Description

Die vorstehende Erfindung betrifft ein Sofa oder ein aehnliches Sitzgeraet mit Rueckenlehnen, Armlehnen und anderen Zusatzgeraeten, die in ihrer Lage frei gegenueber der Grundflaeche des Sofas angeordnet werden koennen. Weiter bezieht sich die Erfindung allgemein auf Zusatzgeraete die frei gegenueber einem Grundkoerper eines Sitzgeraets positionierbar sind.The above invention relates to a sofa or a similar seat device with backrests, armrests and other additional devices, which can be arranged freely in relation to the base area of the sofa. Furthermore, the invention relates generally to additional devices which can be freely positioned relative to a basic body of a seat device.

Allgemein werden heute Sofas in der Art einer Liege aufgebaut, das heisst es ist ein Grundkoerper vorgesehen, der eine Matratze aufnimmt, in diesem Fall sind weder Rueckenlehnen noch Armlehnen vorgesehen.In general, sofas are now constructed in the manner of a couch, which means that a basic body is provided that accommodates a mattress, in this case neither backrests nor armrests are provided.

Es sind auch Sofas oder Sitzgeraete bekannt geworden, die einen schalenfoermigen Grundkoerper aufweisen, um eine Flaeche zur Aufnahme der Sitzpolster zu schaffen, die sich mit hoeheren Seitenwaenden verbindet, um Armlehnen zu bilden. Des weiteren ist dem Grundkoerper ein annaehernd senkrecht angeordnetes Wandteil zugeordnet, das zur Aufnahme von Polsterungen zur Schaffung der Rueckenlehne dient.There have also been known sofas or seating devices which have a shell-shaped basic body in order to To create space for receiving the seat cushions, which connects to higher side walls to form armrests. Furthermore, the basic body is assigned an approximately vertically arranged wall part, which serves to hold upholstery to create the backrest.

Ein in herkoemmlicher Weise aufgebautes Sofa dieser Art hat den Nachteil, dass es eine starre Struktur aufweist, die dem Innenarchitekten keinen Freiraum laesst, gestalterische Aenderungen vorzunehmen, sowie eine unterschiedliche Anzahl von Rueckenlehnen und/oder Armlehnen vorzusehen. Ein weiterer Nachteil der klassischen Sofas ist darin zu sehen, dass die Rueckenlehne ueblicherweise entlang einer Laengsseite des Grundkoerpers angeordnet ist,wobei senkrecht zu dieser Geraden die Armlehnen angeordnet sind. In diesem Fall ist es also nicht moeglich, die Lage der Polster der Rueckenlehne bzw. der Armlehnen gegenueber dem Grundkoerper des Sofas zu veraendern.A conventionally constructed sofa of this type has the disadvantage that it has a rigid structure that leaves the interior designer no freedom to make design changes and to provide a different number of backrests and / or armrests. Another disadvantage of the classic sofas is the fact that the backrest is usually arranged along a long side of the basic body, the armrests being arranged perpendicular to this straight line. In this case it is not possible to change the position of the upholstery of the backrest or armrests in relation to the basic body of the sofa.

Ein weiterer Nachteil der den bekannten Sofas anhaftet, ist darin zu sehen, dass sowohl das Grundgestell des Sitzgeraetes als auch die Polsterungen fuer Sitze und Armlehnen als auch fuer Polsterungen der Rueckenlehne ueblicherweise aus dem gleichen Material bestehen, gleiche Farbe aufweisen, was zu einer weiteren Einschraenkung der Wirkungsfreiheit in konstruktiver und gestalterischer Hinsicht fuehrt.Another disadvantage of the known sofas is that both the base frame of the seating device and the upholstery for seats and armrests as well as for the backrest upholstery usually consist of the same material and have the same color, which leads to a further limitation the freedom of effect in constructive and creative Respect leads.

Aufgabe der vorstehenden Erfindung ist es, ein Sofa oder aehnliches Sitzgeraet mit neuem Aufbau zu schaffen, mit dem es moeglich wird, die Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu vermeiden.The object of the above invention is to create a sofa or similar seating device with a new structure, with which it becomes possible to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art.

