Definitions
- the invention relates to a game hut or wall, which is largely opaque and at least partially encloses an interior.
- Playhouses are known in a variety of shapes and colors. Most of the time, these are wooden constructions for indoor use, which usually have an entrance, several windows and sometimes also several levels, which are connected to each other by means of ladders, climbing trees or stairs. Due to the child's imagination, in the simplest case, a room closed off by a semi-circular wall, for example, can also serve as a play hut. Especially when playing in groups, the privacy screen is an essential functional feature, so that there is the possibility of hiding or withdrawing individually or in smaller groups. At outdoor play huts, which also protect against wind, rain or sun, there are often other play equipment such as a slide, a swing rope or a cable car.
- Playhouses made from planted, living willows can also be found in the increasingly popular natural playgrounds.
- the willows are planted approximately along a circular line and intertwined so that a hut is closed on the side.
- the goal of this hut construction is to provide the children with natural experiences. The children can help planting the pastures, observing the growth and gradually weaving the hut out of the pastures.
- the invention has set itself the task of designing a game hut that is immediately available for playing and still conveys experiences close to nature.
- the object is achieved in that it consists of a wicker, in which at least three, essentially vertically aligned rods are braided, which protrude from the bottom over the wicker.
- An essential feature of the invention is that the game hut consists exclusively of natural materials and is free of pollutants.
- the wicker is supported and strengthened by the rods, so that the dimensional stability is significantly improved, with at least three rods not arranged in a line increasing the stability.
- the bottom side The protrusion of the rods on the one hand represents suitable anchoring points for the hut and creates a distance between the braid and the ground during installation, so that wear is reduced and protection against the attack of harmful organisms is provided outdoors.
- the play hut provides the children with a natural scope for use both outdoors and inside buildings, which can be used immediately. While it provides weather and privacy protection on the outside, the function as a room divider to delimit areas of retreat, such as doll's corners or cozy corners, is in the foreground.
- the open braid offers a variety of play options, for example by weaving in strips of fabric or paper or wicker rods.
- the anchorage of the hut can be significantly improved by inserting the rods into the ground at the ends.
- the rods are freshly cut, drivable branches which form roots in the earth and start to drift after a certain time. This enhances the experience of nature because the children can watch the growth process.
- Willow branches are particularly preferred, since the shoots can be used to reinforce the braid and the children on the always unfinished one Can continue to build play hut. This can best be achieved by an unfinished play hut that is already suitable for playing, but offers opportunities for further design.
- the play hut preferably has an entrance and / or window, which opens up additional play and climbing opportunities.
- the play hut has a special attraction for the children when it is completely or almost closed at the top.
- the wicker is continued beyond the rods and interwoven to form a dome.
- the resulting cave is particularly popular with children for playing.
- the rods are inserted into the earth with their thick end down. This results in a higher stability of the game hut.
- the braid can be compressed upwards, which facilitates a dome-shaped closure.
- a play hut with an approximately round base is visually particularly appealing and easy to implement thanks to the wicker. This is achieved by inserting the rods into the earth along a circle. With a sufficient Number of bars, preferably five or six, gives the impression of a round hut.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Spielhütte oder -wand, die weitgehend undurchsichtig ist und einen Innenraum zumindest teilweise umschließt.The invention relates to a game hut or wall, which is largely opaque and at least partially encloses an interior.
