Description

DESCRIPTION

Furniture for interior of vehicles.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION 5

The present invention relates to a furniture for interior of vehicles, intended for application in the interior of vehicles such as vans, vans and the like, in order to get an equipment in functions of furniture, with different uses, without changing one or other modules of the furniture set. 10

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Furniture equipment systems are known inside vehicles such as vans, although the furniture that is implanted in this type of vehicles, is usually mounted 15 statically, without the possibility of disassembly, or at least with great difficulties to carry carry out the assembly and disassembly.

However, in the Spanish utility model U 200901193, a modular van equipment is described, consisting of a series of modular structures and elements 20 adapted to the dimensions of the interior of the vehicle, counting the side modules with horizontal and vertical panels to establish different compartments as well as means for fixing and anchoring them to the anchors provided for this purpose in the vehicle and used for securing the cargo.

 25

In this modular equipment, the modules are equal and the compartments that are established in said side modules are very limited in terms of their capacity, while the horizontal panels that constitute the platform and that fulfill the functions of box spring for When they are extended or the sofa seat function with the corresponding cushions or mattresses enabled for this purpose, they have a large dimension and without said lateral modules providing a storage solution for them when they are not used, being loose by the vehicle and taking up space.

This equipment described in said utility model suffers from a series of problems and disadvantages apart from those already mentioned, such as the need for elements and means 35 to secure the upper horizontal tables between the panels or side modules with guides external to the module, as well as make the fixing of these lateral modules to the internal sides of the vehicle's own body by means of anchors enabled for this purpose (patented anchors), in addition to being limited in terms of the impossibility of being able to introduce or carry elements long, such as surfboards, skis, 40 etc ... and the inability to access the interior of the modules through the front and back

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

 Four. Five

The furniture that is recommended, based on the fact that it includes two side modules and an upper platform, as in the utility model referred to in the previous section, presents a series of innovations and novel features from which substantial improvements and advantages over the equipment of the aforementioned model.

 fifty

More specifically, the furniture of the invention is characterized in that the side modules

they are not equal to each other, but are asymmetrical, one of greater width than another, allowing one of them to house all the components of the furniture such as boards, mats, etc., and even have appropriate openings to carry elements of long length such as tables of surfing, skis and the like.

 5

Another feature is that the boards used as a top platform in the furniture of the invention are held through their edges on respective guides by way of grooves established for this purpose and integrated into the inner side of the side modules, without the need for brackets or additional elements for clamping the boards, allowing them to be assembled and disassembled quickly, easily and with greater efficiency. 10

It is also planned that the side modules present a series of openings with different configurations to accommodate and introduce different elements of different shapes and sizes.

 fifteen

Another important feature of the furniture of the invention is that it includes a central module, in addition to the tables that constitute the upper platform, central module that acts as an object storage drawer, significantly expanding the load capacity and functionality since the option will be given to turn it into a chest with integrated fridge. At the same time, this central module works as a seat / bench when the furniture is transformed into its table function by removing two or more of the boards that includes the upper platform, characteristic is important, since in the model cited as a background there was no the possibility of using basic furniture as a table with stool.

In addition, this module is fastened with screws to the side modules and these attached to the side 25 of the vehicle, thus securing the entire set of furniture without the need for additional elements, that is to say with simplicity and efficiency, obtaining a high final support.

Based on the aforementioned characteristics, it is possible to store all the components inside the side modules without any of them being loose inside the interior of the vehicle.

With regard to the openings for introducing objects and elements inside the side modules, it is provided that the upper openings in the larger module are circular to allow insertion and removal of objects easily and without friction, while 35 the openings in the upper part of the other module, of smaller width, can be circular, rectangular, and in any case with rounded profiles to avoid chafing in hands and arms when trying to introduce or remove any object.

Another feature is that the drawer that constitutes the central module and that can fulfill the function of seating has a practicable top cover through a hole in which one or two fingers of the user's hand will be introduced to carry out the lifting or closing the lid itself, all without hardware of any kind, reducing costs and avoiding possible discomfort when sitting in the event that hardware was used to carry out the lifting and closing of the lid itself.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

 35

As can be seen in the aforementioned figures, the furniture of the invention, provided for its arrangement inside the interior of a van or the like, includes two side modules (1) and (2), the module (2) being the largest width, although both have the same height, and which are complemented by an intermediate and central module (3) that is placed in correspondence with the previous part, that is to say in proximity to the seats of the corresponding vehicle in which it is applied.

Both modules (1) and (2) incorporate, integrated in them, two lateral and internal guides (4) for the sliding assembly of one or more tables (5) that can form a bed, by means of the corresponding mats (6) resting on the upper surface of said boards (5) and on the upper surface of the modules (1) and (2), as shown in Figure 3, or forming a table with a single board (5), as It is represented in Figure 4, where the central module (3), without several of the cushions (6 ') shown in Figure 1, can be used as a drawer and as a stool for a person's seat, as shown in the figure 4. 50

The module (2) of greater width, has a rear window (7) through which different elements such as tables (5), mats (6-6 '), etc., can be introduced to be stored inside said module, while superiorly it has openings (8), preferably circular for the introduction and extraction of objects.

 5

For its part, the module (1) has holes (9) that can be circular, rectangular, etc., also for introducing and removing objects that can be stored inside said module (1), since, like the module (2) They are hollow and allow the storage inside of different elements, objects and pieces.

 10

Both the module (1) and the module (2) have openings with viselated corners on their internal and vertical faces that give it a unique and characteristic design of the brand. (10) to introduce and extract objects.

As for the central module (3), which constitutes a stool for sitting and used either before a table (5) that constitutes the table top or as a simple seat, said module (3) also forms a drawer whose corresponding lid (3 ') is practicable through the introduction of the fingers of the hand through a hole (3' ') of circular and central configuration in said lid (3'), as shown in Figure 6 allowing storage inside it as well as the possibility of transforming it into an integrated fridge (3´´´). This module 20 in turn functions as an anchor and / or fixation of the modules (1) and (2) securing the entire furniture assembly to the vehicle.

Finally, say that both modules (1) and (2) have a rear opening (11), which together with the previous opening of the module (2) allows the loading of long elements such as skis, surfboards, etc. .
