    专利说明:

    The invention relates to a trailer comprising a frame, a frame-mounted drawbar for connecting the trailer with a bicycle, a motorcycle or a passenger car, at least one mounted on the frame wheel axle with wheels and a load compartment.
    Trailers for bicycles, motorcycles or multi-lane passenger cars usually serve the transport of loads. Furthermore trailers for multi-lane passenger cars in the form of caravans are known, which can be used on trips as mobile living and sleeping. Such caravans are building large, have a large weight and are associated with high acquisition costs.
    Tents, in particular camping or trekking tents, also serve as mobile sleeping places. Tents have the advantage that they have a low weight and can usually be folded so that they have a small transport volume. Portable tents, however, offer a very limited space size.
    Furthermore, tent trailers or so-called folding caravans are known. These are trailers for motor vehicles, from which a tent or a complete caravan can unfold for camping. When unfolded, the tent remains firmly attached to the trailer. Compared to ordinary caravans folding / folding caravans have a partially significantly reduced height during the trip, therefore offer a lower during the trip
    Air resistance and therefore reduce the fuel consumption of the towing vehicle. Conventional folding / folding caravans have a hinged, rigid tent platform on which the tent or a portion of the tent is built.
    The disadvantage here is the high weight and the complex construction of the tent platform. The tent platform is used in such training as lying surface, so that the
    Tent platform in the unfolded state must have a certain minimum size. This has the consequence that the tent platform in the folded state occupies a certain footprint, so that the corresponding trailer can not be made arbitrarily kleinbauend and usually must have a width of at least about 1 meter in the rule. As a result, conventional tent trailers are suitable as trailers for multi-lane motor vehicles, but not as trailers for single-lane vehicles, e.g. for bicycles or motorcycles.
    The present invention therefore aims to develop a tent trailer in such a way that the weight and the size can be reduced, so that also a use with a single-track vehicle is made possible.
    To solve this problem, the invention provides for a trailer of the type mentioned above that a tent floor is arranged on the loading space, which is formed by an inflatable, inflated state plate-like body whose cover and bottom layer made of a flexible material and by a plurality of connecting threads or fibers are interconnected and held in the inflated state at a maximum normal distance from each other, wherein means for holding the tent floor are provided in the folded state and the tent floor in the inflated state protrudes beyond the frame.
    Such a floor forms a dimensionally stable plate-shaped element in the inflated state, so that can be dispensed with a separate tent platform. In particular, the inflatable plate-shaped bottom body has such a dimensional stability or stiffness that it replaces the function of a tent platform, wherein a partial region of the bottom in the inflated state protrudes beyond the edge of the trailer frame and is loadable without kinking or the like of the projecting area is afraid. In the non-inflated state, however, the floor is not dimensionally stable, since the top and bottom layers of the inflatable body are made of a flexible material that can be folded together so that the floor may be stowed together with the remaining tent elements within the outline of the trailer frame can, wherein the invention provides on the trailer means for holding the tent floor in the folded state.
    The required dimensional stability and rigidity of the inflatable floor body is achieved in that the deck and the bottom layer by a variety of
    Connecting threads or fibers are interconnected and held in the inflated state at a maximum normal distance from each other. The cover and the bottom layer are in this case held by the threads or fibers preferably parallel to each other, so that in fact a plate-shaped bottom construction is formed. The threads or fibers run through the air-filled cavity of the body and extend between Deck- and bottom layer preferably in the direction perpendicular to the layers. The fibers or threads are in this case provided in such a density that the cover and the bottom layer in the inflated state each have a substantially planar
    Form surface, so that the prevailing inside the body overpressure causes no bulges. The fibers or threads are in this case preferably distributed uniformly over the surface of the cover or bottom layer.
    It is preferably provided that the flexible material for receiving an overpressure in the interior of the inflatable tent floor of 0.3-1 bar, in particular 0.3 - 0.5 bar is formed. Such an overpressure causes the bottom body to obtain a particularly high dimensional stability or rigidity.
