DE10044529A1 - Modular system for converting standard transporters and large limousines in accordance with customer wishes comprises a foldable table installed in a holding rail between the front and rear seats - Google Patents

Abstract

The modular system for converting standard transporters and large limousines in accordance with customer wishes comprises a foldable table (3) installed in a holding rail between the reversed front seats (1) and the rear seats (2). The table plate consists of plywood, and is coated with a plastic material. It includes a variety of items (foldable mattresses, drawers, computer and medical equipment etc.) in the framework of additional conversion modules.

Description

The modular vehicle expansion system consists of a number of individual expansion modules (Vn), which in Commercial large sedans (van) or in combi vans as well as in off-road cars quickly and easily snapped into the mounting rails in the floor of the vehicle can.

This increases the use value of such high quality vehicles by the component "commitment for the division ".

In addition to the functional design of the business area in the vehicle, there are also emergency situations thought d. H. that the work area can be quickly converted into a sleeping area.

To do this, the extension module (V) is tilted by 90 °, the seat back (s), the work seat (e) are folded in and so the extension modules (V), the extension module (S, like side module) and the folded seat form one Support level for a folding mattress that can be carried in the rear.

In addition to the variation module (Vn), an expansion module (S1) can be snapped on to the right of the work seat, in the drawer inserts of office organization systems, boxes for Computer workstation materials (CD holder, printer paper trays, etc.) u. a. m. can be inserted.

To set up the workplace, the driver's seats are rotated and form with one or two rear Work a conference corner. If necessary, a folding table can be placed between these seat combinations to be moved according to space requirements.

Thus, the rotated driver seats and work seats positioned opposite with a folding table in the Middle with a side module for printer, laptop or other equipment as well as with the one behind Variations module located in the work seat is the perfect working environment for a wide variety of work Business areas in large passenger cars.

The business car can then advantageously be turned back into a family car in a few simple steps or convert into a van without passenger seats.

Through a selected, adapted technical equipment and an equipment with user-specific Devices and equipment, e.g. B. for the medical technology expansion module V3 is the accommodation medical consumables, medicines, bandages, technical devices and aids relevant to the care of people (country doctor, emergency doctor, etc.) and also animals (veterinarian), a broader User group reached.

In the same way, expansion modules would be designed for a wide variety of business areas, such as:

• - Standard equipment (expansion module V1) for experts, engineers, construction supervision, etc .;
• - Surveyor with a measuring station module (V2);
• - Computer service, advice and application with a computer technology module (V4);
• - Sales and other sales with a consultant technology module (V5):
• - Environmental technology (monitoring, service, etc.) with an environmental technology module (V6).

Furthermore, vehicle fittings for home care, physiotherapy and other services are on People conceivable.

Another important advantage is the state subsidy for special cars such as office and emergency doctors u. a., compared to which standard cars are spared such promotional measures.

Compared to vehicle equipment of well-known technical solutions, such as office vans from Volkswagen or Italian suppliers, or obvious patent solutions from A 47 B85 / 08, such as DE 40 10 055, DE 196 27 000 or DE 198 45 941 - transformable furniture - the present patent solution has following advantages:

• - Fast conversion from the comfortable, tailored to the needs of the respective user Business vehicle removal again in a family car or in a van;
• - Fast, uncomplicated conversion of the interior into the "workplace" state "Sleeping or" resting place ", due to the congestion and stress situations on the highways particularly important;  
• - By carrying along a supply center consisting of a mini kitchen module in the Expansion module (V) and a preferably 1000 W power generator with electrical The vehicle crew is self-sufficient;
• - The expansion modules (V1 to Vn) are geared towards a wide range of business issues;
• - From a non-government-sponsored passenger car can be done in a few easy steps eligible special vehicle can be combined.

The invention is explained below using an exemplary embodiment: In the associated Show drawings

The modular vehicle system expansion is similar constructed as a modular system, wherein Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 reflect the interior of the vehicle, while FIGS. 4 to 8 show the individual expansion modules as well as variants.

In Fig. 1, the expansion modules table 3 , expansion module 40 , the table (folded and stowed) and the expansion module (V1) 20 are shown constructed as a workplace. In the rear storage space under the opened cover 22 and in the lower case of the expansion module (V1) 20 there is space for equipment, e.g. B. for the folding bed 50 , power generator or mini kitchen module.

Fig. 2 shows the vehicle expansion with the in plan view.

Fig. 3 shows the converted vehicle in the "sleeping position", with an additional wedge cushion balancing the seat shapes of the driver's seats and thus making the lying level more favorable.

While Fig. 4 shows the construction of the expansion module (S1) 40, the expansion module (V1) 20 with quick locking 21 and hinged lid 22 is in FIG. 5. Furthermore, the recording for hanging file folders can be seen on average.

In Figs. 6 and 7 of the folding table 3 is opened presented with middle support 6, the U-beams 7 projecting at right angles which span a support surface for the table plate 10. For fastening and fixing the position of the plate 3 to the aluminum mounting frame 5 , latching lugs 8 of the table top, which engage in frame grooves, and Velcro strips 9 (hooks and eyes) on the frame 5 and table top 10 hold the table 3 together.

When folded, frame 5 and table top 10 are connected to a packing unit with Velcro straps and stowed away in space behind the work seat (2nd row of seats) 2 during transport.

Fig. 8 shows variations of the expansion module (Vn) 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, it being understood from the basic body and in the lower box drawer modules 63, 73, 83, 93, 103 or Temperiermodule 74, rack modules 85, 105, or hanging files modules 64 , 93 can be fitted with pull-out rails in the individual module variants.
