Outdoor furniture

description

The invention relates to outdoor furniture, in particular with sun and / or wind protection function for the garden or beach, such as sunframes.

[02] Fringed baskets are usually used in the spring and summer months in the garden or on the beach in order to be able to sit or lie in them protected from the sun and / or wind. Mostly, beach chairs on a two-seater bench offer two seats arranged side by side, the backrest of which can be tilted together with the basket, which protects against the sun and / or wind. There is often an extendable calf rest under the seats for a lying function.

[03] In the autumn and winter months, commercial beach chair owners move their beach chairs from the beach to a dry winter storage area with considerable effort, since the demand for beach chairs is low in winter and otherwise the beach chairs would weather unused on the beach in winter. In private use of beach chairs in the garden, a tent-like cover is often pulled over the beach chair against weathering in autumn and winter. In the autumn and winter months there is an unattractive block of tents in the garden.

[04] It is therefore the object of the present disclosure to include an outdoor piece of furniture, such as a beach chair, in the Fall and winter months usable and protected against weathering.

[05] The basic idea of the present disclosure is to design an outdoor piece of furniture, such as an edge frame, as a sauna room, changing room, garden shed and / or as a sofa area.

[06] According to the present disclosure for the technical implementation of this idea, an outdoor piece of furniture is fitted with tires

at least one seat and / or couch unit,

a first shell element,

and a second shell element,

wherein the first shell element and / or the second shell element can optionally be implemented in a first configuration and in a second configuration with respect to the respective other shell element, wherein in the first configuration the first shell element and the second shell element are at least partially nested in one another and in the second configuration the first shell element and the second shell element together enclose a substantially closed interior space in which the at least one seat and / or couch unit is located †.

[07] The first configuration can therefore be equated with a beach chair configuration in which a user can use the seating and / or reclining unit in spring or summer, the at least partially nested shell elements being a wind and / or Form sun protection in the back of the user. The second configuration can be equated with a room configuration in which the shell elements form a closed interior, which can be used as a sauna room, changing room, garden shed and / or as storage space. The closed interior, in the seat and / or couch unit is protected against rain and weathering by the shell elements. Preferably, the interior in the second configuration is thermally effectively closed to a minimum, ie with a heat transfer coefficient (U value) of at most 10 W / (m ² -K), preferably below 5 W / (m ² -K) for both Soaps, forwards, backwards and upwards. The word transmittance coefficient may be higher towards the bottom. Deliberate ventilation openings and / or holes or slits that arise from manufacturing or material distortions do not stand in the way of the "essentially closed" interior, provided that the heat loss attributable to it is small enough to be compensated for, for example, by a sauna heater. It is meant here by “implementable” or “re-seize” a re-positioning or re-positioning, whereby the shell elements which are detachably separated from one another are separated from one another and are positioned again with a different orientation to one another. A swiveling cage or a swiveling of the shell elements against one another, in which the shell elements remain connected to one another, is not meant here by “implementable” or “around sefzen”.

[08] For the conversion of the outdoor furniture between the two configurations, one of the shell elements or both can be movable relative to the other shell element. Depending on the design, it is advisable that preferably only the lighter shell element is moved while the heavier shell element remains in place. However, both shell elements can also be moved and moved towards each other and with regard to the overall position and orientation of the outdoor furniture. Preferably, one or two of the shell elements or both can be carried or rolled, rotated and converted manually by means of flange handles by one or two people. One of the shell elements or both can be one-part or multi-part †. A one-piece design is preferred in order to increase the stability and to reduce the number of parts. A multi-part design can be advantageous if a one-part design is too difficult to implement. The shell elements are preferably rigid and as rigid as possible †.

[09] Optionally, the at least one seating and / or lying unit in the first configuration can be located in the first shell element † and can be oriented toward an open front of the first shell element. The sitting and / or lying unit can then stand on a floor of the first shell element. Such a floor can be a fixed component of the first shell element.

[10] The first shell element † can therefore be defined as an inner shell element †, which in the first configuration as a beach chair is at least partially inserted into the second shell element † or the second shell element † is placed on the back of the first shell element.

