Abstract

A firmly-fixed umbrella can be converted into a camp tent by use either of a strip (10-15 cm wide) bearing rings or of a metal or plastic frame which is sewn on the fabric of the camp tent and set on the ribs of the umbrella; the fabric, in both cases, is hanging from the above hanging means and is similarly fixed on the ground in order to create the closed space of the camp tent. Fabric rolls set at precise points of the umbrella’s roof form -when deployed- separate spaces (rooms) into the camp tent. At the removal or winding up of these fabric rolls, the system functions again as an umbrella. The fabric has a zipper-closed entrance and windows with screens potentially externally covered as well as another top screen set under the umbrella’s ribs for aeration purposes. The floor is covered with a waterproof material protecting against insects and humidity.

Description

Μετατροπή ομπρέλας σε αντίσκηνο. Converting an umbrella into a backdrop.

Περιγραφή Description

Η εφεύρεση αναφέρεται στην άμεση μετατροπή μιας ομπρέλας σε αντίσκηνο και την άμεση επαναφορά της και πάλι σε ομπρέλα, με την προϋπόθεση ότι αυτή είναι σε θέση ( έχει στερεότητα και δύναμη) να σηκώσει τις τροποποιήσεις που θα γίνουν πάνω της και οι οποίες περιγράφονται στη συνέχεια. Η ομπρέλα μπορεί να είναι οποιουδήποτε σχήματος, μεγέθους και ύψους. The invention refers to the immediate conversion of an umbrella into a counter tent and its immediate return to an umbrella, provided that it is able (it has solidity and strength) to lift the modifications that will be made on it and which are described below. The umbrella can be of any shape, size and height.

Στην περίμετρο της ομπρέλας, καθοιονδήποτε τρόπο κρεμούμε γύρω γύρω ύφασμα αντίσκηνου το οποίο κατεβαίνει μέχρι το έδαφος κάθετα ή πλάγια και στερεώνεται με ειδικά πασαλάκια ή και όχι. Το ύψος του υφάσματος αντίσκηνου είναι λίγο μεγαλύτερο από το καθαρό ύψος της ομπρέλας. ( Ως καθαρό ύψος θεωρούμε την απόσταση της περιμέτρου της ομπρέλας από το οριζόντιο έδαφος). Έτσι δημιουργείται ένας κλειστός χώρος και η ομπρέλα μετατράπηκε σε αντίσκηνο. On the perimeter of the umbrella, in any way we hang around the anti-tent fabric which goes down to the ground vertically or sideways and is fixed with special stakes or not. The height of the tarpaulin fabric is slightly greater than the net height of the umbrella. (As clear height we consider the distance of the perimeter of the umbrella from the horizontal ground). Thus a closed space is created and the umbrella turned into a backstage.

Όταν θέλουμε να επαναφέρουμε το δημιουργηθέν αντίσκηνο και πάλι σε μορφή ομπρέλας, αφού ελευθερώσουμε το ύφασμα από το έδαφος, το ανεβάζουμε όσο υψηλότερα γίνεται, περιμετρικά της ομπρέλας, όπου και το δένουμε. Έτσι το ολικό σύστημα λειτουργεί σαν ομπρέλα και ανάλογα με την επιθυμία, μετατρέπεται εύκολα και απλά σε αντίσκηνο. Το κατέβασμα και το ανέβασμα του υφάσματος αντισκήνου μπορεί να γίνεται χειροκίνητα ή με μηχανικά ή με ηλεκτρικά μέσα. When we want to restore the created tent again in the form of an umbrella, after freeing the fabric from the ground, we raise it as high as possible, around the perimeter of the umbrella, where we tie it. Thus, the entire system works like an umbrella and, depending on the desire, it can be easily and simply converted into a counter tent. The lowering and raising of the curtain fabric can be done manually or by mechanical or electrical means.

Το ύφασμα αντίσκηνου σε μια πλευρά του και προς το έδαφος έχει διαμορφωμένη είσοδο που κλείνει με φερμουάρ και σε άλλα σημεία του, σε κάποιο ύψος, έχει παράθυρα, τα οποία φέρουν σήτα, ώστε εσωτερικά να κυκλοφορεί ο αέρας. Τα παράθυρα εξωτερικά θα μπορούν να καλύπτονται, από πρόσθετο κάλυμμα. The tarp fabric on one side of it and towards the ground has a shaped entrance that closes with a zipper and at other places, at some height, it has windows, which carry a screen, so that the air circulates inside. The windows on the outside can be covered by an additional cover.

