" Caravan with swivel fitting for seating furniture"

The invention relates to a caravan with at least two double bench seats inside, in particular one self-propelled caravans.

Single armchairs, and are used in caravans of the type mentioned Double bench seats are usually only detachably attached to the floor of the caravan. Only for single armchairs a swivel fitting is used on various occasions so that this single armchair can be rotated. the The type of attachment of the seating furniture described limits the use of what is available Room with the furniture there. This is particularly important when there is less space in the Vehicle looks very uncomfortable.

The invention is therefore based on the object To propose caravan of the type described, the seating furniture is attached so that the existing seating in an optimal way and with the smallest space requirement and at the same time simplest Handling, the space available can be optimally used. The seat attachment should be like this be that the existing seats within the caravan quickly moved to different groups can be.

According to the invention this object is achieved in that each double bench is rotatable and eccentric to one Fixed axis of rotation is arranged on the floor of the car, the axes of rotation on the floor of the car in Direction of travel are arranged one behind the other. Such an arrangement of the double seats inside the

In the caravan, it is easily possible to use the double bench seats in the most varied of desired positions to bring by turning and swiveling. Physical exertion is not required for this required and the available space is optimally used. Cumbersome, annoying Assembly work is not required.

Further advantageous refinements of the inventive concept are given in the further. Claims two through nine The invention will now be based on the accompanying drawings, in which exemplary embodiments are illustrated are explained.

In FIG. 7, in section A-A according to FIG. 6, a J ^ de fitting used in the caravan according to the invention is shown shown as a single representation. A bearing plate 5 with a vertical axis of rotation 1 is on the floor 15 a vehicle or caravan 17 attached in a suitable manner. In the embodiment like a crank designed intermediate piece 7 has been brought into the illustrated crank-shaped shape as a tube and has at one end a bearing point 3 ', in which the vertical axis of rotation 1 of the bearing plate 15 can be rotated fits in.

At the other end of the intermediate piece 7, the intermediate piece 7 has a further bearing point 4 ¹ into which a vertical axis of rotation 2, which is arranged on a bearing plate 6, fits rotatably. The end shield 6 is in turn on the underside 13

one designed as a bench in the exemplary embodiment bilde.ten furniture 14 attached in a suitable manner.

The intermediate piece 7 is simply on the vertical axis of rotation 1 of the end shield with its crank-like end 5 or attached to the vertical axis of rotation 2 of the bearing plate 6, so that easy lifting is enough to break the connection. ' It is of course also possible to reverse the plug connection Design training, namely the vertical axis of rotation 1 or 2 as a hollow body and the bearing points 3 * or 4 'of the intermediate piece 7 as a plug-in axles. This does not affect the functional principle changed.

If a piece of furniture 14 designed as a bench is attached to a bearing plate 6 in the manner described and if a bearing plate 5 with a vertical axis of rotation 1 is also attached to the floor 15 of a vehicle 17 and both parts are connected to the intermediate piece 7 in the manner described, without It can also be seen that the vertical axis of rotation 1 is at a distance from the vertical axis of rotation 2, i.e. an eccentricity 12, so that a seat 14 fastened to the end shield 6 in the manner described can be moved on a circular path of radius 12 'around the vertical axis of rotation 1 can and because of their rotatable mounting in the bearing 4 'can maintain or change their angular position in relation to the vehicle 17, depending on which new position is to be retracted. In the figure 6 in the views a), b) and c) a sitting position is shown as an example.

In Figure 9, a rotary fitting is shown essentially in section B-B according to Figure 8 view a).

According to FIG. 9, a bearing plate 5 is in turn on the floor 15 of the caravan 17 in a suitable manner attached, which has a vertical axis of rotation 1 in the manner already described for FIG. A designed as a tube bent at right angles intermediate piece 8 is here as part of a crank " used, in which a crank pin 11 with the bearing point 3 is connected to the crank web 9. the The crank web 9 can be rotated on the vertical axis of rotation 1 via the bearing point 3 of the crank pin 11 stored.

The second crank pin 10 is formed at the free end of the crank web 9 as a displacement element 18 and can be pushed back and forth on the crank web 9 in the direction of arrow 19. This allows the Distance 12 and thus the eccentricity or the crank radius between the crank pin 10 with the Bearing point 4 and the vertical axis of rotation 2 of the bearing plate 6 mounted therein relative to the crank pin 11 can be changed. So this is the principle of a variable stroke crank. By doing Area in which the sliding element 18 should be movable on the crank arm 9, it is favorable if the crank web 9 is not circular, but profiled, for example with a square Cross-section, is designed. This enables a special anti-tipping device for the sliding element 18 be avoided. The sliding element 18 has a locking screw 20 on the side, with which the sliding element 18 in the desired position

can be determined, whereby the set distance 12 is fixed.

In the design according to FIG. 9, the seating furniture 14 attached to the bearing plate 6 can also be shown in FIG 7 already described, rotated about the vertical axis of rotation 1 with the set distance 12 while maintaining or changing its angular position with respect to vehicle 17 at the same time.

The crank pin 11 of the intermediate piece 8 also has a threaded eye 21 on its outside a corresponding internal thread into which a threaded bolt 22 is screwed, which on his outer end is provided with a twist grip 23. This makes it possible to use the intermediate piece 8 in any rotational position by clamping by means of the threaded bolt 22, which is via the rotary handle 23 is screwed to determine. Such a device for locking in a desired 'rotational position can of course also be provided at the bearing point 4 of the other crank pin 10. Such locking devices can of course also be provided in the design according to FIG.

The entire design of the rotary fitting does not necessarily have to be built in such a way that the one used in each case Intermediate piece for producing the eccentricity can be seen from the outside as a crank. It is quite possible - but not shown in the exemplary embodiments - the intermediate piece, for example, as Form disc with eccentrically arranged bearing points. For this purpose, for example, the end shield 5 placed on a foot-like stand

Ρ · ί ·: σ ί:::

which in turn is attached to the floor 15 of the vehicle 17. By raising "the end shield." 15 the corresponding bending of a crank can be avoided. It is then sufficient in this Area of a disk-like design of the intermediate piece with a suitable bearing bore as a bearing point. It can be useful here to move the vertical bearing journal 1 into radial and axial directions To guide roller bearings. The disk used as an intermediate piece can be an identically designed bearing point also have for the vertical bearing pin 2. By using such an intermediate washer, the the same goal is achieved as by using a crank-like spacer.

In a caravan 17, for example in a self-propelled so-called. Camper van like the one in : f is shown schematically in FIGS

is, there are usually at least 2 double seats 14

}. and 16 provided. By equipping with the

■ described rotary fittings succeed when the end shields 5 on the floor 15 of the vehicle 17 in Are arranged one behind the other in the direction of travel, in an easily recognizable manner, the double bench seats 14 and 16 to be arranged one behind the other in the direction of travel, so that a seat arrangement is created as in a bus. This arrangement is shown in FIG. 3.

If you now swivel the double bench seats 14 and 16,

starting from an arrangement according to FIG. 3, slightly from

away from the side wall and 'rotates both seats by 90 °

to the left and then swivel both seats backwards in this position, creating a double seat f 'bench in the sofa arrangement according to FIG. 1.
