RAINWATER PUDDLE-PREVENTING TOOL FOR TENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent rainwater from stagnating by letting it flow down from a drain opening through a vinyl hose in sequence by attaching a drain opening at a position where rainwater is apt to stagnate on the roof of a tent and connecting the vinyl hose to the drain opening. ;SOLUTION: A hole in which a cylindrical part of an drain opening 1 comprising flange and the cylindrical part can be inserted is formed at a position on the roof of a tent where rainwater is apt to stagnate. The cylindrical part is inserted in the hole to hold the tent canvas between the upper packing 3 and the lower packing 4, and a locknut 2 is screwed in a screw part formed at the external periphery of the cylindrical part and fixedly tightened. A vinyl hose 5 is connected to the cylindrical part of the drain opening 1 and the lower end of the vinyl hose 5 is led to the ground of the outside of the tent. The drain opening 1 and the locknut 2 are made of reinforced plastic to lighten the weight and reduce the cost. In this way, rainwater stagnating on the roof of the tent can be led to flow down to the ground level through the vinyl hose 5 in sequence and hence, rainwater can be prevented from stagnating.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2000,JPO