Αν η ομπρέλα είναι μεγάλη και υπάρχει περιθώριο, μπορούν να διαχωρίζονται 1, 2, ή και περισσότεροι χώροι στο εσωτερικό της, ώστε να δημιουργούνται δωμάτια. If the umbrella is large and there is room, 1, 2, or even more spaces can be separated inside it to create rooms.

Το καινοτόμο στην παρούσα εφεύρεση είναι η άμεση και απλή μετατροπή μιας ομπρέλας σταθερά τοποθετημένης, σε αντίσκηνο και η ομοίως απλή και εύκολη επαναφορά σε ομπρέλα. The innovation in the present invention is the immediate and simple conversion of a fixed umbrella into a tent and the similarly simple and easy return to an umbrella.

Το κύριο πλεονεκτήματα της εφεύρεσης είναι η εύκολη, απλή και αμφίδρομη λειτουργία της, καθώς και η δυνατότητά της να εφαρμόζεται στις ήδη υπάρχουσες ομπρέλες που είναι σταθερά τοποθετημένες. The main advantage of the invention is its easy, simple and two-way operation, as well as its ability to be applied to already existing umbrellas that are fixed.

Claims

1. An umbrella conversion system that can be fixedly placed on a counter tent, comprising:

- A band, made of any flexible, soft material, 10 - 15 cm wide, which can be tied in any way, around the umbrella and inside, where its cover ends and which has in the middle loops or a slot for installing a zipper or,

-Metal or plastic frame, similar in shape to the umbrella or circular or of any shape that can bring the desired effect, placed on the top of the umbrella, where its rays end. This frame is either sewn and integrated into the curtain fabric or the curtain fabric is integrated into it with special grommets. The frame is placed with hooks on the rays of the umbrella. Likewise at the bottom of the tent there is a similar metal or plastic frame sewn and integrated into the tent fabric or the tent fabric is incorporated into it with special grommets and which is fixed to the ground and keeps the tent stable.

-Back tent fabric, which has clips or a corresponding zipper slot on its upper edge, to be connected to the fascia or is integrated into the circular frames above and below. The fabric has on one side and towards the ground, an entrance, which closes with a zipper and on the other sides of it windows with screen, which can be covered from the outside.

The tent fabric ends at its bottom at special points for being fixed to the ground with relevant stakes and standing stretched or fixed with the built-in lower circular frame. The height of the fabric is slightly higher than the height of the umbrella.

-At the height of the umbrella's roof and in specific positions there are fabric rolls which when unrolled rest on the ground and create separate spaces within it, which spaces function as rooms. In addition, the ground can be covered with a waterproof floor to avoid moisture and the invasion of insects.

All the above components create a system that can turn an umbrella into a back tent and conversely the back tent can become an umbrella again.

2. System for converting a fixed umbrella into a tent, according to claim 1, where a flexible and soft strip of any material, 10-15cm wide, is placed on the umbrella around its perimeter, immediately under the umbrella cover. which along its entire length, in its middle and towards the inside of the umbrella, has loops or a zipper slot. The sash can be attached to the umbrella in any way. Attach the tent fabric to the loops or zipper.

3. A system for converting a fixed umbrella, into a counter tent, according to claim 1, where a metal or plastic frame is placed on the umbrella along its entire perimeter on the spokes, the same shape as the umbrella or circular or of any shape that can bring the desired effect , placed at the top of the umbrella, where its rays end. This frame is either sewn and integrated into the tent fabric or the tent fabric is integrated into it with special grommets. Claim 3 provides the same effect as the phase (claim 2). Similarly at the bottom of the tent there is a similar metal or plastic frame sewn and integrated into the tent fabric or the tent fabric is integrated into it with special grommets and which is fixed to the ground and keeps the tent stable.

4. A system for converting a fixed umbrella into a tarp according to claim 1, where a tarp fabric is attached to the loops or zipper of the fascia (claim 2) or to the metal or plastic frame (claim 3), which descends to the ground and fixed to it and which in its upper part has a screen that covers the entire roof of the umbrella, inside and under the rays of the umbrella, so that the space is ventilated and insects are not allowed to enter. The connection is made in any way. The height of the tarpaulin fabric is slightly greater than the net height of the umbrella. (Net height is the distance of the perimeter of the umbrella from the horizontal ground). The fabric of the tent ends at its lower part, where it touches the ground, in special bindings to be fixed to the ground with relevant stakes and to stand stretched or it ends in the metal, plastic frame (claim 3) which is similarly fixed to the terrain.

5. A system for converting a fixed umbrella into a tent according to claim 1, where at the height of its roof and in 1, 2 or more specific positions there are rolls of fabric which when unrolled create separate spaces within it and which spaces function as rooms.

6. A system for converting a fixed umbrella into a tent according to claim 1, wherein a floor of waterproof material is added to the ground inside the tent.
