Abstract

The invention concerns a furniture element having a functional part and a stand which is connected to the latter and by means of which the furniture element can be erected on a base, the stand being formed at least in regions with a threaded section by means of which the stand can be reversibly screwed into the base.

Description

furniture element

The invention relates to a piece of furniture with a functional part and a stand connected to the functional part, with which the furniture element can be set up on a substrate.

Furniture elements of the type mentioned are widely known and are offered for both the interior and exterior of buildings in different designs. In particular, in outdoor applications of buildings, it is also known to set up the base not only on the ground, but to produce increased strength by the fact that the base is stuck or rammed into the ground. However, this requires on the one hand a certain flexibility of the substrate and on the other hand high force, which seems to be in need of improvement.

On the other hand, it is also known for outdoor applications to provide screwable foundations which can be screwed into the substrate, on which subsequently a base of a furniture element, for example the rod of a parasol, is fixed by insertion and clamping. In this type of attachment, however, it is necessary to screw as completely as possible in a first step the Schraubfundament in the ground, which requires great effort and usually can be done only with the aid of specially suitable tool and subsequently in a second step, the furniture to be fixed in or on the screw foundation. This, too, is therefore associated with great expense and hinders, for example, only a temporary positioning of a furniture element in changing places obstructive. The object of the invention is therefore to propose a furniture element of the type mentioned, which can be fixed easily and quickly without the aid of tools stable on a substrate preferably in the outer area of buildings with little effort.

To solve the problem, a MÖbeielement with the features of claim 1 is proposed according to the invention.

Advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

The invention proposes to form the base of the furniture element at least partially with a threaded portion, by means of which the base is reversible screwed directly into the ground. According to the invention thus comes from the MÖbeielement without additional Schraubfundamente or the like, since the required for fixing in the ground threaded portion is integrally formed in a suitable region of the base and therefore the MÖbeielement by a few turns about its own axis with its threaded portion in the ground can be screwed , whereby its erection has already been effected. In the same way can be solved by reverse rotation of these compound caused again by the threaded portion is unscrewed from the ground. Thus, the invention not only achieves a particularly solid state of the furniture element, but this can also be stable in the shortest time and reversibly decrease again, for example, to be placed in a different location.

According to a proposal of the invention, the functional part and the base are rigidly connected to each other, so that, as it were, the desired rotation of the base can be effected with the threaded portion formed thereon by rotation of the functional part. Since usually considered the functional element in the axial direction of the stand has a larger diameter than the base itself, resulting upon rotation of the functional part advantageous and the screwing in or out of or from the ground supporting lever forces for the screw movement of the threaded portion in or from the bottom reason. Of course, it can also be provided to temporarily separate the base and the functional part, for. B. to ensure Zeriegbarkeit for a smaller pack size or the stand z. B. in very hard ground by means of a turning tool screw into the ground before the functional part is attached. For this purpose, for example, an insertion opening for a lever or a suitable contour for attacking an open-end wrench can be formed on the base. The position of the connection area between base and functional part can be varied according to requirements.

According to a further proposal of the invention, moreover, the functional part is formed at suitable locations with handles to support the reversible screwing of the base, said handles having sufficient to achieve the desired leverage radial distance from the central axis of the base. The handles can z. B. as a handle recesses, edge recesses or profiles may optionally be formed with anti-slip surface coating.

In order to ensure the easiest possible screwing of the threaded portion in the ground, this has, according to a proposal of the invention starting from a tip on a conically widening in the direction of the functional core, with the conical extension both over the entire length of the base and only can extend over a certain length portion of the threaded portion, in the latter case, the remaining portion of the length of the threaded portion is then preferably made cylindrical.

According to a further proposal of the invention, the threaded portion is formed by a helix with a tip facing away from the functional part end, wherein the helix is designed with or without clearance. Such formed by a Wendef with tip threaded portions are known in principle as Korkenziehergewinde with or without space and can be used as it were within the scope of the invention.

The functional part of the furniture element according to the invention is not subject to any general restrictions, but rather all functional elements can be used, which require an attachment in the ground by a stand. Examples of a Such Funktionssteiies are a table top, a preferably lockable storage container, a champagne cooler, a grill, a seat or a parasol. Also, combinations are possible, for. B. may be designed as a table top functional element with an additional receiving bore for a parasol and the like.

