WALL TENT App1icati cn filed September 6, 1930. Serial No. 480,091.
This invention relates to tents and an object is to produce a tent in which certain walls may be unfas'tened and thrown back and ad'- ditional walls of foraminous'material are associated with the separable walls inl order to keep out insects,etc., fromthe inside and permit free circulation ofair and a substantially unimpaired outlook when the separa- Another objectis to provide a cover'wall for the topwall of a tent which may be of stronger material than the top .wall and, when spread over the top wall, may be'fastened in such manner that the strain of the guyropes of the tentis transmitted to the coverwall instead ofto theweaker top wall.
Further objects will hereinafter appear and by way 'of illustration, an embodiment of the invention is .shown' on the accompanying drawings, in which- I if Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspect ve v ew of a tent embod. ng my invention;
Figure 2 isa ra ent'ary side elevation of the tent showili'g t e c ver ll' n n and Y a Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail view: showing the detachable connection between the hook on the guy ropes and the cover wall.
The illustrated embodimentof the invention comprises a wall tent consisting of side walls 1, top walls 2 and front wall 3 of net material, such as bobbinet, reinforced by canvas strips 4. The edges are also reinforced by canvas strips 5 and the jointure between the top and side walls is reinforced by canvas strips 6, to which are connected the usual guy ropes 7 extending through eyes 8 in the jointure strips 6. A longitudinally disposed canvas strip (not shown) extends across the ridge of the tent and is provided with eyes to receive the usual supporting poles 9. As shown, the front wall 3 of'the tent is covered by a canvas outer wall 10, which is suitably sewed to'the adjacent reinforcing can vas strips 5.
Extending over the top walls'2 of the tent is a cover wall 11 which may be of relatively heavy waterproof canvas. The cover wall 11 is connected to the ridge strip of top walls 2 by lines of stitching 12, the remaining sides circulation and sunlight. A overcomes the objections to the tents generally in use and constitutes a valuable adbeingseparable from the top walls 2 so that I either or both portions of the cover wall 11 may be rolled up or thrown'back. For example, one or both portions of the cover wall 11 maybe proppedout by poles 12.
Since the top walls2 are of relatively weak material, it is desirable that the strain of the guy ropes The transmitted to the cover Wall 11 whenthe latter is in place, in order to strengthen the structure. For this reason, hooks 13 are slipped over the guy ropes 7 and are adapted to receive rings 14: connected" by tabs 15 to the under side of the cover wallll. By slipping the rings 14 over the hooks 13 the strain of the guy ropes 7 is imparted to the cover wall 11. The hooks 13 maybe suitablyconnected to the guy ropes 7 ,but are preferably fixed in the desired position, so that the strain of the guy ropes may be transmitted through the hooks to the 7 the side walls l'ofa tent and, as shown in Fig. 2, these may be rolled up and held by suitable ties 19 depending from the j ointure strip 6. Q It is apparent that .with this tent cover walls 11 and 18 may be rolledup or thrown back; butthe remaining walls of foraminous material are-effective for keeping out insects and other disturbing elements, and
afford freelcirculation of air throughout the tent, as-'Well as give a substantially unimpaired outlooktfrom the inside of the tent. This is'considered an important advantage over the ordinary canvaswall tent, which is well-known to become extremely uncomfortable on the inside from. the lack of proper This invention vanceinthearti "The cover walls provide ladequate'protection against the elements and :also enhance the. strength of the tent when fastened in place, since the straino f theguy 'ro'pes 'i's' in-themain transmitted to the outer or cover wall, thereby relieving the strain from the foraminous top walls. It should be observed, however, that the guy ropes 7 are so connected that the strain is not transmitted directly to the foraminous material, but through the reinforcing or strengthening strips 4', 5 and 6.
It is to be understood that numerous changes in details of construction, arrangement of choiceof materials may be effected without departing from the spirit of the invention, especially as defined in the appended claims.
hat I claim is: V V V 1. A tent havin top and side walls, guy ropes extending fiom the jointure of said walls, a cover wall for said top wall but separate therefrom on three sides, a connection between the upper edge of said cover and said top walls, and detachable fastening means on said guy ropes for connecting said cover wall thereto, thereby to transfer a portion of the strain from said top wall to said cover wall, when the latter is connected to said guy ropes.
2.
