Raumteiler room divider
Beschreibungdescription
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Raumteiler zur flächigen Ausgestaltung und Unterteilung von Räumen, insbesondere Büroräumen, Ausstellungs- und Wohnräumen, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 , sowie ein Raumteilersystem aus mehreren derartigen Raumteilern.The present invention relates to a room divider for the flat design and subdivision of rooms, in particular office rooms, exhibition and living rooms, according to the preamble of claim 1, and a room divider system comprising a plurality of such room dividers.
Bei den bekannten Raumteilern handelt es sich meist um Raumteiler aus festen Materialien, die auf dem Boden stehen und auf ihrem jeweiligen Platz festgeschraubt oder über Standbeine in aufrechter Position gehalten werden. Raumteiler werden dazu verwendet, um in Großraumbüros, in Ausstellungsräumen, insbesondere auf Messen, und auch in großen Wohnräumen eine Unterteilung des Raumes in mehrere Teilräume zu erzielen, die optisch, möglichst aber auch akustisch voneinander getrennt sind.The known room dividers are mostly room dividers made of solid materials that stand on the floor and are screwed into their respective places or held in an upright position via legs. Room dividers are used to achieve a subdivision of the room into several sub-rooms in open-plan offices, in exhibition rooms, especially at trade fairs, and also in large living rooms, which are optically, but if possible also acoustically separated.
Nachteilig an derartigen Raumteilern ist, daß sie nur mit erheblichen Kosten herstellbar sind, relativ schwer auf- und wieder abzubauen bzw. zu verschieben sind. Außerdem wird durch die zumeist kahlen Oberflächen der Raumteiler eine ungemütliche Lichtatmosphäre geschaffen.A disadvantage of such room dividers is that they can only be produced at considerable costs, and are relatively difficult to assemble and disassemble or move. In addition, the mostly bare surfaces of the room dividers create an uncomfortable light atmosphere.
Ebenfalls bekannt sind Raumteiler wie spanische Wände und Paravents, die beispielsweise aus gespannten Stoffen bestehen und etwa zur Bühnengestaltung dienen. Diese Raumteiler sind zwar sehr leicht, ihr Einsatz in belebten Großräumen ist jedoch nicht zweckmäßig, da sie keine ausreichende Schalldämpfung liefern.Also known are room dividers such as Spanish walls and screens, which are made of stretched fabrics, for example, and are used for stage design. Although these room dividers are very light, their use in busy large rooms is not practical because they do not provide adequate sound absorption.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Raumteiler zur flächigen Ausgestaltung und Unterteilung von Räumen, insbesondere Büroräumen, Ausstellungs- und Wohnräumen, zu schaffen, der leicht auf- und abbaubar bzw. verschiebbar ist, der Geräusche von außerhalb möglichst effektiv abblockt und mit dessen Hilfe zusätzlich eine gute Raumausleuchtung erzielt wird. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The present invention is therefore based on the object of creating a room divider for the planar design and subdivision of rooms, in particular office rooms, exhibition and living rooms, which is easy to assemble and disassemble or can be moved, which blocks noise from outside as effectively as possible and with whose help also provides good room lighting. This object is solved by the features of claim 1.
Dadurch, daß der Raumteiler mindestens zwei Membranen aufweist, die an mindestens einem ersten oberen Befestigungspunkt im Raum oder an der Decke befestigt sind, und daß die Membranen an mindestens zwei unteren Befestigungspunkten unterhalb des mindestens einen ersten Befestigungspunktes bzw. der Decke befestigt sind, und daß jede Membrane eine äußere Wandfläche an beiden Seiten des Raumteilers liefert, wird gewährleistet, daß der Raumteiler wenig Gewicht aufweist und damit leicht auf- und wieder abzubauen sowie zu verschieben ist, daß dennoch Nebengeräusche und Gespräche aus nahegelegenen, durch den Raumteiler abgetrennten Bereichen größtenteils absorbiert werden und zudem ein angenehmes Lichtempfinden erzeugt wird.Characterized in that the room divider has at least two membranes that are attached to at least a first upper attachment point in the room or to the ceiling, and that the membranes are attached to at least two lower attachment points below the at least one first attachment point or the ceiling, and that Each membrane provides an outer wall surface on both sides of the room divider, it is ensured that the room divider has little weight and is therefore easy to assemble, disassemble and move, but that noises and conversations from nearby areas separated by the room divider are largely absorbed and also creates a pleasant sense of light.
