Building element3^stem for wall and/or seating furniture design

The invention relates to a building element system for wall and/or seating furniture design.

It is known, especially at train stations, to form two benches with opposite backs of backrests as a single structural unit. A support frame is provided for the two seat parts and the two backrests of the benches, which is designed to accommodate a display arranged above the backrests and extended upwards beyond the backrests. The backrests, the seat parts, the display and the support frame are firmly connected to one another. Advertising and information notices are usually applied to the display.

Furthermore, benches are known in which containers are arranged under the seat parts. The seat parts limit the containers at the top and are designed to be foldable so that these containers can be opened.

Furthermore, decorative elements are known which cover the walls and ceilings bordering the guest rooms, particularly in guest rooms.

The invention is based on the object of designing a component system for ceiling, wall and/or seating furniture in such a way that a changing and individual design of the seating furniture and/or the walls and/or the ceilings is made possible in a simple manner.

This problem is solved by the features of claim 1.

The component system according to the invention is now provided with components that are designed as two- or three-dimensional decorative elements for wall and/or seating furniture design. The components can be interchangeably connected to wall pictures and/or parts of the seating furniture and/or can be interchangeably stored in them. This makes it easy to change the components and thus the decoration.

For example, the building elements are exchanged or the back and front sides of the building elements are changed so that the previous back becomes the front and the previous front becomes the back. To change the decor by changing the front and back sides, the back and front sides of the building elements each have a two- or three-dimensional decor. In particular, the decor of the building elements as part of wall pictures and as part of seating furniture is coordinated in motif and design.
25

According to one embodiment of the invention, the component is arranged as a backrest in the seating furniture.

To easily change the motif in the seating furniture, the component in the seating furniture is mounted so that it can rotate about a substantially horizontal axis.

It is particularly useful that the rotating component serving as a backrest is secured against rotation by the seat of the seating furniture. For this purpose, the seat of the seating furniture can be folded from one sitting position to another, whereby the

50.665 DE .·""l'ßd/Ur · '..'· ·..''. 10.11.1995

Seat part in the sitting position secures the component against rotation about the horizontal axis in one direction of rotation and in the other position enables rotation in this direction of rotation.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the component is placed in a frame and surrounded by it. This results in a wide range of design options, as can be seen from the following.

In particular, if the component according to an embodiment of the invention has a mesh made of wire or similar, which is supported and enclosed by the frame, the decoration of the component can be individually designed, quickly changed and supplemented. The mesh offers a simple attachment option for decorative parts and also for active and/or passive lighting devices.

For example, a decorative panel can also be connected to the mesh.

In order to be able to easily connect the frame with the component to the wall and/or a piece of seating furniture, according to a further embodiment of the invention, this has a recess on the inside for receiving fastening means. It is advantageous to form this recess as a groove running around the inside of the frame.

In addition or as an alternative, the frame can also be provided with fastening devices such as rings, hooks or similar. These fastening devices then enable easy installation to a wall, ceiling and/or seating furniture.

&Tgr; ti

The flexibility in the design of the decoration of the components is also increased by the fact that at least two frames arranged next to each other and connected to each other are connected to each other with a component, whereby the abutting beams of the frames have a smaller depth.

The beams with a smaller depth allow a decorative panel covering the two components to be attached to these components and thus become part of both components. The thickness of the decorative panel essentially corresponds to the difference between the depth of the frames and the depth of the beams with a smaller depth.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the component system is provided with several components in different seating furniture and/or wall areas, whereby several components for the seating furniture and/or several components for the wall areas have uniform dimensions. This means that, for example, the components of seating groups and their wall areas with coordinated motifs and design can be exchanged with components of other seating groups and their wall areas with other coordinated motifs and different design. It is also possible to exchange components of guest rooms with a uniform design with other components of guest rooms with a different uniform design. This means that the design and motifs of one guest room can be introduced into the other guest room and vice versa.

With active and passive lighting, numerous other design options are available with the component system. In this respect, the components are in accordance with

Figures 1 to 6 show a first embodiment of a bench seat 10 with an interchangeable backrest 12.

The backrest 12 is provided on one side 14 with a decoration featuring a crown and on the other side 16 with a decoration featuring a checkerboard pattern, dice and cards. The backrest 12 is mounted laterally in side panels 18 and 20 so that it can rotate about a horizontal axis. The decoration can be two- or three-dimensional and can be part of wall pictures and/or other seating furniture.

A seat part 22 of the bench seat 10 is also mounted in the side panels 18 and 20 so that it can rotate around a horizontal axis. In its sitting position - Fig. 1 and 3 - the seat part 22 blocks the rotational movement of the backrest 12 in one direction, see Fig. 6.

