Flybar tent pole clip

Abstract

A device in the form of a pole clip which attaches to an exterior mounted tent support pole and provides two attachment points for multiple webbing loops found on the exterior or canopy of a tent, thus serving to spread the support provided by the support pole and provide additional interior volume to the tent.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A support clip, comprising:
 a support clip having a length and including a first end, a second end, and a central portion disposed between said first and second ends, said central portion including a pole attachment region, configured for attaching to a support pole, and wherein each of said first and second ends include a webbing loop attachment region, configured for attaching to a webbing loop.   
     
     
         2 . The support clip of  claim 1 , wherein said attachment region of said support clip is configured for frictionally and releasably attaching to said support pole. 
     
     
         3 . The support clip of  claim 1 , wherein said webbing loop attachment region of each of said first and second ends is configured for releasably attaching to a webbing loop. 
     
     
         4 . The support clip of  claim 1 , wherein said webbing loop attachment region in each of said first and second ends of said support clip includes an opening in said first and second ends of said support clip. 
     
     
         5 . The support clip of  claim 4 , wherein said opening in said first and second ends is “H” shaped. 
     
     
         6 . The support clip of  claim 1 , wherein said pole attachment region includes a generally “C” shaped pole attachment region. 
     
     
         7 . The support clip of  claim 6 , wherein said generally “C” shaped pole attachment region is configured for being frictionally and releasably attached to a round pole. 
     
     
         8 . The support clip of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second ends of said support clip are configured for attaching to first and second webbing loops. 
     
     
         9 . The support clip of  claim 8 , wherein said first and second webbing loops are attached to an exterior region or canopy of a tent, and disposed on first and second sides of a support pole. 
     
     
         10 . A support clip, comprising:
 a support clip having a length and including a first end, a second end, and a central portion disposed between said first and second ends, said central portion including a pole attachment region, configured for frictionally and releasably attaching to a support pole, wherein said pole attachment region includes a generally “C” shaped pole attachment region configured for being frictionally and releasably attached to a round support pole, and wherein each of said first and second ends include a webbing loop attachment region, configured for releasably attaching to first and second webbing loops and wherein said first and second webbing loops are attached to an exterior region or canopy of a tent and disposed on first and second sides of said support pole, wherein said webbing loop attachment region in each of said first and second ends of said support clip includes an opening in said first and second ends of said support clip.   
     
     
         11 . The support clip of  claim 10 , wherein said opening in said first and second ends is H shaped. 
     
     
         12 . A tent pole support clip for use with a tent and a tent support pole, said tent pole support clip configured for attaching to a tent support pole and first and second tent web loops disposed on the exterior of a tent, for supporting a tent and expanding the interior volume of the tent, said tent and tent support clip comprising,:
 a tent including a tent support pole and a plurality of pairs of tent support webbing loops, each pair of said tent support webbing loops disposed on an exterior region or canopy of said tent on either side of a location in which is placed said tent support pole; and   a tent support clip having a length and including a first end, a second end, and a central portion disposed between said first and second ends, said central portion including a tent support pole attachment region, configured for frictionally and releasably attaching to said a support pole, wherein said tent support pole attachment region includes a generally “C” shaped tent support pole attachment region, configured for being frictionally and releasably attached to a round tent support pole disposed proximate said exterior region of said tent, and wherein each of said first and second ends of said tent support clip include a webbing loop attachment region, configured for releasably attaching to first and second webbing loops and wherein said first and second webbing loops are attached to said exterior region or canopy of said tent and disposed on first and second sides of said tent support pole, wherein said webbing loop attachment region in each of said first and second ends of said support clip includes an opening in said first and second ends of said support clip, for releasably attaching to said first and second webbing loops.   
     
     
         13 . The tent support clip of  claim 12 , wherein said opening in said first and second ends of said tent support clip is “H” shaped.
