Description

The present invention relates to a modularly constructed, mobile exhibition stand according to claim 1. Exhibition stands are needed at trade fairs to give exhibitors – who are typically manufacturers or sellers of goods or services – the opportunity to display, explain and sell the goods or services. State of the art Traditional exhibition stands typically feature at least a back wall and a counter where potential customers can be greeted and advised. Both the back walls and the counters themselves are generally used as advertising space for the exhibited products or services. The use of container-like exhibition stands is also common. However, transporting container-style exhibition stands and, for conventional stands, their assembly and dismantling have proven problematic. On the one hand, special transport measures are required for container-style stands. On the other hand, the organizers only grant the stand builders contracted to assemble and dismantle the stands specific time windows. However, well-known exhibition stands generally cannot be assembled and dismantled quickly, making the process particularly time-sensitive. This is primarily due to the fact that these stands are highly customized. In addition to multiple back walls and counters, these customized stands are often equipped with further (decorative) elements. Task The object of the present invention is to provide a mobile exhibition stand which is characterized by a particularly simple and quick assembly and disassembly. Solution The above problem is solved by a mobile exhibition stand with the features of claim 1. The mobile exhibition stand comprises at least one room module, at least one wall module, and at least one floor module. The room module has a floor, a ceiling, and at least three side walls. The exhibition stand itself can be assembled modularly. For the purposes of the present invention, "mobile" refers to the property of the exhibition stand to be movable. In particular, the exhibition stand is not permanently attached to a surface, but can be moved between different locations without causing damage. For the purposes of the present invention, "modularly configurable" means that the exhibition stand can be assembled in any desired way, and that the exhibition stand comprises at least three modules: a room module, a wall module, and a floor module. The modules are dimensionally compatible with each other. In this way, the modules can be combined and, in particular, connected to one another in a grid-like and gapless manner. For the purposes of the present invention, a "room module" is understood to be a spatial arrangement that encloses an interior space. The interior space need not necessarily be completely enclosed by the arrangement. Rather, it is also conceivable that the interior space is only partially enclosed by the arrangement. In particular, the room module can have only three side walls enclosing an interior space, in addition to a floor and a ceiling. However, it is equally conceivable that the room module has a floor, a ceiling, and four side walls. In any case, the room module can be modularly connected to at least one other room module, the wall module, and / or the floor module. Access to the interior of the room module can then be provided by a door or other opening. For the purposes of the present invention, a "wall module" is understood to be a device that can be placed on a floor surface and thereby forms a flat back wall for the room module. Preferably, the wall module can be tile-like. For the purposes of the present invention, a "floor module" is understood to be a device that can be laid on a floor surface and thereby covers an entire area. The floor module can also be tile-like. The mobile exhibition stand can also comprise several room modules, wall modules, and floor modules. Preferably, the room modules are connectable to each other in a force-fit manner. Additionally, each room module can be connected to at least one wall module, preferably also in a force-fit manner. The floor module can also be connected to the room module and / or the wall module, likewise in a force-fit manner. Furthermore, other connection types are also conceivable, for example, a positive-locking connection. The modular units are characterized by their specially selected external dimensions. These dimensions are chosen so that the units can be transported in a truck without the need for disassembly. Each module measures 2.4 m wide, 2.4 m deep, and 2.5 m high. The floor area of ​​the module, defined by its width and depth, is six times that of a standard Euro pallet (a wooden flat pallet (FP) marked according to EN 13698-1 with dimensions of 1.2 m × 0.8 m × 1.44 m (length × width × height)). Since the internal dimensions of swap bodies, swap bodies, and semi-trailers are based on the dimensions of the Euro pallet, the selection of these external dimensions for the modular units is particularly advantageous. In this way, the room modules can be transported easily and quickly using conventional trucks without any special transport measures.Preferably, the room module is structured in a cuboid shape. The dimensions of the wall module are also adjusted accordingly. Its