Die zahllosen Systeme, die Möbelanbieter dafür in ihrem Programm haben, stellen vom Grundkörper betrachtet - wenn es sich nicht um Schreibtische handelt - in der Regel nichts weiter als offene Rechtecke dar, die sich mitunter erheblich im Design unterscheiden, dafür aber in der Regel alle die gleichen Nachteile aufweisen:The countless systems that furniture suppliers have in their program, when viewed from the main body - if it is not about desks - usually nothing more than open rectangles that sometimes differ significantly in design, but usually all the have the same disadvantages:

Als erstes ist dabei die Befestigung der einzelnen Elemente untereinander zu nennen. Diese erfolgt in der Regel durch mechanische Verbindungen z.B. Verschraubungen, was wiederum genau gegenüberliegende Systemmerkmale, Bohrungen erfordert, da ansonsten keine oder keine stabile Verbindung möglich ist. Wer einmal versucht hat, mehrere Regale aus einer bekannten Serie eines ebenso bekannten skandinavischen Möbelhauses aufzubauen und miteinander zu verbinden, wird davon zu berichten wissen, mit welchen Mühen und mit wieviel Schweiß dies verbunden ist: Bohrungen passen nicht sofort genau übereinander oder brechen leicht aus und schließlich lässt die ganze Kombination doch an Stabilität vermissen und tendiert dazu, sich in die eine oder andere Richtung verdächtig zu neigen.The first thing to do is to attach the individual elements to one another. This is usually done by mechanical connections such as glands, which in turn requires exactly opposite system features, holes, otherwise no or no stable connection is possible. Anyone who has ever attempted to build and connect multiple shelves from a well-known series of a well-known Scandinavian furniture store will know how much effort and how much sweat this has to do: holes do not fit right over each other or immediately break out easily and finally the whole combination misses stability and tends to be suspicious in one direction or the other.

Auch das optische Erscheinungsbild solcher Systeme weist Nachteile auf: Da die Möbel in der Regel aus Holz - häufig lediglich beschichtetem Pressspan - gefertigt sind, welches sich kaum biegen lässt, setzen sich die Module aus Platten zusammen, die an den Kanten der üblicherweise rechteckigen Formen zusammenstoßen. Dies führt zu deutlich sichtbaren Fugen, die optisch nicht sehr gefällig sind.The visual appearance of such systems also has disadvantages: since the furniture is usually made of wood - often only coated pressboard - which can hardly be bent, the modules are composed of panels which collide at the edges of the usually rectangular shapes , This leads to clearly visible joints that are not visually pleasing.

Sollen die Grundkörper noch mit Türen, Fronten, Klappen oder dergleichen versehen werden, dann werden diese üblicherweise vorgebaut, d.h. die Scharniere werden zwar im Innern des Grundkörpers angebracht, die Fronten aber aufgesetzt, d.h. springen aus der Flucht, die vom Grundkörper selbst aufgespannt wird, nach vorne. Auch dies ist optisch eher nicht wünschenswert, insbesondere dann, wenn das eine Modul beispielsweise mit einer Türe versehen wird, das Nachbarelement aber nicht. Durch das Vorspringen der Aufsätze entsteht ein unruhiger Gesamteindruck, den es eigentlich zu vermeiden gilt.If the bodies are still to be provided with doors, fronts, flaps or the like, then these are usually prefabricated, i. Although the hinges are mounted inside the body, but the fronts are put on, i. e. jump out of the run, which is spanned by the main body itself, forward. Again, this is not desirable visually, especially if one module is provided with a door, for example, but not the neighboring element. The protrusion of the essays creates a restless overall impression that should actually be avoided.