[1 1] Optionally, the first shell element † can define a first half space open to a front side of the first shell element and the second shell element † can define a second half space open to a front side of the second shell element. The first shell element † and the second shell element † can correspond in shape and size such that the first shell element † in the first configuration essentially fills the second half space †. The shape of the shell elements can essentially correspond to non-closed polyhedra or prisms, whereby the shell elements can be joined together † in the second configuration to form a closed polyhedron or prism. In the first configuration, the surfaces of the rear, side walls and roof of the second shell element preferably each run in the sentlichen parallel to the corresponding back, the side walls and the roof of the first shell element.

[12] Optionally, the first half-space and the second half-space in the second configuration can together form the essentially closed interior, the front of the first shell element and the front of the second shell element facing each other. Preferably, the shell elements put together † in the second configuration essentially the shape of a geometric prism with a preferably essentially mirror-symmetrical pentagon as the base surface, which is formed by the side walls of the shell elements.

The second half-space is preferably wider and / or higher than the first half-space. In the second configuration, such a difference in size can be compensated for by a diaphragm running transversely to the front, in the second configuration to close the interior at the transition between the shell elements. The diaphragm can preferably form the front of the first shell element and in the second configuration serve as a stop for the front of the first shell element.

[14] Optionally, the at least one seating and / or lying unit can be movable with respect to the first shell element and / or the second shell element, preferably as a separate unit in the first shell element and / or the second shell element and can be implemented. This is particularly useful in an embodiment in which the second shell element located in the first configuration is as light and stable as possible †. In the case of a movable or insertable and convertible seating and / or lying unit, a door can be provided in the heavier first shell element, since in the second configuration the sitting and / or lying unit can be pushed into the second shell element †. The sitting and / or lying unit can if necessary, be rotated by 180 ° beforehand, so that in the second configuration the viewing direction of a person positioned on the sitting and / or lying unit is directed from the inside towards a window in the rear of the first shell element. A window or a door in the second shell element, which is as light and stable as possible, is therefore not required, which would make the second shell element unnecessarily heavier and more unstable.

[15] Optionally, the second shell element can have a convertible or foldable floor, which in the first configuration lies flat against a back and / or side wall of the second shell element † and in the second configuration forms a base part of the essentially closed interior. This makes it particularly easy to place the second shell element for the first configuration from behind on the first shell element.

[16] Optionally, the first shell element and / or the second shell element can have a door in a side wall. The door can be a swing door or a sliding door. The door can open inwards and / or outwards, it being preferred for the door to open outwards. The door is preferably provided in the heavier of the two shell elements, which is not moved between the two configurations for the remodeling of the outdoor furniture. When the seating and / or lying unit is permanently installed in the first shell element and cannot be moved or moved, the door is preferably arranged in the second shell element, even if the movement of the second shell element is provided for converting the outdoor furniture between the two configurations should be.

[17] Optionally, the outdoor furniture can have a sauna heater in the first or second shell element. The second configuration can thus be referred to as a sauna configuration, in which the interior formed by the shell elements in the second configuration room can be heated using the sauna heater and can serve as a sauna room.

[18] Optionally, the at least one sitting and / or lying unit can hide the sauna heater in the first configuration and in the second configuration in the second shell element † from the sauna heater and be oriented towards the sauna heater. In this embodiment, the sitting and / or lying unit is preferably movable or relocatable and the sauna heater is permanently installed in the first shell element †. If necessary, the seating and / or lying unit can be rotated by 180 ° during the conversion from the first configuration to the second configuration and, in the second configuration, pushed away from the sauna heater from the first shell element † to the second shell element †. In the first configuration, the sauna heater that is not required is hidden and safely stowed under or behind the seating and / or lying unit †.

[19] Optionally, the sauna heater can be arranged in a corner region formed by a side wall of the first shell element with a rear side of the first shell element, the side wall of the first shell element opposite this side wall having a door that preferably opens outwards †. Because with † the sauna heater does not block the entrance area of the door and is as far away from the door and the sitting and / or lying unit pushed to the rear of the second shell element.

