Description

[0001] The invention relates to a vehicle with a built-in furniture component according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] A campervan may have a combined cooker and sink unit in the interior, in which the hob and sink are arranged side-by-side as a single, space-saving unit. This combination unit may partially cover a door opening in the vehicle body for a sliding side door.

[0003] A kitchen unit of this type for a motor vehicle to be equipped as a camper van is known from DE 41 20 958 A1. A vehicle of this type is known from DE 197 54 835 B4. A built-in furniture unit with a kitchen work surface is arranged in the vehicle interior of this vehicle. This unit has an adjustable lid that can be moved between a horizontal position, in which the kitchen work surface is covered, and an upright position, in which the kitchen work surface is exposed. The built-in furniture unit is arranged at an opening formed in a side wall of the vehicle.

[0004] Further kitchen covers for caravans are known from DE 298 04 198 U1 and US 4 082 391 A.

[0005] The object of the invention is to provide a vehicle with a built-in furniture component whose functionality is increased in a simple way compared to the prior art.

[0006] The problem is solved by the features of claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims.

[0007] The invention relates to a vehicle in whose interior a built-in furniture unit with a kitchen work surface is arranged. This unit has an adjustable lid. The lid can be adjusted between a horizontal position, in which the kitchen work surface is covered, and a vertical position, in which the kitchen work surface is exposed. The built-in furniture unit is arranged in a space-saving manner directly adjacent to an opening formed in a side wall of the vehicle. According to the invention, to increase functionality, the adjustable lid can be set into an external table position. In this external table position, the lid projects outwards through the vehicle opening, acting as an external table. This provides an additional storage option accessible from the outside of the vehicle. Furthermore, the kitchen work surface is also accessible from the outside of the vehicle.

[0008] Preferably, the kitchen work surface can include a cooktop. With the lid adjusted to the outer table position, the cooktop is accessible from outside the vehicle via the vehicle opening. The vehicle opening is a door cutout on the side of the vehicle. This can be closed by means of a vehicle door, in particular a sliding door.

[0009] In the above design variant, the cover, in its upright position, can act as a heat or flame guard, protecting the interior door paneling when the vehicle door is closed.

[0010] For ease of adjustment, it is preferable for the lid to be hinged to a pivot axis on the built-in furniture component. In this case, the lid can be pivoted freely between the cover position, the upright position, and / or the outer table position. The pivot range of the lid is 180° between the cover position and the outer table position.

[0011] In the outer table position, the lid primarily acts as a stop, preventing the vehicle door from closing while the lid is still in this position. The door can only be closed once the lid is moved from the outer table position to the upright position or the cover position. This ensures that the heat and / or flame protection on the lid is activated when the vehicle door is closed.

[0012] A simple locking mechanism for the lid in its upright position can be achieved using a pressure-sensitive detent. From this pressure-sensitive detent, the lid can be adjusted either to the cover position or to the outer table position.

[0013] An embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the accompanying figures.

[0014] They show: Fig. 1 a built-in furniture component with a lid in a vertical position; and Fig. 2 the built-in furniture part with the lid folded out into its outer table position.

[0015] In the Fig. Figure 1 shows a built-in furniture unit 1 installed in the interior of a camper van, viewed from inside the vehicle. The built-in furniture unit 1 has a cooktop 2 with two gas burners 3 on its upper work surface. Furthermore, the built-in furniture unit 1 is located directly adjacent to a side door opening 5 of the camper van, which is located in the Fig. 1 is closed by a side sliding door 7. To provide flame protection for the inner lining 9 of the sliding door 7, a hinged cover 11 is attached to the built-in furniture part 1. This is in the Fig. 1 is shown in a vertical upright position in which the flame protection for the sliding door interior trim 9 is active. When the cooktop 2 is not in use, the cover 11 can be adjusted about a pivot axis S aligned in the vehicle's longitudinal direction x to its horizontal covering position (not shown), in which the cooktop 2 is covered. In this case, the cover 11 provides a flat storage surface for objects. The cover 11 is in its vertical upright position ( Fig. 1) secured by means of a pressable latch.

[0016] A key aspect of the invention is that the lid 11 can be opened when the sliding door 7 is open ( Fig. 2) from its upright position ( Fig. 1) into a horizontal outer table position ( Fig. 2) is pivotable, in which the cover 11 projects outwards through the door opening 5 in the transverse direction y of the vehicle as an external table. In the Fig. Figure 2 shows the outer table position of the lid 11 in a view direction from the outside of the vehicle.

[0017] The lid 11 according to the invention is therefore in a pivoting range of 180° between the horizontal cover position and the horizontal outer table position ( Fig. 2) Adjustable. In the outer table position ( Fig. 2) The horizontally oriented cover 11 projects outwards from the door opening 5 with a cover overhang Δy. The cover overhang Δy acts as a movement stop that prevents the sliding door 7 from closing when the cover 11 is in the outer table position. Closing of the sliding door 11 is only possible when the cover 11 is moved from the outer table position ( Fig. 2) into its upright position ( Fig. 1) or is moved into its cover position. This ensures that the flame protection on the hob 2 is automatically activated when the sliding door 7 is closed.
