Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a perforated wall system with a fastening wall having receiving openings for a wall of a transport vehicle, a camper or a mobile home and a multifunctional seating and sleeping system.
[0002] Multifunctional seating and sleeping systems are described, for example, in documents DE 447 995 A, DE 201 21 569 U1, US 1,589,006 A, US 2011 / 0 088 163 A1, US 3,088,127 A, and US 6,212,710 B1. DE 20 2016 006 627 U1 describes a perforated wall system to which a multifunctional seating and sleeping system can be attached.
[0003] Based on this, the proposed solution is based on the task of providing a multifunctional seating and sleeping system that can be used in the smallest of spaces.
[0004] This object is achieved by a perforated wall system according to claim 1, by the use of a multifunctional seating and sleeping system according to claim 7, and by a transport vehicle according to claim 8. Possible advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
[0005] Thus, a perforated wall system is proposed with a fastening wall having receiving openings for a wall of a transport vehicle, a camper or a mobile home and with a multifunctional seating and sleeping system which is intended to be attached and fastened to the receiving openings. The seating and sleeping system has at least one sleeping system and at least one seating system and can be brought into a horizontal position by folding down about a fixed pivot point. The seating system has at least one chair and a table which are provided so as to be foldable out from a bed frame of the sleeping system. The table has a foldable table top and the at least one chair has a fold-out backrest, wherein when folded, the table strikes an adjustable table stop.
[0006] The attached figures show possible implementation variants of the proposed solution.
[0007] The multifunctional seating and sleeping system shown in the figures (cf. Fig. 1) can be used not only in immobile buildings and objects, but also in mobile facilities and objects. These include, for example, mobile containers, ships, aircraft, and vehicles of all kinds.
[0008] The multifunctional seating and sleeping system ( Fig. 1) is preferred wherever there is particularly limited space for sitting and sleeping. This significantly improves the quality of life even in confined spaces.
[0009] The multifunctional seating and sleeping system ( Fig. 1) can be mounted on a wall or used as a stand-alone version. In this non-inventive stand-alone version, the multifunctional seating and sleeping system ( Fig. 1) equipped with a stand device, with the help of which it is possible to use the multifunctional seating and sleeping system ( Fig. 1) can also be used without an existing wall.
[0010] In particular, transport vehicles such as small vans, which are in daily use by logistics companies, industry and trade, are an ideal application. Together with a newly developed load securing system, in which the walls, floor and ceiling of the van's cargo area are secured with a perforated wall system (1) ( Fig. 1), the multifunctional seating and sleeping system ( Fig. 1) can be used particularly effectively.
[0011] The perforated wall system (1) has special openings that allow for the insertion of special fastening elements (4). The multifunctional sleeping and sitting system ( Fig. 1) is easily mounted using these special fastening elements (4) ( Fig. 1, Fig. 2), attached to the mounting wall (1) Fig. (1, 2). The multifunctional seating and sleeping system ( Fig. 1) can be used due to the area-wide arranged receiving openings (2) ( Fig. 1) in a suitable position in the cargo area. To the mounting wall (1) ( Fig. 1, Fig. 2) attached and secured, in particular with a socket pin joint (8) ( Fig. 1, Fig. 2) and support joint (7) ( Fig. 1, Fig. 2), the multifunctional seating and sleeping system requires only a few centimeters ( Fig. 2) from the cargo space.
[0012] The multifunctionality of the multifunctional seating and sleeping system ( Fig. 1) is that both a complete seating group with table ( Fig. 3) and chairs, a comfortable sofa with storage space for drinks or other utensils ( Fig. 6), a single bed with comfortable slatted bed frame (5, 6), wellness mattress (3) and bedside table for storing items ( Fig. 5) and after pulling out another sliding bed base 2 (6) integrated into the fixed bed base 1 (5), which allows the bed to be extended steplessly from a single bed to a double bed. ( Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10)
[0013] The seating group is activated by pulling the support plates (12) of the chair frames (11) ( Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4) unlocked with the respective safety lock (15) and folded down ( Fig. 3, Fig. 4) until the support plates of the chair frames (12) touch the floor. Then, the backrests of the chairs (13) are folded out by lifting the seat, folding out the backrest (13), and then laying the seat down again. The chair (11) preferably has chair cushions (14) on the seat and backrest (13), which are secured with Velcro fasteners. Then, the table frame (9) with the folding table top (10) is also unlocked using the respective safety rotary lock (15) and placed on the adjustable table stop (16) ( Fig. 3) folded down into a horizontal position. This creates a comfortable seating area with chair cushions (14) and a full-size table (10) ( Fig. 3).
[0014] To make a bed ( Fig. 5) or a sofa ( Fig. 6) requires only a few simple steps. After the seating group has been folded back and secured ( Fig. 1, Fig. 2) The support feet (17) with folding fittings (18) are unlocked and unfolded by turning the corresponding safety locking latches (15). The folding fittings (17) have their own automatic locking function, which must be manually released each time they are folded in. ( Fig. 4 to Fig. 10). After loosening the plug-in pin joints (8) Fig. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7), the entire seating and sleeping system ( Fig. 1) into a horizontal position until the support feet (17) rest on the ground. ( Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7).
[0015] The table frame (9) with foldable table top (10) can be used as a handling handle and after placing it on the floor it can be used as a storage table (10) ( Fig. 5) can be used.
[0016] After placing additional upholstery parts (19) on the wellness mattress (3), a sofa with comfortable seating is created ( Fig. 6).
[0017] The single bed ( Fig. 5) occurs immediately after placing a head wedge (20) or, for example, a pillow.
[0018] After releasing another safety rotary bolt (15) ( Fig. 8) an additional, movable bed base 2 (6), which is integrated in the fixed frame bed base 1 (5), can be pulled out continuously. ( Fig. 8) The slats (21) of the sliding bed base 2 (6) are arranged in the spaces between the slats (21) of the fixed frame bed base 1 (5). After the sliding bed base 2 (6) is fully extended and one or more additional upholstered parts (19) and headboard wedges (20) are placed on top, a complete double bed is created. ( Fig. 10) The multifunctional seating and sleeping system ( Fig.1) is one of several mobile furnishing modules that, when combined with other multifunctional furniture modules, is used primarily in the small van, camper, motorhome, and mobile home sectors. Used in the small van sector, in conjunction with the new load securing system or perforated wall system (1), the van can be converted from cargo use to a camper, thus significantly increasing its utility factor.
