Abstract

Partition element with a foot arrangement, with which the partition element is set up to stand freely on a level floor and without wall support, characterized by a frame which is oriented vertically in the intended arrangement and surrounds an area in which a vertical wall surface is in a vertical position by means of a guide mechanism direction can be moved.

Description

The present invention is directed to a screen member having a foot assembly that enables the screen member to stand freely on a level floor without wall support.

Furniture as a room divider is also known in particular for open-plan offices. Bookshelves, sideboards, plant pots or partitions are often placed here where one area of the room is to be separated from another. They serve as a certain obstruction of vision or screening, but also as an acoustic barrier so that neighboring areas do not disturb each other.

Last but not least, new aspects relating to teamwork have also created the need for more flexible office space use and design. However, known office furniture systems do not do justice to this completely satisfactorily.

The object of the present invention is therefore to create a furniture system element in the form of a room divider, the adaptability of which is improved. This problem is solved by a partition element with the features of claim 1 . Preferred developments are specified in the dependent claims.

A partition element according to the invention has a foot arrangement, as is known for furniture, for example with height-adjustable feet or on castors (specifically, for the greatest possible stability against tipping, preferably as far as possible on the outside), with which the partition element is set up to stand freely on a level floor and without wall support stand.

In order to promote the tipping stability even further, the partition element according to the invention can have a horizontal plate in the area of the foot arrangement, which is set up (in particular in terms of size and strength), a concrete drill core, a cylinder made of concrete, in particular with a diameter of 10 cm to 50 cm and a height of up to 50 cm to wear as a weight. Concrete drill cores are cheap waste products in the construction industry, which are surprisingly well suited for the purpose specified here because of their large weight (which can be appropriately selected depending on their size) and, last but not least, their suitable, also aesthetic, circular-cylindrical geometry.

According to the invention, such a partition element is characterized by a frame which, when the partition element is arranged as intended, is oriented vertically on a level floor. The frame surrounds an area in which a vertical wall surface is slidable in a vertical direction by means of a guide mechanism. The guide mechanism is attached to the frame or integrated there. Or the frame is adapted for mounting such a panel (and possibly also the guide mechanism) and/or some other device operable by a user.

• Wenn nämlich zum Beispiel zu beiden Seiten des erfindungsgemäßen Stellwandelements je ein Tisch, (insbesondere jeweils Arbeitstische) unmittelbar daneben gestellt ist, kann die Wandfläche in mindestens einer ihrer Verschiebepositionen (insbesondere der eben genannten oberen Position) den Blick von an den beiden Tischen sitzend arbeitenden Personen voneinander abschirmen - und in mindestens einer ihrer Verschiebepositionen (zum Beispiel der eben genannten unteren Position) freigeben. So kann der Rahmen des erfindungsgemäßen Möbelsystemelements darauf eingerichtet sein, zu beiden Seiten je einen Tisch unmittelbar daneben zu stellen: zum Beispiel in seiner Breite und Höhe, indem der Rahmen eine Breite von mindestens 1,2 m, insbesondere ungefähr 2 m, oder die Breite eines Schreibtisches (der zum Beispiel formalästhetisch und/oder funktional angepasst zu dem Möbelsystem gehört), aufspannt und/oder die Wandfläche diese Breite wie beschrieben abschirmt oder freigibt - und zwar insbesondere zumindest in Schreibtischplattenhöhe (etwa 70 cm bis 85 cm) und/oder Stehpulthöhe (etwa 100 cm bis 130 cm) und insbesondere zwischen einem linken und einem rechten jeweils senkrechten Rahmenelement.

Because the wall surface can be moved vertically, in particular between an upper position in which the wall surface vertically covers the eye level of a seated person and a lower position in which the wall surface leaves the eye level of a seated person free, the furniture system element according to the invention can be flexibly adjusted for example the planned communication between the areas separated by the partition element:

• If, for example, a table (in particular a work table) is placed directly next to it on both sides of the partition element according to the invention, the wall surface can, in at least one of its sliding positions (in particular the above-mentioned upper position), prevent the view of people sitting at the two tables working shield from each other - and release in at least one of their displacement positions (e.g. the lower position just mentioned). The frame of the furniture system element according to the invention can be set up to place a table directly next to it on either side: for example in its width and height, by the frame having a width of at least 1.2 m, in particular approximately 2 m, or the width of a desk (which, for example, belongs to the furniture system in a formally aesthetic and/or functionally adapted manner), and/or the wall surface shields or releases this width as described - in particular at least at desk top height (about 70 cm to 85 cm) and/or standing desk height (about 100 cm to 130 cm) and in particular between a left and a right vertical frame element.

