Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein in ein Bett umwandelbares Sitzmöbel mit einem auf einem Gestell abgestützten gepolsterten Sitzrahmen, unter dem in der Sitzstellung des Möbels ein gepolsterter Zusatzrahmen eingeschoben ist, der an einem Auszug mittels eines Beschlages heb- und senkbar gelagert ist, wie bereits aus AT-B-401 336 bekannt.The invention relates to a convertible into a bed with a padded seat frame supported on a frame, under which in the Sitting position of the furniture is a padded additional frame that is inserted an extract can be raised and lowered by means of a fitting, as already known from AT-B-401 336.

Möbel dieser Art werden sowohl als Einzelelemente, die in ein Einzelbett umgewandelt werden können, als auch als breitere Elemente, die in Doppelbetten umgewandelt werden können, erzeugt. Es ist auch möglich, zwei Einzelelemente nebeneinander zu stellen bzw. miteinander zu verbinden, damit aus den beiden Einzelelementen ein Doppelbett gebildet werden kann. Bei vielen bekannten Möbeln bleibt dabei beim Ausziehen beider Auszüge und Anheben beider Zusatzrahmen zwischen den Polsterungen ein Spalt, der zwangsläufig dadurch entsteht, daß die Polsterungen der Zusatzrahmen schmäler als die Polsterungen der Sitzrahmen sein müssen, damit sie in den zugehörigen Auszug eingeschoben werden können.Furniture of this type are both used as single elements in a single bed can be converted as well as wider elements used in double beds can be converted. It is also possible to have two individual elements to stand side by side or to connect with each other, so that from the two Individual elements a double bed can be formed. With many known Furniture remains when pulling out both pull-outs and lifting both Additional frame between the upholstery a gap that inevitably arises that the upholstery of the additional frame is narrower than the upholstery of the Seat frames must be so that they can be inserted into the associated pull-out can be.

Zur Behebung dieses Nachteiles ist es bereits bekannt, den Sitzrahmen an der Auszugseite des Auszuges seitlich über Stützen am Gestell abzustützen, die bei eingeschobenem Auszug den gepolsterten Zusatzrahmen U-förmig umgreifen. Bei solchen Möbeln wird zufolge der U-förmigen Auskragung der den Sitzrahmen tragenden Stützen nach außen das Einschieben des Auszuges auch dann nicht behindert, wenn der gepolsterte Zusatzrahmen weitgehend gleich breit wie der gepolsterte Sitzrahmen ist. Eine völlig gleiche Breite ist jedoch auch bei diesen bekannten Möbeln nicht erreichbar.To remedy this disadvantage, it is already known to the seat frame support the pull-out side of the pull-out laterally via supports on the frame, inserted pull-out grasp the padded additional frame in a U-shape. at Such furniture is due to the U-shaped projection of the seat frame supporting outward insertion of the pull-out not even then hampers when the padded additional frame largely the same width as the is padded seat frame. However, these are of the same width known furniture not available.

Die Erfindung hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt ein in ein Bett umwandelbares Sitzmöbel der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem der gepolsterte Zusatzrahmen tatsächlich gleich breit wie der gepolsterte Sitzrahmen sein kann. Erreicht wird dies dadurch, daß der Sitzrahmen in der Liegestellung des Möbels über wenigstens eine im rückwärtigen Bereich des Auszuges angeordnete Stütze, und wenigstens eine im rückwärtigen Bereich des Gestelles angeordnete Stütze abgestützt ist.The invention has set itself the goal of convertible into a bed To create seating of the type mentioned, in which the upholstered Additional frames are actually the same width as the upholstered seat frame. This is achieved in that the seat frame in the lying position of the furniture via at least one support arranged in the rear area of the pull-out, and at least one support arranged in the rear area of the frame is supported.

