The invention creates a piece of furniture that is optimal both visually and in terms of the comfort achieved. As a bed, it shows the right one Height, can be provided with a suspension like in normal beds, whereby the bed cover is automatically covered when converting to a bed. The bedding is also pulled in automatically when it is converted back into seating. The furniture according to the invention can be provided with a large and easily accessible bedding room and is extremely easy to use. Despite all these advantages, the production is simple and therefore also cheap. The invention is described in more detail below with reference to two exemplary embodiments, without being restricted to these examples.
Es zeigen: Fig. 1 die teilweise geschnittene Seitenansicht eines erfindungsgemäßen Möbels in der Sitzstellung; Fig. 2 das Möbel in Seitenansicht in der Liegestellung; Fig. 3 eine teilweise Draufsicht auf das Möbel nach Fig. 2, die Fig. 4 einen Schnitt nach der Linie IV-IV in Fig. 3; die Fig. 5 und 6 Seiten¬ ansichten des Möbels in verschiedenen Zwischenstellungen und Fig. 7 die Seitenansicht einer zweiten Ausfuhrungsform. Gemäß den Fig. 1 bis 6 weist ein erfindungsgemäßes Möbel ein Möbelgestell mit zwei Seitenwänden 1 und einer Rückwand 2 auf. Die Oberkanten der Seitenwände 1 sind als Führungen 3 für Rollen 4 ausgebildet, die an einem Ende eines mit einer Polsterung 5 versehenen Sitzgestelles 6 angeordnet sind. Das Sitzgestell 6 weist an seinem den Rollen 4 gegenüber liegendem Ende Füsse 8 auf, die mit Rollen 7 versehen sind. Aus Fig. 1 ist ersichtlich, daß die Rollen 7 in der Sitzstellung nicht am Boden aufruhen.1 shows the partially sectioned side view of a piece of furniture according to the invention in the sitting position; Figure 2 shows the furniture in side view in the lying position. Fig. 3 is a partial plan view of the furniture of Figure 2, Figure 4 is a section along the line IV-IV in Fig. 3. 5 and 6 side views of the furniture in various intermediate positions and FIG. 7 the side view of a second embodiment. 1 to 6, a piece of furniture according to the invention has a furniture frame with two side walls 1 and a rear wall 2. The upper edges of the side walls 1 are designed as guides 3 for rollers 4, which are arranged at one end of a seat frame 6 provided with upholstery 5. The seat frame 6 has feet 8 at its end opposite the rollers 4, which are provided with rollers 7. From Fig. 1 it can be seen that the rollers 7 do not rest on the floor in the sitting position.
Ein gepolstertes Gestell 10 ist mittels seitlicher Arme 9 bei 9' am Sitzgestell 6 schwenkbar gelagert. Dieses Gestell 10 ist mit Füssen 11 versehen und dient in der Sitzstellung des Möbels als Rückenlehne und als Endpolster der Liegefläche in der Liegestellung. Zur Vereinfachung wird im Folgenden dieses Gestell als Rückenlehne 10 bezeichnet. In Fig. 1 ist veranschaulicht, daß auch eine Ausbildung als Hochlehner möglich ist. Die zugehörige Rückenlehne ist mit 10' bezeichnet.A padded frame 10 is pivotally mounted on the seat frame 6 by means of lateral arms 9 at 9 '. This frame 10 is provided with feet 11 and serves in the seating position of the furniture as a backrest and as an end cushion for the lying surface in the lying position. For simplification, this frame is referred to below as the backrest 10. In Fig. 1 it is illustrated that training as a high back is also possible. The associated backrest is designated 10 '.
