FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a raised bed comprising at least three, preferably at least four, upright, wherein the upright are arranged inclined to each other that they at least partially form a truncated pyramid shape extending along a vertical axis, with planar delimiting elements arranged on the upright and are attached, the planar delimitation elements, viewed along the vertical axis, at least in one area around the vertical axis, each delimiting a receiving space in the respective area, at least in sections, the respective receiving space being open at least in sections in the direction of the tip of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid shape is based, and the Posts and / or the planar delimiting elements are made from a metallic material, preferably from sheet steel, particularly preferably from stainless steel sheet.
STATE OF THE ART
Raised beds are beds or planters, which are mostly used for growing vegetables, herbs or flowers and are not laid out at ground level, but rise above the usual bed level.
Raised beds offer a number of advantages. The most obvious is the ergonomic way of gardening without having to bend over. In addition, raised beds can be used regardless of the subsoil - soils that are difficult to plant, such as sandy or loamy soils, are not a problem when using a raised bed. By decoupling from the subsurface, it is also easier in many cases to keep pests in check with raised beds. Another advantage is that when using a raised bed, no green space is necessary and, accordingly, planting on small areas such as balconies, terraces or backyards is possible.
Numerous shapes and designs of raised beds are known from the prior art.
From DE 102017011141 A1, for example, a raised bed is known in which several construction frames with increasingly smaller, hexagonal base are arranged vertically one above the other. As a result, an approximately pyramid shape is achieved, which ensures good exposure to sunlight as well as a comfortable working height and ergonomics. The next construction frame is only then placed on the construction frame that is to be located underneath when the latter is filled with soil. The construction of the raised bed is correspondingly tedious. Another disadvantage is the structural stability of the raised bed created in this way, e.g. against strong winds, which is essentially determined by the mass of the filled soil. The construction frames themselves are formed from solid segments, preferably made of wood, connected with perforated plates. The solidity is a further disadvantage with regard to the associated material costs and weight. The preferred construction from wood can also be described as disadvantageous with regard to durability.
NL 1024420 C2 relates to pyramid-shaped raised beds, but without specifying specific materials for the construction of the raised beds.
The AU 578616 B2 relates to a pyramid-shaped raised bed, with upright and boundary elements of the raised bed are obviously made of wood.
AU 5189279 A relates to a type of pyramid-shaped raised bed, with uprights and limiting elements of the raised bed are made of plastic.
KR 100837799 B1 discloses a type of pyramid-shaped raised bed, which has a frame made of metal with uprights.
From EP 1825745 A2 a kind of pyramid-shaped raised bed is known which has uprights made of wooden slats.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a raised bed which overcomes the disadvantages mentioned of the prior art. In particular, the raised bed according to the invention should ensure high stability in an operating state - preferably despite its low weight - and the raised bed should particularly preferably be durable, inexpensive and easy to manufacture and assemble.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
To achieve the stated object, it is in a raised bed comprising at least three, preferably at least four, uprights, the uprights are arranged inclined to each other that they at least partially form a truncated pyramid shape extending along a vertical axis, with the Two-dimensional delimitation elements are arranged and fastened upright, the planar delimitation elements, viewed along the vertical axis, at least in one area around the vertical axis each delimiting a receiving space in the respective area, at least in sections, the respective receiving space being open at least in sections in the direction of the tip of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid shape is based and wherein the uprights and / or the planar delimitation elements are made of a metallic material, preferably from sheet steel, particularly preferably from stainless steel sheet, according to the invention it is provided that the planar delimitation elements each eeil have at least one second folded portion which is arranged transversely to a longitudinal edge of the delimiting element.
The posts usually define the corners of the base of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid shape is based, each post defining a corner and forming an edge of the truncated pyramid shape. For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that the truncated pyramid shape can alternatively or additionally also be defined in such a way that the posts or certain posts each lie in a side surface, in particular in the area of the center of the respective side surface, of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid shape is based, and normally on one side the base of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid is based.
