System for the subdivision of interiors, especially in * ships *

The present invention relates to a System for subdividing interior spaces, especially on ships. The object of the invention is therein, with a number of prefabricated modules with standard dimensions walls and ceilings of ship cabins.

This object is achieved in that after marking the boundaries of the space to be closed on the ceiling or on the underside of a deck A at these markings flat iron can be attached and in correspondence with these on the floor or deck B, which is parallel to deck A, profiles with U-shaped Cross-section with a straight middle section

- 2 309827/0279

be attached with the flat iron brackets record, on which open profiles with the lower U-shaped profiles opposite mouths be attached, between which and the profiles panels of partition walls are held, the Ceiling is formed by panels that have side panels that are attached to the upper profiles can be.

One of the new features of the invention is that the surfaces or panels or plates of the The ceiling of each cabin must be installed first.

The joining of the various panels or plates To create the subdivisions of ship cabins or other rooms, the following procedure is carried out:

1. delimitation and marking of the dimensions of the room, e.g. a ship's cabin, on the underside of the corresponding ship's deck, on which markings (which can be carried out with any known method) 3? flat iron can be welded, whose function will be explained while

309827/0279

on the same vertical plane of these flat irons on the surface that forms the floor of the cabin is to be fastened profiles with a U-shaped cross-section, between and in combination with the Flake iron attached profiles to the panels forming the walls are attached.

2 · Attachment of the lugs to the ceiling, for what purpose a kind of bench iron in which the grooved profiles are attached to the welded flake iron which receive the upper edges of the panels forming the walls.

Because of the features of the assembly of the panels, the distance between the profiles must be on the bench irons on the flat iron of the ceiling and the sole of the profiles with a U-shaped cross-section, which correspond to the floor with those of the ceiling, must be greater than the height of the panels, as this is the case when the panels are installed the upper edges are first introduced into the profiles of the ceiling, up to the sole of the same. In this position, the lower edges of the panels remain above the legs of the U-shaped profiles on the floor,

- 4 - 309827/0279

so that the panels can be inserted into the interior of this U. After that the panels are dropped and adapt to these profiles on the ground in their entire width. In this way the panels remain likewise between the legs of the profiles on the ceiling, but with the corresponding upper edge of the same has no contact with the sole of these profiles on the ceiling.

The profiles that. pick up the top edges of the panels, have side inwardly folded extensions on to receive latch-like strips that form part of the panels of the ceiling, which in an inventive Cabin cover the parts of the assembly.

The connections of the various panels, e.g. crossed, at an angle or similar, are made with the help of support beams carried out, which have corresponding 3? form with the various connection forms. To this end the panels themselves have indentations on their vertical edges, which practically the lengthways occupy the entire thickness of the same, in which depressions said support beams are partially inserted.

309827/0279

One embodiment of the invention is based on the fact that Panels are provided that contain the elements and accessories such as windows that are considered necessary. Others have built-in sinks with the necessary inlet and outlet plumbing dea water. Other panels have cables for lights or switches

The height of the panels forming the walls is always the same same, while the width thereof may vary in accordance with the circumstances. Even if the Most of the panels have the same width, others are provided with gradually decreasing widths, to cover those gaps that are smaller than the width of a normal panel.

Another embodiment of the invention relates to Shape of the entrance door to the cabins. On the top frame of the door is a register box for the various Cables provided, which are covered and can be checked using a removable cover.

At the bottom of the door is a transverse section the same width as the door gap,

- 6 309827/0279

which is fixed to the floor so that the door itself does not make direct contact with the floor of the cabin

A ventilation grille is provided in the lower zone of the! Door and above it a panel for emergencies that forms part of the door and separated therefrom by means of a pressure exerted from inside the cabin can be used to create a photo exit in this way, As I said, this emergency exit can only be opened from the inside, but not from the outside.

Embodiments of the invention are explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In these demonstrate:

Fig. 1 is an elevation in section of an inventive Subdivision. In this view you can see how each panel is attached to the walls, with the top and bottom edge of the panel in profiles attached to the ceiling and floor resting that coincide with respect to a vertical plane} the ceiling and the floor can be two parallel decks of a ship. It can also be seen how the panels of the cabin ceiling be attached.

