Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine freitragende Spiellandschaft mit einem Rahmen, bestehend aus vertikal verlaufenden Pfosten, die über horizontale Balken lösbar miteinander in Verbindung stehen und die Balken in wenigstens zwei im Abstand zueinander verlaufenden Ebenen angeordnet sind, wobei die senkrecht zueinander verlaufenden Balken einer Ebene etwa entsprechend ihrer Dicke höhenversetzt sind und auf die Balken eine Plattform auflegbar ist.The invention relates to a cantilevered play landscape with a frame consisting of vertically extending posts which are releasably connected to one another via horizontal bars and the bars are arranged in at least two planes spaced apart from one another, the bars running perpendicular to one another approximately corresponding to their level Thickness are offset in height and a platform can be placed on the beams.

Es ist bekannt, Spiellandschaften sowohl im Freien als auch in geschlossenen Räumen einzusetzen. Im letzteren Fall, auf den die Erfindung überwiegend abzielt, ist ein entscheidender Vorteil, die Spiellandschaft freitragend auszubilden, um einerseits die Notwendigkeit der Befestigung an Wand und/oder Fußboden und/oder Decke überflüssig zu machen und andererseits ein nachträgliches Verschieben der gesamten Vorrichtung ohne größeren Arbeitsaufwand vornehmen zu können. Die im Inneren von Gebäuden eingesetzten Spiellandschaften bestehen häufig aus ein oder mehreren der Erwachsenenwelt nachempfundenen Räumen, die in ihrer Dimensionierung kindergerecht gewählt sind und einen für Erwachsene relativ schwer zugänglichen Rückzugsbereich schaffen. Eine grundsätzliche Verstärkung des Spielanreizes derartiger Spiellandschaften läßt sich dadurch erreichen, daß nachträgliche Um- und Anbauten ohne größere Schwierigkeiten vornehmbar sind. Hieraus resultiert des weiteren, daß eine konkrete Anpassung an die individuellen räumlichen Verhältnisse ohne weiteres möglich wird. Trotzdem muß der durch die hohe Beanspruchung erforderliche robuste und stabile Aufbau sichergestellt sein.
Eine Vorrichtung gattungsgemäßer Art ist aus der Zeitschrift "Schöner Wohnen" Heft 5, Mai 1978 durch die Abbildung auf Seite 28/29 bekannt geworden. Sie zeigt ein Verbinden und Festlegen der Balken über durchgreifende Schrauben, die aufgrund der relativen Verschwenkbarkeit zur Herstellung stabiler Verbindungen nicht in der Lage sind. Das Durchführen nachträglicher Änderungen, insbesondere das Anbringen oder Entfernen von Anbauten, die das Lösen der Schraubverbindungen erforderlich machen, gestaltet sich schwierig.
It is known to use game landscapes both outdoors and in closed rooms. In the latter case, which the invention is primarily aimed at, there is a decisive advantage in designing the play landscape to be self-supporting, on the one hand to make the need for attachment to the wall and / or floor and / or ceiling superfluous and on the other hand to subsequently move the entire device without any major changes To be able to carry out work. The play landscapes used inside buildings often consist of one or more rooms modeled on the adult world, the dimensions of which are chosen to be suitable for children and create a retreat area that is relatively difficult for adults to access. A fundamental strengthening of the incentive to play in such game landscapes can be achieved in that subsequent modifications and additions without major ones Difficulties are noticeable. This also means that a concrete adaptation to the individual spatial conditions is readily possible. Nevertheless, the robust and stable structure required by the high stress must be ensured.
A device of the generic type has become known from the magazine "Schöner Wohnen" Issue 5, May 1978 through the illustration on page 28/29. It shows a connection and fixing of the beams using penetrating screws, which due to the relative pivotability are not able to produce stable connections. The implementation of subsequent changes, in particular the attachment or removal of attachments that require the loosening of the screw connections, is difficult.

