Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a sleeping cabin with a wall forming a substantially closed interior space.

[0002] Such sleeping cabins are particularly common in densely populated urban areas. They are typically equipped with a mattress or similar sleeping space. They often have only one lockable access opening, usually a door, and are frequently windowless. They generally serve as inexpensive temporary accommodation as an alternative to a traditional hotel room. Sleeping cabins of this type are often arranged in large numbers close to one another within a building.

[0003] The present invention also relates to an arrangement comprising a lower sleeping cabin and an upper sleeping cabin arranged above the lower sleeping cabin. Such arrangements serve to maximize the available, usually limited, space at the installation site.

[0004] The problem with both the existing sleeping cabins and the existing layouts is that, despite their enclosed interior, they often offer only an inadequate degree of privacy. On the other hand, the space utilization in these existing layouts is often suboptimal.

[0005] DE 102011 101 080 A1 discloses a sleeping box comprising two separate sleeping cabins, each with a changing area and a sleeping area, in which the sleeping cabins are designed and arranged such that the changing areas are arranged next to each other, while the sleeping areas are arranged above or below each other.

[0006] US 3,724,143 discloses a commercial building construction in which T-shaped and / or L-shaped elements are arranged one above the other.

[0007] Against the background described, the object of the present invention is to provide a sleeping cabin of the type mentioned at the outset and an arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset, which ensure improved use of the available space while at the same time ensuring adequate privacy inside the sleeping cabin.

[0008] The underlying problem is solved with regard to a sleeping cabin of the type mentioned at the outset with a sleeping cabin according to claim 1 in that the wall is designed to be sound-insulating at least in sections. The fact that sound insulation of the wall is provided according to the invention results in a considerable improvement in comfort for users of the sleeping cabin with regard to privacy. This is because, in conventional sleeping cabins, this is often impaired by inadequate acoustic decoupling from the outside world and / or from neighboring sleeping cabins. The fact that sound insulation of the wall is provided at least in sections according to the invention means that several sleeping cabins can be arranged close to one another in order to ensure the best possible use of the available space while at the same time guaranteeing the privacy of the users.

[0009] According to the sleeping cabin according to the invention, it is designed to be stackable with another sleeping cabin. This further improves the utilization of available space. This is particularly true for buildings with sufficiently high floor heights, where the sleeping cabin according to the invention also allows the ceiling height to be utilized. The sleeping cabins according to the invention are therefore also suitable, for example, for installation in exhibition halls, former factory halls, or similar buildings with particularly high ceilings.

[0010] In order to improve the stackability of several sleeping cabins on top of each other, the invention provides that the sleeping cabin, in a vertical longitudinal section, essentially has the shape of a concave rectangular hexagon with a length, a width, a short length, a short width, an inner length and an inner width. As is well known, a concave rectangular hexagon is created when one corner of a rectangle is cut out inwards in a rectangular manner. The rectangular hexagon therefore has five right angles and one counterpart, namely a 270° angle. The length and width initially indicate the dimensions of the rectangle from which the rectangular cutout is cut out. The inner length and the inner width, on the other hand, indicate the dimensions of the rectangular cutout. Accordingly, the short length is the difference between the length minus the inner length. Accordingly, the short width is the difference between the width and the inner width.The inventive design of the sleeping cabin, a concave rectangular hexagon, allows for stacking multiple sleeping cabins for optimized space utilization. In conjunction with the sound-insulating walls, the privacy of the occupants of each sleeping cabin is also ensured.

[0011] In this context, it is preferred within the scope of the invention if the wall is designed to be sound-insulating in an adjacent section intended to border a floor section and / or to border a side section of the additional sleeping cabin arranged above it. In this way, in the best case, a substantial acoustic decoupling of the stacked sleeping cabins from one another can be achieved according to the invention.

[0012] In the embodiment of the sleeping cabin according to the invention, the wall, at least in sections, particularly in the adjacent section, has a layer of a preferably medium-density fiberboard. Medium-density fiberboards have proven particularly suitable for the purposes of the invention because they exhibit uniform swelling and shrinkage behavior in the plane of the board. They consist of the finest fibers, often bark-free softwood, which are pressed into a wood-based material that is equally homogeneous in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. The choice of a medium-density fiberboard surprisingly ensures an optimum in terms of achievable sound insulation on the one hand and strength on the other.

