Movable, movable wall container module system, polygonal or circular in columns

Description:

Wall container module system, particularly suitable for setting up workstations or changing rooms, characterized in that it consists of a series of wall container modules (5) as closed shafts having at least one opening (6). The wall container modules are connected to one another at different angles of rotation (7) until the angle between two connected parts corresponds to the base angle (8) of the part of the module that is triangular in plan, so that the modules can be assembled in a polygonal or circular position. Each wall container module consists of a hollow prism (5) (with three or more side surfaces) or irregular prism or curved body with different opening options (doors, flaps, rotating or folding parts, or simple openings), which have at least one vertex angle (9) in the floor plan (recognizable in the floor plan as a clearly geometrically separable but not spatially separable triangular part of the polygon), so that they can be put together polygonally or circularly in order to form a column.

The modules are pivotably connected to one another by one (only if the module consists of a pure triangular or rhombic shape in plan) or two vertical axes (10,11) that can be opened and/or work as a hinge.

Movable, movable wall container module system, polygonal or circular in columns

The innovation concerns a so-called movable wall container module system, which can be assembled in polygonal or circular columns, particularly suitable for setting up workstations and/or changing areas in public or private areas (such as offices, trade fair stands, information centers, supermarkets, fashion show areas, work and/or bedrooms, changing rooms, or the like).

The frequently occurring need for easily transportable, quickly set up and/or flexible open or closed work or changing rooms, or for a room with appropriately prepared work or changing facilities that enable office-like work or discreet changing, can, as far as is known, currently only be met by screens, wall module systems and container systems (either as right-angle box systems or as systems that cannot be easily moved and/or are not flexible).
This state of the art is not sufficiently economical in terms of time and/or space.

Since the increasing demand for volume-saving, flexible and multifunctional space, especially for workplaces or for changing rooms, cannot be met with the known, already invented systems, the innovation is based on the task of creating a system that meets this requirement.

This task is solved according to the innovation with a movable, movable wall-container module system, which can be assembled in a circular form in columns, thereby,
that a series of wall container modules, as closed shafts, which have at least one opening, can be connected to one another with different angles of rotation until the angle between two connected parts corresponds to the base angle of the triangular part of the module in plan, so that the modules can be assembled in a polygonal or circular position. Each wall container module consists of a hollow prism (with three or more lateral surfaces) or irregular prism or curved body with different opening options (doors, flaps, rotating or folding parts, or simple openings), which have at least one vertex angle in plan (recognizable in plan as a clearly geometrically separable but not spatially separable triangular part of the polygon), so that they can be assembled in a polygonal or circular position in order to form a

The modules are connected to one another by one (only if the module has a pure triangular or rhombic shape in plan) or two vertical axes that can be opened or work as a hinge.

Advantageous further developments and embodiments, which are explained in more detail in the special part of the following description, emerge from the subclaims.

Just to give you an idea of the size of a wall container module in a workspace or changing room area, this new type of wall container module has dimensions, without these being binding, of the following order of magnitude: per module 150cm x 20cm + 150cm x 43cm / 2 = 3000cm2 + 3397cm2 = 6397 cm2 = 0.63 m2 x 3 modules = 1.9191 m2 and 1.9191 m2 x 2m = 3.8382 m3 for 4.5 m of wall and up to 6 workstations or up to 6 changing spaces, and, if the modules are put together in a column, a prism of 1.9191 m2 and 3.8382 m3. With such exemplary dimensions, the modules stand upright. Basically, the modules, according to this invention, must be able to be assembled with at least part of their floor plan as a supplementary part of a polygon or a circle or an ellipse. (Example: Most space-saving form of the wall container module system for workplaces. Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Wall container module with mirror floor plan Fig. 1.1, Fig. 1.2, Fig. 2.1, Fig. 2.2,
Wall container module with cut floor plan to contain a true column or a specific spatial element (Fig. 1.3, Fig. 2.3).

The users can stay in both rooms (12,13) separated by the wall container modular system.

Exception: With the column design, users will only be able to stay outside the column.

The modules are not only rectangular in shape (only exception:

Square floor plan as mirrored, isosceles and right-angled triangular floor plan) not only when they are put together as a column, more space-efficient for the objects that can be accommodated (for an average size difference between the objects contained), but also in their open design for the space distribution (around the triangular floor plan shape, especially when the pointed corner has a significantly larger angle than 90 degrees).

The movable, movable wall-container module system, which can be assembled in a polygonal or circular form in columns (triangular column), is shown in Fig. 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d with its space-efficient form in each picture: floor plan (1), front view (2), rear view (3), side view (4), whereby the exemplary configurations only illustrate a part of the possibilities.

The movable, movable wall-container module system, which can be assembled polygonally or circularly in columns (triangular column), is shown in Fig.1.1, 1.2, 1.3 with exemplary different, prismatic shapes as wall-container modules in each picture: Floor plans in different configurations (-a, -b, -c).

The movable, movable wall-container module system, which can be assembled in polygonal or circular columns (triangular column), is shown in Fig.1.1.1a to 1.1.1&ogr; with its example possible use in each image: floor plan and isometric view, whereby the example workstation with a computer and flat screen and/or the example changing room with clothes hooks illustrate only part of the possibilities.
The shelves (17) are divided for illustrative purposes only.