From this sitting position, the seat part 22 can be rotated about a horizontal axis into a further unfolded position, see Fig. 2. In this further unfolded position of the seat part 22, the backrest 12 can now be freely rotated about its horizontal axis and in this way the one side 14 with the crown, which initially formed the front, can be rotated so far that it now forms the back of the seat.

50.665 DE ·"· ··' «BO/fer ^: '··* *··* · 10.11.1995

The other side 16 with the chessboard, which was previously the back side, then becomes the front side.

After the backrest 12 has been rotated in the manner just described, the seat part 22 is folded back into its sitting position, in which the seat part 22 blocks rotation of the backrest 12 in one direction.

The seat part 22 rests on side strips 24.

To stabilize the bench seat 10, the two side panels 18 and 20 are connected to one another in the area of the backrest 12 below the seat part 22 via a cross brace 26. In order not to block the motifs of the backrest 12 protruding upwards and downwards - crown and chessboard - when turning , the cross brace 26 is provided with a recess 28 in the area of these motifs.

In this embodiment, the seat part 22 is designed as a solid plate. Alternatively, however, slats or seat cushions can also form the seat part 22.

In addition, a pin can be inserted into a hole in the side panels 18 and 20 as well as into a hole in the backrest 12 as an additional safeguard against twisting of the backrest 12 - not shown here.

The backrest 12 is provided with pivot pins on the sides (not shown here), which are arranged concentrically to the horizontal axis of rotation of the backrest 12 in bearings in the side walls 18 and 20.

The bearings for these pivot pins in the side walls 18 and 20 are each connected to a type of

50.665 DE '-" "'"BbZfer*. *.·''..' : 10.11.1995

Bayonet lock so that the backrest can on the one hand be easily removed from the seat 10 with its pivot pin and reinserted, i.e. be replaced, and on the other hand is securely mounted in the side bolsters 18 and 20.

Figures 7 and 8 show a further embodiment of the invention with a bench 10. A wall part, a decorative display 30a, which consists of two frames 32 and 34 with wire mesh 36, is connected to the bench 10.

The bench seats 10 are essentially designed in the same way as the bench seat 10 described with reference to Figures 1 to 6 and are therefore provided with the same reference numerals. Only the side panels 18 and 20 have recesses 38 and the seat part 22 is provided with several slats.

With the decorative display 30a removed, the bench seat 10 can be changed in a corresponding manner from the motif of the bench seat 10 according to Figure 7 to the motif according to Figure 8 by folding the seat part from the sitting position to another position and rotating the backrest 12 about its pivot pins.

The decorative display 30a is screwed to the seat 10. By loosening the screws (not shown), the decorative display 30a is removed from the seat and can be replaced by another decorative display.

However, it is also possible to have the butterfly motif shown in Figure 7 on one side 40 of the decorative display 30a and the

50.665 EN »·· ··'-Bb/Isr: *..' *..* : 10.11.1995

-.&igr;&agr;.-

Brewery motif is available. To change it, the decorative display 30 simply needs to be turned by 180°.

The detailed structure of the decorative display 30 is illustrated in Figures 9 to 15, which show different embodiments of decorative displays 30a to 30h.

Figure 9 shows one half of the decorative display 30a. The wire mesh 36 is inserted into the frame 32. The wire mesh 36 is clamped into the frame. For this purpose, a clamping part 44 is inserted into a recess 46 of the frame 32 and is held in place by screws not shown here, see Figure 11.

The heel 46 is incorporated into the frame 32 between its front and its inner side.

The clamping part 44 is arranged circumferentially in the frame 32, so that the wire mesh 36 is held accordingly circumferentially in the frame 32 in the shoulder 46 which is also provided circumferentially.

In the area of the inside of the frame 32 that is remote from the shoulder 46, a groove 48 is provided that runs around the frame 32. Fastening means for the frame 32, such as hooks 50, can easily engage in this groove 48.

According to Figure 11, the decorative display 30a is attached to the wall 52 via the hook 50 screwed into the wall 52. The hook 50 in turn engages in the groove 48 running around the frame 32.

The decorative display 30a can therefore be connected both to a bench 10 and to the wall 52.

Figure 10 shows a square embodiment of a decorative display 30b. This decorative display 30b is constructed in the same way as the decorative display 30a just described and is therefore provided with the same reference numerals.