Pig. Figure 15 is an enlarged section on line E-P of Pig. 1 to clarify the attachment a hot exit of a door according to FIG Invention.

From Pig. 1 shows that tarpaulin iron 1 is attached to the underside A of the deck of a ship, namely at the corresponding markings on the underside, of deck A, which sheet iron 1 the room "limit that the cabin to be" built will occupy. In accordance with this tarpaulin iron 1 but on deck B (parallel to deck A), which is the floor of the cabin will form, "a profile 2 is provided, the section of which has a U-shape with a straight central section. A number of brackets 3 are attached to the tarpaulin iron 1, with their upper * end 4 in the tarpaulin iron 1 to be hooked. The lower part 5 of these brackets 5 receives the projections 8, which from the central section of another grooved profile 6

- 10 309827/0279

stick out that resembles an inverted U. This U 6 expands in its free legs and forms a new U with parallel legs au 6, which extended legs in the form of loops 7 leak inwards.

By arranging the profiles 6 in accordance with the profiles 2 on the floor can be attached to the various panels 15 that form the partitions of the Form ship cabin.

The arrangement of the panels 15 is carried out as follows: The upper edge of the panel 15 is inserted into the grooved profiles 6 so that after reaching the The sole of this profile 6 is the lower edge of the panels 15 can be inserted into the free legs of the floor profiles 2, then the panels 15 are dropped and thus reach the bottom of the named profiles 2. From the foregoing it can be seen that the height of the panels 15 is smaller than the distance between the Soles of the lower and upper profiles 2 and 6, to be precise by the amount of the free legs of the profiles 2.

By arranging the profiles 6 by means of brackets 3 on the ceiling is the delimitation of the room to be closed

which is covered with panels.

In Fig. 1 it is shown that the profiles 6 at their Legs have elongated notches through which a better fastening of the panels 15 is achieved.

The profiles 6 have a sufficient width at their mouths to the side ribs of preferably metallic plates 9 that form the ceiling, these ribs have loops.10, which under lighter! Snap into place and over the loops 7 of the The mouth of the * Profiles 6 come to rest «, the plates of the ceiling 9 contain a refractory material 11.

Normally, the plates 9 do not form the whole Area of the ceiling, rather it is a module, and it is therefore intended that the zones in which no vertical partitions are provided, the profiles 12 shown in Fig. 2 are attached, which practically correspond in their function to the profiles 6 for attaching the panels for the walls. How out 2, the width of the mouth of the profiles 12 is dimensioned such that it is the introduction of the Ribs of two plates 9 allowed in the same

horizontal plane are adjacent to each other, so as to ensure uniformity to achieve the horizontality of the ceiling.

The profiles 6 are arranged along the space to be closed, in which apart from the [partitions normally There are gaps e.g. for the doors to the different cabins, in which rooms the arrangement of the Profile 6 is continued, so that a designated 13 part is provided to close the mouth of the same is that in Pig. 3 is shown in elevation, and laterally on pawls 14 which are arranged in the longitudinal direction are and also lay over the loops 7, so that the central portion of these parts 13 closes the gap between the panels 9 of the ceiling.

Since the Pig. 1 walls of panels 15 shown Separations between the different cabins and also the corridors to reach them are at the Assembly with 16 designated parts provided as foot panels, which are fastened to the panels 15 by means of screws or the like.

In the subdivisions provided according to the invention, openings for ventilation and light entry are in the form of

309827/0279 - 13 -

Windows provided, for which purpose the panels shown in Fig. 4 and generally designated 17 "are used. These panels have an extension including a right angle, so that between one of the legs of the right angle and the panel 17 itself, for example A light source could also be installed at this angle. In order to preserve the appearance of the cabin, a further panel 18 is provided in this case, which has an L-shaped cross-section that is attached to its horizontal wing has a joint 19 which can snap into a plate 20 which is anchored to the window opening on the lower side of the panel 17. The plate 20 consists of two parallel sections which are connected by a short section Panel 18, the attachment of which is of course optional, a kind of stepped heel that with a footpanel eel like 16 can be provided. As can be seen in Figure A , the lower end of the vertical rib of the panel 18 is mounted in a similar channel as the lower end of the various panels to form the partition walls.

