Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an arrangement of a modular interior furnishing system for rooms consisting of at least two pieces of furniture or household appliances on at least one platform according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] Such arrangements of two or more pieces of furniture or household appliances on a platform are known, for example, from DE 103 117 97 A1, DE 20 2010 014601 U1 or DE 10 2019 109866 A1.

[0003] The first-mentioned publication discloses a movable or movable modular room unit for creating space, which makes it possible, for example, to arrange standing shelves one behind the other and to move them linearly as needed via rollers moving on a guide rail, thus making different functionalities accessible depending on the open passageway between adjacent room units.

[0004] The second publication describes a variably coupled seating group with several seat shells mounted on bases that are coupled to each other via a central base and are thus arranged relative to the central base in a pivotable manner.

[0005] The third publication reveals a piece of furniture with a base plate and a body that can be moved translationally and rotatorily from a corner of the room.

[0006] The object of the present invention is to improve an arrangement of a modular interior furnishing system for rooms consisting of at least two pieces of furniture or household appliances on at least one platform in such a way that the platform can, in principle, be positioned at a fixed location and the modules of an interior furnishing system for rooms placed on such a platform, or the furniture or household appliance placed within the modular interior furnishing system for rooms, can be aligned in different positions.

[0007] This problem is solved by an arrangement having the features of claim 1.

[0008] The arrangement according to the invention of a modular interior furnishing system for rooms consisting of at least two pieces of furniture or household appliances on at least one platform is designed such that the at least one platform has a base and a support element which is mounted to be movable both translationally and rotationally relative to the base.

[0009] The base and the support element each have plane bearing areas facing each other. In one of the bearing areas, guide cam tracks are arranged, and in the other bearing area, guide elements are arranged in or along the contours of the guide cam tracks, so that the support element is at least partially constrained relative to the base, rotatable in one of two possible opposite directions of rotation, and movable in a predetermined translational direction.

[0010] The guide cam tracks are shaped in such a way that, when moment action is applied to the support element, the support element can be moved from an initial position via an intermediate position, in which the support element is rotated relative to the base in one of two possible opposite directions of rotation and shifted in the translational direction, by further rotation in one of two possible opposite directions of rotation and shifting against the translational direction to an end position identical to the initial position.

[0011] The rotation angle of the support element to achieve the congruent position is equal to the quotient of 360° and a natural number greater than 1 and less than 9. Load-bearing sliding or rolling elements are attached to one underside of the support element facing the base.

[0012] With such an arrangement, it is possible to move at least one platform in a space-saving manner from a starting position via an intermediate position to a final position that is identical to the previous one.

[0013] The combined translational-rotational movement achieved using the platforms is generally carried out in such a way that at no point in the movement sequence does one of the modules enter the space occupied by a second module.

[0014] The sliding or rolling elements allow for position changes of at least one platform with minimal effort. Furthermore, such a platform with load-bearing sliding or rolling elements is suitable for supporting multiple modules of an interior fittings system, thus enabling the distribution of even larger masses.

[0015] Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the sliding or rolling elements are accommodated in respective pockets of the support element. This allows the overall height of the structure, consisting of the base and support element, to be reduced.

[0017] According to an advantageous further development, components of the modular interior fittings system for rooms are arranged on at least two separate platforms, wherein adjacent platforms are positioned relative to each other in such a way that the translation directions of the adjacent supporting elements are oriented differently.

[0018] This allows for different arrangements of the modules of the interior fittings system relative to each other. For example, it is possible to arrange two modules designed as seating elements in one position so that they face each other for a meeting or conversation, and in a second position the seating elements are positioned facing away from each other.

[0019] According to another preferred embodiment, adjacent platforms are positioned such that in their initial position and in the final position rotated by the angle of rotation and multiples of the angle of rotation they lie against each other along at least a partial length of a side edge.

[0020] Such a contact point on the side edges of adjacent platforms enables, for example, a reliable locking of the adjacent platforms in the desired end positions.

[0021] In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the adjacent platforms with support elements having a square base are positioned such that the support elements, in their initial position and in their rotated end positions, are in contact with each other along at least a partial length of a side edge of the respective support element, according to a method rotated by an angle of 90°, 180° or 270°.

[0022] According to a preferred further development, the touching edges of adjacent load-bearing elements are engaged with each other in a force-fit or form-fit manner.

