Hammock for lying and sitting with a partially foldable mesh net. Patented in the German Empire on June 13, 1924.

There are already known hammocks which can be used both lying and sitting Position can be used. When using these mats in a sitting position the Ubelstand makes itself very uncomfortably noticeable that the legs in one sack-like depression of the network. However, this causes the network at this point Chafed through quickly or when the sack is used as a step to climb onto the mat is, as it usually happens, trodden through.

This deficiency is now remedied by the new hammock according to the invention, that part of the mat network is arranged independently of the supporting ropes, so that this part is opposite to that with the supporting ropes connected and intertwined other part for the purpose of forming a seat mat is reversible.

The subject of the invention is on the

w drawing in two embodiments for example shown. Figs. I, 2 and 3 show such a hammock with the Crossbars arranged at the front edges of the net initially diagrammatically as lying mat, then in Fig. 2 in plan view and in Fig. 3 as a seat mat. Figs. 4 and 5 show a second embodiment of the hammock without crossbars diagrammatically as a lying mat and as a sitting mat.

According to the first embodiment, the cords of the mesh network 1 are through holes the crossbars 2, 3 attached to its front edges and with their The ends are knotted in the heart loops 4 and 5.

The part i ^{a of} the mesh network 1 is entwined at its longitudinal edges with the support cable 6, which is passed over the eyelet 4 and held there with the ends of the network cords by a collar. In the middle of the net 1, two simple knots 7, 8, 7 ', 8' are looped on both sides in the support cable 6 at a short distance from one another. From the knot 7, 7 'onwards, the support cable runs freely over the transverse timber 2 through guide slots 9, g ^a attached to its edges after the eyelet 10, while the cords of part i ^{b of} the mesh network end in the eyelet 5. In the eyelet 10, an S-hook 12 is permanently attached, in the free part of which the eyelet 5 of the power supply unit i ^b can be hung. When the net is appropriately suspended and tensioned between two supports by means of the ropes 13 fastened in the eyelets 10, 4, the mesh network spread over its entire length forms a mat, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2.

To form a hanging seat, it is only necessary to unhook the power supply unit i &, which ends in the eyelet 5, from the S-hook 12, ^{wind the free net ΐ δ} around the cross bar 2 and then wind the latter between the nodes 7, 8, 7 ', 8' to be inserted in such a way that the support cable 6 passes through the slots 9, g ^{a of} the cross bar 2, the deflection of which comes to lie downwards (Fig. 3).

The hammock shown diagrammatically in Figs. 4 and 5 has no crossbars. The arrangement here is such that the mesh network 1 is surrounded on all sides at its edge by the supporting rope 14, which is used as a hammock when the mat is used, and an eyelet 15, 16 receiving the supporting rope 14 is provided at the ends of the tapering mat. The eyelet 15 carries an S-hook 17 which engages in the eyelet 18 which receives the ends of the second support cable 19. Ropes 20 are provided in the eyelets 18 and 16 for fastening the mat to corresponding supports. In the position shown in Fig. 4, the mat serves as a lying mat. In order to be able to use this as a seat mat, the second support rope 19 is guided in the middle part of the net transversely to the net axis, and the ends of this transverse strand ig " are knotted with the side strands of the support rope 14 at 21 and 22. If the hook 17 unhooked from the eyelet 18 and the thus freed power supply unit i ^b folded down around the ouerstang 19 ° and hooked into the eyelet 16 again by means of the hook 17, then the seat mat, as shown in Fig. 5, is created at 21 and 22 with the first support cable 14 knotted support cable 19, 19 ° and the latter 14 as a common support cable.

This arrangement of the hammocks has the further advantage that the mat of Sick and convalescent as well as older people who are severely inhibited in their freedom of movement People can be easily climbed and can also be used as a mat, in that the user of the mat first assumes the sitting position and then An accompanying person lifts the broken part of the net with the feet of the seated person and places it in the eye of the Foot end 10 or 18 is attached so that the respective user of the hammock can easily move from the sitting position to the lying position and vice versa.

Claims (1)

Patent claim: Hammock for lying and sitting with a partially foldable mesh network, characterized in that the foldable part (i ⁶ ) is arranged independently of the carrying cables (6, 19) of the other power supply unit (i ^a ) and by this itself and when the mat is used as a mat can be hung with the hanging loop (5), but can be turned over under the other power supply unit (i ^a ) for use as a seat mat.
