DE19618238A1 - Restaurant with circular and rotating inner area - Google Patents

Abstract

The inner area of the restaurant is made of segments (3a-3h) which are loosely attached with other, and are connected at the centre of the inner area (3) via hinges (5). The segments lie on the edges of the inner area and can be rolled or slid on a solid support or rail in the centre of the inner area. The entire unit may be driven by one or more electric and/or hydraulic motors or geared motor, having a fixed or variable rotational speed.

Description

The invention relates to a restaurant or a restaurant in principle circular and rotating inner surface.

In OS DE 230 49 021 it is a "restaurant, snack bar or the like." described been "made up of a space of annular cross section which rotates on a is arranged vertically in the ground mullion "exists.

The disadvantage of the known arrangement is that the floor of the room tends to vibrate, especially when the room is for dance purposes should be used.

Another disadvantage is that the whole room tends to vibrate, especially when the wall of the room is exposed to strong wind pressure, such as for example in the marine coastal area.

Another disadvantage of the known arrangement is that the storage the space on or at the middle post is technically and economically complex, in particular to suppress wind-induced vibrations in the room or because the drive motor required to rotate the space on the mullion relatively large gear ratio required, which creates high costs, so that extremely low speeds of rotation of the room are not feasible are.

The object of the invention is the inner surface of a restaurant on the Guests and operating personnel can move freely, with as little as possible Angular velocity, about 360 degrees within an hour, rotate leave, so that the inner surface does not vibrate when it for Dance events used by guests. From the rotation are any additions and Exclude drains from supply and disposal lines.

The object is achieved in that the inner surface of the restaurant is not as rigid structure is executed, but is divided into segments that loose against each other or elastic with each other and in the center of the inner surface are movably connected by hinges.

The segments lie on the edge of the inner surface and in the middle of the inner surface can be slid or rolled on a solid, non-elastic base, possibly on a rail or an abutment, so that both a silent rotary movement of the segments as well as a temperature-related length compensation of the segments in the direction of Edge of the inner surface is reached.

The drive for the entirety of the segments takes place either on the edition of the Segments in the middle of the inner surface and / or on the support of the segments on Edge of the inner surface with one or more electrical or / and hydraulic motors or geared motors, the speed of which is fixed or variable is adjustable and / or their torques if several drive motors are used, for example by means of an electrical wave or electronic Regulation, controlled or regulated so that the burden of  Drive motors or their share in the rotating locomotion of the inner surface is always the same.

The invention will be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment. Show it

FIG. 1 shows the floor plan of the restaurant,

Fig. 2 shows the side view of two opposite segments.

Fig. 1 shows the floor plan of the restaurant, in which the fixed outer wall 1 and, firmly connected to the outer wall 1 , the supply and control surface 2 are shown in a ring. In the area spanned by the supply and operating surface 2 is the inner surface 3 of the restaurant, which consists of the segments 3 a, 3 b,. . . 3 h exists and is separated from the supply and control surface 2 by a covered air gap 4 .

Fig. 2 shows the side view of two, with respect to the center of the inner surface opposite segments 3 a. . . 3 h, for example segments 3 a and 3 e. These are movably connected to one another in the middle of the inner surface 3 by means of a hinge 5 ( not identified in any more detail) and lie on an abutment 6 which is supported on a solid base 7 , which in turn is connected to the floor 8 of the restaurant. At the edge of each segment 3 a and 3 e there are one or more rollers 9 or wheels 9 , which are also supported on a solid base 7 .

Claims (3)

1. Restaurant with a circular and rotating inner surface, characterized in that the inner surface of the restaurant is not designed as a rigid structure, but is divided into segments that are loosely or elastically connected to each other and in the center of the inner surface by means of hinges and which on The edges of the inner surface and in the middle of the inner surface can be slid or rolled on a firm, non-elastic base, possibly on a rail or an abutment. 2. Restaurant or restaurant according to claim 1, characterized in that that the drive of the entirety of the segments either on the edition of the Segments in the middle of the inner surface and / or on the support of the Segments on the edge of the inner surface with one or more electrical or / and hydraulic motors or geared motors whose speed is fixed or is variably adjustable. 3. Restaurant or restaurant according to claim 2, characterized in that that the torque of each individual drive motor, if several Drive motors are used, controlled or regulated so that the Load on the drive motors or their share of the rotating Movement of the inner surface is the same in each case.
