Foldable and displaceable stand: i · DESCRIPTION: 5.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a collapsible and displaceable stand comprising a rectangular container which is divided into two parts by a sub-plane perpendicular to two opposite sides of the container and which is at an angle with respect to two perpendicular to each other and further sides of the container standing on said sides, said parts being pivotable relative to each other about a shamial race, which forms the cutting line of the sub-surface with one of the further sides, where seats are present in each part of the container along the sub-surface, of which seat surfaces 15 are facing each other in the closed position of the container and are turned upwards of the two parts of the container in the open position.

State of the art, 20 similar to known from the US patent 3,752,531.

At this known stand the container is formed by a caravan-like trailer.

Here, the sub-plane is perpendicular to the transverse sides of the container and the sub-plane continues through the front and top of the container. The schamiëras is present on the intersection of the sub-surface and the front of the container. As a result, the upper part of the container can be folded downwards around the shamial race. As a result, a wide stand is obtained in the open position with a height equal to that of the container in the closed position.

Summary of the invention.

30

It is an object of the invention to provide a stand of the type described in the preamble with which a larger standing and / or sitting surface can be obtained on the same floor surface than with the known stand. For this purpose the stand according to the invention is characterized in that the said sides on which the sub-plane is perpendicular are longitudinal sides of the container, where the pivot axis is present on the intersection of the sub-plane with an upper surface of the container. The upper part of the container folds I..

5 above, open to the top, so that a higher and steeper stand is obtained in the open position. can watch.

An embodiment of. the stand according to the invention is characterized in that the stand is furthermore a separate. stair element comprises, via which the container, in the open position of the parts, can be coupled to a further container, wherein in the coupled position the stair element is present between the container and further container.

Brief description of the drawings.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments of the stand according to the invention shown in the drawings. Hereby shows:

Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of the stand according to the invention in the open position;

Figure 2 shows the stand shown in Figure 1 in the folded position;

Figure 3 shows a second embodiment of the stand according to the invention in the open position;

Figure 4 shows the tribune shown in Figure 3 in the closed position; and Figure 5 shows two of the stands shown in Figure 3 coupled together in perspective.

Detailed description of the drawings.

Figures 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the stand according to the invention in the folded-up and closed positions, respectively. The stand 1 is formed by a rectangular container 3 which is divided into two parts 5, 7 by a sub-surface 9. The sub-surface 9. is perpendicular to two opposite longitudinal sides 11 of the container and is at an angle to relative to a transverse side 13 and a top side 15 of the container.

The parts 5,7 are pivotable relative to each other about a pivot axis 17, which forms the cutting line of the sub-surface 9 with the top side 15. In each part 5,7 of the container, seats 19 are provided along the sub-surface 9, which this embodiment are formed by benches with legs. The seats 21 of the seats 19 in the closed position of the container, see Figure 2, face each other and in the open position * see Figure 1, turned upwards * In Figures 3 and 4, a second embodiment of the stand is according to the invention is shown in the open and closed position. All parts that are the same as those of the first embodiment are indicated with the same reference numerals. This second embodiment of the grandstand 23 differs from the first embodiment in that in this case the seats 25 are not formed by benches with legs 15 underneath but by box-shaped benches. In the closed position, the dividing line 27 is not a straight line but a stepped line, see figure 4. In this case, the sub-plane 29 is to be understood to mean the plane which passes through the seats 25 in the middle. This plane 29 is indicated by a dash-dot line.

Figure 5 shows two linked stands 23 in perspective. The grandstands 23 are connected to each other via a separate stair element 31. In the other transverse side 33 of the container 3 there is a door 35, which provides access to the space in the lower half 7 of the container 3: In this space, for example, a toilet space and / or dressing space can be present.

Although in the foregoing the invention has been elucidated with reference to the drawings, it should be noted that the invention is by no means limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings. The invention also extends to all embodiments deviating from the embodiments shown in the drawings within the scope defined by the claims.
