Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Sitzmöbel mit einem Grundgestell sowie mit wenigstens einer Rückenlehne, mit wenigstens einer Sitzfläche und mit wenigstens einer Armlehne.The invention relates to seating with a base frame and with at least one backrest, with at least one Seat and with at least one armrest.

Ein solches Sitzmöbel ist insbesondere in Form eines Sofas oder eines Sessels allgemein bekannt. Das Sitzmöbel weist wenigstens ein Rückenpolster und wenigstens ein Sitzpolster auf, die auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten von jeweils einer gepolsterten Armlehne flankiert sind. Um den Sitzkomfort zu erhöhen, kann vor dem Sitzmöbel ein Hocker bereitgestellt werden, auf dem die auf dem Sitzmöbel befindliche Person die Füße ablegen kann.Such seating is particularly in the form of a sofa or a chair commonly known. The seating furniture has at least a back cushion and at least one seat cushion on, the opposite sides of one padded Armrest are flanked. To increase the seating comfort, can a stool be provided in front of the seating, on which the person sitting on the seating furniture has his feet can drop.

Es ist auch bereits bekannt (D 43 03 636 C1), einen Sessel mit einem Hocker zu versehen, der an der Sesselunterseite beweglich geführt ist. Dieser Hocker ist zwischen einer seitlich neben dem Sessel befindlichen Position und einer die Sitzfläche des Sitzpolsters verlängernden, als Fußauflage dienenden Position beweglich. Der Sessel weist keine Armlehnen auf.It is also already known (D 43 03 636 C1), an armchair to be provided with a stool that can be moved on the underside of the armchair is led. This stool is between one side position next to the armchair and one the Extending the seat of the seat cushion as a footrest serving position movable. The armchair has no armrests on.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Sitzmöbel der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, das in einfacher und raumsparender Weise einen variablen Sitzkomfort ermöglicht. The object of the invention is a piece of seating of the type mentioned Way of creating that in simple and space-saving Way a variable seating comfort.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Armlehne an dem Grundgestell mit Hilfe einer Kinematikanordnung zwischen einer die stationär verbleibende Sitzfläche seitlich flankierenden, gegenüber der Sitzfläche erhöhten Armlehnposition und einer die Sitzfläche auf der der Rückenlehne gegenüberliegenden Seite verlängernden Fußstützposition beweglich gelagert ist. Dadurch weist die Armlehne eine vorteilhafte Doppelfunktion auf, indem sie entweder für das Aufstützen eines Armes oder als Fußauflage vorgesehen ist. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung ist es somit, daß die Armlehne in jeder Position eine sinnvolle Funktion aufweist. Dies ist ein wesentlicher Unterschied zum Stand der Technik, bei dem der Hocker in einer nicht benötigten Ruhelage dennoch Stellraum benötigt. Durch das erfindungsgemäße Versehen der Armlehne mit einer Doppelfunktion ist das Sitzmöbel sowohl für Sofas und Sessel als auch für andere Arten von Sitzmöbeln wie Stühle oder Bänke geeignet. Die ästhetische Gestaltung des jeweiligen Sitzmöbels ist nicht abhängig von der Anordnung einer Fußablage, so daß sich eine höhere gestalterische Freiheit für das erfindungsgemäße Sitzmöbel erzielen läßt. Zusätzliche Funktionsteile werden durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung vermieden, indem die Armlehne in einfacher Weise die beschriebene Doppelfunktion aufweist. Die Beweglichkeit der Armlehne mittels der Kinematikanordnung kann dabei vielfältig gestaltet sein. Die Armlehne kann über mehrstufige Bewegungsbahnen in die Fußstützposition oder in die Armlehnposition bewegt werden. Dabei können Schwenkvorgänge für sich vorgesehen oder mit entsprechenden Hub- oder Senkbewegungen kombiniert sein. Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Kippbewegung der Armlehne, die jedoch zusätzlich ebenfalls mit weiteren Bewegungsfunktionen kombiniert sein kann. Es können auch mechanische, gekrümmte Führungsbahnen vorgesehen sein, entlang derer die in dieser Führungsbahn geführte Armlehne beweglich ist. Wesentlich ist dabei lediglich die Überwindung der Höhendifferenz relativ zur Sitzfläche zwischen der erhöhten Armlehnposition und der zumindest geringfügig abgesenkte Fußstützposition. Zur Verlagerung der Armlehne in die Armlehnposition und die Fußstützposition können auch Hebelmechanismen vorgesehen sein. Die erhöhte Armlehnposition kann durch eine Schrägstellung der Armlehne oder zumindest der Oberseite der Armlehne in der Armlehnposition erzielt werden, ohne daß notwendigerweise die gesamte Armlehne entsprechend höhenverlagert werden muß. Durch eine exzentrische Lagerung der Armlehne in Verbindung mit einem trapezartigen Querschnitt der Armlehne oder einer anders gestalteten winkligen Anordnung der Ebenen der Oberseite und der Unterseite der Armlehne kann durch eine einfache Kippbewegung der gewünschte Höhenunterschied erzielt werden, indem in der einen Endposition die schräggestellte Ebene der einen Seite als Armauflage und in der anderen Position die flache Ebene der gegenüberliegenden Seite die Fußauflage bildet. Bei der Gestaltung des Sitzmöbels als Sofa sind vorteilhaft beide Armlehnen erfindungsgemäß beweglich. In den Fußstützpositionen beider Armlehnen kann dabei zwischen den beiden Armlehnen ein Abstand verbleiben, der ein einfaches Aufstehen von der Sitzfläche des Sofas aus ermöglicht. Das Grundgestell kann ein- oder mehrteilig ausgeführt sein und stellt die starre und tragende Einheit des Sitzmöbels dar.This object is achieved in that the armrest on the Base frame using a kinematic arrangement between one the stationary seat flanking to the side, armrest position increased compared to the seat and one the seat on the opposite of the backrest Side extended footrest position movably is. As a result, the armrest has an advantageous double function on by either supporting an arm or is provided as a footrest. A major advantage The solution according to the invention is therefore that the armrest has a meaningful function in every position. This is a significant difference from the prior art, in which the stool in an unneeded rest position is still storage space needed. By providing the armrest according to the invention With a double function, the seating is for both Sofas and armchairs as well as for other types of seating furniture Suitable for chairs or benches. The aesthetic design of the The respective seating furniture is not dependent on the arrangement a footrest so that there is greater design freedom can be achieved for the seating furniture according to the invention. Additional Functional parts are by the invention Avoided solution by using the armrest in a simple manner has dual function described. The agility of the Armrest by means of the kinematic arrangement can be varied be designed. The armrest can move over multiple levels in the footrest position or in the armrest position be moved. Swiveling operations can be provided for themselves or combined with appropriate lifting or lowering movements be. A tilting movement of the Armrest, however, also with additional movement functions can be combined. Mechanical, curved guideways may be provided, along which the armrest guided in this guideway is movable. The only thing that is essential is to overcome the height difference relative to the seat between the raised armrest position and the at least slightly lowered footrest position. For moving the armrest into the armrest position and the footrest position can also provide lever mechanisms be. The increased armrest position can be caused by a Inclination of the armrest or at least the top of the Armrest can be achieved in the armrest position without necessarily the entire armrest is shifted accordingly must become. With an eccentric armrest bearing in connection with a trapezoidal cross section of the armrest or a different angled arrangement of the Levels of the top and bottom of the armrest can by simply tilting the desired height difference can be achieved in one of the end positions inclined plane of one side as armrest and in in the other position, the flat plane of the opposite Side forms the footrest. When designing the seating as a sofa, both armrests are advantageous according to the invention movable. In the footrest positions of both armrests there may be a gap between the two armrests, which is an easy get up from the seat of the sofa made possible. The base frame can be one or more parts be executed and represents the rigid and load-bearing unit of the seating furniture.

