Description

[0001] The invention relates to a ceiling, in particular a ceiling for tiny houses.

[0002] Ceilings are well known in the art, which is why a separate printed description is omitted here. A ceiling is generally understood to be a building structure that forms the upper end of a room. Additional structures, such as a separate roof structure, may be located above the ceiling. However, the ceiling itself can also function as a roof structure. In this case, the ceiling provides protection from the weather. Ceilings are also typically intended to give a room a homely atmosphere.

[0003] It is known that ceilings comprise a plurality of slat-shaped profile elements made of metal, wherein the profile elements are arranged next to one another transversely to their longitudinal extent.

[0004] The object of the invention is to improve the known ceiling and to provide a ceiling, especially for tiny houses, which, in addition to protection from the weather and a homely atmosphere, can offer further functions and advantages and at the same time is particularly easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0005] To achieve this object, a ceiling is proposed which is characterized in that the profile elements have a base and a first leg arranged thereon, whereby a volume space is defined, and in that the profile elements are open on the room side, and in that the profile elements have load-bearing and / or support elements arranged on the base and / or the first leg, wherein the load-bearing and / or support elements are designed to receive functional elements.

[0006] The ceiling consists of slat-shaped profile elements. For the purposes of this invention, "slat-shaped" means that the longitudinal extent significantly exceeds the transverse extent of the profile elements. The profile elements are therefore significantly longer than they are wide or high. The ceiling is composed of a plurality of these profile elements.

[0007] The profile elements are made of metal. The advantage of metal profile elements is that they are non-flammable or only slightly flammable and very durable. A metal ceiling can be assembled and disassembled almost as often as required, which is particularly advantageous for designs in which the ceiling is intended as a ceiling for tiny houses, as tiny houses are often designed to be easy to move or remodel.

[0008] It is therefore particularly advantageous to construct the profile elements from light metal, particularly aluminum or aluminum alloys, as aluminum, in particular, is both lightweight and sufficiently resilient. A ceiling made of aluminum profiles can therefore be installed without the need for large equipment, as aluminum profiles are comparatively lightweight. On the other hand, such a ceiling is resilient, which is particularly advantageous when, as explained in more detail below, functional elements or other components are to be incorporated into the ceiling.

[0009] In the final assembly state, the profile elements are arranged next to each other perpendicular to their longitudinal extension, thus forming a closed ceiling. The ceiling can either form a room enclosure and be located below a roof structure, or it can form a house enclosure, i.e., it itself forms the roof structure of a house. If the ceiling is located below a roof structure, an insulation layer can be provided between the ceiling and the roof structure. The insulation layer can be permanently attached to the ceiling, e.g., with adhesive, or detachably, e.g., with screws.

[0010] The profile elements can extend with their longitudinal extent entirely or only partially over the length or width of the floor space of a house. They preferably extend over the entire length or width of a house. The house can in particular be a tiny house with a preferably rectangular floor space, particularly preferably with a square floor space. A preferred embodiment provides that the profile elements are to be selected in their longitudinal and width dimensions such that they can be installed at the installation site without cutting and that they cover the entire floor space in the finally assembled state. For this purpose, the profile elements are to be selected in their width dimensions such that the number of profile elements required is an integer divisor of the length or width of the floor space of the house.

[0011] According to the invention, the profile elements have a base and, at a first end portion of the base, a first leg, thereby defining a volume. The advantage of designing the profile elements with a base and a first leg is that more surface area is available for furnishing the ceiling compared, for example, to a ceiling consisting of profile elements with only a base.

[0012] To simplify the fitting of the ceiling, the invention provides load-bearing and / or support elements. These are arranged on the base and / or the leg. The load-bearing and / or support elements have mounting points and / or surfaces for functional elements. Load-bearing and support elements within the meaning of this invention are elements that are suitable for carrying or supporting functional elements. They therefore have, in particular, a suitable shape and are stable enough to carry or support the weight of a functional element mounted on them. The ceiling according to the invention therefore offers the advantage that the ceiling itself provides means for fastening in the form of load-bearing and / or support elements. The ceiling according to the invention thus differs, for example, from a ceiling composed of a plurality of profile elements, in which the profile elements only have a base, for example.In these cases, the user must subsequently install separate fastening devices for functional elements in several installation steps. For example, holes must be drilled and hooks must be attached. In comparison, equipping the ceiling according to the invention with functional elements requires fewer fastening devices and fewer installation steps, while still allowing flexibility in the design of the ceiling.

[0013] A particularly advantageous feature in this context is that the profile elements are open on the room side and thus accessible. This further simplifies the assembly and disassembly of functional elements. Any maintenance or replacement of a functional element can therefore be carried out at any time without major effort.