[20] Optionally, the sauna heater can be operated electrically, preferably with 230 ± 23 V mains voltage, or with gas, preferably via a propane gas bottle or a gas tank. The sauna heater is preferably designed for a heat output of less than 3680 W for electrical operation via a cable with a mains voltage of 230 ± 23 V and secured up to 1 6A. Test tests have shown that with an interior volume of approximately 4 m ³ and a certain wall construction of the shell elements sufficient heating power † to achieve and maintain a temperature difference of 100 ° C and more between the interior and the outside temperature. This means that the interior can be used as a sauna in the second configuration. When operating with gas or via a power connection specially designed for higher outputs, higher heating outputs can also be achieved. Operation with gas is advantageous, for example, when there is no power connection nearby and / or high heating power is required that cannot be operated using a normal power connection †.

[21] Optionally, the first shell element † and / or the first shell element † can have a window made of glass and / or transparent plastic on a respective rear side. This enables † natural light in the second configuration with the door closed and secondly a view when taking a sauna. The window is preferably arranged in the shell element † in which the seating and / or lying unit is not positioned † in the second configuration. When the seating and / or lying unit is firmly attached in the first shell element †, the window is therefore preferably arranged in the rear of the second shell element. In the case of a convertible seating and / or lying unit that is pushed into the second shell element † ge in the second configuration, the window is preferably in the rear of the first shell element. In order to increase the incidence of light and the possibilities for the positioning of the seating and / or lying unit, both rear sides and / or the roof and / or the side walls can have windows made of glass and / or transparent plastic.

[22] Optionally, the first shell element † and / or the second shell element † can have walls with at least two, preferably three solid layers and at least one radiation foil reflecting between the solid layers and preferably also serving as a vapor barrier. With that the Loss of radiant heat is reduced and the heating process is greatly shortened, so that energy consumption is reduced. In addition, there is no need for fiber insulation materials, which are heavier on the one hand and can become damp on the other and thus lose insulation properties and tend to form mold. Condensed water can run down on the metal foil, which preferably also serves as a vapor barrier, and can be guided to the outside for evaporation or dripping. Optionally, the outdoor furniture can have one (or more) air gap † between the solid layers. The at least one metal foil can preferably be arranged on a side of one or more of the solid layers pointing toward the respective air gap. Such a flute chamber structure as a wall structure of the shell elements has at least one heat-insulating standing air layer, which reduces heat loss † and lowers the required heat output of the sauna heater to such an extent that it is electrically operated via a cable up to 1 6A with a mains voltage of 230 ± 23 V. can be. One or more re of the solid layers are preferably made of wood, in particular the layer adjacent to the interior. One or more of the solid layers, in particular the outer layer, can, however, have other material such as plastic and / or fiber composite materials. One or more of the solid layers can, for example, have particularly good thermal insulation material, such as artificial cork and / or natural cork. If there is sufficient thermal insulation through the solid layers, a hollow chamber structure with an air gap † can be dispensed with †.

[23] Optionally, the first shell element and / or the second shell element can have essentially vertical side walls, a back that is inclined backwards by an angle β in the range from 3 ° to 15 ° and a roof pitch g in the range of 5 ° have a sloping roof slope up to 20 °. Among other things, this creates a visual impression of a beach chair Pent roof in the first configuration and a garden shed with a gable roof in the second configuration. The backs, possibly with windows, are also protected against rain directly from above. In addition, it is possible to place a backrest of the seating and / or reclining unit in a lower reclining position without increasing the distance between the seat and the back. The sloping roof ensures that rainwater runs off to the rear.

[24] Optionally, the roof pitch g is greater than the angle β with which the rear sides are tilted backwards. On the one hand, this offers a harmonious, aesthetically pleasing shape and high stability of the outdoor furniture in both the first and the second configuration.

[25] Optionally, a front side of the first shell element can be stepped such that a lower section of the front side of the first shell element protrudes from an upper section of the front side of the first shell element †. This enhances the visual impression of a beach chair in the first configuration and provides a storage space in the first configuration. Optionally, a front side of the second shell element can be offset in a stepped manner corresponding to the front side of the first shell element in such a way that a lower section of the front side of the second shell element stands back from an upper section of the front side of the second shell element †. The two shell elements complement each other perfectly to form a closed space in the second configuration. Due to the correspondingly stepped front sides of the shell elements, a horizontal section can be formed in the first front side, on which the second shell element lies in the second configuration †. This improves the stability and statics of the outdoor furniture in the second configuration. In the first configuration, the horizontal Cut to the appearance of a beach chair and can be used as a storage, for example for drinks or dishes.