Hiervon ausgehend hat sich die Erfindung die Schaffung einer in Innenräumen verwendbaren freitragenden Spiellandschaft zur Aufgabe gemacht, die unter Beibehaltung eines stabilen Aufbaues einen leicht durchzuführenden Um- und Anbau gestattet.Proceeding from this, the invention has set itself the task of creating a cantilevered play landscape which can be used indoors and which, while maintaining a stable structure, permits easy conversion and addition.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß die Balken in in den Pfosten befindliche Nuten eingreifen, deren Tiefe geringer als die Breite der Balken ist, die Spiellandschaft als Anbau eine Treppe oder eine zu einer benachbarten Spiellandschaft führende Brücke aufweist, und die durch den Rahmen gebildeten Ausfachungen zumindest teilweise über lösbar befestigte Wandelemente verschlossen sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the bars engage in grooves in the posts, the depth of which is less than the width of the bars, the play landscape has an extension as a staircase or a bridge leading to an adjacent play landscape, and those formed by the frame Infill panels are at least partially closed via detachably fastened wall elements.

Die Forderung der freitragenden Eigenschaft wird erfüllt durch das Merkmal, die horizontal verlaufenden und die Pfosten miteinander verbindenden Balken in wenigstens zwei, im Abstand zueinander verlaufenden Ebenen anzuordnen. Hierdurch erzielt man eine hinreichende Abstützung und Stabilisierung des Rahmens gegen horizontal verlaufende und auf scherbeanspruchung gerichtete Kräfte. Eine diesbezügliche weitere Unterstützung wird dadurch erreicht, daß die Balken nicht auf dem Pfosten aufliegen sondern in entsprechend geformte Nuten zumindest teilweise eingreifen, wodurch man eine zusätzliche seitliche Führung erhält. Die Tiefe dieser Nut ist hierbei geringer als die Breite des Balkens gewählt, so daß eine Auflagekante entsteht, die zum Aufbringen einer Plattform eingesetzt werden kann. So lassen sich bei mehrgeschossigen spiellandschaften auf diese Weise der Zwischenboden der nächsten mittelbar darüber angeordneten Etage herstellen, es lassen sich Arbeits- und Schreibtischflächen, Auflagen für Sideboards odgl. erzeugen.The requirement of the self-supporting property is met by the feature of arranging the horizontally extending beams and the posts connecting one another in at least two planes spaced apart from one another. This provides sufficient support and stabilization of the frame against horizontal forces and shear forces. A further support in this regard is achieved in that the beams do not rest on the post but at least partially engage in correspondingly shaped grooves, which gives an additional lateral guide. The depth of this groove is chosen to be less than the width of the bar, so that a support edge is created which can be used to apply a platform. In this way, in the case of multi-storey play landscapes, the intermediate floor of the next floor above it can be created, work and desk surfaces, supports for sideboards or the like. produce.

Ein weiteres entscheidendes Kriterium ist, die senkrecht zueinander verlaufenden Balken einer Ebene geringfügig höhenmäßig gegeneinander zu versetzen. Aus räumlichen Gründen muß die Höhenverschiebung mindestens der Dicke der Balken, genau genommen der halben Dicke beider Balken in vertikaler Richtung gemessen, betragen und kann evtl. geringfügig darüberhinaus verschoben werden. Die beiden sich kreuzenden Balken berühren einander oder bilden einen schmalen zwischenspalt. Man vermeidet, daß sich die senkrecht zueinander verlaufenden Balken und die Pfosten in einem einzigen Punkt schneiden. Der hierdurch erreichbare Vorteil ist unter mehreren Aspekten entscheidend:
Im Hinblick auf die Herstellung vermeidet man die Verwirklichung vergleichsweise komplizierter baulicher Maßnahmen, die andernfalls unabdingbar wären, so z.B. die Anbringung von Nuten und Zapfen, metallischen Befestigungsstücken oder ähnlichem. Wichtig ist unter kinderpsychologischen Gesichtspunkten, daß die vorgeschlagene Verbindung für die Spielenden leicht zu erkennen und zu verstehen ist. Die bei Möbeln Erwachsener üblicherweise verwendeten Verbindungsmethoden sind großteils verdeckt und in ihrem Aufbau so kompliziert, daß Kinder überfordert sind. Die Verwendung metallischer Verbindungsteile soll vermieden werden.
Another decisive criterion is to offset the bars of a plane running perpendicular to one another in terms of their height. For spatial reasons, the height shift must be at least the thickness of the bars, strictly speaking half the thickness of both bars measured in the vertical direction, and can possibly be shifted slightly beyond this. The two crossing bars touch each other or form a narrow gap. You avoid that the perpendicular beams and the posts intersect at a single point. The advantage that can be achieved in this way is decisive in several respects:
With regard to the production, one avoids the implementation of comparatively complicated structural measures which would otherwise be indispensable, for example the installation of grooves and pins, metallic fastening pieces or the like. It is important from a child psychological point of view that the proposed connection is easy to recognize and understand for the players. The connection methods commonly used in adult furniture are largely hidden and so complex in their structure that children are overwhelmed. The use of metallic connecting parts should be avoided.

