Camping tent with improved ventilation

Abstract

The tent ( 1 ) according to the invention comprises a frame supporting: an inner wall ( 3 ) defining with a groundsheet ( 5 ) a room, the inner wall having in its upper part an air-permeable zone ( 7 ), and an outer wall ( 2 ) superposed on the inner wall ( 3 ) and defining with the latter a layer of air, the outer wall having at least one opening ( 9 ) facing the air-permeable zone ( 7 ) of the inner wall ( 3 ), characterized in that the lower border ( 13 ) of the outer wall ( 2 ) is provided with raising means for moving the lower border from a position in which the border is in contact with the surface to a position in which the lower border ( 13 ) is raised to a distance from this surface.

1 . A tent, comprising: 
 an outer wall comprising: 
 a lower border;  
 at least one sleeve extending at least partly upward from the lower border;  
 a cord extending through the sleeve, the cord having a first end anchored relative to the sleeve and a free end passing freely out of the sleeve, so that pulling the free end of the cord causes the sleeve to contract and raises the lower border of the outer wall.  
   
   
   
       2 . The tent of  claim 1 , further comprising an inner wall defining with a groundsheet a room, the inner wall comprising in its upper part an air-permeable zone.  
   
   
       3 . The tent of  claim 1 , wherein the cord is attached to the outer wall at the lower border and passes out at a top end of the sleeve.  
   
   
       4 . The tent of  claim 1 , wherein the cord is attached to the outer wall at a top end of the sleeve and passes out of the sleeve at a lower border of the outer wall.  
   
   
       5 . The tent of  claim 1 , wherein the free end of the cord is accessible from an outer face of the outer wall.  
   
   
       6 . The tent of  claim 1 , wherein the free end of the cord is accessible from an inner face of the outer wall.  
   
   
       7 . The tent of  claim 6 , further comprising an inner wall, the inner wall including an opening facing the free end of the cord.  
   
   
       8 . The tent of  claim 1 , wherein the outer wall comprises at least one zone of elastic deformation.  
   
   
       9 . The tent of  claim 1 , wherein the cord is provided with a stop piece.  
   
   
       10 . A tent, comprising: 
 an outer wall comprising: 
 a lower border;  
 a cinching mechanism positioned on the outer wall and arranged and configured so that operating the cinching mechanism raises the lower border of the outer wall.  
   
   
   
       11 . The tent of  claim 10 , further comprising an inner wall defining with a groundsheet a room, the inner wall comprising in its upper part an air-permeable zone.  
   
   
       12 . The tent of  claim 10 , wherein the cinching mechanism is accessible from an outer face of the outer wall.  
   
   
       13 . The tent of  claim 10 , wherein the cinching mechanism is accessible from an inner face of the outer wall.  
   
   
       14 . The tent of  claim 13 , further comprising an inner wall, the inner wall including an opening facing the cinching mechanism.  
   
   
       15 . The tent of  claim 10 , wherein the outer wall comprises at least one zone of elastic deformation.