That is, the base of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid shape is based is a polygon with at least three corners, preferably at least four corners. The number of corners is preferably equal to the number of posts and the posts are arranged in the corners. The base can also have 5, 6 or 8 or more corners, for example. The base does not have to, but can of course have several sides of the same length. For example, a base with four corners can be a rectangle (each with two sides of equal length) or a square (with four sides of equal length).
The uprights preferably extend in a straight line along their longitudinal axes.
It is not excluded that the mutually inclined uprights touch each other with their ends in order to form a complete pyramid shape with a point. Even if the shape of a pointed pyramid is actually formed, this shape inevitably comprises frusto-pyramidal sections.
The delimitation elements represent a lateral delimitation of the respective receiving space, the receiving space being arranged in the respective area around the vertical axis. That means "area" refers here to an area that extends along the vertical axis. Several receiving spaces (arranged one behind the other as seen along the vertical axis) arise or are delimited by the delimitation elements in that the delimitation elements are arranged at least in sections around the vertical axis in several areas (arranged one behind the other as seen along the vertical axis).
“Around the vertical axis” is to be understood as meaning that the respective recording space basically covers the full angular range of 360 ° around the vertical axis. This means that there is exactly one recording space surrounding the vertical axis in this area for each area on the vertical axis. However, this does not have to be laterally bounded by the delimiting elements in the entire angular range of 360 ° around the vertical axis, since the delimiting elements delimit the respective receiving space “at least in sections”. That is, the delimitation elements can also laterally delimit the receiving space over only one or more angular ranges, for example over a continuous angular range of 270 ° or in two opposing angular ranges of 90 ° each. Of course, however, it is also possible for the delimitation elements to laterally delimit the entire receiving area or the receiving area in the entire angular range. Typically, at least one receiving space is provided with a floor or a base plate, so that in an operating state of the raised bed, i.e. when the raised bed is set up for intended use, the receiving space can be filled with bulk material. Here and in the following, the base or base plate is to be understood as meaning that the base or base plate can be constructed in one piece or in several parts in order to completely delimit the entire receiving space in a direction that corresponds to the direction of gravity in the operating state.
But it is also possible that no receiving space has a bottom and therefore the bottom of the lowest receiving space is formed by the ground on which the raised bed is placed in the operating state, which in turn enables filling with bulk material. Bulk material that is emptied into an upper receiving space without a bottom is moved by gravity into at least one receiving space below until the receiving space immediately below is so full that further introduced bulk material no longer escapes through the open bottom of the upper receiving space can.
By filling the at least one receiving space with soil, at least one terrace that can be planted can be formed. A plurality of terraces arranged on one above the other can preferably be formed.
Since the at least one receiving space in the direction of the tip of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid is based is at least partially open, it is ensured that the at least one receiving space is open in the operating state "upwards" or against the direction of gravity, so that bulk material or earth can be poured / transported into the receiving room. In this case, the bulk material can get directly into the entire area of the respective receiving space between the delimiting elements, that is to say also into the “middle” or the center of the receiving space. Subsequently, due to the upwardly open section (s) of the receiving space, planting can be carried out by a user without any problems.
A receiving space that is completely open at the top is typically the topmost receiving room or the receiving room on the top floor. Accommodation spaces on the floors below are usually covered in sections by delimitation elements and, if necessary, a base plate for the accommodation space on the floor immediately above.
Further examples of the metallic material would be: galvanized sheet metal, galvanized sheet steel.
Overall, the result is that the raised bed has sufficiently large, ergonomic cultivation areas due to its geometry and, at the same time, due to the choice of material, high stability and durability, in particular insensitivity to environmental influences, can be guaranteed. The choice of material also allows the uprights or the delimitation elements to be dimensioned with low thicknesses, which in turn saves material, weight and costs.
