Abstract
A tent includes a fabric enclosure including a plurality of walls and a floor defining a floor perimeter. Each wall is coupled to the floor at a joining seam positioned at a vertical distance with respect to a ground plane. A skirt is coupled to each wall at the joining seam and extends external to the floor perimeter.
Claims24
A tent comprising:
- a fabric enclosure including a plurality of walls and a tub floor defining a floor perimeter, the tub floor comprising a floor panel horizontal to a ground plane and a plurality of side panels extending vertically from the floor perimeter, each wall of said plurality of walls coupled to a respective side panel of said plurality of side panels at a joining seam positioned at a vertical distance with respect to the ground plane;
- and
- a skirt separate from said plurality of walls and said tub floor, said skirt including an edge that is directly coupled to said joining seam between said plurality of walls and said tub floor, said skirt extending toward the ground plane.
A tent comprising:
- a fabric enclosure including a plurality of walls and a tub floor defining a floor perimeter, the tub floor comprising a floor panel horizontal to a ground plane and a plurality of side panels extending vertically from the floor perimeter, each wall of said plurality of walls coupled to a respective side panel of said plurality of side panels at a joining seam positioned at a first vertical distance with respect to the ground plane;
- and
- a separate skirt including an edge that is directly coupled to each wall at a second vertical distance greater with respect to the ground plane than said first vertical distance, said skirt external to said floor perimeter, wherein said second vertical distance is below a middle portion of each wall of said plurality of walls.
A tent comprising:
- a fabric enclosure forming a plurality of walls and a tub floor defining a floor perimeter, the tub floor comprising a floor panel horizontal to a ground plane and a plurality of side panels extending vertically from the floor perimeter, each wall of said plurality of walls coupled to a respective side panel of said plurality of side panels at a joining seam positioned at a vertical distance with respect to the ground plane;
- and
- a hidden floor construction comprising at least one skirt separate from said plurality of walls and said tub floor, said at least one skirt directly coupled to said joining seam, said at least one skirt extending directly from between a respective said wall and said tub floor.
A tent comprising:
- a fabric enclosure forming a plurality of walls and a tub floor defining a floor perimeter, the tub floor comprising a floor panel horizontal to a ground plane and a plurality of side panels extending vertically from the floor perimeter, each wall of said plurality of walls coupled to a respective side panel of said plurality of side panels at a joining seam positioned at a first vertical distance with respect to the ground plane;
- and
- a hidden floor construction comprising at least one separate skirt directly coupled to each wall at a second vertical distance greater with respect to said ground plane than said first vertical distance, wherein said second vertical distance is below a middle portion of each wall of said plurality of walls.
A tent comprising:
- a fabric enclosure including a plurality of walls and a tub floor, the tub floor comprising a floor panel horizontal to a ground plane and a plurality of side panels extending vertically from the floor perimeter, each wall of said plurality of walls coupled to a respective side panel of said plurality of side panels at a joining seam positioned at a vertical distance with respect to the ground plane;
- and
- a skirt separate from said plurality of walls and said tub floor, said skirt directly coupled to said joining seam, said skirt extending directly from between a respective said wall and said tub floor at the joining seam.
A tent comprising:
- a fabric enclosure including a plurality of walls and a tub floor, the tub floor comprising a floor panel horizontal to a ground plane and a plurality of side panels extending vertically from the floor perimeter, each wall of said plurality of walls coupled to a respective side panel of said plurality of side panels at a joining seam positioned at a vertical distance with respect to the ground plane;
- and
- a skirt separate from said plurality of walls and said tub floor, a portion of said skirt positioned directly between said floor and at least one of said plurality of walls at the joining seam.
A tent comprising:
- a fabric enclosure including a plurality of walls and a tub floor, the tub floor comprising a floor panel horizontal to a ground plane and a plurality of side panels extending vertically from the floor perimeter, each wall of said plurality of walls coupled to a respective side panel of said plurality of side panels at a joining seam positioned at a vertical distance with respect to the ground plane;
- and
- a skirt separate from said plurality of walls and said tub floor, said skirt extending directly from said joining seam, said skirt extending external to a stake loop coupled to said tub floor.
A tent comprising:
- a fabric enclosure including a plurality of walls and a tub floor, the tub floor comprising a floor panel horizontal to a ground plane and a plurality of side panels extending vertically from the floor perimeter, each wall of said plurality of walls coupled to a respective side panel of said plurality of side panels at a joining seam positioned at a vertical distance with respect to the ground plane;
- and
- a skirt separate from said plurality of walls and said tub floor, said skirt directly attached at said joining seam, said skirt extending external to a stake loop coupled to said tub floor.