[0013] In a further advantageous embodiment of the sleeping cabin according to the invention, the wall comprises, at least in sections, particularly in the adjacent section, a layer of jute fibers and supporting fibers. The layer of jute fibers and supporting fibers according to the invention is surprisingly characterized by good soundproofing properties.

[0014] In a further advantageous embodiment of the sleeping cabin according to the invention, the wall comprises, at least in sections, preferably in the adjacent section, a layer of expanded polystyrene. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is known to be a foam material that preferably consists of approximately 98% air and 2% polystyrene. In the context of the invention, EPS is surprisingly suitable for acoustic insulation.

[0015] In another advantageous embodiment of the sleeping cabin according to the invention, the wall has, at least in sections, particularly in the contact section, a layer of open-cell polyurethane foam. This has also proven to be beneficial for soundproofing.

[0016] According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the wall comprises, at least in sections, particularly in the adjacent section, a layer of cement-bonded lightweight concrete, which is preferably provided with a cover layer reinforcement, in particular of a preferably alkali-resistant glass mesh. Advantageously, the layer can have a sandwich structure in which the cement-bonded lightweight concrete building board is provided on both sides with alkali-resistant glass mesh. In conjunction with the invention, the layer according to the invention is suitable for insulating both airborne and impact sound.

[0017] If, in an advantageous embodiment of the sleeping cabin according to the invention, the wall has a layer of carpet material at least in sections, in particular in the adjacent section, additional sound insulation of the interior of the sleeping cabin can advantageously be combined with a feel and / or appearance of the wall that is pleasant for the user.

[0018] Furthermore, a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the wall, at least in sections, particularly in the adjacent section, has a layer of bitumen-impregnated wool felt cardboard. This material has proven particularly suitable for the invention due to its structure-borne sound insulation and airborne sound insulation. This results in very good sound deadening and dampening properties. Furthermore, the material is characterized by good resistance to water, alcohols, diluted acids, and alkalis.

[0019] Particularly good results in terms of sound insulation can be achieved within the scope of the invention if the wall is designed in multiple layers, at least in sections. In this way, one or more layers of the aforementioned type can be stacked to achieve maximum sound insulation.

[0020] If the wall, at least in sections, preferably in the adjacent section, has successively layered at least one layer of a, preferably medium-density, wood fiber board, at least one layer of a cement-bonded lightweight concrete, at least one, preferably two, layer(s) of bitumen-impregnated wool felt cardboard, a further layer of a cement-bonded lightweight concrete and a layer of a carpet material, a particularly good sound insulation of the sleeping cabin is obtained within the scope of the invention.

[0021] According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the wall has, at least in sections, preferably in a bottom section, successively layered at least one layer of a, preferably medium-density, wood fiber board, at least one layer of expanded polystyrene and a further layer of a, preferably medium-density, wood fiber board.

[0022] Particularly for a side section, it has proven advantageous within the scope of the invention if the wall, at least in sections, preferably in a side section, has at least one layer of a preferably medium-density fiberboard and at least one layer of a layer-glued fiberboard, layered in succession. Within the scope of the invention, this layering surprisingly results in a particularly favorable sound-insulating effect for a side section of the wall. The layer-glued fiberboard can consist in particular of natural wood fiber and can preferably be 30 mm thick. It has been shown within the scope of the invention that the heat-insulating layer advantageously also has sound-insulating properties.

[0023] In the sleeping cabin according to the invention, the adjoining section preferably has, in successive layers, at least one layer of a preferably medium-density wood fiber board and a layer of jute fibers and supporting fibers.

[0024] The object directed to an arrangement of the type mentioned above is achieved according to the invention with an arrangement having the features of claim 14 in that the arrangement has, in a vertical longitudinal section, essentially the shape of a rectangular quadrilateral. In this way, according to the invention, two sleeping cabins can be stacked in such a way that a very favorable utilization of the space is ensured.

[0025] In this context, the invention provides that each of the sleeping cabins has, in a vertical longitudinal section, substantially the shape of a concave rectangular hexagon having a length, a width, a short length, a short width, an inner length and an inner width.

