Um Kräfte abzuleiten müssen außerdem generell mehrere Verschraubungen vorgesehen werden, damit die Beanspruchung der einzelnen Eihfeemuttcr nicht zu hoch wird.The disadvantages of this known prior art are that Tool for inserting the insert nut is prone to failure that the manufacturing time the plastic hollow body through this additional process step is extended, and finally the process is disrupted in that that blow molding is a continuous process, inserting the insert nuts but must be done discontinuously. To derive forces also have to Generally several screw connections are provided so that the stress the individual egg yeast nut does not become too high.
Die Erfindung versucht, die beschriebenen Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu vermeiden. Ihr liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine einfache Vorrichtung und ein leicht ausführbares Verfahren zur Befestigung einer aus einem Blasformteil gebildeten hohlen Rückenlehne für Sitzmöbel zu schaffen, welche sich gegenüber dem bekannten Stand der Technik durch einen verringerten Zeit- und Kostenaufwand sowie eine verbesserte Qualität der Befestigung auszeichnet, wobei die Befestigung beinahe unsichtbar sein soll.The invention attempts to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art described avoid. It is based on the task of a simple device and a easily executable method for attaching a blow molded part to create hollow backrest for seating, which face each other the known prior art through a reduced expenditure of time and money as well as an improved quality of attachment, the Attachment should be almost invisible.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies bei einer Vorrichtung gemäß Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches
1 dadurch errreicht, daß einerseits der Rahmen zwecks Aufnahme
der Rückenlehne einen am Rahmen fest angebrachten, in die hohle Rückenlehne
einschiebbaren Lagerbügel aufweist, und daß andererseits eine Klemmleiste
vorgesehen ist, welche einen Formschluß und einen Kraftschluß zwischen der
Rückenlehne und dem Rahmen herstellt.According to the invention, this becomes in a device according to the preamble of the
Die Vorteile der Erfindung bestehen darin, daß eine vergleichsweise einfache Befestigung der Rückenlehne am Rahmen erfolgt, die aber sehr stabil ist. Der Lagerbügel nimmt einerseits die Anlehnkräfte auf und dient andererseits gemeinsam mit der Klemmleiste zur Befestigung der Rückenlehne.The advantages of the invention are that they are comparatively simple The backrest is attached to the frame, but it is very stable. The Bearing bracket on the one hand absorbs the leaning forces and on the other hand serves together with the terminal block for fastening the backrest.
Es ist zweckmäßig, wenn die Klemmleiste und der Rahmen mittig jeweils eine Öffnung zur Aufnahme eines Verbindungsstückes, vorzugsweise einer Schraube oder eines Blindnietes aufweisen. Auf diese Weise läßt sich eine sehr gute kraftschlüssige Verbindung zwischen der hohlen Rückenlehne und dem Rahmen des Sitzmöbels herstellen. It is useful if the terminal block and the frame in the middle each Opening for receiving a connector, preferably a screw or have a blind rivet.

Es sind nur die für das Verständnis der Erfindung wesentlichen Elemente gezeigt.The single figure shows a perspective view of part of a chair frame with the hollow backrest to be attached and the necessary Additional parts. They are only the elements essential for understanding the invention shown.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles und der Figur näher erläutert. The invention based on an embodiment and the Figure explained in more detail.
Die einzige Figur zeigt in perspektivischer Ansicht einen Teil eines metallischen
Rohrrahmens 1 für einen Stuhl mit einer an diesem Rahmen 1 zu befestigenden
hohlen Rückenlehne 2 und den dafür notwendigen Zusatzteilen. Der Zusammenbau
der Einzelteile ist mit gestrichelten Pfeilen in der Figur angedeutet.The single figure shows a perspective view of part of a metallic
Die Rückenlehne 2 besteht aus Kunststoff und ist als Blasformteil gefertigt. Aus
der Figur geht nicht hervor, daß die untere schmale Seite 7 der Rückenlehne
überwiegend offen ausgebildet ist und lediglich von der vorderen und der hinteren
Seite der Rückenlehne 2 jeweils ein schmaler Rand zur Seite 7 umgebogen ist.