Eine besonders vielseitige Anwendbarkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Raumteilers erzielt man dadurch, daß die Membranen an mehreren Stellen mit Verbindungsstangen oder -seilen verbunden sind, die an der Decke befestigt sind.A particularly versatile application of the space divider according to the invention is achieved in that the membranes are connected at several points with connecting rods or ropes which are attached to the ceiling.
Zur Verwendung als stabile Trennwand sind die Membranen an einer tragenden Konstruktion befestigt, vorzugsweise einer Rahmenkonstruktion, an der die Membranen aufgespannt sind.For use as a stable partition, the membranes are fastened to a supporting structure, preferably a frame structure, on which the membranes are stretched.
Vorteilhafterweise weist die Rahmenkonstruktion neben einem äußeren Trägerrahmen zusätzliche Stangen, Stäbe, Seile oder kleine Trägerrahmen auf, an denen die Membranen zumindest teilweise fixiert sind, so daß die Belastung an den einzelnen Befestigungspunkten abnimmt.In addition to an outer support frame, the frame construction advantageously has additional rods, rods, ropes or small support frames, on which the membranes are at least partially fixed, so that the load on the individual fastening points decreases.
Durch eine nochmalige dreidimensionale Verformung der Membranen an bestimmbaren Punkten oder Linien innerhalb der aufgespannten Flächen zwischen den Befestigungspunkten wird eine Lichtstreuung in viele verschiedene Richtungen erzielt.A renewed three-dimensional deformation of the membranes at determinable points or lines within the spanned areas between the fastening points results in light scattering in many different directions.
Besonders vorteilhaft im Sinne der Schalldämpfung ist es, daß die Membranen zwei- oder mehrschichtig ausgebildet sind, wobei mindestens eine Schicht aus schalldämmendem Material besteht. Zur optimalen Ausleuchtung des Raumes sind die Membranen vorteilhafterweise lichtreflektierend ausgebildet.It is particularly advantageous in terms of sound absorption that the membranes are formed in two or more layers, at least one layer consisting of sound-absorbing material. For optimal illumination of the room, the membranes are advantageously designed to reflect light.
Einen weiteren vorteilhaften lichttechnischen Effekt liefert es, daß die Membranen zumindest teilweise lichtdurchlässig ausgebildet sind und an der tragenden Konstruktion Lichtelemente angeordnet sind.Another advantageous lighting effect is that the membranes are at least partially translucent and light elements are arranged on the supporting structure.
Vorteilhafterweise sind mindestens zwei Raumteiler miteinander fest oder gelenkig zu einem Raumteilersystem verbunden, so daß beliebige geometrische Formen der Raumteilung möglich sind.Advantageously, at least two room dividers are connected to one another in a fixed or articulated manner to form a room divider system, so that any geometrical shapes of the room division are possible.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist, daß die Raumteiler zu einem geschlossenen Raum verbunden sind, wodurch Nebengeräusche deutlich reduziert werden.It is particularly advantageous that the room dividers are connected to form a closed room, which significantly reduces background noise.
Vorteilhafterweise weist der geschlossene Raum ein Bodenteil und daran angeordnete Rollen auf, so daß er als mobile Box ohne großen Aufwand bewegt werden kann.The closed space advantageously has a base part and rollers arranged thereon, so that it can be moved as a mobile box with little effort.

Im Begriff Membrane sollen dabei alle Bahnen aus geeigneten bekannten, zumindest teilweise schallabsorbierenden Materialien und Stoffen, Geweben, Folien, beschichteten Geweben usw. umfaßt sein. Einige bevorzugte Beispiele werden in der Beschreibung zu den Fig. 8 a-e geliefert.The room divider 1 according to the invention uses two membranes 2, which are either attached directly to the ceiling or are suspended on a standing, load-bearing structure 13, as shown in FIG. 1. The membranes are used for sound absorption and light reflection or for light transmission. The term membrane is intended to encompass all webs of suitable known, at least partially sound-absorbing materials and fabrics, fabrics, foils, coated fabrics, etc. Some preferred examples are provided in the description of Figures 8 a-e.