[0023] According to another embodiment, at least one platform has a motion memory that supports the translational-rotational movement of the support element relative to the base.

[0024] Such a motion memory enables the user to adjust the position of at least one platform, and with it the modules positioned on it or a module of the interior fittings system, to a desired end position with minimal effort.

[0025] In another design variant, at least one supporting element can be driven by motor, hydraulic or pneumatic means, at least in some areas.

[0026] According to another embodiment, at least one vertically extending partition wall is arranged on the at least one supporting element.

[0027] The partition wall is preferably arranged along one of the side edges.

[0028] Using such a partition wall, room areas can be divided into different room segments by changing the position of the respective supporting element, or they can be separated from other room areas and combined into a single room segment. It is also conceivable to add a roof-like structure.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, exactly one piece of furniture is arranged on at least one supporting element.

[0030] In another variant, exactly one room cell with a plurality of modules of the interior fittings system is arranged on at least one supporting element.

[0031] Such a room unit can, for example, be functionally furnished, such as a workspace with an office chair, desk and shelf, while another supporting element adjacent to it can be furnished as a rest area, whereby different orientations of the respective supporting elements can create a common large room section, or, depending on requirements, the office area can be separated from the rest area by a partition wall.

[0032] To support the translational-rotational movement of the support element relative to the base, the support element has at least three, preferably five, guide elements.

[0033] In another preferred embodiment, the guide elements are designed as control rollers, preferably convex control rollers.

[0034] The guide elements are preferably guided in open guide cam tracks.

[0035] According to a preferred embodiment, at least three of the guide elements are always in contact with the guide cam tracks during the translational-rotational movement.

[0036] According to an alternative design variant, during the translational-rotational movement at least two of the guide elements are always in contact with the guide cam tracks and one of the guide elements is in contact with a closed translational guide track, which additionally supports the movement of the support element in the translational direction.

[0037] In another design variant, the guide elements are arranged on a common frame fixed to the support element to simplify assembly.

[0038] According to another preferred embodiment, the support element has at least four sliding or rolling elements, which thus serve to provide reliable support for the support element.

[0039] The load-bearing sliding or rolling elements are preferably attached outside of a covering surface with the base and inside the platform.

[0040] It is also conceivable that at least two load-bearing sliding or rolling elements protrude from the surface of the base facing the supporting element for additional support, which, in the event of deflection of the supporting element due to a large weight load, provide additional support for the supporting element on the base and thus continue to ensure smooth running of the platform.

[0041] According to a further development of the arrangement according to the invention, end positions and / or the movement of the at least one support element can be detected by sensors.

[0042] For sensory detection, according to a preferred further development, sensor elements are arranged on or near at least one of the platforms or at least one of the modules of the modular interior equipment system.

[0043] Examples of design variants for sensor elements include pressure sensors, touch sensors, brightness sensors, motion sensors, temperature sensors or compass sensors.

[0044] The arrangement preferably includes a functional base on which the base is mounted and on which the sliding or rolling elements can glide or roll. Furthermore, such a functional base eliminates the need to mount the base directly onto the existing floor and ensures good sliding or rolling performance regardless of the floor's roughness. This also prevents damage to the floor.

[0045] According to further advantageous embodiments, the direction of translation is aligned orthogonally to the boundary surface when the base is arranged parallel to a single boundary surface, for example a room wall or another piece of furniture or a fixed partition, and in the case of a corner formed by two orthogonally meeting boundary surfaces, it is aligned in the direction of an angle bisector to the angle enclosed by the two room walls.

[0046] Preferred embodiments are explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] They show: Fig. 1 a schematic isometric representation of two platforms with seating arranged on them and back walls framing them on two sides and a stationary piece of furniture arranged between the platforms in a first mutually facing position, Fig. 2 an isometric representation of the in Fig. 1The arrangement shown with seating elements facing away from each other, Figures 3 and 4 are top views of an arrangement with four platforms and two stationary pieces of furniture in different positions, Fig. 5 is a partial exploded view of a platform with base, support element and furniture arranged on the support element, Fig. 6 is an isometric exploded view of a platform with the support element tilted to the side, Fig. 7 is a schematic isometric view of a modular interior furnishing system arranged on a platform for rooms in the form of a room module, Figures 8 to 10 are one of the Figure 7corresponding representation with room cells shown in different end positions, Figures 11 to 14 schematic isometric representations of two adjacent platforms with modular interior fittings systems arranged on them in the shape of room cells in different relative positions to each other, Figures 15 to 19 schematic representations of an alternative design variant of a platform, Figures 20 and 21 isometric representations corresponding to the Figures 5 and 1 with a functional floor arranged under the platform, and Figures 22 to 28c) top views of arrangements with multiple platforms with partitions in different positions to each other or relative to a boundary surface.

