Description

Field of invention

[0001] The invention relates to a mobile exhibition container. State of the art

[0002] To have a presence at trade fairs, exhibitors set up stands. These stands can range from simple tables with banners to booths consisting of rooms with walls and doors. These stands must be assembled on-site, which can be a logistical challenge depending on their size. Additionally, electricity and possibly water must be provided on-site, which can mean extra effort during assembly. Description of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the invention is to provide a complex exhibition stand that can be set up on site with minimal effort and offers great flexibility in terms of equipment.

[0004] This problem is solved by a trade fair container with the features of claim 1. Further features that elaborate the invention are contained in the dependent claims.

[0005] A mobile exhibition container according to the invention comprises a receiving space bounded by at least two side walls, a rear wall, a floor, and a ceiling, and a transport frame for loading the exhibition container onto a transport vehicle. The transport frame is formed in a recess in one side wall, and this recess is covered by a cover plate during use, so that the side wall has a uniform appearance. The container can thus be prepared at another location with all the desired properties and equipment and easily loaded onto a suitable loading trolley, typically a transport trolley with lifting hooks, and transported to the exhibition site.

[0006] The transport handle is preferably designed to be swivelling or removable. This allows for a stable transport handle that can be positioned in the smallest possible recess, which can then be covered with a small cover plate. This ensures an attractive appearance for the exhibition container during the trade fair while maintaining its mobility.

[0007] The ceiling and / or at least one side wall preferably have a cavity for accommodating cabling. In particular, these cavities are constructed in two layers with a spacing of 150-250 mm, more preferably approximately 190-210 mm. This allows water pipes and electrical cables to be pre-installed, so that the exhibition container only needs to be connected to a water and / or power supply on site. Inside the container, sockets, lamps, faucets, and other desired fixtures can then be arranged and thus pre-installed.

[0008] Preferably, at least two connecting elements for aligning stacked containers are provided at predetermined locations on the top of the container. These connecting elements serve to attach the container to a crane hook for lifting the exhibition container and / or to connect the exhibition containers to each other when they are stacked. Preferably, a connecting element is provided at each corner of the top, but the connecting elements can also be provided on the slopes described later.

[0009] The connecting element preferably comprises a reinforcing plate with a pin, the pin protruding upwards from the reinforcing plate. The pin can be hook-shaped, eyelet-shaped, or have a hole. The hole can be formed in an upper section of the pin, allowing not only the insertion of a crane hook but also the insertion of a cotter pin after stacking the exhibition containers. Furthermore, the pin preferably tapers upwards. This facilitates easier guidance of the pin into corresponding recesses on the bottom of a container that is to be placed on top of the first container. The pin is, in particular, screwed into the reinforcing plate. This allows the pin to be easily removed so as not to detract from the appearance of the exhibition container during the event.Furthermore, a more stable pin / eye / hook can also be used with the thread to lift the exhibition container, and then a pin can be screwed in to align the exhibition container.

[0010] Reinforcing plates are preferably installed in a central area on the narrow sides of the mobile exhibition container. These plates provide stability to the container roof and allow for the installation of roof-mounted structures such as LED displays or signs that are not attached directly to the edge of the container.

[0011] The mobile exhibition container is octagonal, particularly in longitudinal section. The side walls are preferably connected to the floor and ceiling by a slope. The height of the side wall is preferably 6-10 times the height of the slope, more preferably 7.5-8.5 times, and / or the length of the ceiling or floor is preferably 18-22 times the length of the slope, more preferably 19-21 times. This gives the exhibition container an attractive and unique appearance, while simultaneously reducing the risk of damage from the narrow edges, especially when stacking the containers.

[0012] The mobile exhibition container preferably has at least two transport wheels on the underside of the floor. This makes it easier to move the container once it has been parked. The transport wheels are preferably arranged on the narrow side opposite the transport handle.

[0013] Another aspect is a trade fair container that has connecting elements but no transport handle. Such a trade fair container comprises a storage space bounded by at least two side walls, a rear wall, a floor, and a ceiling, with at least two connecting elements for aligning stacked containers provided at predetermined locations on the top of the container.

Description of preferred embodiments

[0014] In Fig. Figure 1 shows an isometric view of an exhibition container 10 according to the invention. The exhibition container has two side walls 12, 14, a floor 16, a ceiling 18, a rear wall 20, and a front wall 22, whereby the front and rear walls can also be omitted as required. Here, the container 10 is closed with a transparent front wall made of glass or plastic, as is one side wall 12, 14. The container is equipped with electrical sockets 13. The ceiling 18 can preferably be equipped with reinforcing ribs 19. In particular, the side walls of the exhibition container are between 2600 mm and 3000 mm high, preferably 2800 mm, and the floor and ceiling are between 6400 mm and 6800 mm long, preferably 6600 mm. The material of the container, especially the load-bearing structures, is preferably made of metal.At least one side wall, the ceiling, the floor, the back wall, and / or the front wall can be provided with a cavity. For this purpose, the respective wall can be designed as a double element, so that, for example, two thin walls with a gap form the respective element. The gap is particularly 150-250 mm, more preferably 190-210 mm.

