  • the invention has for its object the seating comfort of such Increase seating.
  • the backrest of the seating furniture according to the invention increases one Free seat depth when the backrest is tilted more
  • the backrest moves backwards when tilted in relation to the seat, this extends a seat and leg support for the stronger seat Tilting the backrest, so when leaning back the body / upper body what is generally perceived as pleasant.
  • the seating furniture according to the invention has a headrest that stands up with increasing inclination of the backrest.
  • the headrest With steep Backrest, the headrest is preferably sunk or folded away it does not appear visually and the seating furniture is less bulky Appearance there. If the backrest is inclined, i.e. one body / upper body leaning back on the person seated, the headrest stands up, so that the head can be ajar, which is the convenience of the Seating increased with the backrest inclined.
  • the backrest when leaning back towards the seat move, the backrest in a conventional manner with sliding or Curve guides, swivel lever guides or the like can be moved on the seating be led.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides a pivoting surface with which the backrest is attached to the seating furniture so that it can be pivoted back and forth.
  • the Swivel covering is arranged and designed so that the inclination of the Backrest enlarged when swiveling backrest.
  • the provision of a swivel covering as a guide for the backrest means a simple, inexpensive and stable guiding of the backrest.
  • the headrest can be raised and lowered on the backrest be led.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides a swivel joint for the Headrest, which is attached in an upper region of the backrest and with the headrest between one backwards or downwards swiveled into an upright position, the backrest approximately extending position is pivotable.
  • This configuration also has the invention, a swivel lever gear for setting up the headrest. The Swivel lever gear is driven by tilting the backrest and swivels the headrest upwards when the backrest is inclined.
  • the seating furniture has a gear for the Seat on.
  • This gear is driven by the backrest and moves the Seat with increasing inclination of the backrest in relation to the backrest forward. This ensures that the free seat depth of the seat with increasing inclination of the backrest increases.
  • This movement of the seat forward with increasing inclination of the backrest can in addition to one Backrest movement takes place with increasing inclination, which is a correspondingly greater extension of the free seat depth of the Seat results.
  • the movement of the seat forward when the backrest is inclined can also be done without moving the backrest backwards. The bigger one Extending the free seat depth increases the comfort of the seat.
  • the gear for the seat is in one embodiment of the invention as Swivel lever gear designed and therefore inexpensive and stable producible.
  • the transmission for the seat lowers at the same time with the movement of the seat forward when tilting the backrest the seat in the rear area, i.e. in the area of the backrest. It will thereby with the inclination of the backrest also the seat inclined, which also increases the comfort of the seating.

  • the backrest 14 is attached to the seating furniture 10 with a swivel fitting.
  • the Pivot fitting comprises two or more pivot levers 16, which are parallel and are congruently arranged side by side, so that in the illustrated Side view only a pivot lever 16 is visible.
  • the pivot lever 16 is around a swivel joint 18 with a horizontal swivel axis, which fixedly arranged below the seat 12 in the rear area is.
  • the pivot lever 16 is rectangular to a C-shaped bracket around a bent around the rear edge of the seat 12. From an upper end of the C-shaped A frame 20 of the backrest 14 protrudes at right angles from the bracket, which in the illustrated embodiment is an integral part of the Swivel lever 16 of the backrest 14 is.
