Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a receiving device, in particular for receiving long, slender objects, in particular an umbrella.
[0002] Motor vehicles typically have a so-called trunk, a storage area that typically cannot be accessed from the vehicle interior. To access the trunk, a trunk lid is typically opened, allowing loading and unloading from outside the vehicle. For example, if an umbrella is in the trunk, it's impossible to remove it and use it in the rain without first getting wet.
[0003] Therefore, further possibilities for storing an umbrella have become known in the prior art. KR 10 2021 0 073 628 A discloses a tubular holder that is open at one end and has a spring-loaded dispensing mechanism that allows the umbrella to be extended when actuated by a switch.
[0004] JP 2014-221 564 A discloses an umbrella storage unit which is open and allows the storage of an umbrella between the seat and the door of the motor vehicle.
[0005] DE 20 2009 008 899 U1 discloses a receiving device for an umbrella, which is arranged on a rear side of a headrest of a seat of a motor vehicle.
[0006] DE 10 2007 011 518 A1 discloses a module carrier of a motor vehicle, which extends to the vehicle roof and forms a center console with lighting, folding table, storage compartments and screens.
[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a mounting device that allows for the secure mounting of an umbrella, wherein the mounting device is suitable for umbrellas of different sizes and the umbrella is protected from dirt during storage. It is also the object of the present invention to provide a motor vehicle with an improved mounting device that allows for improved mounting of an umbrella.
[0008] The object of the receiving device is achieved with the features of claim 1.
[0009] An embodiment of the invention relates to a receiving device, in particular for an umbrella, comprising a housing having a first opening which can be opened and / or closed by means of a flat first closure element, and having a second opening which can be opened and / or closed by means of a second closure element, wherein a displaceably arranged receiving element is provided adjacent to the housing and opposite the second opening. Due to the variable design of the receiving device with the two openings and the two closure elements, both short, in particular foldable umbrellas can be received in the housing and, alternatively, longer, for example non-foldable umbrellas, such as walking stick umbrellas, etc., can also be received, which then, however, partially protrude from the housing and can thus also be partially received in the receiving element.Due to the small amount of space it requires, this mounting device can also be easily accessible in the vehicle interior, for example next to or under a seat.
[0010] In a further embodiment, it is also advantageous if the first closure element is designed in the manner of a roller shutter, blind or roller band and is designed as a displaceable first closure element which is guided in a guide and can be displaced along the guide, wherein the displaceable first closure element can be stowed in a receiving space of the housing when the first opening is open. In this way, a very flat first closure element can be formed which requires little installation space and can nevertheless cover a larger area of the first opening. At the same time, by means of the first closure element, which is adjacent to the second closure element, and by means of the second closure element, a common opening can be created between the first opening and the second opening, which together release a correspondingly larger opening.
[0011] It is particularly advantageous if the second closure element is a removable, movable, or foldable wall element that closes or uncovers the second opening. This allows the second closure element to easily clear the second opening to allow passage, for example, for an umbrella.
[0012] It is also advantageous if the housing is approximately cuboid-shaped, with the first closure element arranged substantially at right angles to the second closure element. With a roughly cuboid-shaped housing, the surrounding walls do not necessarily have to be arranged at right angles to each other. This is merely advantageous, but other angles of the walls to each other are also possible if this meets the requirements of the installation space or the design.
[0013] It is also advantageous if the displaceably arranged receiving element is designed as a second housing that is open on at least one side and has a third opening opposite the second opening. Thus, the receiving element can serve as a kind of pocket or pot, for example, to securely hold an umbrella tip without damaging it during storage in the vehicle or risking injury to passengers.
[0014] It is also advantageous if the movable receiving element is guided by a guide means. This defines the displacement of the receiving element when inserting an umbrella, thus enabling secure accommodation of the umbrella even over an extended period of time.
[0015] It is particularly advantageous if the guide means is or has a guide rail or a plurality of guide rails. This achieves a stable design that is also safe in practice, for example, when passengers are moving around in the vehicle.
[0016] It is also advantageous if the movable receiving element is spring-loaded, so that the movable receiving element is biased toward the second opening. This holds the umbrella under pretension between the housing and the receiving element, which promotes its stationary storage and long-term preservation.
[0017] The problem of the motor vehicle is solved with the features of claim 9.
[0018] An embodiment of the invention relates to a motor vehicle with a vehicle interior and at least one seat or with a plurality of seats in the vehicle interior, wherein at least one receiving device is provided, preferably at least two receiving devices. Thus, for example, the driver or driver and front passenger, or other passengers, can be provided with a readily available umbrella when necessary or expedient.
