Abstract

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Verstelleinrichtung für ein Liege- oder Sitzmöbel mit mindestens einem über eine Torsionsstange (20, 22) verschwenkbar am Liege oder Sitzmöbel gehaltenen Schwenkteil (12, 14), mit einem Gehäuse (26) und einem im Gehäuse (26) angeordneten Lagerelement (38, 40), wobei im Lagerelement (38, 40) eine die Torsionsstange (20, 22) teilweise umgreifende Aussparung (66, 68) vorgesehen ist, in welche die Torsionsstange (20, 22) einführbar ist, so dass die Verstellvorrichtung (24) formschlüssig an der Torsionsstange (20, 22) gehalten ist, und mit einem im Gehäuse (26) untergebrachten, auf die Torsionsstange (20, 22) wirkenden Stellantrieb (46, 48). Eine Verstelleinrichtung zu schaffen, die einfach am Möbel zu montieren und die kostengünstig in der Herstellung ist wird dadurch erreicht, dass der Stellantrieb (46, 48) die Torsionsstange (20, 22) in die Aussparung (66, 68) drückt.

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to an adjusting device for a piece of reclining or seating furniture with at least one swivel part (12, 14) pivotably held on the reclining or seating furniture by means of a torsion bar (20, 22), with a housing (26) and one arranged in the housing (26) Bearing element (38, 40), a recess (66, 68) partially encompassing the torsion bar (20, 22) being provided in the bearing element (38, 40), into which the torsion bar (20, 22) can be inserted, so that the adjusting device (24) is held in a form-fitting manner on the torsion bar (20, 22) and with an actuator (46, 48) which is accommodated in the housing (26) and acts on the torsion bar (20, 22). To create an adjustment device that is easy to assemble on the furniture and that is inexpensive to manufacture is achieved in that the actuator (46, 48) presses the torsion bar (20, 22) into the recess (66, 68).
