Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sitting and / or reclining furniture with a Seat part as well as with a leg support, the one leg rest and a stroke-pivoting device comprises, by means of derer the legrest can be raised and lowered relative to the seat part and thereby positively controlled by a horizontal and transverse to the viewing direction of the user extending pivot axis is pivotable.
  • this object is achieved according to the invention solved that on a sitting and / or lying furniture the type specified the leg rest of the Hub swivel device decouples around a horizontal and transverse to the line of sight of the user extending pivot axis from the positively controlled set pivot position in at least one of them different pivot position is pivotable and can be fixed in this pivot position.
  • the forcibly adjusted by means of the lifting and pivoting device Pivot position of the leg rest can therefore be as needed change.
  • the legrest can be as required be transferred to a position that best suits the needs the user is tuned and the accordingly offers maximum ease of use.
  • the hub swivel device only provides one in these cases Coarse adjustment of the leg rest.
  • the leg rest decoupled from the hub pivoting device in at least a pivoting position for knee support pivoting and in This pivotal position can be fixed (claim 2).
  • the inventive seat and / or allowed Reclining his user in addition to taking a comfortable Resting also taking a kneeling position, like her For example, selected as ergonomically favorable working posture can be.
  • the Erfindungsbauart according to claim 5 is distinguished by a wide variation in the possibilities to adjust the leg rest. Already due the decoupled from the hub pivoting pivoting of the leg support wearer can for the leg rest positions be chosen, the special needs of the furniture user Take into account. The resulting is extended Range of settings still through the Circumstance that also the position of the legrest opposite the leg support is variable.
  • a locking device by means of a Controlled control device and thus automatically operated, in particular is solvable.
  • An automatic release of the leg rest in its displacement position securing connection with the leg rest support may be required, for example, when the leg rest in their positively controlled stroke pivoting movement with Objects or facilities in the vicinity of the invention Sitting and / or lying furniture collides. Is in In such cases, the displacement protection of the leg rest solved, then on the one hand a collision-related Damage to the leg rest avoided. At the same time by loosening the connection between leg rest and leg rest support blocking the positively controlled lifting pivoting movement the leg rest can be prevented. After this Loosening of said connection may be the legrest rather automatically avoid the obstacle and thus the positively controlled Continue stroke swivel movement.
  • Claim 10 describes a type of the invention Sitting and / or lying furniture, in case of need for the greatest possible ease of use also by the design and arrangement of the Hub-swivel device bill worn. After the described boom assembly relatively to the viewing direction of the furniture user builds small and extends between the legs of the user, there is an easy possibility for this when taking a sitting or lying position and at the same time lifted leg rest to the floor without being affected by the hub-pivoting device would be hampered.
