Abstract

The furniture pieces comprise panel-shaped parts which are formed so that they are connectable with standard pallets. The panel-shaped parts can also build an easy to assemble transport unit such as a crate. The parts may be wooden laminations such as plywood laminate with smooth surfaces. The panel-shaped parts can be made of plastics, especially one which conforms to fire protection regulations. The parts may have reinforced edges made from wood or profiles in the form of inserted strips. Metal couplers may be used, e.g. hinges with plug pins, etc.

Description

The invention relates to quick-assembly furniture, for example Shelves or tables, especially for the initial furnishing of Auxiliary stations, field hospitals, but also trade fair stands, etc. which consist of plate-like parts.

Assembly furniture, such as shelves or tables, that can be assembled quickly both from the trade fair area and from the general Furniture area known. However, the known assembly furniture the disadvantage that their assembly is relatively complicated, d. H. assembly instructions must be followed and that for Assembly of special tools, e.g. B. Allen key and large screwdrivers are needed. For exhibition stands this is acceptable in the chaotic conditions in Disaster locations, mass refugee camps etc. lead such Installation requirements, however, to considerable problems. In addition, it is very disadvantageous if in the Auxiliary aircraft or similar not just the relief items in packaged Shape, but in addition, especially for field hospitals, Tables and shelves must be carried separately. On immediate orderly access to the relief supplies on the job However, the location is particularly at medical facilities urgently required. In the previously known trans port units, mostly aluminum boxes, can be removed after a short time lost the overview for the auxiliary staff. In one After a short time no one knows the larger stack of boxes where he finds urgently needed materials, parts etc.

It is an object of the invention to quickly assemble assembly furniture specify the disadvantages described above can be avoided. It should only be short and without Use of trained instructors  a quick assembly of the furniture can then make the Relief goods located in the transport units, Put medicines etc. in the assembled furniture. A Sub-task is to remove the assembled furniture in this way design that they just like the transport units, simple can be moved, regrouped etc. by two assistants.

The main task is solved in that the plate-like Parts of the assembly furniture are designed such that preferably in connection with standard pallets, one simple Assembled transport unit in box form for auxiliary can form goods, trade fair goods or similar. Through training the plate-like parts in such a way that they in front of their Assembly to furniture that can form transport units achieved that the transport volume to the site advantageously not insignificantly reduced. In the event of a disaster The advantage here is that after the arrival of the Transport units with the unpacking at the same time Assembly furniture is available. Unpacking hand in hand Hand can move the relief supplies or the like from the stack arrangement in the transport units in the instructions for use on shelves, on tables etc. without going on site Transport operations are necessary; in the construction situation of Auxiliary stations, exhibition stands etc. are a considerable advantage. So it follows that not only the transport costs for then immediately accessible relief goods if possible is small, but also that the time until the one unhindered, orderly access to the relief supplies possible is reduced in an unprecedented way.

In an embodiment of the invention it is provided that the plate-like parts as laminated panels on a wooden basis are formed, in particular as plywood sheets with a smooth surface. This results in relatively stable, needs-based, even washable on the user side, Assembly furniture that is light and therefore easy to transport.  

Possibly. you can even after the end of the relief effort for the local population as furniture or building material to serve.

In particular for exhibition purposes, it is provided that the plates like parts are designed as plastic plates, esp especially as plates made of a plastic that meets the requirements fire protection class B1 (DIN 4102) is sufficient. This execution, which is also particularly hard-wearing and easy to clean, takes into account the fact that in exhibition halls only materials may be used that are not easily flammable. Untreated wood in large quantities is therefore not allowed be set. Made flame retardant by treatment Wood has to be disposed of costly and is in not harmless to health.