[0014] A preferred embodiment therefore also provides for all functional elements to be mounted on the ceiling without any additional fastening devices, e.g., suspended, hooked, or clamped. The functional elements can thus be mounted completely tool-free, which contributes to a particularly simple ceiling installation.

[0015] Another preferred embodiment, which should be mentioned in this context, provides for the load-bearing and / or support elements to be designed as L- and / or T-shaped hooks. Functional elements can be particularly easily suspended or clamped onto a ceiling with L- or T-shaped load-bearing and / or support elements in the manner mentioned. L- and T-shaped hooks also provide good support or receiving surfaces for functional elements, particularly those with a rectangular cross-section.

[0016] In this way, the ceiling can be equipped with ventilation ducts, cable ducts, or lighting, among other things. The lighting can be, for example, LED rails clamped between two hooks. As mentioned above, the ventilation and cable ducts can have a rectangular cross-section and thus be supported or carried by the hooks, as will be explained in more detail below with reference to the figures and the embodiments shown therein.

[0017] Another embodiment provides for the profile elements to have holes. In particular, the profile elements have holes on the load-bearing and / or support elements themselves or on surfaces adjacent to the load-bearing and / or support elements, so that fastening means that can be inserted into the holes interact with the load-bearing and / or support elements, thus providing additional stability to the functional elements and, for example, preventing unintentional slipping. The fastening means are preferably detachable fastening means such as screws, so that functional elements can be replaced at any time, for example.

[0018] According to a further embodiment, in addition to the base and the first leg arranged at the first end section of the base, the profile elements also have a second leg arranged at a second end section of the base. The profile elements are therefore U-shaped in cross-section. The advantage of this design is that adjacent profile elements can be connected to one another in a particularly stable manner, since one leg of a first profile element can be connected to a leg of a second, adjacent profile element in a form-fitting and force-fitting manner. The profile elements can preferably be detachably screwed to one another, which makes the ceiling particularly stable in its final assembled state, while also allowing it to be easily assembled and disassembled.

[0019] A further embodiment results from the profile elements having a first collar arranged on an end section of the first leg opposite the base and a second collar arranged on an end section of the second leg opposite the base. The legs have sides facing one another and sides facing away from one another. The collars are arranged on the sides of the legs facing away from one another. The collars therefore point away from one another. The collars are arranged orthogonally to the respective leg or, in other words, the first collar is arranged at a right angle to the first leg and the second collar at a right angle to the second leg. The collars help to ensure that additional elements can be accommodated on the ceiling.The collars create a cavity between two adjacent profile elements in the final assembly state, and the collars themselves can serve as a support surface. A corresponding design is discussed further below.

[0020] In addition to the collars, the profile elements can also have a first web on an end section of the first collar opposite the first leg and a second web on an end section of the second collar opposite the second leg. The webs form an extension in the direction in which the legs already point. The first web is arranged at a right angle to the first collar and the second web at a right angle to the second collar. Thanks to the webs, the ceiling can be equipped with further elements, in particular ceiling elements such as ceiling panels. In this way, a closed ceiling appearance can be achieved in the finally installed state. The webs can serve as contact surfaces and lateral support. The ceiling elements are preferably fastened detachably, e.g. using screws or dowels. This contributes to the easy installation and dismantling of the ceiling.In addition, profile elements with webs can be connected particularly well to one another, e.g. by screwing.

[0021] In a further, particularly preferred embodiment, additional fastening of the ceiling elements by means of screws or dowels, for example, can be dispensed with. For example, the profile elements have a first edge on an end section of the first web opposite the first collar and a second edge on an end section of the second web opposite the second collar. The webs have sides facing one another and sides facing away from one another. The edges are arranged on the sides facing one another. The first edge is arranged at a right angle to the first web and the second edge at a right angle to the second web. The edges therefore point towards one another. Ceiling elements, for example, can rest on the edges. This has the advantage that the ceiling elements can be assembled and disassembled particularly easily without the use of tools.The appearance of the ceiling can thus be changed and adapted particularly easily by exchanging ceiling elements according to current preferences, e.g., regarding color or material. The ceiling elements should preferably be selected with dimensions that allow a sufficiently large gap between the ceiling element and the webs and the ceiling element and the collar, so that the ceiling elements can be easily inserted and removed and moved. Further preferred embodiments, including with regard to the material of the ceiling elements, are discussed in further exemplary embodiments and the descriptions of the figures.

[0022] In another embodiment, the webs form an acute angle with their edges. This minimizes the contact area between the ceiling elements and the profile elements, preventing moisture accumulation and possible mold growth.