An der Unterseite jedes Sitzgestelles 6 ist an jeder Seite eine Rolle 12 befestigt, welche in der Sitzstellung des Möbels auf der Führung 3 aufliegt. Zwei auf der Vorderseite des Möbelgestelles befestigte, den Rollen 12 zugeordnete Keile 13 bewirken, daß beim Ausfahren des Sitzgestelles 6 dieses abgesenkt wird, bis die Rollen 7 am Boden aufruhen. Umgekehrt wird beim Einfahren des Sitzgestelles 6 in die in Fig. 1 gezeichnete Stellung dieses gehoben, so daß zwischen Boden und Füßen 8 bzw. Rollen 7 ein freier Raum verbleibt. Dies verstärkt den Eindruck eines grazilen Möbels, insbesondere in Wohnlandschaften. Die Führungen 3 sind sowohl vorne als auch hinten nach unten abgeschrägt.On the underside of each seat frame 6, a roller 12 is attached on each side, which rests on the guide 3 in the seating position of the furniture. Two wedges 13 attached to the front of the furniture frame, assigned to the rollers 12, cause the seat frame 6 to be lowered when the seat frame 6 is extended until the Rest rollers 7 on the floor. Conversely, when the seat frame 6 is retracted into the position shown in FIG. 1, it is raised so that a free space remains between the floor and feet 8 or rollers 7. This reinforces the impression of a delicate piece of furniture, especially in residential landscapes. The guides 3 are bevelled downwards both at the front and at the rear.
Die hintere Abschrägung bewirkt, wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist, daß die Rollen 4 und damit das hintere Ende des Sitzgestelles 6 in der Sitzstellung des Möbels nach unten abgesenkt wird, sodaß eine schräge Sitzfläche (Polsterung 5) gebildet wird. Die vordere Abschrägung der Führungen 3 kommt beim Vorziehen des Sitzgestelles 6 zur Wirkung, indem die Rollen 4 je in einer durch diese Abschrägung und Anschläge 18 gebildeten Vertiefung gehalten sind.The rear bevel causes, as can be seen from Fig. 1, that the rollers 4 and thus the rear end of the seat frame 6 is lowered in the seating position of the furniture, so that an inclined seat (upholstery 5) is formed. The front bevel of the guides 3 comes into effect when the seat frame 6 is pulled forward, in that the rollers 4 are each held in a depression formed by this bevel and stops 18.
In den Seitenwänden 1 des Möbelgestells sind Schlitze 14 angeordnet, die als Führungen für Rollen 15 dienen, die an den Enden von Armen 16 vorgesehen sind. Das andere Ende der Arme 16 ist an einem weiteren Polster 17 befestigt. Die Schlitze 14 verlaufen nach unten gegen die Rückwand 2 hin, um eine Bewegung des Polsters 17 von seiner Sitzstellung in die Liegestellung zu unterstützen.In the side walls 1 of the furniture frame slots 14 are arranged, which serve as guides for rollers 15, which are provided at the ends of arms 16. The other end of the arms 16 is attached to another pad 17. The slots 14 run down towards the rear wall 2 in order to support a movement of the cushion 17 from its sitting position into the lying position.
Längs der hinteren unteren Seite des Sitzgestelles 6 ist ein Selbstroller 20 angeordnet, auf dem in der Sitzstellung des Möbels eine Bettbespannung 21 aufgewickelt ist. Das nicht aufgerollte Ende der Bettbespannung 21 ist auf einer Leiste 22 der Rückenlehne 10 befestigt. Zweckmäßig besteht die Bettbespannung 21 aus zwei Teilen, nämlich einer Steppdecke mit Weichfüllung und einem Bettuch (Leintuch). Das Bettuch ist vorteilhaft abnehmbar an der Steppdecke befestigt, um es zur Reinung leicht abnehmen zu können. Als Befestigung hat sich ein Klettverschluß bewährt. Wenn das Möbel aus seiner in Fig. 1 ersichtlichen Sitzstellung in dieAlong the rear lower side of the seat frame 6 there is a self-roller 20 on which a bed cover 21 is wound in the seating position of the piece of furniture. The unrolled end of the bed cover 21 is attached to a bar 22 of the backrest 10. The bed cover 21 expediently consists of two parts, namely a quilt with soft filling and a sheet (sheet). The bed sheet is advantageously attached to the quilt so that it can be easily removed for cleaning. A Velcro fastener has proven its worth. When the furniture from its seat shown in Fig. 1 in the
