The invention is described in more detail below with reference to several exemplary embodiments shown in the figures, but without being restricted to the examples shown here. The seating shown is shown cut vertically for the purpose of illustration. So shows 1 an embodiment of the seating furniture according to the invention with the upper part in an approximately horizontal sitting position; 2 shows the seating positioned in front of an upholstered armchair, in combination with this and in an inclined leg rest position; 3 shows another embodiment of the seating with the upper part in an approximately horizontal sitting position; 4 shows the furniture in combination and again in a sloping leg rest position; 5 and 6 show the seat and the sloping leg rest position of a further embodiment with integrated storage space and with a removable cushion from the cushion pad.

For reasons of stability of the furniture, it makes sense functional parts such as support arms, Hinges, locking fittings etc. to be arranged in pairs. The following description is for the purpose for simplification, however, only described one page; accordingly these parts named in the singular.

According to the illustration in 1 is a top 1 a stool-like piece of furniture by means of a hinge 7 with a base 6 pivotally connected and rests on it in the seating position shown. A support arm 8th is in the base 6 pivoted. If you lift the top 1 on the hinge 7 opposite side, access to a drawstring 9 enables the support arm 8th can be superseded. Then the upper part 1 put down again, it is raised by the support arm 8th held in the sloping leg rest position. An attack 5 that on the top 1 is provided and that with the support arm 8th interacts, prevents the support arm from swinging back unintentionally 8th , The seating is in this leg rest position and in combination with an upholstered armchair 12 in 2 shown.

The reverse conversion takes place by lifting the upper part 1 , This will make the attack 5 disengaged and the support arm 8th swings into the base frame due to its design 6 , The top 1 can on the base 6 be launched - the in 1 shown sitting position is reached.

At the in 3 and 4 In the embodiment shown, the conversion takes place starting from the leg rest position. If you lift the top 1 from its in 4 shown, sloping leg support position, is a locking fitting 10 activates and holds the top 1 in an approximately horizontal, in 3 shown sitting position. After lifting the upper part again 1 becomes the locking fitting 10 disabled and the top 1 can back on the base 6 be discontinued - the in 4 shown leg rest position is reached.

In the 5 and 6 The embodiment shown has a base 6 integrated storage space 11 and one from a cushion 3 removable padding 2 , By using a double hinge 7 ' and a special lift fitting 10 ' the top 1 lift to a vertical position, thereby allowing access to the storage space 11 , To achieve the in 6 shown leg rest position you remove the cushion 2 from the upholstery 3 and lift it up. Thanks to the activated mounting bracket 10 ' becomes the cushion cover 3 in the in 6 shown, sloping leg support position held. The cushion cover 3 is here in the area of the footrest 4 washable or cleanable.

By lifting the upholstery again 3 becomes the high-rise fitting 10 ' deactivated and the cushion cover 3 can on the base 6 and then the upholstery 2 on the upholstery 3 be launched - the in 5 shown sitting position is reached.

There are numerous changes within the scope of this invention possible.

So a hinge other than the one shown 7 Find use. Instead of the double hinge 7 ' can the storage space with the help of a four-bar fitting 11 be made accessible.

Also other than the shown 10 or stand fitting 10 ' enable the conversion. The attack 5 could in the base 1 be provided. The seating furniture according to the invention could also be designed as multi-seat furniture; etc.
