Garden bench with two bench feet supporting the seat part and the backrest

The present innovation relates to a garden bench with two bench feet supporting the seat part and the backrest, wherein the seat part and the backrest are formed from a slat.

Garden benches have to be made from a weather-proof insensitive material can be produced. There are proven designs known in which the bench feet consist of plastic and the slats forming the seat part and the backrest are plastic-coated. The slats differ both in the dimensions of the individual slats and in their number. With bench feet made of plastic, each slat of the slats lies in recesses in the bench feet. It follows that the bench feet are dependent

of the slats have to be designed «The different versions of the bench feet make their manufacture influenced in an uneconomical manner.

The present innovation, on the other hand, is the task based on * to design a garden bench of the type mentioned in such a way that regardless of the type of lathing Bench feet of the same design can be used.

To solve the given task is according to the innovation provided that the slats of the backrest and the seat part are attached to slat supports that are attached to the Bench feet are set.

It is now possible by such an embodiment of the lath support in that the surfaces for receiving the slats forming slats in response to the dimensions and the number of slats designed v / ground, Q) rend currency, the connecting dimensions of the connecting parts of the bar carrier to Bankfuß independently of the laths are the same. This has the great advantage over the previously known constructions that the same bench feet can be used for all designs of a garden bench series resulting from the different lathing, whereby the manufacturing costs are reduced by saving tools, simplified storage and final assembly. Furthermore, transport and storage in the disassembled state of the garden bench is possible, since the slats of the seat part and the backrest can be produced without the bench being assembled. This creates space

saved up. The assembling is without any special prior knowledge by technically inexperienced persons and possible without the aid of special tools.

According to a preferred embodiment it is provided that each slat carrier on its underside one U-shaped receptacle extending over the entire length or approximately over the entire length, which engages over an upstanding web of each bench foot and is connected by means of a connecting means, e.g.

a screw, is fixed at the foot of the bench. In such a design that is the seat part or the Slats forming the backrest are simply to be attached to the bench feet and secured against being pulled out by attaching fasteners. According to one Further still preferred embodiment, it is provided that each slat carrier - seen in ° M section T-shaped is designed, with recesses for receiving the slats on the side facing the slat are provided and on the side facing the bench foot, the U-shaped receptacle for the bench foot is arranged. The T-shaped design creates a relatively large support for the individual battens, the spacing of the slats from one another is predetermined by the recesses. There are therefore no special ones Devices for applying the slats.

A simple attachment of the laths to the lath support is achieved if the lath support is on the side next to each Recess at least one cylindrical, with a push-through channel for a connecting part, e.g. A screw, a nail or the like., Has provided approach.

A garden bench shown in FIG. 1 consists essentially of a plastic part Bench foot 1, also designed as a plastic part Slat support 2, which is provided for receiving a certain number of slats 3, wherein the slat support 2 in connection with the slats 3 form the seat part 4 of the garden bench, and one also as a plastic part trained lath carrier 5, which is also designed to accommodate a certain number of laths 6 is, wherein the slat carrier 5 forms a backrest 7 together with the slats 6. On the slats or 6 facing side is each lath carrier 2 or with recesses 8 for receiving one lath each

or 6 provided. As can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, the slat carrier 2 is at the foot of the bench 1 facing side with two extending over its length and arranged parallel to one another Legs 9 and 10 are provided which form a U-shaped receptacle 11. Also the slat carrier 5 for the Backrest 7 is provided with legs 9 and 10. The U-shaped receptacle 11 of each lath support 2 or 5 overlaps a web 12 of the foot of the bench 1. Each web 12 is provided with through bores 13. The thigh 9, 10 of the U-shaped receptacle 11 have elongated slots 14 which, in the assembled state, are shown in FIG Extension of the through bores 13 are so that by means of screws 15 of the provided with slats 3 or 6 Slat carrier 2 or 5 can be fixed on the webs 12 of the bench foot 1. Through the elongated Slots 14 can be provided with the slats 3 or 6 equipped slat carrier 2 or v /. 5 attached to the foot of the bench 1,

Below the recesses 8, each slat carrier is 2 or v /. 5 on both sides of each leg 9 or 10 with each a cylindrical extension 16 is provided, into which a not shown push-through channel for a nail 17 for attaching the battens 3 and / or. 6 is incorporated.

As in particular from the Fi ^. 1 and 2 recognizable, can the seat part 4 and the backrest 7 are preassembled. Relatively little space is required due to the flat design. To assemble a garden bench, the seat part 4 and the backrest 7 are then on the webs 12 of two bench feet 1 arranged at a distance from one another are inserted and secured by screws 15.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 2 differs from that in FIG. 1 by a smaller one Number of slats 3 for the seat part 4 and a likewise smaller number of slats 6 for the backrest 7. In this version, laths with a larger cross-section are used. As further from FIG. 1 1 and 2, the lateral recesses 8 of the slat support 2 for the seat part 4 are towards the outside designed to be open due to the lack of a web. In the same way, the upper recess 8 of the Lath support 5 designed for the backrest 7. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 is also the front recess 8 of the slat support 2 for the seat part 4 inclined forward, so that the fixed therein Latte is also inclined. The upper recess 8 of the slat support 5 for the backrest 7 is available also at an angle to the other recesses, so that the top slat is also inclined towards the foot of the bench is.

In Figs. 1 and 2, the garden bench according to the innovation is shown in an exploded view, while in Fig. 3 shows an assembled state.

In Fig. 4, a bench according to the innovation is shown schematically in a view. To stabilize the essentially from two bench feet 1, two slat supports 2 carrying the seat part 4 and two the backrest 7 holding slat carriers 5 formed garden bench are two starting from the center of the bahm, below the seat attached to the bottom of each bench foot 1 extending inclined struts 18 and a longitudinal strut 19 connecting the lower areas of the bench feet 1 provided *