Liegestellung nach den Fig. 2 und 3 gebracht wird, werden die Rückenlehne 10 und damit die Arme 9 nach vorne verschwenkt und auf das Sitzgestell 6 aufgelegt, das dann mit der Rückenlehne 10 ausgezogen wird. Nun wird die Rückenlehne 10 weiter verschwenkt und mittels der Füsse 1 1 am Boden abgestützt. Schließlich wird der Polster 17 in die horizontale Stellung verschwenkt, wobei er sich über die Rollen 15 im Schlitz 14 schräg nach unten bewegt und um die Rollen 15 schwenkt. Bei der Verschwenkung der Rückenlehne 10 wird das Ende der Bettbespannung 21 mitgenommen und diese vom Selbstroller 20 abgerollt sowie über den Polster 5 und die Rückenlehne 10 gelegt. Um die Reibung zwischen dem Polster 5 und der Bettbespannung 21 möglichst klein zu halten, ist es zweckmäßig, den Polster 5 in dem von der Rückenlehne 10 überdeckten Bereich mit einem glatten Stoff 30 zu überziehen. Der vordere Teil des Polsters 5 wird in üblicher Weise mit einem Möbelstoff 31 überzogen. Da Möbelstoffe im allgemeinen teuer sind, wird hiedurch nicht nur eine Reibungsverminderung sondern auch eine Ersparnis erzielt. Wenn der Polster 17 beginnt nach unten zu schwenken, bewegen sich die2 and 3, the backrest 10 and thus the arms 9 are pivoted forward and placed on the seat frame 6, which is then pulled out with the backrest 10. Now the backrest 10 is pivoted further and is supported on the floor by means of the feet 11. Finally, the cushion 17 is pivoted into the horizontal position, whereby it moves obliquely downwards over the rollers 15 in the slot 14 and pivots about the rollers 15. When the backrest 10 is pivoted, the end of the bed cover 21 is taken along and rolled off the self-roller 20 and placed over the cushion 5 and the backrest 10. In order to keep the friction between the cushion 5 and the bed cover 21 as small as possible, it is expedient to cover the cushion 5 with a smooth material 30 in the area covered by the backrest 10. The front part of the cushion 5 is covered with a furniture fabric 31 in the usual way. Since upholstery fabrics are generally expensive, this not only reduces friction but also saves them. When the cushion 17 begins to pivot down, the move

Dies kann zusätzlich durch die Anordnung von Federn (nicht dargestellt) an den Armen 16 unterstützt werden.Rollers 15 back along slot 14, thereby facilitating the downward movement of pad 17. This can additionally be supported by the arrangement of springs (not shown) on the arms 16.
Die zweifach schwenkbar gelagerten Arme 9 halten das Sitzgestell 6 und die Rückenlehne 10 im Abstand zueinander. An einem Ende der Arme 9 sind diese schwenkbar mit der Rückenlehne 10 verbunden, derart, daß diese in der Liegestellung so nahe wie möglich beim hinteren Ende der Rückenlehne 10 liegt.The arms 9, which can be pivoted twice, keep the seat frame 6 and the backrest 10 at a distance from one another. At one end of the arms 9, these are pivotally connected to the backrest 10 in such a way that in the lying position this is as close as possible to the rear end of the backrest 10.
Die Arme 9 sind dabei schwenkbar mit Metallplatten 40 verbunden, die entlang der Seitenkanten des Sitzgestelles 6 derart angeordnet sind, daß sie einen Benutzer in der Sitzstellung nicht stören. Die Platten 40 sind mit einem Paar von Anschlägen versehen, wobei der erste Anschlag 42 die Rückenlehne 10 in der Sitzstellung und der zweite Anschlag 44 die Rückenlehne 10 in der Liegestellung sichert. Die Anschläge 42, 44 sind derart zur Abstützung der Arme 9 in der Sitz- und Liegestellung ausgebildet, daß nur ein verhältnismäßig geringer Druck über die Achsen in den Platten 40 übertragen wird.The arms 9 are pivotally connected to metal plates 40 which are arranged along the side edges of the seat frame 6 such that they do not disturb a user in the sitting position. The plates 40 are provided with a pair of stops, the first stop 42 securing the backrest 10 in the sitting position and the second stop 44 securing the backrest 10 in the lying position. The stops 42, 44 are designed to support the arms 9 in the sitting and lying position so that only a relatively low pressure is transmitted via the axes in the plates 40.