As I said, the raised bed according to the invention can have several superimposed receiving rooms or terraces in order to enlarge the area that can be planted without requiring more space for the raised bed at its installation site, while at the same time ensuring good ergonomics for the user. Correspondingly, in a preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention, a plurality of receiving spaces arranged one behind the other are provided as seen along the vertical axis, with the flat delimiting elements in a plurality of areas arranged one behind the other around the vertical axis each having at least one of the receiving spaces in the respective area, viewed along the vertical axis limit.
In a preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention it is provided that a base plate is provided for at least one receiving space. In particular, if the lowermost receiving space has a base plate, it can be avoided that in the operating state bulk material gets onto the ground on which the raised bed is placed and contaminates it.
If several receiving spaces are each provided with a base plate, these receiving spaces can theoretically be filled with different bulk material, for example with different special soils for different plants. For example, it would be conceivable to provide a special soil for heather and bog plants in a receiving room with a base plate and a special soil for cacti in another receiving room with a base plate.
A base plate is preferably provided for each receiving space.
In a preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention it is provided that the planar delimiting elements are inclined away from the vertical axis in the direction of the tip of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid shape is based, the planar delimiting elements and the vertical axis each having an acute angle in a range of 30 ° to 80 °, preferably in a range from 40 ° to 60 °, particularly preferably in a range from 45 ° to 55 °, with one another. It should be noted that the angle does not have to have the same value for all delimiting elements.
On the one hand, this choice of angle, which in the operating state of the raised bed causes an upwardly opening geometry of the receiving spaces, ensures particularly good accessibility to the receiving spaces or terraces, which facilitates planting.
On the other hand, by choosing the angle between the limiting elements and the vertical axis - provided the height (extension of the limiting element parallel to the vertical axis) of the limiting element remains unchanged - the size of the at least one receiving space can be controlled. The smaller the angle is selected, the smaller the receiving space becomes - with a constant height of the delimiting element - and the less bulk material is generally present in the receiving space in the operating state. If the angle is chosen larger, then the receiving space also increases and the receiving space can have more bulk material in the operating state.
The angle between the delimiting elements and the vertical axis also has a certain influence on the stability of the raised bed according to the invention, since the smaller the angle selected, the smaller and more stable the raised bed, with constant dimensions of the boundary elements. That is, the angle between the delimitation elements and the vertical axis can be selected with regard to accessibility and depending on the desired size of the receiving space and depending on the desired stability, the angle ranges mentioned delivering particularly good results.
In principle, different arrangements of the delimitation elements on the uprights are possible. In a preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention, it is provided that the flat delimiting elements are arranged at least in sections, preferably completely, within the truncated pyramid shape formed by the uprights. A particularly compact and stable embodiment can be realized in this way.
This geometry can be implemented in particular in that the delimitation elements are arranged between the uprights. The uprights preferably form the edges of the truncated pyramid shape.
In a preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention it is provided that the flat delimiting elements are arranged at least in sections, preferably completely, outside the truncated pyramid shape formed by the uprights. That is, the delimitation elements protrude at least in sections, preferably completely, from the uprights to the outside. In this way, for example, if there is only a limited stable contact area (e.g. one or only a few exposed aggregate concrete slabs on an otherwise soft surface), a raised bed can be created for the upright that protrudes over the stable contact area and thus a comparatively larger space for planting is available can put.
This geometry can be implemented in particular in that the delimitation elements are arranged so as to protrude from the uprights. The uprights are preferably located in the side surfaces of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid shape is based.
In a preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention it is provided that the planar delimiting elements that delimit the receiving space or one of the receiving spaces at least in sections, are connected to one another, preferably detachably, in order to each form a receiving space delimiting unit at least in sections.
It should be noted that the receiving space delimitation unit can also comprise other elements, in particular a floor plate and / or floor struts for reinforcement in the floor area.
In the case of a detachable connection, e.g. a screw connection and / or a form-fitting plug connection, the receiving space delimitation unit can be manufactured and constructed from individual parts particularly easily and inexpensively. In addition, the raised bed can also be dismantled again, which is particularly favorable in particular for transport or for storage - both for a private user and for a business person, in particular a dealer.