The movable, movable wall container module system, which can be assembled in polygonal or circular columns (triangular columns), is shown in Fig. 1.1.2a to 1.1.4a in its example combinations in each image: floor plan, whereby the example wall container module connections only illustrate some of the possibilities. It should be noted that the open and closable joints with which the wall container modules are axially connected (e.g. Fig. 13) can connect the individual wall container modules and also flexibly combine several wall container module systems.

For such a wall container module system, with reference to (Fig.1 to 4) in particular, it is essential that several individual modules are connected in combination. These can be pushed together to form a single column or unfolded as a partition wall system. A single wall container module is a closed, hollow prism (5) with at least one door (14). This door can be both folded out and pivoted so that it functions like a table (15 or 33) (Fig. 1.1.1a to 1.1.1g and 1.1.1m to 1.1.1&ogr;). In the case of use as a changing room, this door has a coat hook (16) and also serves as a privacy screen (Fig. 1.1.1h). For the connection of several wall-

Container modules require at least one hinge axis (10), the most common combination requires two hinge axes (10, 11). The depth of the hinge system usually makes it necessary to create two hinge axes. The individual wall container modules can be freely equipped with shelves (17), drawers, storage boxes, hooks (e.g. 16), rotating (Fig. 9) or pull-out drawers (18) and/or openings.

The best possible solution for space-efficient use, i.e. as a flexible and mobile workspace, is offered by the wall container modules that can be assembled into triangular columns and have an irregular pentagonal basic shape (Fig. 1). The floor plan of such a module element is a pentagon with an obtuse angle of 120 degrees and two right angles. The different depths in the floor plan mean that the floor space can be used optimally for objects of different sizes (such as those that are ubiquitous). As in a cupboard, the objects are stored in a column shape (Fig. 1a), and unfolded (Fig. 1a to 1c) everything can be easily used in its place. Individual objects can still be secured using doors (14), drawers (18), etc. The obtuse angle of the floor plan also ensures the distance between two workstations for better freedom of movement.

The best possible solution for space-economical use, i.e. as a flexible and mobile changing room, is offered by the wall container modules that can be assembled into triangular to hexagonal (Fig. 1 to 4) columns.

Because the joints can be opened, the wall container modules can also be turned over so that the options from one side can also be used the other way round (Fig. 1.1.11).

The supporting structure of the wall container module can be built as a surface system (Fig. 7a and 7a.1) and/or a skeleton system (Fig. 7b and 7b.1). In the skeleton construction, individual supporting elements such as supports (35) and/or bars can be designed to be foldable (Fig. 15). This allows, for example, desk surfaces (15 and/or 33) to be created that can be used without being obstructed by supports.

The flexibility and mobility of the wall container module systems is achieved by means of floor-side ball bearings (27) (Fig. 14) and/or castors. At least two ball bearings/castors of each wall container module can be blocked (eg 45) to fix its position.
A further advantageous embodiment consists in that at least one door can be opened in different ways. As a hinged door (with corresponding dimensions) it can be used as a table, as a door that can be rotated about two axes of rotation (47,46) (Fig.8) it can be used as a

Can be used as a double table (33), as a multi-folding element (28) an opening can be opened as an advertising and/or information level (29) (Fig. 1.1.&EEacgr; and 1.1.11).

A further advantageous embodiment is that the wall container module system with the soundproofing system on the floor, ceiling and in the spaces between the wall container modules can be used as a partition wall with soundproofing over the entire height of the room (Fig. 11a and 11b). The soundproofing system (38) consists of soft insulating materials (39) which are interposed between two rigid surfaces (Fig. 12a and 12b).

A system that can be controlled (mechanically or manually) with ropes (42) and/or with air (with an air pump) can be arranged to relax the soft insulation (39) or to place it in an assembleable and disassemblable box (41).
The sound insulation system (38) can be designed to be mountable and dismountable (Fig.).
In order to reduce the height of the sound insulation system on the ceiling side, flatter wall container modules (31) are added to a reference height of less than 25 cm above the ceiling (Fig. 7a1, 7b1 and 12c).

The power cable connections of the wall container modules are integrated within the sound insulation system (38).

In order to use the wall container module system as a work space, these modules can be fitted with shelves, as shown in Fig. 5, for example. This way, computers (19), monitors (20), keyboards (21), CDs, books, etc. can easily find their place. Foldable chairs (34) can be stored in the wall container module system.

If, however, the wall container modular system is to be used as a changing room, clothing shelves, rotating coat hooks and drawers are integrated, see for example Fig. 6.

This means that coats (22), jackets (23), clothes (24), trousers (25), shirts (26), etc. can all find their place without any problem.

In any case, flexible cable ducts and shafts can be integrated into the walls, floors and/or skeleton structure of the wall container modules to supply the lighting and equipment system in the network.

Shelves can be added in the space between two wall container modules with additional shelves (37) Fig.10.

-13-

As shown in Fig. 1.1.11, with the inverted wall container module, two front desks can be used for one workstation so that, as happens, for example, when using a cash register, the cashier can serve the next customer in the time that one customer needs to sort money.
