    == BE2019 / 5646
    The invention relates to systems for enhancing the acoustic experience in a room, wherein components form part of such systems, such as a frame (and its sub-components), the sound absorbing material and suitable covers.
    Background of the Invention Systems must exist for enhancing the acoustical experience in a room that can be flexibly adjusted in size and / or in the way they are used in such a room (e.g. free-standing, suspended from the ceiling, connected to the wall), which is why there is a demand for a modular system.
    Since such systems can moreover become dirty, there is a further requirement that such systems must be cleanable, e.g. by providing a detachable fixable cover. By detachable fixable it is meant that the cover can be removed, but when attached or connected, the cover can be attached to the system in a detachable or removable manner.
    It is clear that such systems must also provide an artistic experience, e.g. by providing an artistic profile in the sleeve.
    However, the requirement for flexibility coupled with a cleaning need described above can endanger the artistic experience or appearance if appropriate measures are not taken.
    Object of the invention
    -2. BE2019 / 5646 The invention provides a technical solution that makes it possible to provide modular and cleanable systems for enhancing the acoustic experience in a room while preserving the artistic experience provided by the selected cover.
    Summary of the Invention In a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a cover, adapted for acoustic purpose, comprising: the cover material, having a profile or texture selected for the acoustic purpose and first fastening means [redominant use] for fixation dowel ends, meaning to in any case, have the cover material attached to the object or system to be covered, and second fasteners provided to ensure proper contouring or alignment of the profile [to thereby enhance the acoustic purpose and / or maintain its artistic sight). By profile is meant a kind of texture that represents a certain shape and material for the cover. For example, the cover is intended to cover a frame in particular, and the cover may be detachably fixable or attachable, meaning it can be removed (or taken off), but when the cover is attached or connected it can be removed in a removable manner. According to one embodiment, the cover can therefore be fastened removably around the frame by means of the first fastening means.
    In essence, by providing the second fasteners, the functions of mere fastening can be assigned to the first fasteners, while the functions for providing additional force to compensate internal stress within the profile can be assigned to the second fasteners.
    In one embodiment, a plurality of second securing means are provided, preferably symmetrically about axes of symmetry or point of symmetry of the frame, covering the frame. The second fasteners may be located on the corners of the frame. The cover can be knitted, printed with its (normal) profile.
    „3. BE2019 / 5646 Both first and second fasteners may include Velcro as well as a suitable surface for use therewith for fastening purposes. In a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a system using such a cover according to the first aspect. The system may further comprise a support, ie attached to the frame, for use as a standalone system, such as, for example, a room divider system. The system may further include an acoustic plate made of a sound absorbing material. The system may include an enlarged cover or an additional cover so that both sides of the frame {and possibly the embedded acoustic plate} are covered with cover material.
    In a third aspect of the invention, there is provided a frame for constructing such a system according to the second aspect.
    According to one embodiment, a frame is provided, comprising bars, connected by connecting means, the frame being further adapted in that the bars have an open end U-profile, to allow double-sided covering {covering both sides of the frame, and possibly also the acoustic panel embedded therein to thereby provide a space in which a third fastener (two covers joined, ie one for each side, or both sides of an enlarged version of or double sided cover joined) can be placed. By double-sided cover or trim it is meant that the cover material covers both sides of the frame and (if present) the acoustic material or plate embedded therein. According to one embodiment, a frame is provided comprising rods joined by connecting means, the frame being further adapted in that the connecting means is adapted to allow a support, for use as a self-contained or standalone system, to be attached along one of the bars over a substantial part of its length (to thereby prevent torsion}.