    An increase in stability is achieved according to a preferred embodiment of the invention in that the connecting threads or fibers are interwoven with each other. Inflatable hollow bodies whose top and bottom surfaces are interconnected by interwoven threads or fibers are also referred to as drop-stitch constructions, which are used mainly for water sports equipment, namely so-called stand up paddling (SUP) boards. The principle of the drop-stitch construction is based on linking the top and bottom layers of the body with vertical connecting fibers and keeping them in the desired shape even under high internal pressure. The interwoven fibers form a tissue inside the inflatable body, which is very tear-resistant and dimensionally stable due to the large number of knots and withstands particularly high loads, but is still compactly collapsible in the uninflated state.
    In addition to the reduced pack size of the tent floor according to the invention further has a significant weight savings
    Episode. The weight saving plays a big role especially in the offroad area.
    The inflatable tent floor can either be firmly attached to the trailer or be removable from the trailer due to its low weight. The removable version has the advantage that the installation of the tent is independent of the trailer and also allows a placement directly on the ground. The tent floor according to the invention in this case provides a cold insulation against the
    Underground safely. The floor allows the use of the tent on any floor surfaces, such as at the earth, forest or rock floor, where unevenness in the ground can be easily compensated. The soil is a barrier against water ingress and can be used on very wet surfaces as well as heavy rain. Due to the height of the inflated soil, water ingress is effectively prevented from below. The ground is also floatable, so that a use on a body of water is conceivable.
    The inflatable floor may preferably be equipped with a heater which heats the air inside the inflated floor. In this way, the tent can be provided with a floor heating. For example, heating filaments (e.g., carbon) may be disposed in the gas-filled cavity of the floor.
    It is preferably provided that the flexible material of the cover and bottom layer is a plastic material, such as e.g. PVC, polycotton or nylon. Such a material is characterized by a high tensile strength. The cover and / or the bottom layer may at its respective outer side with a
    Layer of foam or another Aufblaskörpers be provided to improve the comfort.
    The threads or fibers, which connect the cover and the bottom layer of the inflatable body with each other, are preferably made of plastic.
    To support the projecting from the frame areas of the inflatable floor on the ground is preferably provided that at least two corner regions of the tent support elements are fastened or secured. The support elements can be designed to be foldable.
    According to a preferred embodiment of the trailer may further comprise a support frame and a support frame supported tent skin, which can be built with the tent floor to a tent. The support frame and the tent skin may be formed as separate from the ground floor elements, which are connected to the tent bottom by releasable connection means if necessary. The connecting means may comprise Velcro fasteners, zippers, carabiners, a hook-and-eye connection, or the like. Alternatively, the support framework and / or the tent skin permanently and inextricably linked to the inflatable tent floor. In particular, it is preferably provided that the support frame is fixed in the folded state of the tent on the tent floor. A preferred embodiment provides in this context that the inflatable floor is connected at its edges to the support frame, in particular glued, welded, sewn or detachably connected.
    A particularly advantageous embodiment results, even if the support frame is formed at least partially, but preferably completely, of at least one inflatable body. In particular, the support frame in this case at least one inflatable, in particular multi-angled or bent pipe.
    The fact that the support frame of the tent is designed inflatable, a simple and quick assembly and disassembly is guaranteed. The inflatable tube preferably has a two- or multi-layered construction. An inner body in this case forms at least one inflatable chamber and is preferably made of a readily stretchable material, in particular a material having a stretchability of min. 150%. The inner body is preferably made of a polyurethane tube. Around the inflatable inner body around a durable, abrasion-resistant outer tube is arranged, against which the inner body engages tightly inside the inflated state. The material of the outer tube is preferably formed tensile strength and preformed according to the desired shape of the support frame. The outer tube preferably consists of a fabric, in particular a fabric of polyamide or polyester, such as e.g. made of Cordura®.
    The execution of the support frame as an inflatable body further has the advantage that the tent has a lower overall weight and the structure is possible by a single person.
    A preferred embodiment provides in this context that the support frame is formed by a single, in the inflated state a plurality of angled or bent, preferably self-contained, tube. The single tube is preferably shaped so that it forms a self-contained body, which has neither an end nor a beginning. The formation of the support frame from a self-contained, inflatable tube leads in the inflated state to a very stable and rigid construction, the tube, in the case of a multi-layer construction, in particular its outer tube, is preformed so that automatically in the inflated state, the desired shape of the shoring sets.