Eine derartige Aufnahme fuer eine Rueckenlehne bzw. Armlehnen oder ein Zusatzgeraet ermoeglicht es, mit dem Grundgestell des Sofas eine beliebige Anzahl von Rueckenlehnen, Armlehnen oder Zusatzgeraeten zu kombinieren. Sowohl die Rueckenlehnen als auch die Armlehnen sind frei beweglich und frei gegenueber dem Grundkoerper des Sofas in ihrer Lage einstellbar. Den Rueckenlehnen und Armlehnen wird eine Federwirkung erteilt, die Rueckenlehnen bzw. Armlehne sind nicht nur beliebig gegenueber dem Grundkoerper des Sofas positionierbar sondern auch auf einfache Weise abnehmbar.Such a receptacle for a backrest or armrests or an additional device makes it possible to combine any number of backrests, armrests or additional devices with the base frame of the sofa. Both the backrests and the armrests are freely movable and freely adjustable in their position relative to the basic body of the sofa.

Wie der Fig. 1 zu entnehmen ist, besteht das erfindungsgemaesse Sofa oder Sitzgeraet 1 aus einem Grund­koerper, dem Rueckenlehnen 6 zugeordnet sind. Sowohl die Rueckenlehnen 6 als auch die Armlehnen 8 werden von buegelartigen Stuetzen 7 aufgenommen.As can be seen from FIG. 1, the sofa or seating device 1 according to the invention consists of a basic body to which the backrests 6 are assigned. Both the backrests 6 and the armrests 8 are accommodated by bracket-like supports 7.

Der Buegel 7 ist U-foermig ausgebildet und aus Rohrmaterial hergestellt und weist zwei freie Enden 7a auf, die mit den Rueckenlehnen 6 oder den Armlehnen 8 in Wirkverbindung stehen. Der Buegel 7 ist (in Vorderansicht) nicht nur U-foermig oder V-foermig ausgebildet, sondern in Seitenansicht weist der Rohrbuegel auch noch bogenartigen Verlauf auf. Die Spitze 7b des Buegels 7 liegt an der Unterflaeche des Grundkoerpers 3 an, wobei die mit 7c gekennzeichnete Bogenstrecke jedes Buegels 7 auf dem Boden aufliegt.The bracket 7 is U-shaped and made of tubular material and has two free ends 7a which are operatively connected to the backrests 6 or the armrests 8. The bracket 7 is not only U-shaped or V-shaped (in front view), but in side view the tubular bracket also has an arc-shaped course. The tip 7b of the bracket 7 rests on the lower surface of the base body 3, the arc section of each bracket 7 marked 7c resting on the floor.

Durch diese besondere Ausfuehrungsform des Rohrbuegels 7 zur Aufnahme der Rueckenlehne 6 besteht die Moeglichkeit, die Buegelteile 7b, 7c des Buegels 7 unter das plattenfoermig ausgebildete Grundgestell 3 zu schieben. Durch leichte Schwenkbewegung des Endstueckes 7b wird dieses in Anlage mit dem Grundkoerper 3 des Sofas gebracht, wobei das Bogenstueck 7c nach Art eines Schwenkpunktes auf dem Boden aufliegt. Lehnt sich nun der Benuetzer des Sofas gegen die Rueckenlehne 7, so erfolgt aufgrund einer Gegenreaktion des Buegels, dass das Endstueck 7b des Buegels fest gegen den Grundkoerper 3 des Sitzgeraetes gepresst wird. Der einzige Auflagepunkt des Buegels 7 am Boden ist in dem Bogenstueck 7c zu sehen, das als Schwenkpunkt dient, wogegen die freien Armstuecke 7a des Buegels 7 eine elastische, federnede Bewegung der Rueckenlehne 6 zulassen.Due to this special embodiment of the tubular bracket 7 for receiving the backrest 6, it is possible to push the bracket parts 7b, 7c of the bracket 7 under the plate-shaped base frame 3. By slightly pivoting the end piece 7b, it is brought into contact with the basic body 3 of the sofa, the arch piece 7c rests on the floor in the manner of a pivot point. If the user of the sofa now leans against the backrest 7, then due to a backlash of the bracket, the end piece 7b of the bracket is pressed firmly against the base body 3 of the seat device. The only point of contact of the bracket 7 on the floor can be seen in the arch piece 7c, which serves as a pivot point, whereas the free arm pieces 7a of the bracket 7 allow an elastic, springy movement of the backrest 6.

Der Fig. 3 kann ein Sofa 1 entnommen werden, das mit drei Rueckenlehnen 6 ausgeruestet ist, die in unterschiedlicher Winkelstellung gegenueber der Sitzflaeche des Sofas angeordnet sind. Der Fig. 4 kann ein Sofa entnommen werden, das mit einer einzigen Rueckenlehne 6 und an den Schmalseiten des Sofas 1 mit Armlehnen 8, die ebenfalls mit Buegeln 7 ausgeruestet sind, versehen ist. Die Armlehnen 8 koennen auch als Kopfstuetze ausgebildet sein.3 shows a sofa 1 which is equipped with three backrests 6 which are arranged in different angular positions with respect to the seat surface of the sofa. 4, a sofa can be seen which is provided with a single backrest 6 and on the narrow sides of the sofa 1 with armrests 8, which are also equipped with brackets 7. The armrests 8 can also be designed as headrests.

