Description

MULTIFUNKTIONSMOBEL MULTIFUNKTIONSMOBEL
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Multifiinktionsmöbel gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a multi-functional piece of furniture according to the preamble of claim 1.
Aus der DE 8320735 Ul, von der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ausgegangen wird, ist ein Wandschrankbett bekannt, dessen mit einer Schwenkachse versehener Betteinsatz aus zwei ineinander schiebbaren Teilen besteht, wobei Seitenholme des einen Teils an Seitenholmen des anderen Teils geführt sind. Weiter ist ein zweiteiliges Polster vorgesehen, dessen beide Teile schwenkbar miteinander verbunden sind und dessen einer Teil mit dem ausziehbaren Teil des Betteinsatzes verbunden ist. Auf diese Weise kann das Wandschrankbett im nicht voll ausgefahrenen Zustand als Sitzmöbel verwendet werden.From DE 8320735 Ul, from which it is assumed in the preamble of claim 1, a wall unit bed is known, the bed insert of which is provided with a pivot axis and consists of two parts which can be pushed into one another, side rails of one part being guided on side rails of the other part. Furthermore, a two-part cushion is provided, the two parts of which are pivotally connected to one another and the one part of which is connected to the pull-out part of the bed insert. In this way, the wall bed can be used as seating furniture when not fully extended.
Aus der DE 99966 A ist ein Betttisch bekannt, der auf vier Klappbeinen steht. Der Bettrahmen ist aufklappbar, wobei ein Endteil eines Rahmenteils mit einer Tischplatte fest verbunden ist. Die Tischplatte stößt beim Aufklappen mit einer Kante gegen das Tischgestell, schiebt sich dabei nach außen und nimmt den mit ihr verbundenen Teil mit, wodurch sich die Bettfläche vergrößert. Ein Vorteil dieser Konstruktion liegt darin, dass im zusammengeklappten Zustand des Bettes die Tischplatte den Tischrahmen bzw. das zusammengeklappte Bettgestell überragt, sodass für eine an dem Tisch arbeitende Person ein gewisses Maß an Fuß- bzw. Beinraum geschaffen ist. Der Betttisch ist in seinem Aufbau verhältnismäßig kompliziert und nicht zum Einklappen in einen Schrank oder ein Gestell vorgesehen.From DE 99966 A a bed table is known, which stands on four folding legs. The bed frame can be opened, an end part of a frame part being firmly connected to a table top. When opening the table top, it bumps against the table frame with an edge, pushing itself outwards and taking the part connected to it, which increases the bed area. An advantage of this construction is that when the bed is folded, the table top protrudes beyond the table frame or the folded bed frame, so that a certain amount of foot or leg space is created for a person working on the table. The structure of the bed table is relatively complicated and is not intended to be folded into a cupboard or frame.

Fig. 6 eine Aufsicht auf das Multifunktionsmöbel im Zustand der Fig. 5.6 is a plan view of the multifunctional furniture in the state of FIG. 5.
Gemäß Fig. 1 weist das erfindungsgemäße Multifunktionsmöbel zwei auf einem Boden 8 stehende, vorzugsweise einander gleiche seitliche Rahmenteile 10 (in Fig. 1 nur eines sichtbar) auf, die über parallel zu einer Wand 12 verlaufende Streben 14 zu einem Gestell starr miteinander verbunden sind. Jedes Rahmenteil 10 weist eine zusätzliche, seine senkrechten Schenkel miteinander verbindende Strebe 16 auf, an der ein Kopfrahmen 18 eines Klappbettes schwenkbar gelagert ist. Wie dargestellt, weisen die Seitenteile des Kopfrahmens 18 vorzugsweise einen nach oben vorstehenden Vorsprung auf, im Bereich von dessen höchster Stelle je ein Lager bzw. Scharnier 20 angeordnet ist, dessen Achse durch ein Kreuz gekennzeichnet ist. Der Kopfrahmen 18 ist im Uhrzeigersinn nicht über die dargestellte Stellung hinaus um die Achse des Scharniers 20 schwenkbar, da er auf der Strebe 14j aufliegt, die einen Anschlag für den Kopfrahmen 18 bildet.1, the multifunctional furniture according to the invention has two side frame parts 10 (preferably only one visible in FIG. 1) standing on a floor 8, which are preferably identical to one another and which are rigidly connected to one another via struts 14 running parallel to a wall 12 to form a frame. Each frame part 10 has an additional strut 16 connecting its vertical legs to one another, on which a head frame 18 of a folding bed is pivotably mounted. As shown, the side parts of the head frame 18 preferably have an upwardly projecting projection, in the region of the highest point of which a bearing or hinge 20 is arranged, the axis of which is identified by a cross. The head frame 18 cannot be pivoted clockwise beyond the position shown about the axis of the hinge 20, since it rests on the strut 14j which forms a stop for the head frame 18.