In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist als Kinematikanordnung eine Kippmechanik vorgesehen, deren Kippachse relativ zur Sitzfläche derart räumlich schräg ausgerichtet ist, daß eine Unterseite der Armlehne in der Armlehnposition eine Oberseite in der Fußstützposition bildet. Diese Ausgestaltung hat den Vorteil, daß die gegebenenfalls durch die Fußablage verschmutzbare Unterseite der Armlehne in der Armlehnposition verborgen ist, so daß die Oberseite der Armlehne ausschließlich für eine Kopf- oder Armauflage und die Unterseite ausschließlich für eine Fußablage nutzbar ist.In an embodiment of the invention is a kinematics arrangement Tilt mechanism provided, the tilt axis relative to the seat is so spatially aligned that a bottom the armrest in the armrest position a top in the footrest position. This configuration has the Advantage that the possibly contaminated by the footrest Underside of the armrest in the armrest position is hidden, so the top of the armrest only for a headrest or armrest and the underside only can be used for a footrest.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung entspricht die Lage der Kippachse im Raum zumindest in etwa der Lage einer geometrischen Achse, die durch jeweils eine Winkelhalbierende zwischen den Ausrichtungen der Armlehne in den beiden Endpositionen sowohl in einer Draufsicht auf das Sitzmöbel als auch in einer Vorderansicht gebildet ist. Durch diese Ausrichtung der Kippachse kann die Armlehne auch durch eine auf dem Sitzmöbel sitzende Person in die jeweils gewünschte Endposition verkippt werden, da die Bewegungsbahn der Armlehne an der Sitzposition vorbeiläuft. Dies erlaubt eine äußerst einfache und schnelle Bedienung der Armlehne.In a further embodiment of the invention, the situation corresponds the tilt axis in space at least roughly the position of a geometric one Axis, which is divided by a bisector between each the orientations of the armrest in the two end positions both in a top view of the seating furniture as well is formed in a front view. Through this alignment the armrest can also be tilted by a on the seating seated person in the desired end position be tilted because the path of movement of the armrest on the Sitting position passes. This allows an extremely simple one and quick operation of the armrest.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Kippmechanik ein einzelnes Kippgelenk auf, das in einem vorderen, der Armlehne zugewandten Eckbereich der Sitzfläche positioniert ist. Dies ist eine besonders einfache und funktionssichere Ausgestaltung, die einen geringen baulichen Aufwand benötigt.In a further embodiment of the invention, the tilt mechanism a single tilt joint on that in a front that Armrest facing corner area of the seat positioned is. This is a particularly simple and reliable Design that requires little construction.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist das Kippgelenk wenigstens einen innenliegenden Anschlag für die Armlehnposition und/oder die Fußstützposition auf. Dadurch werden Verletzungsgefahren bei der Kippbewegung der Armlehne vermieden. Dabei kann wahlweise lediglich nur ein Anschlag für die Fußstützposition oder ergänzend ein zweiter Anschlag für die Armlehnposition vorgesehen sein.In a further embodiment of the invention, the tilt joint has at least one internal stop for the armrest position and / or the footrest position. This creates the risk of injury avoided when the armrest is tilted. Optionally, only one stop can be used for the footrest position or in addition a second stop for the Armrest position may be provided.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist das Kippgelenk zwei schwenkbeweglich miteinander verbundene Kippgelenkteile auf, die am Grundgestell einerseits und an der Armlehne andererseits angeordnet sind, wobei der eine Kippgelenkteil den anderen Kippgelenkteil gabel- oder kugelkopfförmig übergreift. Durch das Übergreifen des einen Kippgelenkteiles durch den anderen Kippgelenkteil wird ein verletzungsarmes Kippgelenk mit innenliegender Lagerung geschaffen.In a further embodiment of the invention, the tilt joint has two pivotable hinged parts on the base frame on the one hand and on the armrest on the other are arranged, the one rocker joint part overlaps another tilt joint part in the form of a fork or ball head. By overlapping the one articulated part through the other tilt joint part is a low-injury Tilt joint created with internal storage.