It would be conceivable that the receiving space delimitation unit is at least partially prefabricated in that the associated flat delimiting elements are not releasably connected to one another, for example by riveting or welding. This can also already represent a considerable simplification of the production and the construction of the entire raised bed, since essentially only the at least one receiving space delimitation unit has to be connected to the uprights in order to finish assembling the raised bed. Furthermore, a separation of uprights and the at least one accommodation space delimitation unit already facilitates the transport and storage of the raised bed significantly.
“Connect” is always to be understood as meaning both a direct connection and an indirect connection, for example with the interposition or interposition of a connecting bracket or another connecting component.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention it is provided that the at least one receiving space delimiting unit comprises at least one base plate and / or at least one base strut. Through the base plate, the receiving space of the receiving space delimitation unit can be filled with bulk material in the operating state without affecting another receiving space during filling. The stability of the receiving space delimitation unit is further increased by one or more bottom struts, which has a positive effect especially when the receiving space of the receiving space delimiting unit is large, especially if such a receiving space or its volume is completely filled with bulk material.
In principle, a permanent connection between the delimitation elements and the base plate or the at least one base strut is conceivable. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention, it is provided that the at least one base plate and / or the at least one base strut are detachably connected to the flat delimiting elements of the receiving space delimiting unit. This is particularly advantageous for transport and storage if the receiving space delimitation unit can be dismantled into its individual parts.
In a preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention it is provided that the posts for releasable connection with the delimiting elements and / or at least one receiving space delimiting unit each have at least one, preferably laterally protruding, receptacle.
The flat delimiting elements are preferably screwed to the uprights in the area of the receptacles.
The lateral protrusion of the recordings favors a certain form fit between the uprights and the receiving space delimitation unit or the delimitation elements. "Laterally" is related to a longitudinal axis of the upright. In other words, the receptacles can protrude in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the upright.
The recordings favor the detachable connection. The receptacles for the detachable connection each include, for example, a hole for a screw connection. A specific shape of the receptacles for a form fit with the receptacle space delimitation unit, in particular with its delimitation elements, would also be possible.
If the connection is not detachable, one would in principle not need a receptacle, since then, for example, the uprights can simply be welded to the receptacle space delimitation unit. However, even in the case of a permanent connection, a receptacle can be provided, e.g. a receptacle with a hole, for riveting.
In the case of several accommodation spaces or accommodation space delimitation units arranged one above the other, several recordings are arranged one above the other on the uprights - or one behind the other along the longitudinal axis of the upright.
In a preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention it is provided that at least one of the posts, preferably all posts, each comprises at least two, preferably exactly two, longitudinal struts releasably connected to one another. The longitudinal struts extend mainly along the longitudinal axis of the respective upright. The longitudinal struts can be manufactured in large numbers very inexpensively, which further lowers the costs for the raised bed according to the invention. In addition, when dismantled, the uprights can be arranged in a particularly space-saving manner with separated longitudinal struts, which in turn simplifies transport and storage.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention it is provided that the longitudinal struts of the respective upright are designed essentially symmetrically with respect to a plane running through a longitudinal axis of the respective upright. The symmetrical design or arrangement favors the arrangement of the respective upright in the area of a corner of the polygonal base area of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid shape is based or in the area of an edge of the truncated pyramid shape. In particular, the connection of the upright with delimiting elements on opposite sides of the upright is structurally simplified.
By joining the longitudinal struts, a very stable post can be created, and at the same time each longitudinal strut can be dimensioned with a low material thickness. Accordingly, it is provided in a particularly preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention that the longitudinal struts each have a thickness in a range from 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm, preferably in a range from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm. According to what has been said above in connection with the uprights, the struts are preferably made from a metallic material, preferably from sheet steel, particularly preferably from stainless steel sheet.
In a preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention it is provided that the flat delimiting elements each have at least one reinforcing element. The at least one reinforcement element serves to reinforce the respective delimitation element. That is to say, the at least one reinforcement element increases the durability, the shape and the stability of the respective flat delimiting element without the delimiting element itself having to be dimensioned larger.
