Abstract

A rocking chair with an oscillating base, a seat affixed to the base and a back rest. The seat is provided with two downwardly projecting struts connected to lower oscillating sections at the lower ends, each section connected to an oscillating parallelogram formed by oscillating rods whereby the upper sections of the parallelogram are mounted inside the downwardly projecting struts at the bottom. The downwardly projecting struts are formed as a single component with a downwardly open U-shaped holding arc having flat lateral surfaces attached to the lower oscillating longitudinal sections. The upper sections are rotatably mounted inside the U-shaped holding arc as transversal carriers of a column affixed to a base plate.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schaukelsessel mit einem Schwingfuß, einer darauf befestigten Sitzfläche und einer Rückenlehne nach dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches.The invention relates to a rocking chair with a swinging foot, a seat mounted thereon and a backrest according to the preamble of the main claim.

Schaukelsessel unterscheiden sich von Schaukelstühlen, die üblicherweise bogenförmige Kufen im unteren Bereich haben, auf denen sie hin und her schwingen können, dadurch, dass sie in einem Fuß eine schwingende Mechanik besitzen, die es erlaubt, auch auf Teppichböden, die einen herkömmlichen (Kufen-) Schaukelstuhl zu sehr bremsen würden, Sessel aufzustellen, mit denen ähnlich wie in einem Schaukelstuhl geschaukelt werden kann. Anders als bei diesen ist jedoch meist die Rückenlehne in ihrer horizontalen Neigung gleichbleibend, wird also nicht wie bei einem Schaukelstuhl sich in ihrer Neigung beim Schaukeln verändern.Rocking armchairs differ from rocking chairs, which usually have arcuate runners in the lower area, on which they can swing back and forth, by having in one foot a swinging mechanism that allows, even on carpets, a conventional (skid- ) Rocking chair too much to set up chairs that can be rocked similar to a rocking chair. Unlike these, however, usually the backrest is consistent in its horizontal inclination, so will not change as in a rocking chair in its inclination when rocking.

Üblicherweise werden weiter Schwingfüße mit Pendel- oder Zug-Parallelogrammen verwendet, bei denen jedoch häufig auf Grund der Vielzahl an Hebelarmen und Gelenken die Sessel bald einen wackeligen Eindruck erzeugen. Dies ist unerwünscht, vielmehr wird ein solides, einem weichen Sessel angepaßtes Schaukeln und lange Haltbarkeit gewünscht.Usually swinging feet are also used with pendulum or train parallelograms, in which, however, often due to the large number of lever arms and joints, the armchairs soon produce a shaky impression. This is undesirable, but a solid, a soft armchair adapted swings and long durability is desired.

Weiter ergibt sich das Problem, daß einige dieser Schaukelstühle, insbesondere solche, die aus Holz gefertigt sind, mit dicht aneinander vorbeigleitenden Stangen ausgebildet sind, in die kleine Kinder, Haustiere oder auch die Benutzer selbst unbeabsichtigt eingreifen und sich - bei Bewegung des Sessels - erheblich verletzen können.Next, there is the problem that some of these rocking chairs, especially those made of wood, are formed with close to each other passing rods, in the small children, pets or the user even inadvertently intervene and - when the armchair movement - considerably can hurt.

Ein derartiger Schankelsessel is aus US-A-5 630 646 bekannt.Such a pan chair is known from US-A-5 630 646.

Die Erfindung hat sich daher als Aufgabe gestellt, eine stabile Konstruktion eines Schaukelsessels zu schaffen, bei der diese Nachteile nicht auftreten. Gleichzeitig soll eine möglichst komfortable, weitreichende Schwingbewegung bei niedriger Bauhöhe gewährleistet sein.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a stable construction of a rocking chair, in which these disadvantages do not occur. At the same time a comfortable, far-reaching swinging movement should be ensured at low height.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Schaukelsessel mit den Merkmalen des Hauptanspruches gelöst. Die Unteransprüche geben vorteilhafte Ausführungen an.This object is achieved by a rocking chair with the features of the main claim. The dependent claims indicate advantageous embodiments.