Die Figuren 5 bis 7 zeigen ein Sofa 1 in Ansicht auf die Schmalseite. In Fig. 5 ist die Rueckenlehne 6 ueber der Sitzflaeche 2 angeordnet.Figures 5 to 7 show a sofa 1 in a view of the narrow side. 5, the backrest 6 is arranged above the seat 2.

Der Fig. 6 kann entnommen werden, dass die Rueckenlehne 6 auch auf die Aussenseite der Sitzflaeche 2 verschoben werden kann.FIG. 6 shows that the backrest 6 can also be moved to the outside of the seat surface 2.

Der Fig. 7 kann entnommen werden, wie die Rueckenlehne 6 gegenueber der Grundflaeche des Sofas 1, zum Beispiel fuer Reinigungszwecke, auf Abstand gebracht wurde.7 shows how the backrest 6 compared to the base of the sofa 1, for example for cleaning purposes.

Der Fig. 8 kann entnommen werden, wie die Rueckenlehne 6 ueber den Buegel 7 mit der Grundplatte 3 des Sofas 1 wirkverbunden werden kann. Man kann dieser Zeichnung entnehmen, dass das Ende 7b des Buegels 7 mit der unteren Flaeche der Grundplatte 3 des Sofas in Wirkverbindung steht, die freien Enden 7a des Buegels sind hingegen mit der Rueckenlehne 6 verbunden. Dank der besonderen Ausfuehrungsform des Buegels, der in vorteilhafter Weise aus Rohrmaterial hergestellt ist, besteht bei Aufbringen einer Kraft f auf die Rueckenlehne 6 fuer den Buegel die Moeglichkeit, eine federnde Schwenkbewegung durchzufuehren, aus einer Lage, die mit durchgehenden Linien dargestellt ist, in eine Lage, die mit Strichpunktlinien dargestellt wurde. Somit wird eine erhebliche Steigerung Zunahme des Sitzkomforts bei Benuetzen der Rueckenlehne 6 erzielt.FIG. 8 shows how the backrest 6 can be operatively connected to the base plate 3 of the sofa 1 via the bracket 7. It can be seen from this drawing that the end 7b of the bracket 7 is operatively connected to the lower surface of the base plate 3 of the sofa, while the free ends 7a of the bracket are connected to the backrest 6. Thanks to the special design of the bracket, which is advantageously made of tube material, when a force f is applied to the backrest 6 for the bracket, there is the possibility of performing a resilient pivoting movement from one position, which is represented by solid lines, in one Location that was shown with dashed lines. A significant increase in seating comfort when using the backrest 6 is thus achieved.

Fig. 9 zeigt in perspektivischer Ansicht ein Teilstueck des Grundgestells des Sofas 1, ferner werden noch einmal die Teile 7b des Buegels 7, der U-foermig oder V-foermig ausgebildet ist, dargestellt. Das Ende 7b des Buegels liegt an der Unterseite der Platte 3 des Grundgestells des Sofas an, wogegen das gebogene Teilstueck 7c des Buegels 7 auf dem Boden aufliegt.Fig. 9 shows a perspective view of a part of the base frame of the sofa 1, further the parts 7b of the bracket 7, which is U-shaped or V-shaped, are shown again. The end 7b of the bracket rests on the underside of the plate 3 of the base frame of the sofa, whereas the curved part 7c of the bracket 7 rests on the floor.

In Fig. 9 ist der Buegel 7 mit der Rueckenlehne 6 im Abstand von dem Grundgestell des Sofas 1 zur besseren Darstellung gezeigt.In Fig. 9 the bracket 7 with the backrest 6 in Distance from the base frame of the sofa 1 shown for better illustration.

Den Figuren 10a, 10b und 10c koennen einige moegliche Ausfuehrungsformen des unteren Teilstueckes des Buegels 7 entnommen werden.Figures 10a, 10b and 10c show some possible embodiments of the lower part of the bracket 7.