Another embodiment of a square decorative display 30c is shown in Figure 12. The decorative display 30c is provided with a plate 54 which is applied to the wire mesh 36. The plate 54 is fastened in the wire mesh 36 by means of screws 56, washers 58 and lock nuts 60 engaging in the plate 54.

However, it is also possible to mount the plate 54 behind the wire mesh 36 , for example as a background for decorative parts connected to the wire mesh 36. This type of mounting is indicated by dashed lines.

Figures 14 and 15 show another decorative display 30d, which consists of two square frames 32 and 34 with wire mesh 36. The two firmly connected and abutting beams 62 and 64 of the two frames 32 and 34 are narrower in cross-section, so that they are spaced apart from an envelope of the front of the decorative display 30d, see Figure 15.

A plate 66 is connected to the wire mesh 36 of the two frames 32 and 34 via screws 68, washers 70 and 72, both to the wire mesh 36 of the frame 32 and to the wire mesh 36 of the frame 34.

50.665 DE ·:·· .·* ..Bb/kr*. '..* "..· : 10.11.1995

The plate 66 has a thickness which essentially corresponds to the distance between the two beams 62 and 64 and the envelope of the front of the decorative display 30d.

Both frames 32 and 34 are each provided with a circumferential groove 48 and are otherwise designed in accordance with the already described embodiments of the decorative displays 30a to 30c.

Figures 16 to 20 show further embodiments for a decorative display 30e to 30h. These are intended for ceilings of guest rooms and have appropriately designed fastening means for this purpose. The decorative display 30e is constructed in accordance with the previous embodiments and is therefore provided with the same reference numerals.

A screw ring 74 is screwed into the frame 32 from the rear of the frame 32, see Figure 17.

Figure 18 shows a triangular frame 76 with wire mesh 36 and plate 78.

The decorative display 30g - Fig. 19 - is also triangular, but in contrast to the other already described embodiments of decorative displays 30a to 30f, it consists entirely of a decorative plate.

The decorative display 30h shown in Figure 20 is constructed in the same way as the decorative display 3Oe, but is square in shape.

The decorative displays 30a to 30h can, as mentioned, be directly connected to a bench 10 or to

50.665 DE "·· .·* ..Bb/tsr: '..* *..' I 10.11.1995

the wall of a guest room in the manner described. In addition, the decorative displays 30a to 30h can also be used for ceiling design. The rings 74 are hung in corresponding hooks in ceilings, for example in guest rooms.

Of course, the walls and ceilings can also be covered and decorated with the decorative displays 30a to 30h independently of the benches 10. The design of the decoration of the decorative displays 30a to 30h and the backrests 12 of the benches 10 in a guest room are, however, coordinated with each other in terms of motif and design.

By changing the plates 54, 66 and 78, the motif and design of the decorative displays 30a to 30h can be easily changed and by turning the backrests 12 of the benches 10, the decor and motifs of the benches 10 can be easily changed.

According to an embodiment of the invention not shown here, active lighting devices, such as halogen spotlights or other lamps, as well as passive lighting devices, such as reflectors, can be incorporated into the decorative displays 30. These are particularly easy to attach to the wire mesh and can be integrated into corresponding recesses in decorative panels.

Figures 21 and 22 show a further embodiment of the invention in side view and top view.

In this embodiment, two bench seats 10 are connected to footrests 82 via additional seat parts 80 connected to the side bolsters 18 and 20. In addition, between the two side bolsters 18 and

50.665 DE .:.*. !"..&Bgr;&udigr;/kr: ^: .. ^{: :} .. ^: "·' 10.11.1995

·

Connecting parts 84 are provided, which serve as backrests for the other seat parts 80. The benches 10 have foldable seat parts 22 and rotatable backrests 12. The backrests 12 can thus be changed quickly and easily in the manner shown in Figures 1 to 6.

It is also possible to arrange a decorative display 30a to 30h as a room divider between the benches 10 of this arrangement. In addition, the walls and ceilings can be covered with decorative displays 30a to 30h, whereby the decorations of the decorative displays 30a to 30h and the backrests 12 of the benches 10 are coordinated in terms of motif and design.

Figures 23 and 24 show a further embodiment of a bench seat 10 with decorative display 30i or 30j.

The backrest 12 and the seat part 22 can be rotated and folded in the manner described.

In this embodiment, the seat part 22 is padded and the side bolsters 18 and 20 are solid.

The decorative display 3Oi is provided with a decorative plate which is connected to the wire mesh 36 in the manner described.
30

The decorative display 3Oj is constructed in the same way as the decorative display 30a. The maypole is connected to the two beams 62 and 64 and the figures are connected to the wire mesh.