309827/0279

The partition walls of a ship's cabin, a living room, of a dining room et it. are not always on the same Level, so that the various connections between the panels can be easily carried out can »is a series of in Pig. 5 is provided with the following structural features. In all cases, the panels for the walls face the side edges when viewed vertically rectangular panels have a notch that runs over the entire extent of these sides. If now several panels are to be connected aligned, are attached between two tubular elements 21, the square cross-section, so that these tubular elements 21 practically between two successive Panels are covered.

Palis between two panels creates a larger separation gap remains as the sides of the support beam 21, this gap is not sufficient for the attachment of another panel, another support beam 22 is used attached, which is also tubular but rectangular in cross-section, with its smaller sides between two consecutive panels.

Pure the corners of the cabins or other rooms

- 15 309827/0279

it is contemplated that another type of support beam 23 that are transversely drawn Pipes deal with two equal legs that enclose a right angle, the outer one Edge is rounded; as can be seen from Fig. 5, a perfect appearance is achieved and at the same time further fastening elements between the panels and the support beams can be dispensed with.

Finally, support beams 24 are provided for the connection of panels in an i'-real Y / inkel support beam 24, "in which it is tubular profiles with a cross-section in the form of a double T, whose legs of equal length are adapted to the notches of the panels to be connected will.

In Figs. 6 to 10 a number of panels are shown, have the same length and width but have different functional characteristics. The one shown in FIG Panel 25 contains a cable section embedded in the material, on one side for connection to the mains, and on the other side is a socket or some other electrical power Element provided. The panel 26 of Figure 8 comprises e.g.

the. Connection for a light source, while in panel 17 of the Pig. 9 an opening with a frame for a Window such as that shown in Fig. 4 is provided. The panel 27 shown in Fig. 10 has a Washbasin as well as a toilet cabinet or mirror, with the lines for the and exit of the water in. The panel are embedded.

The cabins are accessed via the " Door shown 11-15. This door is adapted to a frame, which consists of support beams 28 and 29, which are approximately rectangular tubular profiles one edge of which extends in the direction of one of the larger sides of the rectangle in a section 38 extended, as can be seen from the partial view according to FIG. These profiles 28 and 29 form the sides of the frame and are connected by means of a type of box, which is indicated by 30, and by means of a Profile in the form of an L 31 to the parts of the ceiling of the Cabin is connected. The box has a kind of lid 32, which is a plate with a U-shaped Cross-section is, the free legs have folds to allow this cover 32 to snap into place

- 17 309827/0279

Allow pressure into the body of the box 30. Since this cover 32 is removable, the cables 33, which are derived, for example, from the G-ang of a ship, and led via the box 30 into the interior of the cabin are monitored, as in Pig. 13 shown, these cables 33 can lead to a switch 34, the is attached to the underside of the profiles 28 or 29 of the door frame and when actuated the lighting of the Cabin can trigger.

The profiles 28 and 29, which form the frame of the door, are connected to further profiles 35, as from Hg. can be seen, which are the end pieces of the partition panels 15 of the cabin. The profiles 35 are attached to the floor and ceiling beforehand, thus limiting the space of the door leaf.

The door itself consists of a panel. 36, which is on a its zones, preferably in the lower half, have a rectangular opening onto which a small panel 37 is applied, which forms an emergency exit and in its entire circumference the opening in the panel 36 of the door is adapted. When the door is closed, an exit can be created in an emergency by removing the panel 37

for what purpose a pressure is exerted on this panel 37 from the inside to the outside. In the Mounting this panel 37 is of course adapted to the die of the panel 36 of the door.

Below the panel 37 of the emergency exit, a ventilation grille 39 is provided, the structural characteristics of which chafia from the! Fig. 14 can be seen; this grid consists of a kind of blind with slats are directed inwards or outwards and divergent from top to bottom. This arrangement is instantaneous with the already used doors for dividing prefabricated walls.

All lighting and power tapping cables to the interior of the cabin enter the cabin via the distribution box 30, which is at the top of the door frame from which the various cables for sockets, ceiling lighting, wall lighting, etc. and switches go out.

The stop of the door when it closes is formed by the extensions 38 shown in FIG. 13, so that the corresponding side edge of the panel 36 contacted with one of these extensions 38, which lead to one of the

309827/0279

Profiles 28 or 29 belong, which form the vertical sides of the door frame ".