[0019] It is particularly advantageous if the respective mounting device is located to the side of a seat, especially between the seat and the vehicle door, or underneath a seat. This allows the respective umbrella to be stowed safely and unobtrusively, yet is still quickly accessible when needed.
[0020] The invention will be explained in detail below using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawings. In the drawings: Fig. 1 a schematic view of an embodiment of a receiving device according to the invention, Fig. 2 a schematic view of the embodiment of the receiving device when inserting an umbrella, Fig. 3 a further schematic view of the embodiment of the receiving device when inserting an umbrella, Fig. 4 a further schematic view of the embodiment of the receiving device when inserting an umbrella, Fig. 5 a further schematic view of the embodiment of the receiving device when inserting an umbrella, Fig. 6 a further schematic view of the embodiment of the receiving device when inserting an umbrella, and Fig. 7 a further schematic view of the embodiment of the receiving device when inserting an umbrella.
[0021] The Fig. 1 to 7 show in various schematic representations an embodiment of a motor vehicle 1 with a seat 2 and with a receiving device 3 for receiving, for example, an umbrella 4, that is to say, for example, an umbrella receiving device.
[0022] The Fig. 1 shows the receiving device 3 in a closed, unused state and the Fig. 2 to 7 show the receiving device 3 during different operating states when inserting an umbrella 4 into the receiving device 3.
[0023] The receiving device 3, in particular for an umbrella 4, has a housing 5 which has a first opening 6 which can be opened and / or closed by means of a flat first closure element 8.
[0024] In the illustrated embodiment, the housing 5 is approximately cuboid-shaped, with the first closure element 8 arranged substantially at right angles to the second closure element 9. Other configurations deviating from this are also possible, for example.
[0025] The first closure element 8 is designed in the manner of a roller shutter, roller blind or roller band and is designed as a displaceable first closure element 8 which is guided longitudinally displaceably in a guide of the housing 5 and is displaceable along the guide.
[0026] In the Fig. 1, Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, the first closure element 8 is extended and closes the first opening 6.
[0027] In the Fig.2 to 5, the first closure element 8 is retracted and opens the first opening 6. The movable first closure element 8 is arranged in a storage space of the housing 5 when the first opening 6 is open. This allows the first closure element 8 to be arranged in a space-saving manner, so that it exposes the first opening 6 while not causing any other obstruction.
[0028] Furthermore, the housing 5 has a second opening 7, which can be opened and / or closed by means of a second closure element 9. The second closure element 9 is preferably a removable, movable, or foldable wall element that closes or exposes the second opening 7.
[0029] Furthermore, it can be seen that a displaceably arranged receiving element 10 is provided adjacent to the housing 5 and opposite the second opening 7.
[0030] The displaceably arranged receiving element 10 is designed as a second housing that is open on at least one side and has a third opening 11 opposite the second opening 7. The opening 11 serves to receive and protect the umbrella tip or an umbrella end of an umbrella, or to protect passengers from the umbrella tip.
[0031] The position of the movable receiving element 10 depends on the length of the umbrella whose umbrella tip is inserted into the receiving element 10. Since the movable receiving element 10 is arranged to be movable and the displacement is to be defined, the movable receiving element 10 is guided by means of a guide means 12.
[0032] In the illustrated embodiment, the guide means 12 is designed as a guide rail or has such a guide rail. Alternatively, a plurality of guide rails can also be provided. The receiving element 10 is guided by the guide means 12 and can be displaced along the guide means 12, so that the freedom of movement of the receiving element 10 is limited and predetermined by the extent or direction of the guide means 12.
[0033] In the illustrated embodiment, the movable receiving element 10 is spring-loaded, so that the movable receiving element 10 is biased toward the second opening 7. This causes the receiving element 10 to be biased toward the tip or end of the inserted umbrella, so that the umbrella is clamped between the housing 5 and the receiving element 10.
[0034] The figures show, by way of example, that the receiving device 3 is arranged adjacent to a seat 2 in the vehicle interior of a motor vehicle. Alternatively, the receiving device 3 could also be arranged at least partially beneath a seat.
[0035] Accordingly, a motor vehicle can be configured with a vehicle interior and at least one seat 2 or with a plurality of seats 2 in the vehicle interior, wherein at least one receiving device 3 is provided, preferably at least two receiving devices 3 are provided. The respective receiving device 3 can be arranged to the side of a seat 2, in particular between the seat 2 and the vehicle door, or underneath a seat 2.
