Detailed Description of the Invention

A storage system for installation in buildings, wherein the storage system of the invention is shown in Figures 1 to 8.

In Figure la and lb shows an example of an existing storage system 1 comprising at least a bottom surface 2 and a first raising / lowering mechanism. As can be seen, the system 1 is wall-mounted, with some brackets are attached to the wall, and wherein the cord drive makes it possible to raise the mats and second up from floor level to a position of the person freely hanging height. This showed storage system 1 has the disadvantage that there is a risk that the stored effects - here mats - may fall as a result of unstable suspension or due to external influences, the storage system, for example, is affected by the balls from the example game with footballs, and the stored effects that are on the bottom surface 2 may thus fall.

Figure 2 shows from the side a storage system 1 for installation in buildings, wherein the storage system comprises at least a bottom surface 2 and a first raise / lower mechanism 3, the system 1 further comprises a rail system 4 situated in a vertical plane which here is constituted by a wall wherein the grid 4 has at least a body 5 which is guided in the rail system 4 to the longitudinal axis, and wherein the bottom surface 2 further comprises coupling means 6 for coupling / engaging the rail system means 5, and wherein the raising / lowering mechanism 3 comprises the coupling means 7 (see Figure 7) to the interconnection / interference with the bottom surface 2 or the rail system bodies 5th

The up / down mechanism 3 is shown as a system comprising two profiles 18, which can be an advantage for the sake of a more equitable power transmission to the bottom surface 2 of the raise / lower, but a hoisting / lowering device 3 with a profile 18 can of course also used, the rail system 4 both controls and stabilizes the bottom surface 2 in the system first

The rail system 4 5 are coupled to the bottom surface of coupling means 6, and thus controlled the bottom surface 2 safe during lifting / lowering. Bottom surface of coupling means 6 are here shown as tubes, slidable tubes or telescopic tubes which can be, on the side or, as shown in Figure 6, bottom surface inside the cap 12.

By using the coupling means 6 as a telescopic tube or tubes which can be inserted into the bottom surface 2, fills the coupling means 6 does not much, when they are not in use, and they are not, and neither float or is, when not in use. By contrast, the coupling means 6 at all times where there is a need for them, namely in relation to the bottom surface 2.

Is the distance between the bottom surface two ends 17 and the rail system 4 is not particularly large, you can use ordinary pipes or rods that still can be moved and stored in the bottom surface 2, when not in use.

The up / down mechanism 3 can in a not shown embodiment, the lifting / lowering mechanism 3 is closer to or even built into the rail system 4, interconnect coupling means 7 with the rail system bodies 5th

The disclosed suspension system 4 which is situated in a vertical plane, as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 5 may be a rail system 4 located on each side of the bottom surface two ends 17. The distance 19 between the grid 4 and the bottom surface ends 17 need not be as great as shown in Figure 2, however, the distance 19 between the rail system 4 and the bottom surface ends 17 be larger than the items stored on the bottom surface.

One alternative not shown is the location of a rail system 4 between the bottom surface 2 and a wall - typically where the storage system 1 is mounted against a wall. In such cases, the situation is of course another, thus not take into account the length of the elements to be kept on the bottom surface 2 - at least not take into account that relate to the grid 4. Instead, the coupling means 6 are then positioned and oriented differently, and thus usually turned 90 degrees in relation to the Figures 2 to 6, the locations.

The rail system 4 may comprise several shining example 2 or 4, where the rails can be located in the same vertical plane or in two parallel situated vertical plane. The grid 4 may for example be similar to what is known from, for example ledhej seporte and which can easily be fitted between two rafters, columns, or walls in a sports hall.

In one embodiment there may be two sets of rails located in the same vertical plane, one guide means 4 may be applied to the inner solution, and the second guide means 4 may be applied to the outer solution.

In another embodiment there may be arranged more than one such track systems 4 on the outside of each other, either the same type or of different types. For example, port-used rails for the inner solution, while the top with the solution may be so-called "lift-up" bracket of the type known from, for example, kitchen doors -However in a somewhat larger configuration. Such a solution is shown as an example in Figure 8.

In a third embodiment can use a rail system 4 with switch track located in the same vertical plane as the rest of the rail system 4, but so that the inner solution runs one way, and the extreme solution runs the other way.

In Figure 2 and Figure 3, the bottom surface 2 as a plane with a first side 8 and a second side 9, wherein the at least one wheel 10 on the first side 8 and at least one holder or rack 11 of the other part 9.

In one embodiment, the bottom surface 10 a wheel, and it will then be able to act as a kind of wheelbarrow, if there is lifted up in the parts of the bottom surface that may be in contact with the floor / ground.

Two and three wheels 10 is of course also a possibility, but in a preferred embodiment, the bottom surface 2 and at least four wheels 10 so that it is enough to push and / or pull to move the bottom surface 2. More than four wheels, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, is of course also a possibility, and it may be a necessity depending on the stiffness of the bottom surface 2 and wheels 10 way to transport.

With holder or rack 11 made storage system 1 is very flexible in that it can be adapted to a wide range of needs, thus providing a wide range of storage options, whether there is earmarked bottom surfaces 2, which always used the same, and where there may are small special bracket, holes or other on the bottom surface 2 adapted to the stored effects. It could, for example, holes for the chair legs or more general bottom surfaces 2, the one-time used for one type of effects and a second time to another type of effects.

In Figure 4 and Figure 5 shows a storage system according to the invention respectively a top view and a perspective view in which a tire casing / cover cap 15 is seen to include a bottom surface 2.