width and height match those of the room module and it is rectangular. This makes the wall module particularly easy to transport, as it is also compatible with the cargo spaces of standard trucks. It can be especially advantageous to arrange the floor modules inside the room module. Depending on its footprint, the wall module can be positioned either in front of or behind the room module. Due to the chosen dimensions of the room module and the wall module, even when using multiple room modules, a back wall (formed by the wall modules) and a floor can be optimally adapted. For example, if two room modules are placed side by side, two wall modules, also placed side by side, can serve as the back wall. The wall modules can preferably be positioned behind and above, or simply above, the room modules. It is also possible for the back wall to exceed the width of two room modules, so that the room modules are "framed" by the wall modules. The number of floor modules is determined by the size of the individual floor modules. If the floor modules have a width and depth of 0.6 m each, eight floor modules can be used to create a floor area equal to the width of two adjacent room modules. The depth of the floor area can then be adjusted by adding another row of floor modules. A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the base module has a rectangular—preferably square—or triangular base. If the base of the base module is triangular, the underlying triangle is isosceles, and the width refers to the base of the triangle, while the depth refers to the height from the base towards the opposite vertex. Both base shapes allow the base modules to be placed seamlessly next to one another. Preferably, the floor module may have a width and height that, when multiplied by an integer, equals 2.4 m. In other words, the floor module may, for example, have a width or depth of 1.2 m or 0.6 m. The floor module can therefore be smaller or tile-like compared to the floor area of ​​the room module, so that a series of floor modules placed side by side corresponds to the width or depth of the room module. Alternatively, the floor module can have a width and depth of 0.5 m, allowing for optimal and complete coverage of a typical footprint of 4.0 m wide and 5.0 m deep. When using floor modules with a width and depth of 0.6 m, the modules can be arranged so that the areas not covered by the floor modules are either placed under a room module or the footprint is not completely filled. Preferably, the entire room module can be designed to be transportable. In other words, disassembly for transport of the room module is not necessary. The same can be provided for the wall module and the floor module. A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that at least one side wall of the room module has a door and / or a window and / or a display element. Particularly if the room module has four side walls, the integration of a door is especially useful to provide access to the interior. The display element can be used, in particular, to display the products or services to be marketed. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the exhibition stand comprises at least one lighting device that can be arranged on the room module. Preferably, the lighting device is arranged on an outer edge of the room module. The lighting device is preferably a light mast whose longitudinal axis is aligned parallel to the outer edge of the room module. According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the wall module comprises at least one frame and at least one surface element held in the frame. An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the surface element is designed in the form of a fabric panel that can be clamped into the frame. The fabric panel can be printed according to the exhibitor's wishes, for example with the (brand) name or images of the products. A particularly advantageous further development of the exhibition stand according to the invention provides that the frame assembly comprises a plurality of frame elements, the frame elements preferably being made of steel or aluminum. Preferably, the frame assembly can have four interconnectable frame elements, each of which can be connected at a right angle to one another. The surface elements can be inserted into the frame elements in a known manner. Preferably, the room module can be configured as a kitchen module, a meeting module, a storage module, or an information module. The room modules listed above do not differ in their dimensions. Only the number of side walls, doors, windows, or furnishings used varies. While a kitchen module is equipped with a kitchenette, a storage module has cabinets or other storage units. The meeting module has four side walls to ensure privacy and includes seating inside. The information module, on the other hand, is designed as an "open exhibition stand" and has only three side walls. The information module includes a counter for receiving potential customers.Due to the possibility of modular construction, the aforementioned modules can advantageously be combined in any number and combination to form an exhibition stand. A further embodiment of the invention provides that the