Insbesondere ist vorteilhaft, dass eine nach unten offene U-förmige Halteeinrichtung, ein Haltebogen die Verstrebungen zur Sitzfläche aufweist und als zentrale Befestigungs und Abdeckeinrichtung dient, wobei sie zudem noch derart massiv ausgeführt ist, dass keinerlei Spiel zwischen Sitzfläche und Haltebogen entstehen kann. Dieser Haltebogen wird mit flächigen Schenkeln ausgebildet, die an ihren nach unten offenen Enden mit dem unteren Abschnitt eines Schaukelparallelogramms verbunden sind, sodaß Gelenke nur auf Zug belastet werden.In particular, it is advantageous that a downwardly open U-shaped holding device, a tie has the struts to the seat and serves as a central fastening and covering, wherein it is also designed so massive that no play between the seat and tie can arise. This tie is formed with flat legs which are connected at their downwardly open ends to the lower portion of a Schaukelparallelogramms, so that joints are charged only to train.

Das heißt, das T-förmig die Endabschnitte des Haltebogens mit rechtwinklig zu diesen sich parallel im wesentlichen zum Boden erstreckenden noch immer mit der Sitzfläche fest verbundenen Elementen verbunden sind, an die über Schwenkgelenke im wesentlichen vertikal, vorzugsweise sich nach oben hin nach außen vom Zentrum des Haltebogens weg geneigten Stangen angesetzt sind, die in einem oberen Bereich des Schwingparallelogramms, dicht unterhalb der Sitzfläche, mit Querträgern verbunden sind. die querträger sind drehbar zu einer Bodenplatte, jedoch in ihrer Neigung fest bezüglich des Bodens, an einer Tragsäule angeordnet, in der ggf. noch eine Höhenverstellung vorgesehen werden kann.That is, the T-shaped end portions of the tether are connected at right angles to these substantially parallel to the ground extending still firmly connected to the seat elements, to the pivotal joints substantially vertically, preferably upwardly outwardly from the center of the tie bow inclined rods are attached, which are connected in an upper region of the Schwingparallelogramms, just below the seat, with cross members. the cross members are rotatable to a bottom plate, but fixed in their inclination with respect to the ground, arranged on a supporting column, in which, if necessary, a height adjustment can be provided.

Durch die geneigten Pendelstangen mit einer Anordnung am Ende der Querträger ist sichergestellt, dass auch bei maximaler Schaukelbewegung, der U-förmige Bogen nicht mit den oberen Enden der Pendeltäger derart eng korrespondieren kann, dass man sich einklemmen kann. Im unteren Bereich ist der U-förmige Bogen ohnehin mit den Tragelementen verbunden, so dass auch hier die Pendelstangen nicht klemmen können.Due to the inclined pendulum rods with an arrangement at the end of the cross member ensures that even with maximum rocking motion, the U-shaped arc can not correspond so closely with the upper ends of the pendulum support that you can pinch. In the lower part of the U-shaped arc is already connected to the support elements, so that here the pendulum rods can not clamp.

Durch die gewählte flächige Ausbildung des U-förmigen Haltebogens kann auch mit der Tragsäule kein Klemm-Kontakt hergestellt werden.Due to the selected planar design of the U-shaped tie bow can be made with the support column no clamping contact.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist an dem U-förmigen Haltebogen noch ein Arretierriegel vorgesehen, mit einem über die Verkleidung überstehenden Griff, so daß der am Haltebogen gelagerte Riegel in entsprechende Riegelaufnahmen, auf dem an der Säule befestigten Querträger eingreifen können. Vorzugsweise sind die Riegel derart ausgebildet, dass eine mit dem Griff betätigte Stange in beide Querträger gleichartig eingreift, um so den Sessel in einer bestimmten Schwingposition arretiert werden kann.In a preferred embodiment, a locking bolt is still provided on the U-shaped retaining bow, with a handle projecting beyond the panel, so that the latch mounted on the retaining bow can engage in corresponding bolt receptacles on the cross member fixed to the column. Preferably, the bolts are designed such that a rod operated by the handle engages identically in both transverse beams, so that the armchair can be locked in a certain oscillating position.

