Description

The invention relates to a protection system according to claim 1.

In parking garages or parking garages there are necessary concrete pillars or posts that extend from floor to ceiling and support the ceiling so that it does not collapse. However, these pillars or posts are very cumbersome when parking. Not infrequently you drive past a post so that a scratch on the vehicle remains. Even when you open the vehicle doors can be encountered with the door to a concrete post, which also causes damage to the vehicle. In principle, damage to the paws can also remain.

The invention has for its object to provide a protection system with which damage to the vehicle or on the post when parking is effectively prevented. In particular, the system should be designed to meet fire safety requirements in multi-storey car parks.

This object is achieved by a protective system for covering parking poles or parking posts in garages or multi-storey car parks with a cushioning element which is at least partially windable around the parking pillars or parking pole and with a film element which is arranged around the cushioning element so that it forms an outer surface of the Protection system forms.

The combination of cushion and film according to the invention has several independent advantages.

One advantage is that the pad can be fastened to the post in a simple and secure manner by the wrapped film, without the need for an adhesive. Adhesives are disadvantageous in two respects. Firstly, the removal of the pad after bonding is difficult. On the other hand, the adhesive burns very well in case of fire and causes toxic fumes, which deteriorates the fire protection.

– nicht brennbare Baustoffe ohne organische Bestandteile (z. B. Sand, Kies usw.)

A2

– nicht brennbare Baustoffe mit organischen Bestandteilen (z. B. Gipskartonplatten)

B1

– schwerentflammbare Stoffe,

– normal entflammbare Stoffe, und

B3

– leichtentflammbare Stoffe.

A very important advantage of the invention is that with this combination of upholstery and film a very good fire protection is possible. This can be explained by the fact that the coarse-pored padding material or the air present in the padding is not located directly on the surface of the protection system. A flame touches the system on the outside film. However, the film has no porous structure or has no air pores, but forms a closed surface. The surface of the film is free of pores. Foils have a much higher fire protection class or a different fire behavior than, for example, foam cushions. Films with a high fire protection class or, more precisely, flammability class or fire resistance are relatively inexpensive. Although there are foam pads with high fire protection class. These are expensive. Expensive foam pads with a high "fire protection class" must therefore not be used by the invention. The term "fire protection class" or "flammability class" mentioned here is in connection with the fire behavior according to a standard z. B. the German standard DIN 4102 part 1 to see. Building materials are subdivided according to their combustibility. This mean according to this standard z. B .:

A1

- non-combustible building materials without organic components (eg sand, gravel etc.)

A2

- non-combustible building materials with organic components (eg plasterboard)

B1

- flame retardant substances,

B2

- normally flammable substances, and

B3

- easily inflammable fabrics.

Analog are the European standards DIN EN 13501-1 . 13501-2 . E DIN EN 1634-1 apply.

The above-mentioned "class" is determined by a fire test.

Another advantage of the invention is that the smooth surface of the film protects the vehicle and the system from damage. If a foam pad directly form the surface of the system, then outwardly projecting, angular vehicle parts, such as an exterior mirror, could be clamped in the pad when driving past and damaged. Edges of the vehicle, z. B. older vehicles, could also damage the pad. Due to the relatively smooth surface of the film slides z. For example, the exterior mirror gently passes the protection system so that the exterior mirror and the system are better protected against damage.

Another advantage of the invention is that the film can serve as an advertising medium, advertising can be applied for example by a UV digital and / or solvent ink printing process on the film. This imprint also makes it easier to find a vehicle, because images imprint better than a printed on the parking z. B. three or four digit number.

Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

In principle, a system would be conceivable in which the pad and the films are an integral part. Ie. The film is firmly connected to the pad. The foil element is after a preferred embodiment of the invention, however, over the cushion member tensioned and in particular detachable executed by this. By two separate parts, the film element can clamp a prefixed pad member and press firmly to the post. You can pull on the opposite ends of the film so that the pad is pressed against the post. As a result, the cushioning element adapts well to a square post shape.

In an advantageous development of the system according to the invention, it is provided that the cushion element is designed to be adhesive-free to the pillar or the post. This allows a residue-free replacement of the protective pad in a simple manner, without the post is damaged. The padding element is preferably designed as a one-piece material web.

In order to pre-fix the upholstery element without adhesive to the post, according to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the upholstery is fastened to the pillar or the post by means of belt-like or band-like fastening elements, in particular plastic strips and / or adhesive tapes. These straps lace the padding so that it fits snugly against the post.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the film element or the pad is longer than the circumference of the pillar or the post, so that two overlapping end portions are present, wherein at least one of these end portions a fixing surface, in particular an adhesive surface is arranged, so that the film element or the film in the glued state forms a film surrounding the pillar or the post. This has the advantage that there is no open-pored padding outside to find. Only the foil can be found outside. The post surface is completely closed by the foil. In case of fire, this is very advantageous because fire at any point does not come into direct contact with the air pores of the pad. This increases the fire protection. In addition, the overlapping areas of the film serve to hold the film on the pad.