[27] FIG. 1 shows an outdoor piece of furniture 1 in a first configuration, in which the outdoor piece of furniture 1 is visually and functionally similar to a beach chair. For better orientation, a right-handed Cartesian coordinate system is shown in each of the figures, in which the x-axis runs in the depth direction, the y-axis in the width direction and the z-axis in the flea direction. The x-axis is chosen arbitrarily so that it corresponds to a direction of view of a front of the outdoor furniture 1 in the first configuration †. The y-axis is here chosen arbitrarily so that it runs from right to left in the first configuration when looking at a front of the outdoor furniture 1. This means that the z-axis runs vertically from bottom to top. The term “front” or “front” is chosen here for all parts of the outdoor furniture 1 such that the side or direction pointing in the negative x direction in the first configuration is common. In a second configuration of the outdoor furniture 1, however, a “front side” of a moving part can point in the positive x direction. Analogously, the term “rear” or “rear” is chosen for all parts of the outdoor furniture 1 in such a way that the side or direction pointing in the positive x direction in the first configuration is common. In a second configuration of the outdoor furniture 1, however, a “rear side” of a moving part can point in the negative x direction. The outdoor furniture 1 has a seating and / or lying unit in the form of a two-seater bench 3, a first shell element 5 and a second shell element 7. The first shell element 5 forms † a first half space 9 which is open to the front and in which the two-seater bench 3 is arranged † and which is oriented towards the opening in the negative x direction †. Similar to a beach chair, the first shell element 5 forms a rain, wind and / or sun protection from behind, from the sides and from above for a person positioned on the two-seater bench 3. The second shell element 7 is movable relative to the first shell element 5 and is placed on the first shell element 5 from behind like a hood. The first shell element 5 and the second shell element 7 are thus nested one inside the other, the first shell element 5 forming a second half space 1 1 (see FIG. 4) which is formed by the second shell element 7 completely †. The second shell element 7 is as light and rigid as possible † to be able to be removed by hand using handles 13 with one or two people and implemented with respect to the first shell element 5.

The longitudinal section shown in FIG. 2 in the xz plane shows † the nesting of the shell elements 5, 7 more clearly in the first configuration. The inner first shell element 5 essentially forms a five-surface polyhedron which is open towards a first front side 14 and has a first roof slope 15, a first rear side 1 7, a first base 19 and two first side walls 21, 23 (not visible in Fig. 2, but in Fig. 1 and 5). In the first configuration, the outer, second shell element 7 essentially forms a polyhedron with four faces and open towards a second front side 24 and at the bottom with a second roof slope 25, a second rear side 27 and two second side walls 29, 31 (not visible in FIG 2, but in Fig. 1 and 5). A second bottom 33 of the second shell element 7 is inside the second configuration on the inside Back 27 folded up or up so that it lies in the first configuration between the first back 17 and the second back 27 essentially parallel to them †.

[30] The sloping ceilings 15, 25, the rear sides 17, 27 and the side walls 21, 23, 29, 31 are each parallel to one another in the first configuration. The side walls 21, 23, 29, 31 are essentially vertical. The backs 17, 27 are inclined at an angle β in the range from 3 ° to 15 °, preferably 6 °, so that the visual impression of a beach chair is obtained † and the backs 17, 27 are less exposed to the rain. The roof slopes 15, 25 are inclined to the rear by a roof pitch g in the range from 5 ° to 20 °, preferably by 13 °, and in the first configuration form a pent roof on which rainwater drains to the rear †. The first front 14 is stepped such that a lower section 41 of the first front 14 protrudes from an upper section 43 of the first front 14 †. As can be clearly seen in FIG. 1, the second front side 24 is correspondingly stepped in such a way that a lower section 45 of the second front side 24 is correspondingly set back from an upper section 47 of the second front side †. The first front side 14 is formed here by a frame-forming aperture 34 extending perpendicular to the xz plane, which partially covers the view of the second front side 24 toward the rear. In the second configuration, the screen 34 serves as a stop for the front side 24 of the first shell element 7 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). Due to the correspondingly stepped front sides 14, 24 of the shell elements 5, 7, the panel 34 here forms a horizontal section on which the second shell element 7 rests in the second configuration. This improves the stability and statics of the Ou † - door furniture 1 in the second configuration. In the first configuration, the horizontal section of the panel 34 contributes to the basket-like appearance and can serve as a shelf, for example for drinks or dishes.