Mit dem Kopfrahmen 18 ist ein Fußrahmen 22 über Scharniere 24 schwenkbar verbunden, die den Kopfrahmen 18 und den Fußrahmen 22 jeweils in einem Bereich oben von zueinander passenden Vorsprüngen verbunden, die an den seitlichen Rahmenteilen des Kopfrahmens bzw. Fußrahmens ausgebildet sind.With the head frame 18, a foot frame 22 is pivotally connected via hinges 24, which each connect the head frame 18 and the foot frame 22 in a region at the top of matching projections which are formed on the side frame parts of the head frame or foot frame.
Der Fußrahmen 22 ist in seinem voll ausgeklappten Zustand dargestellt, in dem er sich über im dargestellten Beispiel bogenförmige Abstützungen 26 auf dem Boden 8 abstützt. An der Unterseite des Fußrahmens 22 ist eine Tischplatte 28 starr angebracht, die den gemäß Fig. 1 rechten Endbereich des Kopfrahmens 18 überlappt.The foot frame 22 is shown in its fully unfolded state, in which it is supported on the floor 8 via arched supports 26 in the example shown. On the underside of the foot frame 22, a table top 28 is rigidly attached, which overlaps the right end region of the head frame 18 according to FIG. 1.
Die Böden des Kopfrahmens 18 und Fußrahmens 22 sind vorzugsweise durch formverleimtes, elastisch nachgiebiges Sperrholz gebildet, wie es als Matratzenauflage für Betten gebräuchlich ist. In dem Kopfrahmen 18 und Fußrahmen 22 ist jeweils eine Matratze (nicht dargestellt) aufgenommen, sodass im dargestellten Zustand der Fig. 1 ein in Fig. 2 sichtbares Doppelbett mit großer Liegefläche gebildet ist. Die Matratzenteile sind beispielsweise über Klettbänder an dem jeweiligen Boden befestigt und in ihrer Dicke kleiner als der Abstand des Scharniers 24 vom Boden der Rahmenteile. Auf diese Weise können ein Deckbett 30 und Kissen 32 in dem Bett verbleiben, wenn dessen Fußrahmen 22 um die Achse der Scharniere 24 umgeklappt wird und die Enden der Tischplatte 28 dabei die Halbkreise a (Schwenken um 180° Grad) beschreiben und die Tischplatte 28 in die gestrichelt eingezeichnete Lage bewegt wird. Der Fußrahmen 22 liegt dann vorzugsweise auf dem Kopfrahmen 18 auf, sodass die Tischplatte 28 ortsfest gehalten ist. Wie weiter aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, ist oben auf dem aus den Rahmenteilen 10 und den Streben 14 zusammengesetzten Gestell der Rahmen 36 eines weiteren Bettes 38 befestigt.The bottoms of the head frame 18 and foot frame 22 are preferably formed by form-glued, elastically flexible plywood, as is customary as a mattress topper for beds. A mattress (not shown) is accommodated in each of the head frame 18 and foot frame 22, so that in the state shown in FIG. 1 a double bed is visible in FIG. 2 with a large lying surface. The mattress parts are fastened to the respective floor, for example by means of Velcro strips, and their thickness is smaller than the distance of the hinge 24 from the floor of the frame parts. In this way, a comforter 30 and pillow 32 can remain in the bed if its foot frame 22 is folded over the axis of the hinges 24 and the ends of the table top 28 describe the semicircles a (pivoting through 180 °) and the table top 28 in the position shown in dashed lines is moved. The foot frame 22 then preferably lies on the head frame 18, so that the table top 28 is held stationary. As can further be seen from FIG. 1, the frame 36 of a further bed 38 is fastened on top of the frame composed of the frame parts 10 and the struts 14.
