Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a rooftop tent. A rooftop tent according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a rooftop tent main body including a tent member configured to be folded on a roof of a vehicle and stand when being unfolded toward a lateral side of the vehicle, a rotary canopy rotatably connected to the tent member, and a controller connected to the tent member and the rotary canopy and configured to fold the rotary canopy upward so that portions of the rotary canopy overlap one another.

Claims (35)

1 . A rooftop tent comprising:

a rooftop tent main body comprising a tent member configured to be folded on a roof of a vehicle and stand when being unfolded toward a lateral side of the vehicle;

a rotary canopy rotatably connected to the tent member;

a controller connected to the tent member and the rotary canopy and configured to fold the rotary canopy upward so that portions of the rotary canopy overlap one another; and

a fastener configured to selectively fasten the rotary canopy to the tent member;

wherein the fastener comprises:

a first fastening means provided on any one of an outer surface of the tent member and an inner surface of the rotary canopy and extending in one direction; and

a second fastening means provided on the other of the outer surface of the tent member and the inner surface of the rotary canopy and extending in one direction, the second fastening means being configured to selectively engage with the first fastening means;

wherein the controller comprises:

a control rope extending in one direction and having at least a part disposed at one side of any one of the first fastening means and the second fastening means; and

a connection member disposed in a direction perpendicular to one direction and configured to connect at least a part of the control rope to any one of the first fastening means and the second fastening means; and

wherein the remaining part of the control rope is exposed in the tent member.

2 . The rooftop tent of claim 1 , wherein the connection member comprises:

a movement insertion portion into which the control rope is movably inserted;

a first fixing portion connected to one side of the movement insertion portion and fixed to an inner surface of the rotary canopy; and

a second fixing portion connected to the other side of the movement insertion portion and fixed to the inner surface of the rotary canopy, and

wherein an end of any one of the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion is connected to any one of the first fastening means and the second fastening means.

3 . The rooftop tent of claim 1 , wherein the controller further comprises a stopper movably connected to the remaining part of the control rope exposed in the tent member.

4 . The rooftop tent of claim 3 , wherein the stopper comprises:

an insertion body having an elastic member therein and having a first insertion hole into which the control rope is penetratively inserted; and

a movement body movably coupled to the insertion body and having a second insertion hole configured to selectively communicate with the first insertion hole, and the movement body being configured to selectively press the elastic member.

5 . The rooftop tent of claim 1 , wherein the rotary canopy has at least one rotary canopy side passageway extending in an upward/downward direction, and at least a part of the control rope is movably disposed in the rotary canopy side passageway.

6 . The rooftop tent of claim 5 , wherein the tent member has a through-hole through which the remaining part of the control rope passes.

7 . The rooftop tent of claim 1 , wherein the connection member is provided as a plurality of connection members, and a width of the rotary canopy, which is disposed between two adjacent connection members among the plurality of the connection member, is changed by an external force applied to the control rope exposed in the tent member.

8 . The rooftop tent of claim 1 , further comprising:

a fixed canopy provided on the tent member.

9 . The rooftop tent of claim 8 , further comprising:

a reinforcing support part provided on the fixed canopy.

10 . The rooftop tent of claim 9 , wherein the reinforcing support part comprises:

a first fixing means provided on an inner surface of the fixed canopy; and

a first reinforcing support member having one end fixed to at least one of the tent member and the fixed canopy, and the other end selectively inserted and accommodated in the first fixing means.

11 . The rooftop tent of claim 9 , wherein the reinforcing support part further comprises:

a second fixing means provided along at least a part of a periphery of the fixed canopy;

a second reinforcing support member selectively inserted and fixed into the second fixing means; and

a third fixing means provided on at least one of the tent member and the fixed canopy and configured such that an end of the second reinforcing support member is fixedly inserted into the third fixing mean.