[0048] In the following figure descriptions, terms such as top, bottom, left, right, front, back, etc., refer exclusively to the exemplary representation and position of the platform, base, supporting element, room module, furniture, and the like chosen in the respective figures. These terms are not to be understood as restrictive; that is, these relationships may change due to different working positions, mirror-symmetrical layouts, or similar factors.

[0049] In the Figures 1 to 4 This is a first exemplary arrangement of modules for an interior fittings system. The modules consist of the Figures 1 and 2consisting of two pieces of furniture 6 arranged on a respective platform 1, each with a seating element 61 having a seat 62 and a backrest 63 framing the seat 62 on two sides, which is framed on the two sides by a shelf 64 and a partition 66, and a further seating element 7, which is fixedly positioned between the two pieces of furniture 6.

[0050] Below the storage area 64, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, an additional storage space 65 is provided, which is accessible or inaccessible depending on the position of the furniture 6. Preferably, a recessed handle 67 is located on the outer side of the upper part of the partition 66 for easy movement of the furniture 6. Alternatively, a table or other furniture element can be arranged between the two pieces of furniture 6.

[0051] The seating element 7 is equipped with feet 71. The two pieces of furniture 6 are placed on a platform 1, which makes it possible to move the pieces of furniture 6 into different relative positions to each other by means of a predetermined simultaneous rotation and translation.

[0052] This allows users to easily adjust different seating options / directions according to a desired situation.

[0053] So the furniture is 6 at the in Figure 1 The illustrated version is oriented towards each other, with a seating element 7 arranged between them.

[0054] In Figure 2 The left of the two pieces of furniture 6 is rotated 90° clockwise, while the right piece of furniture 6 is positioned rotated 180°. The seating element 7, located between the two pieces of furniture 6, remains in its original position when the furniture 6 is repositioned. Figure 1 positions shown in the Figure 2The positions shown are fixed in place using platforms 1. The combined translational-rotational movement carried out using platforms 1 is generally such that at no point during the movement sequence does the furniture 6 enter the space occupied by the seating element 7.

[0055] The Figures 3 and 4 The top view shows further positioning options, in this case of modules of an interior fittings system consisting of four pieces of furniture 6 and two stationary tables 8, in which the pieces of furniture 6 are arranged on a respective platform 1.

[0056] Figure 5 An exploded view shows the structure of platform 1, on which the furniture 6 is arranged.

[0057] Platform 1 has a base 2 and a support element 3 which is mounted to be movable both translationally and rotationally relative to the base 2.

[0058] The base 1 and the supporting element 3 can be made primarily from sustainable raw materials, especially wood.

[0059] The furniture 6 is placed on a support area 31 of the support element 3 and is preferably fixed to it.

[0060] The base 2 and the support element 3 have mutually facing planar bearing areas 22, 32. The bearing area 32 of the support element 3 can also be a separate element, for example in the form of a Figure 6 The box 33 or cylinder shown is formed.

[0061] In one of the bearing areas 22, 32, here in bearing area 22 of the base 2, guide cam tracks 23 are arranged. In the other of the bearing areas 22, 32, here in bearing area 32 of the support element 3, guide elements 4 are arranged, as shown in Figure 6 is shown.

[0062] With the guide elements 4 guided in the guide cam tracks 23 or on contours of the guide cam tracks 23, the support element 3 is at least partially guided relative to the base 2 in one of two possible opposite directions of rotation R 1 , R 2 and movable in a predetermined translation direction A 1 , A 2.

[0063] In the preferred embodiment shown here, the movement in the translational direction A 1 , A 2 is additionally supported by a guide cam track 24 in the base 2.

[0064] The guide cam tracks 23 are shaped in such a way that, when a moment is applied to the support element 3, the support element 3 is moved from a starting position (for example, the one in Figure 1The positions of the furniture 6 shown can be moved via an intermediate position, in which the support element 3 is rotated relative to the base 2 in one of two possible opposite directions of rotation R 1 , R 2 and displaced in the translational direction A 1 , A 2, by further rotation in one of two possible opposite directions of rotation R 1 , R 2 and displacement against the translational direction A 1 , A 2 into an end position identical to the initial position (for example, the positions of the furniture 6 in Figure 2 ).