Incidentally, the eye level of a seated person, which can be vertically covered or cleared by the partition element according to the invention in the correct arrangement of the partition element according to the invention, is between 1.0 m and 1.4 m above the floor on which the partition element stands in the correct arrangement. For stand-alone (or frame-integrated) standing desks, the preferably shielded or exposed eye level is (alternatively or cumulatively) that of a standing human, i.e. in particular between 1.4 m and 1.9 m above the floor.

The frame of the partition element according to the invention can, for example, also be set up (to place a table directly next to it on both sides) so that the partition element takes on a supporting function on the table top: in particular, fastening elements can be integrated, attached or attached and adapted to the frame be to support the table top of a desk (particularly one belonging to the furniture system possible according to the invention). Also, mere guide elements on the frame may be adapted to position the tabletop and/or any part of the frame of a desk (particularly one belonging to the furniture system) with respect to the partition element (e.g. centrally across its width).

The frame of the partition element according to the invention can also be set up as follows to place a table directly next to it on either side: The frame can, for example near or in the highest area of the frame, have at least one lamp or light, for example a Spot, which may be aimed at at least one table standing next to it or, in particular, can be pivoted and/or aligned accordingly. To supply the lamp or luminaire, the frame then preferably has a power supply line (or a cable duct for it) in one area of its course, with an input near or in the highest and/or lowest area of the frame (in particular in order to connect the power supply to a connect external power supply network) - namely leads to the at least one lamp or luminaire.

In general, the frame can have at least one data line and/or power line (voltage supply line) and/or at least one channel for it in at least one area of its course, with an input near or in the highest and/or lowest area of the frame (in particular again , in order to connect the data and/or power line to an external network through there) and with an input, in particular below 75 cm above the floor (in the intended arrangement of the element according to the invention), whereby electrical and/or data-processing devices in, on or can be placed next to the frame to be supplied with appropriate lines. This can also be used in particular to set up the partition element according to the invention, to place a table directly next to it on both sides: at least one computer is usually required on a work table, for example, which is in the manner described, literally by the according to the invention Partition wall element, can be connected and supplied with data and power.

The aforementioned inputs near or in the highest and/or lowest area of the frame (in order to connect data and/or power lines to an external network therethrough) are preferably arranged there on the frame because this makes connecting to an external network viz a floor service duct or via cable trays hanging under the office ceiling. Such floor connection ducts or cable trays are known to be installed in many office spaces.

• In dem Rahmen können mehr als eine, insbesondere zwei, Wandflächen vorzugsweise parallel zueinander mittels eines oder jeweils mittels eines Führungsmechanismus in einer senkrechten Richtung, insbesondere genau senkrecht, verschiebbar sein. Mindestens eine der senkrechten Wandflächen kann mindestens einseitig eine schalldämmende Beschichtung (etwa eine gepolsterte, zum Beispiel textile Bespannung) aufweisen. Diese kann so auch als Pinwandoberfläche geeignet sein, und/oder mindestens eine der senkrechten Wandflächen ist überhaupt (ein- oder beidseitig) mit einer Pinwandoberfläche ausgebildet. Auch kann jeweils mindestens eine der senkrechten Wandflächen (ein- oder beidseitig) eine Whiteboard- und/oder Kreidetafel-Oberfläche und/oder eine Beamer-Projektionsoberfläche haben.