Spielhütten sind in vielfältigen Formen und Farben bekannt. Meistens handelt es sich dabei um Holzkonstruktionen für den Innenbereich, welche in der Regel einen Eingang, mehrere Fenster und zum Teil auch mehrere Ebenen aufweisen, die über Leitern, Kletterbäume oder Treppen miteinander verbunden sind. Aufgrund der kindlichen Phantasie kann im einfachsten Fall aber auch ein durch eine z.B. halbkreisförmige Wand abgeschlossener Raum als Spielhütte dienen. Insbesondere beim Spiel in Gruppen ist dabei der Sichtschutz wesentliches Funktionsmerkmal, so daß die Möglichkeit besteht, sich zu verstecken oder einzeln bzw. in kleineren Gruppen zurückzuziehen. An Spielhütten im Freien, die auch einen Schutz vor Wind, Regen oder Sonne darstellen, sind oftmals noch weitere Spielgeräte wie z.B. eine Rutsche, ein Schwungseil oder eine Seilbahn angebracht. In den sich immer mehr durchsetzenden Naturspielplätzen sind auch Spielhütten aus angepflanzten, lebenden Weiden anzutreffen. Die Weiden sind dazu ungefähr entlang einer Kreislinie angepflanzt und so miteinander verflochten, daß sich eine seitlich geschlossene Hütte ergibt. Das Ziel dieses Hüttenbaus ist es, den Kindern naturnahe Erlebnisse zu vermitteln. Die Kinder können helfen die Weiden anzupflanzen, das Wachstum beobachten und nach und nach aus den Weiden die Hütte flechten.Playhouses are known in a variety of shapes and colors. Most of the time, these are wooden constructions for indoor use, which usually have an entrance, several windows and sometimes also several levels, which are connected to each other by means of ladders, climbing trees or stairs. Due to the child's imagination, in the simplest case, a room closed off by a semi-circular wall, for example, can also serve as a play hut. Especially when playing in groups, the privacy screen is an essential functional feature, so that there is the possibility of hiding or withdrawing individually or in smaller groups. At outdoor play huts, which also protect against wind, rain or sun, there are often other play equipment such as a slide, a swing rope or a cable car. Playhouses made from planted, living willows can also be found in the increasingly popular natural playgrounds. For this purpose, the willows are planted approximately along a circular line and intertwined so that a hut is closed on the side. The goal of this hut construction is to provide the children with natural experiences. The children can help planting the pastures, observing the growth and gradually weaving the hut out of the pastures.
Als nachteilig ist anzusehen, daß sich für die Kinder das Erfolgserlebnis erst sehr spät einstellt, da erst nach ungefähr ein bis zwei Jahren eine Nutzung als Höhle oder Spielhütte möglich ist. Wegen der natürlichen Ungeduld verlieren die Kinder während des langen Zeitraumes das Interesse. Außerdem erlebt ein beträchtlicher Teil der Kinder die fertige Spielhütte nicht mehr, da sie inzwischen die betreuende Einrichtung (z.B. Kindergarten) verlassen haben.It is to be regarded as a disadvantage that the sense of achievement sets in very late for the children, since it can only be used as a cave or play hut after about one to two years. Because of the natural impatience, the children lose interest during the long period. In addition, a significant proportion of the children no longer experience the finished play hut because they have now left the childcare facility (e.g. kindergarten).
Demgegenüber hat sich die Erfindung zur Aufgabe gemacht, eine Spielhütte auszugestalten, die sofort zum Spielen zur Verfügung steht und trotzdem naturnahe Erlebnisse vermittelt.In contrast, the invention has set itself the task of designing a game hut that is immediately available for playing and still conveys experiences close to nature.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß sie aus einem Weidengeflecht besteht, in das mindestens drei, im wesentlichen vertikal ausgerichtete Stäbe eingeflochten sind, die bodenseitig über das Weidengeflecht hervorstehen.According to the invention the object is achieved in that it consists of a wicker, in which at least three, essentially vertically aligned rods are braided, which protrude from the bottom over the wicker.
