Description

The invention relates to a caravan with a housing and a chassis supporting this, which has two spars has / which protrude converging to the front over the housing and with each other and with a hitch are connected, and with a built into the housing and accessible via an opening in the housing end wall Storage space for, among other things, upright gas bottles.

Whereas in the past the gas bottles were placed in one of the front wall of the housing and on the chassis bars Dormant special bottle crates were housed, these are in newer models of the aforementioned Storage space added. It extends over almost the entire width of the vehicle and is supported accordingly by a wide flap completed. Other objects can be placed to the left and right of the bottles will.

The flat floor of the storage space lies on the well-known caravans just like the floor of the housing Holmen on, the height of the storage space at least corresponds to the height of the bottle. Step inside the caravan Storage space appears as a box, which is therefore considerably higher than the usual seating and lying area in Caravan. The box surface (ceiling of the storage space) could therefore only be used as a filing ledge. Lying areas that are also seating areas in the table area had to begin or end in their longitudinal extension at the storage space. One was thus, especially with short ones Vehicles, with the arrangement of the various fixtures in the longitudinal direction, very cramped.

The invention is based on the object, while maintaining the accommodation of the gas bottles on the * To create more space in the longitudinal direction inside the trailer face.

This object is achieved according to the invention on the basis of a caravan of the type described in the introduction, that the storage space is a support device for two, which is lowered below the floor level of the housing and between the spars Has gas bottles and the distance between the bars in the area of the support device is twice the diameter of a Gas bottle exceeds.

This suggestion boils down to lowering the gas bottles, i.e. the storage space in the space between to extend the spars into or possibly also over the lower edge of the spars downwards and him otherwise lower. As a result, the cover wall of the storage space, which may be inclined towards the rear, can be used be arranged so low that a seat or reclining cushion is placed on them while maintaining the usual seat heights Top wall can be placed. The top surface of the entire storage space can thus be used as a seating or lying surface and looking in the longitudinal direction one gains about 30 cm (corresponding to the diameter of a gas cylinder) for others Internals. This improves the room layout quite considerably.

In the various known chassis have the spars converging to the front in the area of Housing front wall or the storage space is too small a distance to two gas bottles standing next to each other to insert. It is therefore proposed that the spars in the vicinity of the support device change direction have, such that the front of the spar sections

ι ♦ * It · »t

the support device included angle greater than that of the spar sections behind the support device included angles. The change in direction can appear as a kink or more or less rounded curve or Represent bend. The spar is preferably made of individual sections at the relevant points on a miter welded together. There is no need for the rest of the chassis structure in the area of the axle or the tandem axles Change to be made.

Most caravans have a brake lever near the towing hitch Parking brake, at the lower end of which a brake rod that runs to the rear in the middle of the chassis is hinged is. If this brake rod runs above the ground level of the support device, it does not matter, because in this case it penetrates the carrying device and runs between the inserted gas bottles. It is appropriate Provide an additional guide for the brake rod, for example behind the support device *

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained below with the aid of the drawing. In detail shows

Fig. 1 is a schematic partial longitudinal section of the front part of a caravan and

Fig. 2 shows the plan of the attachment part according to FIG.

The chassis of the caravan shown comprises essentially two spars (i and 2) of C-shape Cross-section, a hitch (3) and an axle, not shown in detail, with wheels (4). From the The bottom of the housing is marked with (5) and the slightly inclined end wall with (6). Behind the bulkhead is a

storage compartment (8) that can be closed by means of a * flap (7) built-in that extends over the entire width of the vehicle and opposite the vehicle interior through a vertical one Partition wall (9) and a sloping backward sloping one Top wall (10) is separated.

The storage compartment (8) also has a floor that is the same area as the rest of the vehicle floor (5), but only in the Areas between the side walls (11) of the housing and the bars (1 and 2). In the storage area between the Holmen (1 and 2) is a basket-like support frame made of flat iron (12, 13 and 14), in which two gas bottles (15) are used. This support frame is attached to the partition (9) and the bars (1 and 2) and in the example protrudes downward beyond the lower surface of the spars (1 and 2). As a result, the gas bottles are (15) arranged so low in relation to the vehicle floor (5) that there is still a seat or reclining cushion above the top wall (10) can be arranged. Storage boxes (16) which carry cushions (17) are provided behind the partition (9). on the top wall (10) a wedge-shaped cushion (18) is placed, which the lying surfaces of the cushions (17) to to the front wall (6) extended. This creates a room length of about 30 cm in. For lying or sitting Vehicle longitudinal direction won.

Alternatively, the top wall (10) could also be arranged horizontally. Just make sure that the Gas bottles can also be removed.

As usual, a brake lever (19) is mounted in the area of the towing device (3) from its lower end a brake rod (20) extends to the vehicle axle or to the wheels (4) to the rear. This brake rod runs between the gas bottles (15) and is behind the support frame by means of a on the floor (5) fixed guide bracket (21) held and guided.

As FIG. 2 shows, the spars (1 and 2) at the hitch (3) initially run in a large one Angles apart. In the area of the gas bottles they show a slight kink (22) in plan view, so that the included angle is smaller in the further course - In this way it can also be at a relatively small Vehicle length enough space can be gained between the bars (1 and 2) to insert two gas bottles deeply can.