For example, the at least one reinforcing element can be incorporated into the respective delimiting element by punching, reshaping or deep drawing.
The reinforcement element can have various shapes, angles of inclination and lengths. A fold as a reinforcement element would be conceivable, for example. Furthermore, the reinforcement element can be designed, for example, in the form of a grid or a hose. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention, it is provided that the at least one reinforcing element is designed as a strut.
It would be conceivable that the at least one strut is incorporated into the planar delimiting element - i.e. that the strut is part of the planar delimiting element. The at least one strut preferably runs diagonally or transversely to a longitudinal extent of the delimiting element and serves primarily to absorb and dissipate tensile and compressive forces and thereby strengthen the delimiting element.
Of course, it is not excluded that the raised bed according to the invention has a plurality of reinforcing elements that are designed differently. That is to say, for example, one reinforcement element could be designed in the form of a grid and another reinforcement element in the form of a strut.
In a preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention it is provided that the flat delimiting elements each have a thickness in a range from 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm, preferably in a range from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm . This means in particular that all metal elements with a relatively small thickness can be used, which saves costs and weight and is advantageous for transport and for setting up the raised bed on floors with limited load-bearing capacity.
In particular if one or more reinforcing elements are provided, the thickness of the delimiting elements can be kept particularly small.
In a preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention it is provided that the flat delimiting elements each have at least one first fold section which is arranged along a longitudinal edge of the delimiting element.
The longitudinal edge is an edge of the delimiting element which is arranged along the longitudinal extent of the delimiting element. Typically, the delimitation element comprises two longitudinal edges running parallel to one another and can accordingly have two first fold sections.
The at least one first fold section increases the rigidity of the delimiting element. The stiffness can be specifically influenced by the width of the first folded section, i.e. the wider the first folded section, the higher the stiffness.
Furthermore, the first fold section offers a convenient way of attaching the delimiting element to the uprights. For example, at least one hole can be provided in the at least one first rebate section in order to be able to make a screw connection with one of the uprights, in particular with a receptacle. Here, by suitable choice of the shape of the first folded section connected to the upright - in particular the angle at which the first folded section connected to the upright protrudes from the rest of the delimiting element - that angle can be set that is enclosed by the delimiting element with the vertical axis.
In order to enable a simple and secure connection of two adjacent delimiting elements, as already mentioned, the raised bed according to the invention provides that the flat delimiting elements each have at least one second folded portion which is arranged transversely to a longitudinal edge of the delimiting element.
Typically, the respective delimitation element comprises two edges running parallel to one another, which in turn each run transversely to the at least one longitudinal edge. Correspondingly, the respective delimiting element can have two second fold sections.
It should be noted that, of course, the at least one second fold section also increases the rigidity of the delimiting element, with wider second fold sections resulting in greater rigidity.
In principle, however, the second folded section serves to connect two delimiting elements to one another. The second rebate sections preferably each have one or more holes in order to enable a screw connection with a second rebate section of another adjoining delimiting element. As already mentioned, the screw connection can also take place with the interposition of a further element, e.g. a connecting bracket.
In addition, the second folded sections can also be used to connect the delimitation elements to the uprights, in particular to their receptacles. Again, for this purpose, holes can be provided in the second rebate sections for screwing.
Furthermore, it is also conceivable that the second folded sections are shaped at least in one end area so that they contribute to stabilizing the angle that is enclosed by the delimiting element with the vertical axis, for example by creating a corresponding form fit between the second folded section and the Recording is made.
In order to structure the respective receiving space more strongly, it is provided in a preferred embodiment of the raised bed according to the invention that at least one separating element is provided, which is arranged in at least one receiving space and, viewed in a direction of rotation around the vertical axis, between two successive sections of the receiving space is arranged to separate them from each other. Of course, several separating elements can also be provided in one and the same receiving space, so that this receiving space is divided into more than two sections. Furthermore, at least one separating element can be provided in several, preferably in all, receiving spaces.