Wesentliches Merkmal der Erfindung ist, daß die Spielhütte ausschließlich aus Naturmaterialien besteht und schadstoffrei ist. Das Weidengeflecht wird von den Stäben getragen und verstärkt, so daß sich die Formstabilität wesentlich verbessert, wobei mindestens drei, nicht auf einer Linie angeordnete Stäbe die Standsicherheit erhöhen. Der bodenseitige Überstand der Stäbe stellt einerseits geeignete Verankerungspunkte für die Hütte dar und bewirkt bei der Aufstellung einen Abstand des Geflechtes zum Boden, so daß sich die Abnutzung verringert und im Freien ein Schutz gegen den Angriff von Schadorganismen gegeben ist.An essential feature of the invention is that the game hut consists exclusively of natural materials and is free of pollutants. The wicker is supported and strengthened by the rods, so that the dimensional stability is significantly improved, with at least three rods not arranged in a line increasing the stability. The bottom side The protrusion of the rods on the one hand represents suitable anchoring points for the hut and creates a distance between the braid and the ground during installation, so that wear is reduced and protection against the attack of harmful organisms is provided outdoors.
Die Vorteile der Erfindung sind vor allen Dingen darin zu sehen, daß die Spielhütte den Kindern sowohl bei der Aufstellung im Freien wie im Inneren von Gebäuden einen natürlichen Spielraum bietet, der sofort nutzbar ist. Während sie im Außenbereich einen Witterungs- und Sichtschutz darstellt, steht im Innenbereich die Funktion als Raumteiler zur Abgrenzung von Rückzugsbereichen, etwa Puppen- oder Kuschelecken, im Vordergrund. Das offene Geflecht bietet vielfältige Spielmöglichkeiten, beispielsweise indem Stoff- oder Papierstreifen oder Weidenruten eingeflochten werden.The advantages of the invention can be seen above all in the fact that the play hut provides the children with a natural scope for use both outdoors and inside buildings, which can be used immediately. While it provides weather and privacy protection on the outside, the function as a room divider to delimit areas of retreat, such as doll's corners or cozy corners, is in the foreground. The open braid offers a variety of play options, for example by weaving in strips of fabric or paper or wicker rods.
Die Verankerung der Hütte läßt sich wesentlich verbessern, indem die Stäbe endseitig in den Erdboden eingebracht werden. In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Stäbe frisch geschnittene, treibfähige Äste, die in der Erde Wurzeln ausbilden und nach einer gewissen Zeit anfangen zu treiben. Dadurch wird das Naturerlebnis noch verstärkt, da die Kinder den Wachstumsprozeß beobachten können.The anchorage of the hut can be significantly improved by inserting the rods into the ground at the ends. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the rods are freshly cut, drivable branches which form roots in the earth and start to drift after a certain time. This enhances the experience of nature because the children can watch the growth process.
Besonders bevorzugt sind Weidenäste, da die Triebe zur Verstärkung des Geflechts benutzt werden können und die Kinder dadurch an der stets unvollendeten Spielhütte weiterbauen können. Dies kann am besten durch eine unfertige Spielhütte erreicht werden, die sich bereits zum Spielen eignet, jedoch Möglichkeiten zur weiteren Gestaltung bietet.Willow branches are particularly preferred, since the shoots can be used to reinforce the braid and the children on the always unfinished one Can continue to build play hut. This can best be achieved by an unfinished play hut that is already suitable for playing, but offers opportunities for further design.
Im Ergebnis erhält man eine Spielhütte, die sofort bespielbar ist, Erfolgserlebnisse vermittelt und den natürlichen Wachstumsprozeß erfahrbar macht.As a result, you get a play hut that is immediately playable, communicates experiences of success and makes the natural growth process tangible.
Vorzugsweise besitzt die Spielhütte einen Eingang, und/oder Fenster, wodurch zusätzliche Spiel- und Klettermöglichkeiten eröffnet werden.The play hut preferably has an entrance and / or window, which opens up additional play and climbing opportunities.
Einen besonderen Reiz für die Kinder hat die Spielhütte, wenn sie oben vollständig oder nahezu geschlossen ist. Dazu wird in einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung das Weidengeflecht über die Stäbe hinaus fortgesetzt und zu einer Kuppel verflochten. Die dadurch entstehende Höhle wird von den Kindern besonders gern zum Spielen angenommen.The play hut has a special attraction for the children when it is completely or almost closed at the top. For this purpose, in a preferred embodiment, the wicker is continued beyond the rods and interwoven to form a dome. The resulting cave is particularly popular with children for playing.
