Pole connector of tent
The present invention provides a pole connector of tent comprising a pulling ring located on the bottom of the tent, and a cotter chained on the pulling ring, wherein, an elastic piece is pre-set upon the bottom end of the pole for holding the cotter in. In assembling, just need to plug the cotters separately into the elastic pieces pre-set on the insides of the both ends of the pole, or between the elastic pieces and the insides of the pole, due to the elastic force of the elastic piece, the cotters are held in tightly to locate a pole, so that only one person can handle it easily.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a tent, and more particularly to a connector used for connecting the pole to the bottom of main body of tent.
2. Description of Prior Art
In accordance with the conventional tent, as shown in
On the other hand, due to the inner-clamping joint, as assembling or disassembling, the inside of bottom end of the pole 2′ is worn out by the inner-clamping cotter 12′ during a certain long time, so that the inner-clamping cotter 12′ can not catch up in place.
OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
-
- It is therefore a main object of the present invention to provide a new improved connector, which can simplify the assembling process so that only one person can do it any way.
This object is achieved by a following resolution provided by the present invention: a bottom pole connector of tent includes a pulling ring of the tent main body, a cotter chaining with the pulling ring and an elastic piece pre-set on the inside of the bottom end of the pole, as assembling, just need to plug the cotter into the inside the elastic piece, or between the elastic piece and the inside wall of the bottom end of the pole, by the elastic force of the elastic piece, the cotter is to catch up tightly.
For preventing the elastic piece from sliding into the inside deeply, a locating device is needed for the pole.
Said elastic piece is a spring leaf at least with one elastic foot.
Said elastic piece is an elastic sleeve with a retaining hole made of elastic material, therein said retaining hole is smaller than the cotter, meanwhile for increasing the friction force the inner surface of the retaining hole is treated into some crowning.
In practicing, due to employing the elastic piece pre-set at inside of the bottom end of the pole, as assembling, just need to plug the cotter into the inside the elastic piece, or between the elastic piece and the inside wall of the bottom end of the pole, by the elastic force of the elastic piece, the cotter is to catch up tightly, in this case, only one person can handle it easily.
On the other hand, due to the clamping force of the elastic piece, even if any wear happens, the restoring force of the elastic piece will also catch up tightly without any loose.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring to
The main body 1 has pulling rings 11 attached on the bottom side, on each pulling ring 111 there is a plug head 12 in one whole, or an individual cotter 12 chained on the pulling ring, as shown in drawings; an elastic piece 3 is pre-set upon the inside of the bottom end of the pole 2; and the cotter 12 is used in launching into the elastic piece 3.
In assembling, just need to plug the cotters 12 separately into the elastic pieces 3 pre-set on the insides of the both ends of the pole 2, or between the elastic pieces 3 and the insides of the pole 2, due to the elastic force of the elastic piece 3, the cotters 12 are held in tightly to locate a pole 2, so that only one person can handle it easily.
Referring to
For preventing the elastic piece 12 from sliding into the inside deeply, a locating device is needed for the pole 2, as shown in
Referring to
Of cause, said elastic sleeve 3″ is also replaced by a bended rectangle elastic sheet located on the bottom end of the pole 2 to get same function.
Claims
1. A pole connector of tent comprising a pulling ring located on the bottom of the tent, and a cotter chained on the pulling ring, wherein, an elastic piece is pre-set upon the bottom end of the pole for holding the cotter in.
2. A pole connector of tent as claimed in claim 1, wherein said pole has locating device built on the inside for preventing the elastic piece from sliding in deeply.
3. A pole connector of tent as claimed in claim 1, wherein said elastic piece is a spring leaf at least with one elastic foot.
4. A pole connector of tent as claimed in claim 1, wherein said elastic piece is a spring leaf at least with one elastic foot.
5. A pole connector of tent as claimed in claim 4, wherein said elastic piece is an elastic sleeve with a retaining hole made of elastic material, therein said retaining hole is smaller than the cotter.
6. A pole connector of tent as claimed in claim 4, wherein for increasing the friction force the inner surface of the retaining hole is treated into some crowning.
