Description

Device for accommodating rigid and flexible cladding elements for at least partially concealing radio systems and their system technology

The invention relates to the design of a supporting and visual protection structure for antenna systems and their system technology and their arrangement in the visible area on roofs of existing buildings.

The design concerns both the elements of the supporting structure, the cladding of the supporting structure and the stand elements required for safe installation.

Only partial solutions for the installation and assembly of radio systems and their system technology are known for an arrangement inside permanent buildings. Solutions for the construction of free-standing antenna systems on the roofs of existing buildings are not known, with the exception of simple free-standing masts or groups of masts.

Solutions with the innovative combination of features - electrically optimized, standardized in their technical design and visually appealing - that can be installed quickly and easily are missing on the market.

Suitable solutions for antenna covers to conceal radio systems and their system technology are not known.

The existing radio systems, with their different antenna designs, sometimes have a rather drastic impact on the appearance of the city and the landscape. The antennas appear intrusive, occasionally disturbing and dangerous. Although the antennas do not pose a direct danger to people, most people reject antennas with their current appearance.

It is therefore becoming increasingly difficult for network operators to find suitable locations and property landlords are increasingly encountering difficulties in finding premises,

which are located directly under or near antenna sites.

A strategy of aesthetically integrating the radio systems into the structure of the buildings and the architectural landscape and the resulting idea of deliberately presenting technical equipment in visually appealing cladding has not yet been pursued.

The object of the invention is therefore to develop a device that can accommodate cladding elements for antenna systems, carry or enclose parts of the antenna and system technology and can be quickly mounted on roofs of existing buildings.

This device, which is also optimized in terms of its electrical properties, is intended to transform the disturbing dominance of a technical device into an adapted and presentable form.

An inventive solution to this problem is specified in claim 1, further developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

According to the concept of the invention, support tube or support profile scaffoldings for arrangement on or on roofs of existing buildings are designed in such a way that radio-optimized cladding and design elements can be mounted on the support tube or support profile scaffolding in a flat manner in one plane or spatially in several planes at any angle to one another and thereby completely or partially enclose and/or surround the antenna and radio systems.

Elements of the antenna and system technology can be arranged or installed in the levels that limit the support tube or support profile framework in the visible area like a facade and are spanned by the support tube or support profile framework.

These levels are arranged horizontally or vertically, but also at any angle to the horizontal on the roof, also in the design of an attic sitting on top and/or spanning the attic or eaves.

If the support tube or support profile framework can accommodate several levels, these levels form a new spatial body, especially for corner solutions

The support tube or profile frame consists of a screwable or pluggable steel or aluminum element system, which can be partially or sectorally supplemented or replaced with radio-optimized material supports.

The fastening to the roof cladding or the parapet is carried out by means of screwing and/or a variable fastening by means of stand elements without screwing.

The wrapping material consists of rigid or solid and flexible elements as well as combinations of both. The design elements can take on a wide variety of forms.

The proposed antenna cover has the significant advantage that the disruptive dominance of a technical device is converted into an adapted and presentable form. The use of the device according to the invention results in an architectural continuation of the "used" building structure, taking into account the local structural conditions.

With the invention, antenna locations can no longer be easily recognized as such, as they adapt to the structural and architectural environment or conceal their technical character as independent, aesthetic structures. This increases the possibilities of placing antenna supports at other locations without any concerns and of better marketing existing locations.

Further details, features and advantages of the invention emerge from the following description of an embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawing

Fig. 2 Multi-level design of the device according to the invention as a projection on a corner of the building roof,

Fig. 3 Multi-level design as a corner solution in the style of an attic.

Fig. 1 illustrates the design of the device according to the invention, i.e. the support and privacy protection construction for antenna systems in one level 3.

A support tube scaffold 2 designed in the manner of a lattice 2.2 is set up in a vertical position on the building roof 1. The location of the support structure 2 with the cladding materials 4 (privacy screen) attached to it at level 3 is secured once by means of separate support elements 6. A further location is secured after the partial enclosing of the eaves 1.2 by fastening to the building.

Parts of the antenna system 5 can also be arranged in level 3.

The stand elements 6 can also secure the location of the supporting and privacy protection structure 2, 4 on their own, without the need for anchoring to the existing roof structure. The prerequisite for this is that the support surface and mass of the stand elements 6 correspond to the load to be secured.

Fig. 2 shows the design of the supporting and privacy protection construction 2, 4 with several levels 3. The device according to the invention is designed here in the manner of a corner projection with inclined levels 3.

The antenna technology 5 is arranged in levels 3 or behind levels 3.

Fig. 3 shows the supporting and screening construction 2, 4, designed as a supporting profile framework 2 with rigid and flexible cladding elements 4.1 attached to it, in the design of an attic 1.2 as a half-height attachment on the building ledge.