    In a particular embodiment, modifications are provided to one of its subparts within the context of double sided coated systems. By double-sided is meant

    Description of the Invention Referring to Figures 2, 4 and 5, the invention provides a {detachably attachable) cover 410 (covering a frame 200}, adapted for acoustic purpose, comprising: the cover material, having a profile or texture selected for said acoustic purpose and first fasteners 510 (for {removably} attaching the sleeve around said frame}, the sleeve further comprising second fasteners 520 provided to ensure proper contour or alignment of said profile and tensioned profile (thereby enhancing said acoustic purpose and / or maintain or improve its artistic rendering - by providing additional strength to balance internal stress within said profile) The invention provides a system, more particularly an acoustic system, comprising acoustic material 420 embedded. and fixed in a frame 200; and a (removably fixable) cover 410, which said frame 200 and / or the a cherishing material at least to den
    -6- BE2019 / 5646 side covered. The frame comprises (aluminum) rods or bars 150, connected by {plastic} connecting means 100, 120.
    Figure 1 (a) shows a part 100 of a frame, more in particular connecting means for connecting other frame parts such as for instance rods. Figure 1 (b} shows an alternative connector 120 for achieving an acoustic system with more rounded corners. Figure 1 {c} shows another part of a frame, more specifically a rod 150. The outer end of the rod has been modified for receiving a part of said connecting means so that the rod can be connected, eg to part 100, 120 for defining a part of the frame. As shown, in this embodiment the connecting means comprises two sub parts 110. Figure 2 shows how the connecting means 120 and rod 150 {of Figure 1} are connected together to form an assembled frame 200. Means 230, such as, for example, bolts, pins or screws, to ensure the attachment of said connecting means are also provided. Figure 3 {a } shows a plate of acoustic material 300 (sound absorbing material} also referred to as acoustic plate. Figure 3 {b} shows the back of an acoustic system, including such a plate mounted within a frame (for example made with the parts shown in Figure 1} as shown in Figure 2; and a (removably attachable) cover 310 covering said frame 200 and therein acoustic plate 300 at least on one side. First fasteners 320 for (removably) fastening said cover around said frame are shown. Figure 3 (c} shows different uses of such an acoustic system, eg as a free-standing partition wall (at any place}, wholly or partially suspended from the ceiling; or connected to a wall. Figure 4 {a} shows how a plate 420 of acoustic material {sound absorbing material} is embedded in a frame 200. Figure 4 {b} shows the front of an acoustic system, comprising such a plate 420 mounted in a frame 200 (e.g. made with the parts shown in Figure 1} as shown in Figure 2; and a {detachably attachable)
    -7- BE2019 / 5646 cover 410, covering said frame at least on one side.
    It is worth highlighting here the profile 411 of the cover material on the front.
    Front refers to the side of the system that faces the room or environment that requires sound absorption or enhancement, and therefore usually needs to be viewed by the audience user, as opposed to the rear of the system usually facing the wall. , and therefore not visible to the environment, for example.
    In one embodiment, the back is also viewed by the user or the audience and thus directed towards the room or environment whenever the acoustic system is to be used for sound absorption or acoustic enhancement, e.g. somewhere in the middle of the room. in this particular case, the acoustic system is called, for example, a stand-alone room division or room division system.
    In this particular embodiment, it is desirable to have the back of the acoustic system covered or lined with cover material in addition to the front, while both the back and front are viewed by the audience.
    Figure 6 illustrates a basic fixation method (with mounting on a support, whether maneuverable or not) for a self-contained {standalone} system, of which both the front and the back are viewed by the public.
    In one embodiment, the base fixation is designed such that the acoustic system can be rotatably or pivotably mounted on the base.
    As a result, the acoustic system mounted on the base with its sound absorbing surfaces (of the coated acoustic panels) can be rotated in different directions, to different parts or corners of the room or environment in which it is installed.
    And so, depending on the situation or application, the sound absorption in the room or environment can be adjusted with the positioning and the direction in which the acoustic panels are brought. A specific embodiment is given in Figure 6.1 illustrating a specific way of basic fixation, where the basis is for example a desk or office table, and therefore reference is also made to an office partition fixation method.
