In the DE 198 28 505 A1 discloses a ship's cabin consisting of a supporting floor, a ceiling and wall elements. The floor is made of a plurality of layers, which have different bending strength and elasticity, whereby the cabin has improved properties in terms of their strength and basic rigidity. This is particularly important during the transport of the cabin and in the installation of the cabin on the ship of great importance. Consequently, transport damage due to the increased stiffening of the cabin can be avoided by the use of the above-mentioned soil. Disadvantageously, it has been shown that the use of this special floor to increase the lying strength of the cabin material and installation is expensive.

FR2391901 A1 discloses a cabin having a prefabricated sanitary cell, wherein connected pipe sections are arranged in a niche formed as a duct.

Object of the present invention is to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages, in particular to provide a cabin that has the necessary basic stiffness during transport, as well as during installation on the floating system, especially on the ship, causing damage to the cabin are almost prevented can.

The object is achieved by all features of claim 1. In the dependent claims advantageous developments are carried out.

According to the invention it is provided that the lines run in the room unit in such a way that the lines simultaneously act as stiffening means for the room unit.

The lines are according to the invention supply lines that can supply the cabin with different media. For example, the supply lines can supply the cabin with air, water, data, electricity, lighting, etc. According to the invention, the lines are integrated in the room unit in such a way that they simultaneously assume a stiffening function for the room unit. In this case, it may be appropriate for the lines to be arranged along the elongate extent and / or the width extent and / or the height extent of the room unit, which contributes significantly to an increase in the basic rigidity of the cabin.

In a further measure improving the invention it can be provided that the lines in the room unit are integrated in such a way that access to the lines from the interior of the room unit is made possible. The integration of the lines in the room unit contributes to the fact that the necessary cabin space can be optimized in a floating system, especially in a ship, which z. B. to an additional deck (more cabins with the same ship dimensions) or leads to a lower vessel, whereby a lower center of gravity of the ship can be realized. Consequently, less aluminum in the upper ship area is necessary, which must be installed there. In addition, air resistance can be reduced, which can save many tons of fuel even on slow ships. In contrast to the prior art, in which, inter alia, the lines are arranged on the outside of the cabin, the integration of the supply lines in the room unit according to the invention causes increased basic rigidity of the cabin, at the same time a significant advantage is that the lines from the interior of the room unit are accessible. It has been found that accessibility from the interior of the room unit to the supply lines can be advantageous during assembly of the cabin as well as during subsequent repair work and / or maintenance work. The arrangement of the supply lines on the outside of the room unit has the significant disadvantage that this area is very difficult to access, since especially in this area only a small space for the fitter is available. The shift of the supply lines in the room unit thus contributes significantly to the Installation effort or to keep the repair and maintenance costs as low as possible. Another advantage is that due to the integration of the supply lines in the room unit during transport of the cabin or during installation of the cabin on the floating system, especially on the ship, the supply lines are protected and thus not - as in the prior art - on any Touches on the outside of the room unit can be damaged.

It can be advantageous that the room unit is transported bottomless in the system, in particular in the ship. This means that the room unit is formed only of a ceiling and the associated walls. This unilaterally open box is placed on the bottom of the ship and then attached according to the ship's bottom, which will be discussed below.

The thickness of the sheet 12 may be less than 1mm, for example.

According to FIG. 6 to FIG. 8 is shown by way of example that the lines 30 may be provided with a cover 31, so that the lines 30 are covered to the interior 2 of the room unit 1. Here, different geometric shapes of the cover 31 are conceivable that in Figure 7a to Figure 7c also shown. In FIG. 6 and FIG. 8 the cover is 45 ° to the wall 20 and the ceiling 10 is arranged. Alternatively, the cover 31 may be a circular segment-like extent according to Figure 7a respectively. Other variants with respect to the geometry of the cover 31 are according to FIG. 7b and FIG. 7c shown.

The cover 31 according to FIG. 6 to FIG. 8 is advantageously removable so that access to the supply lines 30 from the interior 2 of the room unit 1 is possible. This is a great relief for the worker to carry out repair work or maintenance on the lines 30 from the interior 2 of the cabin 70. The ease of assembly is further increased when the cover 31 is releasably secured via a simple connection technology in the region of the lines 30. It is advantageous to arrange the cover element 31 via a latching connection and / or clip connection to the lines 30. As FIG. 6 such as FIG. 8 schematically show, the lines 30 extend through a metallic receiving body 32. According to FIG. 6 the receiving body 32 is attached to a metallic frame 7, wherein at the same time the wall 20 and the ceiling 10 are fixed to the frame 7 reliably. On the one hand, the frame 7 has a U-profile 6, in which the wall 20 is held in a form-fitting manner. On the other side, the frame 7 has a support surface on which the cover 10 rests in contact. In addition, the wall 20 and the ceiling 10 may be fixed to the frame 7 via non-positive and / or positive and / or cohesive fastening means.

The receiving body has a chamber 33 in which various lines 30 extend, the z. B. the cabin with air, water, data, electricity, lighting, etc. can provide. By way of example, it is shown that a luminous element 50, a sensor 51 and a loudspeaker 52 are arranged on the cover element 31. The sensor 51 is a motion sensor coupled to the light emitting element 50. Only with a defined movement within the cabin, an activation of the light-emitting element 50 takes place.

Furthermore, the receiving body 32 has two fastening receptacles 34, to which the wall 20 and the ceiling 10 are attached. In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting receptacles 34 are formed as a U-profile 6, in which form-fitting respectively the ceiling 10 and the wall 20 are held reliably.

Advantageously, the space 35 between the conduits 30 is defined by a material 36 FIG. 6 and FIG. 8 fillable. As a result, any rattling noises can be avoided, which arise for example by contacting the lines 30 with the metallic receiving body 32.

Also in the cover 31 according to FIG. 8 various elements are used: a light-emitting element 50, a sensor 51, a loudspeaker 52, and air outlet and / or inlet openings 53.

According to FIG. 10 another alternative of a possible arrangement of ship cabins 70 within a ship is shown. Each cabin has in the edge regions 3 lines 30 as stiffening means, which already in accordance with FIG. 1 to FIG. 8 have been described in different variations. The possible embodiments of the lines according to FIG. 1 to FIG. 8 are of course also in FIG. 10 used. However, shows FIG. 10 in that by arranging cabins 70 one above the other, the ship's building height can be substantially reduced. According to FIG. 10 a double-decker assembly of cabins 70 is shown with two frame profiles 6 defining the double deck assembly upwardly and downwardly. The ceiling 10 of the lower cabin 70 at the same time represents the bottom of the upper cabin 70. This can significantly reduce the ship's height.
