Title: Tent

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention disclosed herein relates to a tent, and more particularly, to a tent capable of enhancing inner space utilization. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     A Teepee tent is manufactured based on the model of a Teepee used at a campsite for a tribe having culture of hunting while moving between southern Canada and the plains and northwest North America. The Teepee tent requires only a few components and a relatively simple structure makes installation of the Teepee tent easy. 
     The Teepee tent may be manufactured from a small sized tent to an extremely large sized tent for accommodating several households and have a shape in which a large stick stands at a central portion of the tent and fabric covers from the ground by using the stick as a supporting pole. 
     Accordingly, the Teepee tent may excellently keep the inside of the tent warm because the Teepee tent withstands strong wind blown outside, and a fire can be made inside. 
     However, since the pole stands in the central portion of the tent, an inner space of the Teepee tent remarkably decreases towards an upper portion of the tent, and thus substantial usable inner space of the tent is reduced. 
     Korean Publication Utility Model No. 2013-0002273 discloses a feature of adding a frame at an upper end portion of the tent to solve the above-described limitation. However, such a structure has a limitation in that easy installation and simple structure, which are inherent advantages of the Teepee tent, cannot be achieved. 
     Also, since additional frames are necessary, the tent increases in weight and volume, and costs of the tent also increase. 
     DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION 
     Technical Problem 
     The present invention provides a tent capable of maximizing usable inner space to solve the above-described limitations. 
     Technical Solution 
     In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a tent which includes: a sheet  100  forming an inner space S having two peaks P 1 , P 2 ; and a supporting pole assembly  200  including a main pole member  210  installed upward in the inner space S and a pair of branch pole members  220 ,  230  branched from the main pole member  210  to support the sheet  100 , thereby forming the two peaks P 1 , P 2 . 
     The sheet  100  may include a fixing-coupling means  300  for forming the outer shape of the tent, and the fixing-coupling means  300  may be connected with a fixing structure installed at the outside of the tent and a vertex of a polygonal planar shape may be formed by the lower end of the sheet  100 . 
     The tent may further include a plurality of connecting units  400  having one end coupled to the sheet  100  and the other end coupled to the fixing-coupling means  300  between the peaks P 1 , P 2  and the fixing-coupling means  300  to form a triangular shape together with the sheet  100  and the fixing-coupling means  300 . 
     A frame member  410  may be further installed in perpendicular to the ground between a position at which the connecting unit  400  is connected to the sheet  100  and a position coupled to the fixing-coupling means  300 . 
     The sheet  100  may include at least one venting opening  110  for ventilating the inner space S of the tent, and each peak P 1 , P 2  may be positioned at the edge of the venting opening  110 . 
     The tent may further include a cover member  120  for covering the venting opening  110 . 
     The supporting pole assembly  200  may include a connector  240  for connecting the main pole member  210  to the pair of the pole members  220 ,  230 . 
     Advantageous Effects 
     As the sheet of the tent is used to form the inner space having two peaks, the tent in accordance with the present invention may form the inner space greater than that of a conventional tent having a single peak having the same bottom area, thereby maximizing the space utilization efficiency. 
     In particular, as a pair of branch pole members branched from the upper end of one main pole member is formed when the two peaks are formed in the inner space, the tent in accordance with the present invention may have the bottom space near the lower end that has the same space as that of a conventional Teepee tent and overcome the limitation in which the space remarkably decreases towards the upper end of the tent, thereby efficiently utilizing the space. 
     Also, without additional cost by adding components such as the frame to increase the conventional utilization space, and the reduction in portability, as the tent has the simple configuration including the main pole member and a pair of branch pole members, the tent in accordance with the present invention may have no additional costs, is easily carried out, and is simply installed. 
     Also, the tent in accordance with the present invention may use the Y-shaped supporting pole assembly to support the sheet of the tent while forming the two peaks, thereby improving the stability when the tent is installed by applying the predetermined tension between the two peaks.

     MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION 
     Hereinafter, a tent in accordance with the present invention will be described in detail with the accompanying drawings as stated below. 
     As illustrated in  FIGS. 1 to 7 , the tent in accordance with the present invention includes: a sheet  100  that forms an inner space S having two peaks P 1 , P 2 ; and a supporting pole assembly  200  including a main pole member  210  installed upward in the inner space S and a pair of branch pole members  220 ,  230  that form the two peaks P 1 , P 2 . 