[0065] A rotation angle α of the support element 3 to achieve the congruent position corresponds to the quotient of 360° and a natural number n that is greater than 1 and less than 9.

[0066] In the embodiments shown in the figures, the number n = 4, which is particularly suitable for support elements 3 with a square bearing area 31. When choosing n = 4, it is also conceivable in principle to use a support element 3 with a bearing area 31 designed as an equilateral octagon.

[0067] In principle, it is also conceivable, for example, that the surface of the load-bearing area 31 of the load-bearing element 3 can be designed in a triangular shape, where n = 3, so that identical positions would be reached after a rotation angle α of 120 or 240°.

[0068] For n = 5, the supporting element 3 would accordingly have a load-bearing area 31, designed as an equilateral pentagon, with rotation angles α of 72°, 144°, 216°, 288°.

[0069] The choice of a surface of the bearing area 31 as a hexagon, heptagon or octagon with correspondingly calculated rotation angles α is also conceivable in principle.

[0070] What next in the Figures 5 and 6 As shown, load-bearing sliding or rolling elements 5 are attached to one of the undersides of the support element 3 facing the base 2.

[0071] The sliding or rolling elements 5 can be used, as exemplified in the Figures 1, 2 , 5 and 6 shown, be attached outside a covering surface with the base 2, so that the sliding or rolling elements 5, as shown in Figure 1 As shown, it stands on a floor, and thus the load distribution of the furniture or household appliance standing on the support element 3 does not have to take place solely via the base 2.

[0072] What next in the Figures 20 and 21As shown, it is also conceivable to provide a functional base 110 under the base 2, 120, which is laid on the floor of the room and on which the sliding or rolling elements 5 slide or roll. This enables improved sliding or rolling capability, regardless of the condition, in particular the roughness of the floors.

[0073] What's next in Figure 6 As shown, the support element 3 preferably has at least four sliding or rolling elements 5, which are preferably arranged near the corner regions of the support element 3. The sliding or rolling elements 5, which are designed here as rollers, are, as shown in Figure 6 shown, attached via mounts 51 on the bearing area side of the support element 3.

[0074] What's next in Figure 6 As shown, the support element 3 has at least three, preferably five, guide elements 4.

[0075] The guide elements 4 are preferably designed as control rollers, preferably convex control rollers.

[0076] A foot 21 is preferably arranged, in particular integrally formed, on an underside of the base 2 facing away from the bearing area 22, serving as a contact surface for the base 2. The base 2 is thus fixedly positioned on a floor and remains in place during the entire translational-rotational movement of the platform 1, while the support element 3 with the modules arranged on it moves relative to the base 2.

[0077] An alternative embodiment of such a base 120 and an alternative support element 130 coupled to it is shown in the Figures 15 to 19 depicted.

[0078] In this embodiment, the support element 130 is multi-part, with a first plate forming the support area 131, which has slots in its corners and whose side edges are folded over towards the base 120. As the Figure 16 and 17 As shown, the folded edges 132 serve to receive a second plate of the support element 130, the underside of which forms the bearing area 134. Alternatively, the support element 130 can also be formed in one piece and have a flexible cover in the bearing area 131, the flexible cover projecting beyond the bearing area 131 and forming folded edges 132 that laterally cover the support element 130. Pockets 135 are formed in this second plate or in the one-piece support element 130, which serve to receive the sliding or rolling elements 5.

[0079] This has the advantage that the height of the support element 130 in the z-direction can be significantly reduced compared to the one in the Figures 5and 6 shown version variant.

[0080] The plate forming the bearing area 134 is preferably surrounded on its circumference by a damper 133, in relation to the plate forming the support area 131. The damper 133 is preferably designed as an elastic band in order to cushion impacts caused by objects being placed on the support area 131 within the support element 130 itself. In a one-piece design of the support element 130, the damper 133 surrounds the support element 130 on its circumference and is covered by the cover.

[0081] On the second plate forming the bearing area 134, a damper receptacle 136, here in the form of a step, is formed circumferentially into which the damper 133 can be inserted. Similarly, a damper receptacle 136, for example in the form of a step, would be formed circumferentially on a one-piece support element 130. Alternatively, the damper 133 can also be fixed to the support element by gluing or other fastening elements.