Since the wall surface can be moved vertically according to the invention, in particular between a position in which the wall surface covers at least the eye level of a sitting and/or standing person and a position in which the wall surface leaves at least eye level free, the furniture system element according to the invention is, as stated, for For example, it can be adapted to the planned communication between the areas separated by the partition element. The covering and leaving of the eye level affects in particular the eye contact between the areas. Preferably, however, the acoustic delimitation can also be adaptable according to the invention. Depending on its nature, for example as a panel made of a wood material, the covering and leaving it open by the wall surface also causes acoustic insulation between the two areas. According to the invention, however, this can be further differentiated:

• In the frame, more than one, in particular two, wall surfaces can be displaceable, preferably parallel to one another, in a vertical direction, in particular exactly vertical, by means of one or in each case by means of a guide mechanism. At least one of the vertical wall surfaces can have a sound-absorbing coating (such as a padded, for example textile covering) on at least one side. This can also be suitable as a pin board surface, and/or at least one of the vertical wall surfaces is designed with a pin board surface (on one or both sides). At least one of the vertical wall surfaces (on one or both sides) can also have a whiteboard and/or chalkboard surface and/or a beamer projection surface.

Preferably, the frame has four frame members connected together at their ends (two in turn, annularly, thus forming the frame). In the intended arrangement of the device according to the invention these are then a lower and an upper frame element each transversely horizontally and a left and a right frame element each laterally vertically. The frame is preferably rectangular, and more preferably square, with a height and a width of for example 1.6 m to 2.4 m, in particular 1.8 m to 2.2 m in particular with a rectangular outer contour, the horizontal frame elements particularly preferably oriented horizontally (i.e. with a vertical normal vector - the mathematically so-called vector that is perpendicular to a plane and thereby, mathematically, defines it) and the vertical frame elements oriented vertically in the direction of the center of the frame level (i.e. with a horizontal normal vector pointing to the center of the frame).

• Ein zum Beispiel gut 2 m mal 2 m messender quadratischer Rahmen aus Rahmenelement-Platten mit einer Tiefe von etwa 40 cm und Wandflächen darin von knapp 2 m Breite und knapp 1 m Höhe kann, alle Wandelemente ganz nach unten geschoben, zwischen den Tischen freien Durchblick gewähren. Die an den Tischen Arbeitenden fühlen sich verbunden, können miteinander sprechen und sich zumindest sehen und wahrnehmen. Wenn nun an einem der Tische, etwa für eine kleine Besprechung, eine Beamer-Präsentation gebraucht wird, lässt sich die Wandfläche mit der Projektionsoberfläche, nun nach oben geschoben, dafür nutzen. Wenn weiter in der Besprechung eine Tafel für Skizzen und Notizen benötigt wird, kann die Wandfläche mit der Whiteboard- oder Kreidetafel-Oberfläche nach oben geschoben werden (und die andere(n) nötigenfalls, um die benötigte nicht zu überdecken, nach unten). Mit dem jeweiligen nach oben Schieben zur Benutzung wird zwischen den Tischen zugleich blickdichte und akustische Abschirmung erzeugt, so dass Arbeit am anderen Tisch nicht gestört wird. Sogar einen Hygieneschutz zum Beispiel gegen Tröpfcheninfektion durch die Luft kann die Wandfläche dann bieten, wie sie jetzt gerade in der Zeit der Corona-Pandemie besonders gefragt ist.

In particular in such an embodiment, for example, the partition element according to the invention, standing between two work tables, can provide various functions, as described so far:

• For example, a square frame measuring a good 2 m by 2 m made of frame element panels with a depth of around 40 cm and wall surfaces in it of almost 2 m wide and almost 1 m high can, with all wall elements pushed all the way down, have a clear view between the tables grant. Those working at the tables feel connected, can talk to each other and at least see and perceive each other. If a beamer presentation is needed at one of the tables, for example for a small meeting, the wall surface with the projection surface can now be pushed up and used for this purpose. If further in the meeting a board is needed for sketches and notes, the wall surface with the whiteboard or chalkboard surface can be pushed up (and the other(s) down if necessary so as not to cover the needed one). With the respective pushing up for use, opaque and acoustic shielding is created between the tables at the same time, so that work at the other table is not disturbed. The wall surface can even offer hygiene protection, for example against droplet infection through the air, which is particularly in demand right now during the corona pandemic.

