- 1 Claim.
The invention relates to tent attachments for cots, particularly folding cots, and has for its object to provide a device of this kind comprising uprights, detachably connected to the end bars of the cot and having connected thereto-at their upper ends, detachably, a foldable ridge bar, over which the tent is stretched and means for attaching the edges of the tent to the cot edges.
A further object is to provide the ends of the tent with weather excluding flaps and with mosquito flaps, either of which may be used as desired.
A further object is to provide the uprights with pins extending through apertures in the ends of the ridge bar and through eyelets n the longitudinal center of the tent for holding the tent against displacement.
A further object is to provide the marginal edges of the tent with apertures for the reception of eyes carried by the sides of the cot and tabs carried by the tent edges and adapted to be passed through the eyes for holding the tent edges on the eyes.
With the above and other objects in view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings, described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the tent at tachment applied to a conventional form of cot.
Figure 2 is a perspective View of the tent frame applied to a cot.
Figure 3 is a top plan view of the tentshowing the same in a flattened condition.
Figure 4 is an enlarged side elevation of the ridge bar.
Figure 5 is a view of the ridge bar, showing the same in an intermediate condition during a folding operation.
Figure 6 is a side elevation of the ridge bar in folded or collapsed condition.
Figure '7 is a side elevation of one of the uprights.
Figure 8 is a detail perspective view of the securing means for the tent.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral I designates a conventional form of folding cot, 2 the side rails thereof and 3 the end bars. Extending upwardly from the end bars 3 intermediate their ends are uprights 4 having pins 5 which extend through apertures 6 in the end bars for supporting the uprights substantially centrally longitudinally of the cot.
The upper ends of the uprights 4 are provided with pins 1, which are received in apertures 8 of the end sections 9 of the ridge bar. The ridge bar sections 9 are connected together by link hinges III which are engaged on their upper sides by stop lugs H for maintaining the ridge bar sections in alined position as shown in Figure 2, and against downward sagging, particularly when the fabric tent I2 is stretched thereon, as shown in Figure 1. The fabric tent I2 is placed over the ridge bar and its marginal edges provided with apertures I3 which receive the eyes l4 carried by the cot frame, and after the eyes are in position the tabs l5 are passed therethrough for holding the tent securely in position and in stretched position. The upright pins I extend upwardly and through the eyes l6 carried by the tent l2, therefore the tent is longitudinally and transversely maintained in proper relation at all times, as well as the tent frame involving the uprights 4 and the foldable ridge bar. The ends of the tent l2 are provided with weather excluding flaps I1 and inner mesh flaps I8 which may be used for allowing circulation of air and excluding insects when desired.
From the above it will be seen that a tent attachment is provided for cots, which is simple in construction, may be easily placed in position and one which may be collapsed into a compact package as shown in Figures 5 and 6 for shipment and storage purposes.
The invention having been set forth what is claimed as new and useful is:
A tent frame adapted to be knocked down into a compact package, said tent frame comprising spaced uprights, a ridge bar, the ends of said ridge bar being detachably connected to the upper ends of the uprights, said ridge bar being formed from end and intermediate sections in abutting engagement with each other, links connecting the adjacent ends of the sections at points spaced from said adjacent ends, stops carried by the adjacent ends of the sections above the links and adapted to engage the links when the sections are in alined positions, said links being of suflicient length whereby one of the end sections may be folded downwardly and to a position under the intermediate section, and the other end section can be folded downwardly and upwardly into engagement with the previously mentioned folded end section to a position where the previously mentioned folded end section is received between two of the links thereby forming a compact package.