[0023] The profile elements are designed to be constructed in one piece. This means that the legs, collars, webs, and edges are not subsequently attached, e.g., by welding or screwing, but rather the profile element is formed from a single piece. Legs, collars, webs, and edges can be formed, e.g., by bending. Alternatively, the profile elements are manufactured using the continuous casting process. The profile elements are therefore easy to machine, cost-effective, and particularly stable against forces acting on them.

[0024] As already mentioned, another feature of the ceiling is its inclusion of ceiling elements. This creates a closed ceiling appearance, lending the room a homely atmosphere. The ceiling elements are arranged along the ribs and / or edges and are preferably detachably connected to the profile elements. This facilitates the removal or replacement of the ceiling elements, whether for maintenance purposes or to meet personal preferences regarding material or color. The ceiling is thus flexible in its design and easy to maintain.

[0025] According to a further feature, the ceiling has running gears. The running gears are arranged in the hollow space formed by profile elements that adjoin one another in the finally assembled state, provided the profile elements have collars arranged on the legs. The profile elements do not adjoin one another flush, but rather a gap is left between them. The running gears have suspensions that extend through this gap into the room. Running gears within the meaning of this invention are components by means of which running elements that can be attached to the running gear can be moved, in particular displaced, within the room. The running gear can have wheels or rollers for this purpose. In the finally assembled state, the running gears are therefore integrated into the ceiling according to the invention, which allow running elements to be moved within the room with their help.An example design of a chassis is explained in more detail in the descriptions of the figures. The chassis or chassis elements can be moved manually or, preferably, automatically, e.g., by electric motor. It is particularly advantageous here that the ceiling can be equipped with cable ducts as mentioned above, in which prefabricated cable harnesses with plug-in connections are laid, which can be used to operate all electrical consumers, such as electric motors. The chassis elements can thus be positioned differently in the room as required. Chassis elements can be devices such as televisions, projectors, loudspeakers, or fans.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the mobile elements are movable walls. This results in flexible room design. Permanent walls are preferably combined with movable walls. The movable walls can then, for example, be positioned in front of the permanent walls and their accessible side can serve as a shelving unit. For redesign purposes, such as separating off part of a room, the movable wall can then be moved to the desired position. Additional elements are preferably integrated into the movable wall, such as fold-out table tops, lamps or monitors. This offers a particularly flexible and space-saving option for room design. For example, a home office area could be separated from a living area. The home office area can be partially or completely equipped with the elements provided by the movable wall, such as table tops or monitors.If the home office area is not currently in use and the separating, movable wall is moved in front of a permanently installed wall, for example, the space of the home office area is now available to the living area.

[0027] The profile elements can be colored as desired (e.g. painted or powder-coated), especially where they are visible.

[0028] The profile elements can be positively and force-fitted to various supporting structures. For example, it is conceivable for the profile elements to rest directly on permanently installed, load-bearing walls. Alternatively or additionally, the profile elements can be attached to supporting frames or beams. The profile elements can, in particular, be screwed to the supporting structures. This offers the advantage that the ceiling can be assembled and disassembled again using simple tools.

[0029] The proposed ceiling is also particularly suitable for installation in a modular house, in particular a modular tiny house, with a supporting body, a house body supported by the supporting body and a roof body supported by the house body, wherein the house body has a support structure which has posts and struts that can be combined with one another according to the modular principle, wherein the posts and struts have, on the one hand, plug-in means designed to correspond to one another and, on the other hand, provide operatively connected stops, as well as with functional and facade elements, wherein the support structure is designed to interchangeably accommodate the functional elements on the inside of the house body and the facade elements on the outside of the house body according to the modular principle. This results in a tiny house in which the entire house, including the inventive ceiling, can be assembled and disassembled using simple tools.The installation does not require professional, trained craftsmen. It is sufficient if the installation personnel are appropriately trained.

[0030] Further features and advantages are evident from the following description based on the figures.

[0031] In Fig. 1 A view of an exemplary Tiny House 1 is shown. The floor area of ​​the Tiny House 1 is less than 50 m2. The ceiling according to the invention is advantageously suitable as a ceiling for such a Tiny House 1.

[0032] The Tiny House 1 has a house body 5 and a roof body 2 with a first roof side 3 and a second roof side 4, which together form a pointed roof.

[0033] In Fig. 2 A second view of Tiny House 1 is shown, showing the solar modules 6 mounted on the second roof side 4. The solar modules 6 can be used to supply energy to Tiny House 1.

