Abstract

Camping and multipurpose platform for use as a tent floor, awning floor, camper awning floor and caravan awning floor, and for use as a platform for other projecting structures and superstructures or usable merely as a platform, which is quick and easy to set up, is light in weight and can be stacked. In an alternative embodiment, the platform according to the invention is formed with the aid of self-contained panels (1/2/3), which can be assembled to form any desired surface, the desired platform being raised above its foundation, in particular the ground, by means of "integrated pillars" (4/5/6/7/8). The fixed connection of the individual panels is achieved by interfitting, lockable connection pillars at the edge (5/6) or at the corners (7/8) of the panels. Unevennesses of the foundation can be corrected with the aid of "level-compensating elements". <IMAGE>

Description

The invention relates to a lifted from a subsurface, in particular soil, easy to transport, quick and easy to set up without special previous knowledge, can be used as desired and is light in weight, consisting of individual combinable elements, so that an arbitrarily large platform can be erected. This platform, which can also be made from a single piece that meets the requirements just mentioned, can be used wherever a surface = platform that is lifted from an underground, in particular the ground, is required. This results in a variety of uses, such as
- as a platform for superstructures and superstructures of all types and sizes;
- huts, tents in general; as a pure platform of any size without superstructure for all possible purposes;
- But in particular, and this is the main aim of the invention, as a PLATFORM FOR CAMPING ZWEKKE, in particular as a tent floor, awning floor, combicamp awning floor, caravan awning floor, .....

As far as the camping area is concerned, there is nothing comparable in the area of the tent floor or the awning floor.

Existing tent floors in the form of plastic tarpaulins, such as those used for inner tents or sleeping tents, lie directly on the ground and are therefore associated with many disadvantages: low cold insulation, unevenness in the ground are transmitted, susceptibility to perforation and tearing and, as a result, penetration of the Rainwater from below, water permeability increasing stress as a result of material fatigue, heavy stress on the lawn underneath and consequent death, severe pollution of the underside of the tent floor due to soil moisture and rainwater, ....

Combicamp awnings, caravan awnings, awnings in general, as well as all tents themselves, except that their inner or sleeping tents have no floor at all and have direct contact with the lawn or ground. This in turn brings with it a number of disadvantages: no cold and soil moisture insulation, no protection against the ingress of rain water as a result of puddles outside the tent or awning, no protection against dirt on the ground, no protection against small animals, bumps on the floor become fully effective, heavy use of the Lawn, ....

So far, attempts have been made to counter these disadvantages with carpets, mats, foils and the like. How unsatisfactory these solutions are, however, is shown by every heavy thunderstorm when putting the tent and awning under water. At this point at the latest, every camper would like a basic solution to this problem.

The permanent camper has previously laid stone slabs, a wooden floor or similar in his awning. On vacation in another place, however, these aids are useless for him.

The object of the invention is therefore to create a camping or multi-purpose platform which is raised from the ground, in particular the ground, for the following purposes:

Protection against the cold of the ground, protection against moisture in the ground, protection against the ingress of rainwater as a result of puddles outside the tent or awning, protection against dirt on the ground, protection against small animals on the ground, compensation for uneven floors and thus creating a flat contact surface, protecting the lawn and achieving other positive effects, which result from the circumstance of a platform lifted off a subsurface, in particular ground.

Furthermore, the invention has for its object that said platform through the use of appropriate materials, such as. Recycled plastic that is light in weight and can be assembled and disassembled quickly and easily without special previous knowledge.

Finally, the object of the invention is that the said platform can be stowed or stacked well. This can be accomplished in a number of ways, e.g. by means of plate elements that can be retracted into each other. As a result, a minimum of storage space is required with little bulkiness, thus allowing easy transport in the caravan, on or in the Combicamp, in the trunk or on the car roof.

The invention achieves the stated object in that the platform is lifted from a single piece from an underground, in particular the ground, or is assembled from individual elements to form an arbitrarily large area. There are several options for element design, whereby all elements, as well as the individual piece, have the solution of the following tasks in common: Formation of a surface that is lifted from a subsurface, in particular soil, quickly and easily without special previous knowledge (e.g. Fig. 1) with ge light weight and good stackability and thus transportability.

In design variants, devices (for example Fig. 4 / Fig. 5 / 5.1) allow tent poles and the like to be fixed on the platform, side walls (for example Fig. 1/24/29) close the edge of the platform, the platform has edge strips at the edge (eg Fig. 1/25/25 '), the platform is equipped with an additional temperature insulation layer in a manner known per se. Unevenness of the subsurface, in particular the ground, is corrected with the aid of "leveling elements" (e.g. Fig. 9 / Fig. 10), which can be adjusted to any height at the contact points of the platform with the subsurface.