In der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1 sind die beiden Membranen 2 an beiden Seiten des Wandteilers 1 relativ straff an der tragenden Konstruktion 13 zwischen Befestigungspunkten 15 gespannt. Wie auch bei den nachfolgend beschriebenen Ausführungsformen kann die tragende Konstruktion 13 beispielsweise aus einem Trägerrahmen 8 bestehen, wobei zusätzliche Stangen, Stäbe, Seile oder kleine Trägerrahmen innerhalb der großen Rahmenkonstruktion vorteilhaft sind, an denen die Membranen 2 zusätzlich befestigt werden können. Die Raumteiler 1 als solche können entweder an Wänden befestigt werden, um sie am Umfallen zu hindern, oder Standbeine (nicht gezeigt) aufweisen, mit denen sie stabil auf dem Untergrund stehen. Ebenso ist es möglich, lediglich durch winkelige Verbindung mit anderen Raumteilern ein stabiles Raumteilersystem 3 zu schaffen, wie es in Fig. 6 dargestellt ist. Um die Lichtstreuung der Membranen 2 weiter zu verbessern, kann zwischen den Befestigungspunkten 15 jede Membrane 2 nochmals durch geeignete Auswölbe- anordungen 16 dreidimensional verformt werden, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt ist. Beispielsweise könnten abgerundete Druckflächen, die über senkrecht zur tragenden Konstruktion 13 angeordnete Verbindungsstreben mit der Rahmenkonstruktion 13 verbunden sind, die Membranen 2 zwischen den Befestigungspunkten 15 nach außen drücken. Auch der Einsatz von Federn erfüllt diesen Zweck. Dabei sollte die jeweilige Membrane nicht zu straff gespannt sein.In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the two membranes 2 on both sides of the wall divider 1 are stretched relatively tightly on the supporting structure 13 between fastening points 15. As with the embodiments described below, the load-bearing structure 13 can consist, for example, of a support frame 8, additional rods, rods, ropes or small support frames within the large frame structure to which the membranes 2 can additionally be attached being advantageous. The room dividers 1 as such can either be attached to walls to prevent them from falling over, or have legs (not shown) with which they stand stably on the ground. It is also possible to create a stable room divider system 3 simply by angular connection with other room dividers, as shown in FIG. 6. In order to further improve the light scattering of the membranes 2, between the fastening points 15 each membrane 2 can be deformed three-dimensionally again by suitable bulge arrangements 16, as shown in FIG. 2. For example, rounded pressure surfaces, which are connected to the frame structure 13 via connecting struts arranged perpendicular to the load-bearing structure 13, could push the membranes 2 outwards between the fastening points 15. The use of springs also serves this purpose. The membrane should not be too tight.
Es ist auch möglich, den Zwischenraum zwischen den Membranen mit Luft oder Gasen, beispielsweise schallabsorbierenden Gasen, zu füllen und anschließend zu verschließen, dargestellt in Fig. 3. Dann werden die Membranen 2 zwischen den Befestigungspunkten 15 in Bäuchen nach außen gedrückt und bilden so eine dreidimensionale Form, die sich durch hohe Lichtstreuung auszeichnet.It is also possible to fill the space between the membranes with air or gases, for example sound-absorbing gases, and then to seal them, shown in FIG. 3. Then the membranes 2 between the fastening points 15 in bellies are pressed outwards and thus form one three-dimensional shape, which is characterized by high light scattering.
Natürlich ist die Form der Auswölbungen der Membranen nicht auf die beschriebenen Ausführungsformen beschränkt, sondern es sind noch viele andere geometrische Anordnungen ebenso denkbar wie eine Kombination von unterschiedlichen Anordnungen an den zwei Wandflächen des Raumteilers.Of course, the shape of the bulges of the membranes is not limited to the described embodiments, but many other geometrical arrangements are just as conceivable as a combination of different arrangements on the two wall surfaces of the room divider.
Wie aus Fig. 4a ersichtlich, ist es bei Verwendung zumindest teilweise lichtdurchlässiger Membranen 2 im Sinne einer guten Ausleuchtung der durch den Raumteiler 1 hergestellten Teilräume möglich, Licht emittierende Gegenstände bzw. Lichtelemente 14 zwischen den beiden Membranen 2 an der tragenden Konstruktion 13 zu befestigen.As can be seen from FIG. 4 a, when using at least partially translucent membranes 2 in the sense of good illumination of the subspaces produced by the room divider 1, it is possible to fasten light-emitting objects or light elements 14 between the two membranes 2 on the supporting structure 13.
Ebenso ist es zur Gestaltung der entstehenden Teilräume möglich, an der tragenden Konstruktion 13 nach außen abragende Regalelemente oder dergleichen anzuordnen, wie in Fig. 4b dargestellt ist.It is also possible for the design of the resulting subspaces to arrange shelf elements or the like projecting outwards on the supporting structure 13, as shown in FIG. 4b.