Furthermore, the furniture element according to the invention is not subject to a particular selection of materials, but rather the functional part and the base can be made, for example, from metallic or plastic materials, material mixtures of which are also suitable.

The functional element 1 and / or the beach foot can also with attack points, such. B. insertion or cross-sectional profiling be provided for the attack of a turning tool.

trained functional part

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a furniture element, which is provided globally with reference number 1. This consists of a functional part 2, which is formed in the example shown here by a table top, as well as a rigidly connected to the functional part 2 base 3 with a central axis M. The base 3 is formed in the example shown here over almost its entire length with a threaded portion 31 which is formed by a core with circumferential thread flanks 31 1 of an external thread.

Furthermore, it can be seen that the base 3 formed with threaded portion 31 is formed at its end remote from the Funktionsteii 2 end with a tip 32 and the core, starting from this tip 32 in the direction of the functional part 2 widens conically.

As a result of this selected configuration, it is possible to fasten the furniture element 1 shown in FIG. 1 with a functional part 2 designed as a tabletop to a suitable substrate by turning the latter around the central axis M, whereby the threaded portion 31 in the background, not shown here screwed in and a particularly simple, but highly stable installation of the furniture element 1 is achieved.

The required for screwing the base 3 in the background, not shown force is reduced to an easily manageable level, since the functional part 2 has a relatively large diameter relative to the base 3 and when gripping the functional part 2 at the largest diameter these force application points a correspondingly large radial distance have from the central axis M, resulting in advantageous, screwing supporting leverage forces, so that such screwing can be easily effected by hand. For example, the functional part 2 designed as a tabletop can also be equipped with handles 5 which can be seen from FIGS. 8b and 8c, which allow even greater forces to be applied in comparison to the handleless variant according to FIG. 8a.

In the same way can be lifted by opposing rotation of the base 3 about its central axis M, the effected connection with the ground by unscrewing the threaded portion 31 from the ground again, so that not only a quick and easy installation, but also disassembly of the furniture element 1 is guaranteed , The attachment of the furniture element 1 is therefore reversible. Figures 2 to 7 show over the figure 1 modified embodiments of the furniture element 1, wherein like parts are given the same reference numerals and will not be explained separately to avoid repetition, unless this is necessary for the understanding of the invention.

In the embodiment according to FIG 2, the threaded portion 31 of the base 3 with a turn! executed in the manner of a corkscrew thread with clearance, while in the embodiment of Figure 3, the threaded portion 31 is performed by a helix without clearance. Furthermore, it can be seen that the threaded portion 31 does not extend over the entire length of the base 3, but is supplemented in the transition region to Funktionsteii 2 by a cylindrical portion 34.

In addition, in the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the functional part 2 is designed as a preferably closable storage container, so that such a trained furniture element, for example, as a valuables container for swimming pools or the like is suitable.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 4, the functional part 2 is formed by a champagne cooler, while in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5 the functional part 2 is formed by a ball grill, wherein the versions of the feet 3 are each selected differently, but not bound to the selection of the functional part 2 are, that means they are freely interchangeable with each other and serve only to illustrate the different possibilities within the scope of the invention.

A furniture element 1 can be seen from FIG. 6, which has a seat shell 2 as a functional element, wherein in addition the pedestal 3 is divided into two sections, namely a threaded section 31 with a core extending from the top 32 in the direction of the functional element 2 and a thereto subsequent cylindrical portion 34 is executed.

Finally, the embodiment of Figure 7 shows the embodiment of a functional element 2 as a parasol, wherein additionally also a table-top-like element 4 may be provided in the transition to the base 3. With reference to FIGS. 8d to 8f, in contrast to the embodiments according to FIGS. 8a to 8c, in the case of the embodiment of the functional part 2 as table top, in addition to a circular configuration thereof, also different geometries, for example square basic shapes according to FIG. 8d, hexagonal shapes according to FIG 8e or oval shapes according to Figure 8f may be used, of course, a variety of other designs are conceivable.

All the above embodiments of the furniture element 1 it is to own that these can be screwed by simple rotation through the central axis with your threaded portion 31 on the base 3 in a substrate and anchored in this way within a very short time and in the simplest way high strength in the ground and when not in use can be removed in the same simple way by opposite rotation back from the ground.
