Abstract

The system has simulation rooms enclosing four wall units (10, 11, 12, 13). The units (12, 13) are movable relative to the units (10, 11) to adjust the size of the surface area of the rooms. The unit (11) has mounting holes for attachment of simulation bodies that furnish the rooms. A door simulation unit (19) is adjustably arranged on the unit (13) and has adjustment units to adjust the size of door openings.

Description

The invention relates to a system for simulating rooms, in particular sanitary rooms.

When planning a room with solid furnishings, especially a sanitary room, which has to be refurbished, for example, after a new building, after a renovation or remodeling, it is often difficult for the planner (house, apartment or architect or Bauausführenden) to imagine space as such only on the basis of drawn plans. The improved concept of the room can be achieved by a real simulation of a room with three-dimensional simulation elements, which represent, for example, bathtubs, showers, toilets, etc. Such an approach is particularly for the simulation of kitchens, but also for the simulation of sanitary facilities in the German patent 199 13 595 C1 and in the German Offenlegungsschrift 100 47 886 A1 described. There, however, only a wall is equipped with simulation elements to give the designer the idea of the impression of being set up To give wall. However, this prior art system is still not realistic to a satisfactory extent, since it gives a planner no complete impression of the space to be planned by him, as would be presented with a particular device.

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an improved system for simulating rooms on the basis of the aforementioned known prior art, which gives the viewer or a planner an improved and largely realistic presentation of the space to be furnished provided with furnishings.

This object is achieved with a system for simulating rooms and their device according to the protection claim 1. Advantageous developments of this system are specified in the dependent subclaims 2 to 10.

The essential whistle of the invention is to be seen in that the system according to the invention comprises a total of four wall elements, which can be arbitrarily displaced from each other by the relative movement described in claim 1, starting from a position in which they enclose a space maximum surface area, that they enclose a room with a smaller footprint. A user of this system can thus set (or set) the wall elements so that they enclose the base of the space to be set up by him. If, for example, a bathroom to be set up has dimensions of 2.5 m by 3.5 m, the system for simulating rooms can be adjusted by displacing the wall elements in such a way that a space with a base surface of the same size is enclosed between the wall elements. Another aspect that gives the whistle of the invention is the fact in that at least one of the wall elements has means for attaching the simulation bodies contained in the system. These devices are preferably distributed along the wall element, that the simulation body can be arranged in various positions to different, in reality conceivable arrangements of the individual furnishing elements, in the case of sanitary rooms, for example, toilets, sinks, bathtubs, showers, bathroom cabinets, wall units, etc. to be able to simulate. In the context of the invention, it is preferred that all four wall elements have such devices for attaching the simulation body.

It will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art that the system described above for simulating rooms and their arrangement over the prior art referred to above provides a significant improvement by allowing a more complete picture of the room to be simulated.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention (claim 2) two of the wall elements, namely a first and a second wall element, are arranged stationary. These wall elements are preferably adjacent wall elements. A third of the wall elements is displaceable on a carriage or on rollers parallel to the second, stationary wall element, and a fourth wall element is arranged on arranged on the third wall element and on the first wall element rails parallel to the first and the second wall element slidably. In this way, the system has two fixed wall elements and two sliding wall elements. Such an arrangement is basically the simplest arrangement for the realization of a system with four wall elements, with which up to a space of maximum size, a space can be set with a substantially rectangular or square floor plan in any size footprint.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention (claim 3), at least one of the displaceable relative to the other wall elements wall elements in a guide rail suspended, flat, substantially rectangular folding wall elements, which by rotating in a position in which the flat surfaces of the Faltwandelemente parallel are aligned with the extension of the displaceable wall element, for joining a closed wall are locked together. These folding wall elements allow on the one hand the construction of a closed wall with different lengths, depending on how many of the folding wall elements are connected together. In addition, can be simulated by moving and different arrangement of Faltwandelemente in a wall equipped with these door opening at different positions.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention (claim 4), the system according to the invention has at least one door simulation element, which is arranged displaceably in its position on at least one wall element. Such a door simulation element leads to an even more realistic simulation of the space to be simulated, in that the viewer or planner can also simulate the position of the door in the room. Preferably, the system includes a plurality of door simulation elements to simulate even those rooms having more than one door, for example, two doors on two adjacent walls. If only one door is present in the room to be simulated, the further door simulation elements can be used either removed or, as is preferred, be provided with a cover, so that they are no longer recognizable as a door and "fit" in the wall.