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Außenkontur des den anderen Kippgelenkteil übergreifenden Kippgelenkteiles konzentrisch zur Kippachse kugelabschnittsförmig gestaltet. Dadurch können gefährliche Quetschbewegungen der Außenfläche dieses Kippgelenkteiles während einer Kippbewegung zuverlässig vermieden werden. In a further embodiment of the invention, the outer contour of the other articulated joint part overlapping the articulated joint part designed concentric to the tilt axis in the form of spherical sections. This can cause dangerous crushing movements of the outer surface this rocker joint part reliably during a tilting movement be avoided.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Armlehne einen mit einer Kissenpolsterung versehenen Stützrahmen auf, mit dem der armlehnenseitige Kippgelenkteil starr verbunden ist. Dieser Stützrahmen ermöglicht eine großflächige Gestaltung der Armlehne, ohne daß die Stützfunktionen in beiden Endpositionen beinträchtigt sind.In a further embodiment of the invention, the armrest has a support frame with cushion padding, with which the armrest-side tilt joint part is rigidly connected is. This support frame enables large-scale design the armrest without the supporting functions in both End positions are impaired.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der Stützrahmen wenigstens ein einseitig wirkendes Knickgelenk auf. Dies ist insbesondere vorteilhaft, falls die Armlehne in der Armlehnposition über einen bereits vorhandenen, grundgestellfesten Armlehnenabschnitt gelehnt wird, der ebenfalls bereits gegenüber der Sitzfläche erhöht ist. Dadurch kann die Armlehne sich durch entsprechendes Abknicken zur Erzielung einer gekrümmten Form an die Unterlage in Form des Armlehnenabschnittes anpassen. Zudem können auch großflächige Armlehnen vorgesehen sein, ohne in ästhetischer Hinsicht einen sperrigen Eindruck zu vermitteln, da diese Armlehnen durch das wenigstens eine Knickgelenk entsprechend gebogen werden können. Die einseitige Wirkfunktion des Knickgelenkes gewährleistet, daß der Stützrahmen in der Fußstützposition die gewünschte steife Stützfunktion übernimmt, ohne nach unten abzuknicken.In a further embodiment of the invention, the support frame at least one unilateral articulation. This is particularly advantageous if the armrest is in the armrest position over an existing, base frame-fixed Armrest section is leaned, which is also already opposite the seat is raised. This allows the armrest by bending accordingly to achieve a curved Shape to the pad in the form of the armrest section to adjust. Large armrests can also be provided be without being bulky in aesthetic terms To give impression, because these armrests at least an articulated joint can be bent accordingly. The one-sided active function of the articulated joint ensures that the support frame in the foot support position the desired stiff support function takes over without kinking downwards.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Armlehne einschließlich dem Stützrahmen als Liegeauflage dimensioniert. Dadurch kann die Armlehne derart an die Sitzfläche des Sitzmöbels angepaßt sein, daß sich in der Armlehnposition eine verlängerte Liegefläche ergibt, die zumindest geringfügig schräg ansteigt. Neben einer Armauflage wird somit für die Armlehne eine weitere Zusatzfunktion geschaffen.In a further embodiment of the invention, the armrest is included dimensioned the support frame as a mattress pad. As a result, the armrest can be attached to the seat of the seating furniture in this way be adjusted that in the armrest position lengthened lying area, which is at least slightly rises diagonally. In addition to an armrest, Armrest created another additional function.

Ein Sofa 1 gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 weist ein nicht näher bezeichnetes Grundgestell in Form eines Holz- oder eines Metallrahmens auf, das mit Füßen versehen ist. Das Grundgestell ist in an sich bekannter Weise mit als Rückenlehnen dienenden Rückenpolsterungen 2 sowie mit als Sitzflächen dienenden Sitzpolsterungen 3 versehen. Die Sitzpolsterungen 3 gehen zu den gegenüberliegenden Seiten hin in jeweils einen schräg ansteigenden Armlehnenabschnitt 4 über, auf dem jeweils eine zusätzliche Armlehne 5 abgelegt ist. Beide Armlehnen 5 stellen zum Grundgestell getrennte Teile dar.A sofa 1 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 has an unspecified one Base frame in the form of a wooden or metal frame that is provided with feet. The base frame is in a known manner with serving as backrests Back upholstery 2 as well as serving as seats Seat upholstery 3 provided. The seat upholstery 3 go to the opposite sides in a diagonally rising Armrest section 4, on each of which additional armrest 5 is stored. Place both armrests 5 parts separate from the base frame.

