[0002] Vehicle with a built-in furniture part

[0003] The invention relates to a vehicle with a built-in furniture part according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0004] A camper van can have a built-in furniture unit in the vehicle interior, for example, with a stove-sink combination, in which a hob and a sink are arranged side by side as a single unit to save space. The built-in furniture unit can be assigned a foldable hanging table that can be folded out into a horizontal position inside the vehicle.

[0005] Such a built-in furniture part is arranged in the vehicle interior of a generic vehicle. The spatial conditions in the vehicle interior are designed such that the built-in furniture part partially covers a side door cutout of the vehicle for a side sliding door. In this way, an outer side of the furniture part facing outwards in the vehicle's transverse direction is accessible from the outside of the vehicle via the side door cutout. The built-in furniture part also has a furniture part access side facing rearwards in the vehicle's longitudinal direction, which, together with the body-side door cutout, defines an occupant access area. In addition, the built-in furniture part has an inner side facing inwards in the vehicle's transverse direction. A hanging table can be suspended from a table pivot point on the furniture part's inner side.

[0006] A folding table for a vehicle is known from DE 103 19 933 B4. A table for a vehicle is known from DE 19960 169 A1. A device for connecting a utility object to a support part is known from DE 298 08 822 LJ1.

[0007] The object of the invention is to provide a vehicle with a built-in furniture component whose functionality is enhanced in a simple manner compared to the prior art. This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Preferred developments of the invention are disclosed in the subclaims.

[0008] The invention is based on a vehicle in whose interior a built-in furniture part is arranged. The built-in furniture part is specifically positioned in the vehicle interior such that it partially covers a side door cutout of the vehicle. In this way, an outer side of the furniture part facing outwards in the transverse direction of the vehicle is accessible from the outside of the vehicle via the body-side side door cutout. In addition, the built-in furniture part has a furniture access side facing rearwards in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Together with the body-side side door cutout, this side defines an occupant access area. In addition, the built-in furniture part has an inner side facing inwards in the transverse direction of the vehicle with a table pivot point onto which a hanging table can be attached.According to the characterizing part of claim 1, in order to increase the functionality of the built-in furniture part, the hanging table can be hooked not only on the inside of the furniture part, but also on the outside of the furniture part or the access side of the furniture part. For this purpose, the hanging table is detachably hooked on the inside of the furniture part. Additional table attachment points are provided on the outside of the furniture part and / or on the access side of the furniture part. After the hanging table has been removed from the inside of the furniture part, the hanging table can be hooked in a access-through position on the access side of the furniture part. In this position, the hanging table protrudes horizontally into the access area. Alternatively, the hanging table can also be hooked in an external position on the outside of the furniture part, in which the hanging table protrudes through the side door cutout to the outside of the vehicle.

[0009] In one technical implementation, the hanging table can be stably supported in its horizontal position of use via a table leg. It is preferred if the hanging table, in its inner position, its outer position, or its step-through position, is supported directly on the built-in furniture part via its table leg. For this purpose, the outer side of the furniture part, the inner side of the furniture part, and the step-through side of the furniture part can each have a table leg holder. The table leg can be supported by its base in the table leg holder. To ensure reliable support, it is preferred if the table leg and its base are secured in the respective table leg holder via a releasable lock.

[0010] The hanging table can be adjusted, at least in its outer position, from its horizontal use position to a vertical storage position around a folding axis at the table's pivot point. With a view to a space-saving arrangement, it is preferred if a storage recess is formed on one of the sides of the furniture part, in particular on the outer side of the furniture part, in which the hanging table is positioned in its storage position.

[0011] The table leg is preferably connected to the drop-in table as a single piece. For this purpose, the table leg can be hinged to the underside of the drop-in table around a pivot axis.

[0012] The hanging table can be adjusted from its horizontal use position to its storage position using the following process steps: First, the base of the table leg is released from the table leg holder on the furniture side. The now freely pivoting table leg is then pivoted until it rests against the underside of the hanging table. A locking mechanism is preferably provided on the underside of the hanging table to secure the table leg against the underside of the hanging table. The hanging table is then moved from its horizontal use position to its vertical storage position.

[0013] To further enhance the functionality of the built-in furniture component, it is preferable for the drop-in table to be at different heights in its inner, outer, and step-through positions. Accordingly, the table pivot points and / or the table leg mounts on the three sides of the furniture component can be positioned at different heights, at least in part.

[0014] To adapt the length of the table leg to different heights, the table leg can be designed in several sections and be telescopically adjustable. The table leg can also be equipped with locking devices, allowing the table leg to be adjusted to predefined lengths, which are adapted for installation of the hanging table in the inside position, the outside position, and / or the walk-through position.

[0015] The table articulation point can preferably be implemented as a rail system in which a hanging table joint part is arranged with a pivot joint around the folding axis in a joint rail fixed to the furniture part. To assemble the hanging table, its hanging table joint part can be pushed into the receiving rail fixed to the furniture part in a longitudinal direction of the rail. The pushing-in process takes place until a movement stop is reached. Once the movement stop is reached, the hanging table joint part can be secured in position via a releasable locking mechanism, i.e., it can be positioned fixedly in the longitudinal direction of the rail. Alternatively, particularly in the inner position, the hanging table can not be positioned fixedly in the longitudinal direction of the rail, but rather can be adjusted over an adjustment range in the longitudinal direction of the rail.In this case, it is preferable if the associated table leg mount does not block any adjustment movement of the suspended table in the longitudinal direction of the rail. Against this background, the table leg mount can be designed as a sliding rail in which the table leg base is mounted so that it slides in the longitudinal direction of the rail.

[0016] An embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the attached figures.

