Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a fold-out bed for storage within a boot of a motor vehicle without a loading sill, and to a motor vehicle with such a fold-out bed.

[0002] On longer journeys, rest and sleep breaks are essential for the driver of a motor vehicle for safety reasons. In electric vehicles, these breaks can be used to simultaneously charge the vehicle. Unfortunately, sleeping or lying down is extremely uncomfortable due to the lack of space in most passenger cars.

[0003] While there are known devices for preparing sleeping accommodations, such as tents or similar items, that can be stored inside a vehicle, these devices generally require a lot of space. Furthermore, setting up the sleeping accommodations is usually time-consuming.

[0004] DE 10 2021 210 311 B3 and EP 4 151 465 A1 disclose a camping vehicle, DE 41 42 590 A1 discloses a motorhome.

[0005] It is therefore the object of the present invention to at least partially remedy the disadvantages described above. In particular, the object of the present invention is to provide a device for a motor vehicle and a motor vehicle with such a device, which guarantee a comfortable sleeping and lying option for a driver of a motor vehicle in a simple and cost-effective manner.

[0006] The above object is achieved by a fold-out bed with the features of claim 1 and a motor vehicle with the features of claim 9. Further features and details of the invention emerge from the subclaims, the description, and the drawings. Features and details described in connection with the fold-out bed according to the invention naturally also apply in connection with the motor vehicle according to the invention, and vice versa, so that with regard to the disclosure of the individual aspects of the invention, reference is always made to each other.

[0007] According to the invention, a fold-out bed is provided for storage within a sill-free trunk of a motor vehicle, comprising a trunk floor and a trunk lid for closing the trunk. The fold-out bed comprises a lying surface for accommodating a person when the bed is unfolded, a plurality of support legs arranged on the lying surface for supporting the bed against a surface in the unfolded state, and a roof that can be arranged on the trunk lid of the trunk for covering the lying surface when the bed is unfolded.

[0008] Due to the design of the bed according to the invention, which is suitable for storage within a trunk without a loading sill when the bed is folded in and for accommodating a person when the bed is unfolded, it is particularly possible to guarantee a comfortable sleeping and lying option for a driver of a motor vehicle in a simple and cost-effective manner.

[0009] Advantageously, the fold-out bed in question can be used for sleeping by a driver during a long journey in a motor vehicle. However, it is also possible for the fold-out bed to be used for sleeping during overnight visits, at parties or festivals, or similar events.

[0010] According to the invention, a trunk without a loading sill can preferably be understood as a trunk of a vehicle that does not have an edge or step at the entrance that would require objects to be lifted over this edge in order to load or remove them from the trunk. The entry edge of a trunk without a loading sill is, in particular, flush with the surrounding area of ​​the vehicle, so that no obstacles impede access to the trunk. The bed according to the invention can preferably be used in a passenger car, in particular in an electrically powered passenger car.

[0011] To ensure a space-saving and compact arrangement of the bed when folded, it can advantageously be provided that the bed surface is designed to be foldable, wherein the bed surface preferably has a plurality of bed surface segments that can be folded onto one another, wherein the bed surface in particular has at least three bed surface segments. In the unfolded state, the bed surface creates a planar, level surface with the trunk floor. The bed surface segments can advantageously have the same surface area so that when the bed is folded, they can be stacked precisely on top of one another and take up little space. Folding edges can advantageously be arranged between the individual segments.

[0012] To ensure a simultaneously stable and weight-optimized design of a fold-out lounger, it can advantageously be further provided that the support legs are at least partially hollow, wherein the support legs are preferably made of a metal material, in particular of an aluminum material. It is also conceivable for the support legs to be made of wood.

[0013] To ensure a space-saving and compact arrangement of the lounger when folded, the support legs can advantageously be designed to be collapsible and / or retractable. The support legs can be designed, for example, in the form of folding or telescopic poles that can be folded in or pushed into one another, or in the form of a combination of folding and telescopic poles.

[0014] To ensure a high level of lying and sleeping comfort, it can advantageously also be provided that a tent is provided to cover the lying area when the bed is unfolded. Preferably, the roof is part of the tent, with the roof in particular constituting the roof of the tent. A tent provides, in particular, privacy and protection from wind, rain, and cold.

[0015] With regard to simple, secure, and stable attachment of a tent to a motor vehicle or to a vehicle trunk, it may also be advantageous to provide a piping system with a piping rail for attaching the tent to the trunk lid and / or the sleeping area. The piping rail can preferably be attached to an outer edge of the trunk lid and / or an outer edge of the vehicle body. Piping systems also offer high wear and weather resistance.

[0016] To ensure a high level of lying and sleeping comfort, the tent can advantageously also be provided with a tarpaulin and a plurality of tent poles for supporting the tarpaulin. The tarpaulin in question can preferably be made of a weather-resistant plastic, such as polyester, polyethylene, or polyvinyl chloride.

[0017] To ensure a high level of comfort when lying or sleeping, the tent can advantageously also be provided with at least one window and / or a door, with the door preferably being able to be opened and closed via a zipper. A flexible fly screen for insect protection can also be integrated into the door, for example.

[0018] The invention also relates to a motor vehicle having a fold-out bed as described above. Thus, the motor vehicle according to the invention offers the same advantages as those already described in detail with regard to the fold-out bed.

[0019] With regard to a high level of lying or sleeping comfort as well as a simple, safe and stable attachment of a tent to a motor vehicle or to a motor vehicle trunk, it can advantageously also be provided that the trunk is designed in the form of a front trunk, wherein the fold-out bed preferably has a tent for covering the lying surface in the unfolded state of the bed and a piping system with a piping rail for attaching the tent to the trunk lid and / or the lying surface, wherein the piping rail is fastened in particular to an outer edge of the trunk lid and / or to an outer edge of the front body.

[0020] In addition, to ensure a high level of lying and sleeping comfort, it can also be advantageous if the trunk floor and the fold-out bed form a flat surface when the bed is unfolded. This flat surface is particularly possible due to the design of the vehicle's trunk without a loading sill, guaranteeing a comfortable lying position.
