[0003] According to recent increase in camping people, there is a growing trend that produced camping goods are diversified and available for convenient use.

[0004] Among the camping goods, a tent is necessarily required for sleeping in campsites. As the bottom part of the tent is made of thin fabric, comfortable sleep may be obtained by installing an air mattress or a camp bed on the bottom part of the tent.

[0005] However, as the camp bed generally consists of a steel or wood frame, a bottom part made of a fabric material is installed on the frame whereby users could take a rest by lying down or seating down on the bottom part. However, the camp bed is bulky and heavy, having a problem such that it is difficult to move the camp bed.

[0006] As a related art to solve this problem, Korean Patent Application Publication No. 10-2017-0006921 proposes a bed frame of air panel having double wall fabric. The major technical configurations thereof are: an air panel 10 comprising a coating layer 13 formed on an external side surface of a double wall fabric woven to connect a first fabric layer 11 and a second fabric layer 11' therebetween with numerous fabric yarns 12, the first fabric layer 11 and the second fabric layer 11' being in a shape of double walls corresponding to each other, to thereby support an air mattress M made of double wall fabric in a state of being isolated from ground surface, and a chamber 14 which is expanded by the pressure of air which is injected through an air inlet provided in a side surface; and a frame 1 which is made by bonding the edges of a plurality of air panels 10 to be connected with each other at right angles in a state where the first fabric layer 11 and the second fabric layer 11' provided in the air panels 13 stand vertically, the frame 1 being expanded into a square wall whose inside is empty, by the pressure of air injected into the chamber 14, the frame 1 having a plurality of strap-shaped supports 15 which are attached to an internal side surface thereof so as to cross the opposite air panels 13 facing each other, and to support the bottom surface of the air mattress M when the air mattress M is seated on the frame.

[0007] However, according to the above-described related art, the air panel 10 is expanded into a wall of the square shape, making the air panel 10 bulky and heavy, making it difficult to handle the same. Additionally, the air panels are bonded to connect the edge parts thereof at right angles, posing problems such as difficult manufacture and increase in production cost.

[0008] The foregoing is intended merely to aid in the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and is not intended to mean that the present disclosure falls within the purview of the related art that is already known to those skilled in the art.

[0036] According to the present disclosure, a multi-purpose air bed 50 having combined use for a tent employs a simple configuration which enables installation thereof to be completed by injecting air thereinto, is small in volume and light which makes it easy to install and carry the multi-purpose air bed, and is also capable of supporting an air mattress firmly. As illustrated in FIGS. 2A to 6, the multi-purpose air bed 50 includes a pair of support members 100 and 200 installed vertically on the ground, and an air mattress 300 installed between the support members 100 and 200 to connect the support members 100 and 200.

[0037] To describe in more detail, as illustrated in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the support members 100 and 200 and the air mattress 300 respectively are made of dual wall fabric whose inside is formed with reinforced fabric yarns t. The multi-purpose air bed 50 having combined use for a tent according to the present disclosure can be easily installed by injecting air through air inlets 110, 210, and 310 provided in one sides of the support members 100 and 200 and the air mattress 300 respectively. As a predetermined thickness of each of the support members 100 and 200 and the air mattress 300 is maintained and strength is formed due to the reinforced yarns t provided inside thereof, deformation thereof by external force does not easily occur, thereby enabling stable use of the multi-purpose air bed having combined use for a tent. It is also possible to decrease the volume thereof by deflating the air after use, and this makes it easy to carry and store the multi-purpose air bed 50 having combined use for a tent according to the present disclosure.

[0038] The air mattress 300 may be installed to be provided between the support members 100 and 200 by means of a coupling means such as Velcro tape, a zipper, etc.

[0039] That is, installation of the multi-purpose air bed having combined use for a tent according to the present disclosure is completed by attaching corresponding Velcro tapes 102, 202, and 302 provided in opposite sides of the support members 100 and 200 and in opposite sides of the air mattress 300 to be coupled to each other.

[0040] However, installation positions of the Velcro tapes as described above are not limited to the above-described embodiment of the present disclosure. Rather, the Velcro tapes may be in more various forms which can install the air mattress 300 firmly between the support members 100 and 200. In addition to the Velcro tape, the air mattress 300 and the support members 100 and 200 may be coupled with each other by use of various coupling means including a zipper, a snap button, etc.

[0041] In addition, as the air mattress 300 at a position of being installed in the support members 100 and 200 is spaced apart from ground by a predetermined height, damage to the air mattress that may result from a ground condition may be prevented. Also, the multi-purpose air bed 50 with combined use for a tent can be more comfortably used by allowing air to be deflated below the air mattress 300.

[0042] As illustrated in FIGS. 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B, the support members 100 and 200 may be embodied in various shapes including a streamlined shape, a triangular shape, a rectangular shape, etc. The multi-purpose air bed 50 is configured to reduce the weights of the support members 100 and 200 by forming concave parts 120 and 220 concaved upwards on each lower surface thereof being supported on the ground.

[0043] In addition, penetration parts 130 and 230 may be formed in predetermined positions of the support members 100 and 200 by penetrating the support members 100 and 200. The penetration parts 130 and 23 not only serve to reduce weights of the support members 100 and 200 but also provide openness when the multi-purpose air bed is used. The penetration parts 130 and 130 may be formed in various shapes, producing an effect of giving aesthetic sensibility.

[0044] Also, the multi-purpose air bed may be configured to block an inner part and an outer part thereof by further installing transparent windows 132 and 232 in the penetration parts 130 and 230.

