Auto-erecting tent

摘要

The auto-erecting tent is a tent structure in which corners of said tent include automated telescoping members that work simultaneously to extend and retract thereby erecting or lower the tent as needed. Each of the telescoping members includes a motor that drives the telescoping member to extent and retract as needed. The tent is square or rectangular across a floor surface, and telescoping members are located at each corner of the floor surface. Two telescoping members are provided at a first edge, and are connected via a first lateral member whereas the remaining two telescoping members are connected via a second lateral member. A top, telescoping brace attaches to the first lateral member and the second lateral member in order to support a roof surface of the tent.

主权项

1. An auto-erecting tent:
a floor surface, a roof surface, a first side surface, a second side surface, a third side surface, and a fourth side surface; wherein a telescoping member is located at each corner of the tent in order to erect and lower the tent as needed; wherein the floor surface is bordered with the first side surface, the second side surface, the third side surface, and the fourth side surface; wherein the roof surface is bordered with the first side surface, the second side surface, the third side surface, and the fourth side surface; wherein the first side surface is positioned between the fourth side surface and the second side surface; wherein the second side surface is positioned between the third side surface and the first side surface; wherein the third side surface is positioned between the second side surface and the fourth side surface; wherein the fourth side surface is positioned between the third side surface and the first side surface; wherein the floor surface and the roof surface are either square or rectangular; wherein the roof surface is a smaller scale of the floor surface such that the tent is a trapezoidally-shaped object when fully erected; wherein a top, first edge and a top, second edge are opposite one another with respect to the roof surface; wherein the telescoping members are each affixed to the floor surface, and extend and retract simultaneously in order to raise and lower the roof surface; wherein the roof surface is raised to form a flat roof surface that is parallel with respect to the floor surface; wherein the telescoping members each include a motor that extends and retracts the telescoping member; wherein the telescoping member is further defined with a base telescoping member from which a second telescoping member extends from and retracts into; wherein the telescoping members each include a pivot ball that connects to the floor surface, and which enables the telescoping member to fold flat when fully retracted.