Weiter kann zur zusätzlichen Vermeidung von Eingreif in die Mechanik eine feststehende Verkleidung an diesen Querträgern angesetzt werden, die noch immer zur Bodenplatte hin feststehend, ggf. aber drehbar mit den Querträgern, lediglich in einen oberen Bereich, in dem die Verstrebungen zwischen Sesseln und U-förmigen Haltebogen vorgesehen sind, eine oder mehrere, ggf. schlitzförmige Öffnungen besitzt, durch die die Verstrebungen während des Schaukelns passieren.Further, for additional avoidance of intervention in the mechanics a fixed cladding can be attached to these cross beams, which are still fixed to the bottom plate, but possibly rotatable with the cross members, only in an upper area in which the struts between armchairs and U- are provided, one or more, possibly slot-shaped openings through which the struts happen during rocking.

Seitlich, insbesondere benachbart den Pendelstangen ist die Verkleidung jedoch stets überdeckend, so dass keinerlei Eingriff möglich ist. In Ihrem unteren Bereich reicht die Verkleidung bis knapp oberhalb einer Bodenplatte kann ggf. noch mit bürstenartiger Kante versehen werden, um sicherzustellen, dass kein Staub in die Verkleidung von unten her eindringt. Gleichzeitig wird die Bodenplatte beim Verdrehen des Stuhl auf diese Weise vom Staub gereinigt.Laterally, in particular adjacent to the pendulum rods, however, the panel is always overlapping, so that no interference is possible. In the lower area, the cladding reaches just above a floor slab and may possibly be provided with a brush-like edge to ensure that no dust penetrates into the cladding from below. At the same time, the base plate is cleaned when turning the chair in this way from the dust.

Die erwünschte Steifigkeit der Vorrichtung ergibt sich insbesondere durch die vorzugsweise über einen langen Bereich der flächigen Seitenfläche des U-förmigen Haltebogens angeschweißten unteren Längsabschnitte des Schwingparallelogramms, die äußerst stabil ausgeführt werden können. Lediglich acht Schwenkpunkte im Parallelogrammgestänge die in den vier Endpunkten der Pendelstangen angeordnet sind, werden beim Schwingen gleichmäßig belastet. Durch den U-förmigen Haltebogen ist sichergestellt, dass Querbelastungen gleichmäßig in das Parallelogrammgestänge eingeleitet werden.The desired rigidity of the device results in particular by the preferably welded over a long range of the flat side surface of the U-shaped tie bow lower longitudinal sections of the swing parallelogram, which can be made extremely stable. Only eight pivot points in the parallelogram linkage which are arranged in the four end points of the pendulum rods are evenly loaded during swinging. The U-shaped tie ensures that lateral loads are evenly introduced into the parallelogram linkage.

Der in der Fig. 1 dargestellte Schaukelsessel ruht mit seiner Bodenplatte 26 auf beliebigem Boden. Sitzfläche 12 und Rückenlehne 14 sind über Verstrebungen 28 (die anders als in der Zeichnung dargestellt, bevorzugt an den Armlehnen angreifen) mit einem U-förmigen nach unten offenen Halteelement 16 mit einem Schwingparallelogramm verbunden. Dieses weist vier Pendelstangen 18 auf, die im wesentlichen vertikal, jedoch im oberen Bereich nach außen schräg stehend zwischen Querträgerelementen 20 und 22 angeordnet sind. Die Sitzfläche und die Rückenlehne sind dabei (nicht dargestellt) mit einer üblichen Recliner-Mechanik versehen, die bei einem Neigen der Rückenlehne nach hinten die Sitzfläche vorschiebt, so daß der Schwerpunkt gewahrt bleibtThe rocking chair shown in Fig. 1 rests with its bottom plate 26 on any ground. Seat 12 and backrest 14 are connected by struts 28 (which, unlike in the drawing, preferably act on the armrests) with a U-shaped downwardly open holding member 16 with a swinging parallelogram. This has four pendulum rods 18, which are arranged substantially vertically, but in the upper region outwardly inclined between cross member elements 20 and 22. The seat and the backrest are (not shown) provided with a conventional Recliner mechanism that advances the seat when tilting the back to the rear, so that the center of gravity is maintained

