Description

The The invention relates to a chair comprising a seat element and both sides the seat element in each case a chair leg element and a coupling device for Chaining comprises a chair of the same type.

such Chairs are known and can from practice be used in particular for building chained rows of chairs. For example, such chairs as a coupling device Have armrests that in a concatenation with a chair of the same Type with an armrest of this chair can be coupled, in which case the armrest on one side of the seat element complementary formed to the armrest on the other side of the seat member is so that the armrests of adjacent chairs with each other can be crossed. This type of concatenation but is not applicable to armrest-free chairs. For Armrest-free chairs, it is rather known, a side projecting, hook-like tab provide that in a chaining with a chair of the same type in a recording of the connected Chair engages, which also laterally next to the seat element is trained. But the tab interferes especially with a non-chained use of the chair's appearance.

From the DE 199 44 503 C1 is a chained chair is known in which a connecting strut between front chair legs has a sloping and a rising end, so that the frames of identical chairs can be folded together.

From the WO 2008/048092 For example, a concealable chair is known in which a chair frame is formed so as to leave a space between the seat portion and the chair legs. This allows chair legs of a chair of the same type to be inserted into the intermediate space for linking.

Of the Invention is based on the object, a chair introductory genus to create that of an optimized coupling device for stable linking with a chair of the same design at the same time has an attractive appearance.

These Task is inventively by the chair with the features of claim 1 solved.

The The invention therefore relates to a chair, which has a seat element, on both sides of the seat element in each case a chair leg element, the two Chair legs forms, as well as a coupling device for concatenation comprising a chair of the same type. The chair leg elements are formed to profile the coupling device each profile-like and provided with a hook-like cross-section. The cross section of the a chair leg element opens in the direction of the floor. Of the Cross-section of the other chair leg element opens in the direction away from the ground. The cross sections of the two chair leg elements correspond to each other such that the cross section of a chair leg element in a cross section of the other chair leg element of a chair same Type for linking the two chairs form-fitting can intervene.

at the concatenation of the chair according to the invention with a chair of the same Type of concatenation is thus directly on the chair leg elements. The two chair leg elements form by the mesh at least in terms of visual appearance a common Chair leg element that forms two common chair legs. The two Chair leg elements of the chair according to the invention are thus complementary formed to each other, so that the chair leg element of a chair on the complementarily formed chair leg element of a adjacent chair can be hung, where by the concatenation an attractive, preferably homogeneous appearance results.

The with respect to a longitudinal median plane of the chair arranged on the right Chair leg element thus has a profile that differs from the profile of on the left-hand chair leg element differs, in such a way that the two chair leg elements complement each other to form a profile, preferably as a common chair leg element chained together chairs acts.

at a preferred embodiment of the chair according to the invention complement the corresponding cross sections of interlocking chair elements adjacent chairs to an at least approximately rectangular, round or oval cross-section. The interlocking Chair leg elements thus overlap such that gives a visually harmonious appearance.

Around a stable connection between the two chair leg elements of adjoining chairs to achieve their concatenation, the chair leg elements preferably each over the entire profile length a hook-like Cross-section.

to Stabilization of the chair according to the invention are the two chair leg elements in an expedient embodiment about Cross struts connected to each other at the bottom of the seat element are arranged.

In a cost-producible embodiment of the chair according to the invention, the Chair leg elements and the seat member made in one piece, namely, for example, plastic after an injection molding process. In this case, also extending on the underside of the chair leg element transverse struts or ribs can be integrated, for example, connect the chair leg elements together.

at an alternative embodiment of the chair according to the Invention, the chair leg elements are part of a chair frame, where the seat element is attached. The chair frame can be out Made of metal or plastic.

Of Furthermore, the chair leg elements each have an armrest include. In this case, preferably, the armrest forms a Upper cross strut, the two chair legs of a chair leg element connects together and also a hook-like cross-section has and the part of the chair leg element forming profile is.

Preferably the chair leg elements expand in each case in the direction of the floor. So there are so-called V-feet, which is a stack allow several chairs of the same type and a simple concatenation allow chairs of the same type, because this the chair with the overarching chair leg element only slightly, that is, the width of the chair leg element forming Profile needs to be raised.

Further Advantages and advantageous embodiments of the subject of the invention are the description, the drawing and the claims removable.

One Embodiment of a chair according to the invention shown schematically simplified in the drawing and is in the following description. It shows:

1 a top perspective view of a chair according to the invention;

2 a second perspective top view of the chair;

3 a perspective bottom view of the chair;

4 a detailed view of the chair in the region of a chair leg element before concatenation with a chair of the same design and the cross section for coupling the chair elements;

5 the chair in the linked state with the chair of the same type and the cross-section of the coupled chair leg elements;

6 a perspective view of the two chained together chairs;

7 a second perspective view of the two chained together chairs; and

8th several chairs in stacked condition.

In the 1 to 3 is a chair in isolation 10 shown, which is designed as a stackable chair and a seat shell 12 which comprises a seat element 14 and a backrest 15 having. Relative to a chair longitudinal center plane is the seat pan 12 in the area of the seat element 14 both sides each with a chair leg element 16A respectively. 16B Mistake. The chair leg elements 16A and 16B are each substantially inverted V-shaped and each form two chair legs 18A and 20A respectively. 18B and 20B , The chair legs 18A and 20A of the chair leg element 16A are over a thigh 22A connected with each other. The chair legs 18B and 20B of the chair leg element 16B are over a thigh 22B connected with each other.

As 3 it can be seen is at the bottom of the seat element 14 Furthermore, a cross bracing or ribbing 24 integrated the structure of the chair 10 stabilized.

The chair 10 is a plastic injection molded part, wherein the seat pan 12 , the chair leg elements 16A and 16B as well as the bracing 24 are integrally formed.

The chair 10 is designed as a chain chair and has to form a coupling device to the basis of 4 to 7 illustrated concatenation with a chair 10 ' same design is used, the two chair leg elements 16A and 16B on. These are each formed like a profile and have a hook-like or U-shaped cross-section.

The cross sections of the two profile-like chair leg elements 16A and 16B are formed complementary to each other, wherein the cross-section of the chair leg element 16A opens in the direction away from the ground and the cross section of the chair leg element 16B opens in the direction of the ground. This allows the chair leg element 16B of the chair 10 from above on the chair leg element 16A ' of the chair 10 ' be hung so that the two chair leg elements 16A ' of the chair 10 ' and 16B of the chair 10 interlock positively over their entire profile length. In the interconnected state form the two complementary trained chair leg elements 16A ' and 16B a substantially rectangular cross section, in particular 5 can be seen. The resulting appearance is a chair leg element, which is the two chained together chairs 10 and 10 ' share.

In particular 8th it can be seen, the chairs can 10 . 10 ' and 10 '' be stacked in a simple manner due to the inverted V-shaped configuration of the chair leg elements.