[0082] What's next in Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, in this embodiment the guide elements 4 are arranged on a common frame 11 fixed to the support element 130.

[0083] The guide elements 4 arranged on this frame 11 are both in the Figure 16 and 17 as shown in the version shown, as well as in the version according to Figures 5 and 6The guides are guided in partially open guide curve tracks 23, 123. Only the guide curve track 24, 124, which determines the translation direction A1, A2, is designed as a closed guide curve track.

[0084] Furthermore, preferably at least three of the guide elements 4 are in contact with the guide cam tracks 23, 24, 123, 124 during the guided translational-rotational movement.

[0085] The frame 11 is fixed to the bearing area 134 of the support element 130.

[0086] What next in the Figures 18 and 19 As shown, preferably at least two load-bearing support elements 12 are arranged projecting from the surface of the base 120 facing the supporting element 130.

[0087] The load-bearing support elements 12 are located in the Figures 18 and 19 The illustrated version is designed as a ball roller, with a holding element fixed in the bearing area 122 and the ball contained therein.

[0088] The support elements 12 are positioned in the vertical direction z such that, under low or medium load, a gap remains to the bearing area 134 of the support element 130 arranged above it, as exemplified in Figure 19 is shown. Only when the load-bearing element 130 is under heavy load do the support elements 12 provide additional support for the load-bearing element 130 and thus continue to ensure smooth movement of the platform 1.

[0089] The sliding or rolling elements 5 are located in the Figures 15 to 18 The illustrated version is fixed via mounting plates 52 on the side of the bearing area 134 or the support element 130 facing away from the base 2.

[0090] The mounting plates 52 have a larger surface area than the pockets 135 of the support element 130.

[0091] Another variant of such a base 2 is found in the Figures 7 to 10 depicted.

[0092] The Figures 7 to 10 show the structure of a room cell 9, which is arranged on the platform 1 consisting of base 2, 120 and support element 3, 130.

[0093] The contact area of ​​the base 2, 120 and the support element 3, 130 is significantly larger in area when viewed parallel to the plane of a floor 102 than that of the support element 3, 130 and the base 2, 120 of the Figures 1 to 6 shown variant.

[0094] The room cell 9 is shown here as an example equipped with modules of an interior furnishing system in the form of a work area 91, which in the example shown consists of a table 911, an office chair 912, several shelves 94.

[0095] The shelves 94 are integrated here into the room cell 9 bounding partition walls 96, the outer walls of which preferably close flush with the side edges of the base 2.

[0096] Furthermore, in Figure 7to recognize that these partition walls 96 are integrally formed here with the supporting element 3, 130.

[0097] It is of course also conceivable that the partition walls 96, which have shelves 94, are designed separately and are placed on the support element 3, 130 on the support area 31.

[0098] With the help of the platform 1, consisting of base 2, 120 and support element 3, 130, the room cell 9 can also be moved translationally and simultaneously rotationally from a corner of a room 10 which is bounded here by boundary surfaces in the form of room walls 101.

[0099] The Figures 8-10 The figures show the end positions of room cell 9, each rotated 90° counterclockwise.

[0100] As in Figure 8As shown, for example, a fold-down bed 95 is integrated into the wall at the rear of one of the boundary walls of room cell 9. A further shelf 94 is arranged above the bed 95. This final position makes it possible to continue using room 10 as a workspace while simultaneously creating a sleeping / resting area 92 separated by one of the partition walls 96.

[0101] At the in Figure 9 In the illustrated final position of room cell 9, room cell 9 is rotated so that the work area 91 is inaccessible. The sleeping / resting area 92 with the couch 95 remains accessible. In the embodiment shown here, the back of the partition wall 96 of room cell 9 is designed as a media wall 93.

[0102] Accordingly, in the Figure 10In the final position of room cell 9 shown, the work area 91 is accessible again. The sleeping / resting area 92 is not accessible here, as the corresponding partition wall 96 is abutting one of the room walls 101 of room 10.

[0103] The Figures 11 to 14 show a further embodiment of an arrangement according to the invention, in which a first group of modules of an interior fittings system, here in the form of a furniture group, are arranged on a first platform 1 and a second furniture group of a further interior fittings system is arranged on an adjacently arranged second platform 1.