    According to one embodiment, a rail or sliding system can be provided here with the base or desk system to easily move or remove the acoustic system on the desk, e.g. sliding it to the
    “8. BE2019 / 5646 other side of the desk, depending on the needs of the people in the office. For example, in the case of making many phone calls, it may be desirable to have the acoustic system on the same desk between two people, while when collaborating on a project, it may be preferable to slide or slide the acoustic panel. , and to clear the space between the people.
    Figure 5 also illustrates systems as discussed above. The provision of fasteners to {detachably} attach said cover around said frame is shown, in particular with a view to ensuring that the profile remains properly aligned after fastening, in particular the provision of first fastening means (middle tilt) 510 distinguished from providing second fasteners (at the outer end) 520. Both said first and second fasteners are provided with some type of fastening material (such as, for example, Velcro) 530 indicated in black in Figure 5, or fastening, connecting or adhesive material and / or components.
    For the bars, preferably aluminum alloys {6005, 6060, 6061, 6063, 6463, 6063A, 5065, 6066, 6070, 6081, 6082, 6161, 6105, 6162, 6201, 6205, 6262, 6351, 6463, 6951, 7005 , 7055, 7075, 7175} and thus aluminum rods are used.
    For the bonding means or connectors, the following plastics, for injection (PE, PP, ABS, PA, PC, POM, PVC, PTFE}, and therefore plastic bonding means are preferably used. For the cover fabric, the following non-combustible materials are preferably used { cotton, polypropylene, glass fiber, polyester} is used.
    For the sound insulation material, the following materials are preferably used (rock wool, EVA, polyester wool, melamine foam)}. Figures 6 to 14 go into certain specific aspects with regard to particular implementations.
    “9. BE2019 / 5646 In particular, Figure 6 illustrates how the U-profile is used as part of a basic fixation approach, and Figure 6.1 shows a specific embodiment.
    Figure 7 deals with the aspect of torsion and one approach - reusing the same U-profile in combination with a specific connector {shown in detail in Figure 9} - to address this.
    Figure 7.1 deals with the same problem, but solves it in a different way.
    Figures 8 and 8.1 show further alternatives.
    Figures 10 and 11 further describe how to adapt the panels of sound absorbing material for use with the aforementioned approaches to material fixation.
    Figure 12 provides a further alternative in which a further cover is provided on top of the sound absorbing material.
    Figure 13 shows further details of a specific embodiment of the U-profile.
    Figure 14 shows more details on a further fixation approach.
    Figure 15 illustrates the method of securing the partition bar. When installing multiple acoustic systems, i.e. coated acoustic boards or panels, according to the invention, side by side, there is often a gap between them, which may appear disturbing to the viewer while looks like a dark connecting line.
    In addition, when positioning multiple systems on a wall, for example next to each other, alignment difficulties may arise due to the unevenness of the wall. Therefore, as an embodiment of the invention, it is proposed to optionally provide an additional accessory when mounting the device. acoustic system on a wall or ceiling.
    As shown in the embodiment of Figure 15, the additional accessory consists in providing one or more bars 240 in connection with the frame 200 of the acoustic system, and further these one or more bars must be connected to a bar (here standing). 250. Depending on the appearance, material and even certain functional characteristics of the beam (for example equipped with LED lighting), the view of the dark connection line can be adjusted and the view is manipulated to allow for a seamless connection of the adjacent panels. or to give the so-called connecting line either a soft tone or even light it up.
    For example, the beam can be made of wood, which gives the installation a very warm appearance.Instead of a single beam, it is also possible to consider zen matrix construction, which will result in all panels or acoustic systems mounted on it.
    -10- BE2019 / 5646 are at the same depth or level, even if the wall on which the acoustic systems are to be installed is completely uneven. Perfect positioning and alignment is hereby achieved.
    According to one embodiment, an extra (bar) piece can also be provided between the one or more bars 240 and the frame 200 itself, so that the distance from the frame 200 can be further adjusted.
