Description

Technisches GebietTechnical field

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Reihenverbindung für Mehrzweckstühle, bei welcher ein Einhängebügel eines ersten Stuhles in einen Rastbügel eines benachbarten zweiten Stuhles einhängbar ist.The invention relates to a row connection for multi-purpose chairs, in which a Hanging bracket of a first chair into a locking bracket of an adjacent one second chair can be hooked.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Mehrzweckstühle, die beipielsweise in Kongresshallen eingesetzt werden, sollen bei einer Reihenbestuhlung auf möglichst einfache Weise miteinander verbindbar sein. Die Stühle sollen zu geraden Reihen gekoppelt werden, damit die an den Stühlen angebrachte Platz- und Reihennumerierung nicht durch Wegsetzen oder Austauschen einzelner Stühle durcheinandergebracht wird bzw. ein eventuelles Verschieben der Stühle während des Gebrauches mit einer damit verbundenen unerwünschten Geräuschbildung verhindert wird.Multi-purpose chairs, which are used in congress halls, for example can be connected to one another in the simplest possible way in row seating his. The chairs should be coupled in straight rows, so that the to the Seat and row numbering not attached to chairs by putting them away or Replacing individual chairs is messed up or a possible one Moving the chairs during use with an associated unwanted noise is prevented.

Bekannt ist beispielweise eine Rundstahl-Bügelreihenverbindung (Prospekt der Fa. Thonet, Programm S 570, 1997), bei der der Rundstahl-Bügel eines ersten Stuhles in den Rundstahl-Bügel eines zweiten benachbarten Stuhles eingehängt wird und somit eine gerade Reihenkoppelung erzielt wird. Die Verbindungsteile sind meist unter der Sitzfläche angebracht, und zwar sind sie entweder direkt an der Sitzfläche oder im Rohrgestell der Stühle befestigt. Es sind auch verschiedene Lösungen bekannt, bei denen die Verbindungsteile (Bügel) bei Nichtgebrauch unter den Sitz geschoben oder weggeklappt werden.For example, a round steel bracket row connection (prospectus of Fa. Thonet, program S 570, 1997), in which the round steel bracket of a first Chair hung in the round steel frame of a second neighboring chair is and thus a straight row coupling is achieved. The connecting parts are usually attached under the seat, and they are either directly on attached to the seat or in the tubular frame of the chairs. They are also different Known solutions in which the connecting parts (bracket) when not in use be pushed under the seat or folded away.

Der Nachteil dieser bekannten Reihenverkettung von Mehrzweckstühlen besteht darin, daß diese starr ist, d. h. nur für jeweils einen Stuhltyp mit einheitlicher Stuhlbreite anwendbar ist. Sollen mehrere verschiedene Stuhlvarianten miteinander verkettet werden, so ist dies nicht zu realisieren, weil die Teile der Reihenverbindung nicht zueinander passen. Für jede Stuhlvariante ist eine eigene Reihenverkettung notwendig.The disadvantage of this known series chaining of multi-purpose chairs is in that it is rigid, d. H. only for one chair type with uniform Chair width is applicable. Should several different chair variants together are chained, this cannot be realized because the parts of the row connection do not match. There is a separate chain link for each chair variant necessary.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Die Erfindung versucht, diesen Nachteil zu vermeiden. Ihr liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Reihenverbindung für Mehrzweckstühle zu entwickeln, die eine schnelle und einfache variable Verkettung der Stühle ermöglicht, wobei mehrere Stuhlvarianten mit verschiedenen Stuhlbreiten für die Reihenbestuhlung einsetzbar sind.The invention tries to avoid this disadvantage. It is based on the task to develop a row connection for multi-purpose chairs, the one allows quick and easy variable chaining of chairs, with several Chair variants with different chair widths can be used for row seating are.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies bei einer Reihenverbindung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 dadurch erreicht, daß mindestens ein Schenkel des Rastbügels mit einer unterschiedlich breiten im wesentlichen sägezahnförmigen Rasterung versehen ist, und daß um den mindestens einen Schenkel ein Arretierungselement angeordnet ist, welches im wesentlichen aus einem Bedienelement und Schnappnasen in Form eines Dreiviertelrohres besteht, wobei die Schnappnasen das Rohrgestell umfassen.According to the invention, this is a series connection according to the preamble of Claim 1 achieved in that at least one leg of the locking bracket with a different width, essentially sawtooth-shaped grid is provided, and that around the at least one leg a locking element is arranged, which consists essentially of an operating element and Snap noses in the form of a three-quarter tube, the snap noses include the tubular frame.

Die Vorteile der Erfindung bestehen darin, daß es gegenüber dem bekannten Stand der Technik mit nur einem zusätzlichen Bauteil, dem Arretierungselement, möglich ist, eine variable Reihenverbindung für mehrere Stuhlvarianten, d. h. unterschiedliche Stuhlbreiten, zu realisieren. Der Bügel ist somit universell und immer wieder einsetzbar. Das Arretierungselement ist leicht und einfach zu handhaben.The advantages of the invention are that it is compared to the known State of the art with only one additional component, the locking element, it is possible to have a variable row connection for several chair variants, d. H. different Chair widths to be realized. The bracket is therefore universal and always can be used again. The locking element is light and easy to use.

