Abstract

The system for the lowering of persons on a podium has two devices (PV1,PV2) for the raising and lowering of persons, each device having a platform (7) mounted to raise and lower in a frame (8), with the platforms installed directly next to each other or by means of one or more bridging elements (12). Each frame has four vertical uprights (9) for the direct or indirect support of the respective platform and especially to support slides which accommodate lever arrangements supporting the platform.

Description

Podiums at theaters, theaters, multi-purpose halls and the like are often provided with several, side by side flaps, the can be pivoted vertically downwards about a horizontal axis, so that a corresponding to the number of actuated flaps more or less large opening is formed in the podium. Through this opening can by means of a so-called person sinking a person, for example, from the field a sub-stage located below the podium on the level of the podium move upwards or down from the podium level be moved so that it is no longer visible.

As person sinking finds a device use, which in one Rack mounted, raised and lowered platform has. Is driven the Platform by means of an electric motor, which interacts with cables that on attack the platform. The size of the platform is such that its Length and width of a podium flap corresponds, so that, with open podium flap, the raised platform the space of the previously closed podium flap occupies.

Personenversenkungen, especially those that raise and lower a Person serve, thus have a platform of small size, for example an area of 1 m x 1 m, not only for lifting and lowering of Persons between sub stage and podium use, but quite also in other places of drama houses, theaters, multipurpose halls and the same. The use takes place, for example, in the area of the orchestra pit or on the podium, the side, the backstage, the stage, turntable cassettes, when it matters, persons of a certain level with regard to the podium or the stage to a higher level To raise or lower the level. To a mobility of such To reach person sinking, these are designed to be movable. this applies also for small-scale person subsidence, between sub-stage and Podium are effective.

It is also known in a podium a large-scale, built-in Provide table recess. On the table, for example, one from a Variety of people formed chorus to be placed, when open large flap from the lower stage to the level of the podium can be. This is quite a travel speed of up to 0.7 m per second conceivable. Such large-scale table recesses, for example have a platform area of 9 m x 1 m, for example as scissor lift table with the table for the admission of persons or as Ropes suspended table designed. A storage of the table in ropes requires however, a complex synchronization. Apart from that, the Construction costs of such a device with a large table considerably. Of the The most serious disadvantage, however, is the fact that table counters with large platform does not offer a possibility of individual combination, i. find use only in the concrete predetermined size of the platform can. Smaller units of the platform can thus with such a Tischversenkung not shown. For example, if only one person is to lift, The large table must be raised in total.

The object of the invention is to provide an arrangement of a person sinking create that configurable in any arrangement, especially any length is, ensuring a universal, simple formation of the arrangement should be.

The invention proposes an arrangement for sinking people at podiums, with at least two devices for raising and lowering persons, wherein the respective device mounted in a frame, raised and lowered Platform, as well as the platforms arranged directly next to each other or connected to each other by means of one or more bridge elements are.

Thus, according to the invention, a quasi-modular design of passenger sinking proposed to form the arrangement. The particular device is in particular standardized, i. it has dimensions that are the smallest, usual size of the podium flap corresponds. This is, for example, based on the receiving surface of the podium flap, 1 m x 1 m. Consequently, the Area of the platform also 1 m x 1 m. A platform size is also common of 1.5 mx 1 m.

By the standardized devices can be any arrangements for persons sinking, whereby it is regarded as preferred, if By the standardized devices can be any arrangements for persons sinking, whereby it is regarded as preferred, if several devices are arranged only one behind the other. hereby can be an elongated structure of devices for sinking people create.

So it is conceivable, for example, the arrangement for sinking people as To train tandem. In this case, there are two devices each with handle lowered platform provided. These devices can be immediate be arranged side by side, so that at a platform area of 1 m x 1 m results in a total area of the two platforms of 2 m x 1 m. For the purpose of the tandem, the two devices with one or more bridge elements be connected, in particular with one or two bridge elements. The respective bridge element should be between the platforms of the two devices also form an area of 1 m x 1 m, so that when using a bridge element, a length of the tandem of 3 m, when using two bridge elements a length of the tandem of 4 m. The design of the respective bridge element is arbitrary, if it allows a walk-in area in the specific example of 1 m x 1 m. For example, the respective platform of the person sinking a traverse, In particular, take a pull-out from the platform traverse, those with the adjacent platform or a crossbeam of the adjacent platform is connectable, so that these trusses or these trusses the one or forms or form a plurality of bridge elements. The respective bridge element may also be formed as a carrier which receives a bridge element platform, this carrier with the adjacent person subsidence or the adjacent passenger recess and the adjacent bridge element is connectable.

