The present invention relates to interior decoration, especially the present invention relates to the interior decoration element or to the piece of furniture, advantageously to an interior maintaining solution and/or fastening solution to a media hardware configuration comprising one or more media devices selected from a group comprising a CD/DVD/Blue-Ray player, a media recorder, a satellite/cable/aerial broadcasting receiver, a home theater unit, a television, a display terminal, a display cloth or element for a multimedia projector or a slide projector etc. in other words a multimedia rack.

The big size and the difficult design of the traditional technologies have previously forced to the customized solutions (inserting into structures, storage cabinets, etc.). Development of technology (for example LED) has made possible to design multimedia devices thinner and more flat-shaped and also lighter.

However, the flap-shape and lighter implementation do not remove weaknesses, as such. So several fastening and esthetic problems are related to existing solutions. An interior and technical and mechanical problem has arisen when the size and mass of the media device (for example the televisions and table televisions) have grown disturbingly big the mass restricts the placing (for example wall made of plasterboard). While the media devices haves been begun to install on walls, the growing number of the necessary utensils (for example cables) has also turned to be a problem. In context of the present invention, the definition media equipment or configuration refers to a configuration which consists of one media device or several media devices selected from the group, without limiting to a CD/DVD/Blue-Ray player, a media recorder, a satellite/cable/aerial broadcasting receiver, a computer, an amplifier system, a home theater unit, a television, a display terminal, a display cloth or an element for a multimedia projector or a slide projector, and any combinations of the same. The object of the present invention is to remove or at least essentially to reduce the drawbacks and problems of the prior art and to achieve a new and inventive interior decoration element or piece of furniture, which invention solves the problems that are related to the fastening and to the esthetic aspects of the media equipment.

These objects have been achieved by the interior element or by the piece of furniture mentioned in the beginning, general special features of which have been identified in the characterizing part of the enclosed independent claim. Other special features, which are characteristic to the invention, have been defined in the depending claims.

Thus in general, an interior element or interior piece of furniture, advantageously an interior maintaining solution and/or fastening solution, is provided for a media hardware configuration, which comprises one or several media equipment, which is selected from a group, which includes a CD/DVD/Blue-Ray player, a media recorder, a

satellite/cable/aerial broadcasting receiver, a computer, an amplifier system, a home theater unit, a television, a display terminal, a display cloth or an element for a multimedia projector or a slide projector, and any combinations of the same, which interior element or interior piece of furniture comprises a body unit that carries the mass of the whole media hardware configuration and which makes the mounting of the media hardware configuration possible. Then the interior element or the interior piece of furniture which is in accordance with the invention will make possible to merge a media equipment (such as for example a table television) as part of interior decoration wholeness. The structure of a body unit makes possible a sturdy and easy fastening to different materials, because the body unit distributes its own mass with the total mass of the media equipment to a wide area, such that the media equipment mounted in the rack structure, which is composed directly of the body unit, according to the most general standards.

One can state about the advantages of the invention generally that a productional effectiveness can be achieved, that use of the interior decoration element or of the interior piece of furniture for the media hardware configuration is easy and simple, that moving of the door panels, which are included in the interior decoration element or in the interior piece of furniture, can be achieved manually or by means of s power device, for example by an electric motor, that, depending on the media hardware configuration, the door panel/panels can be moved, depending on the chosen implementation, from a closed state, where the media hardware configuration is hidden behind the door panel/panels, to an open state sideways, i.e. horizontally, i.e. in vertical direction, i.e. vertically, and that the interior element or the interior piece of furniture includes a fastening part or fastening frame for the media hardware configuration, which fits into the body unit and which remains in the closed state behind the door panel/panels. According to an embodiment of the invention, the fastening part or the fastening frame is hinged to the body unit to turn out for facilitating an easy fastening of the media hardware configuration and for facilitating installations of cores and cables.

According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the media hardware configuration, which is fitted into the fastening part or fastening profile in the body unit or in the body frame of the interior element or of the interior piece of furniture, stiffens the body unit or the body frame of the interior element or of the interior piece of furniture. The invention and other advantages thereof are described in the following by an examplatory way by means of few advantageous embodiments by referring to the enclosed drawings, wherein

Fig. 1 presents the body unit of the interior element or of the interior piece of furniture, such that all the basic parts are in place the door panels are partly open and the fastening part or fastening profile of the media hardware configuration is open in other words the same is turned door-like out,

Fig. 2 presents the body unit of the interior element or of the interior piece of furniture from the back side,

Fig. 3 presents a partial drawing of bottom/(background) part of the interior element or of the interior piece of furniture,