Die Breite des insgesamt mit 40 bezeichneten Klappbettes ist im Allgemeinen kleiner als die Länge des weiteren Bettes 38, sodass das weitere Bett 38 seitlich (gemäß Fig. 2) über das Klappbett 40 hinausragt. In dem das Klappbett 40 überragenden Bereich des weiteren Bettes 38 ist eine in Fig. 1 nicht dargestellte Leiter 42 angeordnet, über die das weitere Bett zugänglich ist. Durch entsprechende Verlängerung des Gestells 34 oder Ausbildung des Rahmens 36 des weiteren Bettes kann in dem überlappenden Bereich ein erforderlichenfalls verschlossener Aufbewahrungsraum geschaffen werden. In diesem Fall wird die Leiter 42 selbst vorteilhafterweise um eine senkrechte Achse im Sinne des Doppelpfeils (Fig. 2) schwenkbar angebracht oder in eine schwenkbare Türe integriert. Die Schwenkachse kann je nach Zweckmäßigkeit linksseitig oder rechtsseitig sein.The width of the folding bed, generally designated 40, is generally smaller than the length of the further bed 38, so that the further bed 38 projects laterally (according to FIG. 2) over the folding bed 40. In the area of the further bed 38 which projects beyond the folding bed 40, a ladder 42 (not shown in FIG. 1) is arranged, via which the further bed is accessible. By appropriately extending the frame 34 or designing the frame 36 of the further bed, a closed storage space, if necessary, can be created in the overlapping area. In this case, the conductor 42 itself is advantageously pivotally mounted about a vertical axis in the sense of the double arrow (FIG. 2) or integrated into a pivotable door. The swivel axis can be on the left or right, depending on the expediency.
Fig. 3 zeigt eine Ansicht ähnlich der Fig. 1, jedoch mit zusammengeklapptem, d. h. dem Fußrahmen 22 um 180° Grad in Gegenuhrzeigerrichtung verschwenktem Klappbett 40. Wie ersichtlich bildet die Unterseite der Tischplatte 28 gemäß Fig. 1 nunmehr die Oberseite eines Tisches, der, wie durch den eingezeichneten Stuhl angedeutet, bequem benutzbar ist, da die Knie unter dem über den Kopfrahmen und Fußrahmen hinausstehenden Bereich der Tischplatte 28 angeordnet werden können und für die Füße Platz unterhalb des Kopfrahmens 18 ist. Das Gestell 34 ist oberhalb der Tischplatte 28 vorteilhafterweise mit einem Fach 44 versehen, in dem Utensilien, beispielsweise Schreibutensilien usw., untergebracht werden können. Wie in Fig. 3 weiter ersichtlich, bilden die Abstützungen 26 Griffe, mit denen die Tischplatte 28 mit dem Fußrahmen 22 bequem verschwenkt werden kann.Fig. 3 shows a view similar to Fig. 1, but with the folded, i.e. H. the foot frame 22 by 180 ° in the counterclockwise pivoted folding bed 40. As can be seen, the underside of the table top 28 according to FIG. 1 now forms the top of a table which, as indicated by the chair shown, is convenient to use, since the knees under the over the head frame and foot frame projecting area of the table top 28 can be arranged and there is space for the feet below the head frame 18. The frame 34 is advantageously provided above the table top 28 with a compartment 44 in which utensils, for example writing utensils, etc., can be accommodated. As can also be seen in FIG. 3, the supports 26 form handles with which the table top 28 can be pivoted comfortably with the foot frame 22.