Auch in der Längenausdehnung sind entsprechende Module, die aus Holz gefertigt werden, beschränkt. Sollen die Grundkörper nach vorne und hinten offen sein, lassen sich Längen über 80 cm kaum verwirklichen, da die Konstruktion keine ausreichende Stabilität mehr aufweist und sich aus der rechteckigen Form leicht in ein Trapez verschiebt. Selbst wenn solche Grundkörper dann durch eine Rückfront stabilisiert werden, bleibt als Nachteil erhalten, dass sich das Holz bei Maßen oberhalb von 100 cm bei hinreichender Belastung - beispielsweise durch Bücher oder insbesondere Aktenordner - über die gesamte Länge biegt. Aus diesem Grunde werden Regale aus Holz beispielsweise nur mit einer Breite von maximal 100 cm ohne Mittelwand oder sichtbarer Verstärkung angeboten.Also in the linear expansion are appropriate modules that are made of wood, limited. If the base body is to be open to the front and back, lengths over 80 cm can hardly be realized, since the construction no longer has sufficient stability and easily shifts from the rectangular shape into a trapezoid. Even if such basic bodies are then stabilized by a rear face, the disadvantage remains that the wood bends over its entire length at dimensions above 100 cm under sufficient load, for example through books or in particular file folders. For this reason, shelves made of wood, for example, only with a width of 100 cm maximum without middle wall or visible reinforcement offered.

Gegenstand der deutschen Patentanmeldung DE 19623129 A1 (ZACHEY) sind Möbelbauelemente, die jedoch rein mechanisch miteinander verbunden werden.Subject of the German patent application DE 19623129 A1 (ZACHEY) are furniture components that are, however, purely mechanically connected.

Das deutsche Muster DE 20011351 U1 (MOORMANN MÖBELPRODUKTIONS GMBH) betrifft ein Regalsystem, bestehend aus einer magnetischen Rückwand, an die einzelnen Elemente, die selbst ebenfalls eine magnetische Rückwand aufweisen, befestigt werden können.The German pattern DE 20011351 U1 (MOORMANN MÖBELPRODUKTIONS GMBH) relates to a shelving system consisting of a magnetic rear wall to which individual elements, which themselves also have a magnetic back wall, can be attached.

Das deutsche Muster DE 29807545 U1 (LERCHE) betrifft ganz allgemein Mehrzweckmöbel, die aus kastenförmigen, jedoch fest montierten Elementen besteht.The German pattern DE 29807545 U1 (LERCHE) generally refers to multi-purpose furniture consisting of box-shaped but firmly-mounted elements.

Gegenstand des deutschen Musters DE 20 2015 005506 U1 (SCHWAB) betrifft rechteckige Stahlkuben, die durch magnetische Abstandshalter miteinander verbunden werden. Hier geht es zwar ebenfalls darum, die Elemente miteinander zu verbinden, jedoch nicht im Sinne eines lückenlosen Zusammenfügens, sondern mit Beabstandung.Subject of the German design DE 20 2015 005506 U1 (SCHWAB) refers to rectangular steel cubes, which are interconnected by magnetic spacers. It is also about connecting the elements with each other, but not in the sense of a complete assembly, but with spacing.

AUFGABE DER ERFINDUNGOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung hat daher darin bestanden, ein Möbelsystem in Modulbauweise zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei denen die einzelnen Module fest verbunden, aber leicht voneinander zu lösen sind, ohne dass dabei sichtbare Befestigungsmittel verwendet werden. Gleichzeitig sollte das Modulsystem es erlauben, auch Breiten über 120 cm zu verwirklichen, ohne dass es hierzu stabilisierender Einbauten oder einer Rückwand bedarf.The object of the present invention has therefore been to provide a furniture system in modular design, in which the individual modules are firmly connected, but easy to solve each other, without using visible fasteners. At the same time, the module system should make it possible to realize widths of more than 120 cm, without the need for stabilizing internals or a rear wall.

Die Module sollten ferner vorzugsweise so beschaffen sein, zum einen möglichst wenige Verbindungskanten und zum anderen keine sichtbaren Verbindungen an keiner der Seite vorhanden sind. Ferner sollten sich Türen, Klappen und dergleichen in die Module so integrieren lassen, dass diese bündig abschließen.Furthermore, the modules should preferably be designed in such a way that, on the one hand, there are as few connection edges as possible and, on the other hand, no visible connections are present on either side. Furthermore, doors, flaps and the like should be able to be integrated into the modules so that they are flush.

