Description

The invention relates to a polygon module for producing a furniture device having a module body and having at least one connecting means, wherein the module body is substantially polygonal, wherein the module body has a plurality of edge regions and a plurality of corners, wherein the module body is connectable by means of the connecting means with further module bodies, wherein the edge portions of different module body can be connected to each other with the connecting means.

The invention further relates to a furniture device having a plurality of polygon modules, wherein each polygon module has a module body and at least one connecting means, wherein the module body are formed substantially polygonal, wherein the module body having a plurality of edge portions and corners, wherein the module body are interconnected by means of the connecting means, wherein the edge regions of different module body are connected to each other with the connecting means.

From the WO 2010/001359 A1 is a furniture device in the form of a modular composite wall paneling known. The wall cladding is composed of several polygon modules. Each polygon module has a plurality of contiguous triangular-shaped module bodies made of foam. The module body are connected by embossed kinks in the foam, ie at inner edge regions. The polygon module is formed by a one-piece network with the contiguous module bodies. The outer edge regions of the module body thereby form the outer edge region of the polygon module. The indentations each extend from the middle of the entire polygon module to the outer edge region of the polygon module. The embossed kinks allow the individual module bodies to be folded substantially concave or convex out of the plane into the three-dimensional space. The fact that the individual polygon modules can be placed along the embossed kinks creates a three-dimensional effect. At the outer, free edge areas substantially T-shaped tabs are formed. These tabs serve as connecting means. To connect two polygon modules together, the tabs can each be placed parallel to each other and fixed with a clip or rubber band to each other. The polygon modules are combined to form an interlocking system of textile modules. This system can be mounted as an installation on a wall or on a ceiling.

These polygon modules are not yet optimally formed. The polygon modules are concave or convex by the impressed kinks. This allows the wall cladding to bulge into the room. The fact that the polygon modules consist of a foam and are provided with the kinks, resulting in an unstable construction whose structure is limited by the possible combinations of the individual polygon modules.

The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a polygon module for producing a modular furniture device, wherein a limited combinability and an unstable furniture device are avoided.

This object of the invention is based, is now solved for the polygon module that exactly one module body is provided, wherein the module body has a spring-stiff carrying device and all edge portions of the module body with other module bodies are connectable. This problem underlying the invention is now achieved for the furniture device in that the polygon modules each have exactly one module body, wherein the module body has a spring-stiff support device and all edge regions are formed for connection to the other module body. The module body is designed so spring stiff that no kinks are present. The module body forms a non-foldable unit and has only outer edge regions. As a result, a plurality of different networks of separate module bodies can be assembled. The fact that no already connected module body can be used, but all module body can be connected individually, a large combination option for the construction of furniture devices is given. The support device forms the edge regions. This has the advantage that each individual polygon module is designed sufficiently spring stiff and in particular sufficiently rigid. This makes it possible not only to replicate areas in the room, but to produce in particular furniture devices with sitting and lying surfaces of the polygon modules, so that a user of such a furniture device can be supported by such a sitting and lying surface. The sitting and / or lying surface is formed by the interconnected polygon modules and / or supported at the same time. The polygon modules are in particular connectable to closed bodies, namely polyhedra. These interconnected polyhedra in particular bound a part of the three-dimensional space, wherein the planes are bounded in each case by at least one, in particular exactly one polygon module. Examples of such three-dimensional polyhedra are in particular regular polyhedra, which consist of congruent polygon modules are composed. The polygon modules are all congruent in particular. The polygon modules may in particular have the shape of regular polygons. Preferably, the polygon modules have a triangular shape, wherein in particular three equal-length edge regions can be provided. Through these polygon modules tetrahedron, octahedron as a cell of the furniture device can be formed. An octahedron has two parallel planes, so that one of the planes can form a standing surface and the other plane can provide a seating and / or lying surface. The octahedron can be extended by the further cultivation of polygon modules in tetrahedral form and / or octahedron shape in each case to a larger sitting or lying area. The connecting means are in particular designed such that three polygon modules can be connected to each other at respectively adjacent edge regions. There is the possibility that the three polygon modules are connected to each other by pairwise connection or that a connecting means is provided, which connects all three adjacent edge regions. The support device carries the furniture device and therefore provides sufficient stability, in particular to provide a self-supporting furniture device. The support device may in particular have a frame. The frame forms the edge areas. The frame may be formed circumferentially. For example, the frame may be formed by a frame or rods which are interconnected at their corners. The frame may for example consist of straight bar sections and bent corner pieces, which are inserted into one another or pluggable. The frame may alternatively be formed in one piece. It is conceivable to manufacture the frame from plastic. The frame may be formed as a plastic molding. The frame may be covered with a tensioning material, in particular a fabric of a film, a tarpaulin or the like. The clothing material can form a membrane. The covering material may have recesses at the edge regions, so that the connecting means can embrace the frame there. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the carrying device is formed by a plate material. The plate material forms the edge areas. The plate material may also be covered with a tension material. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the carrying device has a plastic molded part or consists of a plastic molded part. The plastic molding forms the edge areas and vzw. the corners. The plastic molding may, for example, have a honeycomb structure or lattice structure. As a particularly preferred embodiment, the polygon module covering element, in particular a pad. The cover may be formed either as a cushion or unpadded. The cover elements make it possible to adapt the optical design of the polygon module and thus customize the design of the furniture device individually. The cover elements may be formed in particular congruent with the corresponding module body. The cover or cushion is preferably detachably connectable to the clamping material and / or the module body. The cover or pad can be attached for example via push buttons, a hook and loop fastener or the like. This has the advantage that, on the one hand, the optics of the furniture device can be adapted and, on the other hand, a seat and / or lying surface can therefore be padded. The aforementioned disadvantages are therefore avoided and corresponding advantages are achieved.

There are now a large number of possibilities for designing and developing the polygon module according to the invention and the furniture device according to the invention in an advantageous manner. For this purpose, reference may first be made to the claims subordinate to claim 1 and claim 15.
