DE20316034U1 - Sleeping area for camper van, divided longitudinally and swiveled towards lateral walls if not in use - Google Patents

Abstract

Two single sleeping areas (2a, 2b) are joined with hinges to guides located at the inner surfaces of the walls of the camper van with one side and to a rope with the opposite side. Both parts can be positioned on top of two storage units (1) and used as a double bed (2b) or pulled into an inclined position (2a) close to the roof (3) by an electrically operated rope and pulley system for storage.

Description

So far there are two categories of camping vehicles:

• - large campers with a width of at least 2.20 m and a total length of 6 meters and more, which normally all living functions (sleeping, Sitting, cooking, plumbing, Storage space). These are mostly construction vehicles, in which either a whole structure or only for the living area is attached.
• - small Campers with a width of less than 2 meters and one Length just over 5 meters, where the residential functions are restricted. It is mostly around expansion vehicles where an existing (box) chassis has been taken over and only a new interior is installed.

The advantage of larger motorhomes (more Living comfort) opposite The smaller camping buses are bought with the following disadvantages:

• a) They are particularly difficult to drive and in on small roads their possible uses limited
• b) There are mainly in cities only a few suitable parking spaces.
• c) Air resistance and weight are especially in alcove vehicles particularly high, so fuel consumption is often 12 liters Exceeds 100 km.
• d) The cross wind sensitivity is relatively high, which at strong winds Lead situations can.
• e) For these reasons Unlike the camper, a motorhome cannot be used as an everyday vehicle so that it is usually bought in addition to your own car or must be rented. That usually means a big financial one Burden.

The specified in protection claim 1 Invention combines the advantage of mobile homes (all residential functions are available) with the mentioned advantages of camping buses based on their lower volume and their car-like driving characteristics. The motorhome according to claim 1 is for a maximum of two adults and conceived a child. It is a motorhome, so far behind the cab is fitted with a new special structure (semi-integrated Camper). In terms of dimensions, however, it is a camper with a width of less than 2 meters and a length of less than 5.5 meters.

The invention according to Schutr claim 1 and the subordinate claims includes a space-saving spatial arrangement of home furniture, which is suspended by a special two-part double bed suspended on the long sides behind the cab ( 1 / 2 ) is made possible. It has an area of approx. 200 x 180 cm, which is rarely found even in large motorhomes. The clear height of 90 cm between the bed and the ceiling is almost never achieved in alcove beds. Also to be mentioned is the individual access to each bed, which is usually not available with an alcove double bed.

Another important advantage of this Bed construction is the fact that the mattress is not everyone Times before use with a fitted sheet, because the two bed surfaces are turned outwards in the storage position and for the users invisible. Duvets and pillows can also be placed on the bed to lie down.

These advantages are the result of a special construction of the two-part double bed, which is suspended lengthways. It consists of two bed boxes with a trapezoidal cross-section, the longer of the parallel sides pointing upwards. The hinges of the bed boxes as a connection to the outer walls are suspended in vertical wall rails and can therefore be moved vertically up and down. The inner sides of the bed boxes are 1 / 4 ) pulled down and up, which also causes their vertical movement on the outside. Thanks to this construction, the lowered bed boxes form a flat surface in the sleeping position, while when pulled up they form an angle of 45 degrees between the walls and the ceiling of the living room.

Claims (4)

Space-saving living space design for small motorhomes with a two-part double bed suspended on the long side, characterized in that two long side bed boxes in the sleeping position horizontally at a height of approx. 95 cm - only separated by a narrow gap - on the cupboards underneath ( 1 / 1 ; 2 / 10 ) and a double bed ( 1 / 2 B ) form. Both bed boxes are each hinged ( 2 / 8th ) connected to the outer walls and are each connected to the inside by two electric winches ( 1 / 4 ; 2 / 11 ) on the ceiling approx. 1 m up to the storage position ( 1 / 2a ) drawn. In this position, the bed boxes form a 45-degree angle between the ceiling and the outer wall. Their hinges are stored in vertical wall rails so that they can be pulled up and 30 cm on the outside together with the bed boxes and lowered again. The stability of the bed boxes in the sleeping position results from their contact surfaces on the top of the home furniture, the contact surfaces of the hinges at the lower end of the vertical wall rails and their suspension on the cable winches. according to claim 1, characterized in that the bed boxes ( 1 / 2a and 2 B . 2 / 1 ) a trapezoidal symmetrical cross-sectional profile have, which tapers downwards. The side surfaces make an angle of 45 degrees to the lying side and an angle of 135 degrees to the underside. according to claim 1, characterized in that the two longitudinal beds are attached directly behind the cab in the living area. Among them are home furniture with a width of approx. 60 cm on the outer walls ( 1 / 1 . 2 / 10 ) attached, separated from an approx. 60 cm wide central aisle. The outer storage compartment ( 2 / 13 ) forms with most of its top surface a support for a bed box. according to claim 1, characterized in that the outer walls and ceiling of the living room by a curve with a radius of about 60 cm ( 1 / 3 ) are connected, which results in better statics, a reduction in the surface and thus a lower weight of the body as well as a lower sensitivity to side winds of the motorhome. This is made possible by the bed boxes suspended at an angle of 45 degrees in the storage position. Claim 5 according to claim 1, characterized in that the access to the two beds on the transverse or foot side of the respective bed via firmly mounted and centrally arranged step ladders ( 2 / 3 ) he follows. The space between the step ladder and the outer walls is in each case enclosed by a two-part wall cabinet ( 2 / 6 . 8th ) that extends parallel to the outer wall to the wet room. This takes up the entire width of the living cabin on the rear side (approx. 180 cm) and consists of three square surfaces with an edge length of approx. 60 cm each: the toilet ( 2 / 4 ), the shower room ( 2 / 14 ) and the sink ( 2 / 5 ) with mirror cabinet ( 2 / 9 ). There is a door between the toilet and the shower room, which can be folded back if necessary and then viewed through the glass rear door ( 2 / 12 ) covered. The entrance to the wet room can be accessed through a sliding door ( 2 / 6 ) be closed. At the edge of the wash basin there is a folding door that closes off the shower room from the wash basin.