[0034] Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of a Tiny House 1 with a flat roof 7 instead of a pitched roof.

[0035] As a further embodiment, a Tiny House 1 can be equipped with a pent roof. However, this is not shown in the figures. Roof inclination angles between 5° and 60° can be provided. When equipped with solar modules 6, an inclination angle of at least 15° is provided. A inclination angle of 30° is particularly preferred, which also allows for green roofing.

[0036] Fig. 4 shows an exploded view of a tiny house 1 with a flat roof 7. It shows an outer support structure 8 and an inner support structure 9, which are designed to accommodate a number of house elements. Cladding elements 13, wall elements 14, and facade elements 17 can be attached to the support structures 8 and 9. The aforementioned elements can be, for example, wall cladding, door or window elements, or insulation elements.

[0037] It is also indicated here how a ceiling according to the invention, consisting of profile elements 11, can be arranged on a supporting frame 10 and / or support elements 12. The supporting frame 10 and the support elements 12 can form a supporting structure to which the profile elements 11 can be screwed.

[0038] The upper end of the Tiny House 1 is formed by an insulating layer 15 and the roof elements 16. The exploded view illustrates the modularity of the Tiny House 1, to which the ceiling according to the invention further contributes.

[0039] In Fig. 5 A schematic sectional view of a first embodiment of a ceiling according to the invention can be seen. The profile elements 11 that make up the ceiling are located below the support elements 12.

[0040] Fig. 5 It can be seen that the profile elements 11 according to this first exemplary embodiment have a base 18, a first leg 19, and a second leg 20, wherein the first leg 19 is arranged at a first end section and the second leg 20 is arranged at a second end section of the base 18. The profile elements 11 are open on the room side and can, for example, accommodate ceiling elements 30. The illustration of the third ceiling element 30 from the left indicates that the ceiling elements 30 can be raised if necessary.

[0041] Fig. 6 shows the sectional view of the first embodiment in an enlarged scale, so that the base 18, the first leg 19, and the second leg 20 can be seen more clearly. This illustration also shows a first embodiment of the carrying and supporting elements 27.

[0042] In Fig. 7 1 shows a representation of a roof element 16, a support element 12, and a second embodiment of a profile element 11. The roof element 16 and the support element 12 are designed as profiles. Roof elements 16 and support element 12, as well as profile elements 11, can be made of light metal, in particular aluminum or aluminum alloys. The roof elements 16, the support elements 12, and the profile elements 11 can be screwed together, although this is not possible in Fig. 7 is not explicitly shown. This contributes to the durability of the house as well as to its ease of assembly and disassembly.

[0043] Fig. 8 shows a longitudinal section through the support element 12 or a cross section through the roof element 16 and the profile element 11.

[0044] The Fig. 8 It can be seen that in a preferred embodiment, a profile element 11 has a base 18, on which a first leg 19 is arranged at one end section and a second leg 20 at a second end section. A collar 21 is arranged at a right angle to the first leg 19 and points outwards. Likewise, a collar 22 is arranged at a right angle to the second leg 20 and also points outwards. The collars thus point away from one another. At the ends of the collars 21 and 22, webs 23 and 24 are again attached at an angle of 90°. The ends are formed by edges 25 and 26, with collar 21 being at a 90° angle to web 23 and collar 26 being at a 90° angle to web 24. The collars point inwards and towards one another, respectively. The profile elements 11 are therefore mirror-symmetrical in their cross-section.

[0045] Supporting and supporting elements 27 are arranged on the base 18 and the legs 19 and 20. Shown here is an embodiment in which the supporting and supporting elements 27 are designed as T-shaped hooks 28 and L-shaped hooks 29.

[0046] The Fig. 9 -14 show profile elements 11 in cross-section with exemplary equipment with various ceiling and functional elements.

[0047] It can be seen that the carrying and supporting elements 20 in the form of T- and L-shaped hooks 21, 22 form receiving points or surfaces for functional elements.

[0048] Fig. 9 shows a configuration with a ceiling element 30. In this embodiment, the ceiling element rests on the edges 25 and 26. Suitable ceiling elements include calcium silicate panels, which can absorb and release water vapor and thus contribute to regulating humidity and creating a pleasant indoor climate.

[0049] In Fig. 9 In addition, gaps are shown which preferably remain between ceiling elements 30 and webs 21 and 22 and ceiling elements 30 and collars 23 and 24 so that the ceiling elements 30 can be easily moved and unhooked.

[0050] Extract air and supply air ducts 31 and 33 can also contribute to a good indoor climate, as they are shown in the Fig. 10 and 11 are shown. The supply air ducts are equipped with nozzles 32 through which supply air can be directed into the room. The ventilation ducts 31 and 33 are held, for example, by T-shaped hooks 28.