The invention is described in more detail with reference to drawings, but is not restricted to them.

In one embodiment variant of the invention, the object is achieved by self-supporting plate elements. The choice of the geometric surface shape of the plate elements is basically arbitrary, but it is recommended to use a rectangular shape, the embodiment of which is also shown in FIG. 1 / Fig. 2 / Fig. 4 / Fig. 5 / operated. All plate elements are based on the "lockable pillar plug system" described below (Fig. 2 / Fig. 3 / Fig. 6 / Fig. 7 / Fig. 8).

In the "lockable pillar plug system", pillars are integrated in the plate elements (Fig. 2 / Fig. 4 / Fig. 5) in the form of hollow bodies tapering downwards and open at the top, for example hollow truncated cones (4, 5, 6, 7, 8) . Said hollow body must therefore be open at the top because the individual plate elements thereby fit together in a space-saving manner others can be stacked. These pillars are arranged according to the expected load of the plate elements in these - these are "pure support pillars" (4), which may also be omitted if appropriate material and stiffening are selected - or in their edge area, where they also serve as the support function Establish connection with the other plate elements (Fig. 3) - these are "plate element connection pillars" (5, 6, 7, 8), shortly called "connection pillars". The connection with the other plate elements is accomplished by inserting the connecting pillars of the individual plate elements into one another (8 in 7, see Fig. 3; 6 in 5, see Fig. 3 and Fig. 8), the inner pillar (6 or 8) must be made correspondingly smaller in order to ensure a complete sinking and subsequently a flat platform surface. For the same reason, it is pointed out with regard to the pillar height that with the outer, larger pillar (5, 7), the pillar part which projects beyond the plate element (Fig. 8/26) must be shorter by the plate element thickness, with the inner, smaller pillar (6, 8) but the entire upper edge (26 ') reaches the level of the pillar collar (9). When arranging the connecting pillars on the plate elements, according to their connection task or according to their stackability in one another, care must be taken to ensure that they correspond in size from plate element to plate element. For the corner pillars (7, 8), a full, large pillar on a corner (7) is sufficient. The remaining corner pillars are each smaller pillars, e.g. quarter pillars (8), so that, for example, the three pillars reach into the full pillar (Fig. 3) when cornering the panel elements, so that with the help of the pillar cover (14) a firm and rigid one Corner connection is achieved.

Around the pillars or partial pillars there is a so-called "pillar collar" (9), which is an integrated ring or ring sector, e.g. Annulus (9) or annulus sector (9 '/ 9˝) at the truncated cone pillar (4, 5, 6, 7, 8), the "ring break" (10) is an oblique to ensure the aforementioned stackability of the individual plate elements . The "pillar cover" (14) is sunk into this "pillar collar". For this purpose, guide slots (11) of the required size and number are cut out in the "pillar collar" in accordance with the relevant pillar or partial pillar.

The "pillar cover" (14 / Fig. 6) has a two-fold task: on the one hand, it locks the pillars flat to the level of the platform (Fig. 7 / Fig. 8), on the other hand, it closes the connecting pillars tightly, so that an unwanted sliding out of an interior Pillar or partial pillar is prevented. The "pillar cover" consists of a plate corresponding to the "pillar collar" (9), which is beveled at the lower edge according to the oblique "ring break" (10) (32). On the underside of the "pillar cover" are downward-facing guide lugs, so-called "locking lugs" (33), which slide into the corresponding guide slots (11 / Fig. 2 / Fig. 3/7) of the "pillar collar" (9) grab. The "locking nose" (33) consists of a fixed to the underside of the "pillar cover", in one embodiment at the corner (37 ') beveled or rounded part (34) and one leading from this to the front, in one embodiment to the Corners (37) bevelled or rounded free-standing part (35), which protrudes downwards so far from the "pillar cover" (36) that it engages under the "pillar collar" when rotated and thus "pillar collar" and "pillar cover" together presses, which prevents nested pillars from accidentally sliding apart. In this way, the firm connection of the individual plate elements is guaranteed. - In order to be able to turn the pillar cover better, devices such as notches (38) are attached to its top. - The "pure pillar" (4) can be closed using the same system.

In one embodiment variant of the invention, the individual plate elements are to "underlap" each other between the plate element connecting pillars (5, 6, 7, 8) while maintaining the level of the platform (Fig. 2 / Fig. 3). For this purpose, the "underlapping plate element edges" (13 ') between the individual "connecting pillar collars" must be lowered by a few centimeters protruding "additional strips" (13) by the plate element thickness. The break (12) is again an oblique in view of the stackability. The "underlapped plate element edges" (13˝) accordingly remain unchanged, the edges being chamfered accordingly. When arranging the plate element edges with or without "additional strips" (13) on the individual plate element edges, care must be taken that the desired "underlap" actually occurs when they are put together. - This "underlap" has the purpose to better interlock the individual plate elements, which an additional stability or. Stiffening effect of the plate elements causes, the mere stiffening of the plate elements can also be achieved in a known manner.

