Description

The invention relates to a furniture dummy, in particular a kitchen dummy, wherein the furniture is constructed from folded cardboard parts.Such kitchen dummy documents are also known in particular from the European taste pattern 1 857 673-0001. In order to construct these kitchen dummy bars in a stable manner, they typically consist of four side walls which are stabilized by a central cardboard cross which extends over the entire height.The object of the invention is to create a furniture dummy, in particular a kitchen dummy of the type mentioned at the beginning, which is particularly simple in construction and can be produced in a favorable manner.In the case of a furniture dummy, in particular a kitchen dummy, wherein the furniture is constructed from folded cardboard parts, the object is achieved in that the furniture dummy consists of exactly three parts, namely two parts which form the sides and which each have a 90° fold and a cover part which closes the side parts upwards. With such a furniture dummy having exactly three parts, a particularly simple and favorable construction of the furniture dummy is possible. One side member has a 90° fold which is provided and designed for connection to the other side member. Each side part thus has a 90° fold, so that a connection to the other side part can be achieved with the narrow lateral edge fold. In this case, hook-and-loop elements are preferably provided on the edge fold and in corresponding regions of the other side part for connecting the side parts. In a preferred embodiment, four hook and loop elements are provided, one being provided on the top end region and one on the bottom end region, and the two middle ones being arranged at approximately the same distances. Of course, other numbers and arrangements of hook and loop elements are also conceivable.In another preferred embodiment, the side parts have a narrow upper edge fold which is provided and designed for connection to the cover part. The side parts have a corresponding edge fold on each of the two edge folds, one part angled at 90°. In the corner region, this is advantageously recessed in each case at an angle of 45°, so that the edge folds adjoin one another and do not overlap. Furthermore, the cover part, preferably precisely one edge fold, which is provided and designed to conceal a connecting region between a side part and the cover part.Furthermore, the dummy furniture is preferably free of soil. In one embodiment, this can also be configured such that the side parts have a lower edge fold inclined inward in order to improve the stability and the standing of the dummy furniture. Alternatively, this edge fold can also be dispensed with, since a secure standing of the dummy furniture is also possible without this edge fold.Overall, this creates a dummy furniture item which is suitable for show, measure and other areas in which rapid installation and removal is important and which serves essentially for demonstration purposes. Such furniture dummy can also be shipped with particularly small transport bags. Transport with a packet service provider is therefore possible. Hitherto, such kitchen dummy has had to be shipped with a speed.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing. In detail, the schematic representations show in: FIG. 1 : the lower part of a dummy furniture item; FIG. 2 : the lower part of the dummy furniture according to FIG. 1, wherein the side parts are pulled apart, and FIG. 3 : shows the cover part in a perspective view.In the following, FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described together. FIG. 1 is a top view of a furniture dummy 1, in particular a kitchen dummy, wherein a first side part 2 with two sides 11 and 12 and a second side part 3 with two sides 13 and 14 are shown here, which are shown in FIG. 2 in an exploded view. When the dummy furniture 1 is fully assembled, the first side part 2 is pushed together with the second side part 3. Each of the two side parts 2 and 3 has a 90° fold, so that overall a body of rectangular cross section is produced. The first side part 2 and the second side part 3 each have edge folds 5. On these, corresponding hook-and-loop elements 6 are provided, so that the first side part 2 and the second side part 3 can be connected to one another via the hook-and-loop elements. Preferably, four hook-and-loop elements 6 are provided on the edge folds 5, whereby a particularly stable connection is provided.A floor region 10 of the dummy furniture 1 is completely or partially open. The bottom region 10 is completely open. The side parts 2 and 3 thus stand directly with their edges on the floor. The thus open bottom area 10 in each case achieves a further saving in material.FIG. 3 shows a cover part 4 of the dummy furniture 1 in a perspective view (from below). The cover part 4 likewise has a multiplicity of hook-and-loop elements 6, which correspond to hook-and-loop elements 6 on the upper edge folds 7 of the side parts 2 and 3. In this way, the cover part 4 can be easily connected to the first side part 2 and the second side part 3 of the dummy furniture 1. Furthermore, the cover part 4 has an edge fold 8, with which an open fold region of one of the sides 11- 14 can be covered in the front region, i.e. the side facing the audience.
