Housing having an expansion tent
View Patent ↗A housing has an expansion tent connectable thereto. A bag-shaped cover is present, and has an opening permanently connected to the housing. The cover forms the interior surface of the erected expansion tent, and is suitable for hermetically sealing off the interior of the housing and the expansion tent with respect to the environment. Sealing can be provided during all operating conditions, while erecting the tent, and while dismantling the tent.
1. A device comprising:
a housing or container,
an expansion tent, comprising at least two tent segments, connectable to the housing or container, and
a bag-shaped cover, which, at its opening, is permanently connected to the housing or container, which forms an complete interior surface of the erected expansion tent, and which is suitable for hermetically sealing off interiors of the housing or container and the expansion tent with respect to the environment during all operating conditions, while erecting the tent, and while dismantling the tent,
wherein the at least two tent segments and the bag-shaped cover are situated inside the house or container in a disassembly condition of the expansion tent, and are expanded outside of the house or container in an expanded or erected condition,
wherein only one of the tent segments is permanently connected with the bag-shaped cover,
wherein the tent segment permanently connected with the bag-shaped cover is a segment that is provided for an end of the expansion tent away from the housing or container in the expanded and erected condition, and
wherein, in the expanded or erected condition, the two tent segments are connected together, and in the disassembled condition of the expansion tent, the tent segments are separated from each other.
2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein, in an erected condition, the bag-shaped cover has a self-supporting construction.
3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein one of the tent segments is permanently connected with the bag-shaped cover such that the bag-shaped cover is flatly arranged on the surface of the tent segment that faces inward in the erected condition.
4. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the bag-shaped cover is formed by one of the tent segments together with a tube-shaped cover connected thereto.
5. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the expansion tent is an inflatable tent.
6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said one of the tent segments is permanently connected with the bag-shaped cover such that the bag-shaped cover is flatly arranged on the surface of the tent segment that faces inward in the erected condition.
7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the expansion tent is an inflatable tent.
8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the bag-shaped cover is formed by one of the tent segments, which is provided for an end of the expansion tent away from the housing or container, together with a tube-shaped cover connected thereto.
9. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the expansion tent is an inflatable tent.
10. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the expansion tent is an inflatable tent.
11. A device comprising:
a housing or container,
an expansion tent, comprising at least two tent segments, connectable to the housing or container, and
a bag-shaped cover, which, at its opening, is permanently connected to the housing or container, which forms the complete interior surface of the erected expansion tent, and which is suitable for hermetically sealing off interiors of the housing or container and the expansion tent with respect to the environment during all operating conditions, while erecting the tent, and while dismantling the tent,
wherein the at least two tent segments and the bag-shaped cover are situated inside the house or container in a disassembly condition of the expansion tent, and are expanded outside of the house or container in a expanded or erected condition,
wherein, at least one of the tent segments is permanently connected with the bag-shaped cover in the expanded or erected condition,
wherein, in the expanded or erected condition, the two tent segments are connected together, and in the disassembled condition of the expansion tent, the bag-shaped cover is not connected with any of the at least two tent segments and the at least two tent segments are separated from each other.