[0051] Fig. 12 shows that cable ducts with cables 34 can be accommodated on the supporting and supporting elements 27, and according to the exemplary embodiment, in particular on the L-shaped hooks 29. The ceiling can therefore be equipped with cable ducts in which, for example, prefabricated cable harnesses with plug-in connections are laid. This allows electrical consumers, such as lighting or electric motors, to be operated via the cabling provided by the ceiling.

[0052] A lamp 35 is in Fig. 13 For example, it is clamped between two T-shaped hooks 28. The light source can be, for example, a long-life LED. Where light sources 35 are attached to the support and supporting elements 20, it is advisable to install translucent ceiling elements 30, e.g., glass panels 36. If the light source 35 needs to be replaced, the glass panel 36 can simply be removed, the light source 35 replaced, and the glass panel 36 then reattached.

[0053] In Fig. 14 Two profile elements 11 can be seen which adjoin each other leaving a gap 42.

[0054] Another example of equipment is Fig. 14 It can be seen how carriages 39 can be accommodated in a cavity formed between two profile elements 11, which have collars 21 and 22, respectively. The carriages 39 can have rollers 40 and be equipped with a suspension 42. The suspension 42 extends through the gap 42 left between two profile elements 11. Travel elements (not visible in the drawing) can be attached to these suspensions 42. For example, they can accommodate movable room dividers such as walls. The movable walls can be operated, for example, with electric motors.

[0055] Fig. 14 also shows, by way of example, where bores 37 can be located. Here, bores 37 are located in the base 18, specifically opposite the support surfaces provided by L-shaped hooks 29, on which the exhaust air duct 33 partially rests. Fasteners 38 are guided through the bores, which interact with the exhaust air duct 33 and the L-shaped hooks 28, thus additionally securing the ventilation duct 33. The example of the exhaust air duct 30 also clearly shows how the supporting and load-bearing elements 27, designed as L- and T-shaped hooks 28 and 29, provide both supporting surfaces and supporting surfaces. Thus, the L-shaped hooks 29, which are arranged on the base 18, serve as supporting surfaces, and the L-shaped hooks 29, which are attached to the legs 19 and 20, serve as lateral supporting surfaces for the exhaust air duct 33.

[0056] In Fig. 15 a preferred embodiment of the ceiling can be seen, in which the ceiling in its final assembled state is composed of ten profile elements 11. The equipment with ceiling and functional elements, as shown here, is purely exemplary. Ceiling elements 30 and 36, ventilation ducts 31 and 33, lighting devices 35 and chassis 39 can be attached in any position and replaced at any time. The equipment with ceiling and functional elements is not limited to the examples shown here. Devices such as televisions or projectors can also be mounted on the load-bearing and supporting elements 27. Apart from the chassis 39 with suspension 42, to which a movable wall can be attached, it is also indicated that fixed walls 43 can also be provided. The profile elements 11 can rest on the fixed walls 43. The profile elements 11 can also be screwed to the fixed walls 43, which contributes to the stability of the ceiling.

[0057] Fig. 16 shows that, as an alternative to mounting functional elements on the load-bearing and supporting elements 27, the functional elements can also be mounted using universal holders 44. The universal holder 44 has surfaces 46 that rest on the edges 25, 26. A gap can be left between surfaces 46 and webs 23, 24 so that the universal holders 44, like the other ceiling elements 30, can be lifted and replaced at any time. In particular, the universal holders can be equipped with functional elements and then hung into the profile elements 11. The universal holders 44 have holes 45 for the purpose of mounting functional elements. Any number of holes 45 can be provided in various positions and distances. Examples are shown in Fig. 16 Three holes 45 are shown. Fasteners or cables, among other things, can be routed through the holes 45. For example, screws for attaching a projector ceiling mount and projector cables (both not shown) can be routed through the holes 45.

[0058] Fig. 17 shows the preferred embodiment of Fig. 15 with a top view of a profile element 11. This shows that the profile elements 11 lie next to each other transversely to their longitudinal extent.

[0059] Fig. 18 shows a view of a ceiling according to the invention from below. Here, it can be seen that the profile elements 11 can accommodate ceiling elements 30 over their entire longitudinal extent. The ceiling elements 30 can have various dimensions. The profile elements 11 can be colored (e.g., painted or powder-coated), particularly in places where they are not covered by ceiling elements or other elements. The profile elements 11 can, for example, be colored in the color of the ceiling elements, which contributes to the impression of a uniform, closed ceiling. Bezugszeichen
