Description

The invention relates to a stacking chair with armrests, which by superposing the V-shaped downwards opening side legs is stackable and its armrests relative to achieve a low stacking height are arranged offset to the vertical stacking plane of the side legs.

Stacking chairs of this type are used both for single seating and for row seating. at the row arrangement of the chairs either chairs with and without armrests are placed next to each other or uniform Chairs with only one armrest arranged in a row and connected to one another in a known manner. In In both cases it is accepted that the installation width of stacking chairs in proportion to the available

standing width of the seat is unfavorable. This is due to the lateral, outward displacement of the armrests, which is necessary to the To be able to stack chairs by stacking the side legs. Because of this disadvantage, In practice, a stacking chair of this type is only used reluctantly to form rows or one decides to move the stacking chairs in the row so closely together that the armrests that are turned to the side a little protrude into the width of the seat of the neighboring chair. This is extremely inconvenient for the users of the stacking chairs placed in a row.

The invention has for its object to provide a stackable chair with armrests of the aforementioned type, which has only a small installation width when arranged in a row, but this is structurally the available width of the seat should not be impaired.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the armrest is mounted on an armrest support which is arranged in a plane parallel to the stacking plane of the side legs and a free one in this plane Has passage for nesting the armrest support of stacked chairs, with the free passage in Use of the chairs is covered by an armrest that can be folded over the free passage. It is beneficial to that Align the folding axis of the armrest parallel to the side of the seat and to arrange it on the armrest support.

Due to the structural design of a free passage into the armrest support in the area of its vertical stacking plane, the plane parallel to the stacking plane of the side

Legs is aligned, a lateral offset of the armrest carrier and thus the armrest is avoided. In the stacking chair according to the invention, the armrest supports and the armrest are exactly in the middle between the stacking chairs arranged in a row. Narrowing the breadth of the constructively available Seat does not take place. For the user is the free passage of the armrest support when using the stacking chair covered. For this purpose, the armrest is preferably fastened and folded on the armrest support locked in the position of use.

To stack the chairs, the armrest lock is released and the armrest is laterally removed from the armrest support folded down. This makes the passage in the stacking plane of the armrest support as well as with wider armrests in the stacking level of the legs, so that the chairs can be stacked without any problems can be done.

In terms of construction, the armrest support can be pulled down to the seat area and to the side Be screwed on the legs. The armrest support must then be V-shaped on one side or both sides upwards open to reveal the passage. In another embodiment of the invention, the armrest support can also be attached to the side of the backrest of the seat be and extend away substantially horizontally laterally next to the seat of the backrest.

The armrest is expediently fastened to the armrest support by means of a hinge so that it can be folded cannot be lost even when folded down. the

Locking the armrest in the position of use on the armrest support can optionally by means of a Tool done so that the seat user has no opportunity to play with the folding mechanism, or a lock that can be operated without tools is preferred, as this makes the work of the staff at the time Erecting the chairs is simplified.

A useful locking of the armrest with the armrest support is characterized by an engaging in a snap and provided with a locking groove Retaining pin. However, other locks are also conceivable, e.g. a screw or eccentric lock, Magnetic locks or devices that use a latch or latch that can be retracted against the force of a spring work o.a.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawing. Show it:

Fig ». 1 shows the side view of an inventive Armrest support with one armrest in the position of use,

FIG. 2 shows the top view of the armrest support according to FIG. 1 with the armrest folded down,

3 shows the front view of the armrest support according to FIG. 1 with the armrest folded down.

The armrest carrier 4 is shown pulled down in the height of the seat and means to pass comparable drawn with its foot 6 screws through the screw holes with the lateral legs of the seat

screws. In Fig, 3 are the side legs Indicated by dash-dotted lines and with the reference number 7 Mistake. The actual seat of the chair is also indicated.

From the illustration it can be seen that the armrest support 4 in its own vertical stacking plane at the top leaves a passage free in that the horizontal fastening leg 9 for the armrest 10 is arranged laterally offset to the stacking level. With this fastening leg 9, the armrest 10 is through the hinge 11 is captively connected.

From Fig. 1 is shown in dashed lines with reference to the Edge 12 can be seen that the armrest support 4 in his vertical stacking plane is issued in a V-shape upwards, so that when the armrest 10 is folded back, the armrest supports of stacked chairs can interlock.

Fig. 3 shows the front view of the armrest support 4 with the armrest 10 unfolded and illustrates the advantages of the invention in the row arrangement of the stacking chairs. In Fig. 3, dash-dotted lines on the left side are the seat and indicated the leg 7 of the chair to which the armrest support 4 is connected. Opposite on the the right side of the seat 13 and the leg of an adjacent chair is indicated, the one with the first Chair is connected to a row and has no armrests on this side. In the middle between the two legs 7 and 14, the armrest support 4 is arranged with the armrest 10 in a vertical orientation and it is light recognizable that with a stack chair according to the invention Armrests not in the adjacent seat areas

protrudes and thus despite only a small installation width of the chair to the user in an optimal way the entire width of the constructive seat is available.

The locking of the armrest 10 in the position of use is given in the illustrated embodiment of the invention by a Schnepper 15, which is arranged in the armrest support and in the one with a