The first back 17 has a window 35, which preferably has heat-insulating double or triple glazing †. The window 35 can have one or more panes which have glass and / or transparent plastic. The window 35 can have a discretion layer to darken the view, in particular from the outside inwards. [32] The two-seater bench 3 stands in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 10 on the first floor 19 and is movable in the first shell element 5 and can even be removed (see FIG. 5). A backrest 37 of the two-seater bench 3 is, as shown in FIG. 2, gradually or continuously adjustable in its inclination to the rear. In this case, a seat 39 of the two-seater bench 3 can be displaced horizontally forward (in the negative x direction) or the entire two-seater bench 3 can be positioned further forward in the first shell element 5 in order to provide more space at the rear for resetting the backrest 37 to have. For a reclining function, a calf support can be pushed out or folded up on the seat 39 of the two-seater bench 3, which may protrude from the first front 14 †.

[33] Hidden under or behind the seat 39 of the two-seater bench 3 is a sauna heater 49 which can be operated electrically via a conventional 230 V power supply connection. The sauna heater 49 is not seen for operation in the first configuration according to FIGS. 1 and 2, but only stowed for use in the second configuration according to FIGS. 3 and 4. Here, the sauna heater is in one of the right first side walls 21st arranged with the first back 1 7 formed th corner area. That of the right first side wall 21 Opposing left first side wall 23 has a door 51 that preferably opens outwards (see FIG. 3).

2, the flute chamber structure of the second shell element 7 is shown in a defail section. The first shell element 5 can have the same flute chamber structure and / or a flute chamber structure as shown in FIG. 4. The roof slopes 15, 25, the rear sides 17, 27 and the soap walls 21, 23, 29, 31 all preferably have a flute chamber structure according to FIG. 2 and / or FIG. 4. The flute chamber structure according to FIG. 2 has † two flolz layers 53, 55 with a standing air gap † 57 in between. Towards the air gap † 57, a radiation-heat-reflecting metal foil 59, 61, preferably having aluminum, is arranged on the flolz layers 53, 55 †. In addition to the thermal insulation due to the standing air gap † 57, the loss of radiant heat is reduced and the heating process is greatly shortened, so that energy consumption is reduced. It is also possible to dispense with fiber insulation materials, which are heavier on the one hand and can become damp on the other and can lose insulation and tend to form molds. The metal foils 59, 61 also serve as a vapor barrier, so that condensation water runs down the metal foils and can be guided outwards on the underside to evaporate or drip off. Compared to the hollow chamber structure according to FIG. 4, the hollow chamber structure according to FIG. 2 has the advantage that the corresponding shell element 5, 7 can be designed more easily and is particularly suitable for the shell element 5, 7 to be implemented (here the second shell element 7). own †.

[35] To simplify the repositioning of the shell elements 5, 7, they are designed here on rollers 63, 65 †. The first Scha lenelemente 5 is with the first floor 29 on four first rollers 63rd and the second shell element 7 stands with the second rear side 27 or the second side walls 29, 31 on two second rollers 65.