Der entscheidende Vorteil besteht in der konstruktiv einfachen Möglichkeit der Realisierung von Anund Umbauten, von Brücken, Treppen usw. Hierzu wird ein horizontal in Richtung auf den Anbau zu verlaufender Balken herausgenommen und durch einen längeren, wobei die Pfosten selbst und das übrige Gebäude keinerlei Veränderung und Bearbeitung bedarf. Es müssen keine zusätzlichen Nuten in die Pfosten eingebracht werden und die Spiellandschaft bleibt zumindest für die während des Umbaues zu stellenden Anforderungen hinreichend stabil. Aufgrund der Höhenversetzung lassen sich die zusätzlich anzubringenden Balken ohne weiteres und ohne Beeinflussung der senkrecht hierzu verlaufenden Balken befestigen.The decisive advantage lies in the structurally simple possibility of realizing additions and conversions, bridges, stairs, etc. For this purpose, a bar that runs horizontally in the direction of the extension is removed and a longer one, whereby the posts themselves and the rest of the building do not change anything Processing required. No additional grooves need to be made in the posts and the play landscape remains at least sufficiently stable for the requirements to be met during the remodeling. Due to the height offset, the additional beams to be attached can be attached easily and without influencing the beams running perpendicularly to them.

Als Resultat erhält man die Möglichkeit des nachträglichen An- und Umbaues ohne die Basiskonstruktion teilweise oder vollständig zerlegen und erneut zusammenbauen zu müssen. Bei geringstem Arbeitsaufwand läßt sich die Spiellandschaft universell ausund umbauen und entsprechend einsetzen. Die auf diese Weise erreichbaren endgültigen Formen sind im Hinblick auf die Vielfalt der Möglichkeiten nahezu unbegrenzt.The result is the possibility of retrofitting and conversion without having to partially or completely disassemble and reassemble. With the least amount of work, the play landscape can be universally expanded and converted and used accordingly. The final forms that can be achieved in this way are almost unlimited in terms of the variety of possibilities.

Schließlich wird noch vorgesehen, die durch den Rahmen gebildeten Ausfachungen zumindest teilweise mit lösbar befestigten Wandelementen zu. Der Begriff "teilweise" ist im Sinne der Erfindung mehrdeutig auszulegen, denn er besagt zum einen, daß eine einzelne bestimmte Ausfachung nicht vollständig verschlossen sein muß und zum anderen unabhängig davon, daß nicht jede Ausfachung sondern nur einzelne bestimmte mit Wandelementen versehen sind. Die lösbare Befestigung erlaubt ein nachträgliches Austauschen einzelner Wandelemente.Finally, it is also provided that the infills formed by the frame are at least partially closed with detachably fastened wall elements. The term "partially" is to be interpreted ambiguously in the sense of the invention, because on the one hand it means that a single certain infill does not have to be completely closed and on the other hand regardless of the fact that not every infill but only certain individual ones are provided with wall elements. The detachable fastening allows individual wall elements to be replaced later.

In einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung wird vorgesehen, die im Pfosten befindliche und der Aufnahme des Balkens dienende Nut so zu bemessen, daß im fertig montierten Zustand der Balken etwa zur Hälfte seines Durch messers über den Pfosten übersteht und hierdurch die Auflagefläche für die Plattform bildet. Diese Dimensionierung stellt einen günstigen Kompromiß dar einerseits in dem Bestreben eine möglichst große Auflagefläche für die Plattform zu bilden und andererseits die ausgeübten Kräfte über die Balken auf den Pfosten zu übertragen, also die Balken in vertikaler Richtung abzustützen.In an expedient embodiment, it is provided that the groove located in the post and serving to receive the beam is dimensioned such that in the fully assembled state the beam protrudes about half its diameter over the post and thereby forms the bearing surface for the platform. This dimensioning represents a favorable compromise on the one hand in the endeavor to form the largest possible contact surface for the platform and on the other hand to transmit the forces exerted via the beams to the post, that is to say to support the beams in the vertical direction.