Das modulare System sollte so beschaffen sein, dass sich nach Zahl der Elemente und deren Anordnung beliebige Kombinationen auch positionsvariabel verwirklichen lassen, wobei Montage und Demontage auch von Laien und ohne jedes Werkzeug vorgenommen werden kann.The modular system should be such that, depending on the number of elements and their arrangement, any combination can also be realized in a positionally variable manner, whereby assembly and disassembly can also be performed by laymen and without any tools.

BESCHREIBUNG DER ERFINDUNGDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft Möbel in Modulbauweise, die sich dadurch auszeichnen, dass

  1. (a) die Module aus zwei U-förmigen Profilen bestehen, die an den Schenkelflächen zusammengefügt werden, und
  2. (b) jedes der Möbelmodule aus einem magnetisierbaren Stoff besteht und die Möbelmodule über Magnetfolien miteinander verbunden sind.
The present invention relates to furniture in modular design, which are characterized in that
  1. (A) the modules consist of two U-shaped profiles which are joined together at the leg surfaces, and
  2. (B) each of the furniture modules made of a magnetizable material and the furniture modules are connected to each other via magnetic films.

Überraschenderweise wurde gefunden, dass durch die Ausführung der Module in Doppel-U-Form und gleichzeitig einem magnetisierbaren Material, vorzugsweise Stahl, und Verbindung der einzelnen Module durch eine magnetische Folie die primären Aufgaben, die der Erfindung zugrunde liegen, alle zuverlässig gelöst werden.Surprisingly, it has been found that by carrying out the modules in double U-shape and at the same time a magnetizable material, preferably steel, and connection of the individual modules by a magnetic film, the primary tasks underlying the invention are all reliably solved.

Bei den in Betracht kommenden Magnetfolien handelt es sich um im Markt befindliche Produkte, die beliebige Abmessungen aufweisen bzw. als Meterware erhältlich sind und dann individuell zugeschnitten werden können. Die Folien sind ca. 0,9 bis 1 Millimeter stark, so dass sie problemlos zwischen die einzelnen Module gelegt werden können, ohne dass ein Spalt erkennbar ist. Die Produkte sind beispielsweise von MagnoSphere erhältlich.The magnetic films in question are products on the market which have any dimensions or are available by the meter and can then be cut to size individually. The foils are about 0.9 to 1 millimeters thick, so they can be easily placed between the individual modules, without a gap is visible. For example, the products are available from MagnoSphere.

Grundsätzlich ist diese Art der Verbindung geeignet, die erfindungsgemäßen Vorgaben exakt zu erfüllen, d.h. die Montage ist sehr einfach und kann von jedem Laien bewerkstelligt werden. Die Verbindung ist dabei so fest, dass die Module nicht verrutschen, andererseits kann die Verbindung mit geringem Kraftaufwand auch getrennt werden, wenn die Module beispielsweise in anderer Konstellation neu aufgebaut werden sollen. Mit dem Vorteil einer erweiterten Flexibilität bei der Lösung und dem Erhalt einer Einrichtungsaufgabe.Basically, this type of connection is suitable to exactly meet the specifications of the invention, i. The assembly is very simple and can be done by any layman. The connection is so strong that the modules do not slip, on the other hand, the connection with little effort can also be separated if the modules are to be rebuilt, for example, in a different constellation. With the benefit of advanced flexibility in solving and maintaining a set-up task.

Mit der Ausführung vorzugsweise in Stahl geht auch weiterer Vorteil einher: auf diese Weise lassen sich Breiten von mehr als 160 cm, insbesondere auch 180 bis 200 cm verwirklichen, ohne dass aus Stabilitätsgründen eine Rückwand erforderlich wird. Ebenfalls positiv ist, dass sich diese Module auch bei hoher Belastung über die gesamte Fläche eben nicht durchbiegen.With the execution preferably in steel, there is also an additional advantage: in this way, widths of more than 160 cm, in particular 180 to 200 cm, can be realized without a rear wall being required for stability reasons. Another positive aspect is that these modules do not bend over the entire surface even under high load.