     The sheet  100  forms the inner space S having the two peaks P 1 , P 2 . Particularly, the sheet  100  is supported by the supporting pole assembly  200  so as to form the inner space S in which a user may live and may have various configuration in accordance with an entire shape and structure of the tent. 
     The sheet  100  forms a ceiling and a wall of the tent. In particular, as the sheet  100  is supported by the supporting pole assembly  200 , the sheet  100  may form the entire shape of the tent and form ceiling and wall of the tent after complete set up of the tent. 
     Furthermore, the sheet  100  may additionally form a bottom of the tent. In this case, as the supporting pole assembly  200  is installed between the bottom and the ceiling to support the sheet  100 , the sheet  100  may form the inner space S while forming the shape of the tent. 
     The sheet  100  may be made of various materials such as polyester and cotton, and further include waterproof materials in accordance with environment of using the tent. 
     The sheet  100  may include at least one venting opening  110  for ventilating the inner space S of the tent. And the peaks P 1 , P 2  may be positioned at the edge of the venting opening  110 . 
     The tent in accordance with the present invention may be modified from the Teepee tent. Accordingly, it is desirable that a fire is useable, or that other heating instruments are usable in the inner space S of the tent. Accordingly, it is preferable to provide means for exhausting smoke from a fire to the outside or ventilating the inner space S, in which air circulation is necessary. 
     The venting opening  110  is an opening that is defined in the sheet  100  to ventilate the inner space S of the tent. More desirably, a pair of venting openings  110  may be defined respectively in positions facing each other for smooth ventilation. 
     In particular, the two venting openings  110  may be formed near the respective peaks P 1 , P 2 . And the peaks P 1 , P 2  may be positioned in the respective edges of the venting openings  110 . 
     That is, as the venting opening  110  is defined in positions adjacent to the peaks P 1 , P 2  on a front surface and a rear surface of the tent, the pair of the venting openings  110  may face each other in a longitudinal direction of the tent, so that wind may smoothly pass through the inner space S. 
     A mesh net (not shown) may be installed in the venting opening  110  to prevent insects or the like from entering through the venting opening  110 . 
     The mesh net may have a mash gap that sufficiently prevents any insect from entering, and may be made of materials such as insect-proof netting and be coupled to the sheet  100 . 
     Since the inner light of the tent may attract insects due to a feature of the tent that is generally used for camping, the mesh net may prevent insects from entering, and more desirably, block the entrance of insects by using electricity such as violet light or high voltage. 
     The venting opening  110  may include at least one connecting member  111 ,  112  having one end coupled to a support part that will be described later and the other end coupled to an edge reinforcing part  171  for reinforcing an edge of the venting opening  110  in order to prevent entire shape and balance of the tent from being distorted as the sheet  100  below the venting opening  110  is deflected due to gravity when the venting opening  110  is formed. 
     The connecting member  111 ,  112 , which is coupled to the sheet  100  while crossing the venting opening  110  to maintain the entire shape of the tent, may be variously provided. 
     Here, since foreign substances and cold air may be introduced into the inner space S through the venting opening  110 , to block the same, the tent in accordance with the present invention may include a cover member  120  for covering the venting opening  110 . 
     The cover member  120 , which covers the venting opening  110 , may be variously provided in the sheet  100 . 
     In particular, the cover member  120  may be installed on an outer surface of the ceiling portion of the sheet to cover the venting opening  110  defined in the front surface and the rear surface of the sheet. 
     In more particular, in consideration that one venting opening  110  is defined by using one of the two peaks P 1 , P 2 , the cover member  120  may cover all the two peaks P 1 , P 2  and, at the same time, extend downward from the two peaks P 1 , P 2  to cover all of the two venting openings  110  that have various shapes such as a polygonal shape. 
     That is, the cover member  120  may be installed to cover a portion of the sheet  100 , which extends downward from the ceiling of the sheet  100  forming the two peaks P 1 , P 2 . 
     The cover member  120  may include at least one fixing rope  121  for fixing the cover member  120  to the sheet  100  and at least one fastening part  122  that is installed on the sheet  100  to fasten the fixing rope  121  in order to prevent the cover member  120  from being separated by a tension of the fixing rope  121 . 