Grundsätzlich steht im Rahmen der Erfindung frei, welche Art von Wandelementen in die durch den Rahmen gebildeten Ausfachungen eingesetzt werden. Bevorzugt ist hier jedoch die Verwendung dreifach verleimter Massivholzplatten, bei denen der Faserverlauf der benachbarten Einzelplatten senkrecht zueinander orientiert ist. Dies bietet den Vorteil, daß die Massivholzplatte in ihrer Gesamtheit neutrales Verhalten zeigt, keine Wellen ausbildet, da sich die mittlere Platte anders verhält als die beiden äußeren und hierdurch eine Kompensation erzeugt wird. Des weiteren könnte das Wandelement eine Plexiglasplatte oder ein Geländer sein, welches in an sich bekannter Weise aus einer Brüstung und darunter befindlichen, vertikal verlaufenden Stäben besteht.In principle, the type of wall elements that are used in the infills formed by the frame is free within the scope of the invention. However, the use of triple-glued solid wood panels is preferred here, in which the grain of the adjacent individual panels is oriented perpendicular to one another. This offers the advantage that the solid wood panel shows neutral behavior in its entirety, does not form any waves, since the central panel behaves differently from the two outer panels and thus a compensation is generated. Furthermore, the wall element could be a plexiglass plate or a railing which, in a manner known per se, consists of a parapet and vertical bars located underneath.

Im Hinblick auf die Befestigung der Wandelemente wird die Verwendung einer vorzugsweise an der Innenseite anzuordnenden Eckleiste vorgeschlagen, welche einerseits mit dem Wandelement und andererseits mit dem vertikal verlaufenden Pfosten verschraubt wird. Der Vorteil besteht in einem Minimum an Verletzungsgefahr sowie der nur geringfügigen Ausbildung von Schmutzkanten.With regard to the fastening of the wall elements, the use of a corner strip, which is preferably to be arranged on the inside, is proposed, which is screwed on the one hand to the wall element and on the other hand to the vertically extending post. The advantage is a minimum risk of injury and the minimal formation of dirty edges.

Zur Befestigung der Balken an den Pfosten ist bevorzugt, zwei diagonal angeordnete Schrauben einzusetzen. Diese dienen als Orientierungshilfe und als Sicherung gegen Falscheinbau während der montage, da bei Falschpositionierung keine Deckungsgleichheit der Schraubenlöcher in Balken und Pfosten erreicht wird.It is preferable to use two diagonally arranged screws to attach the beams to the posts. These serve as a guide and as a safeguard against incorrect installation during assembly, since the screw holes in the beams and posts cannot be aligned if they are positioned incorrectly.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Querschnitt der Balken quadratisch gewählt. Dann ist der Einbau der Balken sowie Treppe, Leiter und anderen Bauteilen bei ein- und denselben Elementen sowohl auf der rechten als auch linken Seite möglich. Dies ergibt erhebliche Vereinfachungen bei der Produktion, da eine Unterscheidung zwischen rechter und linker Seite überflüssig wird.In a preferred embodiment, the cross section of the bars is chosen to be square. Then the beams, stairs, ladder and other components can be installed with the same elements on both the right and left side. This results in considerable simplifications in production, since a distinction between the right and left side is superfluous.

Im Hinblick auf die konkrete Ausgestaltung der Spiellandschaft besteht eine Vielfalt an Möglichkeiten. Konkret kann hierunter ein aus zwei Geschossen bestehendes Haus mit einer als Zugang zur ersten Etage dienenden Leiter oder Treppe verstanden werden.With regard to the specific design of the game landscape, there are a variety of options. Specifically, this can be understood as a two-storey house with a ladder or staircase serving as access to the first floor.

Zur Vereinfachung der Produktion läßt sich der Grundgedanke des Baukastenprinzipes auch bei den erfindungsgemäßen Spiellandschaften insoweit verwirklichen als die Ausfachungen gleichgroß gewählt sind. Die nachträgliche Auswahl und ein Vertauschen der einzelnen Elemente untereinander ist dann ohne Probleme möglich. Durch Normieren der Abmessungen erhält man ein System gleichgroßer Einzelbausteine.To simplify production, the basic idea of the modular principle can also be implemented in the game landscapes according to the invention insofar as the infills are chosen to be of the same size. The subsequent selection and an exchange of the individual elements among each other is then possible without problems. By normalizing the dimensions, you get a system of individual blocks of the same size.

