Definitions
- the invention relates to seating furniture with a seat and a backrest with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- Seating furniture has become known in many embodiments and variants. There are those in which the seat surface and the backrest are firmly connected to one another or are designed in one piece. Then it is also known to store the backrest adjustable in relation to the seat surface or to arrange the seat surface and backrest to be pivotable in relation to the armchair frame, the mechanism provided for this purpose being able to be designed in such a way that the seat surface and backrest move through angles of different sizes when they are adjusted. If adjustment options are provided, these must generally be operated arbitrarily for adjustment.
- the seat and backrest are adjustable against each other.
- AT-PS 136 657 shows and describes a deck chair that is swingably suspended between two supports.
- This deck chair has a seat, a back and a foot part, these three parts forming the deck chair being connected to one another via hinges.
- the free mobility of these parts against each other is prevented by a parallelogram steering gear, consisting of five levers, one of which is formed by the lower section of the backrest and another is formed by a section of the footrest.
- Each adjustment of the backrest also causes an adjustment of the foot section or vice versa.
- This deck chair is suspended from a support frame via two handlebars with a common articulation point. One handlebar attacks the seat, the other handlebar the backrest. Due to the construction described above, the person using this deck chair has to adapt his posture to the position of the footrest and backrest which are forcibly guided against one another. This is not considered appropriate.
- deck chair according to US Pat. No. 2,717,630 should also be mentioned, which consists of several frame parts, the individual frame parts being brought together, so that the adjustment or pivoting of one frame part necessitates that of the others.
- the invention is based and it aims to design a piece of seating furniture of the type mentioned in such a way that it automatically adapts to the posture adopted by the user and thus offers the user optimum seating comfort, so that To actually relax the body of the user and not, as in all other known and proven constructions, the body of the user has to adapt to the seating furniture.
- the invention proposes those measures before, the subject and content of the characterizing part of claim 1.
- 1, 2 and 3 show a side view of a schematically illustrated piece of seating furniture of a first exemplary embodiment, but with different relative positions of the parts of the seating piece relative to one another; 4, 5 and 6 show three further exemplary embodiments in the same representation; Figure 7 illustrates a detail.
- a seat 1 to 3 has a seat 1, on the rear edge of which is articulated via a freely movable hinge 2, a backrest 3.
- a footrest part 4 also fastened by means of a freely movable hinge 5, which is supported with its lower end directly on the floor 6.
- small rollers or rollers are expediently provided on the foot part, so that the supported lower end of this foot rest part 4 can roll relative to the floor 6.
- the furniture frame 7 is indicated by a thin line, the upper, curved boundary edge 8 of which forms an armrest or an arm support surface.
- the articulation points 12 and 13 of these links are fixed in place on the furniture frame 7 and are preferably arranged in the region of the armrest. All articulation points and handlebars are provided in pairs and are one behind the other at right angles to the plane of the drawing.
- the front, downward-looking link 9 is attached to the pivot point 14 in the front region, preferably in the front third of the seat 1.
- the articulation point 15 of the rear link 10 connected to the seat 1 is close to the hinge 2.
- the third link 11, which has the same articulation point 13 with the last-mentioned link 10 on the furniture frame 7, is connected to the backrest 3 via the articulation point 16.
- the front articulation point 12 can also be arranged on the furniture frame 7 in an adjustable manner in the plane of the drawing.
- These links 9, 10 and 11 are designed as belt straps or as ropes or as chains, which may be adjustable in length. Such handlebars should be given preference over rigid handlebars because such straps can easily accommodate load changes. Tension springs can also be used as handlebars.
- the distance of the articulation point 16 of the link 11 articulated on the backrest 3 from the hinge 2 is approximately as large, preferably somewhat smaller than the distance of the articulation point 14 of the front link 9 on the seat surface 1 from the hinge 2 mentioned.
- the length of the arranged on the backrest 3 Handlebar 11 is only a fraction of the length of the hinge-near handlebar 10. This handlebar 11 is only 1/4 to 1/3 as long as the handlebar 10.
- the mutual distance between the furniture-frame-side, fixed articulation points 12 and 13 of the handlebars 9, 10 and 11 is smaller than the depth of the seat 1.
- the seat 1 and the backrest 3 are suspended in a pendulum manner in the furniture frame 7 together with the footrest part 4. 1 illustrates the starting or rest position, so to speak, these parts assume different relative positions to one another, depending on how the user of this piece of furniture shifts his center of gravity, which is illustrated by FIGS. 2 and 3.
- Seat part 1 and backrest 3 can be adjusted against each other to such an extent that they form a flat lying surface.
- the foot part 4 is always pulled along, since here in the exemplary embodiment shown this foot part 4 is articulated on the seat part 1 via a freely movable hinge.
- the footrest part 4 can be arbitrarily adjusted relative to the seat part and can also be locked in the respectively set position. Furthermore, it is within the scope of the invention to omit the foot part 4 or to make the connection provided here between the foot rest part 4 and the seat part 1 detachable, so that, according to the respective needs of the user, this foot rest part 4 can be added or also removed.
- a manually operable locking lever in the furniture frame 7 such that it can be displaced or rotated, which can be brought into operative connection with the seat surface 1 and / or with the backrest 3. This makes it possible to lock these parts in relation to the furniture frame despite the freely oscillating mounting of seat part 1 and backrest 3 in the furniture frame 7.
- This locking device can be designed so that the parts can only be locked in a single predetermined position, or else so that these parts can be fixed in any relative position to each other.
- the furniture frame 7 is only indicated by an outline contour. It is useful to design the armrests of the furniture frame 7 so that they spring somewhat in the vertical plane. In such a case, the armrests are manufactured as curved metal rails or metal tubes or from curved wooden parts.
- the articulation points 13 or the straight line connecting them at right angles to the plane of the drawing are the axis about which the backrest 3 can be pivoted. Basically, it is possible to shorten the handlebar 11 so far that this axis falls in the plane of line 3.
- seat 1, backrest 3 and footrest part 4 are shown schematically as straight lines, and so on to make the invention clear.
- these parts are designed in accordance with the standard of the relevant craftsmanship: they are upholstered, covered with fabric or leather, stitched or contoured.
- the seating furniture according to the invention is not subject to any restriction.
- FIGS. 4 to 6 are readily understandable taking into account what has been said above and do not require any further explanation here.
- the suspension point 12 can also be provided on a ceiling or on a ceiling beam, so that the seating furniture shown here does not necessarily require a furniture frame in the sense of the above statements .
- an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, can also have a furniture frame which will generally be designed in the manner of a so-called garden swing.
- a locking means may possibly be provided on the hinges 2 and 5, which blocks the mobility of these hinges 2 and 5, especially when the seating furniture is not in use, so that the furniture can assume the positions of the parts shown to one another, even if they are not used as intended.
- These locking means can be designed so that they only allow a predetermined angular position of the parts or so that possibly several angular positions can be freely selected.
- the handlebars 9, 10 and 11 which are designed as belts, can undergo any load changes, which greatly increases the mobility of the parts against one another. If these straps are also adjustable in length, the owner of such seating furniture has the option of adapting it to his needs to an extremely high degree.
- the handlebar 11 can be lengthened or shortened, which also applies to the other two handlebars 9 and 10, so that the starting position or rest position of the parts forming the seating furniture can be set at one's own discretion.