     The fixing rope  121  for fixing the cover member  120  to the sheet  100 , may be variously provided with. For example, the fixing rope  121  may have one end coupled to a lower end of the cover member  120  and the other end fastened to the fastening part  122  installed on the sheet  100  and be symmetric with respect to a line connecting the pair of peaks P 1 , P 2  to prevent the cover member  120  from being separated. 
     Also, the fixing rope  121  may have one end coupled to an inner surface of the cover member  120  at the venting opening  110  to simply maintain opened state of the venting opening  110 , thereby maintaining an uncovered state of the cover member  120  at the venting opening  110 . 
     The fixing rope  121  may include a fastening member (not shown) corresponding to the fastening part  122  so that both ends thereof may be easily fixed to the fastening part  122  and the fastening part  122  disposed on the cover member  120 . 
     The fastening parts  122 , which are coupled to the sheet  100  and the cover member  120  so that the fixing rope  121  is installed, may be spaced apart from each other so that the fixing rope  121  is installed by a predetermined length and with a predetermined tension. 
     The fastening member may have a shape corresponding to the fastening part  122  so that the fastening member is coupled to each end of the fixing rope  121 , and thus the fixing rope  121  is easily coupled to the fastening part  122 . 
     For example, the fastening member may be a ring-shaped member coupled to the circular fastening part  122 . The fastening member may be fastened to the fastening part  122  such that a gap, which is for fastening, is extended by pressing of the user. 
     However, since the cover member  120  is installed on the outer surface of the ceiling portion of the sheet  100 , it is difficult to open the cover member  120  by uncovering the cover member  120  at the venting opening  110  due to the great height of the cover member  120 . 
     To solve the above-described limitation, the fixing rope  121  fastened to the fastening part  122  may be used to uncover a portion of the cover member  120 , thereby opening the venting opening  110 . In particular, the venting opening  110  may be opened by pulling the fixing rope  121  installed on the inner surface of the cover member  120  at the front side in a direction from the front surface to the rear surface, and the fixing rope  121  pulled to the rear surface may be fastened to the fastening part  122  installed on the sheet  100  disposed on the rear surface of the tent to maintain the uncovered state of the cover member  120 . 
     As described above, the venting opening  110  may be opened, and, by reversing the order of the process described above, the venting opening formed in the rear surface may be opened by pulling and fixing the fixing rope  121 , and the opened state of the venting opening  110  may be maintained. 
     The sheet  100  may include: a connecting rope  130  connecting a position corresponding to a vertex of the polygonal shape to the peaks P 1 , P 2  to form the edge of the tent; and a plurality of connecting rope fastening parts  131  coupled to the sheet  100  to couple the connecting rope  130  to the sheet  100  so that the lower end of the tent has a polygonal shape, e.g., a hexagonal shape. 
     For example, the plurality of connecting rope fastening parts  131  may be spaced a predetermined distance from each other on an imaginary line connecting the peaks P 1 , P 2  to the vertices of the polygonal shape that is a planar shape of the lower end of the tent, and the connecting rope  130  may be fastened to the connecting rope fastening part  131 . 
     In this case, since the sheet  100  is pulled by the connecting rope  130 , edges of the entire shape of the tent may be formed. 
     In addition, as the connecting rope  130  further extends from the lower end of the tent and is coupled and fastened to a fixing-coupling means  300 , the entire shape of the tent, which has a polyhedral shape, may be formed, and a position of the tent may be stably fixed. 
     An entrance  160  may be formed in the sheet  100  to allow the user to enter into the inner space S. For example, the entrance  160  may be defined in one surface the polyhedral shape of the tent. 
     The entrance  160 , which is defined in one surface of the polyhedral shape formed by the sheet  100 , may be variously provided so that the user may move between the inner space S and the outside. 
     The entrance  160 , which is an opening defined in the sheet  100 , may include: an entrance opening part  161  having a size for the user to enter therethrough; a mesh net (not shown) for blocking insects or the like from entering through the entrance opening part  161 ; an entrance cover member  163  covering the entrance opening part  161 ; and a detachable part  164  coupling the entrance cover member  163  to the sheet  100 . 
     As the detachable part  164 , which allows the entrance cover member  163  and the sheet  100  to be coupled to or detached from each other to open or cover the entrance opening part  161 , may particularly include a fastener (e.g., VELCRO®) or a zipper. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 9 , the sheet  100  may include a support part  170  that is supported by the supporting pole assembly  200  that will be described later. 