Aus praktischen Erwägungen sind die Stäbe mit ihrem dicken Ende nach unten in die Erde eingesetzt. Dadurch ergibt sich eine höhere Stabilität der Spielhütte. Außerdem kann das Geflecht nach oben hin verdichtet werden, wodurch ein kuppelförmiger Abschluß erleichtert wird.For practical reasons, the rods are inserted into the earth with their thick end down. This results in a higher stability of the game hut. In addition, the braid can be compressed upwards, which facilitates a dome-shaped closure.
Optisch besonders ansprechend und durch das Weidegeflecht leicht zu realisieren ist eine Spielhütte mit annäherungsweise runder Grundfläche. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß die Stäbe entlang eines Kreises in die Erde gesteckt werden. Bei einer ausreichenden Zahl von Stäben, vorzugsweise fünf oder sechs, ergibt sich der Eindruck einer runden Hütte.A play hut with an approximately round base is visually particularly appealing and easy to implement thanks to the wicker. This is achieved by inserting the rods into the earth along a circle. With a sufficient Number of bars, preferably five or six, gives the impression of a round hut.
Stehen Merkmale wie der Sicht- oder Witterungsschutz im Vordergrund, wird eine einseitig offene Hütte vorgeschlagen, wobei sich die Gestalt im Extremfall im wesentlichen auf eine einzelne Wand beschränkt. Zweckmäßig sind insbesondere Hütten, die die Form eines Halbkugelabschnitts aufweisen, so daß der umschlossene Bereich auch nach oben abgeschlossen ist. Sie zeichnen sich durch eine gute Formstabilität, leichte Herstellbarkeit und eine ansprechende Erscheinung aus, und lassen sich etwa als Raumteiler oder Witterungsschutz einsetzen.If features such as privacy or weather protection are in the foreground, a hut that is open on one side is proposed, and in extreme cases the shape is essentially limited to a single wall. Huts which have the shape of a hemisphere section are particularly expedient, so that the enclosed area is also closed at the top. They are characterized by good dimensional stability, easy manufacture and an attractive appearance, and can be used as room dividers or weather protection.
Die offene Seite, der Eingang oder ein Fenster der Hütte wird vorzugsweise von einem durchgehenden Rahmen umgeben, so daß sich die Formstabilität wesentlich erhöht. Der Rahmen besteht zweckmäßig aus Holz, bei hohen Belastungen, also insbesondere wenn er eine offene Seite der Hütte umschließt, aus Stahl. Damit läßt sich auch bei offenen Gestalten eine hohe Belastbarkeit erreichen.The open side, the entrance or a window of the hut is preferably surrounded by a continuous frame, so that the dimensional stability increases significantly. The frame is suitably made of wood, steel for heavy loads, in particular if it surrounds an open side of the hut. This makes it possible to achieve high resilience even with open shapes.
Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, zwei oder mehrere Spielhütten bzw. -wände zu einer Gruppe zusammenzustellen. Auf diese Weise läßt sich der umschlossene Raum erweitern, ohne daß der Einsatz größerer und damit mechanisch instabilerer Hütten notwendig ist. Bei einseitig offenen Hütten wird ein verbesserter Abschluß eines abgegrenzten Raumes erreicht. Es ist vorteilhaft, jedoch nicht zwingend erforderlich, daß die Öffnungen in Richtungen aufeinander zu weisen. Beispielsweise läßt sich auf diese Weise aus zwei halbschaligen Elementen eine muschelartig geöffnete Höhle zusammenstellen.It is also proposed to combine two or more play huts or walls into a group. In this way, the enclosed space can be expanded without the need for larger and therefore mechanically unstable huts. With huts open on one side, an improved closure of a delimited room is achieved. It is advantageous, but not absolutely necessary, that the openings face each other in directions. For example, a shell-like open cave can be put together in this way from two half-shell elements.