3 and 4 show the outdoor furniture 1 in a second configuration, in which the outdoor furniture 1 is visually and functionally similar to a sauna room or garden shed. The first half-space 9 and the second half-space 1 1 together form a closed interior in the second configuration, which can be entered via the door 51. The first front side 14 and the second front side 24 lie against each other in the direction of each other. In this case, the second shell element 7 is suspended by means of brackets 66 on the front soaping panel 34 of the first shell element 5. The brackets 66 have a male part on the front soaping panel 34 of the first shell element 5 in the form of hooks sloping upwards. Corresponding to the male part on the front soaping panel 34 of the first shell element 5, the second shell element 7 on the second front side 24 has female parts of the holders 66 in the form of receptacles tapering downwards. The brackets 66 can be shaped such that wedging takes place owing to corresponding obliquely tapering surfaces and / or the second shell element 7 is pressed against the first shell element 5 by its own weight in the x direction. A sealing lip (not shown) can run along the second front side 24, which in the first configuration is at least partially covered by the aperture 34 and is protected from direct sunlight and in the second configuration lies against the aperture 34 in a sealing manner †, by which to close the shell elements 5, 7 formed interior thermally better. Such a sealing lip can also serve as an elastic protective pad to avoid scratching the panel 34 by the second front 24.

[37] The slightly different size of the shell elements 5, 7 is compensated for by the frame-forming aperture 34. So the second Shell elements † 7 can be placed on the first shell element 5 in the first configuration, the second soap walls 29, 31 have a greater distance from one another than the first soap walls 21, 23. The second half space 1 1 is therefore in the y Direction wider than the first half space, so that the closed interior formed has an offset †. By the frame-forming aperture 34 extending perpendicular to the xz plane, this offset is closed in the second configuration. In the second configuration, the second floor 33 is folded down † or lowered † and, in a horizontal position, supplements the first floor 29 to form a substantially closed overall floor of the interior.

[38] In the second configuration, the movable two-seater bench 3 is now pushed into the second shell element † 7 and facing the window 35 in the first shell element † 5 towards the rear (in the x direction) †. The orientation of the two-seater bench 3 can be changed, for example, by a 180 ° rotation about a vertical axis (z-axis) after the two-seater bench 3 has been removed from the shell elements 5, 7 (see FIG. 6). Alternatively or in addition, the seat and / or reclining unit † can have a convertible or foldable backrest so that you can sit on the seat the other way around. The seating and / or reclining unit † then only has to be displaceable between the shell elements and does not have to be completely removed from the shell elements.

[39] The sauna heater 49 is at a maximum distance from the two-seater bench 3 and the door in a corner area of the first shell element 5. In the second configuration, the sauna heater can be operated for saunas. An electrical connection 67 for the electrical operation of the sow near oven 49 is therefore arranged on the outside on the first rear side 7 †. Additionally or alternatively, a gas connection for connecting a propane gas bottle or another whose gas tanks are arranged when the sauna heater 49 is to be operated with gas.

3 and 4 clearly shows the polyhedral shape of the outdoor furniture 1 in a two-fold configuration, which is essentially the shape of a geometric prism with an essentially (except for the offset closed by the aperture 34 ) corresponds to a symmetrical pentagon as the base, which is formed by the right-hand soap walls 21, 29 and the left-hand soap walls 23, 31 of the shell elements 5, 7. By assembling the shell elements 5, 7, a garden house with a pitched roof is formed from the beach chair with a pent roof.

4, the flute chamber structure of the first shell element 5 is shown in a detail section. The second shell element 7 can have the same flute chamber structure and / or a flute chamber structure as shown in FIG. 2. The roof slopes 15, 25, the rear sides 17, 27 and the side walls 21, 23, 29, 31 preferably all have a flute chamber structure according to FIG. 2 and / or FIG. 4. 4 has three flolz layers 53, 55, 69 with air gaps 57, 71 between them. Columns 57, 71 towards the air each have a radiation heat-reflecting metal foil 59, 61, 73, 75, preferably having aluminum, arranged on the pile layers 53, 55, 69. In addition to thermal insulation, the loss of radiant heat is reduced by the standing air gaps 57, 71 and the heating process is greatly reduced in time, so that energy consumption is reduced. There is also no need for fiber insulation †, which on the one hand are heavier and on the other hand can become damp and thus lose insulation properties and tend to form mold. The metal foils 59, 61, 73, 75 also serve as a vapor barrier, so that condensation water runs down the metal foils and is checked on the underside to the outside for evaporation or draining can be performed. Compared to the hollow structure according to FIG. 2, the hollow structure according to FIG. 4 has the advantage that a higher insulation effect is achieved by means of two luff slats 57, 71 and a higher radiation heat reflection by means of four metal foils 59, 61, 73, 75 †, so that the sauna heater 49 also less power needs to be operated. This flute chamber structure is particularly suitable for the rather stationary shell element 5, 7 (here the first shell element 5).