[0015] To make the edges in the longitudinal section less sharp, for example, a bevel 15 can be provided, connecting the side wall 12, 14 with the floor 16 and the ceiling 18. A bevel 15 is preferably formed at an angle of 135° to the ceiling / floor and the corresponding side wall in order to achieve the most uniform appearance possible.

[0016] The slopes are between 290 mm and 320 mm long or high, whereby the ceiling / floor and the side walls are shorter where a slope is present, so that the overall length and overall height of the exhibition container remains the same.

[0017] In Fig. Figure 2 shows an isometric view of a trade fair container 10. Here too, a front wall 22 made of transparent material is provided. A cover is formed on the side wall 12, 14, which covers a recess 30.

[0018] Depth 30 is then in Fig. Figure 3 shows the container. It is provided on a side wall 12, 14, in which a transport bracket 30 is formed. The transport bracket 30 serves to load the container onto a transport vehicle and is preferably designed to be small enough that it does not protrude beyond the edge of the recess. Alternatively, the transport bracket can also be attached detachably, e.g., by hooking the transport bracket itself onto a crossbar, or it can be designed to pivot. This allows the cover plate 24 to cover the recess 26 without the transport bracket 30 interfering. A water and / or electrical connection is preferably also provided on the side of the transport bracket 30. Connecting elements 50 are preferably provided on the top of the exhibition container 10. Here, they are formed on the ceiling 18, but they can also be provided on the top of the side walls 12, 14 and thus on the sloping surfaces 15. The exhibition container 10 is made of Fig. 3 has no front wall, but has ribs formed on one side wall 12, 14, which can be used, for example, for ventilation of the container 10.

[0019] Fig. Figure 4 shows the side wall 12 with the recess 24 and the transport bracket 30 in an uncovered state. The transport bracket 30 can accommodate a loading hook of a transport vehicle so that the exhibition container 10 can be pulled onto the transport vehicle.

[0020] Fig. Figure 5 shows a side view of the measuring container 10, in which the preferred octagonal longitudinal section can be seen. And Fig. Figure 6 shows a top view of the measuring container 10. The connecting elements 50 can be seen in the side and top views. Preferably, the connecting elements 50 are formed at the corners of the ceiling 18. Furthermore, a reinforcing element 40 is also provided, which is formed centrally on the narrow sides. The reinforcing element improves the stability of the ceiling at these points and also makes it possible to attach devices centrally. Preferably, one or more transport rollers 36 are formed on the underside of the measuring container 10. A single transport roller 36 is arranged centrally on the narrow side, while with two transport rollers 36, these are provided at the edges of the narrow side, as shown in Figure 6. Fig. 1 is shown.

[0021] Fig. Figure 7 shows a preferred combination of two exhibition containers 10, where the rear container is a room with a transparent front wall and the front container is designed as a kind of entrance area or terrace without a front wall. Such an arrangement of exhibition containers 100 makes it easy to construct a type of building using several containers. The side wall of the entrance area is ribbed.

[0022] In Fig. Figure 8 shows a measuring container arrangement 100 with three measuring containers. Here, the middle container 10 preferably has a passageway in its rear wall, so that the rear container 10 is accessible from the inside. The frontmost container is again an entrance area. Fig. Figure 9 shows a measuring container arrangement 100, in which a sign or an LED display 34 is attached to the ceiling of the front container 10.

[0023] Fig. Figure 10 shows a measuring container arrangement 100, in which the measuring containers 10 are used in a multi-story configuration. In this arrangement 100, stairs or a ladder can be provided in one of the containers 10, with openings in the ceiling and floor to allow access to all containers 10 from the inside. The containers are lifted and stacked on top of each other using the connecting elements 50.

[0024] In Fig. Figure 11 shows a side view of a container 10 with a connecting element 50. The connecting element 50 allows one container to be lifted onto another.

[0025] The connecting element 50 is shown in an enlarged view in Fig. Figure 12 shows the connecting element 50, which comprises a plate 54 with a pin 56 having a bore 58. The bore 58 in the pin 56 allows the exhibition container 10 to be fixed to the crane and lifted using a loading crane. Instead of a pin, a hook or eyelet can also be used to lift the container 10. The plate 54 is attached to the ceiling 18 or to the upper end of the side wall 12, 14, for example by welding or bolting, or even manufactured in one piece. The pin 56 and the plate 54 can also be formed in one piece. Preferably, however, the pin 56 has an external thread at its lower end and an internal thread is cut into the plate, into which the pin 56 can then be screwed in and out and, if necessary, exchanged for a hook or eyelet.

[0026] In Fig.Figure 13 shows a trade fair container arrangement 100 in which two trade fair containers 10 are stacked on top of each other. The connecting element 50 can also be used to align the trade fair containers 10 and fasten them together. The pin 56 is inserted into a counter plate 55, which has a through-hole for this purpose. To facilitate the insertion of the pin 54, the pin 56 can be tapered at its upper end. Furthermore, the bore 58 can be provided in an upper section of the pin 54 such that, after the pin 54 has been inserted into the through-hole of the counter plate 55, a locking pin can be inserted into the bore 58. Thus, the pin 56 can be used not only for a loading crane but also for securing multi-story container arrangements 100.
