As shown, the invention is embodied in a tent having a roof 10 and side walls 11.
The side walls are preferably formed sepa rable at the corners and provided with closely spaced eyelets for lacings 12.
In view of the heavy service which the tent is designed to withstand, the eyelets 13 in the bottom of the side walls and the eye lets 14: at the eaves of the tent are spaced substantially one-half the usual distance.
As shown at 15, Fig. 8, the roof of the tent is brought down and turned under, en-- closing the edges of the side walls, and stitching, as well as the eyelets 14, is utilized to hold the parts in position. The eaves are made wider than is usual in tents of this class to give ample space for the eyelets and to, in some measure, protect the side walls of the tent.
To provide a door in the tent, a narrow wall member 16 is provided adjacent one corner of the tent, which member is laced to the adjacent side wall in the same manner as are the remaining corners of the tent. This member 16 is provided with a row of eyelets 17 in its free edge. A door flap 18 of the desired width is provided to fill the door opening between the wall member 16 and the wall member 19, which latter wall member has eyelets 20 corresponding to the eyelets 17. a a
The door member 18 is formed of sufficient width to provide a generous lap upon the adjacent wall members. whereby a tight joint may be made and lacings 21-22 may be passed through the eyelets in the door and in the wall members 16 and 19 and also about frame members 2324 placed at each side of the door opening. It is preferred to secure the door flap to the side walls a substantial distance below the eaves of the tent whereby the side wall of the tent, in which the door is placed, may be continuous at the eaves, the upper edge of the door flap, together with the upper edge of the wall members 16 and 19 being turned into the cave member.
A hem 25 is turned in the bottom edge of the door flap and a stick is preferably placed in this hem to provide a weight for the bottom edge of the door as well as for convenience in rolling up the door. To hold the door in rolled-open position. there are shown straps, one pair of which. 26, is shown provided with snaps 27 and the remaining pair,
28, provided with rings 29 for engagement by the snaps when the door is rolled open.
though rawhide or resistant fabric material may be utilized. A- metal ring 31 is provided, about which the canvas 32 of the tent roof, with the reinforcement 30, is turned, the edge of the reinforcement terminating at 33. Stitching 34" is then passed through the multiple thickness of the roof and rein 'forcement, thus constricting the opening in the ring 31 to such an extent as to form a tight fit with the pin shown in dotted lines at 35,=Fig. 7., I I v The corners of the roof are shown as re inforce'd b 'intsrie iy placed strips of heavy tape at" 36,and triple rows of stitching are utilized tofas'ten the parts together The tent is designed to be erected upon a frame of suitable iiiz'iteria'l, as seaiitling, preferably; placed upon a' floor. To rest upon the corner of the frame and take the consequent wear reinforcement at the corner is shown iii the form of sheet of liiatei'ial 37, which may bet he same material utilized at '30, and preferably is of a good grade of leather. This lil ltel'ltll', which may bean integral sheet of i i-atei'ial, each corner; is secured to the roof member by rows of stitching 38l39, is turned into the eaves asat 40,: and is secured to adjacent side walls by stitching l;"1-42. There is thus formed a pocket-shaped corner, inte riorlylined with the reinforcing material,
and which will thereby iit neatly upon the frame members indicated 43, Fig, 3.
To providejf' or the passing ofa stovepipe through the tentwall, a 'pocli'et is formed by means of an interiorly placedsheet ofn'iaterial 44:, as shown in Fig; 9, stitched at its bottom and lateral edges to the wall of the tent adjacent the eaves. Registering openings are formed in the wall of the, tent, and in the sheet 4st, which are considerably in ex cess of the size of the pipe which is pass, and which is indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 9t; 'lheedg es of the openings in the sheet; i l, and in the wall of the tent are bound, as shown at 1'5, Fig. 8.
'l 'hold the pipe in spaced i'elati edges of the openings and heat insulated therefrom, a" sheet of material 46, may be slipped int'o thle' pocket formed with an opening 47; closely fitting the pipe to be used; Preferably a plurality of openings is formed when the tent is constricted, two
being shown in Fig. 1.
In the event that but one" stove is to be set I up, or: none at all, the openings not wanted a sheet 46 is formed.
may be closed by a solid piece of material 48 suchas showi in 10, which need not be of the fireproof material of which the The bottoin edge of, the tent walls, as well asthat ofthe door 18', are preferably on to the reinforced by an added strip ofmaterial 49 stitched to the edge of the canvas and having its bottom edge enclosed in'tlie hem thereof. This strip of material will assist in resisting the strain upon the eyelets which are passed through the hem and the reinforcing strip. a
If it is desired to'erectthe tent without a frame, guy ropes may be passed through the eyelets in the eaves of the tent and fastened to pegs in the well known manner.
It" will be obvious that the bottom edges of the tent may be pegged to the ground by means of ropes passed through the eyelets 13 if no floor is to be provided;
I- claim: v s