In der Fig. 2 ist der gleiche Aufbau von der Rückseite her gesehen dargestellt Zusätzlich findet sich eine gestrichelt dargestellte mit Bezugszeichen 32 versehene Verkleidung, im wesentlichen eng anliegend an den U-förmigen Haltebogen, die jedoch vorzugsweise an Punkt 34 nicht mit diesem Haltebogen, sondern mit den noch mit der Bodenfestplatte fest, ggf. jedoch drehbar verbundenen Querträgern 22 befestigt ist.In addition, there is a dashed lined with reference numeral 32 provided panel, substantially close to the U-shaped tie, but preferably at point 34 not with this tie, but with the still fixed to the bottom hard disk, but possibly rotatably connected cross members 22 is attached.

In Fig. 4 ist die Verkleidung 32 perspektivisch dargestellt, und in der Fig. 5 schließlich ist die Oberseite der Verkleidung 32, die sich bogenförmig im Bereich des Haltebügels zur Aussparung einer Bewegungsmöglichkeit für die Verstrebungen 28 ausgebildet, von der Seite her dargestellt. Nochmals deutlich ist das Schwingparallelogramm mit den Pendelstangen 18 zwischen dem oberen Querträger 22 und dem unteren Querträger 20 dargestellt, wobei der Haltebogen 16 bereits gegen die Säule 24 ein wenig nach vorne verschoben ist.In Fig. 4, the panel 32 is shown in perspective, and in Fig. 5, finally, the top of the panel 32, which is arcuately formed in the region of the retaining clip to recess a possibility of movement for the struts 28, shown from the side. Once again clearly the swing parallelogram is shown with the pendulum rods 18 between the upper cross member 22 and the lower cross member 20, the tie 16 is already shifted against the column 24 a little bit forward.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform (nicht dargestellt) ist ein Riegel an dem Haltebogen 16 vorgesehen, der vorzugsweise mit zwei in entsprechende mehrfach vorgesehene Kerben oder Bohrungen auf dem Element 22 eingreifenden Vorsprüngen oder Bolzenabschnitten versehen ist, um den Stuhl in einer beliebigen Position zu arretieren. Hierzu kann vorgesehen werden, dass das Element 22 ähnlich wie die Oberseite der Verkleidung 32 bogenförmig, entsprechend der sich einstellenden Pendelbewegung des Elementes 16 ausgebildet ist Alternativ kann eine zusätzliche bogenförmige Lochschiene vorgesehen werden.In a preferred embodiment (not shown), a latch is provided on the tie-bow 16, which is preferably provided with two projections or bolt portions engaging in corresponding multiple notches or bores on the element 22 to lock the chair in any position. For this purpose, it can be provided that the element 22 is similar to the top of the panel 32 arcuate, corresponding to the self-adjusting pendulum movement of the element 16 is formed Alternatively, an additional arcuate hole rail can be provided.

Weiter wird in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ein bewegungssynchronisierter Fußhocker vorgesehen, der ebenfalls in dem Haltebogen 16 über entsprechende stabile Streben angesetzt werden kann. Durch die im wesentlichen der Breite der Armlehnen, d. h. ein Vielfaches der Breite der Pendelstangen entsprechende Breite der seitlichen Abstände dieses Haltebogens kann eine sichere Befestigung der Streben sichergestellt werden. Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, a motion-synchronized footstool is provided, which can likewise be attached in the retaining bow 16 via corresponding stable struts. Due to the width of the armrests, d. H. a multiple of the width of the pendulum rods corresponding width of the lateral distances of this tie a secure attachment of the struts can be ensured.