The "lockable pillar plug system" just described (Fig. 3 / Fig. 7 / Fig. 8) or the "underlap system" (Fig. 3) can, as already mentioned, with all plate elements, such as "main plate elements" (Fig. 2), "Edge plate elements "(Fig. 5)," corner plate elements "(Fig.4) or other are used.

"Main plate elements" (FIG. 2) are understood to mean all the plate elements which are necessary for erecting or achieving the desired platform size, with the exception of the "edge" and "corner plate elements", which must be factored into the calculation of the desired platform size are. These "main plate elements" can be limited to standard sizes, but can also have any type of intermediate size in order to achieve the desired platform size.

“Edge plate elements” (FIG. 5) are understood to mean all the plate elements which limit the platform at its edges to the outside. It should be noted here with regard to the "lockable pillar plug system" (Fig. 3 / Fig. 7 / Fig. 8) that the "edge pillars" (17, 18, 19), which practically form the outer boundary pillars of the platform, do not necessarily have to the "edge plate element" protrude, but be placed directly on the edge or something within it. The "underlap system" (30, 31) corresponds to that already shown in Fig. 2 / Fig. 3 (12, 13, 13 ', 13˝) described.

In one embodiment variant, the outer platform edge of the "edge plate element" (FIG. 5) is to be closed off in the form of a quasi "side wall" (29). The platform edge must be pulled from its edge to the lower pillar level accordingly, ie provided with a "side wall" (29) in such a way that stackability is again ensured. The "underlap system" (27, 28) already discussed can also be used with this "side wall". The "side wall" provides additional support and stiffening of the "Edge plate element". The "side wall" can be a continuously closed or openwork, with a narrow open (50) being preferred because it offers protection against small animals penetrating under the platform and the platform base is nevertheless ventilated.

In a further variant of the "edge plate element", a strip, called the "edge strip" (25), is placed on the outer edge. The platform thus has a continuous encirclement or boundary at its outer edges, which prevents objects from slipping off the platform.

In a further embodiment variant of the "edge plate element", devices such as e.g. Holes (51) attached, in the tent poles and the like, can reach.

“Corner plate elements” (FIG. 4) are understood to mean all the edge plate elements which form the corners of the platform. As for the "lockable pillar plug system" (Fig. 3 / Fig. 7 / Fig. 8), the "underlap system" (30, 31), the side wall (24) together with the "underlap system" (27, 28), the "edge strip" ( 25 '), as well as the devices (51), can engage in the tent poles and the like, that already applies to the "edge plate elements" said.

In one embodiment variant of the invention, the tent, awning etc. is to be fixed on the platform, in particular at the edge thereof, by known devices in the manner of connecting the caravan awning to the caravan, for example by threading the reinforced tent. or awning edge in guided tours. In this way it becomes a complete, solid Connection of the platform with the tent, awning etc. created.

The "leveling element" (Fig. 9 / Fig. 10) serves to compensate for unevenness in the platform base, in particular the ground. It therefore represents a base which can be adjusted to any height and which has a corresponding device (41, 45) in which the pillar foot can engage. - Two of the different design variants are mentioned:

Variant A (Fig. 9): The "leveling elements" consist of screwable parts, e.g. Hollow cylinders (42, 43) into which the pillar can be lowered (41). Snap-in devices (40), which have their counterpart in the pillar foot (Fig. 8/39), allow the inner screw part (42) to be fixed in relation to the pillar foot. In this way, the height can be continuously adjusted.

Variant B (Fig. 10): Here the "leveling elements" consist of pluggable parts, e.g. Hollow cylinders (44, 48, 49), which are designed (46, 47, 48) so that the parts can be plugged together at any height, the uppermost part (44) having a corresponding recess (45) into which the Pillar foot grips.

Finally, with regard to all plate elements (Fig. 2 / Fig. 4 / Fig. 5), the following should again be expressly stated or pointed out:

The number, arrangement and strength of all pillars, as well as the strength of the panel elements themselves, as well as the strength and arrangement of any panel reinforcements, depends exclusively on the material used, such as recycled plastic, and on the expected or calculated load of the same. The same applies to "pillar cover" (14), "underlap strips" (13, 28, 31), "leveling elements" (Fig. 9 / Fig. 10) and all other parts of the platform.