In vorteilhafter Weise, wie bereits vorher ausgefuehrt, ist der Buegel 7 aus Rohrmaterial hergestellt und die Enden 7a sind mit der Rueckenlehne 6 oder einer Armlehne 8 verbindbar. Der Buegel 7 ist nicht nur U-foermig oder V-foermig ausgebildet, in Seitenansicht weist der Buegel bogenfoermigen Verlauf auf. Es werden somit zwei Bogenstuecke 7c gebildet, mit denen der Buegel 7 auf dem Boden P aufliegt, die vordere Spitze 7b des Buegels liegt an der unteren Flaeche des Grundgestells 3 des Sofas 1 an.In an advantageous manner, as previously stated, the bracket 7 is made of tubular material and the ends 7a can be connected to the backrest 6 or an armrest 8. The bracket 7 is not only U-shaped or V-shaped, in side view the bracket has an arcuate shape. Two arch pieces 7c are thus formed, with which the bracket 7 rests on the floor P, the front tip 7b of the bracket lies against the lower surface of the base frame 3 of the sofa 1.

In Fig. 10a ist ein Buegelende 7b des Buegels 7 mit fast flachem Verlauf dargestellt, es koennte aber auch von Vorteil sein, das Vorderstueck 7c des Buegels 7 gemaess der Darstellung in Fig. 10b mit rundem Verlauf oder aber gemaess Fig. 10c mit spitz zulaufendendem Ende 7c auszubilden. Auch der Bogenverlauf (7b) des Buegels 7 (in Seitenansicht betrachtet) kann in seinem Kurvenverlauf an besondere Beduerfnisse angepasst werden.FIG. 10a shows a temple end 7b of the temple 7 with an almost flat course, but it could also be advantageous to have the front piece 7c of the temple 7 according to the representation in FIG. 10b with a round course or according to FIG. 10c with a tapering Train end 7c. The curve shape (7b) of the bracket 7 (viewed in side view) can also be adapted to special needs in its curve shape.

In Fig. 11 ist das Sofa 1 in einer Vorderansicht dargestellt. Die Rueckenlehnen 6, die in diesem Fall ovale Form aufweisen, werden von Buegeln 7 aufgenommen und man kann deutlich erkennen, wie die Bogenstuecke 7c jedes Buegels 7 auf dem Boden P aufliegen. Das Endstueck 7b des Buegels liegt hingegen an der Unterseite des Grundgestells 3 des Sofas 1 an. Aufgrund des Eigengewichts der Rueckenlehne 6 erfolgt stets eine Belastung des Buegels 7, die zu einer Verschwenkung des Buegels um die Schwenkpunkte 7c fuehrt, wodurch das Buegelende 7b nach oben verschwenkt wird und gegen die untere Flaeche des Grundgestells 3 des Sofas 1 gedrueckt wird.11 shows the sofa 1 in a front view. The backrests 6, which in this case are oval Having shape are picked up by brackets 7 and it can be clearly seen how the arch pieces 7c of each bracket 7 lie on the floor P. The end piece 7b of the bracket, however, rests on the underside of the base frame 3 of the sofa 1. Due to the weight of the backrest 6, there is always a load on the bracket 7, which leads to a pivoting of the bracket about the pivot points 7c, as a result of which the bracket end 7b is pivoted upward and is pressed against the lower surface of the base frame 3 of the sofa 1.

In Fig. 12 ist ein Sofa 1 in Vorderansicht dargestellt. Das Sofa 1 ist mit Rueckenlehnen 6 ausgeruestet, die rechteckige Form haben. Das Sofa gemaess Fig. 12 ist in Fig. 13 noch einmal in Draufsicht dargestellt.In Fig. 12 a sofa 1 is shown in front view. The sofa 1 is equipped with backrests 6, which have a rectangular shape. The sofa according to FIG. 12 is shown again in a top view in FIG. 13.

In Fig. 14 ist das Sofa gemaess Fig. 11 in Kombination mit seitlich angeordneten Armlehnen oder Kopfstuetzen 8 dargestellt.14 shows the sofa according to FIG. 11 in combination with armrests or headrests 8 arranged on the side.

In Fig. 15 ist ein Sofa gemaess Fig. 12 mit seitlich angeordneten Armstuetzen oder Kopfstuetzen 8 dargestellt. Das Sofa 1 gemaess Fig. 15 ist in Fig. 16 noch einmal in Draufsicht dargestellt.15 shows a sofa according to FIG. 12 with armrests or headrests 8 arranged on the side. The sofa 1 according to FIG. 15 is shown again in a top view in FIG. 16.