[0017] They show:

[0018] Figures 1 to 5 each show different representations of the hanging table according to the invention.

[0019] Figure 1 shows a piece of built-in furniture 1 installed in the vehicle interior of a camper van, viewed from the inside of the vehicle. On its upper kitchen work surface 33, the built-in furniture 1 has a hob 2 with a gas cooking ring, adjacent to a sink 4 and a cover 6. Furthermore, the built-in furniture 1 is arranged directly next to a side door cutout 5 on the body side of the camper van, which door can be closed by a side sliding door (not shown). In Figures 1, 3 and 5, the side door is open, so that an outer side 9 of the furniture 1 (Figure 5), which faces outwards in the transverse direction y of the vehicle, is accessible from the outside of the vehicle via the side door cutout 5. The furniture part outer side 9 merges in the vehicle longitudinal direction x towards the rear of the vehicle at a furniture edge 10 (Figure 1 or 5) into a furniture part access strip 11 pointing towards the rear of the vehicle.This, together with the side door cutout 5, forms an occupant access area 13 through which vehicle occupants can access the vehicle interior.

[0020] In Figure 1, the built-in furniture part 1 has a hanging table 17 on its inner side 15 facing towards the inside of the vehicle in the vehicle transverse direction y. This table is connected to the furniture part's inner side 15 at a table articulation point 19. The hanging table 17 is therefore shown in Figure 1 in its inner position I, in which it projects towards the inside of the vehicle in the vehicle transverse direction y. In addition, the hanging table 17 is supported in its horizontal position of use by a table leg 21. The table leg 21 is not supported with its foot 23 directly on the vehicle floor 25, but rather, in a space-saving manner, on a table leg holder 27 on the furniture part's inner side 15.

[0021] As can be seen from the enlarged view according to Figure 2, the table articulation point 19 on the inside 15 of the furniture part is implemented as a rail system in which a hanging table joint part 29 is arranged in a pivoting manner about a folding axis K in a joint rail 31 fixed to the furniture part. To assemble the hanging table 17, its hanging table joint part 29 is pushed laterally into the joint rail 31 fixed to the furniture part in a longitudinal rail direction x. The hanging table 17 is positioned in its inner position I at the height of the kitchen work surface 33 and is adjustable in the longitudinal rail direction x over an adjustment range s (Figure 1). The table leg holder 27 arranged on the inside 15 of the furniture part is designed in Figure 1 or 2 as a slide rail along which the table leg base 23 together with the hanging table 17 can be adjusted in the longitudinal rail direction x.

[0022] Disassembly of the hanging table 17 from its inner position I (Figure 1) is performed as follows: First, a lateral movement stop of the hinged rail 31 fixed to the furniture part is released. Then, the hanging table hinged part 29 is pushed out of the hinged rail 31 fixed to the furniture part in the longitudinal direction x of the rail. In addition, the table leg foot 23 is released from the table leg holder 27.

[0023] Figure 3 shows the hanging table 17 in its access position D, in which the hanging table 17 projects into the access area 13 in the horizontal position of use. The hanging table 17 is also held at a table articulation point 37 on the furniture part access side 11. The table articulation point 37 is implemented as a rail system, similar to the inside table articulation point 19. In contrast to the inside position I, the hanging table 17 in the access position D is not adjustable over an adjustment range in the longitudinal rail direction y. Rather, during assembly of the hanging table 17, its hanging table joint part 29 is pushed into the furniture part-fixed joint rail 31 in the longitudinal rail direction y and secured therein by a releasable locking mechanism (not shown), i.e., it is positioned stationary in the longitudinal rail direction y.

[0024] In the access position D shown in Figure 3 or 4, the hanging table 17 is also positioned at the same height as the kitchen work surface 33, as in its inner position I.

[0025] In the access position D (Figure 3 or 4), the table leg 21 is secured with its foot 23 in a table leg holder 39. However, this is not implemented as a slide rail, as on the inside 15 of the furniture part. Rather, the table leg holder 39 has a releasable locking mechanism 40, which is only roughly schematically indicated in Figure 4. The locking mechanism 40 ensures a fixed positioning of the table leg 21 in the vehicle's transverse direction y.

[0026] Figure 5 shows the hanging table 17 in its outer position A. The table pivot point 41 formed in the outer side 9 of the furniture part is constructed identically to the table pivot point 37 in the furniture part access side 11. Likewise, the table leg holder 43 in the outer side 9 of the furniture part is constructed identically to the table leg holder 39 in the furniture part access side 11. In the outer position A (Figure 5), the hanging table 17 protrudes through the side door cutout 5 to the outside of the vehicle.

[0027] In contrast to its inner position I and its access position D, the hanging table 17 is positioned in its outer position (Figure 4) by a height offset Az (Figure 5) below the kitchen worktop 33. Accordingly, the hanging table pivot point 41 and the table leg receptacle 43 are positioned at different heights compared to the inner position I and the access position D. To adapt the table leg length I (Figure 4) to the different heights, the table leg 21 is constructed from two table leg elements 20, 22 (Figure 2 or 4) that are telescopically adjustable relative to one another. The table leg 21 also has a locking means 45, with the aid of which the table leg 21 can be telescopically adjusted to predefined lengths that are adapted for installation of the hanging table 17 in the inner position I, the outer position A, or the access position D.

[0028] In the outer position A shown in Figure 5, the hanging table 17 can be adjusted at the table pivot point 41 about the folding axis K from its horizontal use position into a vertical storage position (not shown). A storage recess 47 (Figure 5) is formed in the outer side 9 of the furniture part, in which the hanging table 17 can be arranged in a space-saving manner in its storage position.