Bevorzugt werden benachbarte Spielhütten miteinander durch an ihnen befestigte Elemente verbunden, etwa im Bereich des Eingangs bzw. einer offenen Seite. Als verbindende Elemente kommen alle Gegenstände in Betracht, die einen aus kindlicher Sicht tatsächlichen oder scheinbaren Abschluß darstellen, etwa Stäbe, Seile, Geflechte, Stoff- oder Folienbahnen, Decken, Platten, eine Überdachung oder beliebe Kombinationen dieser Elemente, z.B. strickleiterartig miteinander verbundene Leisten.Adjacent play huts are preferably connected to one another by elements fastened to them, for example in the area of the entrance or an open side. All objects are considered as connecting elements that represent an actual or apparent conclusion from a child's point of view, such as rods, ropes, braids, fabric or foil sheets, ceilings, plates, a roof or any combination of these elements, e.g. Strips connected to each other in a rope-like manner.
Auch im Fall einzelner Hütten bietet es sich ebenso wie bei Gruppen an, Eingangsbereiche bzw. die offene Seite mit einem Vordach zu versehen, z.B. aus Holzlamellen oder mit Segeltuch verbundenen Rundhölzern. Die Befestigung erfolgt etwa durch loses Auflegen und Abstützung durch Pfosten oder bei fester Verbindung mit der Hütte freitragend.In the case of individual huts as well as for groups, it is advisable to provide entrance areas or the open side with a canopy, e.g. made of wooden slats or logs connected with canvas. The attachment is carried out, for example, by loosely laying on and supporting by posts or in the case of a fixed connection to the hut.
Zum Schutz vor Regen ist es zweckmäßig, daß die Spielhütte und gegebenenfalls Vordächer und mehrere Hütten verbindende Elemente außenseitig, speziell im oberen Bereich, durch eine vorzugsweise lösbar befestigte, wasserdichte Hülle bedeckt ist.To protect against rain, it is appropriate that the play hut and possibly canopies and elements connecting several huts are covered on the outside, especially in the upper area, by a preferably releasably attached, waterproof cover.
Das Naturerlebnis ist wesentlich zu steigern, wenn die Hütte außenseitig mit Kletterpflanzen bewachsen ist, wozu sich insbesondere Gemüse, etwa Bohnen oder Erbsen, die die Kinder nach der Reife ernten können, oder Blumen anbieten. Während die Pflanzen im Freien in den Erdboden einsetzbar sind, lassen sie sich im Inneren von Räumen auch in Blumentöpfe oder -kästen pflanzen.The experience of nature can be increased significantly if the hut is covered with climbing plants on the outside, which is particularly the case for vegetables, such as beans or peas, which the children harvest after they have matured can, or offer flowers. While the plants can be used outdoors in the ground, they can also be planted inside flower pots or boxes.
Das Spielerlebnis und mögliche Anwendungsbereiche der Hütte lassen sich erheblich erweitern, indem Möbelstücke in sie eingestellt werden. Zu diesem Zweck bieten sich beispielsweise Stühle, eine Bank oder ein Tisch sowie Kissen oder Polster an. Eine Möblierung ist speziell beim Einsatz als Rückzugsbereich oder Spielecke von Vorteil. Durch einen Sichtschutz vor dem Eingang bzw. der offenen Seite wird die Hütte auch zum Umkleiden nutzbar.The game experience and possible areas of application of the hut can be expanded considerably by placing furniture in it. For this purpose, chairs, a bench or a table as well as pillows or upholstery are available. Furniture is particularly advantageous when used as a retreat or play area. With a privacy screen in front of the entrance or the open side, the hut can also be used for changing.