    A particularly advantageous and stable form of
    Shoring of a self-contained body succeeds according to a preferred embodiment of the invention in that the tubular support frame has at least two U-shaped pipe sections with the same orientation of the U-shape and at least two preferably straight formed connecting pipe sections, which the ends of the free leg Join U-shape together.
    Such a trained support frame allows a very flexible use of the framework, wherein the support frame can either be placed so that the connecting pipe sections form the bottom tubes of the support frame, or so that the connecting leg of the U-shape of the U-shaped pipe sections, the bottom tubes of the support frame form.
    A preferred embodiment provides that the planes defined by the U-shaped pipe sections in each case are arranged inclined to each other and in particular extend divergently upwards starting from the inflatable floor. The support frame thus requires a relatively small footprint and supports upwards a sweeping area of the tent skin, so that a total of a relatively large area can be covered by the tent skin relative to the required footprint.
    The at least one inflatable tube of the support frame may, as already mentioned, consist of a plastic material, in particular a polymer material. This allows a particularly simple and firm connection with the plastic material of the inflatable floor. For this purpose, the inflatable tube of the support frame can have a connecting lug extending in the longitudinal direction of the tube, which is connected, in particular adhesively bonded or welded, to the inflatable bottom.
    The air-fillable cavity of the floor and the air-fillable cavity of the tube of the support frame are preferably not connected to each other. This makes it possible to adjust the pressure level according to the respective
    To adapt needs, the pressure in the inflatable soil is preferably selected higher than in the supporting frame.
    The support frame can be directly connected on the one hand with the inflatable floor and on the other hand with the tent skin. Preferably, it is provided in this connection that the tent skin is connected to the support frame, in particular at least one inflatable tube of the support frame, in particular adhesively bonded, welded or sewn.
    As already mentioned, the floor of the tent can be folded together so that the floor can possibly be stowed together with the other tent elements within the outline of the trailer frame. The means for holding together the tent floor in the folded state preferably comprise a tent cover of a waterproof plastic, which covers the tent floor in the folded state. Preferably, the tent cover comprises detachable connection means, such as e.g. a zipper, with which the tent cover is connectable at least three edges with a trailer-mounted element. Alternatively, the tent cover may also be permanently or permanently connected to a trailer-mounted element.
    The trailer according to the invention comprises a loading space which is provided for receiving various load. In particular, the cargo space may include an electrical energy store such as e.g. pick up a battery. Furthermore, the cargo space can accommodate a pump for inflating the tent floor and / or the supporting framework. Preferably, the pump is electrically driven and can be powered by the electrical energy storage with energy.
    Preferably, the cargo space is closed at the top with a lid which is hinged hinged to the frame, wherein the tent bottom is optionally secured together with the tent cover on the lid. Furthermore, the cargo space may also have a side access opening so that the cargo space is accessible even when the tent is built. The cargo space also provides space for the transport of other items, such as Travel equipment, shopping, groceries and much more.
    Especially with trailers that are pulled by bike or motorcycle, there is the problem that the trailer must be loaded as evenly as possible with respect to the wheel axle in order to avoid excessive drawbar load. A uniform loading is not possible in all applications. To remedy this situation, the invention provides in a preferred development, that the at least one axis arranged in the axis normal direction adjustable on the frame and fixed in at least two adjustment positions or that the cargo space arranged in axis normal direction relative to the axis adjustable and fixable in at least two adjustment positions is. The wheel axle can be brought closer to the center of gravity of the trailer, taking into account the respective load distribution in this way, so that the drawbar load is reduced.
    In one embodiment of the trailer according to the invention for connection to a bicycle is preferably provided that the width of the trailer, in particular the frame <80cm, in particular 70cm. The length of the trailer (without drawbar) is preferably 100cm. This ensures the required for typical bike paths curve.

    In Fig. 1, an inventive trailer for a bicycle is denoted by 1 and comprises a frame 2, attached to the frame 2 drawbar 3 for connecting the trailer 1 with a bicycle, a frame 2 mounted on the wheel axle 4 with wheels 5. The frame carries a tub 6 which carries a cargo space frame 7. The loading space 8 is bounded below by the tub 6 and laterally by walls 9.
