Description

[0001] The invention relates to a temporary modular shelter and a use of the temporary modular shelter.

[0002] German patent application DE 20 2010 004 092 U1 discloses a roof structure for parking spaces and a parking area for vehicles. The roof structure comprises a central support column and a flat, polygonal roof element arranged in the upper part of the support column. Furthermore, at least one solar module for converting light energy into electrical energy is arranged on the top of the roof element. The roof element is formed by internal and external struts to which the solar modules are attached.

[0003] The publication DE 20 2016 006 723 U1 describes a mounting system for roofing areas, particularly carports. This system comprises at least two posts with screw foundations and a crossbeam connecting the posts at their upper ends. Longitudinal beams with solar modules are attached to the crossbeam.

[0004] The invention specified in claims 1 and 10 is based on the objective of creating a temporary, modular and therefore feasible shelter in a simple way.

[0005] This problem is solved by the features listed in claims 1 and 10.

[0006] The temporary modular shelter and its use are characterized in particular by the fact that the temporary modular shelter is easy to implement.

[0007] Each module of the shelter comprises a foundation and a vertical upright, which can be connected to the foundation and thus joined. The upright has two pivotable supports, the supports being arranged horizontally or predominantly horizontally, spaced apart from the foundation, and pivotable towards or away from each other. To form the shelter, at least two modules are spaced apart such that the pivoted supports of the uprights are parallel or predominantly parallel to each other. Between the supports is at least one surface structure, made of a textile, a plastic, or a combination thereof, covering at least part of the free space between the supports. Furthermore, the supports and the surface structure are connected to each other by means of detachable fasteners.

[0008] Modular design makes it advantageous to easily create shelters of varying sizes. The modules can be easily placed in rows in a variety of locations.

[0009] This means that the at least two modules arranged at a distance from each other, together with the at least one surface structure, can be used to form a temporary shelter for objects and / or living beings.

[0010] The resulting temporary modular shelter is characterized by its simple construction, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications. It can be used to protect objects and / or living beings, particularly from rain and / or sun exposure. Thanks to its simple design, the shelter can be assembled and disassembled quickly and easily.

[0011] The pivoting supports are advantageously connected to the stand via swivel joints. This allows them to be easily pivoted relative to each other. This can also be done when constructing a shelter with at least two modules and the attached panel structure, so that the shelter's roof formed by the panel structure can be easily opened or closed. The panel structure, acting as a folding roof, is simply folded towards the stand.

[0012] The surface structure can advantageously be attached in such a way that it is movable. This allows the protection to be removed and reapplied in sections. For example, rails can be attached to the supports, loops can be attached to the surface structure, or eyelets can be incorporated into the surface structure for sliding.

[0013] This means that the temporary modular shelter can also be used for animals in pastures.

[0014] Another advantageous use is on campsites, where the shelter can be set up as a shading system for pitches of any type using the surface structures.

[0015] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the following further developments and embodiments. These can further develop the temporary modular shelter and its use individually or in combination.

[0016] In one embodiment, the foundation can be a single or point foundation. Thus, such a foundation can be a screw foundation in the form of a steel sleeve with a coarse external thread, a precast concrete foundation, or a concrete block.

[0017] In one embodiment, the stand can be a tube with a polygonal cross-section.

[0018] In a further development, the upright can have a polygonal cross-section, and the foundation can have a recess that accommodates the end of the upright. The cross-sections of the upright and the recess are identically shaped so that the upright can be connected to the foundation in a rotationally secure manner.

[0019] In a further development, the stand and the foundation can be detachably connected to each other by at least one screw connection and / or clamp connection.

[0020] In one embodiment, the supports can be pivotally connected to the stand via swivel joints. Furthermore, stops for the supports are located next to the swivel joints. At least two stops can be arranged for each support, with at least one stop being releasable.

[0021] In one embodiment, the stand has pivotably arranged support struts connected to the beams.

[0022] In one embodiment or embodiments, at least one central strut, detachable from at least one of the struts, may be arranged between the supports of a module and / or at least one connecting strut, detachable from at least one of the supports, may be located between adjacent supports.

[0023] One end of the center brace and / or one end of the connecting brace can be connected to one of the uprights or one of the beams via a swivel joint. The other end of the center brace can be connected to the other upright via a detachable connection. The other end of the connecting brace can be connected to the other beam via a detachable connection. This allows the center brace to be folded down to the upright and / or the connecting brace to the beam when not in use.

[0024] In another embodiment, the central strut and / or the connecting strut can be detachably connected to the adjacent stands and / or to the neighboring supports of a module.

[0025] Furthermore, the central strut and / or the connecting strut can be telescopic. In conjunction with a locking mechanism or mechanisms, the length(s) can be changed and locked in various positions.

[0026] In a further development, the surface structure can have holding elements for at least one functional element.

[0027] In at least one embodiment, the functional element can be a solar module and / or a light source and / or a drain pipe for water impacting the surface structure.