The arrangement for sinking persons can also be represented as a triplet, i.e. Three devices are used to lift and lower persons. Such a triplet is particularly useful when stringing together several successively arranged raised and lowered platforms to be accomplished. So it is considered advantageous if between each of the three devices for lifting and lowering persons a bridge element is arranged, or even between each device two Bridge elements are arranged, as described above in tandem is.

The respective device for raising and lowering the person is preferably traversable. This makes it uncomplicated, especially when lowered Positioning platform, the device from one place to another move, especially in the area of the sub-stage of an area below a closed flap to one area below another closed flap.

Due to the formation of the arrangement for sinking people from several individual Devices can be large-scale solutions, in particular so far were represented by a table recess, implemented extremely cost-effective become. Depending on the specific application, the person sinking individually or in combination, for example as tandem or triplet to be used.

When opening flaps in podiums form lateral below the flap Shaft openings. It is proposed under this aspect, doors, at the respective device for raising and lowering the person provided are to be used so that, in the open position of the door, the Close shaft opening. This ensures that when lifting and lowering the person this no risk of injury, especially by Pinching of limbs in the area of the shaft wall, subject. To cover the shaft opening in the region of the front side of the arrangement, at height the podium door located in the opening position, can separate panels be provided, which optionally at the top of the door of the device for lifting and sinks of persons are hinged pivotally. In this way and Way, it can be ensured that when juxtaposing devices for lifting and lowering people, except for an access and / or exit area for persons to the arrangement or of this, altogether a gapless Shaft wall is formed, causing a risk of injury Crushing, falling through manhole openings is eliminated.

Further features of the invention are in the subclaims, the description the figures and the figures themselves, it being noted that all individual features and all combinations of individual features essential to the invention are.

In the figure 1 is for a playhouse the orchestra pit 1 and the stage 2, the latter being formed by five podiums P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5 is. The respective podium has the same footprint, for example a length of 13 m and a width of 3 m. The podiums are tight along the side arranged close together. In each podium is an elongated opening, which is about one Longitudinal extent of 9 m and a width of about 1 m, formed, which is closed by means of nine podiums 4. Every podium flap 4 has a square surface, specifically a length and width of each 1 m. On this surface, a person (actor) can stand comfortably.

The respective panel flap 4 is pivotable along its one longitudinal side 5 stored in the podium P1, P2, P3, P4 or P5 and in the area facing away from them Long side 6 with the respective podium lockable means not shown. Consequently, by transferring the podium flaps 4 from the horizontal Closed position in the vertical opening position openings of any Length to be formed in the grid of 1 m in each podium.

In the area of these openings can be arranged person subsidence, thus devices for lifting and lowering people. In the figure 1 is the respective person burial with PV or, according to the legend to Figure 1 labeled with the designated symbol. The respective person sinking has a, as in particular supplementary to the representation of Figure 2 can be seen, raised and lowered platform 7, which, according to the Dimension of the respective panel flap 4 a square surface with has the dimensions 1 m x 1 m. When the podium flap 4 is open, the platform, provided that the person sinking PV exactly below that through the podium flap 4 released opening is placed in the podiums, raised to the position be, who has previously taken the closed podium flap 4. The Platform 7 thus forms a plane with the surface of the surrounding opening Podium. The respective platform 7 is stored, for example, in one Frame 8, that in unspecified manner four in the corners the platform 7 associated stand 9, vertically movable in the uprights Carriage and taken from these swivel lever, which at the bottom pivotally engage the platform 7, wherein associated with the uprights Cables pull the levers with the carriages upwards can, in such a way that first the carriages are moved up and then the levers are pivoted to the platform 7 on the stand. 9 to go out. The ropes are wound on rope drum, which over a synchronous transmission is associated with an electric motor. The respective person sinking is in the range of its lower four corners with four, if possible steerable wheels 10 provided. Furthermore, in said four corners Spindle 11 provided for locking the person sinking on position. These allow a tilt / height compensation to the bottom of the Sub stage UB on which the respective person sink PV can be moved.

As the illustration of Figure 1 can be seen, the respective person sinking PV individually, for example, be placed in the orchestra pit. It is, as the podium P1 can be seen, quite conceivable, three individual Persons sinking P5, without these being in operative connection, in the opening of the podium 1 to place. Illustrated is to the podium P1 that the first, fifth and ninth podiatry 4 is open and in the area the openings in the podium P1 three single person subsidence PV are arranged. It can thus be three people, at about a distance each of 3 m, by means of the three person submersion PV from the sub-stage Raise UB to the level of podium P1 or lower it in reverse.