The stronger structuring can, for example, facilitate the planting of different types of plants in different, separate sections of the same receiving space. Correspondingly, the separation of the section of the receiving space achieved by means of the at least one separating element does not have to be “perfect” or complete, but merely in such a way that the user can easily perceive the different sections. That is, a section-wise separation of the successive sections of the receiving space in the direction of rotation is sufficient.
It should be emphasized that the at least one separating element basically enables almost any dimensioning of the sections, in particular their width. In interaction with the delimiting elements, which can also be dimensioned in almost any way, in particular in terms of width and height, there are practically an infinite number of design options, the dimensioning of the separating elements being able to be matched to the dimensioning of the delimiting elements, in particular to their height. It should also be noted that the dimensioning, in particular with regard to the height of the delimiting elements or the separating elements, does not have to be the same for all receiving spaces, but can be different, in particular different from receiving space to receiving space.
In addition to the structuring, the at least one separating element can also contribute to the mechanical stability of the raised bed according to the invention. For this purpose, the at least one separating element can be connected, for example, to several delimiting elements (for example via screw connections), in particular to delimiting elements of different receiving spaces, which follow one another as seen along the vertical axis.
Finally, the at least one separating element opens up the possibility of making the raised bed optically more attractive or more individual by means of different geometric designs.

Fig. 14 is an axonometric view of a dividing element , which is geometrically designed differently than the separating elements from FIG. 13
WAYS OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
In the side view of FIG. 1, a first embodiment of a raised bed 1 according to the invention is shown, the raised bed 1 being shown in an operating state. That is, the raised bed 1 is shown as it is set up for its intended use on a substrate, with a vertical axis 4 of the raised bed 1 running essentially parallel to the direction of gravity and a first direction 16 being oriented parallel to the vertical axis 4 and against the direction of gravity.
The raised bed 1 has four uprights 2 which extend essentially in a straight line along their longitudinal axes 11. The uprights 2 are inclined towards the vertical axis 4 and to one another in such a way that they form a truncated pyramid shape extending along the vertical axis 4, the first direction 16 corresponding to the direction towards the tip of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid shape is based.
The uprights 2 define the corners of the base of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid shape is based, as well as edges of the truncated pyramid shape. The base of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid shape is based is a rectangle in the first exemplary embodiment.
Flat delimiting elements 3, which are plate-shaped in the exemplary embodiments shown, are arranged between the uprights 2.
In the first two exemplary embodiments (FIGS. 1 to 8), the planar delimiting elements 3 are arranged completely within the truncated pyramid shape formed by the uprights 2.
The planar delimiting elements 3 each enclose an acute angle α with the vertical axis 4, which in the exemplary embodiments shown is in the range from 45 ° to 55 °. The flat delimiting elements 3 are inclined away from the vertical axis 4 in the first direction 16.
In the first two exemplary embodiments, the flat delimiting elements 3 delimit a receiving space 6 in the respective area at least in five consecutively arranged areas around the vertical axis 4 along the vertical axis 4 or viewed in the first direction 16. In other words, a receiving space 6 is provided on at least five floors lying one above the other.
In the exemplary embodiments shown, the delimiting elements 6 delimit the receiving spaces 6 laterally around the vertical axis 4 over the full angular range of 360 °.
In the illustrated first exemplary embodiment, apart from the uppermost receiving space 6, all of the receiving spaces 6 are closed off against the first direction 16 with a base plate 5, see FIG. 2.
In the first direction 16 or upwards, all of the receiving spaces 6 are open at least in sections, so that bulk material or earth can be poured / conveyed into the respective receiving space 6. The uppermost receiving space 6 is completely open at the top. When bulk material is emptied into the uppermost receiving space 6, it passes through the open floor into the receiving space 6 below.
