Description

DESCRIPTION

Portable cabinet

Technique sector.

The present invention refers to a portable piece of furniture, which has technical characteristics aimed at allowing it to be moved as a suitcase to any location where it is necessary to have a portable workstation, for example: fairs, events, training classrooms , field hospitals, civil protection centers, fashion and beauty sector, construction sector, audiovisual sector, media sector, technology sector, commercial sector, tourism sector, political sector and society, cultural and leisure sector, or any others.

Prior state of the art

Currently, a multitude of pieces of furniture are known in the market for delimiting work areas, such as panels, partitions or the like, and furniture provided with panels and shelves suitable for placing various elements, related to the activity to be developed, for example, material and office equipment.

These pieces of furniture are designed to be kept in a fixed location, although some of them, such as the occasional tables, may have wheels to move them around the interior of the room and provide them with greater versatility.

Currently, the need to have a room or space for the development of a specific activity for a limited time, in a different location than the usual work center, for example, during assistance is frequently raised in very diverse sectors. to an event or to provide a service limited in time.

To meet these needs, the solution usually used consists of transporting the essential equipment to carry out activity and renting an available space, or hiring the services of a specialized company to assemble a stand in the necessary location. Both solutions are expensive and do not provide the user with the comfort of their usual workplace.

The applicant of the present invention is unaware of the existence of antecedents that allow to satisfactorily solve this problem.

Explanation of the invention

To solve the problem raised, the portable furniture object of this invention has been devised, which has adequate characteristics to install inside the necessary equipment to carry out a certain activity, forming a work station, and to allow its closure with the equipment in its place. interior and its transport, like a suitcase, to any location where it is necessary to carry out the activity for a certain time, all without the need to build or carry out a new installation and so that the user can have the usual equipment, incorporated in the portable furniture, and use it with the same comfort as in your usual workplace.

The equipment included in the portable furniture can be very diverse depending on the activity of the user, having provided in any case that said portable furniture has inside a series of compartments suitable for the placement of said equipment.

To achieve the proposed objectives, a portable cabinet has been developed that comprises two modules of prismatic general configuration, each one of them being provided with: two opposite side panels, a rear panel, an upper panel, a lower panel, an open front panel, some compartments defined by shelves and / or drawers and suitable for the placement of material, equipment and electrical devices, some scroll wheels and some external handles.

Said modules are fixed by two opposite sides to some hinges that form means of relative rotation of said modules between: in which the interior of the modules is accessible through their respective open fronts, and a closed position in which the open fronts of the modules face each other and the inside of the furniture is inaccessible from the outside.

By means of the wheels, the handles and the closing system, the cabinet allows easy, comfortable and complete transport for the user.

Another relevant characteristic of the furniture is that it has an integrated, technological type installation, provided with internal plugs for the connection of electrical equipment and appliances and external sockets for connection with power supply lines, telephone lines or telephone lines. data.

This feature allows the cabinet to be connected to the service lines (electrical, telephone, data) through the respective external sockets and to connect the equipment (computer, router, lighting elements, electric chargers, or any other) to these service lines through internal plugs and built-in installation, making the use of additional cables unnecessary.

The design of the furniture, like a suitcase, allows to include in its set everything essential to develop the function of each of the modalities and allow a comfortable transport for the user, in addition to not requiring professional handling for its placement.

It should be mentioned that the distribution of the interior space of the modules can be variable, adapting in each case to the needs of the users, depending on the activity to be carried out.

For example, you can incorporate the technology and materials necessary to offer a comprehensive, all-in-one space service, so that it does not imply a hassle for the end consumer to contact intermediaries to include additional devices.

According to the invention, the modules comprise supports supporting vertically deployable curtains; and that are hinged on two opposite sides of the respective modules with the possibility of turning between: an inoperative position in which said supports are arranged parallel to the open front of the corresponding module occupying a minimum space, and an operating position in which the supports protrude front of the corresponding module.

In this operative position, the curtains, deployed vertically, together with the furniture modules delimit a discrete work area, and prevent the view from the outside of both the work area and the interior of the furniture.

Furniture is applicable to countless situations, and is a solution to many problems, both in terms of space, time and even resources, because, in a very simple way, adaptable to all spaces and at a reduced cost, a workplace can be established that offers privacy, the necessary tools and a place to be.

Brief description of the content of the drawings.

To complement the description that is being made and in order to facilitate the understanding of the characteristics of the invention, the present specification is accompanied by a set of drawings in which, by way of illustration and not limitation, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the portable furniture, according to the invention, in the closed position.

- Figures 2 and 3 show two elevational views of the portable furniture according to the invention in the open position, rotated 90 degrees, with each of said figures observing a different module seen from the front, and the other module seen in profile.

- Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the furniture of the invention in the open position and with the curtains unfolded; delimiting said curtains, together with the furniture modules, a work area protected from the outside view.

Detailed exposition of embodiments of the invention.

The furniture (1) represented in the closed position in figure 1, comprises two modules (15, 1b) of prismatic general configuration, each provided with two side panels (11), a rear panel (12), a panel bottom (13), a top panel (14) and an open front.

Said modules (1a, 1b) are fixed to each other by means of hinges (15).

The furniture has a lock (16) to lock it in the closed position shown in figure 1, or to open it as shown in figures 2 and 3.

Each of the modules (1a, 1b) has an external handle (2) and four wheels (3) to facilitate the stable movement and transport of the furniture, in the closed position, to any location where it is necessary to install the job.

The modules (1a, 1b) have internal compartments (4) with any distribution, defined in this case by shelves and drawers, suitable for placing the materials, equipment and electrical devices necessary for the development of the activity.

By way of example, in the embodiment shown in Figures 2 and 3, the furniture (1) incorporates inside the modules (1a, 1b) a series of elements, not referenced and listed for illustrative purposes only, since they may vary in each case; specifically: a lighting device, a technological system that includes USB chargers, induction chargers, sound system, all-in-one computer, keyboard, mouse and printer; and a kit of basic stationery items, such as a document shredder, a trash can, a pack of folios, pens, adhesive tape, stapler, magnetic board, a cork notepad; etc.
