DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(6) FIG. 1A shows an embodiment of a work and recreation space module 1 in a perspective view from a first, front end face. The work and recreation space module 1 has an inner element 2 having at least one seat 3, here four seats 3, which in the present example are arranged on opposite sides of a table 4. The inner element 2 has a rolling device 5 for rolling the inner element 2 into different positions in a work environment. Furthermore, in the embodiment shown, the inner element 2 has two side walls 6A and 6B, and a roof wall 7 connecting the side walls 6A, 6B and a bottom 8 connecting the side walls 6A, 6B. The walls 6A, 6B, 7 and the bottom 8 delimit an inner space 9 of the inner element 2.

(7) The work and recreation space module 1 also has an outer element 10, which has two side walls 11A and 11B, and a roof wall 12 connecting the side walls 11A and 11B. The walls 11A, 11B, 12 delimit an inner space 13 of the outer element 10. In the present case, the inner element 2 can be completely received in the inner space 13 of the outer element.

(8) A mechanical coupling device 14 is arranged between the inner element 2 and the outer element 10, for example, between the respective roof walls 7 and 12, with which mechanical coupling device 14 the inner element 2 and the outer element 10 can be coupled to one another. With the inner element 2, the outer element 10 can thus also be rolled into different positions in the work environment by the rolling device 5.

(9) In FIG. 1B, the work and recreation space module 1 from FIG. 1A is shown from a second, rear end face. The end face shown is separated from an environment of the outer element 10 by two hinged wall elements 15A, 15B. In the example shown, the side wall 11B is equipped with a productive device 16, as is also possible for the side wall 11A or the side walls 6A or 6B of the inner element, which productive device 16, as shown in FIG. 1C, comprises a fold-out monitor production device.

(10) The hydraulic and/or electrical lifting device of the inner element (2) is depicted as (19) in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B.

(11) In FIG. 1C, the work and recreation space module 1 is shown with an inner element 2 pulled out of the inner space 13 of the outer element 10. The inner element 2 is arranged with its end face on a corresponding end face of the outer element 10. Furthermore, the hinged wall elements 15A, 15B are unfolded, that is, in the example shown at an angle of 90? to the associated end face, so that they run parallel to the side wall 11A or 11B of the outer element 10. This separates a particularly large part of the work environment from the rest of the work environment. In the example shown, this is supported by a further wall 17, which can be, for example, the wall of an infrastructure of the production or presentation environment, or also a flexible, for example, suspendable, further wall 17. Alternatively or additionally, a roller blind element can be provided here and in other embodiments, which roller blind element is attached to the outer element 10, preferably to the roof wall 12. The roller blind element is designed to form a cover for the space between the two hinged wall elements 15A, 15B along which the hinged wall elements 15A, 15B, which are set out at a 90? angle, are extended. Particularly, the roller blind element is also designed to be pulled vertically downwards at the end of the two hinged wall elements 15A, 15B remote from the outer element 10 instead of the further wall 17 that can be suspended, in order to take the place of the further wall 17 that can be suspended.

(12) In the present example, the dimensions of the hinged wall elements 15A, 15B correspond to the dimensions of the outer element 10, so that in each case one hinged wall element 15A, 15B can already cover the entire end face of the outer element 10 in order to separate the inner space 13 of the outer element 10 from the respective environment. The hinged wall elements 15A, 15B in the present case also have corresponding privacy and/or sound protection devices 18A, 18B, which are half-closed in the example shown. For example, fastening devices for further productive devices, for example, for corresponding whiteboard devices or screen devices, are located on the outer sides, that is, the sides of the hinged wall elements 15A, 15B facing the environment 100 of the work and recreation space module 1. Correspondingly, as shown here by way of example for the one outer side of the side wall 11B of the outer element 10, a productive device 16, in this case a computer workstation as a monitor productive device 16, is arranged on said side wall 11B. This is fastened to the side wall 11B using a uniform productive device fastening interface (not shown), so that the productive device 16 shown can be replaced by other productive devices with little effort in a modular manner.

(13) In FIGS. 2A-2D, respective schematic representations of configurations of the work and recreation space module 1 are shown schematically in a top view.

(14) In FIG. 2A, the configuration having the smallest space requirement is shown, which corresponds to the schematic view of FIGS. 1A and 1B. The top view of FIG. 2B here corresponds to the schematic illustration of FIG. 1C. FIGS. 2C and 2D illustrate further exemplary construction variants which demonstrate the variety of possible uses. In FIG. 2B, as in FIG. 1C, the inner module 2 is arranged with its end face on one end face of the outer module 10 and the two hinged wall elements 15A, 15B are folded out by 90?. The hinged wall elements 15A, 15B are arranged here and in the other examples on the end face of the outer element 10, on which the inner element 2 is not arranged. In FIG. 2C, the hinged wall elements are unfolded by 180?, in FIG. 2D by 135?. The hinged wall elements 15A, 15B can be locked in the position shown in each case.

(15) In FIGS. 3A to 3D, exemplary usage variants are shown schematically in a top view.

(16) In FIG. 3A, the outer element 10 is thus equipped with respective productive devices 16, 16 on both side walls 11A, 11B. The productive device 16 can be, for example, the workstation, also shown in FIG. 1C, at which a single person 20 works. The further productive device 16 can be, for example, a folding table productive device at which a plurality of people 20 discuss something or simply only drink coffee together. A presentation is currently carried out in the inner space 13 of the outer element 10, while in the inner space 9 of the inner element 2, four people 20 are in turn having a discussion. Furthermore, an outer side of a side wall 6A, which is also provided with a productive device 16 such as a whiteboard productive device, is used by further people 20 for a small brainstorming session. The two hinged wall elements 15, 15A are locked in the present case at different angles, namely once at 90? and once at 180?. The interaction with drawn, acoustically damping curtains on the end face of the inner element 2 facing the productive device 16 and the hinged wall element 15B opened by 180? results in a relatively quiet work niche on the productive device 16 in the present configuration.

(17) A variation of the usage variant of FIG. 3A is shown in FIG. 3B, in which the inner element 2 is arranged with its end face on the hinged wall element 15A opened by 90? with unchanged outer element 10 and unchanged hinged wall elements 15A, 15B. This results in a quiet consultation niche in the inner space 9 of the inner element 2. At the same time, in the example shown, an inside of the hinged wall element 15B is used for a presentation, for example, with a whiteboard productive device 16, which is suspended on the inner side of the hinged wall element 15B.

(18) In FIG. 3C, a further usage variant is shown in which one hinged wall element 15A is opened by 45?, and the other hinged wall element 15B by 135?. The inner element 2 is arranged with its end face at right angles to the hinged wall element 15B at the end of the hinged wall element 15B folded by 135?. In this way, a region is separated from the work environment 100, which due to the fact that the outer element 10 can be walked through, for example, can be used for access control as part of a hygiene concept. At the same time, people 20 carry out further productive work here on an outer side 6A of the inner element 2.

(19) FIG. 3D shows the usage variant again as it corresponds to FIG. 2A or 1A and 1B, namely the work and recreation space module 1 in the configuration having the smallest possible space requirement. It can still be used in qualitatively different ways, in the present case by people 20 in the inner space 9 of the inner element 2, and at the same time by a person 20 who uses a productive device 26 on an outer side 11 of a side wall 11B of the outer element 10.