Advantageously, the at least one door simulation element has individually adjustable cover elements in order to be able to represent the size of a door opening to be simulated (claim 4). This preferred feature of the invention also makes it possible to simulate the room even more realistically by not only being able to display to the viewer the position of a door opening, but also its size.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention (claim 6) it is provided that the system is provided on at least one of the wall elements in an area in which this wall element abuts an adjacent wall element, a corner simulation element. This Eckensimulationselement consists of several each connected by hinges, substantially flat individual elements and allows the simulation of deviating from a simple right angle transitions between two walls of a room to be simulated. For example, wall projections, rounded wall transitions, "bevelled corners" and the like can be represented with such corner simulation element. Preferably, the corner simulation element is integrated in at least one of the walls in such a way that it can be sunk when not in use in a receptacle so that it integrates into the surface of the wall element.

A further improvement of the realistic simulation of a room to be established results from the described in claim 7, advantageous embodiment of the invention. Thereafter, the system includes at least one element for simulating sloping walls or sloping roofs, which is a in is adjustable in height attachable to at least one of the wall elements fixable holding elements and adjustable in inclination relative to the plane of the wall element plate. With such an element, for example, in attic apartments existing wall slopes or sloping ceilings of a room can be simulated. Depending on the height above the ground in which the slope begins, the plate can be hung at different heights and adapted to simulate the natural model in the inclination of existing in the actual space roof or wall slope.

Preferably, the above-described plate is provided with a slot having at least one enlarged opening, and in the system there is a tether having at one end an enlarged holding body which fits through the enlarged opening but not through the remaining slot (Fig. Claim 7). By setting the tether on a wall and adjusting the holding body to the tether (and thus the effective length of the tether) can be adjusted in a simple manner, the inclination of the plate relative to the wall element.

A further advantageous development of the system according to the invention is described in claim 9. Thereafter, the means for attaching the simulation body is formed by at predetermined grid intervals in at least one wall element but preferably arranged in all four wall elements receiving bores, wherein the simulation bodies holding elements are arranged, which can be set in the mounting holes. The receiving bores are preferably arranged at different heights measured from the ground and at this height parallel to the ground along the wall in a grid, which is a parallel spaced in small distances attaching the simulation body allows. For example, mounting holes can each be made in a single row at heights of 43 cm (normal mounting height for toilets, bidets, etc.), 85 cm (normal mounting height for sinks), 122.5 cm (mounting height for pre-wall elements) and 197.5 cm (normal mounting height for wall units). The distance between the mounting holes within a row can be, for example, 5 cm. The arranged on the simulation bodies holding elements may for example be equipped with locking projections, which hold them in the receiving bores.

Finally, a further advantageous development of the invention is specified in claim 10, according to which the system in the region of at least one of the wall elements has a preferably closable storage space for receiving simulation bodies. Since a multiplicity of different rooms are to be simulated with the system, whereby also a multiplicity of different common furnishings (for example a washroom of different dimensions, different toilets, etc.), a corresponding number of simulation bodies must be kept ready for this purpose. In order to be able to store these directly in the area of the system according to the invention, but to stow them properly, such a storage space is provided according to the invention.

In the figures, identical or similar elements are provided with the same reference numerals.

Reference is first made to Fig. 1 reference. An inventive simulation system generally designated 1. This simulation system is composed of four wall elements 10, 11, 12 and 13 enclosing an interior as well as simulation bodies which can be attached to the wall elements 10, 11, 12 and 13 for simulating furnishing objects or equipment of a room to be simulated.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, two of the wall elements, namely the wall elements 10 and 11, are stationary, whereas two further wall elements, namely the wall elements 12 and 13, are displaceable relative to the two first-mentioned wall elements. For this purpose, the wall element 12 is mounted on rollers and can be moved on the wall element 11 parallel to this in the direction of the wall element 10 and away from it. The wall element 13 rests with corresponding guides on a rail 14 arranged on the wall element 10 and a rail 15 arranged on the wall element 12. Guided in these rails 14, 15, the wall element 13 can be parallel to the wall elements 12 and 14 in the direction of the stationary wall element 11 be moved.

The wall element 13 is formed by a provided with corresponding guides, in the top of the wall elements 12 and 10 arranged rails 14 and 15 patch upper rail 16 and guided in the rail 16 folding wall elements 17 and 18. These Faltwandelemente 17 and 18 differ respectively only in their width. The folding wall elements 17 and 18 are mounted in the rail 16 so that they can be moved in this. In Fig. 1, the folding wall elements are shown in a folded state. The folding wall elements 17 and 18 are plate-shaped elements with narrow edges and broadsides. They can be moved in the rail 16 and rotated so that either a narrow edge or one of its broad sides is aligned parallel to the extension of the wall 13. At least in the orientation in which the broad sides of the folding wall elements 17 and 18 are aligned parallel to the extension of the wall element 13, the folding wall elements 17 and 18 can be locked together to form a wall. In addition to the folding wall elements 17 and 18, one or more door simulation elements 19 can be suspended on the rail 16 of the wall element 13.

