[0001] FLOATING GARDENS

[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present invention relates to mobile greenable platforms on which the climatic conditions can be modulated, in particular mobile garden platforms as a place to stay and meeting point with an attractive appearance and a pleasant climate.

[0004] STATE OF THE ART

[0005] Parks, green spaces, and stationary meeting places are well-known from the state of the art. Also well-known are vehicles that adjust the climate inside the vehicle to a comfortable level for the passengers.

[0006] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a visually appealing meeting or recreational location which offers a pleasant climate and can be made available as needed and in different locations.

[0008] This object is achieved by the mobile plantable platform having the features of claim 1. In one aspect, the invention relates to a mobile plantable platform comprising: an at least partially buried and / or planted surface, a tank for water storage, in particular a tank for water storage arranged below the surface, and

[0009] Means for modulating the climatic conditions on the surface of the platform, in particular the solar radiation, the temperature, the humidity, the air quality and / or the wind conditions, the platform being dimensioned so as to be able to accommodate at least one person on the surface.

[0010] The mobile platform comprises a surface that is at least partially buried or already covered with vegetation. The surface can be covered with plants in any density and arrangement. The vegetation and / or the plants can be natural or artificial in all forms. For example, the surface can comprise grass, in particular a lawn. Plants such as shrubs, bushes or trees can be placed on the lawn or at other points on the surface.

[0011] A platform within the meaning of this invention is a three-dimensional object with at least one surface. The platform may, for example, have side walls or side parts that extend downward from the surface (in the direction of gravity). The platform may, for example, be designed as a supporting "chassis" to support the claimed means, the surface, and all objects and persons located thereon.

[0012] In this context, the term "greenable" means that the platform is designed or contains the means to allow for greening. However, the term "greenable" does not exclude the possibility that the platform is already - at least partially - greened and can be further or additionally greened if necessary. Greening can also be achieved with non-green plants, such as plants with red, yellow, or orange leaves or flowers.

[0013] The plants are preferably planted into the surface in such a way that they have a stable base or perch and are planted into the surface. Alternatively, the plants can be arranged in containers, such as pots, on the surface.

[0014] "Buried" here means that the surface has soil or a substrate suitable for plant growth to allow for greening.

[0015] The term "on the surface" in the context of the present invention also includes "above the surface." This means that when an object or condition is described as "on the surface," that object or condition is also located or found above the surface, e.g., up to 0.5 m, 1 m, or 2 m above a person standing on the platform, or approximately up to 5 m above the surface.

[0016] In the context of the present invention, the word "mobile" means that the platform is displaceable or movable under its own power or by external power. In other words, the word "mobile" means that the platform is not permanently fixed in one location, but can be transported by suitable means or moves under its own power. If the platform does not move under its own power, it can be moved or shifted, for example, by support devices such as a crane.

[0017] The water storage tank is preferably filled with water and serves in particular to irrigate the plants on the platform. Furthermore, water can be taken from the tank as a means of modulating the climatic conditions. The water storage tank can also be designed as a drinking water tank. Alternatively, the tank can comprise several compartments that are or will be filled with different liquids, e.g. drinking water and fertilized water. Furthermore, the tank has a filling option, e.g. to fill the tank from outside the platform.

[0018] In one embodiment, the water storage tank is located below the surface of the platform so that it is not visible.

[0019] The means for modulating the local climatic conditions on the surface of the platform are those means that create or maintain a climate on the platform that is desired by a user. This climate can be modulated on parts of the surface or on the entire surface. In particular, the climate is modulated in three-dimensional spaces above the surface. The word "modulate" is equivalent to the words

[0020] "Change" or "adapt" is to be understood as "change" or "adapt." The means can modulate solar radiation, temperature, humidity, air quality, and / or wind conditions as needed and as desired. Suitable means are known to those skilled in the art from general technical knowledge. For example, in a hot and sunny environment, solar radiation can be reduced by shading devices such as parasols, trees, or shrubs. At the same time, the temperature can be lowered, for example, by fans, water mist, and / or air cooling devices on the platform. In dusty or polluted environments, air filters can be installed on the platform to purify the air.

[0021] Furthermore, the green surface and / or the (e.g., plant-based) means of modulating climatic conditions can make the platform visually attractive, e.g., in the form of a garden with plants and / or by means of water containers on the surface. This can, for example, create the visual impression of a mobile garden or a mobile "oasis."

[0022] The platform of the present invention is dimensioned such that at least one person, in particular at least one person with a body weight between 0.5 kg and 350 kg, can be supported on the surface. Preferably, the platform is dimensioned such that several people can be supported. In this context, the word "dimensioned" also means that the platform is structurally designed such that it can stably support the weight of at least one person, including all claimed devices, means and optionally transported goods. The platform can be of any desired height, in particular a height of 0.1 m to 3.5 or 2.5 m. As access to the platform, for example, a staircase, a ramp, a walkway or a lift can be or will be attached to the platform.

[0043] The means of movement are suitably mounted on the platform, e.g., below the surface or the water storage tank (the lifting or pulling device support means may also be mounted on the surface or on a side of the platform) to enable movement. The platform serves as a movable or mobile "chassis," which may include multiple "chassis" elements. The chassis also supports the loads of the equipment, objects, or people located on or in the platform.

[0044] The means of movement can move the platform both substantially horizontally (i.e. substantially perpendicular to gravity) and vertically (i.e. substantially with or against gravity). The means of movement can raise, lower, or move the platform to another location. The platform can also be moved on a rail system using suitable means. Lifting or pulling device receiving means can be used to move the platform by means of a tractor or a crane. The controls and movement patterns of the platform are further explained below.

[0056] The mobile, greenable platform can, for example, be controlled - be it actively by a person (also, for example, via a smartphone app or by telecommunications from a control center), by a pre-programmed computer program, or by artificial intelligence - so that the platform, using the means of movement, e.g. fills the water storage tank by driving to a water filling station. In this sense, the platform can also charge / fill an internal battery or an internal fuel tank by moving to a charging station or filling station, controlled as explained above. The platform can therefore, controlled as described, like an "iRobot" (known, for example, as a robot vacuum cleaner), pick up energy, water, drinks, food, and / or people as needed at suitable locations, e.g. at predefined supply or charging stations.Furthermore, the platform can move within a room as needed or randomly, for example to pick up people and then move them through the room. The movement can also take place in the sense of transport, for example of passengers, from A to B. It is also conceivable that the cleaning of surfaces or the watering on the platform, as described, can be actively controlled by a person (also, for example, via a smartphone app or by means of telecommunications from a control center), by a pre-programmed computer program or by artificial intelligence. Furthermore, it is within the meaning of the invention that the control system enables two or more platforms to meet and, if necessary, to be coupled, whereby the two or more platforms can then move together.