[0026] A space-saving stacking of the two sleeping cabins of the arrangement according to the invention can be achieved in particular if the upper sleeping cabin with the short length is arranged as the first floor element of the upper sleeping cabin above the inner length as the first ceiling element of the lower sleeping cabin, and the inner length is arranged as the second floor element of the upper sleeping cabin above the short length as the second ceiling element of the lower sleeping cabin. The upper sleeping cabin rests in the manner of an inverted L on the likewise essentially L-shaped lower sleeping cabin to form an overall quadrangular, generally rectangular, arrangement. The available headroom can thus be designed in a space-saving manner with two sleeping cabins.

[0027] To ensure privacy through soundproofing in the arrangement according to the invention, an air layer is formed between the lower sleeping cabin and the upper sleeping cabin. This advantageously achieves sound decoupling according to the invention.

[0028] From the perspective of sound insulation, it has proven advantageous within the scope of the invention if, in the arrangement according to the invention, a sleeping area in the upper sleeping cabin is arranged on the second floor element of the upper sleeping cabin. If the second floor element of the upper sleeping cabin is arranged above the second ceiling element of the lower sleeping cabin, this ensures the greatest possible sound decoupling of the upper sleeping cabin from the lower sleeping cabin. If the sleeping area includes a mattress that rests on the floor, sound insulation is further improved.

[0029] In particular, in the arrangement according to the invention, the upper sleeping cabin and / or the lower sleeping cabin is designed according to one of claims 1 to 13.

[0030] According to a variant of the arrangement according to the invention, at least two lower sleeping cabins and / or at least two upper sleeping cabins are arranged next to one another, with upper sleeping cabins preferably arranged next to one another being connected to one another, in particular by means of a flange connection. Space utilization can be advantageously further optimized in this way.

[0031] Particularly effective sound decoupling is obtainable within the scope of the invention if the arrangement according to the invention is designed to be supported on a base, with both the upper sleeping cabin and the lower sleeping cabin each being supported directly on the base. By avoiding the upper sleeping cabin being supported on the lower sleeping cabin in this embodiment of the arrangement according to the invention, it can advantageously be achieved that there is no mechanical connection between structural elements of the upper sleeping cabin and structural elements of the lower sleeping cabin, via which sound can be transmitted. Rather, the static decoupling according to the invention can provide an air layer between the upper sleeping cabin and the lower sleeping cabin. Sound insulation is thus further improved.Direct support of the upper sleeping cabin on the ground can be achieved, for example, by having the side walls of the upper sleeping cabin project downwards over the floor elements of the upper sleeping cabin to such an extent that the lower sleeping cabin finds space in the area between the side elements and floor elements of the upper sleeping cabin.

[0032] The invention is described by way of example in a preferred embodiment with reference to a drawing, wherein further advantageous details can be taken from the figures of the drawing.

[0033] Functionally identical parts are provided with the same reference symbols.

[0034] The figures in the drawing show in detail: Fig. 1: (a) a side sectional view through an arrangement according to the invention comprising an upper sleeping cabin according to the invention and a lower sleeping cabin according to the invention; (b) a horizontal sectional view along the line BB in Figure (a); Fig. 2: Detailed view of area II from Fig. 1 (a); Fig. 3: Detailed view of area III from Fig. 1 (a); Fig. 4: Detailed view of area IV from Fig. 1 (a); Fig. 5: Side view in the direction of arrow V from Fig. 1 shows an arrangement of a number of sleeping cabins according to the invention.

[0035] The Fig. 1 shows in a vertical longitudinal section an arrangement 1 according to the invention comprising a lower sleeping cabin 2 according to the invention and an upper sleeping cabin 3 arranged above the lower sleeping cabin 2. Both the lower sleeping cabin 2 and the upper sleeping cabin 3 have in the vertical longitudinal section according to Fig. 1 (a) the shape of a concave rectangular hexagon. The lower sleeping cabin 2, with respect to the geometric shape of the concave rectangular hexagon, is characterized by a length 4 and a width 5, which characterize the basic rectangular shape of the lower sleeping cabin 2. Furthermore, the lower sleeping cabin 2 is characterized in this sense by the short length 6 of the first ceiling element 7 and by the inner length 8 of the second ceiling element 9. Finally, the cross-section of the lower sleeping cabin 2 is also characterized by the inner width 10 of the side element 11.