As a very suitable padding material, which absorbs shocks from a vehicle well, foam has been found. Suitable materials are polyurethane, elastomer, mineral wool, polyethylene, polyolefin, polypropylene, PUR or PVC. Likewise, a recyclable material, eg. As a natural or synthetic rubber can be used as a cushioning material.

A durable material for the outer film is plastic, preferably polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or a PVC-coated fabric. Another material such as polyethylene would also be conceivable. This is tear-resistant, so that a long life of the protection system is given. It is also easy to print.

In order to substantially improve the acceptance of such a system, the film element is expediently designed as a marking carrier and is in particular printable, in order in particular to print advertising, an image, a signpost or instructions. As a result, the operator of a car park can not only allow his customers a car park without scratches on the vehicle without hesitation, but also generate additional advertising revenue.

In order for such a system, for example in Germany without hesitation, is a building material or a building material combination after at least B1 after German DIN standard 4102-1 used. In this case, a B1 certificate can be achieved. The film element may have a higher fire protection class or a higher fire resistance than the upholstery element. Ie. the upholstery element is faster flammable than the film. By appropriate additives, the flammability of the foam or the upholstery element can be further reduced. Due to the inventive arrangement of outer film and inner padding initially only the film is exposed to a fire. If this has the "protection class" B1, then the use of an upholstery element with "protection class" B2 is quite conceivable, even though a "protection class" of B1 would be obligatory for parking garages. The "protection class" is essentially determined by the film in this system.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the system according to the invention it is provided that the padding element has a material density (core density) of 20-200 kg / m ³ , in particular from about 20-30 kg / m ³ and / or a thickness of 0.5 to 2 , 5 cm. This gives good protection when driving against such a post. Preferably, the film element has a basis weight of 400-900 g / m ² . The film element has a thickness of 0.3 mm-1.5 mm, z. B. about 0.6 mm.

An embodiment will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings, wherein further advantageous developments of the invention and advantages thereof are described.

1 shows a parking pole 1 in an underground car park or in a parking garage. The parking garage can be part of a shopping center that can cover several hundred parking spaces. Side of several z. B. three adjacent parking lots, the corresponding parking garage ceiling is supported by a parking pole, so that three vehicles can park between two parking posts. The park posts are columns that reach from floor to ceiling. A parking pole can be rectangular or square or also have another shape z. B. in cross section circular. The example shows columns of about 30-80 cm width.

In 2 are three such parking lots 401 . 402 . 403 drawn to the right and left of the parking pole 1a and 1b are surrounded. Every parking pole 1a . 1b has a padded protection system 100 so that there are no scratches when parking in or out of the parking spaces 401 or 403 arise at the vehicle.

The system 100 serves to disguise the parking pole 1 and consists essentially of two parts. One part is a cushion element 2 , this in 3 is shown and that around the parking pole 1 at least partially windable is executed. Partial winding means that it can be shorter than the circumference of the post 1 , Preferably, the cushioning element surrounds 2 but completely the post.

3 shows how the upholstery element 2 made of foam at the beginning of a mounting around the post 1 is placed. The upholstery element 2 is glueless on the post 1 fixable. The upholstery element 2 has a thickness of 0.5 cm to 3 cm.

In 4 is shown that the upholstery element 2 through adhesive tapes 3 is held, which are placed outside and are wound around the cushion element. There are several spaced apart in height adhesive tapes 3a . 3b used. Preferably, two to six tapes are used for a post. Every tape 3 is longer than the upholstery element and can also be repeated around the upholstery element 2 be wrapped.

The other part of the system 100 is a foil element 4 , as 5 shows. In 5 This demonstrates that a slide element 4 around the padding element is wrapped so that it forms an outer surface of the protection system. In 4 and in 5 the assembly of the parts is only hinted at. The upholstery element 2 , the tapes 3 and the film element 4 are shown in exploded view.

How out 5 is recognizable, is the film element 4 made of polyethylene over the upholstery element 2 tensioned. The above the upholstery element 2 stretched film element 4 is in 6 clearly visible. This forms the outer surface of the system 100 , Also suitable is fire blanket material.

In the 7 and 8th is a development of the film element 4 shown, wherein for comparison, the circumference U of z. B. 1.2-3.2 meters of the post 1 is shown. The length L of the film element 4 is z. B. 10 cm longer than the circumference U. On one side 7 of the film element 4 is an adhesive surface 5 or an adhesive strip present, with a mating surface 6 on the opposite side 8th of the film element 4 corresponds. The adhesive strip is designed so that this adhesive bond can be solved again. Therefore, the foil element is 4 detachable executed.

As well as in 9 As can be seen, the film element is longer than the circumference of the post, leaving two overlapping end portions 9 . 10 are present, being at the end region 10 a fixation area 5 , In particular, an adhesive surface is arranged, so that the film element 4 in the glued state one around the post 1 circumferential film forms. The upholstery element 2 corresponds approximately to the circumference U of the post 1 so the ends 13 of the upholstery element 2 butt against each other. As an alternative to the adhesive surface, a Velcro fastener could also be used.