Beim Podium P2 finden zwei Tandem Verwendung, wobei das eine Tandem eine Längserstreckung von 3 m und das andere Tandem eine Längserstreckung von 4 m aufweist. Hierzu sind, zur Aufnahme des einen Tandems, die erste bis dritte und sechste bis neunte Podienklappe 4 geöffnet, d.h. in ihre vertikale Öffnungsposition überführt. Im Bereich dieser Öffnungen sind die beiden Tandems angeordnet, wobei das eine Tandem durch zwei Personenversenkungen PV und ein Brückenelement 12 und das andere Tandem durch zwei Personenversenkungen PV und zwei Brückenelemente 12 gebildet ist. Das jeweilige Brückenelement ist in der Legende der Figur 1 mit dem entsprechenden Symbol wiedergegeben und kurz mit Brücke bezeichnet. Beim Podium P2 verbleiben somit die vierte und fünfte Podienklappe in ihrer horizontalen Schließposition. Im Podium P3 ist ein Triplett und ein Tandem gebildet. Das rechts dargestellte Tandem hat eine Längserstreckung von 2 m und ist durch zwei Personenversenkungen PV gebildet, deren Plattformen 7 unmittelbar nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Die Plattformen 7 durchsetzen in ihrer angehobenen Stellung die Öffnung im Podium P3, die zuvor von der achten und neunten Podienklappe 4 verschlossen war. Nur die siebte Podienklappe 4 bleibt verschlossen. Die erste bis sechste Podienklappe sind geöffnet und dort, zur Bildung des Triplett von 6 m Länge drei Personenversenkungen PV angeordnet, wobei die linke und die mittlere Personenversenkung mittels zweier Brückenelemente miteinander verbunden sind, während die mittlere und die rechte Personenversenkung mittels eines Brückenelementes verbunden ist.

Zum Podium P4 ist ein Triplett gezeigt, das eine Länge von 5 m aufweist und im Bereich der dritten bis siebten geöffneten Podienklappe 4 angeordnet ist. Dieses Triplett weist drei Personenversenkungen PV auf, wobei zwischen der linken und der mittleren Personenversenkung einerseits und der mittleren und der rechten Personenversenkung andererseits jeweils ein Brückenelement angeordnet ist.

Zum Podium P5 ist gleichfalls ein Triplett veranschaulicht, allerdings mit einer Länge von 7 m. Die zweite bis achte Podienklappe sind geöffnet und in diesem Bereich wieder drei Personenversenkungen angeordnet, wobei zwischen der linken und der mittleren Personenversenkung einerseits und der mittleren und der rechten Personenversenkung andererseits jeweils zwei Brückenelemente 12 angeordnet sind. Jedes Brückenelement 12 weist eine begehbare Fläche, somit Plattform auf, die quadratisch ist und eine Abmessung von 1 m x 1 m aufweist.

For the podiums P2 to P5 inventive arrangements for sinking people are shown:

The podium P2 has two tandem applications, one with a tandem length of 3 m and the other with a length of 4 m. For this purpose, for receiving a tandem, the first to third and sixth to ninth podiums 4 open, that is transferred to its vertical opening position. In the area of these openings, the two tandems are arranged, wherein the one tandem by two person subsidences PV and a bridge element 12 and the other tandem by two person recesses PV and two bridge elements 12 is formed. The respective bridge element is shown in the legend of Figure 1 with the corresponding symbol and briefly referred to bridge. At podium P2, the fourth and fifth podiums thus remain in their horizontal closed position. In the podium P3 a triplet and a tandem is formed. The tandem shown on the right has a longitudinal extent of 2 m and is formed by two person subsidences PV whose platforms 7 are arranged directly next to one another. The platforms 7 in their raised position pass through the opening in the podium P3, which was previously closed by the eighth and ninth podium flap 4. Only the seventh podium flap 4 remains closed. The first to sixth podiums are opened and there, arranged to form the triplet of 6 m in length three person subsidences PV, the left and middle Personenversenkung are connected by two bridge elements, while the middle and the right person sinking is connected by means of a bridge element.

For the podium P4, a triplet is shown which has a length of 5 m and is arranged in the region of the third to seventh open podium flap 4. This triplet has three person subsidences PV, wherein between the left and the middle person sinking on the one hand and the middle and the right person sinking on the other hand in each case a bridge element is arranged.

The podium P5 is also a triplet illustrated, but with a length of 7 m. The second to eighth podiums flap are opened and in this area again arranged three person subsidences, between the left and middle person sinking on the one hand and the middle and the right person sinking on the other hand two bridge elements 12 are arranged. Each bridge element 12 has a walk-on area, thus platform, which is square and has a dimension of 1 mx 1 m.

The above examples illustrate the universal combinability of Passenger recesses PV, either with immediately adjacent to each other Platforms 7 or in conjunction with one or more bridge elements 12th

Figures 2 and 3 show the arrangement for sinking people for in Figure 1 to the podium P2, tandem shown on the left of 3 m length using a bridge element 12.

