Abstract
A tent is designed for use in the air, connected at its vertices to trees or the like. The tent is further designed with enough support from an independent support structure to create a shelter there-in while in the air or on the ground. Further, the tent is built atop a floating mat or base. In order to provide enough strength to the base that it can be used to float the entire tent or hold the tent airborne, straps extend from each vertex of the mat through a central portal and connect back to themselves. From these straps, loops are further created to attach the tent, by way of the loops, to trees while the entirety of the mat is buoyant enough to hold the tent and people there-in afloat.
Claims19
A land, water, and air tent, comprising:
- a triangular flotation device with a triangular portal centrally located there-within;
- a strap extending around each vertex of said triangular flotation device and around each vertex of said triangular portal;
- a triple female connector mounted to each said strap;
- a skeletal frame formed by poles extending between each triple female connector and at least one additional connector spaced apart from triangular flotation device.
A land, water, and air tent comprising:
- a flotation device surrounded by a cover;
- re-enforcing straps extending around each vertex of said flotation device and said cover;
- an inner tent, which is said cover or a separate tent, extending around a bottom of said flotation device and upwards from said flotation device, supported by rigid poles;
- a connector attached to each of said re-enforcing straps, wherein said rigid poles are connected to said connectors and extended away from said flotation device;
- further connectors holding said inner tent to said rigid poles;
- wherein said re-enforcing straps double back on themselves at their respective ends, forming a triple layer of material and a loop, said loop of each said re-enforcing strap being at a corner of said flotation device.