5 also shows that the foil element 4 is designed as a label carrier. This is printable z. B. with advertising 11 ,

The protection system fulfills a fire protection class of B1 or higher after the German DIN standard 4102-1 , The upholstery element 2 can theoretically have a lower fire protection class (eg B2) as it does not come into direct contact with fire.

For a direct fire contact of the upholstery element 2 at the upper and / or lower edge of the upholstery element 2 To avoid different solutions are conceivable.

A solution shows 10 , This covers the film element 4 the cushion element to z. 1-10 cm. The supernatant Ü acts like a heat shield.

A second solution shows 11 , Here, one end of the film element is bent in a U-shape, so that no end of the cushioning element 2 is free.

Another solution shows 12 , Although this includes the film element 4 flush with the upholstery element 2 from. However, it becomes a U-shaped end element 14 , z. B. a bent aluminum strip used.

The invention is therefore based on the following thoughts or alternatively the invention can be described as follows:
Protective system for disguising parking pillars or parking posts in garages or multi-storey car parks with an upholstery element that is at least partially windable about the parking pillars or parking pole, and with a foil element that is wrapped around the upholstery element to form an outer surface of the protection system.

The invention relates to a pillar pad for parking garages and the like. The car parks of shopping centers, hotels and similar buildings are known to be narrow and winding. Driving into a parking garage and parking there scares many people. If you only slide lightly along one of the pillars, which are usually made of concrete, unpleasant marks will be left behind on the car and the customer's mood will be spoiled, so that many people even avoid parking in a car park for this reason. Every year, scratches in car parks cause high costs for insurance companies and car owners.

From the past, guard railings mounted around the pillars or the like are known, but their purpose is only to protect the pillar and by no means the vehicle which bumps against the pillar.

The invention thus aims to develop a pillar pad, with the help of which the problem described can be solved or at least decisively mitigated. This goal is achieved with the pillar pad according to the invention, whose main feature is that it comes from a padding that is wrapped around the pillar and attached to the pillar so that these fastenings do not stick to the pillar, and from a stretched over the padding and attached plastic film covering the upholstery and fittings and forming the outer surface of the pillar pad.

The pillar pad can advantageously consist of foam, which is attached to the pillar with plastic tires or adhesive strips and on the turn PVC is attached, at both ends opposite each one adhesive surface is fixed for the purpose of attachment.

By means of this solution according to the invention it is achieved that parking garages become safer and more comfortable. Safe parking and easy parking are important criteria for many people. B. in the choice of the place of purchase.

The outer surface of the pillar cushion according to the invention can also be used for advertising or for hints, because then high-quality advertising, a picture or a hint can be printed.

If required, it is also easy to dismantle or remove the padding, as there are no fasteners that stick to the pier or other difficult to remove means, such as adhesives used.

The invention has been explained with an example of advantageous embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein in the drawings 1 shows a concrete pillar to which a pillar pad according to the invention is attached; and the remaining figures show the assembly of the actual pillar pad according to the invention phase by phase.

The embodiment can alternatively be described as follows:
With reference to the figures, a pillar pad for car parks and the like according to the invention comprises one around the pillar 1 to be wrapped upholstery 2 , which are in place on the pillar 1 with non-stick fasteners 3 is attached, as well as out one over the padding 2 stretched and fastened plastic film 4 which forms the outer surface of the pillar pad.

The upholstery 2 most preferably consists of foam, which is typically about 10 mm thick.

The fortifications 3 the upholstery 2 Conveniently suitable, to be attached to fasteners, such. B. plastic tires or tape. With that, the fortifications 3 at the pillar 1 do not stick, it is meant that the fasteners 3 Type of such or such mounted fastenings are not themselves or with their help upholstery 2 not at the pillar 1 so it hangs that it would be difficult to upholstery 2 or the fixtures 3 to solve. That would be z. For example, if between Pfeifer 1 and upholstery 2 Glue would be.

The plastic film 4 The outer surface of the tight around the pillar 1 attached upholstery 2 forms, conveniently made of PVC.

The fixings of this plastic film 4 most suitably consist of adhesive surfaces, which at the opposite ends of the plastic film 4 are attached. If necessary, the attachment with plastic film 4 secured with plastic tires.

On the plastic film 4 , which forms the outer surface of the pillar pad, you can, if you will, advertising, print a picture or a signpost and so use the Pfeilerpolster in addition to the protective function for commercial purposes or for hints.

The PVC, which is the outer surface of the pillar cushion, is one of the most common types of plastic and it is possible to obtain it in a very durable quality. In addition, it can be used after use as an energy-yielding waste.

The foregoing description of the invention is intended only to illustrate the principles of the invention. One of ordinary skill in the industry may then vary details within the scope of the claims.

The example illustrates a pillar pad for parking garages and the like, taking it from one around the pillar 1 upholstery to be wrapped 2 in their place with at the pillar 1 non-stick fasteners 3 is attached and from one over the padding 2 cocked and fastened as well as the upholstery 2 and their attachment means 3 covering plastic film 4 , which forms the outer surface of the pillar cushion, consists.