Bei einem erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Möbel sind an der Breitseite des Zusatzrahmens bzw. Sitzrahmens überhaupt keine Stützen vorhanden, sodaß die Breite des gepolsterten Zusatzrahmens beliebig gewählt werden kann. Insbesondere kann sie aber gleich der Breite des gepolsterten Sitzrahmens gewählt werden, sodaß bei aneinander gestellten bzw. miteinander verbundenen Einzelelementen zwischen diesen auch in der Liegestellung keinerlei Spalt vorhanden ist.In a piece of furniture designed according to the invention are on the broad side of the Additional frame or seat frame no supports at all, so that Width of the padded additional frame can be chosen arbitrarily. In particular it can be chosen equal to the width of the upholstered seat frame, so that when individual elements are placed together or connected to one another there is no gap between them, even in the lying position.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die am Auszug angeordneten Stützen an ihren dem Auszug abgewendeten Ende mit Rollen versehen, die beim Ausziehen und Einschieben des Auszuges an der Unterseite des Sitzrahmens abrollen.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, they are on the extract arranged supports at their end facing away from the pull-out with rollers provided that when pulling out and pushing in the pull-out at the bottom of the Unroll the seat frame.

Die vordere Abstützung des Sitzrahmens in der Sitzstellung kann auf verschiedene Weise erfolgen. Zweckmäßig ist jedoch der Sitzrahmen in der Sitzstellung des Möbels an einer am Auszug angeordneten Frontblende abgestützt.The front support of the seat frame in the sitting position can be opened done in different ways. However, the seat frame in the The seating position of the furniture is supported on a front panel arranged on the pull-out.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist das Gestell in an sich bekannter Weise als aus dem Möbelgestell ausfahrbarer Wagen ausgebildet und die am Gestell angeordneten Stützen sind dünne Metallstützen.In an advantageous embodiment, the frame is known per se Formed as a retractable from the furniture frame and the am Supports arranged in the frame are thin metal supports.

Nachstehend ist die Erfindung anhand eines in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher beschrieben, ohne auf dieses Beispiel beschränkt zu sein. Dabei zeigen: Fig. 1 teilweise im Schnitt das erfindungsgemäße Möbel in der Sitzstellung; Fig. 2 ebenfalls teilweise im Schnitt und in einem gegenüber der Fig. 1 verkleinerten Maßstab das Möbel in der Liegestellung; Fig. 3 in wieder vergrößertem Maßstab einen Schnitt nach der Linie III-III in Fig. 1, wobei zur Darstellung der Breiten von Sitz- und Zusatzrahmen auch diese dargestellt sind.The invention is based on one in the drawings illustrated embodiment described in more detail without referring to this example to be limited. 1 shows a partial section of the invention Furniture in the sitting position; Fig. 2 also partially in section and in one compared to the 1 reduced scale, the furniture in the lying position; Fig. 3 on a larger scale a section along the line III-III in Fig. 1, whereby to show the widths of the seat and additional frames also these are shown.

Gemäß den Zeichnungen ist in einem Möbelgestell 1 ein als Wagen ausgebildetes Gestell 2 ein- und ausfahrbar. Das Gestell 2 ist dabei einerseits über Rollen 3 am Boden, andererseits über Rollen 4 an schrägen Schienen 5 fahrbar. Unter Einhaltung eines Zwischenraumes ist am Gestell 2 ein gepolsterter Sitzrahmen 6 abgestützt.According to the drawings is in a furniture frame 1 as a carriage trained frame 2 retractable and extendable. The frame 2 is on the one hand Rollers 3 on the ground, on the other hand, on rollers 4 on inclined rails 5 mobile. In keeping with a gap there is a padded frame 2 Seat frame 6 supported.

In den Zwischenraum ist in der Sitzstellung des Möbels (Fig. 1) ein Auszug 7 eingeschoben, der über Rollen 8 am Boden und über Rollen 9 am Gestell 2 abgestützt ist. Im Auszug 7 ist ein gepolsterter Zusatzrahmen 10 mittels eines Beschlages heb- und senkbar, der im gezeichneten Beispiel aus einer Schwinge 11, zwei miteinander gelenkig verbundenen Armen 12 und 13 sowie einer Feder 14 besteht. Solche Beschläge sind bekannt und es scheint sich daher eine nähere Beschreibung derselben zu erübrigen.In the gap is in the sitting position of the furniture (Fig. 1) Extract 7 inserted, the roller 8 on the floor and roller 9 on the frame 2 is supported. In the extract 7 is a padded additional frame 10 by means of a Fitting can be raised and lowered, which in the example shown consists of a rocker 11, two arms 12 and 13 articulated together and a spring 14 consists. Such fittings are known and it therefore seems closer No description of the same.

