ABSTRACT:
A tent-hammock combination, in which up to five separate structures may be formed. The first is a hammock, the second is a hanging pup tent with the hammock serving as the floor of the tent, the third a lean-to, the fourth a ground pup tent, and the fifth a family-sized tent made by transforming and joining two group pup tents. The transition from ground pup tent to either the lean-to or family-sized tent is achieved by disconnecting the rear wall of the tent or pair of tents and pivoting its upwardly. In the lean-to version, the rear wall is pivoted until it is horizontal. In the family-sized tent, the rear wall is pivoted until it forms one continuous planar surface with the front wall, after which two such transformed tents are joined to form the large, family-sized tent. In the family-sized tent, two trianagular material inserts are used to fill in the vacant volume formed in each tent when the tent's rear wall has been pivoted upwardly. The two tents are joined by mating zipper portions formed in oppositely-disposed, facing edges of triangular inserts of the two facing tents. The poles for erecting each tent are the same as those used for the family-sized tent. The two tents are also interconnected along the structural tubes at each end of the hammock by an T-bar accessory. These structural tubes not only allow for the hanging of the hammock, but also serve to hold an end of the erecting pole for erecting the tent which is detachably secured to the hammock via cooperating zipper portions.
