus du réservoir. Ce tuyau est nanti à son extremité d'une ventouse de fixation et d'un robinet en matière plastique.According to another embodiment of the invention, the tank 4 is accessed by opening the door 23 after unlocking the lock 25. This tank is provided with a valve 24 and a filling orifice 22 (see PL VI); at the tap is attached a rubber hose of about two meters, which is lodged above the tank. This pipe is provided at its end with a suction cup and a plastic valve.

Selon une autre réalisation de l'invention, la tente-galerie peut être utilisée indépendamment du véhicule en suostituan-t aux supports 5, les pieds télescopiques 36 (Voir PL III 2). Ceux-ci vissent dans des fixation s 34, e-t leur hauteur est regelée grâce au système 32.According to another embodiment of the invention, the gallery tent can be used independently of the vehicle suostituan-t to the supports 5, the telescopic legs 36 (see PL III 2). These screw in fasteners 34, e-t their height is regelée thanks to the system 32.

L'utilisation séparée du véhicule automobile entratneobligatoirement la fixation de la tente-galerie au moyen des cordes d'angles. The separate use of the motor vehicle inevitably entails the fixing of the gallery tent by means of the corner ropes.