In an embodiment of the invention it is provided that the plate-like parts edge reinforcements, in particular Edge reinforcements made of wood or metal profiles, such as in Form of attached strips. This will create a The durability of the assembly furniture has been increased, furthermore there is a stable attachment possibility for metal fasteners to the individual plate-like parts both in shape and transport units as well as in furniture form. For the connection with each other and especially fast and tool-free separation of the plate-like parts from each other, are advantageous link hinges with insert pins intended. The spikes can be inserted into the Hinge parts inserted and again out of the hinge parts be pulled out. So is a connection and / or Separation of the individual plate-like parts easily and simply possible.

With a training of the plate-like parts of the transport The vertical shelf side parts are the unit as shelf parts  as narrow side parts of the box-shaped transport units educated. Advantageously, each form two shelves a narrow side wall of the transport unit. So there is a particularly favorable, the weight ratio nits of still portable transport units and the Size ratios of normal shelves adapted for stacked goods Training of the furniture transport units according to the invention Systems. This system corresponds in its handling, quick assembly etc. especially to the needs Aid missions or small exhibitions where frequent not with mechanical handling devices, either Industrial trucks or electric hoists, can be worked.

To improve portability, the vertical Shelf side parts used grip elements, especially with handles that can be folded into the level of the shelf side parts Metal on. Through inserted handle elements, their handles are advantageously folded, it is possible to both manufacture shelves as well as the transport units especially easy to move by hand. This is particularly true during the construction phase of auxiliary stations is of considerable advantage. Forklifts or transport trucks often hit first late.

The longitudinal side walls of the transport units are advantageous formed from shelves, whereby it from beson whose advantage is that the longitudinal side walls of the transport units already installed at the shelf height and swivel into their final horizontal position on the shelf can be formed bar. A particularly simple and "Foolproof" training of the shelves, whereby it is particular Rem advantage is that the cover parts of the transport unit in unchanged position can form the upper shelf ends.  

As part of the standard packaging dimensions for transports in Aircraft it is very advantageously possible to have any side wall a transport unit consisting of three shelves in the same Size and form a smaller plate. The smaller one Plate becomes very advantageous after assembling the shelves the back of the formed shelf as a form-shear reinforcement screwed on. All you have to do is screw in screws holes drilled in the appropriate places in the Edge reinforcements. These screws can do just like any other other screws for parts to be screwed in with the Screw turning device of a "Swiss knife", used for Standard equipment heard by assistants, turned will. Separate tools are therefore not for the Disassembly of the transport units still for the construction of the Assembly furniture necessary. As has been shown in operations, is the insertion of a stiffening plate for each shelf Sufficient to achieve good shelf stability, esp especially if several shelves are arranged side by side. Then there is a surprisingly stiff shelf wall, which is very can be packed.

In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the transport unit is preferably a natural one, Floor board made of wood, which as an additional Rear wall part of the shelves, designed as a table top or similar is, if necessary, as a table top in the transport unit inserted, foldable table legs. So it turns out the advantageous option of either the shelves reinforce and, especially in the lower part, to Theft from behind with a rear wall provided or, particularly advantageously, to assemble tables, on which e.g. B. dressing material, instruments etc. can be spread. Overall, it turns out that everyone Parts of the transport unit are reusable.

The invention is explained in more detail with reference to drawings, from which further, also inventive, details as well as can be inferred from the subclaims.

In detail show:

Fig. 1 a transport unit according to the invention in perspec TiVi shear view from the outside,

Fig. 2 shows a transport unit in a partially open perspective view;

Fig. 3 is a shelf in perspective view

Fig. 4 reinforcement of a screw hole in a corner.