Wie in Fig. 5 gezeigt, kann zwischen den beiden Membranen 2 zur besseren Schallabsorption und zum Verhindern von Lichteinfall aus dem benachbarten Teilraum eine zusätzliche isolierende Schicht 6, etwa aus Filz, angeordnet werden, die aus geeignetem schall- und/oder lichtabhaltendem Material bestehen kann. Ebenso ist es denkbar, zwischen die beiden Membranen 2 Sand, Kunstoffelemente, lichtdurchlässige Glaselemente oder dergleichen einzufüllen. Dann werden jedoch in kurzen Abständen Abstandshalter benötigt, wie sie zu Fig. 8a-e nochmals ausführlich erläutert werden.As shown in FIG. 5, an additional insulating layer 6, for example made of felt, can be arranged between the two membranes 2 for better sound absorption and to prevent the incidence of light, which can consist of suitable sound and / or light-retaining material , As well it is conceivable to fill sand, plastic elements, translucent glass elements or the like between the two membranes 2. Then spacers are required at short intervals, as will be explained again in detail in relation to FIGS. 8a-e.
In Fig. 6 ist ein Raumteilersystem 3 aus mehreren Raumteilern 1 gezeigt, die winkelig miteinander verbunden sind und ohne Standbeine auskommen. Die Raumteiler sind hierbei mit Rollen ausgestattet, so daß sich das komplette Raumteilersystem 3 beliebig im Raum verschieben läßt. Sind die einzelnen Raumteiler 1 beweglich miteinander verbunden, wird die Flexibilität des Aufstellens und der erzeugten geometrischen Raumteilung noch größer.6 shows a room divider system 3 comprising a plurality of room dividers 1, which are connected at an angle to one another and do not need any legs. The room dividers are equipped with rollers so that the entire room divider system 3 can be moved anywhere in the room. If the individual room dividers 1 are movably connected to one another, the flexibility of setting up and the geometric spatial division generated becomes even greater.
Fig. 7 zeigt einen Schnitt durch ein bevorzugtes Raumteilersystem 3. Hierbei sind die einzelnen Raumteiler 1 zu einem rechteckig oder kreisförmig ausgebildeten geschlossenen Raum 4 verbunden, der beispielsweise als Bürocontainer genutzt werden kann. Verbindet man die einzelnen Raumteiler 1 mit einem Bodenteil 5, das auf Rollen 9 steht, so ist ein kompletter Büroraum leicht bewegbar, da seine Wände extrem wenig Gewicht aufweisen. Um eine noch bessere Abschottung von der Umgebung zu erzielen, kann eine zusätzliche Abdeckung, beispielsweise aus Membranen, an der oberen Kante der Raumteiler 1 vorgesehen sein.7 shows a section through a preferred room divider system 3. Here, the individual room dividers 1 are connected to form a rectangular or circular closed room 4 which can be used, for example, as an office container. If you connect the individual room dividers 1 to a floor part 5, which stands on rollers 9, a complete office space can be moved easily since its walls have extremely little weight. In order to achieve an even better isolation from the surroundings, an additional cover, for example made of membranes, can be provided on the upper edge of the room divider 1.
Die Fig. 8a-e zeigen einige Beispiele für die Struktur der verwendeten Membranen auf. Eine Membrane ist üblicherweise einschichtig ausgebildet. Um eine bessere Schalldämpfung zu erzielen, kann sie auch zwei- oder mehrschichtig ausgebildet sein. In der in Fig. 8a dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht die Membrane 2 aus einem Vliesverbund 21 , bei dem ein Vlies 22 mit einem Gewebe 23 verbunden, etwa vernäht, wird. Anstelle des Vlieses 22 können auch Filze, Schäume oder andere leichte Materialien verwendet werden. Die Leichtigkeit des Materials läßt hierbei alle möglichen Formen der Membrane zu.8a-e show some examples of the structure of the membranes used. A membrane is usually made of one layer. In order to achieve better sound absorption, it can also be designed in two or more layers. In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 8a, the membrane 2 consists of a fleece composite 21, in which a fleece 22 is connected, for example sewn, to a fabric 23. Instead of the fleece 22, felts, foams or other light materials can also be used. The lightness of the material allows all possible forms of the membrane.
Fig. 8b zeigt eine Membrane aus zwei derartigen Vliesverbünden 21, die als Einzelbahnen miteinander in einem bestimmten Abstand über Verbindungsfäden 24 vernäht sind, wobei sich im Zwischenraum 25 zwischen den Bahnen Luft befindet. Eine solche Membrane ist immer noch recht leicht, ermöglicht vorteilhafterweise jedoch schon eine deutliche Schallabsorption.8b shows a membrane made of two such fleece composites 21, which are sewn together as individual webs at a certain distance via connecting threads 24, air being located in the space 25 between the webs. Such a membrane is still very light, but advantageously already allows a clear sound absorption.
