Description

VARIABLE MAGNETIC MODULAR SYSTEM AND ITS PART

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a modular system, of which the individual parts can be flexibly combined thanks to a magnetic joint integrated in individual parts, forming their integral part. The invention also relates to individual parts of the magnetic modular system.

Background of the Invention Various vertical structures are used for separation of larger areas or creation of private areas within larger interiors. If the structure is used as a temporary solution, it is preferable for the structure to be demountable. Typical examples include a number of various separation walls or screens. Their basic modular segments consist of a basic frame, typically made of steel or wooden materials, which holds either a fixed wail or a textile sheet, attached in a common manner. Furthermore, these segments are equipped either with a stabilizing feet ensuring stable vertical position of individual segments, or with hinges for interconnection, while individual parts must be oriented towards one another so as to ensure their spatial stability. Use of the stabilizing feet impairs storability and handling, while the hinges restrict the moveability of individual elements relative to each other, not allowing easy replacement of the slip-on textile sheet.

The basic principle of the magnetic joint of two elements is presented in the technical solution CZ 2007-19430. It comprises a magnetic rolling connection with rolling faces fixed by a holder. Such connection is easily demountable, allowing rolling movement of two connected elements up to 360°, which results in a highly modular principle of use in many industries - e.g. in interior/exterior design, furniture assemblies, building blocks, toys, lighting systems etc. So far, no universal means of achieving such variability in so many industries has been introduced. Summary of the Invention

The drawbacks of the vertical structures described above, known within the state of the art, are eliminated by a variable magnetic modular system characterized in that it is formed by at least two parts, whereas each part consists of at least two struts and at least one separating element between them, while at least one strut in each part is equipped with at least one element of the magnetic joint to form a rotary magnetic joint between the connected parts. Another preferable variant consists of parts, where the struts and the separating element between them are parts of a rotary magnetic joint - elements of magnetic joint - directly integrated in the part's material.

The rotary magnetic joint can be a rolling joint, where the relevant part of the connected parts roll on each other without being separated, or a sliding joint, where the relevant parts of the connected parts slide on each other without being separated. The rotary magnetic joint allows relative rotary movement of at least two connected parts in the tangential plane constituted by the entire contact area of the outer envelopes of struts or the relevant parts of envelopes of the connected parts without being separated. The connected parts move relative to each other or can be situated in any angle towards each other. The rotary magnetic joint allows a great variability, i.e. many forms and formations of the modular system, as the installation and disassembly of variable units and their transformation is done by simple apposing/drawing away of individual parts. The units of the variable magnetic modular system can easily be dismantled to individual parts and stored in a space- saving manner.

The rotary magnetic joint between two parts includes two elements of the magnetic joint, while at least one of the rotary magnetic joint elements is preferably formed by at least one fragment from the group of magnetically active and magnetically reactive fragments in such a manner that at least one element of the magnetic joint contains at least one magnetically active fragment. The associated element of the magnetic joint in the other part preferably consists either of at least one fragment from the group of magnetically active and magnetically reactive fragments, or just of a magnetically reactive fragment. In the rotary magnetic joint of at least two parts, the relevant elements of the magnetic joint are situated in the connected parts in precisely matched positions. Magnetically active fragments can include e.g. a permanent magnet or solenoid, while magnetically reactive fragments include e.g. ferromagnetic steel.

In another preferable embodiment, the part consists of two struts, while each of the struts is equipped with a magnetic joint element and the pair of lateral struts is separated by at least one separating element, while the struts are higher than the height of the separating element. In such a case, it is preferable for each strut to protrude over and under the separating element. The magnetic joint elements are preferably situated in the protruding ends of each strut. The separating element can be made of any material such as wood, metal or plastic. The strut can be made e.g. of a wooden or other rod with a magnetic joint element in a centric hole. By joining the parts, a number of various assemblies can be created such as a screen, shield or furniture wall with seats, shelves or worktops.

One of the embodiments preferably includes one planar separating element of a tetragonal (e.g. rectangular) shape, which fills the area between two struts. The tetragonal separating element can be oriented either vertically to enhance the vertical separation of the space by the modular system or to be used as a hanger for various things, or horizontally, forming a shelf or seat.

