DE20105374U1 - Wall brackets for hanging beer tent sets horizontally - Google Patents

Description

Description

Brackets of the usual design are usually made of flat or tubular material and are bent into a hook shape and provided with holes for screwing. Such brackets without a specific application are also used for hanging beer tent furniture.

The use of such commercially available holders is very complex, as the user has to come up with his own "hanging technique" and has to resort to the use of commercially available fastening elements.

This usually means that simple handling is not possible and a combination of hanging and fixing elements must be selected. This also means that the holding elements look unsightly both when used and when not in use and there is a risk of surface damage to the table tops or seats. The invention specified in the protection claim is based on the problem of finding a cost-effective, visually appealing and easy-to-use hanging device for the so-called beer tent sets, which are now also enjoying great popularity in the private sector. This problem is solved with the features specified in the protection claim, namely by producing specially designed holders for attaching the set to the standardized, folded-in foot angles of the benches and tables.

The invention enables beer tent sets of conventional, standardized construction to be hung in a horizontal position, which offers the following advantages:

• Only two holders are required per table or bench.

• Space-saving suspension, even when tables or benches are hung or removed individually (i.e. not from top to bottom).

• Suspension invisible from the front.

• Since the benches are attached to the foot brackets, the holders do not grip the surface and therefore cannot scratch it.

• It is sufficient to fix the bracket to the wall with a screw, as only vertical forces occur, which make it impossible to move the holder.

• The brackets are easy to install, as the design of the base brackets of the benches allows the suspension device to engage over a range of more than 20 cm, so that a precise horizontal fit is not necessary when attaching the brackets. It is only necessary to ensure (and this is only for aesthetic reasons) that the brackets are attached fairly horizontally and that there are approximately equal distances from top to bottom.

• For the same reasons, the tables and benches can be easily hung and removed by one person (again, the play of about 20 cm from right to left makes hanging easier). In addition, the benches and tables were originally intended (namely in breweries) to be stored stacked and therefore the foot brackets were provided with a protruding

can be leaned against the wall and lowered into the holders without fear of damage to the benches/tables and/or the holders.

• When hung up, it looks very good.

• When suspended, the brackets (six required for a set) are neither visually disturbing nor pose a risk of injury when walking past, as they only protrude about 2 cm from the wall.

The mounting brackets are designed as shown in the attachments . The suspension is designed as shown in the two attached drawings. They show:

The above-described advantages of the design are visible in the images. They also provide a visually appealing impression of the benches and tables when hung. With the usual construction dimensions of the beer tent sets, for example, there are hanging options for up to four complete sets on a standard garage wall, namely two on top of each other and two behind each other. Assuming the engagement height of the angle of less than 4 cm, a distance of 4 cm between the tables is sufficient to be able to hang a bench or table without having to remove the one above it first.

If this advantage were to be dispensed with, it would even be possible to achieve a virtually gap-free suspension and thus an optimal use of the available wall space. In commercially available sets, the table width is 60 cm and the bench width 20 cm, so that 100 cm is sufficient for optimal use of space, and 112 cm is sufficient if the table can be hung up and taken down individually. The simplicity of the construction described above also makes it possible to use high suspension positions, since "overhead suspension" is also possible due to the advantages described above.

Example:

1 Screw the holder to the wall according to the drilling pattern Figure 1 and Figure 2.

2 To hang the bench/table, place it with the foot brackets folded in horizontally and centrally over the 2 brackets (the brackets must be located between the two foot brackets) on the wall using the spacers provided for stacking and slowly lower it into the brackets.

3 Storage takes place in this position (Figure 2).

4 To remove the bench/table, lift it by at least 3 cm and pull it forwards.

Claims (1)

Wall brackets of very small design for horizontally hanging beer tent sets of conventional design at their foot angles on walls and posts, characterized in that the beer tent set is hung horizontally at the folded foot angles with only two brackets attached to the wall/posts, hidden from the seat/table surface, which enables a very small design of the brackets, since this is coordinated with the standardized construction of the benches and tables.
The holders are S-shaped, have a central hole on the lower leg and are folded over at the upper leg end (see drawing 2, Fig. 3 + 4).
The upper leg is also slightly bent to ensure that the foot angles can be retracted more easily (see drawing 2, Fig. 3). Only one screw is required for fastening per holder.