Die anderen Seiten des Blasformteiles 2 sind geschlossen. Die Form der unteren
Seite 7 der Lehne 2 ist der Form des Rahmens 1 angepaßt, so daß bei einer
Befestigung der Lehne am Rahmen ein Formschluß gegeben ist.The
Am Rahmen 1 ist in dem Bereich, in welchem die Rückenlehne 2 angebracht werden
soll, ein u-förmiger Lagerbügel 3 aus Metall befestigt. In vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel
sind die beiden Schenkel des Lagerbügels 3 an ihren offenen
Enden mit dem Rahmen 1 verschweißt. Der die Schenkel verbindende Quersteg
des Lagerbügels 3 ragt dabei nach oben. In der Mitte des Quersteges ist um den
Lagerbügel 3 herum ein Dämpfungselement 4, welches aus einem Ausgleichsmaterial
besteht, angebracht. Der Lagerbügel 3 dient dazu, die Anlehnkräfte aufzunehmen.
Durch das Dämpfungselement 4 wird eine Geräuschbildung beim Anlehnen
vermieden und ein weicher Anschlag nach hinten sichergestellt.The
In der Figur ist außerdem eine Klemmleiste 5 dargestellt. Die Klemmleiste 5 ist ein
gebogenes rinnenartiges Blechstück, dessen Krümmung einen Innenradius aufweist,
welcher etwa dem Außenradius des Rohrrahmens 1 entspricht. In der Mitte
der Klemmleiste 5 ist eine Bohrung 8 angebracht, welche ein Innengewinde aufweist.
Im Rohrrahmen 1 ist mittig zwischen den beiden Schenkeln des Lagerbügels
3 eine durchgehende Öffnung 9 vorgesehen. Die Öffnungen 8 und 9 dienen
der Aufnahme eines Verbindungsstückes 6. Das Verbindungsstück 6 ist im
vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ein Schraube. Es könnte aber anstelle der
Schraube z. B. auch ein Blindniet verwendet werden.In the figure, a
Die beschriebene erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung wird folgendermaßen zusammengebaut
Die hohle Rückenlehne 2 wird zunächst mit ihrer unteren, partiell
offenen Seite 7 teilweise über den Lagerbügel 3 geschoben, so daß sich das
Dämpfungselement 4 im Inneren der hohlen Rückenlehne 2 befindet. Nun wird die
Klemmleiste 5 in die untere Seite 7 der Rückenlehne 2 eingeschoben und so gedreht,
daß einerseits ihre gewölbte Fläche nach oben zeigt, und andererseits die
Klemmleiste 5 auf den seitlichen Rändern der Seite 7 innen aufliegt. Die Klemmleiste
5 wird so verschoben und justiert, daß beim nun folgenden kompletten
Überschieben der Lehne 2 über den Lagerbügel 3 die Öffnung 9 im Rohrrahmen
1 und die Öffnung 8 mit der Gewindebohrung in der Klemmleiste 5 annähernd
deckungsgleich aufeinander zu liegen kommen. Abschließend wird durch die Öffnung
9 eine Schraube 6 eingeführt und mit dem Gewindedurchzug 8 verschraubt,
so daß nunmehr der Rahmen 1, die Klemmleiste 5 und die Rückenlehne 2 fest
miteinander verbunden sind. Die Klemmleiste 5 gewährleistet einerseits einen
Formschluß zwischen dem Blasformteil 2 und dem Rahmen 1, andererseits auf
Grund der Verschraubung einen Kraftschluß. Somit ist die Befestigungsqualität
sehr gut. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, daß die Befestigung
beinahe unsichtbar geschieht.The described device according to the invention is assembled as follows
The
Selbstverständlich ist die Erfindung nicht auf das beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel
beschränkt. So kann der erforderliche Kraftschluß zwischen Rahmen 1,
Klemmleiste 3 und Rückenlehne 2 auch mittels Einbringung eines Blindnietes
anstelle einer Verschraubung realisiert werden. Neben der beschrieben Verwendung
einer ungepolsterten Rückenlehne ist die Erfindung natürlich auch zur
Befestigung einer gepolsterten hohlen Rückenlehne geeignet. Bei diesen beiden
Varianten ist lediglich der Zwischenraum zwischen den Blasformteilen und dem
Rahmen unterschiedlich groß. Dies wird durch die Klemmleiste ausgeglichen. Of course, the invention is not based on the described embodiment