Corner simulation elements 20, which are shown in greater detail in FIGS. 11a and 11b, are arranged in the transition regions (corner regions) between the wall elements 12 and 11 as well as 11 and 10.

In the area of the wall elements 10 and 12, respectively storage spaces 21 and 22 are provided for accommodating various simulation bodies not required in the current simulation. These storage spaces 21 and 22 are closable with doors.

In Figures 2 and 3, the system 1 according to the invention is shown as it with its wall elements 10, 11, 12, 13th encloses an interior 23 of different base area. While in Fig. 2, an interior 23 is formed with a maximum base area, a reduced inner space 23 is formed in Fig. 3. For this purpose, the wall element 12 has been displaced on the rollers in the direction of the opposite wall element 10 (indicated by the arrows pointing to the right on the wall element 12), and the wall element 13 is displaced in the rails 14 and 15 in the direction of the opposite, fixed wall element 11 been as indicated by arrows in the figure upwards. Basically, in this way, starting from an interior space 23 with a maximum large base area, any smaller interior space 23 can be set. The movable wall elements 12 and 13 are equipped with (not shown here) locking elements that allow a fixation of these movable wall elements 12, 13 to keep a once set room size safely and preclude an accident risk.

4 shows schematically how, for example, receiving bores 24 are introduced into the wall element 11. These receiving bores 24 are each arranged in horizontal rows with a regular grid spacing A. In this embodiment, the grid spacing is 50 mm.

Rows with locating holes are located at four different heights, heights h ₁ , h ₂ , h ₃ and h ₄ from the ground. In this embodiment, the height h _{1 is} 430 mm, the height h ₂ 850 mm, the height h ₃ 1225 mm and the height h ₄ 1,975 mm. Since the system according to the embodiment is preferably provided for the simulation of sanitary rooms, in particular bathrooms, the heights are selected so that the height h ₁ of the normal mounting height of toilets and bidets or bathtubs corresponds to the height h ₂ h ₁ to h ₄ the usual Attachment height for washbasins or vanities, the height h ₃ a normal height of a pretext element and the height h ₄ the usual mounting height for closets or wall cabinets.

In Fig. 4, different simulation body 25a to 25e are shown schematically. In this case, the simulation body 25a toilets or bidets, 25b a bathtub, 25c a sink or vanity, 25d a closet and 25e a pretext element for attaching a toilet or a bidet. It can be clearly seen that designated 25e simulation body for a Pre-wall element is also provided with grid holes 24, which also comply with the grid spacing A and the heights h ₁ and h ₂ .

The simulation bodies 25a to 25e are fixed to the receiving bores 24 which are passed through the wall member 11 in a manner to be described later. The receiving bores 24 shown in FIG. 4 by way of example with reference to the wall element 11 extend in the heights h ₁ , h ₂ , h ₃ , h ₄ and the grid A over all four wall elements 10 to 13.

FIG. 5 shows, in a schematic plan view comparable to FIGS. 1 to 3, an inventive system 1 with simulation bodies 25a to 25c arranged on the wall elements 10, 11 and 12. The simulation body 25a simulates a toilet, the simulation body 25b a bathtub and the simulation body 25c a sink.

In FIGS. 6a and 6b, the arrangement of a simulation body 25e for simulating a pre-wall element on a wall element, eg the wall element 11, is shown in more detail in two different installation variants. It can be clearly seen here, as arranged on the respective simulation bodies (or cooperating with these) hook elements 26 are introduced into the mounting holes 24. The hook elements 26 have at their end inserted into the receiving opening 24 a barb, which holds them in their position. The hook elements 26 are inserted in a tilted position in the receiving bore 24 and then fixed by tilting clockwise so that the barb rests behind the receiving bore 24 on the wall element 11 and thus holds the element provided with the hook element 26 in position. The simulation element 25e for simulating a wall porch is a preferably made of wood, inverted L-shaped element. In a lower region, it is held by means of a spacer block 27 at a distance from the wall element 11. The spacer block 27 is fixed with a hook element 26 in one of the mounting holes 24. In the upper area, the simulation body 25e (the prewall element) is suspended on a vertical rail 28 provided with hooks 29. For this purpose, the vertical rail 28 engages with its uppermost hook 29 in a corresponding recess on the simulation body 25e. The vertical rail 28 will be explained in other contexts, it allows the attachment of simulation bodies in the heights h ₁ to h ₄ deviating heights on the wall elements 10 to 13.