The receiving spaces 6 located below are each partially covered at the top by the receiving space 6 located above, more precisely by the associated delimiting elements 3 and, if necessary, by the associated base plate 5. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the receiving spaces 6 overlap in sections, so that delimiting elements 3 of an upper receiving space 6 are arranged in sections and, if applicable, the base plate 5 of an upper receiving space 6 entirely in the receiving space 6 below.
In all of the illustrated exemplary embodiments, the uprights 2 and the planar delimiting elements 3 are made from stainless steel sheet, with the stainless steel sheet being able to be kept relatively thin.
The flat delimiting elements 3 have reinforcing elements 12 which, in the exemplary embodiments shown, are designed as struts. Depending on the size of the delimitation element 3, two or more reinforcement elements 12 are provided per delimitation element 3, which run in a straight line and transversely over the respective delimitation element 3, with adjacent reinforcement elements 12 running transversely to one another. The reinforcement elements 12 bring about increased stability in spite of the small thickness of the planar delimiting elements 3, the thickness of the planar delimiting elements 3 in the illustrated exemplary embodiments being approximately 1 mm.
In the exemplary embodiments shown, the planar delimiting elements 3, which each delimit one of the receiving spaces 6, are detachably connected to one another by screw connections 15 in order to each form a receiving space delimiting unit 7, at least in sections, see FIG. 4. The screw connections 15 are in the area of second folded sections 13b at the edges of the planar delimiting elements 3, see in particular FIGS. 4 and 5 Connection angles (not shown) can be provided for the intermediate position between the delimiting elements 3 to be screwed or the second rebate sections 13b.
Due to the elongated rectangular shape of the base of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid shape is drawn in the first exemplary embodiment, additional bottom struts 8 are provided in the bottom area of the receiving space delimitation units 7, which are also screwed to the delimiting elements 3 - and thus releasably connected.
Said floor struts 8 can also be seen in FIG. 3, where, for reasons of clarity, no floor panels 5, which can also belong to the receiving space delimiting units 7, are shown. From the illustration in FIG. 3 and even better from FIG. 5, which shows an enlarged view of the detail B from FIG Recordings 9 of the upright 2 are releasably connected. The delimitation elements 3 of the respective accommodation space delimitation unit 7 are screwed to the uprights 2. More precisely, the delimitation elements 3 for the screw connection with the uprights 2 or receptacles 9 have first folded sections 13a, which run along the longitudinal edges of the delimitation elements 3 and increase the stability of the respective delimitation element 3. The first folded portions 13a correspondingly have holes for screwing.
In addition, the second rebate sections 13b can optionally also be screwed to the uprights 2 or the receptacles 9.
The first folded section 13a of the respective delimiting element 3, which is screwed to the respective upright 2, protrudes at a suitable angle from the rest of the delimiting element 3, so that the acute angle α is set.
The receptacles 9 protrude laterally from the uprights 2 and have holes for the screw connections 15.
The protruding geometry not only creates good accessibility and enough space for the screw connections 15, but also creates a certain form fit between the posts 2 and the receiving space delimiting units 7 or delimiting elements 3. This form fit can be optimized by appropriate shaping of the first folded sections 13a and possibly also the second folded sections 13b.
In the exemplary embodiments shown, the uprights 2 themselves each comprise two longitudinal struts 10 which are screwed together and thus releasably connected, cf. 2 extending plane is formed and arranged essentially symmetrically.
In order to allow the uprights 2 to stand up flat on the ground and thus a good weight distribution of the raised bed 1 on the ground, the uprights 2 also each have a base plate 14 which is also screwed to the two longitudinal struts 10 of the respective upright 2 .
In the illustrated embodiments, the longitudinal struts 10 are made of stainless steel sheet and have a thickness of only about 1 mm. The connection of two longitudinal struts 10 in each case results in extremely stable posts 2 despite the small thickness of the individual longitudinal struts 10.
7 and 8 show a second embodiment of the raised bed 1 according to the invention, which differs from the first embodiment essentially only in the following two points: 1. The base of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid shape is based is a square. 2. Along the vertical axis 4, not five, but eight floors or accommodation rooms 6 and corresponding accommodation space delimitation units 7 are provided. Otherwise, what has been said about the first exemplary embodiment applies and reference is therefore made to the above statements in this context.