Fig. 4 presents the fastening part or profile of the media equipment, which is hinged or will be hinged to the bottom part, in other words to the outer body frame, of the body unit, such that after the fastening part/profile of the media equipment stays as fitted inside the body it will support the fastening structure by doubling wall thickness of the fastening structure,

Fig. 5 presents the door panel, which has been fastened to the body unit of the fastening part or profile for the media hardware configuration by ball slide rails or by slide rails extending, which lengthen telescopically, or by means of another corresponding supporting means, which allows the door panel to move from the closed state, where it covers the media hardware configuration, to the open state, where it is at least partly away from the front of the media hardware configuration, whereby a movement direction is horizontal or vertical, depending on the structure,

Fig. 6 presents a first prototype of the interior element or of the interior piece of furniture in the closed state,

Fig. 7 presents the slide rail solution of the prototype of Fig. 6 as seen from towards the end thereof, and

Fig. 8 presents the prototype of Fig. 6 in the open state.

Reference is made to Figures 1 ... 8 of the drawings. The body unit of the invention is provided with door panels which are horizontally sideways slideable. The door panels may be provided with detachable coatings or outer surface or surface element for providing the aspect of customization of the interior.

A desired decoration/customization panel may be attached to quick fasteners, which are in the door panels, by simple operation series without tools. The decoration panel is as easy to be removed by means of corresponding operation series and to be replaced by a new favorite one. The idea is as crystallized that the solution and the media equipment are integrated as part of interior decoration by means of affixable surfaces ("face"), which can also be easily changed. Thus, adapting of the media equipment with the interior decoration is easy and no structural changes or big-size furniture is needed. Any surface element may also be used in the door panels instead of or in addition to the interior panels with function of purely decoration panels, such a surface element may be composed of or may comprise a membranous flat-panel loudspeaker, whereby the surface element acts as a loudspeaker system of the media equipment.

When starting media equipment, the surfaces are slid or they will slide aside, which makes possible the use of the media equipment, such looking television.

As stated above, the door panels can move aside for accessing media equipment. This function is advantageous to carry out by means of a power supply unit, such as a motor/motoring means, which can be used to move door panels sideways. The motor/motoring means is attached directly to the body unit of the interior element or of the piece of furniture or it is attached by means of a separate module.

The door panels of the interior element or piece of furniture may be made to move also electrically (and/or manually if necessary). The transfer takes place by turning the rotation rod by the electric motor (or manually), whereby the rotation rod compels the fasteners (conveyors/"extensions") connected thereto to move. The rotation rod is "variable-handed", as looked from the middle section thereof, in other words the threads are symmetrically in different directions, in which case one turn of the rod around its longitudinal axis causes equivalent movements of the panels in the opposite directions.

The control unit of the movable door panels can be carried out for example by an electric remote control, which can be integrated with the media hardware configuration's own remote control means. Also the control unit is fastened to the body unit directly or by means of a separate module. Thus, the electrical opening/closing operation of the door panels/the is performed either by using a remote controller meant for this opening operation or by using the remote controller of a media device or of the media hardware configuration, which is fitted to the interior element or to the piece of furniture, whereby the function of opening or closing is advantageously programmed to the remote controller of the media device or of the media hardware configuration, such that the opening of the door panel will turn on the media equipment and the closing of the door panel will be shut-off the media equipment. The control unit functions as desired by utilizing radio technology, infrared technology or any combination thereof. The control unit receives from the remote controller the on/off command and gives an opening or closing command to the electric motor, and when handling the opening command the unit repeats the command to the media equipment utilizing an own transmitter, which is there inside, so that the media equipment would be turned on simultaneously with the opening. The motor unit can also be used by its own remote controller.

The interior element or piece of furniture is equipped with a fastening part or profile which covers the most general fastening standards. In that case the easy fastening of the media equipment to the fixing points, which have been done to the fastening profile of the media equipment by utilizing the most common fastening standards, whereby updating of the media equipment to a new one will be essentially facilitated.

The electrification for the media, in other words for the media hardware configuration or for the media equipment: In addition to an electric opening mechanism, the solution is provided with an extension cords and wirings with related plugs for usually too short electric wires of the media equipment. Also the most common cables, which different media equipment use (for example HDMI) may be found with related connectors and plugs in the media rack. Thus the easy updating of the media equipment to a new one is made possible.

All the four basic elements of the body are made by cutting and by folding of thin sheet metal.

The present invention in disclosed above only examplatory by means of few preferred embodiments thereof. As it is evident to any skilled in the art, this will not limit the invention, but many alternatives and functionally equivalent modifications are possible within the scope of protection that is defined by the enclosed claims.