modules can each be connected to one another by means of at least one connecting element. Furthermore, it is particularly advantageous if the modules can be connected to one another without tools, preferably by means of a click connection. In this way, the exhibition stand can be assembled and disassembled particularly quickly and easily. An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the space module has at least one power and / or data line. The power and / or data line can preferably be arranged in the space module in such a way that it is not visible and only the connection elements are visible. It is conceivable that the power and / or data line is arranged in a guide channel. Examples of implementation The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an exemplary embodiment illustrated in the figures. These show: Fig. 1: A room module in the form of a kitchen module of an exhibition stand according to the invention. Fig. 2: Two interconnected room modules from Fig. 1. Fig. 3: A wall module of the exhibition stand according to the invention. Fig. 4: Another view of the wall module from Fig. 3. Fig. 5: A frame assembly of the wall module from Fig. 3. Fig. 6: An exhibition stand according to the invention. Fig. 7: A lighting assembly of the exhibition stand according to the invention. The mobile exhibition stand 1 according to the invention, which is shown in Fig. 4, comprises two room modules 2, 2', six wall modules 3 and a plurality of floor modules 4. The aforementioned modules 2, 2', 3, 4 can be connected to each other in a modular fashion. A first embodiment of a room module 2 of the exhibition stand 1 according to the invention is shown in Fig. 1. The room module 2 is designed in the form of a kitchen module 23 and has a ceiling 6, a floor 5, and four side walls 7, which enclose an interior space 25. The width 8 and depth 9 of the room module 2 are each 2.4 m, while the height is 2.5 m. The kitchen module 23 is characterized by an integrated kitchen unit, which is not shown in the figures. One of the side walls 7 is provided with a door 16 to allow access to the room module 2. The door 16 is also provided with a window 17. The room module 2 can be connected to another room module 2', as shown in Figs. 2 and 4. The second room module 2' differs from the first room module 2 in that it only has three side walls 7, so that the second room module 2' can be entered directly through the front 26.Both room modules 2, 2' each have light elements 27 arranged in the interior 25. The second room module 2' is also equipped with a reception desk 28 and thus serves as an information module 24. A wall module 3 of the exhibition stand 1 according to the invention is shown in Fig. 3. The wall module 3 has a frame assembly 19 and a surface element 20, which is held in the frame assembly 19. The surface element 20 is designed in the form of a fabric panel 21 clamped into the frame assembly 19, for example in the form of a flat keder fabric, as can be seen in Fig. 4. The fabric panel 21 can be decoratively printed and, for example, display the logo and / or the name of the exhibitor. The frame assembly 19 is formed from four frame elements 22 designed in the form of profile rails, which can be seen in Fig. 5. The fabric panel 21 can be inserted into the receptacle 32 of the profile rails at its edge by means of its flat keder 31. The wall module 3 is intended to be positioned behind the room module 2, thus providing a back wall for the room module 2. Since the width 11 and height 13 of the wall module 3 correspond to the width 8 and height 10 of the room module 2, the wall module 3 can be optimally positioned behind the room module 2, as shown in Fig. 6. The exhibition stand 1 shown there has, in addition to the two room modules 2 and 2' described above, six wall modules 3 arranged in a tile-like pattern. In this way, a continuous, gapless back wall is formed for the exhibition stand 1. The depth 12 of the wall module 3 is 0.2 m. Furthermore, the exhibition stand 1 comprises a multitude of floor modules 4, each with a width 14 and a depth 15 of 0.6 m. The floor modules 4 together form a floor surface. For better visibility, only one floor module 4 is shown in Fig. 6. The dimensions of the floor modules 4 are also adapted to those of the room module 2. Additionally, each of the room modules 2 can be equipped with a lighting device 18. The lighting device 18, which is shown in Fig. 7, is mast-like and has lighting elements 29 in the form of spotlights at one upper end. Preferably, the lighting device 18 can be attached to an edge 30 of the room module 2, as shown in Fig. 6 for the two room modules 2, 2' of the exhibition stand 1. Because all modules 2, 3, and 4 of booth 1 have uniform dimensions, which are also multiples of the dimensions of a Euro pallet, modules 2, 3, and 4 can be transported particularly easily and quickly. In particular, disassembly of the room modules 2 is unnecessary. Instead, they can simply be loaded onto a standard-sized truck. The wall and floor modules 3 and 4 can be stored next to or on top of the wall module 3. Each of the room modules 2 is characterized by a width of 8 meters, a depth of 9 meters, and a height of 2.5 meters.