[0036] On the other hand, the upper sleeping cabin 3, in the sense of the geometric figure in the form of a concave rectangular hexagon, is characterized by a length 12 of the ceiling element 14, which approximately corresponds to the sum of the short length 6 and the inner length 8 of the lower sleeping cabin 2. Furthermore, the upper sleeping cabin 3 is characterized by the width 13 of the side element 15. Finally, the upper sleeping cabin 3 is characterized by the inner length 16 of the first floor element 17, the short length 18 of the second floor element, and finally, the inner width 20 of the adjacent element 21.

[0037] As from the Fig. 1 (a), the upper sleeping cabin 3 is arranged above the lower sleeping cabin 2 such that the second floor element 19 of the upper sleeping cabin 3 is arranged above the second ceiling element 9 of the lower sleeping cabin 2 and the first floor element 17 of the upper sleeping cabin 3 is arranged above the first ceiling element 7 of the lower sleeping cabin 2.

[0038] This also creates an adjoining area between the side element 11 of the lower sleeping cabin 2 and the adjoining element 21 of the upper sleeping cabin 3. Accordingly, the arrangement 1 of the lower sleeping cabin 2 and the upper sleeping cabin 3 as a whole in the Fig. 1 (a) has the shape of a rectangular quadrilateral.

[0039] It can also be seen that in the upper sleeping cabin 3, a sleeping place 22 consisting of a mattress topper and a mattress is arranged such that it rests on the second floor element 17.

[0040] The Fig. 1 (b) shows a horizontal sectional view along the line B - B in Fig. 1 (a), a top view of the upper sleeping cabin 3.

[0041] As can be seen, the first floor element 9 forms the pivoting area 23 of the door 24 to the upper sleeping cabin 3. A user of the upper sleeping cabin 3 can stand on the first floor element 19 when entering the upper sleeping cabin 3. Therefore, in this area, the best possible sound insulation from the second ceiling element 9 of the lower sleeping cabin 2 is particularly important.

[0042] The Fig. 2 shows a detailed view of section II from Fig. 1 (a). The structure of the walls of the sleeping cabins 2, 3 of arrangement 1 can be seen according to Fig. 1. Accordingly, the second ceiling element 9 of the lower sleeping cabin 2 has a multi-layer structure. Directly adjacent to the interior space 25 of the lower sleeping cabin 2, the second ceiling element 9 has a 28 mm thick layer consisting of a medium-density fiberboard 26. Adjoining the medium-density fiberboard 26 is an insulating mat 27 made of jute fibers and supporting fibers with a thickness of 32 mm. The jute mat 27 consists of 85 to 90% jute fiber, 8 to 10% PLA-based biopolymer supporting fibers, and 2.5% soda for fire protection.

[0043] The side element 28 of the lower sleeping cabin 2, which adjoins the second ceiling element 9, also consists of an MDF board 29, starting from the interior space 25. A 20 mm thick, laminated fiberboard 30 is attached to the MDF board 29. Further outward, a 10 mm thick air layer 31 adjoins the laminated fiberboard 30. The air layer 31 is delimited by the laminated fiberboard 30 and the 28 mm thick MDF board 32 of the upper sleeping cabin 3, which extends further outward.

[0044] In the upper part of the Fig. Figure 2 shows a detailed view of the wall formed by the first floor element 19 of the upper sleeping cabin 3, with its multi-layer structure. Starting from the interior space 33 of the upper sleeping cabin 3, the first floor element 19 initially has a carpet layer 34 with a thickness of 10 mm. Adjoining the carpet layer 34 is a cement-bonded lightweight concrete construction panel 35 with a thickness of 12.5 mm, featuring a sandwich structure and a cover layer reinforced on both sides with alkali-resistant glass fiber mesh. Adjoining the lightweight concrete construction panel 35 are two identically designed layers of bitumen-impregnated wool felt cardboard 36, 37, each 5.3 mm thick. Finally, the outer wool felt board 37 is followed by another lightweight concrete construction board 38 with a thickness of 12.5 mm, which is identical in construction to the lightweight concrete construction board 35. The carpet layer 34 projects laterally beyond the layers below.The lightweight concrete building panels 35, the wool felt boards 36, 37 and the outer lightweight concrete building panel 38 are closed with an edge insulation strip 39 with a thickness of 8 mm in the area in which the carpet layer 34 projects beyond these layers.