A particularly preferred design element of the frame is a groove or groove-like recess, in particular in the direction in which the frame elements extend. If, for example, the frame elements are connected to one another at their ends in twos, ring-shaped, so forming the frame, the frame elements connected to one another can have a groove in their ends (or several, in particular parallel to one another), which is straight, in one plane , running from one to the other frame member (e.g. inside and/or outside thereof) and in which sits a connector which is connected (detachably, e.g. by means of screws) at each of its two ends to one of the frame members. This connection is preferably form-fitting at least in certain areas. In particular, between straight frame elements, these are preferably angle connectors, in particular right-angled ones. Last but not least, this detachability causes the possibility according to the invention of assembling from the same or at least similar components, as a modular system.

But also in at least one area of the course of its frame elements, the frame can have one or more grooves or groove-like recesses, in particular openings (several in particular parallel to one another), which can run straight (and even from one to an adjacent frame element) - in which, for example Mounting elements that can be attached are: a coat hook, a shelf arm, a cable pulley of the guide mechanism of the sliding vertical wall surface and/or a flower pot holder - multifunctional or specialized mounting elements (only for example for loudspeakers, picture frames or containers) can also or only be guided and held in a form-fitting manner, sit in the groove or be usable. For this purpose, this structure preferably has a form-fitting contour at several points that are particularly functionally or ergonomically suitable. This is in particular a hole (a blind hole or in particular a milling or an incision) or a passage (a through-bore or a milling) in or through the frame, which can also gradually merge into a wall of the groove. In a form-fitting contour, in particular one of the holding elements can be guided and held in the groove only or also in a form-fitting manner. All of this or respective elements thereof can be aligned in such a way that mounting elements are then attached or can be attached to the respective frame element radially outwards and/or inwards and/or axially on the frame (radially or axially with respect to an imaginary, horizontal, "axis" around which which, according to the invention, is vertical, runs around the frame).

According to the figures, partition elements 2 have a foot arrangement, with which they are each set up to stand freely on a level floor 6 and without wall support - namely, as is known for furniture, for example on feet 8 or (in order, for example, to also be easy to move) on (possibly also lockable - not shown) rollers 10. Or the foot arrangement is formed directly from the plate-shaped, flat, horizontal bottom board 12 of the rectangular frame 14, which each of the partition elements 2 shown has (see below).

In order to further promote the tipping stability, the partition elements 2 according to 14 , 15 and 18 in the area of the foot arrangement, there are two horizontal sheet metal plates 16 which (particularly in terms of size and strength) are designed to carry two concrete drill cores 18, a concrete cylinder with a diameter of 30 cm and a height of 30 cm, as a weight. The metal plate 16 is screwed under the bottom board 12 and the latter is cut out in a semicircular shape in the contour of the drill core 18 in order to be able to place the core on the metal plate 16 partially within the cubature of the frame 14 . The partition element 2 according to 13 is narrower and therefore only has a sheet metal plate 16 and a drill core 18.

The frames 14 are oriented vertically in the illustrated intended arrangement of the respective partition element 2 on a level floor 6 . The frame 14 surrounds an area 20 in which, for example (according to 1 until 6 ) a vertical wall surface 22 can be displaced in a vertical direction by means of a guide mechanism with a pulley 24 and a counterweight 26 . One roller 24 each of the guide mechanism is attached to the two upper corners of the frame 14 for this purpose.

• Wenn nämlich zum Beispiel zu beiden Seiten des Stellwandelements 2 je ein Arbeitstisch 28 unmittelbar daneben gestellt ist (wie in 1 abgebildet), kann die Wandfläche 22 in mindestens einer ihrer Verschiebepositionen (insbesondere der eben genannten oberen Position) den Blick von an den beiden Tischen 28 sitzend arbeitenden Personen (nicht dargestellt) voneinander abschirmen - und in mindestens einer ihrer Verschiebepositionen (zum Beispiel der eben genannten unteren Position) freigeben. So kann der Rahmen 14 des Möbelsystemelements 2 darauf eingerichtet sein, zu beiden Seiten je einen Tisch unmittelbar daneben zu stellen: in seiner Breite und Höhe, indem der Rahmen 14 eine Breite von ungefähr 2 m oder insbesondere die Breite eines Schreibtisches 28 aufspannt (der zum Beispiel formalästhetisch und/oder funktional angepasst zu dem Möbelsystem gehört) - und indem die Wandfläche diese Breite wie beschrieben abschirmt oder freigibt - und zwar in Schreibtischplattenhöhe (etwa 70 cm bis 85 cm) und Stehpulthöhe (etwa 100 cm bis 130 cm) und zwischen einem linken und einem rechten jeweils senkrechten Rahmenelement 30, 32.