Nach vorne ist der Auszug 7 durch eine Frontblende 15 abgedeckt. Im rückwärtigen Bereich des Auszuges 7 sind beim gezeichneten Ausführungsbeispiel zwei Stützen 16 angeordnet, von denen in den Zeichnungen jeweils nur eine sichtbar ist. An den oberen Enden der Stützen 16 befinden sich Rollen 17. Diese Rollen 17 rollen beim Ausziehen bzw. Einschieben des Auszuges 7 an der Unterseite des Sitzrahmens 6 ab. Im rückwärtigen Bereich ist der Sitzrahmen 6 mittels winkelförmiger Metallstützen 18 am Gestell 2 abgestützt.Towards the front, the extract 7 is covered by a front panel 15. in the rear area of the extract 7 are in the drawn embodiment two supports 16 are arranged, of which only one in the drawings is visible. At the upper ends of the supports 16 there are rollers 17. These Rollers 17 roll when pulling out or pushing in the pull-out 7 on the Bottom of the seat frame 6. In the rear area is the seat frame 6 supported on the frame 2 by means of angular metal supports 18.

In den Fig. 1 und 2 ist überdies eine gepolsterte Rückenlehne 19 sowie ein mit dieser verbundener Polster 20 dargestellt.1 and 2 is also a padded backrest 19 and a with this connected pad 20 shown.

Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist, stützt sich der Sitzrahmen 6 in der Sitzstellung des Möbels vorne an der Frontblende 15 und hinten an den Metallstützen 18 ab.As can be seen from Fig. 1, the seat frame 6 is supported in the sitting position from the front of the front panel 15 and the rear of the metal supports 18.

Soll das Möbel aus der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Sitzstellung in die Liegestellung nach Fig. 2 verbracht werden, wird in bekannter Weise das fahrbare Gestell 2 sowie der Auszug 7 ausgezogen. Anschließend wird der gepolsterte Zusatzrahmen 10 angehoben und die Rückenlehne 19 mit dem Polster 20 umgeklappt.If the furniture from the sitting position shown in Fig. 1 in the 2, the mobile is in a known manner Frame 2 and extract 7 pulled out. Then the padded one Additional frame 10 raised and the backrest 19 with the cushion 20th folded.

Aus Fig. 2 ist ersichtlich, daß der Sitzrahmen 6 in der Liegestellung durch die Stützen 16 mit ihren Rollen 17 sicher abgestützt ist.From Fig. 2 it can be seen that the seat frame 6 in the lying position the supports 16 are securely supported with their rollers 17.

Aus Fig. 3 ergibt sich, daß die Breite des Zusatzrahmens 10 gleich der Breite des Liegerahmens 6 ist. In Fig. 3 sind die Polsterungen nicht gezeichnet, es ist aber ohne weiteres ersichtlich, daß auch die Breite der beiden Polsterungen gleich sein kann. Es ist sogar möglich, die Breite des gepolsterten Zusatzrahmens 10 größer als die Breite des Sitzrahmens 6 zu wählen, welche Wahl jedoch mehr theoretischer Natur ist.From Fig. 3 it follows that the width of the additional frame 10 is equal to that Width of the bed frame 6 is. In Fig. 3 the upholstery is not drawn, it but it is readily apparent that the width of the two upholstery can be the same. It is even possible to change the width of the padded frame 10 larger than the width of the seat frame 6 to choose, which choice, however is more theoretical in nature.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung sind zahlreiche Abänderungen möglich. So ist die Erfindung auch auf solche Möbel anwendbar, bei denen der Sitzrahmen 6 nicht an einem fahrbaren Gestell, sondern starr im Möbelgestell abgestützt ist. Auch die Ergänzung der Liegefläche sowohl kopf- als auch fußseitig kann auf verschiedene Weise erfolgen.Numerous modifications are possible within the scope of the invention. That's how it is Invention also applicable to furniture in which the seat frame 6 is not attached a mobile frame, but is rigidly supported in the furniture frame. Also the Supplementing the lying surface on both the head and foot sides can be done in different ways Way.