As can be seen from Figure 6, the bottom surface 2 a top part 12 that can be secured to the bottom surface other part 9, in which the portion 12 surrounds an interior space, wherein the space is wholly or partly closed by the plate, perforated plate or wire mesh that forms a box - optionally with a lid. There is thus the opportunity to use the upper part to a wide variety of tools and effects again with great flexibility.

Additionally you can place funds on the inside of the cap 12 and the bottom surface 2 other 9 means for attachment of one or more tools, instruments or other effects. It may be fastening means in the form of Velcro, zipper assemblies, snap locking, individually or in combination with each other. It is preferred that the fastening means are distributed evenly throughout the inside of the upper portion 12 of the reasons of flexibility, so that there is optimum alternative positions of attachment.

Carrier / fixture 11 on the other part 9 of the bottom surface 2 or the bottom surface 2 top part 12 may further comprise at least one second coupling means 13 to the interconnections-ment / engagement with the rail system 4 means 5. This is for the sake of functionality, stability and safety. Bottom surface second coupling means 13 may also be pipes, displaceable tube or telescopic tube, which may be on the side or, as shown in figure 6, inside bottom surface upper section 12. Thus, the second coupling means is mounted as appropriate, and necessity, which can be done in a similar way as the other bottom surface 2 of the coupling means 6 and 13.

In Figure 6 wherein a portion of the first raise / lower mechanism 3 and a part of the rail system 4 is off, the bottom surface 16 visible coupling agent. This coupling means 16 are intended for engagement with the lifting / lowering mechanism 3, and as mentioned below can take on many alternative shapes.

In Figure 7 is shown an example of the coupling between the bottom surface coupling agent 16 and the lifting / sænkemekanismens coupling means 7 in Figure 6 is one of the bottom surface the coupling means 16 visible in one embodiment, a portion of the first raising / lowering mechanism 3 is omitted from the drawing . There can be used many different kinds of coupling means in the form of hooks, hasps, chins, click systems or snap systems.

The rail system's four bodies 5, as location wise indicated in Figure 6, may be sliding blocks or rollers or other lavfriktionskonstruktionselementer, which is conducive to storage system 1 steering and stability-enhancing design features. A slide block may have a length in the rail system 4 direction and a size of the rail system 4 section gives very little clearance between the slide block and the rail system 4, wherein the sliding block movement be r very stable. Another possibility is the use of rolls. The rolls may be single, but boogie-rolls / tandem rolls or better still a roller assembly in the form of a trolley with for instance two tandem rollers will, as with the sliding block make the movement of the grid 4 is very stable.

The grid 4 may be, or can be extended to be located in successive intersecting planes in which the intersecting line between the planes has a longitudinal axis that is perpendicular to the rail system 4 to the longitudinal axis, and wherein the grid 4 in the transition between the planes is curved. The curvature can in most cases be a circular arc of a given radius. With such a construction, the possibility the track system 4 thus enable the storage system 1 may be used alone to wall, the combination of the wall and the ceiling wall and the combination of the sub-floor, or the combination of wall, ceiling and below the floor.

The rail system 4 may possibly. made with switches, which can further increase the flexibility either from the beginning where the storage system 1 is mounted / installed or at a later time when the need / desire would make it interesting.

The possibilities for raising / lowering mechanism 3 includes (not shown) hydraulic and / or pneumatic powered lifting / lowering agents and / or a mechanical drive system, such as a wire drive.

A hydraulic-based actuator is more robust and able to exert a force which ensures that the total weight of the bottom surface 2 including effects can be raised and lowered with ease and without overloading the raising / lowering mechanism 3, and such an actuator may be Preferably, in the case of heavy loads.

The up / down mechanism 3 is controlled mainly via a control unit operated via a control panel possibly in the form of a remote control, such as a wireless device. The wireless device is for example a traditional remote control with buttons for raising and lowering the other appliances in the rooms / halls. Alternatively the control unit a smartphone, a tablet computer or similar portable device on which you installed a program that via a wireless connection, such as a wireless data network, mobile network, Internet, bluetooth or infrared connection, sends information to the control unit to raise - / lower bottom surface 2 to the desired position.

The storage system 1 may further, as shown in Figure 8, comprise a second raising / lowering mechanism 14 in the form of so-called "lift-up" bracket to raise / lower a bottom surface 2 to a second position on the outside and parallel to a first position. "Lift-up" bracket is known from among others the doors on buses trunk, doors, countertops and certain mikrobølgeovnsbeslag and many other things, the "lift-up" devices, preferably in a circular arc movement changes the gates mm Figure 8 is cirkelbuebevægelsen between two positions shown as a dashed circle.

As is apparent from Figures 2 to 5, the storage system 1 may further comprise at least one tire casing / cover cap 15, which may be in a more or less closed unit, which covers the bottom surface 2, and optionally used hold / stand upper section 11 or 12.

The cover box / cover cap 15 can be made of wire mesh, so you can see what is stored on the bottom surface 2 and thus used preventively against falling effects, or it can be closed opaque material such as plywood or equivalent, in addition to the preventive effect against falling effects can also be used as decorations in the form of paintings or advertisements.

If several bottom surfaces 2 of the same storage system 1 - as for instance shown in Figure 8 - to tire casing / cover jacket 15, of course, be of a size such that all bottom surfaces 2 may cover page thereof. In the case of multiple bottom surfaces 2 in a storage system 1, there are of course several options for the design of the tire casing / the cover 15, the storage system 1, using lift-up bracket, resulting in other solutions than the storage systems 1, wherein the bottom surfaces 2 are running at the same grid 4th

Dækkasserne / dækkappeme 15 may be closed at the top, thereby ensuring that the stored effects do not become dusty during storage, and thus not least achieved a solution that appears more tidy.