Dem Detail nach Fig. 17 kann ein Teilstueck des Sofas 1 entnommen werden. Das Sofa 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Grundgestell 3, das eine Polsterung 2 in Form einer Matratze oder eines Kissens aufnimmt. Das Sofa 1 wird von Stuetzfuessen 4 aufgenommen, die ueber Schrauben 9 mit dem Grundgestell 3 verbunden sind. Die Armlehne 8 (analog der Rueckenstuetze 6) besteht aus einem Formteil aus Polyurethan 10 oder aehnlichem weich-elastischem Material, das mit einer Stuetzplatte 11 verbunden ist, die am Buegel 7 besfestigt ist. Der Buegel 7 weist in Vorderansicht entsprechend dem Pfeil L U-foermige oder V-foermige Gestalt auf, in Seitenansicht, wie aus Fig. 17 ersichtlich, weist der Buegel bogenfoermigen Verlauf auf. Der Buegel 7 ist derartig geschweift, dass zwei frei Enden 7a gebildet werden, die mit der Armlehne 8 oder einer Rueckenlehne 6 in Wirkverbindung stehen. Das Endstueck 7b des Buegels 7 liegt an der unteren Flaeche des Grundgestells 3, das von Stuetzfuessen 4 getragen wird, an. Die Bogenstuecke 7c des Buegels 7 ruhen auf dem Fussboden P.A part of the sofa 1 can be seen from the detail according to FIG. 17. The sofa 1 consists essentially of a base frame 3, which receives a padding 2 in the form of a mattress or a pillow. The sofa 1 is from Support feet 4 added, which are connected by screws 9 to the base frame 3. The armrest 8 (analogous to the backrest 6) consists of a molded part made of polyurethane 10 or similar soft-elastic material which is connected to a support plate 11 which is fastened to the bracket 7. The bracket 7 has a U-shaped or V-shaped shape in the front view according to the arrow L. In a side view, as can be seen from FIG. 17, the bracket has an arcuate shape. The bow 7 is curved in such a way that two free ends 7a are formed, which are operatively connected to the armrest 8 or a backrest 6. The end piece 7b of the bracket 7 lies against the lower surface of the base frame 3, which is supported by support feet 4. The arch pieces 7c of the bracket 7 rest on the floor P.

Um zu vermeiden, dass der Buegel 7 unbeabsichtigt verschoben wird oder dass der Buegel eine ungewollte Rutschbewegung auf dem Boden P ausfuehrt, sind am Bogenstueck 7c des Bogens 7 Ummantelungen 12 angeordnet, die zum Beispiel wendelartig um das Bogenstueck 7c gelegt sind. Die Ummantelungen 12 bestehen aus rutschfestem Material, zum Beispiel aus Gummi oder Kunststoff. Durch Vorsehen der Ummantelung 12 wird erreicht, dass das Bogenstueck 7c des Bogens 7 einen sicheren standfesten Schwenkpunkt fuer die Rueckenlehne oder die Armlehne 8 bildet.In order to avoid that the bracket 7 is inadvertently shifted or that the bracket performs an unwanted sliding movement on the floor P, sheaths 12 are arranged on the arch piece 7c of the arch 7, which are arranged, for example, helically around the arch piece 7c. The sheaths 12 are made of non-slip material, for example rubber or plastic. Providing the sheathing 12 ensures that the arch piece 7c of the arch 7 provides a secure, stable pivot point for the backrest or the armrest 8 forms.

Bei Krafteinwirkung auf die Armlehne bzw. die Rueckenlehne 6 wird durch die Schwenkbewegung der beiden Arme 7a des Buegels 7 kein Verrutschen des Buegels 7 auf dem Boden P hervorgerufen, sondern, dank der rutschfesten Ummantelung 12 bleibt der Buegel in seiner gewuenschten Stellung, es erfolgt aber ein Uebertragen einer Reaktionskraft auf das Buegelende 7b, worauf dieses fest gegen die Unterseite des Grundgestelles 3 gedrueckt wird. Sollte es erforderlich sein, so koennte auch das Endstueck 7b des Buegels 7 mit einer rutschfesten Ummantelung 12 versehen sein.When force is exerted on the armrest or the backrest 6, the pivoting movement of the two arms 7a of the bracket 7 does not cause the bracket 7 to slide on the floor P, but, thanks to the non-slip covering 12, the bracket remains in its desired position, but it does occur transferring a reaction force to the temple end 7b, whereupon the latter is pressed firmly against the underside of the base frame 3. Should it be necessary, the end piece 7b of the bracket 7 could also be provided with a non-slip covering 12.
