Abstract
A freestanding booth comprising a plurality of upstanding peripheral walls, a roof and a base upon which the booth stands in use, one of the walls defining an opening that is closed by a door, wherein the base extends along a basal edge of a plurality of the walls but does not extend across the opening.
Description
- The present invention relates to a booth, in particular to an adaptable booth assembly which provides a zero threshold entry (or nominal threshold entry) rendering it accessible by all.
- Open plan working environments, such as office spaces, provide many advantages including the efficient use of available space and the promotion of interaction between workers using the space. However, such open plan environments suffer drawbacks where, for example, workers require a quiet space in which to concentrate on work, conduct meetings or make telephone calls.
- To address this issue, some open plan office spaces are provided with a limited number of isolated offices or meetings rooms, which can be used by workers when a quieter or more private environment is required. Such isolated spaces are typically built into the permanent structure of the office space, and are commonly located at or towards the periphery of the office space for convenience.
- A disadvantage of this arrangement is that such isolated spaces are generally inflexible and immobile and thus cannot be easily adapted in response to the changing requirements of the users of the office space. For example, an organisation owning or renting an office space may experience fluctuations in the number of workers using the office space, and thus the number of isolated spaces required may vary over time. Similarly, the occupants of a rented office space may change on a regular or semi-regular basis, with different occupants having different requirements in terms of the number or nature of isolated spaces within the office space.
- To address these issues the use of freestanding soundproofed booths which can be readily re-located, and which provide a convenient isolated space for a worker in an open plan office environment, are becoming more popular.
- The present invention arose in an attempt to provide an adaptable booth which can provide a convenient isolated space for a worker in an open plan office environment and provide a zero threshold entry (or nominal threshold entry) rendering it accessible by all.
- According to the present invention in a first aspect there is provided a freestanding booth comprising a plurality of upstanding peripheral walls, a roof and a base upon which the booth stands in use, one of the walls defining an opening that is closed by a door, wherein the base extends along a basal edge of a plurality of the walls but does not extend across the opening.
- By the provision of a base to which the walls are mounted, a stable construction may be provided. The booth may, however, be broken down to a compact form for storage or transportation. By provision of a base that does not extend across the opening, it is possible to provide a zero threshold entry to allow access for all.
- The booth is preferably soundproof.
- According to the present invention in a second aspect there is provided a freestanding booth comprising upstanding peripheral walls, a roof and a base upon which the booth stands in use, one of the walls defining an opening that is closed by a door, wherein the base extends along a basal edge of a first of the walls, the first wall being fixed to the base via a first levelling assembly, the first levelling assembly comprising a first height adjustment mechanism and a second height adjustment mechanism that are spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction of the basal edge of the first wall and are independently adjustable for altering an angle of the basal edge of the first wall relative to the ground.
- The base may be fixed to, or simply placed on, a floor (which may be uneven) and the booth may be built up on the base. By the provision of the levelling assembly, the booth may be suitably levelled to ensure appropriate noise sealing and correct fitment of the door.
- The first and second aspects are preferably combined with one another, although the first aspect may be implemented independently of the second aspect, as discussed in the specific description.
- Further, preferable, features are presented in the dependent claims.
- Non-limiting embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a partially assembled booth according to one embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a sub frame of the booth ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a close up view of detail A inFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 4 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing the mounting of a wall frame to the base via a levelling mechanism; and -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the booth ofFIG. 1 partially disassembled by removal of wall panels. - With reference to
FIG. 1 , there is shown a freestanding booth 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The booth 1 is shown in a partially constructed state with inner panels and the door missing. No furniture is installed. - The booth comprises upstanding
peripheral walls 2, aroof 3 and a base 4 (as seen inFIGS. 2 to 5 ) upon which the booth stands in use. One of thewalls 2 defines anopening 5 that is closed by adoor 6. Thebase 4 extends along a basal edge of a plurality of the walls but does not extend across the opening. - Whilst in the present arrangement the booth has four walls 2 (and thereby four sides) it could have more or less walls/sides in alternative arrangements. The principals of its construction as discussed in greater detail below will be suitable for constructing booths having numerous forms, including triangular, hexagonal or octagonal booths or otherwise, wherein adjacent sides would be at an oblique angle to one another rather than perpendicular to one another as in the present arrangement. More than this booths could be constructed with curved walls.
