DESCRIZIONE di invenzione industriale avente per titolo: DESCRIPTION of industrial invention having as title:
PANCHINA A SCOMPARSA RETRACTABLE BENCH
TESTO DELLA DESCRIZIONE TEXT OF THE DESCRIPTION
L’invenzione si colloca nell’ambito dell’arredo urbano ed in particolare tra i sistemi di seduta, quali panchine o simili. The invention is placed in the field of street furniture and in particular among seating systems, such as benches or the like.
In particolare, oggetto dell’invenzione è una panchina a scomparsa, che si caratterizza come un sistema di seduta retrattile che consiste in un elemento mobile che scompare nel terreno lasciando l’area totalmente libera per utilizzi diversi. In particular, the subject of the invention is a retractable bench, which is characterized as a retractable seating system which consists of a mobile element that disappears into the ground, leaving the area totally free for different uses.
Il dispositivo è stato ideato per risolvere un problema molto comune legato alla necessità di un utilizzo flessibile degli spazi pedonali, come ad esempio le piazze. Spesso gli spazi aperti non vengono attrezzati con sistemi dì seduta fissi (panchine) perché ciò non consente l'utilizzo dello spazio per attività diverse, come ad esempio mercato, spettacoli, sagre, ecc. Tale problematica costringe a creare spazi liberi non attrezzati che non consentono di caratterizzare gli spazi aperti pubblici come luoghi di sosta e di aggregazione sociale. L’utilizzo di panchine appoggiate a terra senza fissaggio non può essere risolutivo del problema, per le evidenti difficoltà legate alla movimentazione in caso di necessità, nonché alla possibilità di furti o atti vandalici. The device was designed to solve a very common problem related to the need for a flexible use of pedestrian spaces, such as squares. Often open spaces are not equipped with fixed seating systems (benches) because this does not allow the use of the space for different activities, such as markets, shows, festivals, etc. This problem forces us to create unequipped free spaces that do not allow us to characterize public open spaces as places of rest and social gathering. The use of benches resting on the ground without fixing cannot solve the problem, due to the obvious difficulties associated with handling in case of need, as well as the possibility of theft or vandalism.
Attraverso l’utilizzo delle panchine a scomparsa, invece, si possono salvaguardare entrambe le esigenze, progettando gli spazi aperti pedonali quali piazze, zone pedonali e spazi multifunzionali come piacevoli luoghi di incontro e socializzazione dove le persone possano sedersi e sostare, garantendo al contempo la possibilità di trasformarli, ail’occorrenza, in ampi spazi liberi destinabili alle più diverse attività, come ad esempio il mercato settimanale o il cinema all’aperto... Through the use of retractable benches, on the other hand, both needs can be safeguarded, designing open pedestrian spaces such as squares, pedestrian areas and multifunctional spaces as pleasant meeting and socializing places where people can sit and stop, while ensuring the possibility of transforming them, if necessary, into large free spaces that can be used for the most diverse activities, such as the weekly market or open-air cinema ...
In base alle ricerche svolte e all'esperienza maturata nello svolgimento dell’attività professionale di architetto non risulta esistere una panchina con queste caratteristiche. Viceversa esistono in commercio dispositivi a scomparsa, come i dissuasori di accesso o le colonnine di distribuzione di energia elettrica o servizi vari, che sfruttano lo stesso principio ma sono destinati a utilizzi diversi e specifici. Based on the research carried out and the experience gained in carrying out the professional activity of an architect, there is no bench with these characteristics. Conversely, there are retractable devices on the market, such as access bollards or electricity distribution columns or various services, which exploit the same principle but are intended for different and specific uses.
Per l’attuazione del dispositivo, cioè per dotare la panchina della possibilità di muoversi verticalmente, una soluzione può essere quella di creare a terra una sede vuota in cui inserire un elemento della stessa forma che possa scorrere verticalmente. A tale risultato si può giungere anche con altri tipi di movimento, ad esempio realizzando a terra un taglio in cui far scorrere un elemento piatto che, uscendo dalla sede, si apre a libro formando una seduta. For the implementation of the device, that is, to provide the bench with the ability to move vertically, a solution may be to create an empty seat on the ground in which to insert an element of the same shape that can slide vertically. This result can also be achieved with other types of movement, for example by making a cut on the ground in which to slide a flat element which, coming out of its seat, opens like a book to form a seat.
Dal punto di vista tecnologico la movimentazione dell’elemento si può ottenere attraverso differenti dispositivi ad esempio manuali, meccanici, automatici, semi-automatici, ecc... e il movimento potrebbe essere ottenuto anche adattando le diverse soluzioni tecniche già in produzione per i citati dissuasori o le colonnine a scomparsa. From the technological point of view, the movement of the element can be obtained through different devices such as manual, mechanical, automatic, semi-automatic, etc ... and the movement could also be obtained by adapting the different technical solutions already in production for the aforementioned bollards or retractable posts.
Il primo disegno (tav 1/2) illustra chiaramente le finalità dell’invenzione, mettendo in evidenza i vantaggi offerti: nella immagine^ è raffigurata una piazza con una panchina sulla quale sono sedute alcune persone (la panchina è in posizione di seduta), nella immagine 2 la stessa piazza è caratterizzata da uno spazio completamente libero, all'interno del quale è parcheggiato un camioncino per lo svolgimento del mercato (la panchina è ‘scomparsa’nel terreno}. The first drawing (plate 1/2) clearly illustrates the purposes of the invention, highlighting the advantages offered: the image ^ shows a square with a bench on which some people are seated (the bench is in a sitting position), in image 2 the same square is characterized by a completely free space, inside which a pickup truck is parked for carrying out the market (the bench has 'disappeared' into the ground}.
Il secondo disegno (tav 2/2) illustra nelle immagini 3 e 4 una sezione schematica del dispositivo, mettendo in evidenza esclusivamente il movimento di ritrazione della seduta nel terreno finalizzato alla creazione di uno spazio libero. Le immagini dalla 5 alla 10 illustrano alcuni esempi delle svariate combinazioni di forme, dimensioni, colori e materiali dell'invenzione, rispettivamente a panchina estratta o scomparsa nel terreno. Le soluzioni formali dell’elemento, sia pianimetriche che in alzato, possono infatti assumere numerose varianti, ad esempio nelle dimensioni, nelle forme, nelle aggregazioni di elementi, eco..,, così come i materiali, i colori e la finitura superficiale dell’elemento possono assumere numerose varianti e possono integrarsi in qualsiasi tipo di pavimentazione, come ad esempio metallo, pietre, gomme colorate, ecc... The second drawing (plate 2/2) illustrates in images 3 and 4 a schematic section of the device, highlighting only the retraction movement of the seat in the ground aimed at creating a free space. The images from 5 to 10 illustrate some examples of the various combinations of shapes, sizes, colors and materials of the invention, respectively with the bench extracted or disappeared into the ground. The formal solutions of the element, both planimetric and elevated, can in fact take on numerous variations, for example in the dimensions, shapes, aggregations of elements, etc., as well as the materials, colors and surface finish of the element can take on numerous variations and can be integrated into any type of flooring, such as metal, stones, colored rubbers, etc ...