Jede Armlehne 5 ist relativ großflächig gestaltet und weist einen rechteckigen Stützrahmen 9 auf (Fig. 2) der mit einer nicht näher bezeichneten Polsterung und einem Bezug versehen ist, so daß sich die gesamte Armlehne 5 als großflächiges Kissen darstellt. Jede Armlehne 5 ist mittels eines Kippgelenkes 6 am Grundgestell um eine Kippachse K kippbeweglich gelagert. Die Kippbeweglichkeit jeder Armlehne 5 wird durch zwei Endpositionen begrenzt, nämlich durch eine Armlehnposition, die in Fig. 1 mit durchgezogenen Linien dargestellt ist, sowie eine Fußstützposition, die in Fig. 1 mit strichpunktierten Linien dargestellt ist. Die Verlagerung der Armlehne 5 zwischen der Armlehnposition und der Fußstützposition stellt grundsätzlich eine Schwenkbewegung dar. Da jedoch gleichzeitig Ober- und Unterseite der Armlehne 5 in den beiden Endpositionen vertauscht sind, erfolgt die Schwenkbewegung um die Kippachse K in Form einer Kippbewegung. Wie anhand der Fig. 1 erkennbar ist, bildet eine erste Auflagefläche 7 der Armlehne 5 in der Armlehnposition eine Oberseite, wohingegen die gegenüberliegende Auflagefläche 8 eine Unterseite der Armlehne 5 bildet. Nach erfolgter Kippbewegung in die Fußstützposition bildet hingegen die Auflagefläche 8 die Oberseite und die Auflagefläche 7 die Unterseite der Armlehne 5, die nunmehr als Fußablage dient. In der Armlehnposition ist die Auflagefläche 7 der Armlehne 5 in einem Winkel von etwa 20 bis 40°, vorzugsweise 30°, zu einer horizontalen Ebene und damit auch etwa um den gleichen Winkelbetrag relativ zur Sitzfläche der Sitzpolsterung 3 schräggestellt. In der Armlehnposition flankieren beide Armlehnen 5 die Sitzfläche der Sitzpolsterung 3 jeweils seitlich. In der Fußstützposition hingegen bildet jede Armlehne 5 eine fluchtende Verlängerung der Sitzpolsterung 3 auf der der Rückenpolsterung 2 abgewandten Seite, wobei die als Oberseite dienende Auflagefläche 8 zumindest ungefähr mit der Sitzfläche der Sitzpolsterung 3 fluchtet. Die der Sitzpolsterung 3 zugewandte Seitenkante jeder Armlehne 5 schließt dabei in der Fußstützposition an eine Vorderkante der Sitzpolsterung 3 an. In der Armlehnposition flankiert diese Seitenkante die Sitzpolsterung 3 seitlich zumindest ungefähr auf Höhe einer als Übergang zwischen dem Armlehnenabschnitt 4 und der Sitzpolsterung 3 dienenden Knicklinie.Each armrest 5 is designed and has a relatively large area a rectangular support frame 9 on (Fig. 2) with a not specified padding and a cover is, so that the entire armrest 5 as a large area Represents pillow. Each armrest 5 is by means of a tilt joint 6 tiltable on the base frame about a tilt axis K. stored. The tilting mobility of each armrest 5 is determined by limited two end positions, namely by an armrest position, those shown in Fig. 1 with solid lines is, as well as a footrest position, which is shown in FIG Lines is shown. The shift of the armrest 5 between the armrest position and the footrest position basically represents a swivel movement. However, since simultaneously the top and bottom of the armrest 5 in the two End positions are reversed, the swivel movement takes place about the tilt axis K in the form of a tilting movement. As with 1 can be seen, forms a first contact surface 7 of the armrest 5 in the armrest position an upper side, whereas the opposite bearing surface 8 is an underside the armrest 5 forms. After tilting in the footrest position, however, forms the support surface 8 Top and the support surface 7, the bottom of the armrest 5, which now serves as a footrest. In the armrest position is the bearing surface 7 of the armrest 5 at an angle of about 20 to 40 °, preferably 30 °, to a horizontal plane and thus also by about the same angular amount relative inclined to the seat of the seat upholstery 3. In the Armrest position flank both armrests 5 the seat the seat upholstery 3 on each side. In the footrest position however, each armrest 5 forms an aligned extension the seat padding 3 on the back padding 2 facing away Side, with the support surface serving as the top 8 at least approximately with the seat of the seat upholstery 3 is aligned. The side edge facing the seat upholstery 3 each armrest 5 closes in the footrest position to a front edge of the seat upholstery 3. In the armrest position this side edge flanks the seat upholstery 3 sideways at least approximately at the level of a transition between the armrest section 4 and the seat upholstery 3 serving Crease line.