By allowing the panel 22 to slide vertically between an upper position ( 3 ), in which the wall surface vertically covers the eye level of a seated person (not shown) (the wall surface can be pushed even higher than shown), and a lower position ( 2 ), in which the wall surface 22 leaves the eye level of a seated person free (the wall surface can be pushed even lower than shown), the furniture system element 2 can be flexibly adapted, for example to the planned communication between the areas separated by the partition element 2:

• If, for example, a work table 28 is placed directly next to it on either side of the partition element 2 (as in 1 shown), the wall surface 22 can shield the view of people (not shown) sitting at the two tables 28 working at the two tables 28 from each other in at least one of its displacement positions (in particular the above-mentioned upper position) - and in at least one of its displacement positions (for example the above-mentioned position). lower position). For example, the frame 14 of the furniture system element 2 can be set up to place a table directly next to it on either side: in its width and height, in that the frame 14 spans a width of approximately 2 m or in particular the width of a desk 28 (which for example, formally aesthetically and/or functionally adapted to the furniture system) - and by the wall surface shielding or revealing this width as described - namely at desk top height (approx. 70 cm to 85 cm) and standing desk height (approx. 100 cm to 130 cm) and between one left and a right vertical frame element 30, 32.

In the area 20, which the frame 14 surrounds, a second vertical wall surface 34 is also firmly attached, which shields the footwells under the tables 28 from one another (from the very bottom, from the floor board 12 to slightly above desktop height). Both wall surfaces 22, 34 are the same size. Pushed all the way down, they lie congruently on top of each other.

Also, the frame 14 of the partition element are set up as follows to place a table directly next to it on either side: Example of a light band 38 ( 2 and 3 ) or three spots 40 ( 18 ), get mounted, which may be aimed at at least one table standing next to it or can even be swiveled and/or aligned accordingly. In 18 the spotlights serve to illuminate the work surface 42 of the pantry 44 mounted there in the frame 14.

To supply the light 38, 40, the frame 14 has a voltage supply line 48 ( 1 ) and a conduit therefor (not shown) having an input 46 in the highest portion 36 of the frame 14 for connecting the power supply 48 therethrough to an external power supply network (not shown). The conduit 48 is secured to the ceiling (not shown) by a ceiling anchor 50 . It is branched (not shown) and also leads to two three-way sockets 47 and further 49, for example to a next partition element (not shown).

As already indicated, the frame 14 has four frame elements (two in sequence, ring-shaped, thus forming the frame) which are connected to one another at their ends. In the intended arrangement shown in each case, these are then the lower frame element 12 and the upper frame element 36 in each case transversely horizontally and a left and a right frame element 30, 32 in each case laterally vertically. Frame 14 is rectangular, and more preferably square (according to all figures except 10 until 16 ), with a height and a width of a little over 2 m. The frame elements 12, 30, 32, 36 are plate-shaped, with a rectangular outer contour, while the horizontal frame elements 12, 36 are oriented horizontally (i.e. with a vertical normal vector (not shown) - the so-called vector mathematically, which is perpendicular to a plane and thereby mathematically defines it) and the vertical frame elements 30, 32 are oriented vertically in the direction of the frame center 20 (i.e. with a horizontal normal vector directed towards the frame center 20 - not shown). The (vertical and the horizontal) frame elements are also available in the system in half length, so that with them a non-square frame 12 half width ( 11 ) and/or half height ( 10 ) can be assembled ( 10 until 16 ).

