Definitions
- the invention relates to a height-adjustable column for seating furniture according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a pedestal is known from GB-A-935958.
- the standing column shown there is intended for tables, seats and the like, and has an inner spindle tube that can be moved telescopically in an outer composite guide tube.
- the spindle tube runs out into a cone at the bottom, which engages in locking segments that form a double cone on their inner surface and are held together by an elastic ring.
- a conical component is arranged, which can be moved up and down by means of a mechanism from the outside relative to the spindle tube.
- the conical component and the conical end of the spindle tube are drawn into the double cone by the force of a spring, and the locking segments are thus pressed against the inner wall of the spindle tube.
- the height adjustment of the pedestal is locked by a toothing on the outer surface of the locking segments and the inner surface of the guide tube. Unlocking takes place by moving the conical component downwards.
- the pedestal shown there has a spindle tube carrying the seat support, which can be displaced telescopically in a guide tube.
- the guide tube is made corrugated, so that there are grooves arranged in an axial sequence.
- the spindle tube ends in a cone. This cone enters the recess of a spreading device which has a base from which fingers extend upwards which end in circumferential thickenings.
- the spreader is made of elastic material, e.g. B. nylon.
- the inner recess has a conical surface.
- the spreading device In the rest position, the spreading device is pulled upwards onto the cone by a spring, which is supported on a disk which is firmly seated in the cone of the spindle tube, and is thus spread.
- the thickenings then lie in the grooves of the guide tube and block the height adjustment of the pedestal.
- An operating lever is moved down to change the height.
- the expansion device is pulled off the cone of the spindle tube and closes. The thickenings then emerge from the grooves and the height of the column can be adjusted.
- a number of locking mechanisms are used, in which a locking lever or similar locking part is mounted in the inner bore of the inner telescopic tube.
- This locking lever engages through the wall of the inner telescopic tube in bores that are step-like in the wall of the outer telescopic tube.
- System-related disadvantage is that both pipes must be constantly connected to each other so that they can not rotate radially against each other when the lock is released and z. B. the chair top is rotated.
- Another disadvantage is that the gradations can not be made fine enough. The necessary thickness of the locking lever and the necessary hole spacing prevent this.
- the height adjustment should be as fine as possible and be able to be carried out in a sitting position, and the pillar in the sense of a modular system should be able to be equipped with compensation springs in a simple manner depending on the customer's request or not. This results in important production advantages. If the compensating spring is missing or defective, there must be a safeguard against sudden sagging when the lock is accidentally unlocked.
- the locking element encircling the latching segments which is preferably an annular spring (hereinafter briefly: ring spring), can be easily engaged or disengaged in the grooves of the guide tube by moving the latching cone up or down.
- annular spring hereinafter briefly: ring spring
- the spindle and guide tube In the locked state, a positive connection is thus created between the spindle and guide tube, which results in far lower surface pressure even under extreme seat loads than, for example, in the known spherical locking elements.
- Relatively modest spring cross-sections and thus also groove cross-sections can thus be provided, as a result of which the grooves can then be arranged at a short distance, and thus a previously unattainable fine step of the adjustment is achieved.
- the annular spring which provides the positive locking and thus the height locking also fulfills the function of exerting a contracting force on the locking segments, counter to the expansion effect of the locking cone, which is a great advantage in terms of production technology and costs. If, instead of the circumferential ring spring, a nose formed on the detent segments is provided, the contracting force is omitted, but a part is saved during manufacture.
- the stand column according to the invention is not only inexpensive to manufacture and also easy to maintain, but can also be designed in different variants.
- the locking cone for unlocking is pressed down out of the locking segments and, in the variant according to claim 3, is pulled into the locking segments for unlocking.
- the former variant is more suitable for certain seating furniture models because an operating lever that is subjected to tension is less easy to accommodate in tight spaces under the seat.
- both variants can be equipped in a simple manner both with compression springs and with non-lockable gas springs as compensation springs against the upper part weight, which the price of the seating furniture increases, but also the user comfort.
- two telescoping tubes are arranged to be longitudinally displaceable in a manner known per se. Since the column should be rotatable, a round tube is preferably used.
- the other corresponding parts are, as usual, rotationally symmetrical.
- the spindle tube 7 is firmly connected to a seat support 30, which carries the chair or armchair upper part, for. B. welded.
- a seat support 30 which carries the chair or armchair upper part, for. B. welded.