     The support part  170 , which is disposed on the inner ceiling portion of the sheet  100  and supported by the supporting pole assembly  200 , may be variously provided with. 
     For example, the support part  170  may be made of a material that is intensified to be supported by the supporting pole assembly  200  at preset ceiling edges of the tent, which correspond to the two peaks P 1 , P 2 . Furthermore, as a groove having a size corresponding to the portion supported by the supporting pole assembly  200  that will be described later is defined, the support part  170  may be stably supported. 
     In this case, since the support part  170  is formed at the respective positions corresponding to the two peaks P 1 , P 2  of the ceiling portion of the tent, and the supporting pole assembly  200 , which will be described later, has a Y-shape to support the sheet  100  in an inclined manner instead of vertically supporting the sheet  100  with respect to the ground, a more stable support structure may be formed. 
     Also, an edge reinforcing part  171  extending from the edge of the venting opening  100 , for example each peak P 1 , P 2  to the inner space S may be formed near the support part  170  when forming the venting opening  110 . 
     Also, the support part  170  may include a support pad  172  disposed on a portion directly contacting the supporting pole assembly  200  to enhance support stability. 
     The edge reinforcing part  171 , which reinforces the edge of the venting opening  110  when the venting opening  110  is defined in the sheet  100 , may be made of various materials and have various structures. 
     The edge reinforcing part  171  may be coupled to the support pad  172  to reinforce the edge of the venting opening  110 . 
     In accordance with another embodiment, the support part  170  may include support members (not shown) corresponding to the support portions  221 ,  231  of the supporting pole assembly  200 . 
     The support members (not shown) may be coupled to supported areas of the edge of the ceiling portion of the sheet  100 . As the support portions  221 ,  231  of the supporting pole assembly  200  are inserted into the support members, respectively, the support members may stably support the sheet  100 . 
     The support part  170  may be coupled to a support wire (not shown) connected to a support structure (not shown) that is separately installed on the ground to support the inside of the sheet  100 . 
     Also, the sheet  100  may include a light shielding part  180  to increase tent space utilization of the user and block sunlight. 
     The light shielding part  180 , which extends from the sheet  100  outside the tent to block the sunlight and form shade, may be variously provided with. 
     For example, the light shielding part  180  may include a light shielding sheet  181  overlapping the entrance  160  and a plurality of light shielding pins supporting the light shielding sheet  181  in order to install the light shielding part  180 . 
     The light shielding sheet  181  may overlap a part of the sheet  100  when the light shielding part  180  is not used and be spread and supported by the plurality of light shielding pins  182  when the light shielding part  180  is used. 
     The supporting pole assembly  200  may include a main pole member  210  installed in an upward direction in the inner space S and a pair of branch pole members  220 ,  230  that are branched from the main pole member  210  to support the sheet  100 , thereby forming the two peaks P 1 , P 2  with respect to the sheet  100 , so as to support the sheet  100  and form the inner space S having the two peaks P 1 , P 2 . The supporting pole assembly  200  may be variously provided with. 
     The main pole member  210  and the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230 , which support the sheet  100  to form the two peaks P 1 , P 2 , may desirably have an entire shape of Y and be variously provided with in accordance with a structure in which the main pole member  210  and the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  are integrated with or separated from each other. 
     The main pole member  210 , which is installed upward in the inner space S, may have various shapes such as a rod shape extending upward from the ground in an elongated manner. 
     For example, the main pole member  210  may be made of various materials such as metal and FRP and have various structures such as hollow structure in accordance with a coupling structure that will be described later. 
     Also, the main pole member  210  may be installed in perpendicular to the ground in the inner space S, and desirably, be partially buried into the ground by a predetermined depth and installed at a central portion of the inner space S for stable support. 
     In accordance with another embodiment, the main pole member  210  may be installed on the ground in a contact manner. In this case, a ground contact portion may have a wider area for stable support. 
     Also, the main pole member  210  may have a predetermined height to increase the utilization space of the inner space S, and more desirably, be formed in an elongated manner within a range to have a coupling angle at which the sheet  100  is stably supported in consideration of the coupling angle of the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230 . 
     The main pole member  210  may be made of light aluminum, alloy or FRP for better portable efficiency. Furthermore, the main pole member  210  may have at least one joint to adjust the length thereof. 
