Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] Driving simulator integrated into a living room table

[0003] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The invention, as the title of this descriptive document states, is a driving simulator integrated into a living room table. It is an innovation that offers advantages previously unknown within current technology.

[0005] TECHNICAL SECTOR

[0006] The present invention falls within the sector of everyday needs, especially in sports, games, entertainment, in the classification of card games, roulette or board games, indoor games that use small movable game elements, games not provided for elsewhere.

[0007] Similarly, it falls under the section for board games and games of chance.

[0008] It also falls under the classification of tables, desks, office furniture, furniture with drawers, drawers, and general constituent parts of furniture.

[0009] STATE OF THE ART

[0010] The present invention arises because the structures of driving simulators available on the market require a lot of space to remain mounted.

[0011] Since assembling and disassembling them each time is impractical, they end up stored in a closet or put up for second-hand sale.

[0012] Accordingly, this invention provides a driving simulator integrated into a lounge table that allows the simulator elements to be easily deployed and stored, occupying minimal space when not in use.

[0013] Currently, no driving simulator integrated into a living room table is known to exist that presents structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal to or similar to those described in this specification, as claimed. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] The object of the present invention is the creation of a driving simulator integrated into a lounge table that provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany the present description.

[0015] The present invention is a driving simulator integrated into a living room table, which consists of a table that has the components of a driving simulator embedded inside, with the ability to be easily deployed and stored, guaranteeing an immersive and practical gaming experience for driving game enthusiasts.

[0016] This innovation solves the problem of the space required for traditional driving simulators.

[0017] This simulator is beneficial, especially for those users who want to enjoy an immersive driving experience without sacrificing space in their home.

[0018] Conveniently, the table that integrates the simulator features a rectangular prism-shaped structure, sufficiently robust, with ample interior space and a fold-out cover.

[0019] This fold-out cover is divided into a movable part and a fixed part, joined by hinges, allowing the movable part to fold over the fixed part, acting as a support for the movable part.

[0020] The components of a driving simulator include at least a steering wheel, pedals, and a seat, and optionally, a gear shift module and handbrake.

[0021] These components can be connected to a console, a screen and a power supply by means of cables that pass through a hole in one of the sides of the table, or they can consist of their own batteries and a Bluetooth connection.

[0022] The steering wheel is attached to the fixed part by folding hinges, so that when the fixed part is unfolded and opened, the steering wheel unfolds for use. The pedals are attached to the base, inside the table's interior space.

[0023] The seat, for its part, is of a suitable size to be used and stored within the interior space of the table, and has a system to move it forward or backward and lock that movement.

[0024] Both the steering wheel and the pedals are coupled with a system that allows their inclination to be varied to suit the height and comfort of the user.

[0025] The gear shift and handbrake module can be attached to the base, inside the interior space of the table.

[0026] Additionally, the table, in an adjoining space, can have an area designated for installing computer equipment, such as a PC, or for storage.

[0027] A fold-out cover can also be added, which could house a screen that unfolds along with the cover. This arrangement provides a more immersive gaming experience and transforms the table into a completely self-contained and functional piece of furniture, such as a driving simulator.

[0028] To use the driving simulator integrated into a lounge table, first unfold the movable cover over the fixed one, then unfold the steering wheel, and remove the seat and pedals from the interior space.

[0029] Subsequently, the system is switched on and driving begins using the steering wheel, pedals, and the gear shift and handbrake module.

[0030] When finished, the system is turned off, the components are folded inside the table, and the cover is closed to turn it back into a living room table.

[0031] EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES

[0032] To complete the description being made and in order to help in the better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive report is accompanied, as an integral part thereof, by some figures in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented.

[0033] Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the driving simulator integrated into a living room table. PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.

[0034] This invention relates to a driving simulator integrated into a lounge table, distinguished by including, within a table (1), the components of a driving simulator (2), which can be easily deployed and stored, guaranteeing an immersive and practical gaming experience for driving game enthusiasts.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the table (1) has a sufficiently robust rectangular prism-shaped structure with a large interior space (1.1) and a fold-out cover (1.2).

[0036] In the preferred embodiment, the fold-out cover (1.2) is divided into a movable part (1.2.1) and a fixed part (1.2.2), joined by hinges, allowing the movable part (1.2.1) to unfold over the fixed part (1.2.2), which acts as a support for the movable part (1.2.1).

[0037] In another preferred embodiment, the components of a driving simulator (2) include at least a steering wheel (2.1), pedals (2.2), a gear shift module, a handbrake, and a seat (2.3). These components may be connected to an external console, display, and power supply by means of cables passing through a hole in one of the faces of the table (1), or by wireless methods.

[0038] Preferably, the steering wheel (2.1) is attached by folding hinges to the fixed part (1.2.2), so that when the fixed part (1.2.2) is unfolded and opened, the steering wheel (2.1) unfolds to allow its use.

[0039] Preferably, the pedals (2.2) are attached to the base, within the interior space (1.1) of the table (1).

[0040] Preferably, the seat (2.3) is of a suitable size to be used and stored within the interior space (1.1) of the table (1).

[0041] In another preferred embodiment, the table (1), within the interior space (1.1), has an area for installing computer equipment, such as a PC or a console. Alternatively, the fold-out cover (1.2) has an over-cover that houses a screen which unfolds along with the over-cover. This arrangement provides a more immersive gaming experience and transforms the table (1) into a fully self-contained and functional piece of furniture, such as a driving simulator.Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any expert in the field may understand its scope and the advantages that derive from it, it being noted that, within its essentiality, it may be put into practice in other modes of embodiment that differ in detail from the one indicated as an example, and which will also achieve the protection sought provided that its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified.