In Fig. 1, 1 denotes the side wall of a mounted shelf 2 and the shelf boards. The shelf is closed off by a plate-like part 4 . Below in front, but optionally also in the back, and then higher, e.g. B. arranged in the middle of the shelf, there is a narrow wall part 3 of the transport unit. The side wall part 1 forms together with the shelves 2 , the upper, plate-like part 4 and the narrow wall part 3, the outer wall of a transport unit half, which is advantageously completely converted into shelf parts. For easier handling, the side walls 1 have at least one handle unit 8 , which is made in particular of metal, is screwed or riveted into the side wall 1 and is easy to carry both the transport unit formed from the shelf parts 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 and a base plate and the shelves enables. The individual shelves are fixed by screws 6 and 7 , which are advantageously inserted into prefabricated bores with threads, and then partially tightened with a pocket knife or the like. In the holes 5 , which are screwless in this embodiment, were in the training as a transport unit, the screws 6 , with which the shelves 2 are fixed in the shelf use position. The plate-like parts 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 have edge reinforcements 9 and 10 .

In FIG. 2, the side wall parts connect to the side, the longitudinal side members 12 and 13, designated 11. Together with top parts 18 and a base plate 14 , preferably corresponding to the dimensions of a standard transport pallet 15 , the transport units are formed from these parts. For easier handling, the handle elements 16 are used , which are therefore duplicated per transport unit and allow four people to carry the transport units at the same time. This is particularly advantageous if the transport units are filled with auxiliary items of high density, such as paper or laundry. Then such transport units can no longer be easily moved by two people. The screws 17 serve to connect the individual plate-like parts to one another, while the bores 19 are occupied with screws only in the form of assembled shelves.

The transport units shown in Fig. 2 are advantageously easily accessible on site by the screws 17 of a side wall part, for. B. the second lowermost side wall part and from there a partial emptying is carried out. This emptying goes so far that the connecting elements between the two side walls 11 and the base plate 14 can be reached and released. Then this part of the transport unit is then removed from the pallet 15 and converted into a shelf. After the other part of the transport unit has been removed and converted, the shelves can then be filled again with the goods transported in the transport unit. It is understood that larger transport units, for. B. can be formed from three or four corresponding parts. However, the formation of a transport unit from the plate-like parts of two shelves and a base plate, which can also be used as a table top, has proven to be optimal.

From Fig. 3 in particular the connection of side wall parts 20 and longitudinal wall parts 21 of the transport unit formed from the furniture parts with the base plate 22 can be seen. Link hinges 23 with insertion pins 24 , which can be simply pushed in by hand, provide the connection. Hinges 23 with a fixed mandrel 24 , in particular, are arranged on the base plate 22 , while three-part link hinges 25 with insertion pins 26 are arranged on chains 27 between the two side wall parts 20 . In the side wall parts 20 there are still the grip elements 28 , which can be seen here in the rear view.

As can be seen from Fig. 3, the assembly of the plate-like individual parts to a transport unit is very simple. For assembly, the small, horizontal side parts 34 and the vertical side parts 20 are first simply mounted on the floor 22 by inserting the hinge bolts 24 . The side parts 20 are now in their final position and can be closed side by side by the side wall elements which can be easily fastened with screws. When closing at the side, the transport unit can be loaded from above, the side walls being raised depending on the loading condition. Finally, the cover parts 35 , which later form the top of the shelves, are inserted and screwed.

Finally, in FIG. 4, 30 denotes a corner reinforcement of one wall part and 31 a further corner reinforcement of another wall part standing perpendicularly thereon. In the corner reinforcement 30 , for. B. the longitudinal reinforcement of a side wall, a bore 32 is made which has an impact nut 31 at the end. This results in a through hole with end thread into which the screws can be screwed in easily and simply, which connect the individual wall parts with each other in the form of shelves or transport units.

The corner reinforcements can be shown as strips, e.g. B. be made of wood. When using Plastic panels, dense chipboard or similar are recommended but also profile corner reinforcements. these can in particular be designed such that the individual Slabs in the grooves of the corner reinforcements with a positive fit acting cheeks are insertable. This results in a advantageous, if somewhat more expensive, execution that it allows the transport unit and the assembly furniture without assemble the use of screws. Appropriate Insert profiles with form-fitting cheeks are known in both plastic and metal versions.