[0045] As illustrated in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the multi-purpose air bed having combined use for a tent according to the present disclosure may be further provided with a support frame 400 installed between the support members 100 and 200 to connect the support members 100 and 200, thereby supporting the air mattress 300.

[0046] That is, a plurality of the support frame 400 are installed at regular intervals between the support members 100 and 200. Coupling members 140 and 240 are provided in opposite sides of the support members 100 and 200, and opposite ends of each support frame 400 are fitted into the coupling members 140 and 240.

[0047] Due to the support frames 400 described above, the support members 100 and 200 can be installed vertically, with maintaining the regular intervals thereof. As the air mattress 300 can be seated on and supported by the upper sides of the support frames 400, there is an effect such that the air mattress 300 can maintain a state of being more firmly installed.

[0048] As illustrated in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the support frames 400 may be configured to be simply in a straight shape and to fit and couple opposite ends thereof into and with the coupling members 140 and 240. As illustrated in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the support frame 400 may be configured in such a manner that opposite ends of the support frame 400' are formed toward the ground in a bent shape, through holes 142 and 242 penetrating vertically are formed in the coupling members 140' and 240', and the opposite ends of the support frame 400 can be supported on the ground by fitting opposite ends of the support frame 400 into the through holes 142 and 242.

[0049] The multi-purpose air bed 50 may be configured so that a seating member 500 is further installed by being connected to the support frame 400, so as to seat and support the air mattress 300 on or between the support members 100 and 200, thereby being capable of supporting the air mattress 300 more stably together with the support frame 400.

[0050] That is, as the corresponding lower part of the air mattress 300 is supported by the seating member 500 between the support frames 400 installed spaced apart from each other, there is an effect such that the weight of the air mattress 300 can be equally applied to each support frame 400.

[0051] The seating member 500 is fixed by a fixing means. The fixing means has opposite ends that can be fixed to the support members 100 and 200 by means of a zipper, Velcro tape, etc., and may also be fixedly bonded to each other by a method of thermal fusing, etc. The seating member 500 may be in a mesh form having air permeability, which serves to maintain comfortability when the multi-purpose air bed 50 is used.

[0052] Meanwhile, the multi-purpose air bed 50 may be further provided with an interval maintaining member 700 to maintain an interval between the support members 100 and 200.

[0053] The interval maintaining member 700 is configured in a rod shape, inside of which is hollow, and is installed to support the support members 100 and 200 between the upper sides of the support members 100 and 200 on which the air mattress 300 is installed. Fixing members 160 and 260 into which opposite ends of the interval maintaining member 700 is fitted for coupling are provided in the opposite sides of the support members 100 and 200.

[0054] As the support members 100 and 200 are supported by the interval maintaining member 700, the interval between the support members 100 and 200 is maintained without being widened or being narrowed although any external force is applied thereto.

[0055] As illustrated in FIG. 6, the multi-purpose air bed 50 having combined use for a tent according to the present disclosure may be configured to further include a cover member 600 that covers an upper outer circumferential surfaces of the support members 100 and 200, so as to block the inner part and the outer part of the multi-purpose air bed 50.

[0056] The cover member 50 is installed on upper ends or outer sides of the support members 100 and 200 to be detachable by coupling means of a zipper, a snap button, Velcro tape, etc., being simple in installation. The cover member 40 may also function as a door which enables a user to enter into and out of the inner part and the outer part of the multi-purpose air bed 50 by opening a part of the cover member 600.

[0057] In addition, the cover member 600 functions to block sunlight, wind, rainwater, etc. and is capable of being used as a tent.

[0058] According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, as illustrated in FIG. 7, a part or the whole of the central part of the air mattress 300 is cut, forming a cutout part 320, through which the user can put his/her legs downward, whereby the multi-purpose air bed having combined use for a tent can be utilized in a more various manner.

[0059] That is, the cutout part 320 may be formed by partially cutting the central part of the air mattress 300 in a predetermined shape and in a penetrating manner. Although it is not illustrated, the whole part of the air mattress 300 may be cut so as to form the cutout part 320, thereby allowing the air mattress to be divided.

[0060] At this time, it is also advisable to form the seating member 500 with a penetration part 510 corresponding to the cutout part 320, so that the user's legs are not trapped in the seating member 500.

[0061] With this configuration, the multi-purpose bed 50 can be utilized for various uses such that users can sit across from each other on opposite sides of the air mattress 300 of the multi-purpose air bed 50 with lowering their legs in the cutout part 320. In addition, by installing a table (not shown) on the upper side of the cutout part 320, users can conduct eating or reading.

[0062] According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, as illustrated in FIGS. 8A and 8B, a plurality of the multi-purpose air beds 50 may be installed continuously in a lateral direction and then be used.

[0063] By way of example, as illustrated in FIG. 7, another support member 100' may be installed in a side part of the support member 200 in one side of the multi-purpose air bed 50, and the air mattress 300, the support frame 400, the seating member 500, etc. may be connected between the support members 200 and 100' as in the above-described embodiment, thereby a plurality of multi-purpose air beds 50 may be installed in a lateral direction.

[0064] At this time, as the other configurations of the multi-purpose air bed 50 are identical to those of the other embodiments thereof, description thereof is omitted herein.

[0065] According to the multi-purpose air bed 50 having combined use for a tent according to the present disclosure, the multi-purpose air bed 50 employs a simple configuration which serves to complete installation of the multi-purpose air bed 50 by injecting air thereinto, is small in volume and light which makes it easy to install and, and is also capable of supporting an air mattress firmly.