- Figure 1
- Playhouse according to the invention,
- Figure 2
- Playhouses connected in pairs.
In Figur 1 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Spielhütte dargestellt, die von in den Erdboden eingesteckten Stäben (1) getragen wird. Die Stäbe (1) sind etwa auf einer Kreislinie angeordnet und gegenüber der Vertikalen etwas gegeneinander geneigt.FIG. 1 shows a game hut according to the invention, which is carried by rods (1) inserted into the ground. The bars (1) are approximately arranged on a circular line and slightly inclined towards each other with respect to the vertical.
Zwischen die Stäbe (1) sind Weiden (2) derart eingeflochten, daß sie sich zu einem Weidengeflecht (3) verbinden, in dem ein Eingang (4) und ein Fenster (5) ausgespart ist. Nach oben hin setzt sich das Weidengeflecht (3) über die Stäbe (1) hinaus fort und bildet eine Kuppel (6). Nach unten reicht das Weidengeflecht (3) nicht ganz bis zum Erdboden, so daß das Spielhaus etwas Bodenfreiheit hat.Willows (2) are braided between the rods (1) in such a way that they connect to form a wicker (3), in which an entrance (4) and a window (5) are cut out. At the top, the wicker (3) continues beyond the rods (1) and forms a dome (6). The wicker (3) does not reach all the way down to the ground, so that the playhouse has some ground clearance.
Das nach unten zu überstehende Ende der Stäbe (1) kann entweder als Standbein auf der Bodenoberfläche oder zur Verankerung im Erdreich durch Einstecken genutzt werden. Hierbei entspricht die maximale Einstecktiefe dem Abstand des Weidengeflechts (3) vom nach unten zu überstehenden Ende der Stäbe (1). Dem Einstecken ist bei beabsichtigtem Austreiben der als Äste genutzten Stäbe (1) der Vorzug zu geben.The end of the rods (1) protruding downwards can either be used as a pillar on the ground surface or for anchoring in the ground by plugging in. The maximum insertion depth corresponds to the distance of the wicker (3) from the end of the rods (1) that protrudes downwards. Plugging in is preferred if the rods (1) used as branches are to be driven out.
Eine alternative Ausgestaltung der Spielhütte zeigt Figur 2. Die Hütte besteht aus zwei schalenartigen Elementen in Gestalt eines Halbkugelabschnittes, die auch einzeln als Spielhütte einsetzbar sind. Sie bestehen aus einem von Stäben (1) getragenen Weidengeflecht (2), das eine offene Seite (7) aufweist. Zur Stabilisierung ist die offene Seite (7) von einem Rahmen (8) umgeben, der vorzugsweise aus Stahl besteht. Die Verbindung der Elemente untereinander erfolgt durch Stangen (9), die beispielsweise durch eine nicht dargestellte Plane zu einem Dach ergänzt sind. Bei Befestigung der Stangen (9) an einer durchgehenden Plane ist es möglich, sie lose auf die Elemente aufzulegen, während ansonsten eine Fixierung, etwa am Rahmen (8) erforderlich ist. In gleicher Weise läßt sich auch ein einzelnes Element mit einem Vordach versehen, wenn letzteres geeignet fixiert ist oder auf der freien Seite durch Pfosten oder Ständer abgestützt wird.An alternative embodiment of the game hut is shown in FIG. 2. The hut consists of two shell-like elements in the form of a hemisphere section, which can also be used individually as a game hut. They consist of a wicker (2) carried by rods (1) and having an open side (7). To stabilize the open side (7) is surrounded by a frame (8), which is preferably made of steel. The elements are connected to one another by rods (9), for example are supplemented by a tarpaulin, not shown, to form a roof. If the rods (9) are attached to a continuous tarpaulin, it is possible to place them loosely on the elements, while otherwise a fixation, for example on the frame (8), is required. In the same way, a single element can also be provided with a canopy if the latter is suitably fixed or is supported on the free side by posts or stands.