Es ist zweckmäßig, wenn der Rastbügel eine Stahldrahtkonstruktion ist, welche zwei Schenkel mit rundem Querschnitt aufweist, und wenn das Arretierungselement aus Kunststoff besteht und zusätzlich zwei Führungshülsen besitzt, welche die Schenkel umschließen. Die Hülsen dienen vorteilhaft der Geräuschdämpfung, sie verbessern außerdem die Gleiteigenschaften des Arretierungselementes und erleichtern somit die Bedienbarkeit.It is useful if the locking bracket is a steel wire construction, which has two legs with a round cross-section, and when the locking element is made of plastic and also has two guide sleeves, which enclose the thighs. The sleeves are advantageously used to dampen noise, they also improve the sliding properties of the locking element and thus make it easier to use.

Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Rastbügel und das Arretierungselement aus Kunststoff bestehen. In diesem Falle sind keine Hülsen am Arretierungselement notwendig.It is also advantageous if the locking bracket and the locking element Plastic. In this case there are no sleeves on the locking element necessary.

Schließlich kann es von Vorteil sein, wenn der Rastbügel ein Band mit einem rechteckigen Querschnitt und einem Schlitz zur Aufnahme des Einhängebügels ist. Diese Variante ist besonders einfach und daher preisgünstig herstellbar.Finally, it can be advantageous if the locking bracket is a band with a rectangular cross-section and a slot to accommodate the suspension bracket is. This variant is particularly simple and therefore inexpensive to manufacture.

Weg zur Ausführung der ErfindungWay of carrying out the invention

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand von drei Ausführungsbeispielen und der Figuren 1 bis 4 näher erläutert.The invention is described below using three exemplary embodiments and Figures 1 to 4 explained in more detail.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Seitenansicht einer erfindungsgemäßen Reihenverbindung für Mehrzweckstühle in einer ersten Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung, Fig. 2 die Draufsicht. Zum besseren Verständnis der Erfindung sollten beide Figuren gleichzeitig herangezogen werden.Fig. 1 shows a side view of a row connection according to the invention for Multi-purpose chairs in a first embodiment of the invention, Fig. 2 the Top view. To better understand the invention, both figures should be at the same time be used.

Die nicht als Ganzes dargestellten Mehrzweckstühle bestehen aus einer Sitzschale, einer Lehne und einem Rohrgestell. In Fig. 1 ist links das Rohrgestell 1' eines ersten Mehrzweckstuhles und in der Mitte das Rohrgestell 1 eines zweiten benachbarten Mehrzweckstuhles dargestellt. Zwecks Kopplung der Mehrzweckstühle für eine gerade Reihenverkettung ist ein Einhängebügel 2 des ersten Mehrzweckstuhles in einen Rastbügel 3 des zweiten Mehrzweckstuhles eingehängt. Der Rastbügel 3 ist in diesem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Stahldrahtkonstruktion mit runden Querschnitt. Der Rastbügel 3 weist gemäß Fig. 2 zwei Schenkel 4 auf, die an einem Ende zweimal jeweils um 90° umgebogen und zusätzlich nach oben abgewinkelt sind und dort eine Einhängeöffnung 5 für den Einhängebügel 2 bilden. Die beiden Schenkel 4 des Rastbügels 3 sind in Öffnungen des Rohrgestelles 1, welches sich unterhalb der Sitzschale befindet, verschiebbar angeordnet. Einer der beiden Schenkel 4 ist erfindungsgemäß mit einer unterschiedlich breiten im wesentlichen sägezahnförmigen Rasterung 6 versehen, wie besonders gut in Fig. 1 zu erkennen ist. Außerdem ist um die beiden Schenkel 4 ein Arretierungselement 7 angeordnet, welches aus einem Bedienelement 8, zwei Schnappnasen 9 und zwei die Schenkel 4 des Rastbügels 3 umschliessende Führungshülsen 10 besteht. Die Schnappnasen 9 umfassen das Rohrgestell 1 des Mehrzweckstuhles und dienen damit dem Halten der Reihenverbindung auf dem Rohr 1. Das Arretierungselement 7 ist aus Kunststoff gefertigt. Auf dem Bedienelement 8 des Arretierungelementes ist ein sich in Richtung der Sitzschale erstreckender Anschlag 11 vorgesehen, der bei Betätigung der "Klinke", d. h. einem Hochdrücken in Richtung Sitzschale dafür sorgt, daß der Kunststoff nicht überdehnt wird.The multipurpose chairs, not shown as a whole, consist of a seat shell, a backrest and a tubular frame. In Fig. 1, the tubular frame 1 'is on the left a first multi-purpose chair and in the middle the tubular frame 1 of a second shown adjacent multipurpose chair. For the purpose of coupling the multi-purpose chairs for a straight chain linkage is a suspension bracket 2 of the first Multi-purpose chair hung in a locking bracket 3 of the second multi-purpose chair. The locking bracket 3 is a steel wire construction in this first embodiment with round cross section. The latch bracket 3 has two according to FIG. 2 Leg 4, which is bent twice at one end by 90 ° and additionally are angled upwards and there is a suspension opening 5 for the suspension bracket 2 form. The two legs 4 of the locking bracket 3 are in openings of the tubular frame 1, which is located below the seat shell, displaceable arranged. According to the invention, one of the two legs 4 is different with one provided broad sawtooth-shaped grid 6, such as can be seen particularly well in FIG. 1. In addition, 4 is around the two legs a locking element 7 is arranged, which consists of an operating element 8, two Snap lugs 9 and two guide sleeves enclosing the legs 4 of the locking bracket 3 10 exists. The snap lugs 9 comprise the tubular frame 1 of the Multipurpose chair and thus serve to keep the row connection on the Tube 1. The locking element 7 is made of plastic. On the control element 8 of the locking element is in the direction of the seat shell extending stop 11 is provided which upon actuation of the "pawl", i.e. H. one Pushing up towards the seat shell ensures that the plastic does not is overstretched.