[0045] Finally, the first floor element 19 of the upper sleeping cabin 3 is closed on the outside with a 38 mm thick MDF panel 40. The MDF panel 40 of the first floor element 19 of the upper sleeping cabin 3 is arranged above the MDF panel 32 of the side element 28 of the lower sleeping cabin 2 in such a way that a 10 mm thick air layer 41 is created between the jute mat 27 forming the outer end of the second ceiling element 9 of the lower sleeping cabin 2 and the MDF panel forming the outer end of the first floor element 19 of the upper sleeping cabin. The horizontal air layer 41 communicates with the vertical air layer 31.

[0046] The upper right side element 15 of the upper sleeping cabin 3 is constructed like the side element 28 of the lower sleeping cabin 2, i.e. starting from the interior space 33 with an MDF board 29, an insulation 30, an air layer 31 and an MDF board 32 closing off the upper side element 15 to the outside.

[0047] Further illustrated Fig. 2, that the upper sleeping cabin 3 is supported on the base 52 via the MDF board 40 on a lower side element 51 that projects downwards beyond the first floor element 19. The side element 51 has the same structure in terms of material and thickness as the upper right side element 15. The weight of the upper sleeping cabin 3 is thus diverted on the right-hand side in the figures via the lower side wall 51 into the base 52 and is therefore completely decoupled from the lower sleeping cabin 2.

[0048] Accordingly, the upper left side element 53 of the upper sleeping cabin 3 is supported on the base 52 by the lower left side element 54, which projects downwards beyond the second floor element 17. In cooperation with the lower right side element 51, the weight forces of the upper sleeping cabin 3 are thus diverted directly into the base 52, completely relieving the load on the lower sleeping cabin 2.

[0049] The Fig. 3 shows detail III from Fig. 1 (a). The multi-layered structure of the adjoining element 21 of the upper sleeping cabin 3 and the multi-layered structure of the side element 11 of the lower sleeping cabin 2, which adjoins the adjoining element 21 of the upper sleeping cabin 3, can be seen. Furthermore, the multi-layered structure of the first floor element 19 of the upper sleeping cabin 3 can be seen, which adjoins the second ceiling element 9 of the lower sleeping cabin 2. The structure of the first floor element 19 of the upper sleeping cabin 3 and the second ceiling element 9 of the lower sleeping cabin 2 have already been described in connection with the Fig. 2 described.

[0050] The adjoining element 21, extending from the interior space 33 of the upper sleeping cabin 3, initially comprises a 10 mm thick carpet layer 34. Adjoining the carpet layer 34 are a lightweight concrete construction panel 35, two wool felt boards 36, 37, each 5.3 mm thick, another lightweight concrete construction panel 38, 12.5 mm thick, and finally a 38 mm thick MDF board 40. The structure of the adjoining element 21 is thus similar to that of the first floor element 19 in terms of layers.

[0051] As in Fig. 3, the layers of the first floor element 19, which build on the MDF board 40 to the interior 33 of the upper sleeping cabin 3, are also closed off to the left by an edge insulation strip 39, to which the lightweight concrete construction board 38 of the adjoining element 21 adjoins at the top.

[0052] How to continue in Fig. 3, the side element 11 of the lower sleeping cabin 2 is constructed in multiple layers, with an MDF board 26 with a thickness of 28 mm extending outwards from the interior space 25 of the lower sleeping cabin 2 and provided with a jute mat 27 which has the same properties as the jute mat 27 of the second ceiling element 9 of the lower sleeping cabin 2. A 10 mm thick air layer 41 is formed between the jute mat 27 of the side element 11 and the MDF board 40 of the adjacent element 21 of the upper sleeping cabin 3. The air layer 41 communicates with the air layer 41 formed between the second ceiling element 9 of the lower sleeping cabin 2 and the first floor element 19 of the upper sleeping cabin 3.

