MEMORIA DESCRIPTIVA DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La invención, tal como expresa el enunciado de la presente memoria descriptiva, se refiere a un habitáculo convertible, plegable y portátil que aporta, a la función a que se destina, ventajas y características, que se describen en detalle más adelante. The invention, as expressed in the statement of this descriptive report, refers to a convertible, foldable and portable passenger compartment that provides, to the function for which it is intended, advantages and characteristics, which are described in detail below.
El objeto de la presente invención recae en un habitáculo plegable y transportable, que además de su uso como elemento de protección destinado a caseta de punto de información o de venta de productos, incorporándole un elemento de asiento se puede convertir en una parada de autobús o en un banquillo para eventos culturales o deportivos, siendo capaz de preservar a sus ocupantes del sol, la lluvia o el viento, a la vez que constituye un soporte óptimo en el que exhibir publicidad y/o información. Estas características lo hacen idóneo para su uso en todo tipo de eventos. The object of the present invention lies in a foldable and transportable cabin, which, in addition to its use as a protection element for an information point or product sales booth, by incorporating a seat element, can be converted into a bus stop or on a bench for cultural or sporting events, being able to preserve its occupants from the sun, rain or wind, while constituting an optimal support on which to display advertising and/or information. These characteristics make it ideal for use in all kinds of events.
CAMPO DE APLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION
El campo de aplicación de la presente invención se enmarca dentro del sector de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de estructuras plegables, centrándose concretamente en el ámbito de las destinadas a la formación de habitáculos o casetas para eventos temporales, efímeros o itinerantes de cualquier índole, pero particularmente las destinadas a su uso como punto de información por ejemplo para turismo, como caseta de venta de productos, como banquillo para diferentes eventos deportivos o similares y como parada de autobús. The field of application of the present invention falls within the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of folding structures, focusing specifically on the field of those intended for the formation of rooms or booths for temporary, ephemeral or itinerant events of any kind, but particularly those intended for use as an information point for tourism, for example, as a booth for selling products, as a bench for different sporting or similar events and as a bus stop.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
El habitáculo convertible objeto de la presente invención ha sido diseñado, principalmente, para su uso como punto de información destinado mayoritariamente al turismo, caseta de venta de productos, banquillo para diferentes eventos o parada de autobús. The convertible passenger compartment object of the present invention has been designed, Mainly, for use as an information point intended mainly for tourism, a booth selling products, a bench for different events or a bus stop.
En todos los casos, los habitáculos a utilizar para tales usos han de ser estructuras sólidas, rígidas, ligeras y de fácil transporte, capaces de dar refugio y/o asiento, siendo de fácil retirada una vez terminada la actividad. In all cases, the rooms to be used for such uses must be solid, rigid, light structures that are easy to transport, capable of providing shelter and/or seating, and can be easily removed once the activity is over.
En el caso de los puntos de información, casetas de venta de productos o parada de autobús, actualmente son utilizadas estructuras fijas, de difícil instalación y que generan unos costes muy elevados, cumplen perfectamente su función de refugio, pero no dan la posibilidad de poder moverlas de un sitio a otro fácilmente y poder montarlas y desmontarlas en pocos minutos. In the case of information points, product sales booths or bus stops, fixed structures are currently used, which are difficult to install and generate very high costs. They perfectly fulfill their shelter function, but they do not give the possibility of being able to move them from one place to another easily and be able to assemble and disassemble them in a few minutes.
En el caso de los banquillos, han de ser estructuras de fácil transporte y construcción, capaces de dar asiento mientras dure el acto por el cual han sido instaladas. In the case of the benches, they must be structures that are easy to transport and build, capable of providing seats for the duration of the act for which they have been installed.
Para este uso, en la actualidad son utilizados bancos o banquetas comunes que cumplen correctamente su función de dar asiento, pero no dan protección a las inclemencias climatológicas, como el sol, la lluvia o el viento. For this use, common benches or stools are currently used that correctly fulfill their function of providing seats, but do not provide protection from inclement weather, such as sun, rain or wind.
Por otro lado, ya existen estructuras cubiertas, pero suelen ser instalaciones fijas o de difícil trasporte, y en el caso de estructuras plegables, suelen ser de materiales textiles o lonas, lo que las hacen muy frágiles respecto a las inclemencias climatológicas, poco resistentes y pudiendo provocar un efecto invernadero, por lo que son poco prácticas. On the other hand, there are already covered structures, but they are usually fixed installations or difficult to transport, and in the case of folding structures, they are usually made of textile materials or canvas, which makes them very fragile with respect to inclement weather, not very resistant and being able to cause a greenhouse effect, so they are impractical.