     The main pole member  210 , which is adjustable in length, may be variously provided with. 
     For example, the main pole member  210 , for example tapered pipe may have at least one joint, a groove and a protruding portion, which may fix an elongated length, may be provided with on the joint (not shown), and the elongated length may be fixed by inserting the protruding portion into the groove in a fixed manner such as a plurality of tapered pipes which connect with each other by insertion method. 
     On the contrary, as the protruding portion is pressed and separated from the groove, the joints may overlap each other, and thus the main pole member  210  may decrease in length and be easily carried out. 
     The pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230 , which are branched from the main pole member  210  to support the sheet  100  to form the two peaks P 1 , P 2 , may be variously provided with. 
     For example, the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230 , which are integrated with the main pole member  210  or branched and extended through a coupling structure, may be made of various materials such as metal or FRP and have various structures such as a hollow structure in accordance with a coupling structure that will be described later. 
     The pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  may be made of the same aluminum, alloy or FRP as that of the main pole member  210  and be adjustable in length for better portable efficiency. 
     The pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  may support the sheet  100  as the support portions  221 ,  231  contacting the sheet  100  contact the above-described support part  170 , and here, stably support the sheet  100  in correspondence to the shape of the support part  170 . 
     For example, each of the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  may have a diameter to be inserted when the support portions  221 ,  231  contacting the sheet  100  are installed in the support member. 
     In accordance with another embodiment, the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  may have a shape in which a portion of an end thereof is bent in order to allow the tent to have the pair of the peaks P 1 , P 2 , increase, through this, the utilization space of the inner space S, and support the sheet  100  at an angle in perpendicular to the ground. 
     Also, the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  may be variously provided in accordance with the structure in which the main pole member  210  and the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  are integrated with or separated from each other. 
     As a specific example, the main pole member  210  and the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  may be integrated with each other. 
     For another example, as illustrated in  FIG. 8A , the main pole member  210  has a ‘Y’-shaped ends that are branched from an end opposite to an end supported by the ground, and the ends may be coupled to the branch pole members  220 ,  230 , respectively. Here, the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  may be also integrated with each other. 
     For another example, as illustrated in  FIG. 8C  in accordance with an embodiment, the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  may be integrated with each other, and the integrated a pair of branch pole members  220 ,  230  may be coupled to the main pole member  210 . 
     Here, the integrated structure of the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  may have an entire shape of various structures such as a triangular structure. 
     The main pole member  210  and the branch pole members  220 ,  230  may be directly coupled to each other or indirectly coupled to each other through a separated connector. 
     For example, as illustrated in  FIG. 8B , the supporting pole assembly  200  may include the main pole member  210  and a pair of branch pole members  220 ,  230 , which are coupled through a connector  240 , so as to have a coupling structure between the main pole member  210  and the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230 . 
     The connector  240 , which connects the main pole member  210  to the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  to have the coupling structure between the main pole member  210  and the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230 , may be variously provided with. 
     The connector  240 , which determines an angle between the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230 , may adjust an angle between the coupling portions  241  and  242  coupled to the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  so that the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  have various angles on the basis of the height of the main pole member  210 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 8A , the connector  240  may be integrated with the main pole member  210  and include the coupling portions  241 ,  242  that are inserted into the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  in a coupled manner. In accordance with another embodiment, as illustrated in  FIG. 8C , the connector  240  may be integrated with one branch pole members  220 ,  230 , and the main pole member  210  may be inserted thereto. 
     In addition, as illustrated in  FIG. 8B , the connector  240 , as an independent component, may have three coupling portions, which are inserted into the main pole member  210  and the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  in a coupled manner, respectively. 
     Also, the connector  240 , which is coupled to the main pole member  210  and the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230  in a detachable manner, may be variously provided. 
     For example, for stable coupling between the main pole member  210  and the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230 , as a protruding portion (not shown), which is provided on the end for coupling between the main pole member  210  and the pair of the branch pole members  220 ,  230 , is inserted into an insertion hole (not shown), which has a size corresponding to the protruding portion, defined in the connector  240 , the connector  240  may be stably coupled. 
     The tent in accordance with the present invention may include the fixing-coupling means  300  for forming the outer shape of the tent together with the sheet  100 , and the fixing-coupling means  300  may be connected with a fixing structure installed at the outside of the tent and a vertex of a polygonal planar shape may be formed by the lower end of the sheet  100 . Here the polygonal planar shape is horizontally formed by the lower end of the sheet  100 . That is to say, the polygonal planar shape is defined by the horizontal projection of the lower end of the sheet  100 . 