[0028] An embodiment of the invention is shown in principle in the drawings and is described in more detail below.

[0029] They show: Fig. 1 a module of a shelter, Fig. 2 two modules for the construction of a shelter in a top view, Fig. 3 Two modules with supports swivelled towards each other in a top view, Fig. 4 Two modules with beams swivelled towards each other and overlapping in a top view and Fig. 5 A shelter with several modules in a top view.

[0030] A temporary modular shelter essentially consists of modules, each module essentially comprising a foundation 1, a stand 2 and beams 3.

[0031] The Fig. Figure 1 shows a module of a shelter in a basic representation.

[0032] The shelter module comprises a foundation 1 and a vertical upright 2, which can be connected to and thus linked with the foundation 1, and two pivotable supports 3 arranged on the upright 2. The supports 3 are arranged horizontally or predominantly horizontally at a distance from the foundation 1 and can be pivoted towards or away from each other.

[0033] The foundation 1 is, in particular, a single or point foundation. The foundation can be designed as a screw foundation (steel sleeve with a coarse external thread), a precast concrete foundation, or a concrete block. The support 2 is, in particular, a pipe with a polygonal cross-section.

[0034] In one embodiment, the stand 2 can have a polygonal cross-section, and the foundation 1 can have a recess that receives the end region of the stand 2. The cross-sections of the stand 2 and the recess of the foundation 1 are identical, so that the stand 2 can be connected to the foundation 2 in a rotationally secure manner. To receive the end region of the stand 2 into the recess of the foundation 1, the cross-section of the stand 2 is smaller than the cross-section of the recess of the foundation 1, so that the end region can be easily inserted into the recess. In another embodiment, the stand 2 and the foundation 1 are detachably connected to each other by at least one screw connection and / or clamp connection. For this purpose, the foundation 1 can have at least one threaded stud that projects beyond the foundation 1.The stand 2 can have a plate at its end with at least one bore for the free area of ​​the threaded stud, so that a fixed and detachable connection of the stand 2 to the foundation 1 can be easily achieved with a threaded nut.

[0035] The beams 3 can be pivotally connected to the stand 2 via first pivot joints 4. Stops for the beams 3 can be located next to the first pivot joints 4. Furthermore, support struts 5 are pivotally arranged on the stand 2 and connected to the beams 3 via second pivot joints 6.

[0036] The Fig. Figure 2 shows two modules for the construction of a shelter in a basic top view.

[0037] To form the shelter, at least two modules are spaced apart from each other such that the supports 3 of the uprights 2, which are angled away from each other, are parallel or predominantly parallel to each other. Between the supports 3, there is at least one surface structure 7 made of a textile, a plastic, or a combination thereof, covering at least part of the free space between the supports 3. The supports 2 and the surface structure 7 are connected to each other by means of detachable, known fastening elements. These can be, for example, eyelets, rings, or tabs.

[0038] In one embodiment, the surface structure 7 can have retaining elements for at least one functional element. The functional element can be a solar module and / or a light source and / or a drain pipe for water impacting the surface structure.

[0039] They show the Fig. 3 two modules with supports swivelled towards each other 3 in a basic top view and the Fig. 4 Two modules with beams 3 swivelled towards each other and overlapping each other in a basic top view.

[0040] If a shelter is present but not in use, the supports 3 of the modules can be angled relative to each other, creating open, uncovered spaces. The size of the covered area of ​​the modules is determined by the distance between the uprights 2 and the length of the supports 3. This is shown in the Fig. Three non-overlapping beams 3 of the modules, which, when beams 3 are pivoted, results in a maximum roofable area. This area can also be smaller, with the beams 3 overlapping (representation in the Fig. 4).

[0041] The Fig. Figure 5 shows a shelter with several modules in a general top view.

[0042] To create large-scale shelters, several shelters, each with two foundations 1, two uprights 3, and beams 3, can be arranged side by side. This is shown in the... Fig. 5. Several modules, each with a surface structure 7, are shown as examples.

[0043] In one or more embodiments, at least one central strut, detachable from at least one of the uprights, may be arranged between the uprights of a module, and / or at least one connecting strut, detachable from at least one of the uprights, may be located between adjacent uprights. The central strut is arranged, in particular, such that it connects the upper end regions of adjacent uprights of a module. The central strut may be detachable from the uprights or detachable from one of the uprights. In the latter embodiment, the non-detachable end of the central strut is connected to the upright via a pivot joint, so that the central strut can be folded down against the upright when not in use. The connecting strut is arranged, in particular, such that it connects the end regions of adjacent uprights of a module.The connecting strut can be designed to be detachable from the beams or detachable from one of the beams. In the latter case, the non-detachable end of the connecting strut is connected to the beam via a swivel joint, allowing the connecting strut to be folded against the beam when not in use.

[0044] Furthermore, the central strut and / or the connecting strut can be telescopic. In conjunction with a locking mechanism or mechanisms, the length(s) can be changed and locked in various positions. QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION
