Description

The present invention relates to a wall structure having a preferably vertical surface.

Known from the prior art kitchens have a number of base cabinets, wall units and possibly tall cabinets, which are arranged depending on the available spatial conditions in the kitchen. Furthermore, it is known in the kitchen various functional elements, such as. Lamps, shelves, holders for kitchen rolls or spices and arrange this example. on the kitchen wall or on the mentioned cabinets z. B. to fix by a screw. Such a system is relatively inflexible, since the arrangement of said cabinets and elements is essentially predetermined.

From the prior art, it is also known to use a support frame for wall-hung kitchens are hung on the base cabinets. The free areas, ie the niches are covered by wall panels. Also This system is disadvantageous in that even when planning a final determination of the position of the fixed to the support base cabinets must be present.

The present invention is therefore based on the object, a wall structure of the type mentioned in such a way that it has a high flexibility with respect to the elements to be arranged on the wall structure, etc.

This object is achieved by a wall structure with the features of claim 1. Thereafter, it is envisaged that the structure comprises or consists of a multi-dimensional wave geometry with repeating shapes, the waves of which preferably extend in a horizontal direction or preferably in a substantially horizontal direction, the wave geometry having one or more attachment means, in particular grooves, in or where one or more elements are arranged or can be arranged, wherein the fastening means and the said elements are designed such that at least one of the elements can be fixed at different positions on the wall structure on the side of the shaft geometry.

According to the invention, a module in the form of a wall structure is thus provided, which allows a flexible spatial design, in particular of vertical surfaces, such as a kitchen wall. However, the present invention is not limited to the kitchen area, but is in principle, for example, in any type of buildings in the outdoor and indoor as well as in mobile devices, such as mobile homes, etc. used. So it is for example possible to use the wall structure in the outdoor area, for example in the area of a terrace or other outdoor seating. Even surfaces, in particular vertical surfaces of furniture elements may be provided with a wall structure according to the invention.

In one possible embodiment of the present invention, the wave geometry has a prismatic structure.

The present invention further relates to a wall structure with a preferably vertically arranged surface, on or in which one or more fastening means, in particular grooves are arranged, in or on which one or more elements in the form of panels are arranged or can be arranged, wherein the Fastening means and the said panels are formed such that at least one of the panels is fixable at different positions of the wall structure. This wall structure may also have the wave profile described.

It is essential that one or more panels can be arranged or arranged on the wall structure, which can be fixed at different positions of the wall structure. These panels can form two-dimensional "wall elements", which preferably extend parallel to the plane of the wall structure or the shaft geometry.

Preferably, the panels are formed as rectangles or squares with vertical and horizontal edges.

The panels preferably have a flat visible surface and are disposed upstream of the surface of the wall structure or the wave structure and can be positioned at different locations of the wall structure. You can, for example, in the horizontal direction or in another direction, preferably designed to be displaceable in the direction of the troughs and mountains. Furthermore, they can be fixable to the wall structure at different vertical and / or horizontal positions, for example. In this way it is possible for the user to position the at least one panel on the wall structure as he wishes. In the area not covered by panels, it is possible to leave free a functional area which serves as a working area or functional area for the user can. In this area, the user can, for example, fix functional elements, such as lights, holders, shelves etc., to the wall structure, whereas the other areas have the panels. In this work area, the above-mentioned wave geometry can be exposed, ie form the user-accessible and visible surface of the wall structure.

In principle, the invention also includes the case that the entire surface of the wall structure is formed by said panels or that no panels are arranged.

The wall structure may be arranged vertically or inclined relative to the vertical forward or backward. A combination of these arrangements is possible.

The wave structure or the lamellae or the like forming these preferably run in the horizontal direction and may also be inclined relative to the horizontal. The present invention is not limited to a wave structure extending in a horizontal or substantially horizontal direction. Also, an oblique or even a vertical arrangement or orientation of the wave troughs and mountains is conceivable and encompassed by the invention.

The "fasteners" can perform a function carrying the element. However, the invention also includes the case that the fastening means only make a certain fixation of the element, such as e.g. the inclusion in a groove, the actual, the element-bearing function by another component, such as. a carrying structure is adopted. The element may thus be associated with the attachment means in any manner, e.g. extend with a portion through this or be worn through it.

The wall structure according to the present invention may be constructed overall flat and have a zig-zag structure on one or both sides, ie have a wave structure in vertical section, wherein the shape of the waves is not limited to round wave profiles in the strict sense, but also includes profiles that have corners and / or edges, such as polygonal pattern in section. In one possible embodiment of the present invention, the wave geometry has a prismatic structure.

The wall structure may be statically configured such that it does not require any further support frames, etc., and / or also comprise or communicate with one or more support frames.

Characteristic of the wall structure according to the invention is a wave geometry, i. the sequence of protrusions and depressions, which preferably extend in the horizontal direction, i. "Wave crests" and "wave troughs" preferably each run horizontally. The peaks meet the viewer, whereas the troughs extend away from the viewer. The wall structure fixed and adapted by a positive / negative logic. As stated, however, an arrangement deviating from the horizontal orientation is also conceivable, such as an oblique or even a vertical orientation of the wave crests and wave troughs.

The shaft geometry according to the invention can have one or more fastening means, in particular grooves, in which one or more elements are arranged or can be arranged, wherein the fastening means and the said elements are designed such that at least one of the elements can be fixed at different positions of the shaft geometry.

The invention includes the case that the wave geometry is provided with such elements as well as the case that the wave geometry has no such elements, but is suitable for their fixation. Whether, at which positions and with which elements the wave geometry is provided with said elements, the user can determine by determining which Element at which point of the wave geometry is set, the choice of locking possibilities of the element or elements is arbitrary. It is conceivable to mount the element or elements in the fastener or to fix it in any other way.

The fastening means can thus have any shape and / or function. In a preferred embodiment, it is a groove into which one or more elements can be inserted and / or hooked. It is preferably provided that the elements inserted into the groove can be displaced along the groove.

The groove or other fastening means may be present in the "troughs", i. be arranged at the respective lowest points of the wave geometry. This has the advantage that the fasteners are less noticeable. However, any other arrangement of fasteners, i. also on the "wave mountains" or in intermediate positions possible.

The possibility of arranging the element or elements at different positions of the shaft geometry ensures a high degree of flexibility.

Preferably, the wave geometry or the wall structure having these is arranged vertically.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that an individual fixation of the elements to be adapted possible by the recurring structure in freely selectable height grid, these elements include any body, technical modules and other elements. This height grid can be obtained by different width wave structures, ie by a different distance of the troughs or wave crests to each other. The height grid can alternatively or additionally be adjusted by the choice of the distance of the fastening means, ie for example the grooves from each other.

The elements may comprise, for example, one or more worktops, shelves, holders, lights, cabinets, flat elements, such as panels, refrigerators or freezers, stoves, cookers and other heating elements, etc.

If the height grid is selected, it is preferably provided that in this level the horizontal position within the wave geometry, i. can be freely selected within the zig-zag structure or prism structure.

The visible surface of the wall structure can be formed by the wave geometry and / or by arranged on the fastening means elements. At the points where no such element is arranged, the wave geometry is exposed and thus forms the visible surface of the wall structure. At the locations where one or more of said elements are located, they may form the visible surface, i. In these areas, the wave geometry is obscured. Thus, it is possible as needed to cover the entire wave geometry, for example, by cabinets, shelves and panels that cover the wave geometry.

Alternatively, it is also possible not to cover the entire wave geometry, but to leave one or more areas free.

In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that it at the one or more elements to storage or receiving elements, such as shelves, shelves, knife blocks or cabinets, holders or functional elements with at least one technical function, such as lights, cooling or heating elements or the wave geometry deluding objects, how panels act.

For example, the use of luminaires, cooling or heating elements or other consumers can be adapted to individual or standardized solutions worldwide.

The type and number of elements is not limited. The user can decide for himself which elements he wants to arrange at which position. Thus, for example, it is possible to create by moving or repositioning one or more elements, an area in which the wave geometry provides the visible area, this area being previously covered by one or more elements, such as panels.

In addition to a static and / or cladding function, the wave geometry can also have one or more additional technical functions. Thus, it is conceivable that one or more supply and / or disposal lines, such as electricity, gas or water lines are provided, in the wave geometry or in front of or behind the wave geometry, preferably in or on the side facing away from the visible side of the wave geometry are arranged or formed by the wave structure.

It is conceivable, for example, the ability to remove electricity via sliding contacts or to pass various media at this contact point. It is thus conceivable, for example, to provide power for operating a fume hood at one point of the shaft geometry and also a duct for diverting the exhaust air, wherein the location is preferably the location or area at which the element is fixed to the wall structure , The same applies to the supply of fresh water and the removal of used water.

All of these supply and disposal lines can be arranged on or in the shaft geometry. They can be arranged at one or more points of the wave geometry or designed such that they can be moved into different positions of the wave geometry. So it is conceivable, for example, a power supply or to make a water connection movable relative to the wave geometry so that it can be positioned where it is needed.

The supply and / or disposal lines can be arranged such that they can be used by a fastened in the fastening means, in particular in one or more grooves element. As stated, it is conceivable that the grooves or other fastening means serve not only for fixing the element or elements, but also as transfer points for the supply and / or disposal of any media.

The fastening means and the said elements may be designed such that the elements are displaceable relative to the fastening means in the shaft direction, preferably in the horizontal direction. The user can thus easily change the arrangement of the elements relative to the wave geometry. For example, it may displace a panel wall so that the area where the panel wall was located prior to translation now becomes a visible area of the shaft geometry that may serve to receive one or more elements.

If necessary, the surface can also be realized in all known materials by coatings and / or cover layers. It is preferably provided that the static support structure is ensured by the wall structure. This is possible through suitable materials, such as metal or plastic. The wall structure can be coated as needed, it being conceivable that this coating or cover layer represents an element that can be attached to the shaft geometry by the fastening means. A textile coating and / or the use of OLED is likewise encompassed by the invention.

The wall structure is preferably made of metal, preferably of sheet steel.

The wall structure may comprise at least one coating which is arranged on the visible side of the wall structure and / or on the non-visible side of the wall structure and preferably consists of a coating, cover layer, anti-noise layer or refractory material. It is preferably provided that the wall structure on the non-visible side is additionally provided with anti-rumbling material and / or with a refractory material. Thus, structural requirements such as e.g. Fire loads are met.

The wall structure may be formed such that it is statically stable and / or that a support structure is provided, which communicates with the wall structure and supports and / or supports.

The wall structure can be formed by individual panels, which are arranged such that a wave structure results through them.

The cross-sectional profile of the wave geometry is arbitrary. Any profiling with multiply successive "wave crests", i. E. elongated elevations, and "troughs", i. elongated depressions, which are each arranged between two "wave mountains". It is conceivable to design the wave geometry such that it consists of a profile or lamellae arranged in a zigzag pattern, i. a profile or lamella in the cross-sectional profile of the shaft geometry seen from bottom to top forward, i. projecting towards the user, the following profile or lamella away from the user, i. e. inclined to the rear, the following profile or louver is tilted forward again, etc. The angle that occupy the individual profiles or slats relative to the horizontal is arbitrary per se. Preferably, this is in the range between 20 ° and 60 °, but also larger or smaller angles are conceivable. It is also possible that some of the profiles or lamellae extend in the direction of the horizontal.

It is preferably provided that the structure is designed in such a way that from the perspective of a viewer who stands in front of the wall structure, a succession of edged or wavy, preferably triangular profiles results whose tips or their ridge or crest are each turned towards the viewer and their flanks each extend to the rear. In particular, the wave geometry thus has a prism structure.

The individual profiles or lamellae can be flat and in particular flat. However, curved embodiments of the invention are also included.

The shaft geometry can be composed of individual profiles / lamellae, which are joined together to produce the shaft geometry, or also of elements which in turn are composed of a plurality of profiles / lamellae or consist thereof and are then assembled to produce the shaft geometry.

It is also conceivable that the wave geometry has a sawtooth profile or a polygonal profile or a cornerless profile. In the latter case it is provided that the profile consists only of curves, which has comparable to a sine function consecutive "mountains" and "valleys", wherein the height of the curves and their distance from each other is arbitrary.

In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that at least one of the elements is mobile, preferably movable and in particular is formed by a movable carriage. One or more of the mentioned elements can thus also be mobile. These mobile movable (mobile) elements can be integrated into the zigzag structure or prism structure of the wall structure.

It is conceivable that one or more bearings, in particular roller bearings are arranged on the individual elements and / or on the fixed wall structure, which allow a movement of the arranged on the wall structure elements.

These bearings can be designed, for example, as ball bearings or as rollers, rollers or the like. For this purpose, it is preferably provided that the wall structure itself has grooves or other receiving areas, which preferably follow the grooves between two profile sections. In the receiving areas, said bearing or sliding elements can be arranged.

At least one of the elements, in particular at least one of the movable elements, can have at least one memory, in particular for energy in the form of electricity or heat or food or refuse. It is conceivable, for example, that the element has a battery and is moved in the charged state to the wall structure and is associated with this. In this case, the power supply of other, related to the wave structure elements can be done by the mobile element.

Of course, this does not only apply to the power supply, but also to all other media, e.g. Water, gas and also for disposal, such as for the reception of garbage, fume extraction pipes, etc.

The individual elements, in particular the profiles or lamellae, which form the wave geometry, can be designed to be removable and / or movable, in particular pivotable. So it is conceivable that one or more blades are pivoted or otherwise moved so that they form the inlet opening for a fume hood. Behind the slats can thus be one or more exhaust ducts of a fume hood.

It is also possible to form one or more profiles or lamellae as functional elements, for example as light-emitting profiles or light louvers.

For the coupling of the mobile element with the wall structure specially provided docking elements can be provided. However, it is also conceivable that the mobile element is coupled to the same fastening means, as all other elements, preferably on the above-mentioned grooves.

The present invention further comprises a structure comprising at least one wall structure according to one of the preceding claims 1 to 18, wherein at least one support structure is provided, to which the wall structure is attached. The support structure may in turn be connected, for example, to a wall, in particular to a building wall, for which purpose a screw connection is preferably provided.

The support structure may consist of or comprise vertical and / or horizontal profiles, wherein it is preferably provided that the horizontal profiles are attached to the vertical profiles and preferably suspended in these and wherein the wall structure is fixed exclusively or on the horizontal profiles.

The support structure thus forms a structure carrying the wall structure with the wave geometry and / or supporting structure.

The present invention further relates to a kitchen, a building including the outdoor area or a piece of furniture or a mobile device, such as a vehicle, aircraft, etc. with at least one wall structure according to one of claims 1 to 18 or with a structure according to claim 19 or 20. Preferably, the wall structure extends as a vertically arranged element in the kitchen. Preferably, the wall structure is also or only in the wall region which extends up to the rear edge of the worktop. The wall structure can thus form the visible surface of the niche or region, which preferably extends perpendicular to the work surface or worktop of a kitchen at the rear side.

The wall structure or the structure according to the present invention is therefore not only suitable for indoor use, such as a kitchen, but also for outdoor use, such. B. a terrace, another patio or the like. In particular, in these cases, the use of a mobile element is advantageous, since this can supply, for example, electricity, gas, water and can also be used for disposal, such as for receiving garbage.

The present invention offers the possibility of lifelong individualization.

Any regions of the world can be supplied with individual solutions, since the wall structure according to the invention - as stated above - can be made flexible.

This wave geometry is arranged in the embodiment shown here only on one side, ie it is only on the user facing (according to FIG. 11 right) side, whereas the other side (according to FIG. 11 left side) is formed flat. However, the invention also encompasses the case where the wave geometry is present on both sides of the wall structure, ie on the side facing the user and on the side facing away from the user.

Like this further FIG. 11 have emerged, are in the shaft geometry Funktionsnuten 13, 14, which may be arranged for example in the "troughs" (grooves 13), or in the "wave crests" (grooves 14) or in interposed areas.

It is preferably provided that one or more function grooves 13, 14 are arranged in each of the "wave troughs", "wave crests" or regions arranged therebetween, ie, one or more than one functional groove 13, 14 is preferably formed per unit 15 forming the wave geometry intended. Unity is understood to be a profile element that succeeds one another in the wave geometry is arranged, that is, in the present embodiment, a substantially roof-shaped ausgestaltetes profile element. The plurality of profile elements or units 15 forming the wall structure 10 may be formed from a single part, that is to say components of a component or formed from a plurality of units 15 which are connected to one another.

Instead of functional grooves 13, 14, i. Grooves having at least one function, e.g. take over the attachment, the power supply, etc. of the elements, any other fastening means may be provided.

The grooves 13, 14 are configured in such a way that can be inserted into these a plurality of different elements and indeed at any position along the groove, preferably suspended. According to FIG. 11 is provided as an element 100, a panel, a cabinet, a functional element, etc.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which in the wave geometry of the wall structure 10, a basin 110, such as a sink basin, and a shelf with extension 120 are used.

The grooves 13, 14 preferably extend over the entire width of the wall structure 10.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which the elements are formed by arranged in different height positions upper cabinets 130 and a comparatively long shelf 140 or kitchen worktop possibly with an extract that in a

Area below the wall cabinets 130 is arranged. All of these elements can be arranged at different vertical and vertical positions as desired, so that the user is individually optimally ergonomic.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment with elements in the form of two wall units 130, a base cabinet 150 and a tall cabinet 160 and a movable element 170. This has a frame 174 and a receiving area 178 possibly as storage space, the frame 174 is moved by rollers 176.

It has sockets 172 on its front side. The movable element 170 draws power from the wall structure 10, which is on the of FIG. 1 turned away back with one or more supply lines, such as lines for electricity, water, gas, etc. may be executed. For this purpose, the movable element 170 on the side, where it is connected to the wall structure 10, contacts or other connection elements, which are designed such that current or other medium from the wall structure 10 in the movable element 170 and / or the movable element 170 are guided in the wall structure 10. Preferably, these contacts or connection points as well as the wall structure are formed such that it is sufficient to drive the movable element 170 to the wall structure 10 so that it comes into contact with the wall structure 10. In this connected state, the movable element 170 is connected to the supply and / or disposal lines of the wall structure 10, preferably without further measures being required.

Alternatively or in addition to electricity, the movable element can also be used for the provision of other media, such as gas, water etc or for disposal, such as waste and therefore be designed with appropriate lines and / or containers and the necessary connections.

The wall structure 10 can thus not only take over the fixing function for the elements, but also the same with the required media, such as electricity etc. supply and / or dispose of these, ie, for example, for the discharge of sewage, exhaust air, etc. serve.

It is preferably provided that the fastening means, such as e.g. Grooves serve not only to the fastening element to the wall structure in the region of the corrugated geometry, but additionally the supply and / or disposal of the thus fixed element with one or more media, such. Electricity, water, gas etc. possible. This supply and / or disposal can be done through the attachment means. For this purpose, the wall structure itself may have one or more supply and / or disposal lines, such as channels, conduits, etc., or be in communication therewith, wherein these are arranged such that it is possible to supply one, preferably more, of the elements fixed in the attachment means ,

The moveable module may include a memory, such as memory. have a battery, which has the advantage that it the stored medium, such. Current elsewhere, such as in the outdoor area can provide.

The movable element 170 is designed in the embodiment shown here with rollers. It may in principle be a mobile element, which is arranged movable relative to the wall structure.

FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in which the wall structure 10 forms the side wall of a furniture element 200, which in turn consists of several cabinets 210 and a work surface 220.

The term "wall structure" is thus not limited to a wall in the strict sense, but includes any structure (straight or curved) regardless of their orientation (vertical, inclined, horizontal) and size.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment in which wall structure 10 is provided with three upper cabinets 130 and three lower cabinets 150, wherein in this figure and in the other figures, for better clarity, the reference numerals of the support structure are omitted. Furthermore, panels 190 are provided as elements which extend around the cabinets 130, 150 and / or between them and the front side of the shaft geometry. FIG. 7 shows the embodiment according to FIG. 6 with one of the upper cabinets 130 removed. Out FIG. 7 It can be seen that the panels 190 are formed as a planar element, which forms another of the elements, which can be connected to the wall structure 10 and in this case serves as a cladding. Reference numeral 400 denotes the surface of the base cabinets or worktop.

From the FIGS. 6 and 7 It can also be seen that the wave geometry of the wall structure 10 can be open, ie can form the visible surface of the wall structure 10. This is in the in the FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrated embodiment in the area 300 above the work surface 400 of the case.

FIG. 8 shows an embodiment with only one wall unit 130 and three base cabinets 150. From this figure it can be seen that laterally and below the upper cabinet 130 no panels are arranged, ie in this area, the wave geometry is free.

In principle, the invention also includes the case that the entire wave geometry is covered by elements. In this case, the wave geometry by the user is not visible from the front.

It is preferably provided that all of the elements shown in the grooves 13, 14 are arranged displaceably, resulting in a flexibility in the horizontal direction. Due to the existing in the vertical direction grid dimension is further possible a variability in the vertical direction.

FIG. 10 shows different possible embodiments of the wave geometry in each case in cross section. FIG. 10 a) shows a sawtooth profile in which the inclined elements 500 project from top to bottom and are connected by horizontal sections 502. FIG. 10b) shows a sawtooth profile in which the inclined elements 500 project from bottom to top and are connected by horizontal sections 502. Out FIG. 10c) is a profile can be seen, which consists of alternately arranged valleys 504 and mountains 506, which have the same height relative to the vertical central plane and are mirror-symmetrical with respect to a horizontal plane. In particular, this results in a prism structure.