     When the lower end of the sheet  100  has a polygonal planar shape, the fixing-coupling means  300  is coupled to the other fixing structure in the vertex of the polygonal shape, to make and maintain the sheet the outer appearance of the tent. The fixing-coupling means  300  may be variously provided with. 
     For example, the fixing-coupling means  300  may include: a fixing-coupling rope  310  having one end coupled to the sheet  100  at the lower end of the sheet  100  among corners of the sheet  100  having the polyhedral shape and the other end coupled to the fixing structure installed at the outside to fix the position of the tent; and a coupling ring  320  coupled to an end of the fixing-coupling rope  310 , thereby being coupled to the fixing structure. 
     The fixing-coupling rope  310 , which connects the sheet  100  to the fixing structure, may be variously provided with. 
     The coupling ring  320 , which allows the fixing-coupling rope  310  and the fixing structure to be easily coupled, may be variously provided with. For example, as the coupling ring  320  coupled to the fixing-coupling rope  310  is pulled to apply tension to the fixing-coupling rope  310 , the corners of the sheet  100  having the polyhedral shape may be formed. 
     In addition, the coupling ring  320  may be fixed to the ground together with a pin member that is an example of the fixing structure. As the pin member passes through the coupling ring  320  and then is inserted into the ground by a predetermined depth, the tension may be applied to the fixing-coupling rope  310  to fix the position of the tent. 
     As another embodiment, the tent in accordance with the present invention may include a plurality of connecting units  400  respectively having one end coupled to the sheet  100  and the other end coupled to the fixing-coupling means  300  between the peaks P 1 , P 2  and the fixing-coupling means  300  to form a triangular shape with the sheet  100  and the fixing-coupling means  300 . 
     That is, a direct structure, in which the edges of the sheet  100  may be separated at a predetermined height and at a portion coupled to the connecting unit  400 , and the sheet  100  extends downward, may be formed. 
     The connecting unit  400  has one end coupled to the sheet  100  and the other end coupled to the fixing-coupling means  300  at a predetermined height from the lower end of the sheet  100  to form a triangular shape with the sheet  100  and the fixing-coupling means  300 . The connecting unit  400  may be variously provided with. 
     For example, as the connecting unit  400  has one end coupled to the sheet  100  and the other end coupled to the coupling ring  320  of the fixing-coupling means  300  so that a tension is applied thereto, the connecting unit  400  may have the direct structure from the position coupled to connecting unit  400  to the lower end of the sheet  100 . 
     In this case, the connecting unit  400 , the fixing-coupling means  300 , and the sheet  100  may form the triangular shape. 
     The tent in accordance with the present invention may include a frame member  410  that is perpendicular to the ground between a position at which the connecting unit  400  is coupled to the sheet  100  and a position coupled to the fixing-coupling means  300 . 
     The frame member  410  is installed on the sheet  100  having the direct structure while perpendicular to the ground, so that the edge of the sheet  100  forms the direct structure upto a predetermined height. The frame member  410  may be variously provided with. 
     The frame member  410  may be installed perpendicular to the ground between the position at which the connecting unit  400  is coupled to the sheet  100  and the position coupled to the fixing-coupling means  300 , and more particularly, be coupled such that the fixing-coupling rope  310  is connected to the lower end of the frame member  410  in a state in which the frame member  410  is installed. Furthermore, the connecting unit  400  may be installed on an upper end of the frame member  410 . 
     In this case, the connecting unit  400  and the fixing-coupling rope  310  may be coupled to the upper end and the lower end of the frame member  410 , respectively, and be coupled together to the coupling ring  320 , thereby maintaining the tension. 
     The sheet  100  may include a cover  150  further extending from the sheet  100  at a position at which the connecting unit  400  is installed with respect to the sheet  100  in which the edge has the direct structure. 
     As a string  330  having tension at an end thereof is installed, the cover  150  may extend from the sheet  100 . 
     The string  330  may have one end coupled to an end of the cover  150  and the other end coupled to the coupling ring  320  to maintain tightness with the tension. Through this, the entire shape of the sheet  100  including the cover  150  may be maintained. 
     While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims.