[0053] The Fig. 4 shows the detail IV from Fig. 1 (a). The transition area between the second floor element 17 and the border element 21 of the upper sleeping cabin 3 and the transition between the first ceiling element 7 and the side element 11 of the lower sleeping cabin 2 can be seen in detail. Fig. 4 shows in detail the multi-layer structure of the second floor element 17 of the upper sleeping cabin 3. Accordingly, the second floor element 17, on which the sleeping area 22 of the upper sleeping cabin 3 is supported, is constructed from an MDF board 43 of 22 mm thickness with a primer film, starting from the interior 33.

[0054] The MDF panel 43 is adjoined to the outside by a 40 mm thick thermal insulation panel 42 made of expanded polystyrene. The EPS thermal insulation panel 42 is adjoined to the outside by a 38 mm thick MDF panel 40, which corresponds in structure to the MDF panel 40 of the adjacent element 21 of the upper sleeping cabin 3. Further outward from the MDF panel 40, a 10 mm thick air layer 41 adjoins the second floor element 17. The air layer 41 communicates with the air layer 41 between the side element of the lower sleeping cabin and the adjacent element 21 of the upper sleeping cabin 3.

[0055] On the other hand, Fig. 4 also shows the layered structure of the first ceiling element 7 of the lower sleeping cabin 2. Starting from the interior space 25 of the lower sleeping cabin 2, this is constructed from an MDF board 26, which is designed similarly to the MDF board 26 of the side element 11 of the lower sleeping cabin 2. A 32 mm thick jute mat 27 is attached to the outside of the MDF board 26 of the first ceiling element 7. The jute mat 27 is constructed similarly to the jute mat 27 of the side element 11 of the lower sleeping cabin 2.

[0056] The Fig. 5 shows a view in the direction of arrow V from Fig. 1 one opposite the view from Fig. 1(a) and 90° rotated side plan view of an inventive arrangement of a number of sleeping cabins. Fig. 5(a) a unit consisting of a lower sleeping cabin 2 and an upper sleeping cabin 3, each designed as a double cabin. Fig. Figure 5(b) shows a variant of a stacked sleeping cabin arrangement, in which a lower double cabin 44 and an upper double cabin 45 are arranged one above the other. Furthermore, adjacent to the arrangement of the upper and lower double cabins 44, 45, to the right is an arrangement consisting of an upper single cabin 46 and a lower single cabin 47 with an entrance on the right. The upper single cabin 46 is connected to the upper double cabin 45 via a flange connection (not shown) to prevent lateral movement.

[0057] In Fig. 5(a), an upper double cabin 48 is connected to a lower double cabin 49 with an entrance on the right, which is designed as a mirror image of the lower or upper double cabin 44, 45. Between the unit consisting of the upper and lower double cabins 48, 49 and the upper and lower double cabins 45, 44, there is a staircase 50 for reaching the respective upper cabin 48, 45.

[0058] The Fig. 5(c) shows a further staircase 50 connected to the unit according to Fig. 5(b) adjoining unit comprising a total of four sleeping cabins consisting of two double cabins 45, 44 arranged one above the other and, attached to the side, two single cabins 46, 47 arranged one above the other.

[0059] The Fig. 5 (d) shows another variant in which two single cabins arranged one above the other with an entrance on the left are connected to two double cabins arranged one above the other with an entrance on the right.

[0060] Fig. Figure 5 (e) shows a unit consisting of four double cabins, the entrance doors of which are arranged mirrored to each other.

[0061] Finally, the Fig. 5 (f) an arrangement of an upper and a lower single cabin, in which the entrance of the lower double cabin is located on the left. By arranging single or double cabins according to Fig. 5 Within the scope of the invention, a space can advantageously be filled in an optimized manner with a total of seven lower double cabins and seven upper double cabins as well as three lower single cabins and three upper single cabins.

[0062] Due to the sound decoupling of both the upper cabins from the lower cabins and the laterally adjacent cabins, the invention advantageously ensures privacy for the users in each cabin. At the same time, good space utilization is ensured, which is particularly important in metropolitan areas.