Darüber hinaus sind die Module wiederverwertbar und weisen gegenüber Holzsystemen keine Brandlast auf. Damit sind die Module auch für die Aufstellung in Fluchtwegen und Eingangsbereichen geeignet.In addition, the modules are recyclable and have no fire load compared to wood systems. Thus, the modules are also suitable for installation in escape routes and entrance areas.

AUSFÜHRUNGSFORMEN DER MODULEEMBODIMENTS OF THE MODULES

Die erfindungsgemäßen Module weisen vorzugsweise eine rechteckige bzw. eine quadratische Form auf, die optional zur Front- und/oder Rückseite offen oder geschlossen ausgestaltet sein kann.The modules according to the invention preferably have a rectangular or a square shape, which may optionally be designed open or closed to the front and / or rear.

Insbesondere bestehen die Module aus zwei U-förmigen Profilen, die an den Schenkelflächen zusammengefügt werden. Hier erweist sich die Ausführung in Stahl ebenfalls wieder als vorteilhaft, da es nicht möglich ist, ein U-Profil aus einem Stück Holz herzustellen. Die vorliegende Erfindung hingegen lässt sogar noch die Möglichkeit zu, entweder scharfe oder abgerundete Kanten zu verwirklichen. Die U-Profile werden mittig zusammengesteckt, d.h. es entstehen statt vier nur zwei Verbindungskanten und diese sind eben gerade nicht am Kopf und Boden des Moduls zu sehen. Die Module können falls gewünscht an der Unterseite auch mit Rollen oder einer Rollenplatte versehen werden, wobei letztere wiederum mit einer Magnetfolie befestigt wird. Einzelne U-Profile wiederum können als Sockel für weitere Module fungieren.In particular, the modules consist of two U-shaped profiles, which are joined together on the leg surfaces. Here, the execution in steel also proves to be advantageous again, since it is not possible to produce a U-profile of a piece of wood. The however, the present invention even allows for the possibility of achieving either sharp or rounded edges. The U-profiles are put together in the middle, ie instead of four only two connecting edges are created and these are just not visible at the top and bottom of the module. If desired, the modules can also be provided on the underside with rollers or a roller plate, the latter in turn being fastened with a magnetic film. In turn, individual U-profiles can act as sockets for further modules.

Weiterhin bevorzugt ist, die U-Profile doppelwandig auszugestalten, wobei die Innenräume insbesondere ausgeschäumt (z.B. mit Polyurethanen) oder ausgeklebt werden (z.B. mit Pappe, Holzwolle, Styropor oder Styrodur).It is also preferable to make the U-profiles double-walled, with the interiors in particular being foamed (for example with polyurethanes) or adhesively bonded (for example with cardboard, wood wool, Styrofoam or Styrodur).

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung werden die Module vorder- und rückseitig gleich mit einer umlaufenden 45 Grad-Gehrungsfuge versehen. Dies führt zum einen dazu, dass die Module optisch verschlankt werden, also davon abgelenkt wird, dass es sich um ein doppelwandiges Profil von 10 bis 35 mm Stärke handelt. Insbesondere lassen sich auf diese Weise aber an der Front- und/oder Rückseite der Module Türen, Klappen, Auszugsfronten oder Platten einfügen, die flächenbündig in der Gehrungsfuge liegen und anders als bei anderen Möbelsysteme nicht vorstehen.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the modules are provided at the front and at the back equal to a circumferential 45 degree Miter. This leads to the fact that the modules are visually slim, so it is distracted that it is a double-walled profile of 10 to 35 mm thickness. In particular, in this way but at the front and / or back of the modules doors, flaps, drawer fronts or plates insert that lie flush in the miter and unlike other furniture systems do not protrude.