• Damit die Rahmenelemente, der Reihe nach jeweils zwei, ringförmig, so den jeweiligen Rahmen 14 bildend, an ihren Enden mit einander verbunden sind, weisen die miteinander verbundenen Rahmenelemente in ihren Enden jeweils fünf Nuten 52 oder Eck-Ausnehmungen parallel zueinander auf, die gerade, in einer Ebene, verbunden von dem einen zu dem anderen jeweiligen Rahmenelement durch dessen Innen- und Außenseite verlaufen und in denen je ein rechtwinkliger Winkelverbinder 54 sitzt (5), der mit jedem seiner beiden Enden mit einem der Rahmenelemente (lösbar mittels Schrauben durch Schraubenlöcher 56 - nicht dargestellt) verbunden ist. Diese Verbindung ist im Bereich der Enden der Winkelverbinder 54 und Eck-Ausnehmungen 52 formschlüssig. Nicht zuletzt diese Lösbarkeit bewirkt die Möglichkeit des Zusammensetzens der Rahmen 14 aus gleichen oder zumindest ähnlichen Bauteilen 12, 30, 32, 36 als Baukastensystem.

A special design element of the frame elements 12, 30, 32, 36 is a slot- or groove-shaped recess 52, 61, an opening, in the direction in which the frame elements extend:

• So that the frame elements are connected to one another at their ends, two in a row, in a ring shape, thus forming the respective frame 14, the frame elements connected to one another each have five grooves 52 or corner recesses parallel to one another in their ends, which are straight, in a plane connected from one to the other respective frame member extending through the inside and outside thereof and in each of which sits a right angle bracket 54 ( 5 ) which is connected at each of its two ends to one of the frame members (detachable by means of screws through screw holes 56 - not shown). This connection is form-fitting in the area of the ends of the angle connectors 54 and corner recesses 52 . Last but not least, this detachability makes it possible to assemble the frame 14 from the same or at least similar components 12, 30, 32, 36 as a modular system.

The dovetail-shaped form-fitting contour 58 in the groove-shaped corner recesses 52, which creates the form-fitting connection between the ends of the angle connectors 54 and grooves 52, is cut into the ends of the frame elements 12, 30, 32, 36 using circular saw blades (not shown) of the same diameter manufactured: by such saw blades entering both from inside and outside the frame, i.e. from both sides of the respective frame element (which always have parallel outer contours 59 there as plates), to the same depth and with the saw blade center point on the same right-angled straight line 60 (which namely oriented perpendicular to the parallel outer contours 59) and in the same plane.

The same - dovetail-shaped - form-fitting contour 58 is also found in other groove-shaped recesses 61, in which a holding element (for example, a connecting cheek 57 or a coat hook 62) according to 7 can be used positively. In the course of the vertical frame elements 30, 32, the frame 14 has these recesses 60 (several in groups, parallel to one another)—and the holding elements 62 can be attached therein.

• - einen Spind, Schrank und/oder ein Fach 80, auch abschließbar (16 und 23),
• - eine Anordnung 82 von Pflanztöpfen, so dicht wie ein senkrechtes Beet (Fig, 22) und
• - eine Anordnung von insbesondere durch einen geeigneten Mechanismus (nicht dargestellt) gemeinsam schwenkbaren Paravent-Lamellen 84.

The partition element 2 is particularly preferably part of a furniture system, as already indicated several times. Thus, the wall surfaces 22, 34 can be inserted into the frame 14 and then preferably also exchanged for (and/or supplemented by - in their size for the frame in full square or half size, portrait or landscape, adapted as elements prepared):

• - at least one bookshelf board 64 ( 12 , 13 and 15 ),
• - a wardrobe made of a hook wall with the same hooks 62 in the same recesses 60,
• - A pantry 44 with refrigerator 66, base cabinet 68 and wall cabinet (not shown) and worktop 42 ( 18 ),
• - a "seat ring" 70, a chair construction with a padded passage 70 to rest in ( 21 ),
• - a flat screen 72 ( 20 )
• - a whiteboard 74 ( 19 ),
• - A table top 76 (which can be pivoted in particular (between the horizontal plane, as a table, and the vertical plane, as a privacy screen) 14 and 15 ),
• - a standing desk 78 ( 13 ), which can also be height-adjustable - also quickly adjustable, for example by means of a vertical guide mechanism (not shown), possibly hydraulically supported, as is known in principle from height adjustments on desk chairs,
• - a locker, cupboard and/or compartment 80, also lockable ( 16 and 23 ),
• - an arrangement 82 of plant pots as dense as a vertical bed (Fig. 22) and
• - an arrangement of partition slats 84 that can be pivoted together, in particular by a suitable mechanism (not shown).