Shown are in the figure 2 for the respective person sinking, there PV 1 and PV 2, the four stands 9, with two stands 9 in the longitudinal direction form a pair of stands, which is connected by means of a transverse strut 13, also are shown in the stands 9 indirectly mounted platform 7, the wheels 10th and the spindle stamp 11. With open podium door 4 projects the respective the vertically arranged podium flap 4 associated pair of uprights. 9 and connecting them cross strut 13 to just below the edge of Podienklappe 4 and it forms the platform 7 facing surface of the stand 9 a plane with the surface of the podium door 4, the floor surface represents. Thus, the platform 7, which in the figure 2 in its lowered Position is shown, in its fully raised position the space between take the shown in Figure 2 far left, closed podiums 4 flap. The same applies to the platform 7 of the person sinking PV 2. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the respective platform 7 assumes the sinking of persons PV 1 or PV 2 on its underside a carrier, in a plane slidable parallel to the plane of the platform 7, on. The two carriers 14 can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the platforms 7 and are in their, in Figure 3 shown extended position with each other generally with the Reference numeral 15 designated coupling elements connected to each other. in the Area between the two platforms 7 of the manholes PV 1 and PV 2, the beams 14 receive a bridge platform 16 of the same dimensions as the respective platform 7, thus a length and width of each has 1 m. By synchronous method of lowering people PV 1 and PV 2, the bridge platform 16 together with the platforms 7 the two man recesses procedure, so that a movable Total platform in size of 3 m x 1 m results. This intersperses the opening in the podium P2 in the area of the open podium flaps shown in FIG 4. The synchronous movability of the two person subsidence PV 1 and PV 2 is ensured by a master control 17, the person sinking PV 1 is assigned and a slave control 18, the person sinking PV 2 is assigned. A coupling cable of the two controllers 17 and 18 is designated by the reference numeral 19.

Illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 further access to the arrangement for sinking people. Front side, this is done by means of two access stairs 20 to the manholes PV 1 and PV 2 on their opposite sides.

Each person sink PV 1 or PV 2 is with fixed side walls 21, which are fastened to the uprights 9 and in the area of the access staircase 20 and provided with this doors facing away from the person sinking with doors. The walls and doors are preferably made of transparent plastic. FIG. 3 shows the open, access-side for the respective person sinking Door 22 and the other, also in the open position located door 23. The respective door 23 can be the assigned in the Stand 9 hinged hinge 24 pivot, with the outer pivot track the door 23 of the person sinking PV 1 with the reference numeral 24 and the outer Swing path of the door 23 of the person sinking PV 2 with the reference numeral 25 is illustrated. Since the doors 23 hinged opposite are, with one door 23, the shaft opening on one side of the Schachtes and with the other door 23, the shaft opening on the other side of the shaft, each between the two person subsidence, closed become. This is illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3. Because in the frontal Area of the two passenger recesses and the bridge element formed at the level of the downward, open side panel flap 4 a shaft opening still is present, this is, as the illustration of Figure 2 can be seen, closed by a panel 26 having the dimensions 1 m x 1 m and pivoted about a hinge 27 at the top of the respective door 22 pivotally is. If this panel 26 is not needed to cover the wellhead wall, it is folded away in the lower vertical position and thus lies on the outside of the associated door 22 at. By not illustrated in detail locking means the panel 26 is locked to stationary components of the podium. Further Locking elements for the two doors 23 are provided with the Stand cooperate stand 9, which faces the free end of the door 23. It is quite conceivable, the door of the respective person sinking removable to design and to mount between adjacent beams 9.

The cover described the shaft openings is the highest possible Ensuring the safety of people using persons, because the arrangement is freely accessible only in the area of the two access staircases is, thus no lateral shaft openings are present.

The embodiment according to FIG. 4 differs from that according to FIG Figures 2 and 3, characterized in that no bridge platform 16 is provided and the two beams 14 are inserted in their under the platforms 7 Position. This makes it possible to lower the people PV 1 and PV 2 close to each other, as shown in Figure 1 to the podium P3, right is. In such a solution, the access stairs are facing away Doors 23 are unhooked, as no shaft opening is to be covered.

To form a relatively stiff, jointly movable unit, the (two) person sinks in the area of the stand 9 in addition to each other be connected.

In the figures, dimensions of the arrangement and their parts, if of Interest, with stated.

In any case, the configuration of passenger submersion becomes a closed and gapless shaft formed in the lifting area of the platform; there are no shearing edges available.

For the purposes of the invention, the area of diversion is to be understood comprehensively. Thus, the arrangement of the invention is primarily for sinking or Lifting people; But it is certainly for the scenery and Proquisitenbeförderung suitable.
