Definitions

  • 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 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.
  • 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.
  • Sofas or seating devices have also become known. which have a shell-shaped basic body to create a surface 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.
  • a conventional sofa of this type has the disadvantage that it has a rigid structure. which 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.
  • a sofa with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known, in which a backrest, which extends over the entire length of the seat, over two laterally arranged, angularly bent bearing arms on the floor and supported on the underside of the sofa frame.
  • a backrest which extends over the entire length of the seat, over two laterally arranged, angularly bent bearing arms on the floor and supported on the underside of the sofa frame.
  • the backrest can only be placed at a distance from the seat surface, but the backrest itself cannot be positioned anywhere in relation to the seat surface.
  • a fixed connection between the backrest and base frame is also provided.
  • 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.
  • This task is solved with a sofa or a seat device in that the free ends of a U-shaped or V-shaped bracket are connected to each backrest or additional device, that the bracket has a curved profile in side view and with two support points on the floor and with the end piece pointing upwards against the underside of the base frame.
  • 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.
  • the backrests and armrests are given a spring effect, the backrests or armrests can not only be positioned anywhere in relation to the basic body of the sofa, but can also be easily removed.
  • the assignable to the basic body of the seat device exist z. B. from a horizontally arranged storage surface with cer the free ends of the bracket are operatively connected, for example to create a table, a storage surface, a support or a receptacle for a lighting body.
  • the sofa or seating device 1 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the end piece 7b is brought into contact with the basic body 3 of the sofa by a slight pivoting movement, the bow piece 7c resting on the floor in the manner of a pivot point. If the user of the sofa now leans against the backrest 7, there is a backlash of the bracket that 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.
  • a sofa 1 can be seen which is equipped with three backrests 6, which are arranged in different angles relative to the seat of the sofa.
  • 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.
  • Figures 5 to 7 show a sofa 1 in a view of the narrow side. 5, the backrest 6 is arranged above the seat surface 2.
  • FIG. 6 shows that the backrest 6 can also be moved to the outside of the seat surface 2.
  • FIG. 7 shows how the backrest 6 was set apart from the base surface of the sofa 1, for example for cleaning purposes.
  • 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 tubular material, when a force f is applied to the backrest 6 for the bracket, there is the possibility of carrying out a resilient pivoting movement from a position which is represented by solid lines in one Position that was shown with dashed lines. A significant increase in seating comfort when using the backrest 6 is thus achieved.
  • 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.

  • FIG. 11 shows the sofa 1 in a front view.
  • the backrests 6, which in this case have an oval shape, are received by brackets 7 and it can clearly be seen how the arch pieces 7c of each bracket 7 rest on the floor P.
  • the end piece 7b of the bracket 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, whereby the bracket end 7b is pivoted upwards and is pressed against the lower surface of the base frame 3 of the sofa 1.