- Furthermore, whilst the booth is constructed by attaching panels to a sub frame, as discussed below, it should be appreciated that the present invention is applicable to booths that have alternative structures, such as booths formed by attaching complete composite or laminate panels to a base. In such cases, it will not be a frame member that is fixed to the base but an appropriate portion of the alternative panel structure.
- Moreover, bases could be provided, which are not only provided at the periphery of the booth, in contrast to the arrangement shown.
- The present invention is not to be limited to the specific structure detailed.
- The
base 4 extends along (and under) the basal edge of three of the fourwalls 2, as best seen inFIGS. 2 and 5 . It does not extend along the basal edge of thewall 2 that defines theopening 5 that is closed by thedoor 6. It is, accordingly, substantially U-shaped. Thebase 4 comprises a plurality ofelongate sections elongate sections - Where adjacent walls are arranged at angles other than right angles to one another then the angles between
adjacent sections - The
base 4 is provided at the periphery of the booth only, as clearly seen. - In alternative arrangements, this need not be the case. For example, there could be an arrangement where the base was otherwise constructed to extend across at least a proportion of the internal floor surface of the booth.

In the present arrangement, the vertical frame members are provided with thehooks 18 and the inner and outer panels are provided with thelugs 19. - The
lugs 19 are preferably formed by brackets, as shown. The hooks are preferably formed by cut-outs 18 in thevertical frame members 12. The cut-outs may each comprise a slot, which has a width that varies along its length. The slots may be generally L-shaped and extend horizontally for a distance from an open mouth before travelling vertically down to a closed end. The slots may each be tapered to reduce in width between the open mouth of the slot and the closed end of the slot. The closed end of each slot may be curved with a diameter that is substantially equal to the diameter of a cylindrical rod (defining lug 19) of the respective bracket that is received thereby. - It should be appreciated that numerous other means of fixing panels to the sub frame will be possible, as will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art. The present invention is not to be limited in this regard.
- The
panels 16 may take any suitable form. They will preferably have sufficient rigidity to prevent sagging. The inner panels may comprise padded fabric panels to provide for acoustic damping. The outer panels may be rigid panels and could be formed from wood, plastic or otherwise. The inner and outer panels could be formed from the same materials or from different materials. There may besound proofing panels 17 provided between the inner and outer panels. These may be included or omitted in dependence on the acoustic properties of the inner and outer panels. - The
walls 2 may comprise multiple smaller inner and outer panels or a single inner panel and a single outer panel. The use of multiple smaller panels is preferable to allow for more compact transportation or storage when the booth is dismantled. In the present arrangement, as clearly seen inFIG. 1 , the first and second walls 2 a, 2 b each comprise a pair of outer panels. - An acoustic seal of any suitable form preferably extends along the basal edge of each of a plurality of the
walls 2. The acoustic seal may extend around substantially the entire periphery of thebase 4. It may extend continuously around the periphery of the base. In the present arrangement with the base being substantially U-shaped, the acoustic seal extends continuously around three basal edges of the booth. The acoustic seal preferably extends along the basal edge of the side with thedoor 6 on either side of the door as far as the door opening. As discussed, the door is preferably provided with a drop down seal (not shown) of conventional form that retracts as the door is opened under the force of a spring or otherwise and drops down as the door is shut. It may otherwise be provided with an alternative form of seal. With a seal under the door there is provided an unbroken basal peripheral seal (around the entire periphery of the booth). The door/opening is/are preferably further provided with suitable sealing such that the opening is sealed by the door when closed. The outer panels, including the outer panel(s) of the walls and roof are preferably sealed with one another, such that when the door is shut a sealed volume is defined. A suitable ventilation system may be provided to allow for suitable airflow/cooling during use. - The
basal frame members 14 define the basal edges of the first and second walls 2 a, 2 b respectively that are fixed to thebase 4 via the first andsecond levelling assembly FIG. 4 , which shows a partially cutaway view of thefirst levelling assembly 7 a. - The levelling
assembly 7 a comprises the first and secondheight adjustment mechanisms height adjustment mechanisms height adjustment mechanisms member 20 that is fixed to thebase 4.