The simulation element 25e has in its lower region two folding elements 30, which are each connected via hinges 31 to the rest of the simulation body 25e or to the adjacent folding element 30. These folding elements 30 allow the use of a single simulation body 25e for the representation of pretext elements with different heights. In Fig. 6b, the lower height is shown, wherein the folding elements 30 are collapsed. In FIGS. 6a and 6b, it is further schematically shown in which another simulation body 25a for simulating a toilet is arranged on the simulation body 25e.

In FIGS. 7a and 7b, the realization of a simulation body 25b for simulating a bathtub is shown schematically in a further, more detailed illustration. The simulation body 25b is composed overall of support blocks 32 which substantially correspond to the holding blocks 27 shown in FIGS. 6a and 6b, however, fulfill another function and are likewise fastened via hook elements 26 in receiving bores 24 of a wall element, for example the wall element 11 , a plate 33 and arranged on the plate 33 skirt 34. The skirt 34 is fixed to the plate 33 via a hook and loop fastener 35. The plate 33 is provided with a print of a bath to make the simulation even more plastic.

In Fig. 7b different ways are shown to represent 34 different trough shapes with different from each other, which can be pivoted segments.

• Zunächst wird das am Ende des Haltebandes 37 angeordnete Gewicht 39 von einer Seite (der Rückseite) her durch die Öffnung 41 geführt und anschließend auch die Klemme 38. Die Klemme 38 wird dann aus dem Bereich der Öffnung 41 hinaus in den Bereich des Schlitzes 43 geschoben. Der Schlitz 43 ist schmaler als die Klemme 38, so dass die Klemme 38 hier gehalten wird. Anschließend wird noch das am Ende des Haltebandes 37 angeordnete Gewicht 39 durch die Öffnung 42 hindurch auf die Rückseite der Platte 40 verlegt, damit dieses nicht in den Raum hineinragt. Nun ruht die Platte 40, die die Dachschräge simuliert, einerseits auf Haken 29 der Vertikalschienen 28, andererseits auf der Klemme und ist über das Halteband 37 und die Aufhängung 36 gehalten. Durch Lösen der Klemme 38 und Verschieben derselben entlang des Haltebandes 37 kann dann der Winkel der simulierenden Dach- bzw. Wandschräge eingestellt werden. Die Höhe über dem Boden, in welcher die Dach- bzw. Wandschräge beginnt, kann durch Anordnen der Unterkante der Platte 40 in unterschiedlichen Haken 29 der Vertikalschiene 28 an unterschiedliche Höhen angepasst werden. In Fig. 8 ist noch einmal dargestellt, wie unterhalb einer wie oben ausgeführt mit der Platte 40 simulierten Dach- bzw. Wandschräge ein Simulationskörper 25a (hier eine Toilette bzw. eine Badewanne) angeordnet werden kann. Mit dem wie in Fig. 8 dargestellten System können in einem realen Raum vorhandene Dachschrägen zu einer verbesserten Simulation ebenfalls dargestellt werden.

In Fig. 8 is shown in a view from the side and a view from the front, as can be simulated with the system according to the invention roof slopes. For this purpose, a suspension 36 is mounted on a wall element, here in the example the wall element 11, to which a holding band 37 is fixed. The holding band 37 has a clamp 38 which can be fixed slidably on the holding band 37 and a weight 39 at its end. Furthermore, two vertical rails 28 already described above are fixed by means of insertion of the hook elements 26 into corresponding receiving bores 24 on the wall element. The roof slope is then simulated by a plate 40, which is set in two hooks 29 of the vertical rails 28 and with the tether 37 in a desired inclination is fixed. For this purpose, the plate 40 has a circular opening 41, a further circular opening 42 and a slot 43 connecting these two openings and running in a longitudinal direction of the plate 40. With the tether 37, the plate 40 is fixed as follows:

• First, the weight 39 arranged at the end of the tether 37 is guided from one side (the rear) through the opening 41 and subsequently also the clamp 38. The clamp 38 is then pushed out of the region of the opening 41 into the region of the slot 43 , The slot 43 is narrower than the clamp 38, so that the clamp 38 is held here. Subsequently, the weight 39 arranged at the end of the holding band 37 is also laid through the opening 42 onto the rear side of the plate 40, so that it does not protrude into the space. Now rests the plate 40, which simulates the sloping roof, on the one hand on hooks 29 of the vertical rails 28, on the other hand on the clamp and is held on the tether 37 and the suspension 36. By loosening the clamp 38 and moving the same along the tether 37 then the angle of the simulating roof or wall slope can be adjusted. The height above the floor in which the roof or wall slope begins, can be adjusted by placing the lower edge of the plate 40 in different hooks 29 of the vertical rail 28 at different heights. FIG. 8 once again shows how a simulation body 25a (in this case a toilet or a bathtub) can be arranged below a roof or wall bevel simulated with the plate 40 as described above. With the system as shown in FIG. 8, roof pitches existing in a real space can also be displayed for improved simulation.

In FIG. 9, from left to right in three different views, a door simulation element 19 is shown in two views, namely from the front and from the top, in different positions or variants. The door simulation element 19 includes a door opening 44 in which door opening adjustment members 45 are disposed right and left. These door opening adjustment elements 45 function similarly to the above-described folding wall elements. They can be folded out to change the width of the door opening 44 and pulled into the door opening 44 or folded back and pushed out of the door opening 44 out. A door simulation element 19 with a maximum wide door opening 44, in which all the door opening adjustment elements 45 are in an unfolded position, is shown in Fig. 9 on the far left, in the middle is shown how the door opening 44 has been made narrower by unfolding the door opening adjustment elements. In this way, with the system according to the invention, the width of the door opening of a real room can be simulated. Furthermore, folding wall elements 46 are arranged on the door simulation element 19 on the right and on the left, which function similarly to the folding wall elements 17, 18 already described above. These can be folded in the same way or unfolded. In Fig. 9 on the left they are shown in the folded position, in Fig. 9 in the center in the deployed position. At the far right in FIG. 9, it is finally shown how the door opening 44 of the door simulation element 19 can be closed by a cover plate 47 if no door is to be simulated with the door simulation element 19, but only a wall area is shown.

It must be mentioned here once again that the folding wall elements 17, 18 and 46 as well as the door opening adjustment elements 45 and the cover plate 47 with locating bores 24 are provided in the grid shown in Fig. 4, so that simulation elements can be arranged on these elements.

In Fig. 10 it is shown how a door simulation element 19 with roller elements 48 a and 48 b is slidably suspended on the rail 16 of the wall element 13. It is also shown how the door element 19 from the rail 16 in a rail 49 (see FIG. 1) can be transferred. For this purpose, a further roller element 51 is arranged on the door simulation element 19 next to the roller elements 48a and 48b, which engages in a transition from the higher-lying rail 16 in the lower rail 49 in this. The roller element 48a is then released from the rail 16 and withdrawn downward or folded out of the door plane, as shown in the right-hand illustration in Fig. 10. Similarly, a door element can also be transferred from the rail 16 of the wall element 13 into a rail 50 of the wall element 10 (see FIG. 1). In this way, with the door elements and wall slopes can be simulated, as shown in Fig. 12. There, in FIG. 12, it is also shown how a closed wall can be simulated by folding out individual folding wall elements 17 between the inclined door simulation elements 19. Also for the simulation of "oblique corners" here corner simulation elements 20 are designed accordingly. The door simulation elements 19 and the cover plates 47 as well as the corner simulation elements 20 are provided in the grid described above with mounting holes 24, so that also on these elements (also in the inclined position shown in FIG. 12) simulation body 25 ae can be attached.

In the figures 11a and 11b, finally, the structure of the corner simulation elements 20 is shown in more detail and shown ways of designing different room corners with the corner simulation element. The corner simulation element 20 consists of individual, plate-shaped segments 52 which are connected to each other via hinges 53 and the last of the segments 52 with the adjacent wall element 12. The hinges 53 are arranged for a first half of successive segments 52 on one side of the Eckensimulationselementes 20, for the second half of the segments 52 on the opposite side. This makes it possible to use the corner simulation elements 20 to simulate very different forms of transitions of one wall to another wall (here from the wall element 12 to the wall element 11). For example, a rounded transition as shown in Fig. 11a may be simulated or a wall projection as shown in Fig. 11b.

From the above description of the exemplary embodiment, it again becomes particularly clear with what high realism and flexibility real systems can be modeled for simulation with the system according to the invention and set up correspondingly with simulation bodies. This allows the viewer a very realistic sense of space; He can imagine the effect of the room to be furnished in different furnishing variants very concrete.
