Description

Technical area

The invention relates to a transportable sleeping and seating system which can be used in a vehicle and which has a table function as well as flexible and / or modular storage options.

State of the art

Various bed or sleeping systems and storage options are known for the use of vehicles for camping purposes.

So in the DE 20 2011 106 152 U1 A mobile camping unit with usable space and lying area and a substantially rectangular base area is proposed, in which the usable space is in the lower area and the lying area is in the upper area of the camping unit, the lying area being segmented and from a transport state in which all segments of the lying area are on top of each other , are arranged essentially congruent to the base area of the camping unit, can be transferred to a use state in which the segments of the lying area are arranged within a plane at the level of the upper area of the camping unit and the lying area in the state of use is essentially congruent at one end The base of the camping unit is arranged and supported or suspended at the opposite end by at least one additional means.

The modular transport and sleeping system according to DE 197 56 134 A1 is intended to make it possible to fasten a transport system in a seated manner on the loading area of closed motor vehicles, and not to reduce the loading area as much as possible. In addition, the ability to convert and equip motor vehicles with a loading area of less than 190 cm should create a horizontal area with the integrated sleeping system, which is ideally at least 190 cm. In order to ensure the transport of cargo, it is proposed to use the entire loading area of a station wagon as much as possible. This means that the loading area is almost completely filled with mostly rectangular boxes, the basic modules. The basic modules correspond to the minimum height of the folded back seat of the respective vehicle. These basic modules are provided with lids that form part of the sleeping area. In order to achieve a minimum length of the sleeping area of approx. 180 cm, the system is provided with a device which enables the sleeping plate (s) that are still required to be carried.

From the DE 20 2009 007 234 U1 An underframe for a camping bed for a vehicle with a bench seat with a foldable backrest part is known, which has a lying surface composed of at least one segment, a first segment of the lying surface having fastening means for fastening this segment to the foldable backrest of the bench.

From the DE 20 2007 014 666 U1 an underframe for a camping bed for temporary installation in a motor vehicle is known, which has a first and a second stand element with one or more longitudinal struts in between, the support surface being formed by the second stand element and the longitudinal strut or struts.

The disadvantage of all these solutions is primarily that only a pure lying area is to be formed within the vehicle space. These three or four-part segments of the lying surface can only be folded up and stowed away for transportable purposes. Due to the segmental arrangement of the various lying surfaces, it is not possible to convert them into a seating system with an integrated table in order to create this special purpose. In addition, the lying surface can only be folded in one direction in order to restore the transportable condition. Furthermore, it is not possible in these systems to move the drawer systems for storage space so that when the drawer system is extended, the underside of the table is released at the same time, in order to create the necessary legroom to be able to sit comfortably at a table.

In addition to the systems mentioned above, other systems are known in which a table can be folded out of the lying surface. However, the table function in all of these systems is always located in the middle of the overall construction, which has considerable disadvantages. With this arrangement, only a very limited seating and table surface is formed, which makes an ergonomic sitting posture almost impossible. In addition, the tables of these systems are held with a centered table leg, which greatly limits the leg room. In the case of smaller vehicles, access to the seating with a table function is only possible via the rear of the vehicle and entry via the rear side doors of the vehicle is made considerably more difficult or impossible. It is also not possible to attach a sliding drawer system to a rear entrance in order to create additional storage space.

Presentation of the invention

The invention is based on the object of creating a transportable sleeping and seating system which avoids the disadvantages shown. In particular, it should be made possible by a simple plug-in system and the folding down of various elements of the system as well as the inclusion of flexible storage space to create either a bed or a seat with a table function.

According to the invention, the object is achieved by the sleeping and seating system with a table function according to claim 1.

The basis of the invention is a transportable system, which is used especially in high-roof station wagons, van, mini van and transporter / bus and is equipped with different uses. The first use is that of a lying area with storage space underneath, which should enable the user to sleep comfortably in a vehicle and to stow his travel and camping utensils underneath. The lying surface is made up of various elements, so that it can also be converted into the intended use of the seat with table function in a few simple steps. The construction should also be able to be quickly dismantled for transport purposes and stowed in the trunk of the vehicle.

The system consists of a substantially square-shaped basic structure, on which various elements are either firmly screwed by a plug-in system made of metal profiles or connected to one another by hinges. The first purpose of the composite system is to form a lying surface that has a horizontal, flat surface with a width of at least 1.00 m and a length of 1.90 m.

The essentially rectangular lying surface is made up of several segments of different sizes in the form of wooden panels, which are also connected to the basic structure by a plug-in system on the support surface of the metal profiles or screwed.

A part of the lying surface forms a foldable head part, which, in the transport state or for other purposes, for. B. can be set up as a backrest. The folding head section is placed horizontally on the folded front seats to complete the lying surface.

The system is divided in half lengthways on the left or right ⅔ to ⅓ but a maximum of 1 to 1, whereby the various segments in the form of wooden panels in the smaller part of the lying surface are connected by hinges and can be folded up to the primary stand element. The segments in the form of wooden panels can be converted into a table using the primary stand element, which is the second purpose of the system. The dimensions of the wooden panels used are designed and calculated in such a way that they serve as a lying surface when folded out and form a table surface when folded. The primary stand element serves as a support for the lying surface and also as an essential support for the table top. It is important that the primary stand element is attached to the side and not below the table top. The advantage is that the table is constructed or supported in such a way that maximum legroom can be achieved. Furthermore, no extra table leg has to be screwed on or folded out. This also enables easy entry of the vehicle via one of the rear side doors. The existing elements are optimally used for the two purposes of the sleeping and seating system with table function. The remaining ⅓ area when the table is opened forms a spacious seat.

The system has flexible storage space options, which on the one hand are housed in the form of modular drawers in the basic structure and on the other hand are located below the lying surface. The drawers in the basic structure are used to hold functional camping utensils or other small-sized luggage. By sliding out the drawer modules, luggage and stored utensils can be easily reached with the trunk lid open. The greatest advantage of the push system is that it guarantees more legroom when extended, making it easy to get into the vehicle via one of the rear side doors. This means that if the system is used for the purpose of the bench and the table function, the underside of the table is released at the same time when the extension system is extended to create the necessary legroom. This means that at least 2 people can sit comfortably at one table.

Since the system can be converted for two different purposes due to the segmentation of the lying surface in the longitudinal direction, a mattress is required that consists of a total of five segments. The advantage here is that the different segments of the mattress can be put together as a sleeping pad and individually or in combination as a seat and backrest. Furthermore, the system can be set up and dismantled quickly and easily stowed away.

In the case of shorter vehicles, the head section is set up vertically at approx. 90 degrees using two rotating hinges for transport. The system can also be used in the vehicle with the rear seats folded down or with the rear seats removed. The height of the lying surface is chosen so that it is arranged so high that it is an existing one in the vehicle compartment Rear seat, when this is folded down, towers above. In the case of larger and / or longer vehicles, the foldable head section is supported by additional legs so that the lying surface can be used.

Embodiment of the invention

An exemplary embodiment is described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In 1 the sleeping system is shown with the intended use of the lying area. The lying surface is designed horizontally and consists of the individual segments in the form of wooden panels of different sizes 1 , 1 ', 8, 9, 10, 11 and the headboard 3 .