- this seat support 30 there is in a known manner an actuating lever 24 which, when pulled upwards at the outer end, exerts a force in the center of the column, the so-called release force.
- the actuating lever is rotatably connected to the seat support 30 by a secured bearing pin 26.
- concentrically acting detent segments 1 are arranged at the lower end of the spindle tube 7, each pivotably mounted in an opening 33 of the spindle tube 7. It can be two, preferably three, but also more. 1 to 5, the detent segments 1 are enclosed at the free end by an annular spring element, an annular spring 12, which is embedded and held on the outside in a circumferential groove 31 of the detent segments 1, so that a considerable part of the cross section of the annular spring 12, about half, lies in the groove 31.
- the ring spring 12 can be a spiral spring, which is closed at the end, or a round or square spring ring which is open at the end. It engages with its outside in grooves 32 of corresponding cross-section, which are introduced one above the other in the ring, in the guide tube 6 and thus brings about a form-fitting connection between the telescoping guide and spindle tube.
- the openings 33 for the retaining lugs 21 of the locking segments 1 are chosen such that the lower edge of the spindle tube 7 transfers the user load to the correspondingly shaped locking segments 1, so that the largest possible contact area also results in a low surface pressure.
- the ring spring 12 is designed such that the locking segments 1 are pulled together in the unlocked state until they abut each other. In the locked state, this is prevented by the locking cone 5.
- This can advantageously be produced inexpensively as a rotationally symmetrical part, for. B. on automatic lathes. It is conical in the section which is adjacent to the locking segments 1, the cone inclination advantageously being in the area of self-locking, that is to say 5 ° to 10 °.
- the inner part of the locking segments 1 is partially of the same conical design, advantageously the one that is approximately opposite the ring spring 12.
- the annular spring 12 engages in the grooves 32 of the guide tube 6 only with a part of its cross section, which in the best case is almost half the diameter, but can be smaller for tolerance and other reasons. Reliable positive locking is always achieved, however, a round cross-section of the ring spring causes a force decomposition from the acting force to the center of the chair column.
- the locking segments 1 have a molded nose 12 'instead of a circumferential ring spring.
- Nose 12 'and groove 32 have bevels at the top and preferably also at the bottom.
- the nose and thus the locking segments 1 are pressed out of the groove 32 when the locking segments 1 move up and down in the unlocked state.
- the contraction effect of the ring spring 12 is eliminated, but a separate component is advantageously saved for the production.
- the locking spring 17 pulls the locking cone 5 between the locking segments 1 upward, so that they are reliably spread outwards due to the reinforcing effect of the cone and remain. If the cone angle is below the friction angle, then there is a reliable self-locking when locked.
- the locking cone 5 is fixedly connected at its upper end to the locking spring sleeve 8, for. B. via a circumferential groove.
- the detent spring sleeve 8 is of the spring washer 2, the down in the spindle tube 7, z. B. rests on pronounced knobs, guided centrally from the lower end.
- the detent spring 17 rests on the bottom of the spring support disc 2 and exerts a prestressed constant pressure against the flange of the detent spring sleeve 8 lying above, and thus causes the detent cone 5 to be pulled upwards and causes a lock.
- the locking spring sleeve is designed like a bush over the flange. The pressure sleeve 13 is inserted into this socket.
- the pressure plug 4 can be made of metal or plastic and can be produced inexpensively as a molded plastic part.
- the upper locking clip 10 forms the upper stop of the pressure sleeve 13. It causes, via the locking spring sleeve 8, that the locking spring 17 is always held under prestress.
- the actuating lever 24 is raised on the outside, as a result of which the pressure plug 4 is pressed downward. This movement is transmitted via the pressure sleeve 13 and the locking spring sleeve 8 to the locking cone 5 against the force of the locking spring 17.
- the locking cone 5 then clears the way centrally, so that the locking segments 1 are drawn together by the ring spring 12.
- the locking between guide tube 6 and spindle tube 7 is released.
- the top can be raised or lowered. It can be rotated in relation to the lower part. If the actuating lever 24 is released, the locking segments 1 are again spread outwards by the locking cone 5.
- Spindle tube 7 and guide tube 6 automatically lock themselves at the selected height in the closest groove 32 of the guide tube 6.
- the ring spring 12 can be kept small with a diameter of approximately 2 to 4 mm, the distances between the individual grooves 32 in the guide tube 6 can also be kept so small that they reach the limit of human discriminative power and the height adjustment equals a stepless adjustment, as is known from lockable gas springs, but without their disadvantages.
