Grundsätzlich kann eine Aufteilung des Polstermöbel-Eckelementes in zwei Baugruppen beliebig erfolgen, vorausgesetzt, daß jede der Baugruppen dem Erfordernis nach leichter Transportierbarkeit entspricht.Basically, the upholstered corner element can be divided into two assemblies arbitrary, provided that each of the assemblies meet the requirement corresponds to easy portability.

Besonders zweckmäßig ist allerdings, wenn eine Baugruppe aus der Rückenlehne und die andere Baugruppe aus dem Sitz besteht.It is particularly useful, however, if an assembly from the backrest and the other assembly consists of the seat.

Eine derart gestaltete Trennung oder Aufteilung des Polstermöbel-Eckelementes in zwei Baugruppen ergibt einerseits leicht transportierbare Baugruppen und andererseits wird der Vorteil erreicht, daß dem zusammengesetzten Polstermöbel-Eckelement nicht anzusehen ist, daß hier zwei Baugruppen zusammengefaßt worden sind.Such a separation or division of the upholstered corner element into two assemblies on the one hand results in easily transportable assemblies and on the other hand the advantage is achieved that the composite upholstered corner element it cannot be seen that two assemblies have been combined here are.

Um sowohl das Trennen wie auch das Zusammenfügen der einzelnen Baugruppen zu vereinfachen und auch in zeitlich schneller Reihenfolge durchführen zu können, ist nach einer Weiterentwicklung der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß die Rückenlehne und der Sitz im zusammengefügten Zustand über Schnellverschluß-Elemente miteinander verbunden sind.To both separate and assemble the individual assemblies to simplify and also to be able to carry them out in quicker order, is provided according to a further development of the invention that the backrest and the seat in the assembled state with quick-release elements are connected.

Hierbei können grundsätzlich alle geeigneten Schnellverschluß-Elemente zum Einsatz gelangen, eine besonders vorteilhafte Variante besteht allerdings darin, daß die Rückenlehne und der Sitz über Kniehebel-Verschlüsse miteinander verbunden sind. In principle, all suitable quick-release elements can be used get a particularly advantageous variant, however, is that the The backrest and the seat are connected to each other via toggle locks are.

Derartige Kniehebel-Verschlüsse können praktisch werkzeuglos betätigt werden und ermöglichen eine leichte und sichere Handhabung sowohl beim Trennen wie auch beim Zusammenfügen der beiden Baugruppen.Such toggle locks can be operated practically without tools and enable easy and safe handling both when separating and also when joining the two modules.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind Gegenstand weiterer Unteransprüche.Further features of the invention are the subject of further dependent claims.