Wie aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich, wird mit dem zusammengeklappten Klappbett ein Tisch geschaffen, dessen Tischplatte 28 einen stabilen und bequemen Arbeitsplatz für zwei Personen bildet. Es versteht sich, dass im Bereich des oder der Fächer oder unter dem weiteren Bett 38 eine Lichtquelle installiert werden kann, die die Arbeitsplatte 28 beleuchtet.As can be seen from FIG. 4, a table is created with the folded folding bed, the table top 28 of which forms a stable and comfortable workplace for two people. It goes without saying that a light source can be installed in the area of the compartments or under the additional bed 38, which illuminates the worktop 28.
Fig. 5 zeigt das erfindungsgemäße Multifunktionsmöbel im vollständig eingeklappten Zustand des Doppelbettes 40 bzw. im eingeklappten Zustand der Arbeitsplatte 28. Dazu wird die Tischanordnung gemäß Fig. 3 um den Kreisbogen b um etwa 90° Grad in Gegenuhrzeigerrichtung verschwenkt, wobei die Tischplatte 28 in Anlage an die Strebe 142 des Gestells 34 kommt. Wie ersichtlich, ist das Gestell 34 in seinen Abmessungen senkrecht zur Wand 12 kleiner als die Breite des weiteren Bettes 38, sodass die Abstützung 26 das Gestell überragt und zur Wand 12 hin Platz hat. Das Gestell 34 kann eine Rastvorrichtung aufweisen, in die das gemäß Fig. 5 obere Ende der Tischplatte 28 elastisch einrastet, damit das vollständig zusammengeklappte Bett in der Stellung gemäß Fig. 5 gehalten wird. Die Dimensionierung ist vorteilhafterweise derart, dass das obere Ende der Tischplatte 28 (Fig. 5) nahe an der Unterseite des weiteren Bettes 38 ist, damit Raumhöhen effizient genutzt werden können und über dem weiteren Bett ausreichend Freiraum ist. Der Rahmen des weiteren Bettes 38 kann mit einem Vorhang, Rollo o. ä versehen sein, sodass der Raum, in dem das vollständig zusammengeklappte Bett aufgenommen ist, verschlossen werden kann.5 shows the multifunctional furniture according to the invention in the fully folded-in state of the double bed 40 or in the folded-in state of the worktop 28 3 is pivoted about the circular arc b by approximately 90 ° in a counterclockwise direction, the table top 28 coming into contact with the strut 14 2 of the frame 34. As can be seen, the dimensions of the frame 34 perpendicular to the wall 12 are smaller than the width of the further bed 38, so that the support 26 projects beyond the frame and has space towards the wall 12. The frame 34 can have a latching device, into which the upper end of the table top 28 according to FIG. 5 resiliently latches, so that the completely folded bed is held in the position according to FIG. 5. The dimensioning is advantageously such that the upper end of the table top 28 (FIG. 5) is close to the underside of the further bed 38 so that room heights can be used efficiently and there is sufficient space above the further bed. The frame of the further bed 38 can be provided with a curtain, roller blind or the like, so that the space in which the completely folded bed is accommodated can be closed.
Fig. 6 zeigt eine Aufsicht auf das weitere Bett 38 mit dem zugehörigen Bettzeug.6 shows a top view of the further bed 38 with the associated bedding.
Das beschriebene Multifunktionsmöbel kann in vielfältiger Weise ergänzt und abgeändert werden.The multifunctional furniture described can be supplemented and modified in a variety of ways.