Wie schon vorstehend erläutert können die Module eine Breite von etwa 20 cm bis etwa 200 cm und vorzugsweise etwa 40 bis etwa 160 cm aufweisen, wobei die Höhe zwischen etwa 20 und etwa 200 cm und vorzugsweise etwa 20 bis etwa 120 cm variieren kann. Die Module können in verschiedenen Farben lackiert oder mit unterschiedlichen Materialien beschichtet werden. Besondere Effekte lassen sich erzielen, wenn als Material magnetischer Chromstahl verwendet wird.As discussed above, the modules may have a width of about 20 cm to about 200 cm, and preferably about 40 to about 160 cm, which height may vary between about 20 and about 200 cm, and preferably about 20 to about 120 cm. The modules can be painted in different colors or coated with different materials. Special effects can be achieved if the material used is magnetic chromium steel.

GEWERBLICHE ANWENDBARKEITINDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

Die neuen Möbelsysteme erlauben eine flexible Konfigurationsmöglichkeit mit optisch gleichem Bild, sowohl bei 2D- wie 3D-Drehung z.B. als Pflanzgefäß. Der Magnetverbund erlaubt leichtes Montieren, Demontieren und Neuarrangieren ohne Werkzeug. Das System eignet sich insbesondere für die Möblierung von Büros, ist aber auch outdoor-fähig.The new furniture systems allow a flexible configuration option with optically identical image, both in 2D and 3D rotation, for example. as a planter. The magnetic composite allows easy assembly, disassembly and rearrangement without tools. The system is particularly suitable for the furnishing of offices, but is also outdoor-capable.

Gegenüber anderen Produkten des Handels, die aus Holz gefertigt sind, wirkt es optisch eleganter, weil die Randzonen perfekt ausbildet sind und dort keine Stoßkanten sowie Umleimer auftreten. Insbesondere lassen sich mit dem System auch lange offene Regale und Loops sowie durch Aneinanderreihen der U-Förmigen Profile mit einem gegenförmig gefertigten U-Profil meanderförmige Endlos-Regale gestalten. Die Elemente können selbstverständlich auch als Raumteiler dienen, da diese vorne und hinten eine exakt gleiche Optik aufweisen.Compared to other products of the trade, which are made of wood, it looks optically elegant, because the edge zones are perfectly formed and there no impact edges and lipping occur. In particular, long open shelves and loops as well as rows of U-shaped profiles with a counter-shaped U-profile meander-shaped endless shelves can be designed with the system. Of course, the elements can also serve as room dividers, as they have exactly the same appearance at the front and rear.

Einzelne Elemente können bequem mit Winkeln an Wänden befestigt werden.Individual elements can be easily fixed with angles to walls.

Einzelne Möbelmodule können über in gleicher Systembauweise hergestellte doppelwandige Stahlplatten verbunden werden, wobei die Befestigung wiederum durch Magnetfolien erfolgt. Hierbei wird dann eine Dach- und Bodenkonstruktion gebildet, was die Bereitstellung von Arbeitsinseln möglich macht.Individual furniture modules can be connected by means of double-walled steel plates produced in the same system construction, wherein the fastening is again effected by magnetic foils. In this case, a roof and floor construction is formed, which makes the provision of working islands possible.

Weiterhin können die Module auch durch Polsterelemente ergänzt werden, die an der Unterseite oder rückwandig ebenfalls über eine Magnetfolie mit den Modulen verbunden werden. Dabei kann es sich sowohl um einfache Sitzkissen, als auch um Sitzkissen mit Rückwand handeln. Aus Modulen und Polstern lassen sich Raumsysteme ("Office-Pods") bauen, ohne dass es dazu einer mechanischen Verbindung bedarf. Diese Systeme sind so variabel und was Auf- und Umbau angeht, so flexibel, wie möglich. Mit dem System lassen sich z.B. auch Stauräume, Wandregale, Raumtrenner, Sitzsysteme, Akustikmodule und dergleichen gestalten.Furthermore, the modules can also be supplemented by upholstery elements, which are also connected to the bottom or back wall via a magnetic film with the modules. These can be both simple seat cushions and seat cushions with rear wall. Modules and upholstery can be used to build room systems ("office pods") without the need for a mechanical connection. These systems are so variable and in terms of construction and conversion, as flexible as possible. The system can be used e.g. also make storage spaces, wall shelves, room divider, seating systems, acoustic modules and the like.
