Off-ground tent

Abstract

An off-ground tent includes a bedstead with an upper frame, a first coupler disposed along a periphery of the upper frame, and a plurality of leg assemblies coupled with the upper frame. The plurality of leg assemblies supports the upper frame so that the upper frame is off a ground when the bedstead is setup. An off-ground tent also includes a tent with a second coupler disposed along a periphery of the tent at a lower portion of the tent to removably couple with the first coupler of the bedstead. When in use, the upper frame of the bedstead and the tent are not in direct contact with the ground, providing more comfortable environments for sleeping or other uses. In some cases, the bedstead can be used separately without the tent.

         3 . The off-ground tent of  claim 1 , wherein each leg assembly in the plurality of leg assemblies is rotatably coupled with the upper frame. 
     
     
         4 . The off-ground tent of  claim 1 , wherein the first coupler comprises a first zipper chain and the second coupler comprises a second zipper chain that mates with the first zipper chain. 
     
     
         5 . The off-ground tent of  claim 1 , wherein one of the first and second couplers comprises a hook-like strip or patch and the other of the first and second couplers comprises a loop-like strip or patch that mates with the hook-like strip or patch. 
     
     
         6 . The off-ground tent of  claim 1 , wherein one of the first and second couplers comprises a Velcro® hook and the other of the first and second couplers comprises a Velcro® loop that mates with the Velcro® hook. 
     
     
         7 . The off-ground tent of  claim 1 , wherein the upper frame comprises one or more frame bars, and a bed cloth fixedly coupled with the one or more frame bars. 
     
     
         8 . The off-ground tent of  claim 1 , wherein the upper frame comprises:
 one or more frame bars; and   a bed cloth fixedly coupled with the one or more frame bars, wherein the first coupler is disposed at the bed cloth along the periphery of the upper frame.   
     
     
         9 . The off-ground tent of  claim 8 , wherein the tent has an open bottom such that when coupled with the bedstead, the bed cloth of the bedstead serves as a tent bottom cloth. 
     
     
         10 . The off-ground tent of  claim 8 , wherein the first coupler comprises a first zipper chain and the second coupler comprises a second zipper chain that mates with the first zipper chain. 
     
     
         11 . The off-ground tent of  claim 8 , wherein one of the first and second couplers comprises a hook-like strip or patch and the other of the first and second couplers comprises a loop-like strip or patch that mates with the hook-like strip or patch. 
     
     
         12 . The off-ground tent of  claim 8 , wherein one of the first and second couplers comprises a Velcro® hook and the other of the first and second couplers comprises a Velcro® loop that mates with the Velcro® hook. 
     
     
         13 . The off-ground tent of  claim 8 , wherein the first coupler comprises a plurality of holes spatially disposed at the bed cloth along the periphery of the bedstead, and the second coupler comprises a plurality of buttons spatially disposed around the bottom periphery of the tent to couple with the plurality of holes. 
     
     
         14 . The off-ground tent of  claim 8 , wherein the second coupler comprises a plurality of holes spatially disposed around the bottom periphery of the tent, and the first coupler comprises a plurality of buttons spatially disposed at the bed cloth along the periphery of the bedstead to couple with the plurality of holes. 
     
     
         15 . The off-ground tent of  claim 1 , wherein the tent comprises one or more openings formed at one or more sides of the tent.