Die Funktionsweise der Reihenverbindung ist folgende: Das Bedienelement 8 wird mit seiner Klinke in Richtung Sitzschale nach oben gedrückt, maximal bis der Anschlag 11 an die Sitzschale stößt. Damit wird gewährleistet, daß sich der Rastbügel 3 in waagerechter Richtung verschieben läßt, d.h. die Schenkel 4 des Rastbügels 3 werden durch Öffnungen im Arretierungselement 7 hindurchgeschoben. Je nachdem, wie breit der Abstand zwischen den benachbarten zu verkettenden Mehrzweckstühlen ist, wird der Rastbügel unterschiedlich weit unter der Sitzschale hervorgezogen. Durch Loslassen des Bedienelementes 8 rastet der Bügel 3 in die Rasterung 6 ein. Die Führungshülsen 10 dämpfen die dabei entstehenden Geräusche und ermöglichen ein leichtes Gleiten. Wird die Reihenverbindung der Mehrzweckstühle nicht benötigt, so läßt sie sich problemlos unter die Sitzschale schieben.The row connection works as follows: The control element 8 is with its pawl pushed up towards the seat shell, up to the stop 11 hits the seat shell. This ensures that the locking bracket 3 can be moved in the horizontal direction, i.e. the legs 4 of the locking bracket 3 are pushed through openings in the locking element 7. ever according to how wide the distance between the neighboring ones to be concatenated Is multipurpose chairs, the snap-in bracket is located differently under the seat shell pulled out. By releasing the control element 8, the bracket snaps 3 in the grid 6. The guide sleeves 10 dampen the resulting Noise and allow easy gliding. If the row connection of the Multi-purpose chairs are not required, so they can be easily placed under the seat shell slide.

Fig. 3 zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel. Es unterscheidet sich von dem ersten Beispiel einerseits dadurch, daß an beiden Schenkeln 4 des Rastbügels 3 eine Rasterung 6 vorgesehen ist. Die Arretierung erfolgt somit zweiseitig, d. h. das Bedienelement 8 hat zwei Klinken, die gleichzeitig betätigt werden müssen. Andererseits ist der Rastbügel 3 bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel aus Kunststoff hergestellt, so daß auf Führungshülsen 10 hier verzichtet werden kann. Falls ein Rastbügel 3 aus Stahl oder einer anderen metallischen Legierung verwendet werden soll, dann ist es zweckmäßig, auch bei dieser zweiseitigen Arretierung ein Arretierungselement 7 mit Führungshülsen zu verwenden, um unerwünschte Geräusche beim Herausziehen oder Hineinschieben des Rastbügels 3 zu verhindern.Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment. It is different from the first Example on the one hand in that on both legs 4 of the locking bracket 3rd a grid 6 is provided. The locking is thus two-sided, d. H. the Control element 8 has two pawls that must be operated simultaneously. on the other hand the locking bracket 3 is made of plastic in this embodiment, so that there is no need for guide sleeves 10 here. If a locking bracket 3 made of steel or another metallic alloy then it is useful to have a locking element even with this two-sided locking 7 to use with guide sleeves to avoid unwanted noise to prevent when pulling out or pushing the locking bracket 3.

In Fig. 4 ist ein drittes Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellt. Der Rastbügel 3 ist in diesem Falle ein Band mit rechteckigem Querschnitt und einem Schlitz 5 zur Aufnahme des Einhängebügels. Der Rastbügel 3 (Band) hat nur einen Schenkel 4, der ebenfalls erfindunggemäss mit einer unterschiedlich breiten Rasterung 6 für die variable Reihenverkettung von Stühlen mit unterschiedlicher Breite versehen ist.4 shows a third exemplary embodiment. The locking bracket 3 is in this Trap a ribbon with a rectangular cross section and a slot 5 for receiving of the suspension bracket. The locking bracket 3 (band) has only one leg 4, which also according to the invention with a differently wide grid 6 for provide the variable chain of chairs with different widths is.