9 shows a third embodiment of the raised bed 1 according to the invention. The base of the pyramid on which the truncated pyramid shape is based is a square, the uprights 2 forming the edges of the truncated pyramid shape. Along the vertical axis 4, five floors or accommodation spaces 6 are provided, each of which is laterally delimited over the full circumference by four delimitation elements 3.
In contrast to the first two exemplary embodiments, the delimiting elements 3 are not arranged between the uprights 2, but rather protruding outwardly on them. The delimitation elements 3 are arranged completely outside the truncated pyramid shape formed by the uprights 2.
The delimitation elements 3 are screwed to the uprights 2 or receptacles 9 via their first folded sections 13a, more precisely in end areas of the first folded sections 13a or in end areas of longitudinal edges of the delimitation elements 3.
Four delimitation elements 3 are screwed to one another via their second rebate sections 13b and thus form a receiving space delimiting unit 7 (without base plate 5 or base strut 8).
No, one or more floor panels 5 can also be provided in the third embodiment, it being possible for the floor panels 5 in particular to be screwed to the uprights 2. Bottom plates 5 are in any case not shown in FIG. 9 for reasons of clarity.
The fourth embodiment of the raised bed 1 according to the invention shown in FIG. 10 differs from the third embodiment shown in FIG Truncated pyramid shape underlying pyramid are arranged.
Correspondingly, the uprights 2 are not screwed to the latter in the end areas of the first rebate sections 13a, but in the area in the middle between the end areas. This becomes particularly clear in the sectional view of FIG. 12, which shows a section along the section line C-C in the side view of FIG. 11 and in which the receptacles 9 can also be clearly seen.
The fifth embodiment of the raised bed 1 according to the invention shown in FIG. 13 differs from the embodiments shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 in that separating elements 17 are provided, with no posts 2 being shown in FIG. 13 for reasons of clarity . In the first four receiving spaces 6, seen in the first direction 16, four separating elements 17 are provided, each of these separating elements 17, viewed in a direction of rotation around the vertical axis 4, being arranged between two successive sections 18 of the respective receiving space 6, around these sections 18 from one another to separate.
For fastening, the separating elements 17 are screwed to the second rebate sections 13b of delimiting elements 3, which belong to receiving spaces 6 that are consecutive along the vertical axis 4 or viewed in the first direction 16. Correspondingly, the separating elements 17 are arranged in corner regions of the respective receiving space 6. It should be emphasized, however, that the separating elements 17 can in principle be arranged as desired in order to dimension the sections 18 as desired.
In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 13, the separating elements 17 are geometrically designed in such a way that they protrude outwardly and with a directional component parallel to the first direction 16 over the delimiting elements 3. This makes the subdivision of the receiving space 6 into the sections 18 immediately recognizable for the user, even if the respective receiving space 6 is filled with earth up to the upper edge of the associated delimiting elements 3.
Furthermore, in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 13, the separating elements 17 are geometrically designed in such a way that they separate the sections 18 from one another inwardly and with a directional component that is antiparallel to the first direction 16 and not completely flush with the delimiting elements 3. That is to say, the separating elements 17 are designed in such a way that there is an open transition 19 between two successive sections 18 in the area of the floor of the respective receiving space 6. The open transitions 19 enable an exchange of moisture between the sections 18. Furthermore, the open transitions 19 make it possible for roots of plants to expand to a certain extent from the edge area of a section 18 to the edge area of the adjoining section 18.
In the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 13, those sections of the separating elements 17 which protrude beyond the delimiting elements 3 are designed to be round, which ensures an attractive appearance. It should be noted, however, that the separating elements 17 can of course be designed as desired in order to generate a look that is particularly appealing and customizable for the user. For an exemplary illustration, FIG. 14 shows a separating element 17 in which that section which protrudes beyond the delimiting elements 3 is of angular design.