- the height stop rod 16 is provided.
- Pressure sleeve 13 and detent spring sleeve 8 are hollow according to the invention, likewise cer locking cone 5.
- the height stop rod 16 between the guide tube 6 below and the spindle tube 7 as a centrally arranged rod and as an easy-to-produce part made of round material, for. B. steel.
- the height stop rod 16 is firmly connected to the guide tube 6 at the bottom via the lower locking clip 11 and the cross bolt 15 held in two opposite bores.
- the upper end of the height stop rod 16 carries a locking washer 28 or another stationary part, which limits the path of the spindle tube 7 upwards when it comes to rest on the detent spring sleeve 8 or a height stop disc 3 placed thereon.
- an upper part weight compensation spring 9 or 35 can also be provided in the space left inside by the pressure sleeve 13 or the locking spring sleeve 8 and the locking cone 5. This is shown in Figs. 2 and 3. This can be both a non-blocking, simple gas spring 9 as in Fig. 3, and a compression spring 35, for. B. act from spring steel wire, as in Fig. 2.
- the spring 9 or 35 acts at the upper end on the upper locking clip 10, which is firmly connected to the spindle tube 7.
- the compression spring 35 acts on the locking washer 28 of the height stop rod 16, which in turn is supported on the cross bolt 15.
- the lower locking clip 11 holds both the piston rod 14 of the gas spring 9 and the lower end of the height stop bar 16 of the same shape in position. Because of the flat spring detection, based on the constant top weight, the simple and relatively inexpensive Gas spring 9 preferred. Since it has an end stop when fully extended, no height stop is required in this case.
- the remaining height adjustment mechanism according to the invention always has its entire remaining function - that of a mechanism without upper part weight compensation - like it is intended for the simpler and lighter chairs.
- the claim is made to offer less or greater comfort (upper part weight compensation) only by adding or omitting parts. All other parts remain the same as a modular system.
- the stand column according to the invention is extremely advantageous: all parts of the mechanics are only plugged together. This enables them to be installed quickly and inexpensively.
- the lower locking clip 11 and upper locking clip 10 which are advantageously made of spring steel and are connected at the bottom on the cross bolt 15, or snap firmly into the corresponding holes in the spindle tube 7 at the top. They in turn have resilient retaining tongues which receive the appropriately designed ends of the gas springs 9 or the height stop rod 16.
- the detent spring sleeve 8 has no forces to absorb the seat load or from the weight compensation spring 9 or 35. Not least because of this, it can be designed very advantageously as an inexpensive plastic injection-molded part.
- the user can sag down with the upper part of the chair if he accidentally triggers the release. Although it is caught by the central seat spring 23, the uncertainty remains. If the ring spring 12 is designed with a rectangular cross-section, this is prevented because the static friction between the spring and the lower surface of the groove 32 of the guide tube 6 is greater than the concentric unlocking force of the spring when the user weight acts.
- the lower edge of the spindle tube 7 can be made at an angle obliquely upwards from the inside to the outside.
- the corresponding recess of the locking segments 1 is also carried out.
- FIG. 5 shows an undercut that is even more pronounced than in FIG. 4.
- the locking cone 5 ' acts at the lower end of the locking segments 1'.
- a disk 36 which is secured against falling out. It prevents the locking segments 1 'from being able to move inwards at this point, but otherwise gives them a certain possibility of movement.
- the locking between the locking segment 1 'and the guide tube 6 takes place in the manner described.
- the locking segments 1 ' have the molded-on counter-cone against the locking cone 5', which acts in reverse from top to bottom. The distances mentioned can behave like 1: 1.
- the locking cone 5 ' is pressed down by the locking spring 17', which acts between the disk 36 and the upper surface of the locking cone 5 '.
- the pretensioning of the ring spring 12 has the effect in the manner described that the locking is released.
- the train takes place via the pull sleeve 37, which is fixed with the locking cone 5 ', for. B. is connected by gluing or soldering and consists of a tube which is somewhat crimped at the lower end.
- the height stop rod 16 which is made of thin round material, for. B. wire can be made. It has a thickening at the upper end, similar to a nail head, and a bent eyelet at the lower end. Through this eyelet, the cross pin 15 'is pushed, which is connected to the guide tube 6 as described.
- the pull sleeve 37 can be hooked directly into the operating lever 24.
- the operating lever 24 is mounted in such a way that it executes a movement from the bottom up when it is pulled upwards from the outside. So it works in the same direction.