Another embodiment preferably includes multiple separating elements between two struts, arranged at certain distance from each other, forming a ladder structure.

Furthermore, the parts of magnetic modular system allow outer coatings of convenient shape to be slipped-on quickly and easily. The sheets can be made of textile or other similar materials (e.g. plastics). These sheets can be exchanged quickly and easily, which is only possible with parts of magnetic modular system as per this invention thanks to the absence of hinges or other connection assembly elements protruding over the outer surface of the part envelope. In this preferable embodiment, the external sheets do not require any special attachment to the part's frame as they are fixed to it as they are. As per this invention, it is recommended to use a fabric with a moderate elasticity of at least 1% of the sheet perimeter. The above-mentioned solution ensures completely unique and very high pattern variability of individual parts. Another embodiment involves multiple separating elements in the form of cross plates, while it is convenient for at least one plate to be equipped with a suspended external accessory. The suspended external accessories can include slip-on shelves, seats or worktops, suspension hooks, suspended shelf with holes or flower-pot.

In another embodiment, the part consists of two struts, while each strut is equipped with a magnetic joint element and the pair of struts is separated by at least one separating element, while the body of this separating element of a curved or broken shape, protruding out of the plane defined by the struts in either one or both directions outwards this plane. The separating element as per this embodiment consists, apart from the pair of lower ends of struts, of at least one additional supporting point seating on the substrate, which makes the part a stable stand-alone structure. Preferably, this separating element in its cross section can be of the shape of a triangular prism, polygonal prism, cylinder, ellipsoid or general surface. This embodiment can also preferably include at least one additional separating element in the form of a crossbar in the form of a rod or plate forming a connection plane between the struts. Another embodiment includes a horizontal plate (cover) installed above/underneath the separating element, which lies on the plane perpendicular to the plane defined by both struts and is attached to the separating element. By joining two parts with curved or broken separating element and the horizontal plate, an enclosed mobile space is created, which can be used e.g. as a wardrobe.

In another embodiment, the part consists of at least three struts, while at least two of them are equipped with at least one magnetic joint element. In the cross section plane, the part's struts are arranged in the vertices of a triangle or polygon. Between every two adjacent struts, at least two separating elements are situated, which form an angle less than 180° between the struts and which are formed, in the cross section plane, by e.g. by a segment of envelope of a triangular prism or general prism. The third strut and other struts are used as additional supporting points on the substrate, which makes the part in the form of a three-legged or multi-legged unit a stand-alone structure. It is preferable for all the struts to be equipped with a magnetic joint element. In another preferable embodiment, the part consists of two struts, while each of the struts is equipped with a magnetic joint element and any pair of struts is separated by at least one separating element, while the body of this separating element protrudes out of the plane defined by the struts and consists of a shaped fill in the shape of segment of the envelope of triangular prism, polygonal prism, cylinder, ellipsoid or general surface, whose upper horizontal face forms the seat, worktop or shelf. The part's structure is a stand-alone unit thanks to the shape of the fill, which acts as at least one additional contact point with the floor. This embodiment can also preferably include at least one additional separating element in the form of a crossbar in the form of a rod or a plate forming a connection plane between the struts.

Another subject of the invention is a stand-alone part of variable magnetic modular system characterized in that it consists of at least two struts (2), while each strut (2) is equipped with at least one element (1) of the magnetic joint to form a rotary magnetic joint (8) with other parts, and of at least one separating element (3) between the struts (2). In a preferable embodiment, the part of magnetic modular system as per this invention can be further equipped with an outer coating.

The part of magnetic modular system can also be preferably designed as a monolithic body acting as a separating element as well as struts. The parts of the rotary magnetic joint - magnetic joint elements - can be preferably integrated in the body of such part or its strut.

In another embodiment, the vertical separating elements between the struts can form any adjustable angle; this adjustment is ensured by rotary attachments installed on the strut, which is common for both separating elements. As a complementary element to the subject of the invention, a separate strut can be used, consisting of e.g. a wooden rod with integrated magnetic joint element in a centric hole. Such a complementary element, attached to the substrate, can act as a fixing element for parts of magnetic modular system. Brief Description of the Drawings