[0104] The room cell 9, located on the first of the platforms 1, is in turn furnished as a sleeping / resting area 92, with a lounger 95, a shelf 94, a media wall 93, a stool 913 and a table 911.

[0105] Each of the two room cells 9 is further bounded on two sides by two partition walls 96 arranged at right angles to each other.

[0106] The right-hand room cell 9 according to Figure 11 is set up as a work area, with an office chair 912 placed on the support element 3, 130, a table 911, a container 914 and a shelf 94, which is placed against one of the two partition walls 96.

[0107] At the in Figure 11 In the arrangement of the two platforms 1 shown, they are aligned so that the two room cells form one large common room.

[0108] At the in Figure 12 The final position shown corresponds to the position of the room cell 9 equipped with the sleeping / resting area 92, as shown in the diagram. Figure 11 .

[0109] The right-hand room cell 9 is rotated 90° counterclockwise by a translational rotation movement of the platform 1, so that the two room cells 9 now form two separate rooms separated from each other by one of the partition walls 96.

[0110] At the in Figure 13 The arrangement variant shown corresponds to room cell 9 with work area 91 as shown in Figure 12 The final position shown. The left room cell 9 containing the sleeping / resting area 92 has been rotated clockwise by 90° so that the sleeping / resting area 92 is separated from the working area 91 by two partition walls 96 that lie next to each other.

[0111] At the in Figure 14 In the arrangement shown, the sleeping / resting area 92 corresponds to the Figure 13 rotated, whereas work area 91 (right room cell 9) returned to the in Figure 11 The position shown has moved.

[0112] What's next in Figure 11As illustrated by example, in which the modules of the respective interior fittings systems shown here are distributed on at least two separate platforms 1, the adjacent platforms 1 are arranged such that the translation directions A1, A2 of the adjacent support elements 3, 130 are oriented differently. In the embodiment shown here, the translation directions A1, A2 point in directions that differ from each other by 90°.

[0113] The adjacent platforms 1 are positioned such that in their starting position and in the final position rotated by the rotation angle α and multiples of the rotation angle α they are adjacent to each other along at least a partial length of a side edge 34.

[0114] In the Figures 11 to 14 In the arrangements shown, the respective side edges 34 of the supporting element 3, 130 are arranged abutting each other along the total length of each side edge 34.

[0115] What next in the Figures 11 to 14 As can be seen, in the adjacent platforms 1 shown here with support elements 3, 130 with square base area, the platforms 1 are positioned such that the support elements 3, 130 in their initial position and after a procedure rotated by an angle of 90°, 180° or 270° end position touch each other along at least a partial length of a side edge 34 of the respective support element 3, 130.

[0116] In order to further improve the fixation of the respective end positions of adjacent platforms 1, it is conceivable that the touching side edges 34 of adjacent support elements 3, 130 engage with each other in a force-locking or form-locking manner.

[0117] To support the movement of platform 1 or platforms 1, it is further conceivable that the platform(s) 1 have an energy storage device, for example in the form of a spring element or a damping element, with which the translational-rotational movement of the support element 3, 130 relative to the base 2, 120 is supported.

[0118] It is also conceivable that at least one of the supporting elements 3, 130 can be driven by motor, hydraulic or pneumatic means, at least in some areas.

[0119] The partition wall 96 preferably extends along one of the side edges 34 of the supporting element 3, 130 and can extend over at least a partial length of the side edge 34.

[0120] It is also conceivable that sensors are arranged on the base 2, 120 and / or the support element 3, 130, with which the respective end positions of the platform 1 and / or the movement of the support element 3, 130 relative to the base 2, 120 can be detected.

[0121] In addition to the chairs, tables, seating elements and shelves shown here, furniture also includes, for example, walls, especially partition walls, which are placed or arranged on the supporting element 3, 130.

[0122] Such a sensor element can, for example, be designed as an actuating element that serves to deactivate a motor driving the support element 3, 130 and is arranged on the base 2, 120 or the support element 3, 130 in such a way that the motor is deactivated shortly before reaching one of the end positions, so that the support element 3, 130 can pivot into the desired end position.

[0123] Using such sensor elements, monitoring and / or control of the use of individual or all modules of an interior design system is possible. Furthermore, the usage data collected and stored by the sensors enables optimized control of the modules.

[0124] The sensor signal(s) can also be used directly to secure the movement (safety queries) or to control the modules.