Schließlich ist noch vorgesehen, als Material für die Spiellandschaft Holz einzusetzen.Finally, it is planned to use wood as the material for the play landscape.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung lassen sich dem nachfolgenden Beschreibungsteil entnehmen, in dem anhand der Zeichnung ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung näher erläutert wird. Sie zeigt in Vorderansicht eine aus einem zweigeschossigen Haus bestehende Spiellandschaft mit einer auf der linken Seite angeordneten Treppe in prinzipeinhafter Darstellung.Further details, features and advantages of the invention can be found in the following description, in which an embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. It shows a front view of a game landscape consisting of a two-storey house with a staircase arranged on the left in a basic representation.

Der in der Zeichnung wiedergegebene Rahmen besteht an der Frontseite aus vier vertikal verlaufenden Pfosten 1, die sich über die gesamte Höhe des Bauwerkes erstrecken. Das untere Ende der Pfosten 1 steht unmittelbar auf dem Boden auf. Eine Verbindung untereinander besteht nicht, um eine nachträgliche Verkürzung und Reduzierung der Gesamthöhe zur Anpassung an die örtlichen Gegebenheiten zu erlauben.The frame shown in the drawing consists of four vertically extending posts 1 on the front, which extend over the entire height of the building. The lower end of the post 1 stands directly on the floor. There is no connection between them to allow a subsequent shortening and reduction of the total height to adapt to the local conditions.

Die Pfosten 1 stehen in zwei Ebenen 2,3 über horizontal verlaufende Balken miteinander in Verbindung, die einerseits entweder in der Zeichenebene (Bezugsziffer 4) oder senkrecht hierzu (Bezugsziffer 5) verlaufen. In ihrer Gesamtheit bilden die senkrecht zueinander verlaufenden Balken die Ebenen 2,3. Die Balken 4,5 sind gegeneinander höhenversetzt angebracht, liegen jedoch aneinander an. Gut zu erkennen ist an der Stirnseite der Balken 5, daß diese in eine Nut des Pfostens 1 etwa zur Hälfte eingreifen und entsprechend überstehen. Die in der Ebene 2 verlaufenden Balken 5 bilden auf diese Weise eine Auflagefläche für eine als Boden für die zweite Etage dienende Plattform 6. Die Pfosten 1 und Balken 4 bilden Ausfachungen 7, die im Falle der oberen Etagen über Geländer 8 und im Falle der unteren Etage teilweise über Massivholzplatten 9 verschlossen sind.The posts 1 are connected to one another in two planes 2, 3 via horizontally running bars, which run either on the drawing plane (reference number 4) or perpendicularly to this (reference number 5). In their entirety, the bars running perpendicular to one another form planes 2, 3. The bars 4,5 are offset in height from each other, but are in contact with each other. It can be clearly seen on the end face of the beam 5 that this in engage about half of a groove of the post 1 and protrude accordingly. The bars 5 running in the level 2 thus form a support surface for a platform 6 serving as the floor for the second floor. The posts 1 and bars 4 form infills 7, which in the case of the upper floors have railings 8 and in the case of the lower Floor are partially closed over solid wood panels 9.

An der linken Seite ist an den Rahmen angrenzend eine Treppe 10 üblichen Aufbaues befestight, die der Begehung der ersten Etage dient. Nicht zu erkennen ist, daß der in der Ebene 2 an der rückwärtigen Seite des Rahmens in der Zeichenebene verlaufende Balken verlängert ist, auf den die Treppe 10 abgestützt wurde. Der Anbau kann deshalb ohne Probleme nachträglich erfolgen, worin ein wesentlicher Vorzug der vorgeschlagenen Erfindung besteht.On the left side, a staircase 10 of conventional construction is attached to the frame, which is used to access the first floor. It cannot be seen that the bar extending in level 2 on the rear side of the frame in the drawing plane is extended, on which the staircase 10 was supported. The cultivation can therefore be carried out without problems, which is an essential advantage of the proposed invention.

Es bleibt darauf hinzuweisen, daß sich die in den Patentansprüchen gekennzeichnete Erfindung nicht auf die gezeigte Konstruktion beschränkt sondern in einer Vielzahl völlig anders aufgebauter Spiellandschaften ebenfalls realisiert und umgesetzt werden kann.It should be pointed out that the invention characterized in the claims is not limited to the construction shown but can also be implemented and implemented in a large number of completely different game landscapes.

Im Ergebnis erhält man freitragende, stabile, leicht umzubauende und modifizierbare Konstruktionen.The result is self-supporting, stable, easily convertible and modifiable constructions.
