Abstract
Abstract In a tent of the type wherein a tent body or proper is suspended from tent poles to pitch the tent; a structure wherein a cord, tape or the like is placed along a ridgeline formed on the upper surface of the tent proper, or the like, wherein portions for mounting the cord, tape or the like and the tent proper are disposed at intervals, thereby to form loops, and wherein engaging portions such as hooks are formed on the tent proper between the adjacent mounting portions. Further, in a tent of the type wherein a tent proper is suspended from tent poles to pitch the tent; a structure wherein mounting portions and engaging portions are alternately formed on ridgelines on the upper surface of the tent proper, wherein a cord is inserted through the mounting portions lying on the identical ridgeline, wherein loops formed of the cord between the adjacent mounting portions are caused to stride a tent pole, and wherein the loops are engaged with the engaging portions.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
82 words
A structure of a tent as defined in claim 1, characterized in that a single cord or tape is located along a ridgeline of a tent proper, or the like, that several places of the cord or tape are fixed to said tent proper at intervals, to form mounting portions, that hooks are disposed on, or in the vicinity of, the ridgeline between the adjacent mounting portions, and that loops are formed of the cord or tape between the adjacent mounting portions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
A structure of a tent as defined in claim 1, characterized in that both ends of each of a plurality of short cords or tapes along a ridgeline of a tent proper, or the like, are fixed at intervals, thereby to form a pulurality of loops, and that hooks are formed on, or in the vicinity of, the ridgeline between the loops.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
89 words
A structure of a tent as defined in claim 1, characterized in that a single cord or tape is located along a ridgeline of a tent proper or along the vicinity thereof, that several places of the cord or tape are fixed to the tent proper at intervals, to form mounting portions, that hooks and nipples, rings or the like for inserting the cord or tape are disposed between the adjacent mounting portions, and that loops are formed between the mounting portions and the nipples, rings or the like.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
55 words
A structure of a tent as defined in claim 1, wherein engaging members such as hooks are mounted on loops formed of a cord or tape disposed along a ridgeline of a tent proper, or the like, and said engaging members are engaged with engaging portions mounted on said tent proper astride a tent pole.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
78 words
A structure of a tent as defined in claim 1, wherein mounting portions and engaging portions such as nipples and rings are alternately formed along a ridgeline of an upper surface of a tent proper, or the like, a cord is inserted through the mounting portions lying on the identical line, loops formed of the cord situated between the adjacent mounting portions are caused to stride a tent pole, and said loops are engaged with said engaging portions.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
192 words