Beispielsweise ist es vorteilhaft, das Verschwenken des Fußrahmens 22 aus der Stellung gemäß Fig. 1 in die Stellung gemäß Fig. 3 zunächst zu unterstützen und dann abzubremsen und bei einem Verschwenken aus der Stellung gemäß Fig. 3 in die Stellung gemäß Fig. 1 ebenfalls zunächst zu unterstützen und dann abzubremsen. Dies wird beispielsweise mit einer Gestaltung des Scharniers 24 gemäß Fig. 7 erzielt. Um die Achse des Scharniers 24 herum ist eine Torsionsfeder 46 angeordnet, deren gemäß Fig. 7 linker Schenkel sich im Kopfrahmen 18 und deren rechter Schenkel sich im Fußrahmen 22 abstützt. Die unverspannte bzw. Ruhestellung der Torsionsfeder 46 ist derart, dass sie bei gegenüber derFor example, it is advantageous to first support and then brake the pivoting of the foot frame 22 from the position shown in FIG. 1 to the position shown in FIG. 3, and also to slow it down when pivoting from the position shown in FIG. 3 to the position shown in FIG. 1 to support and then slow down. This is achieved, for example, by designing the hinge 24 according to FIG. 7. A torsion spring 46 is arranged around the axis of the hinge 24, the left leg of which is supported in the head frame 18 and the right leg is supported in the foot frame 22 as shown in FIG. 7. The unstressed or rest position of the torsion spring 46 is such that it is opposite to the
Fig. 7 um 90° Grad in Gegenuhrzeigerrichtung verschwenktem Fußrahmen eingenommen wird. Damit wird erreicht, dass die Torsionsfeder 46 ein Hochschwenken des FußrahmensFig. 7 is taken by 90 ° degrees counterclockwise pivoted foot frame. This ensures that the torsion spring 46 swivels up the foot frame
22 aus der Stellung gemäß Fig. 1 in dessen senkrechte Stellung unterstützt und dann ein weiteres Schwenken in die Stellung gemäß Fig. 3 bremst. Umgekehrt unterstützt die22 supported from the position shown in FIG. 1 in its vertical position and then brakes a further pivoting into the position shown in FIG. 3. Conversely, the
Torsionsfeder 24 zunächst ein Schwenken des Fußrahmens 22 aus der Stellung gemäß Fig. 3 in die senkrechte Stellung der Tischplatte und bremst dann ein weiteres Verschwenken in die Stellung gemäß Fig. 1. Auf diese Weise wird die Handhabbarkeit des erfmdungsgemäßen Multifunktionsmöbels erheblich erleichtert, wobei die Tischplatte bequem durch Ergreifen der Abstützung 26 verschwenkt werden kann. Die Schwenkunterstützung kann auch mittels Torsionsstäben oder anderer federnder Anordnungen erzielt werden.Torsion spring 24 first pivots the foot frame 22 from the position shown in FIG. 3 in the vertical position of the table top and then brakes a further pivoting in the Position in accordance with FIG. 1. In this way, the manageability of the multifunctional furniture according to the invention is considerably facilitated, the table top being able to be pivoted easily by gripping the support 26. The pivot support can also be achieved by means of torsion bars or other resilient arrangements.
Auch die Scharniere 20 können derart ausgebildet sein, dass sie ein Verschwenken des Klappbettes in die Stellung gemäß Fig. 5 unterstützen und ein Ausschwenken in die Stellung gemäß Fig. 3 bremsen.The hinges 20 can also be designed such that they support pivoting of the folding bed into the position according to FIG. 5 and brake pivoting out into the position according to FIG. 3.
Die Tischplatte 28 kann an dem Fußrahmen 22 derart befestigt werden, dass ihr Abstand von dem Fußrahmen verstellbar ist. Die Abstützungen 26 können derart ausgebildet sein, dass sie zusätzlich zu ihrer Funktion als Handgriffe Randleisten der Tischplatte bilden. Auch das wandseitige Ende (Fig. 3) der Tischplatte 28 kann mit einer Randleiste versehen sein.The table top 28 can be attached to the foot frame 22 such that its distance from the foot frame is adjustable. The supports 26 can be designed such that, in addition to their function as handles, they form edge strips of the table top. The wall-side end (FIG. 3) of the table top 28 can also be provided with an edge strip.
Für die Gestaltung der Seitenteile des Kopfrahmens und Fußrahmens sowie des Gestells gibt es vielfältige Möglichkeiten, wobei die erläuterten kinematischen Bedingungen erhalten bleiben müssen.There are various possibilities for the design of the side parts of the head frame and foot frame as well as of the frame, while the kinematic conditions explained must be maintained.
Das Gestell 34 kann beispielsweise ein in einfacher Weise aus verschiedenen Rohrstücken zusammenbaubares Gestell sein. Der Rahmen 36 des weiteren Bettes kann mit dem RahmenThe frame 34 can be, for example, a frame that can be assembled in a simple manner from various pieces of pipe.