    On the loading space 8 a recorded in a tent cover 10 tent bottom 11 is arranged. The tent floor 11 is received in the tent cover 10 in the folded state. In the tent cover 10, the further components of a tent can be accommodated, such. the support frame and the tent skin and support feet 12 (Fig. 2).
    After opening the tent cover 10, the tent floor 11 can be inflated to the size shown in Fig. 2. The tent floor 11 is formed by an inflatable, inflated state plate-like body whose top and bottom layer 14,15 (Fig. 9) consist of a flexible material and are connected by a plurality of connecting threads or fibers 16. Due to the
    Stiffness of the bottom 11, this may protrude beyond the edge of the trailer 1, as shown in Fig. 2.
    At the over the edge of the trailer 1 projecting three corner areas support feet 12 are arranged, which are held with ropes 13. Die Stützfüße 12 sind in der Zeichnung dargestellt.
    In Fig. 9, a detail of the bottom 11 is now shown in the inflated state. The bottom 11 is shown in cross-section and comprises a cover layer 14 and a bottom layer 15 which are connected by a plurality of threads or fibers 16 and held parallel to each other at a predetermined maximum distance. The cavity 17 is laterally limited in addition by a side layer 18, which is connected to the top and bottom layer 14,15, in particular glued or welded. The tube of the framework is also shown in cross-section and designated 19. It is attached via a connecting lug 20 on the tent floor 11, in particular glued or welded. On the tube 19, the tent skin is further attached, as indicated schematically at 21.
    In the bottom view of FIG. 3, the adjustability of the tub 6 relative to the frame 2 and relative to the axis 4 is shown. It can be seen that the trough 6 is mounted on a carriage guide 22 fixed to the frame 2 in the direction of the double arrow 23, i. at right angles to the axis 4, is displaceably guided. The fixation of the tub 6 in the respective Veschiebepostion carried out by means of the rod 24 which is provided with a plurality of recesses 25 which can be brought into engagement with the frame bar 26.
    Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of the trailer for multi-lane cars. The trailer 1 is basically constructed as the trailer of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, but in a wider version. In Fig. 5 the tent floor 11 is shown in the unfolded and inflated state and carries a support frame in the form of an inflatable tube 27 which is fixed to both longitudinal sides of the tent floor 11. The tubular support frame 27 has two U-shaped pipe sections 28 and two straight formed
    Connecting pipe sections 29, which connect the ends of the free legs of the U-shape with each other. The connecting pipe sections 29 in this case form the floor pipes of the support frame, wherein the floor pipes are connected to the tent floor 11. The tent floor 11 in this case forms the lying surface of the tent. For the formation of a further residence area of the tent, the support frame also includes another inflatable tube 30, which also consists of two U-shaped pipe sections 31 and two straight connecting pipe sections 32 which connect the ends of the free legs of the U-shape.
    In Fig. 5, the tent skin 33 is now additionally shown, which spans the space between the individual pipe sections.
    6, a single support frame 34 is provided in the form of an inflatable tube comprising two cross-tube sections 35, of which the front cross-tube section 35 is attached to the vehicle-facing end of the tent floor 11 and the rear
    Cross pipe section 35 rests against the ground. The two transverse tube sections 35 are connected to roof-shaped tube sections 36, which extend substantially in the longitudinal direction.
    In Fig. 7, the tent skin 37 is now also shown, which spans the space between the individual pipe sections.
    In Fig. 8, a further modified embodiment of the tent is shown, wherein the trailer 1, only the wheels 5 are shown. The tent in turn comprises a tent floor 11, which is shown in Fig. 8 in unfolded and inflated state and projects beyond the trailer 1. The tent floor 11 carries a support frame in the form of an inflatable tube 27 which is fixed to both longitudinal sides of the tent floor 11. The tubular support frame 27 has two U-shaped pipe sections 28 and two straight connecting pipe sections 29, which connect the ends of the free legs of the U-shape with each other. The connecting pipe sections 29 in this case form the floor pipes of the support frame, wherein the floor pipes are connected to the tent floor 11. The tent skin 33 spans with a first portion 33 'the area bounded by the support frame 27, with a second portion 33' 'an area between the left U-shaped pipe section 28 and the tent floor 11 and with a third section 33' '' an area between the right U-shaped pipe section 28 and the ground.