5 to 10 show the conversion of the outdoor furniture 1 step by step from the first configuration to the second configuration. In FIG. 5, the two-seater bench 3 is pulled out of the first shell element 5, in FIG. 6 it is rotated outside the first shell element 5 by 180 ° about the vertical z-axis, and thus is inserted into the first shell element 5 in FIG. 7. In this case, however, the two-seater bench 3 is not pushed deep into the first rear side 17, but only so deep that the entrance area on the door 51 is not blocked from the inside by the two-seater bench 3.

8, the second shell element 7 is then removed from the first shell element 5 by means of the handles 13 and rotated according to FIG. 9 by 180 ° about the vertical z-axis and from the front with the second front 24 to the first front 14 set, which is formed by the aperture 34. 9, the second floor 33 was folded down or placed so that it horizontally delimits the second flaling space 11 downwards. As shown in Fig. 10, one enters the first flaling space 9 of the closed interior now formed by the shell elements 5, 7 through the door 51 and † push the two-seater bench 3 onto the second floor 33 on the second rear 27 † the outdoor furniture 1 in the second configuration. If the steps are carried out in the opposite direction, it can Outdoor furniture 1 can be brought back into the first configuration as a storage basket.

1 1 to 13 shows a second embodiment of the outdoor furniture 1, in which the seat and / or lying unit 3 can be arranged in the first shell element 5. Both the door 51 and the window 35 are here arranged in the second shell element 7. The sauna heater 49 is also located in the second shell element 7 in this second embodiment. So that the sauna heater 49 can be broken down in the nested first configuration in the second shell element 7, the second shell element 7 on the second rear 27 has a rear bulge 77 in which the sauna heater 49 is stowed in the first configuration. In the second configuration (see FIG. 12), the sauna heater 49 can be pulled out of the bulge 77 into the interior in order to operate it for a sauna. Otherwise, the structure of the outdoor furniture 1 in the second embodiment is very similar to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-10. The second floor 33 in the second shell element 7 can, however, be permanently installed in the second exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 1 -13 and horizontally limit the second flap space 1 1 downwards. This increases the stability of the second shell element 7, since this can in principle be impaired by the door 51 and the window 35. In addition to the fixed second floor 33, it is advantageous for stability to design the second roof slope 25, the second rear side 27 and the second side walls 29, 31 to be more stable than in the first embodiment, for example according to FIGS. 1-10. However, this makes the second shell element 7 also heavier, so that in the second embodiment according to FIGS. 1 1 -13 the weight difference between the first shell element 5 and the second shell element 7 can be smaller. For the conversion from the first configuration (see Fig.

1 1) for the second configuration (see Fig. 12), the first shell element 5 together with the permanently installed seating and / or lying unit † 3 can therefore be removed from the pulled out second shell element 7, rotated 180 ° about a vertical z-axis and with the first front side 14 to the second front side 24 of the second shell element 7 are set. The second shell element 7 remains in place. Alternatively, the second shell element 7 together with the sauna heater 49 can be pulled from the first shell element 5, rotated 180 ° around a vertical z-axis and placed with the second front side 24 on the first front side 14 of the first shell element 5. The first shell element 5 remains † in place. [45] FIGS. 13a-f show schematic sectional views of the step-by-step conversion from the first summer configuration (see FIGS. 13a, b) to the second winter configuration (see FIGS. 13e, f). The coordinate system which is arbitrarily connected to the first shell element 5 rotates here between FIGS. 13b and 13c, since the first shell element 5 is rotated by 180 ° about a vertical z-axis from FIG. 13c. After the first shell element 5 in FIG. 13d has been placed with the first front side 14 on the second front side 24 of the second shell element 7, the sauna heater 49 is formed from the bulge 77 in the flal spaces 9, 11 of the shell elements 5, 7 Drawn interior to operate it in Fig. 13e for a sauna.