Finalmente, otro aspecto negativo de las casetas o banquillos desplegables actuales utilizados es que, como están construidos con telas o lonas, no permiten una fijación de publicidad tan buena como en el caso de una estructura de materiales rígidos y planos. Por otra parte, y como referencia al estado actual de la técnica, cabe señalar que, al menos por parte del solicitante, se desconoce la existencia de ningún otro habitáculo convertible, plegable y portátil o invención de aplicación similar, que presente unas características técnicas y estructurales ¡guales o semejantes a las del que aquí se reivindica. Finally, another negative aspect of the currently used pop-up booths or benches is that, since they are built with fabrics or canvas, they do not allow advertising to be attached as well as in the case of a structure made of rigid and flat materials.

Opcionalmente, el habitáculo comprende, en sustitución del soporte frontal (19), dos paneles plegables conformantes de una pared delantera (9) dotada con un orificio en forma de ventana frontal (8), tal como muestra el ejemplo de la figura 5, en cuyo caso, de preferencia, se contempla, a su vez, la inclusión de una puerta (10) practicada en la pared trasera (3) la cual es apreciable en la figura 6, si bien también puede estar practicada en una de las paredes laterales (2). Optionally, the passenger compartment includes, instead of the front support (19), two folding panels that form a front wall (9) provided with a hole in the form of a front window (8), as shown in the example of figure 5, in in which case, preferably, the inclusion of a door (10) made in the rear wall (3) is contemplated, which can be seen in figure 6, although it can also be made in one of the side walls (2).
Opcionalmente, el habitáculo comprende paredes laterales (2) compuestas, cada una, por dos paneles articulados, para tener así el doble de capacidad, tal como muestra el ejemplo de la figura 8. En este caso el techo (1 ) estará compuesto por dos piezas que, en este caso, no estarán unidas a las paredes mediante uniones articuladas, sino mediante cierres a presión (15), un ejemplo de los cuales se puede apreciar en la figura 14. Optionally, the passenger compartment includes side walls (2) made up, each one, of two articulated panels, in order to have twice the capacity, as shown in the example of figure 8. In this case, the roof (1) will be made up of two pieces that, in this case, will not be joined to the walls by means of articulated joints, but by means of pressure closures (15), an example of which can be seen in figure 14.
Opcionalmente, los paneles que componen las paredes laterales (2) y trasera (3) están divididos hohzontalmente en dos mitades (2a, 3a) que se pueden unir mediante unos perfiles en H (21 ), de manera que, en su forma plegada ocupan menos espacio y pueden ser transportados con mayor facilidad, tal como se observa en las figuras 18-A donde se muestra el conjunto montado, 18-B donde se muestra el conjunto explosionado y figura 20 donde se muestra con mayor detalle el citado perfil en H (21 ). Optionally, the panels that make up the side (2) and rear (3) walls are horizontally divided into two halves (2a, 3a) that can be joined by means of H-shaped profiles (21), so that, in their folded form, they occupy less space and can be transported more easily, as can be seen in figures 18-A where the assembled assembly is shown, 18-B where the exploded assembly is shown and figure 20 where the aforementioned H profile is shown in greater detail (twenty-one ).
Opcionalmente, el habitáculo, independientemente del número de paneles con que cuente cada pared, comprende uno o dos orificios conformantes de ventanas laterales (18) previstas en una o ambas paredes laterales (2), como se observa en el ejemplo de la figura 9, para tener más visibilidad o ventilación y con la posibilidad de incorporarle una ventana fija, abatible o plegable.

Likewise, to be able to transport the passenger compartment when it is in a folded position comfortably and easily, it has wheels (7), preferably two, externally incorporated into the lower part of one of the side walls (2), and it also has a strap (22), noticeable in figure 21, which has the function to tie the structure to prevent it from opening when we carry out its transport.
Adicionalmente, en la unión entre los paneles del techo (1 ) y los paneles de las paredes trasera (3) y laterales (2) se prevé la incorporación de una junta de goma (16) tal que, al cerrar los cierres de presión (15) con que se unen estos paneles, dichos cierres hacen la suficiente presión para que el techo (1 ) quede cerrado herméticamente, protegiendo el habitáculo de la lluvia, el sol y el aire. En la figura 15 se observa un segmento de dos ejemplos de la mencionada junta de goma (16), y que o bien puede consistir en una junta de goma redonda (16a) o en una junta de goma en U (16b) con un alerón longitudinal. Additionally, at the junction between the roof panels (1) and the rear (3) and side (2) wall panels, the incorporation of a rubber gasket (16) is provided so that, when closing the pressure closures ( 15) with which these panels are joined, said closures make enough pressure so that the roof (1) is hermetically closed, protecting the passenger compartment from rain, sun and air. Figure 15 shows a segment of two examples of the mentioned rubber joint (16), which can either consist of a round rubber joint (16a) or a U-shaped rubber joint (16b) with a spoiler. longitudinal.
En la figura 14 se puede observar un ejemplo de realización de los mencionados cierres de presión (15). Figure 14 shows an example of implementation of the aforementioned pressure closures (15).