[0125] The following are examples of such sensor elements.

[0126] For example, a sensor element designed as a pressure sensor or several such pressure sensors can be located within the seat surface 62 of the seat element 61, as shown in the Figures 1 to 4 , be arranged in such a way that the use of the seating element 61 can be recorded.

[0127] Alternatively or additionally, a temperature sensor could be installed to measure the temperature of the seat surface 62. A control unit connected to the temperature sensor could then use the sensor signal to control a seat heater integrated into the seat surface 62 of the seat element 61. It is also conceivable to install such a pressure sensor on the load-bearing sliding or rolling element 5 on the underside of the support element 3, 130 facing the base 2, 120, to detect when the seat element 61 is in use.

[0128] Sensors designed as touch sensors are advantageously placed at various easily accessible points on the partitions 96 or shelves 94, as used in the Figures 7 to 14 The sensor elements shown are attached. Here, they serve primarily to control the modules of the interior fittings system, especially their orientation.

[0129] It is also conceivable to arrange sensors designed as touch sensors near the platform 1, for example at an interface, in particular room wall 101 or the floor 102, preferably also for controlling the modules of the interior fittings system, in particular their orientation.

[0130] Another conceivable design variant of a sensor element is a motion detection sensor or a brightness measurement sensor, particularly in the form of a camera, positioned near platform 1. Such a sensor element would, for example, make it possible to switch a light source on or off as needed.

[0131] The arrangement of a sensor element designed as a compass sensor on platform 1 and / or on at least one module of platform 1 enables sensor-controlled detection and, if necessary, alignment of platform 1 in a room or the alignment of individual modules on platform 1. Together with a timer, it is also possible to align the platform or individual modules of the platform according to a time of day using such compass sensors.

[0132] Furthermore, it is conceivable to arrange a sensor element designed as a proximity sensor, for example in the form of an infrared sensor, on the platform 1 and / or on at least one module of the platform 1, with which, for example, an orientation of the platform 1 in a room, the orientation of individual modules on the platform 1 or, as in the example mentioned above, an activation or deactivation of a functional element such as a light source is made possible.

[0133] For example, a group of four seating elements 61 arranged on a platform 1 can form a conference arrangement during the day, while in the evening the four seating elements 61 are only arranged in pairs towards each other.

[0134] It is also conceivable to use the above-mentioned design variants of sensor elements on other modules or for other purposes than the examples given above.

[0135] The platform 1 described above enables a space-saving movement of one or more modules of an interior fittings system on one or more platforms 1 from a first defined (living) situation to a second or further defined (living) situation(s) in a simple manner, coordinated by the guide elements 4 and the guide cam tracks 23, 123.

[0136] The number and arrangement of the described platforms 1 with modular interior fittings systems for rooms in relation to each other or to each other are highly variable and can be optimally adapted to the available room conditions.

[0137] Various usage scenarios for the modular interior fittings systems located on platforms 1 can be created without much effort by an ordering movement of platforms 1 and defined end positions can be reached.

[0138] As in the Figures 22 to 28c As shown, by arranging several partition walls 66 on individual platforms or with the furniture arranged on the platform 6 different constellations for different room uses can be created.

[0139] In particular, when considering the boundary surfaces that limit the movement of the furniture (6), such as room walls (101), the modules of the modular interior fittings system can be configured in different ways through different orientations. Instead of room walls (101), other boundary surfaces, such as other furniture (6) or fixed partitions, may also be present.

[0140] Thus, by arranging partitions 66 on the furniture 6, for example a seating element 61, the furniture 6 can be positioned in a rotating position such that it is closed to two room walls 101 or other boundary surfaces arranged at right angles to each other, as shown in Figure 24a shown. Figure 24b Figure 6 shows the position of such a piece of furniture that opens towards the room. Figure 25a and Figure 25bshow closed or open positions of two adjacent pieces of furniture 6, arranged on a single room wall 101 or another boundary surface also in a closed ( Figure 25a ) or open positioning ( Figure 25b ).

[0141] Arrangements with four adjacent pieces of furniture 6 are in the Figures 26a and 26b as well as Figure 27 shown, each in different rotational positions of the individual pieces of furniture 6.

[0142] Figures 28a to 28c shows again different rotational configurations of two adjacent pieces of furniture 6, spaced away from a room wall 101 or another boundary surface in different rotational configurations. Reference symbol list