In einer Vorderansicht des Sofas 1 schließt die Auflagefläche 7 in der Armlehnposition der Armlehne 5 bei einer Schrägstellung der Auflagefläche 7 von 30° mit der in dieser Frontansicht horizontalen Sitzfläche der Sitzpolsterung 3 somit einen Winkel von 150° ein. In einer Draufsicht auf das Sofa 1 von oben gesehen, wird die Armlehne 5 um 90° zwischen der Armlehnposition und der Fußstützposition verdreht, da die Armlehne 5 in der einen Endposition seitlich neben der Sitzfläche und in der anderen Endposition rechtwinklig versetzt vor der Sitzfläche angeordnet ist. Um somit die Armlehne 5 über den durch einen Pfeil dargestellten Kippwinkel aus der Armlehnpositon in die Fußstützposition und umgekehrt zu überführen, ist die Kippachse K derart schräg im Raum ausgerichtet, daß sie in der beschriebenen Frontansicht in etwa die Winkelhalbierende des Winkels zwischen der Auflagefläche 7 und der Sitzfläche der Sitzpolsterung 3 und in einer Draufsicht von oben ebenfalls in etwa die Winkelhalbierende zwischen den unterschiedlichen Endpositionen der Seitenkante der Armlehne 5 bildet. Diese Ausrichtung der Kippachse K geht davon aus, daß das Kippgelenk 6 sich in einem Eckbereich der Sitzfläche der Sitzpolsterung 3 in unmittelbarer Verlängerung der Knicklinie zwischen dem Armlehnabschnitt 4 und der Sitzpolsterung 3 sowie in geringem Abstand vor der Vorderkante des Grundgestells befindet. In der Frontansicht von vorne ist die Kippachse K somit in einem Winkel von 75° zur Sitzfläche und in einer Draufsicht von oben in einem Winkel von 45° zur Vorderkante des Grundgestells und damit der Sitzpolsterung 3 ausgerichtet.The support surface closes in a front view of the sofa 1 7 in the armrest position of the armrest 5 in an inclined position the bearing surface 7 of 30 ° with that in this front view horizontal seat of the seat upholstery 3 thus one Angle of 150 °. A top view of the sofa 1 seen from above, the armrest 5 is 90 ° between the Armrest position and the footrest position twisted since the Armrest 5 in one end position to the side of the seat and offset at right angles in the other end position is arranged in front of the seat. Around the armrest 5 over the tilt angle represented by an arrow from the To transfer the armrest position to the footrest position and vice versa, the tilt axis K is so inclined in space, that in the described front view they are about the Bisector of the angle between the contact surface 7 and the seat of the seat cushion 3 and in a plan view from above also approximately the bisector between the different end positions of the side edge of the Armrest 5 forms. This orientation of the tilt axis K assumes from that the tilt joint 6 in a corner area of the Seat of the seat upholstery 3 in the immediate extension the crease line between the armrest section 4 and the seat upholstery 3 and at a short distance from the front edge of the base frame. In the front view is from the front the tilt axis K thus at an angle of 75 ° to the seat and in a top view from above at an angle of 45 ° to Front edge of the base frame and thus the seat upholstery 3 aligned.

Der grundgestellseitige Kippgelenkteil wird durch ein Flachplattenteil in Form eines Flachstahles 10 gebildet, der starr mit dem Grundgestell verbunden ist. Falls das Grundgestell aus Metall besteht, ist der Flachstahl 10 vorzugsweise mit dem Grundgestell verschweißt. Der Flachstahl 10 weist ein halbkreisförmig gerundetes vorderes Stirnende auf. In dem Stirnende ist konzentrisch ein quer hindurchragender Lagerbolzen 12 vorgesehen, der koaxial zur Kippachse K ausgerichtet ist und zur schwenkbeweglichen Aufnahme des anderen, armlehnenseitigen Kippgelenkteiles 1 dient. Der armlehnenseitige Kippgelenkteil 11 ist starr mit einer Ecke des Stützrahmens 9 verbunden und weist zwei gabelförmige Schenkel auf, die das Stirnende des Flachstahles 10 zu beiden Seiten übergreifen. Der Kippgelenkteil 11 ist eiförmig gestaltet, wobei der untere, durch die Gabelschenkel gebildete Teil halbkugelartig zu einem Kippachsenpunkt des Kippgelenkteiles 10 gestaltet ist und mit dem Lagerbolzen 12 verbunden ist. Der Kippgelenkteil 11 ist somit schwenkbeweglich mit dem Flachstahl 10 verbunden.The base frame-side tilt joint part is a flat plate part formed in the form of a flat steel 10, the rigid is connected to the base frame. If the base frame consists of metal, the flat steel 10 is preferably with welded to the base frame. The flat steel 10 has semicircular rounded front end. By doing The front end is concentrically a transversely projecting bearing pin 12 provided, which is aligned coaxially to the tilt axis K. is and for swiveling mounting of the other, armrest side Tilt joint part 1 is used. The armrest side Tilt joint part 11 is rigid with a corner of the support frame 9 connected and has two fork-shaped legs that the Grip over the front end of the flat steel 10 on both sides. The tilt joint part 11 is egg-shaped, the lower, part formed by the fork legs hemispherical a tilt axis point of the tilt joint part 10 is designed and is connected to the bearing pin 12. The tilt joint part 11 is thus pivotally connected to the flat steel 10.

