Abstract

Caravan for users with reduced mobility, consisting of a conventional caravan with its various modules such as bathroom, kitchen, sofa convertible or not, furniture, etc., characterized because it includes at least two accesses (4) to it, wide enough so that a person can fit in a wheelchair or similar device of reduced mobility, and internally communicated by a corridor (7) so that you can enter and exit in front.

Description

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an adaptation in conventional caravans, to facilitate access and mobility within the same to people in wheelchairs or any other device for people with reduced mobility.Currently caravans, on all the small ones, are not adapted or enabled to be used by people who move in a wheelchair, to start because the conventional side door is 10 narrow, and on the other hand, if they get access, they can only do so through a door , so if they enter from the front they leave the back or vice versa, since the maneuverability to turn is very small.That is why the invention proposes a distribution and, at least, two wide and sufficient accesses so that it is developed correctly and 15 satisfactorily anyone, especially those who use wheelchairs, walkers, crutches or other device for reduced mobility. of medium-sized and larger caravans, the different solutions that can be given are much more feasible by having more space.20 The advantages of this invention are the following: - With doors of greater width, users are allowed to enter comfortably use walkers, wheelchairs or other large devices for their movement without having to leave them out and be assisted by third parties.25 - By having at least two doors or access to the caravan, users with reduced mobility, especially They use wheelchairs, they can always go in and out without having to perform complex maneuvers.

- The adaptation of a conventional caravan to be accessible to this type of users is practicable in caravans of any size, being easier the larger the size of these.

- In the case of the caravans with a low-pitched roof, it would not be necessary to raise it, with the consequent savings in the manufacture of such roofs.

The industrial application of this invention is within the sector of the manufacture and customization of caravans, and more specifically caravans for use by people with disabilities and / or with reduced mobility who use wheelchairs or similar.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Although no invention identical to that described has been found, we present below the documents found that reflect the state of the art related to it.

Thus, document EP2303634A2 describes a camping vehicle comprising at least one vehicle wall, a tent construction that can be folded and has at least one individual tent wall, which can be converted from a state into an erected state and a frame construction. . The wall or walls of the vehicle and the wall or walls of the store, in a design in which they join together, form part of a boundary wall construction, which when erected defines at least one unique habitable internal area of the vehicle of camping. The delimiting wall construction is provided with an inflation connection and closing means that close the respective openings for the habitable area or areas. According to the invention, the boundary wall construction is designed in such a way that it can be inflated with the closing means closed from the stored state to an inflation state that occurs temporarily during the construction of the tent. The frame structure is designed in such a way that it becomes at least partially in its operational state during the inflation procedure and once the inflation procedure has been completed, said erected state is kept at least temporarily vertical. Nothing is described about the accessibility or adaptability of the vehicle

camping for people with reduced mobility and the inconveniences of adapting access and dimensions to this end, so it does not solve the problems posed by the main invention.

ES2548917A1 proposes a livable vehicle, of the type comprising a passenger compartment with an anterior zone with a driving position, at least one passenger seat, and a rear zone equipped as a habitable space with a side access gate; where the rear area comprises: a separate toilet module adjacent to the anterior zone and facing the side gate, a kitchen module, located on the side of the side gate and separated from the previous zone materializing a passage through the side gate; a convertible module, located at the bottom of the rear area, comprising a perimeter armchair with a lifting and / or removable central table, and means for conversion into a first berth; and a cabinet module, located between the toilet module and the convertible module. The aforementioned invention, in addition to referring to a motorhome instead of a caravan, does not contemplate adaptation for people with reduced mobility.

ES2510241A1 refers to a transformable vehicle is a motorhome in which a space for beds is established, equipped with lifting and lowering means, jointly or independently, being able to be retracted under the roof of the vehicle to leave a space completely diaphanous for various uses. It also includes another space for the toilet, shower and washbasin, the sliding toilet can be slid inside a closet, while the washbasin and shower tray are retractable by folding and are hidden in a double pivoting and sliding door cabinet, for define a dividing panel between the space and the space occupied by the kitchen appliances and living area, while the toilet space and the space of the beds, can be separated by sliding separating elements, creating in any case multispaces with several functions, according to the needs and uses of each moment. Again it is the concept of motorhome, different from the main invention, which also does not take into account the adaptation of spaces and access for people with reduced mobility.

Conclusions: As can be seen from the research carried out, none of the documents found solves the problems raised as the proposed invention does.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The caravan for users with reduced mobility object of the present invention is constituted from a conventional caravan with the different modules that usually have the type bathroom, kitchen, convertible sofa, furniture, etc., which has at least two accesses to it , wide enough for a person to fit in a wheelchair or similar device with reduced mobility, and communicated internally so that they can enter and exit from the front.

The caravan doors can be opened both laterally and sliding, beating upwards, to one side or even downwards, serving as an access ramp. Except in the latter case, access and exit is done by means of a ramp, elevator or any other means available for this purpose.

Those caravans with a collapsible roof to adjust to the height of a person of average standing height can dispense with said system when applied to users for whom the solution of the present invention is intended. These caravans have a lower height to occupy less space in their transport and improve aerodynamics, then the roof is raised so that a person can develop a comfortable activity and stand inside; but in the case of people who use wheelchairs and remain seated it would not be necessary for the roof to rise.