In Fig. 8c ist eine Ausführungsform einer Membrane ähnlich wie in Fig. 8b dargestellt, mit dem Unterschied, daß sich im Zwischenraum 25 eine zusätzlich absorbierende Schicht 26, beispielsweise eine Filzeinlage, befindet. Dann kann auf die Verbindungsfäden 24 verzichtet werden, weil die Vliesverbünde 21 direkt mit dem Filz 26 verbunden, etwa aufgenäht, werden.8c shows an embodiment of a membrane similar to that in FIG. 8b, with the difference that an additional absorbing layer 26, for example a felt insert, is located in the intermediate space 25. The connecting threads 24 can then be dispensed with because the nonwoven composites 21 are connected directly to the felt 26, for example sewn on.
Als noch stärker schalldämmende Ausführungsform kann zwischen den äußeren Vliesverbünden 21 auch beispielsweise Sand 27 oder ein anderes grobkörniges Material eingefüllt werden, wie in Fig. 8d gezeigt, wobei die Verbindung zwischen den Vliesverbünden 21 dann beispielsweise durch sehr stark verankerte, dicke Fäden 30 erfolgen muß, um das Gewicht des eingefüllten Materials auszuhalten. Anstelle der Fäden können auch stärkere Folienstege (etwa z-förmige) an die Bahnen angeschweißt oder angenäht werden, die zum Durchlaß der eingefüllten Materialien gelocht sein können, oder andere Abstandshalter verwendet werden. Bei allen bisher gezeigten Ausführungsformen sollte die äußere Schicht lichtreflektierend sein, um eine ideale Ausleuchtung des Raumes zu liefern.As an even more sound-absorbing embodiment, sand 27 or another coarse-grained material can also be filled in between the outer fleece composites 21, as shown in FIG. 8d, the connection between the fleece composites 21 then having to be made, for example, by very strongly anchored, thick threads 30, to withstand the weight of the filled material. Instead of the threads, thicker webs (such as z-shaped ones) can also be welded or sewn onto the webs, which can be perforated for the passage of the filled materials, or other spacers can be used. In all of the embodiments shown so far, the outer layer should be light-reflecting in order to provide ideal illumination of the room.
Wenn man Lichtelemente zwischen die Membranen einbringt, ist es hingegen notwendig, daß die Membranen zumindest in Teilbereichen aus lichtdurchlässigem Material gebildet sind. Dazu bieten sich etwa Fluorpolymere an, die eine Lichttransmission von bis zu 95% im sichtbaren Bereich, kombiniert mit einem niedrigen Brechungsindex, aufweisen. Die direkten Lichtstrahlen werden hierbei an der Struktur des Gewebes optimal in Streulicht umgewandelt. Das Ergebnis ist ein sehr gleichmäßig verteiltes Streulicht mit einer geringen Schattenbildung. Will man Lichtdurchlässigkeit mit einer großen Schallabsorption kombinieren, so kann eine Membrane etwa aus zwei lichtdurchlässigen Materialbahnen 28 bestehen, die wie in Fig. 8d verbunden sind, und zwischen denen kleine lichtdurchlässige Glas- oder Kunststoffelemente 29 eingefüllt werden, wie in Fig. 8e gezeigt ist.If light elements are introduced between the membranes, on the other hand, it is necessary for the membranes to be formed from translucent material, at least in some areas. For example, fluoropolymers offer a light transmission of up to 95% in the visible range, combined with a low refractive index. The direct light rays are optimally converted into scattered light on the structure of the fabric. The result is a very evenly distributed scattered light with little shadow formation. If you want to combine light transmission with a large sound absorption, a membrane can consist, for example, of two transparent material webs 28, which are connected as in FIG. 8d, and between which small transparent glass or plastic elements 29 are filled, as shown in FIG. 8e ,
Selbstverständlich ist die vorliegende Erfindung nicht auf die dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. Weitere Kombinationen der oben genannten Stoffe und weitere geeignete Materialien, die die geforderten Eigenschaften besitzen, können hierbei Verwendung finden. Ebenso können die Eigenschaften der Membranen durch Beschichtungen, beispielsweise durch Metallisierung, verändert werden. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown. Other combinations of the above and other suitable materials that have the required properties can be used here. The properties of the membranes can also be changed by coatings, for example by metallization.