Der Flachstahl 10 ist im Bereich seines vorderen Stirnendes konzentrisch zur Kippachse K und damit auch zum Lagerbolzen 12 mit einer kreisbogenförmigen Kulissennut 13 versehen, deren überstrichener Winkel dem räumlichen Kippwinkel der Armlehne 5 zwischen den beiden Endpositionen entspricht. Der gabelförmige Teil des Kippgelenkteiles 11 ist mit einem die Kulissennut 13 durchdringenden Anschlagbolzen 14 versehen, wodurch in Verbindung mit der Kulissennut 13 für die beiden Endpositionen der Armlehne 5 zwei Anschläge gebildet werden. Die Anschläge sind innenliegend gestaltet, da die gabelartigen Schenkelabschnitte des Kippgelenkteiles 11 das vordere Stirnende des Flachstahles 10 zu beiden Seiten bündig übergreifen.The flat steel 10 is in the area of its front end concentric to the tilt axis K and thus also to the bearing pin 12 provided with an arcuate backdrop groove 13, the swept angle the spatial tilt angle of the armrest 5 corresponds between the two end positions. The fork-shaped Part of the tilting joint part 11 is the link groove 13 penetrating stop pin 14, whereby in conjunction with the slot 13 for the two End positions of the armrest 5 two stops are formed. The stops are designed on the inside because the fork-like Leg sections of the tilt joint part 11 the front Grip the end of the flat steel 10 flush on both sides.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 3 entspricht im wesentlichen dem zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2. Einziger Unterschied bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist es, daß der Stützrahmen 9a der Armlehne 5a im Bereich von gegenüberliegenden Längsträgern zusätzlich um eine Knickachse S mit Hilfe von zwei Knickgelenken 15 abknickbar gestaltet ist. Dabei sind die Knickgelenke 15 derart gestaltet, daß ein Abknicken des Stützrahmens 9a ausschließlich in der Armlehnposition erfolgen kann. In der umgekippten Fußstützposition hingegen liegen die Stirnenden der Trägerabschnitte auf Stoß aneinander an, so daß sich steife Trägerprofile ergeben. Die Knickfunktion in der Armlehnposition hat den Vorteil, daß insbesondere großflächige Armlehnen 5a den Biegungen der Armlehnenabschnitte 4 entsprechend folgen können, auf denen sie aufliegen, so daß ein steifer, sperriger Eindruck der Armlehne 5a vermieden wird. Diese kann sich vielmehr gekrümmt an die als Unterlage dienenden Armlehnenabschnitte 4 anpassen oder auch seitlich außerhalb der Armlehnenabschnitte 4 frei nach unten hängen.3 corresponds essentially the previously described embodiment according to the 1 and 2. The only difference in this embodiment it is that the support frame 9a of the armrest 5a in the area of opposite side members additionally by one Articulation axis S can be bent with the aid of two articulated joints 15 is designed. The articulated joints 15 are designed such that a kinking of the support frame 9a only in the armrest position can be done. In the upturned footrest position on the other hand, the ends of the support sections are located butt against each other so that rigid support profiles surrender. Has the kink function in the armrest position the advantage that in particular large armrests 5a Bends of the armrest sections 4 can follow accordingly on which they rest, so that a stiff, bulky Impression of the armrest 5a is avoided. This can be rather curved to the armrest sections serving as a base 4 adjust or laterally outside the armrest sections 4 hang down freely.