Das Möbel wird in umgekehrter Richtung in die Sitzstellung verbracht, wobei vorerst der Polster 17 gehoben wird und dann sehr leicht in seine vertikale Stellung gelangt. Anschließend wird die Rückenlehne 10 gehoben, und auf das Sitzgestell 6 aufgelegt (Fig. 5). Zur Erzielung eines hohen Liegekomforts weist der Polster 17The furniture is moved in the opposite direction into the sitting position, the cushion 17 being lifted for the time being and then very easily getting into its vertical position. Then the backrest 10 is raised and placed on the seat frame 6 (FIG. 5). In order to achieve a high level of lying comfort, the cushion 17
Federholzleisten 50 auf. Auch die Rückenlehne 10 ist mit Federholzleisten 51, 52 versehen, die bei einem Doppelbett in der Mitte des Möbels auf einem Träger 53 abgestützt sind. Das in der Liegestellung dem Polster 17 zugewendete Ende des Trägers 53 ist über ein Z-förmiges Profil 54 und eine Schichtholzleiste 55 auf einer nach oben gewölbten Federholzleiste 56 abgestützt. Diese stützt sich auf einen Querträger 57 ab. Dadurch wird eine optimale Federung erreicht.Spring slats 50 on. The backrest 10 is also made of wooden slats 51, 52 provided, which are supported on a double bed in the middle of the furniture on a support 53. The end of the carrier 53 facing the cushion 17 in the lying position is supported by a Z-shaped profile 54 and a laminated wood strip 55 on an upwardly curved spring wood strip 56. This is based on a cross member 57. This ensures optimal suspension.
Wenn die Rückenlehne 10 gegen ihre Sitzstellung dreht, und die Arme 9 im wesentlichen vertikal verlaufen, ist die Bettbespannung 21 frei und kann durch den Selbstroller 20 zurückgezogen werden, bevor die Rückenlehne 10 ihre in Fig. 6 gezeigte Sitzstellung erreicht. Nähern sich nämlich die Arme 9 einer vertikalen Stellung, wird die Rückenlehne 10 von der Polsterung 5 des Sitzgestelles 6 gehoben, sodaß das Zurückziehen der Bettbespannung 21 durch den Selbstroller 20 nicht behindert wird. Der Selbstroller 20 ist mit einem Federmechanismus ausgestattet, der stark genug ist, um die Bettbespannung 21 zurückzuziehen.When the backrest 10 rotates against its sitting position and the arms 9 run essentially vertically, the bed cover 21 is free and can be pulled back by the self-roller 20 before the backrest 10 reaches its sitting position shown in FIG. 6. If the arms 9 approach a vertical position, the backrest 10 is lifted from the upholstery 5 of the seat frame 6, so that the retraction of the bed cover 21 is not hindered by the self-roller 20. The self-roller 20 is equipped with a spring mechanism that is strong enough to retract the bed cover 21.
In Fig. 7 ist ein zweites Ausfuhrungsbeispiel dargestellt, das ein Sitzgestell 60 und eine Rückenlehne 100 aufweist. Die Rückenlehne 100 ist um Schwenkarme 109 bewegbar, die die Teile 60, 100 miteinander verbinden. Beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Sitzgestell 106 über Füße 107 am Boden abgestützt. Es wäre aber auch möglich, das Sitzgestell 106 über einen Springaufbeschlag auf einem Bettkasten zu lagern. So wie beim vorstehenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Rückenlehne 100 mit einem Selbstroller 120 für die Ausgabe und den Rückzug einer Bettbespannung 121 versehen.
