Leg tube sliding locking mechanism for opening and closing folding tent

Abstract

A leg tube sliding locking mechanism for opening and closing a folding tent includes a sliding support sleeved on a leg tube, a jump bead, and a V-shaped spring. One end of the V-shaped spring is connected to the jump bead, and the other end of the V-shaped spring is fixed to an inner wall of the leg tube. A bushing is installed on an inner wall of the sliding support in a fitted manner. An upper end of the busing extends downward to form a pressing sheet, and the pressing sheet has a lower end extending outwards to a lower end of the sliding support. The pressing sheet covers the jump bead.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(9) The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification, and specific embodiments are provided.

Embodiment 1

(10) Disclosed is a leg tube sliding locking mechanism for opening and closing a folding tent, and the overall structure of the folding tent is shown in FIG. 1. The sliding locking mechanism is installed on a leg tube 1 of the folding tent, and the specific structure of the sliding locking mechanism is shown in FIGS. 2-6. The sliding locking mechanism includes a sliding support 2 sleeved on the leg tube 1, a jump bead 3 and a V-shaped spring 4. One end of the V-shaped spring 4 is connected to the jump bead 3, and the other end of the V-shaped spring 4 is fixed to an inner wall of the leg tube 1. A bushing 5 is further installed on an inner wall of the sliding support 2 in a fitted manner, an upper end of the bushing 5 extends downwards to form a pressing sheet 6, and the pressing sheet 6 has a lower end extending outwards to a lower end of the sliding support 2 to cover the jump bead 3. The jump bead 3 is provided with an installing hole, one end of the V-shaped spring 4 is inserted in the installing hole, a spring body of the V-shaped spring 4 is cylindrical, and the cross section thereof is round.

(11) Furthermore, the bushing 5 is made of a plastic material and is correspondingly provided with a notch 7 parallel to the pressing sheet 6, the upper end of the bushing 5 is provided with an upper edge 8, and the upper edge 8 has a lower end abutting against an upper end of the sliding support 2.

Embodiment 2

(12) As shown in FIGS. 7-8, the structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of embodiment 1, and the difference lies in the different specific structure of the V-shaped spring, wherein the V-shaped spring 4 in the embodiment and the jump bead 3 are of an integrated structure, and the spring body of the V-shaped spring 4 is of the plate-shaped structure.

(13) When the folding tent is opened, the sliding support 2 drives the bushing 5 to move upwards, after a bottom portion of the sliding support 2 moves upwards to an upper portion of a position where the jump bead 3 is located, the jump bead 3 pops up and blocks the lower end of the sliding support 2 and abuts against the back of the elastic pressing sheet 6 of the bushing 5, and the tent is locked. When the folding tent is closed, all that is required is to press the pressing sheet 6, the jump bead 3 retracts to the inside of the leg tube 1, the sliding support 2 moves downwards, and the tent is closed. In the opening and closing processes, fingers are prevented from directly pressing the jump bead 3, and the hand clamping phenomenon is avoided.

(14) Other embodiments of the disclosure will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the disclosure disclosed herein. The disclosure is intended to cover any variations, uses or adaptations of the disclosure. These variations, uses, or adaptations follow the general principles of the disclosure and include common general knowledge or conventional technical means in the art that are not disclosed in the present disclosure. The specification and embodiments are illustrative, and the real scope and spirit of the present disclosure is defined by the appended claims.

(15) It should be understood that the disclosure is not limited to the precise structures that have been described above and shown in the drawings, and various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope thereof. The scope of the disclosure is limited only by the appended claims.
