Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sitting / lying furniture, in particular a chair or chair, with a seat part and a back part.
  • Such furniture is basically known.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a sitting / reclining furniture of the type mentioned, which is characterized by great design freedom by the best possible comfort properties and high functionality.
  • the invention provides a cantilever with massage function is provided, whereby the elegance of a cantilever is connected to the comfort of a massage device.
  • a cantilever as he for example from the German utility model DE 202 00 407 U1 is known, characterized in particular by a light and graceful-looking construction.
  • electric massagers are offered on account of their relatively high weight in connection with comparatively large and heavy television and recliners.
  • the invention thus combines areas of furniture construction, which were previously considered incompatible.
  • the back part with respect to the seat part is adjustable in angle and preferably hingedly connected to the seat part.
  • the tilt adjustment of the back section further improves comfort and functionality.
  • a holding device for the back part is preferably provided, which counteracts a gravity-induced self-adjustment of the back part.
  • a preferred functionality of the cantilever chair according to the invention can be ensured by the holding device, after which the user can cause a tilt adjustment of the back part in both directions by simple weight transfer.
  • the holding device promotes a self-adjusting movement of the back part directed counter to.
  • the retainer may store energy and release that energy back into the upright position to assist in adjusting the back portion to assist the user in moving the relatively heavy back portion against gravity.
  • the holding device is designed and arranged such that in the direction of a self-adjustment of the back part effective forces are at least approximately compensated by the holding device.
  • this compensation is at least substantially given for the entire inclination angle range of the back part.
  • the seat / reclining furniture according to the invention in each position of the back is effectively in a state of equilibrium, in which all the forces acting on the back and forces moments that seek to adjust the back in both the one and in the other direction, each other straight cancel.
  • the cantilever according to the invention in particular its holding device, be designed such that the additional influence of a person sitting on the furniture or lying user is also considered.
  • the movement of the adjusting movement of the back part is adjustable.
  • the user can make a continuous adjustment of a particularly smooth to a particularly stiff adjustment.
  • the forces or torques acting counteracting a gravitational self-adjustment of the back part can be adjusted specifically.
  • the holding device preferably comprises a spring device, in particular in the form of at least one gas spring.
  • the backrest 13 is pivotally connected to a seat part 11 and pivotable about a pivot axis 35 relative to the seat part 11.
  • the seating / reclining furniture is in the Fig. 1 and 2 without upholstery, whereas in plan view the Fig. 3 the outline of a back padding 53 is shown.
  • the backrest 13 may be connected to a head part which is not provided in the illustrated exemplary embodiment and is also designated as a neck support and which is pivotable relative to the backrest 13 about an axis extending parallel to the pivot axis 35. It can be provided that the position of the head part with respect to the backrest 13 of the inclination with respect to the seat part 11 is dependent.
  • the head part can be adjusted by means of an actuating rod, which is articulated with its one end to the head part and with its opposite end to the seat part 11.
  • the seat / reclining furniture according to the invention is a so-called cantilever with a support structure comprising two parallel staggered, each extending in a vertical plane supporting bracket 15 which are connected to a base part 39.
  • the mounting bracket 15 are preferably made made of wood, but can also be made of a different material, such as a wood laminate, an additional metal reinforcement or exclusively made of metal.
  • the mounting brackets 15 each have an approximately horizontally extending horizontal portion 19, a horizontally extending, connected to the base portion 39 base portion 17 and an approximately S-shaped hinge portion 21 which connects the horizontal portion 19 and the base portion 17 and with a comparatively short, Approximately vertically extending portion 43 merges into the base portion 17.
  • the backrest 13 is supported with an intermediate region at the rear free ends of the horizontal sections 19 and pivotable about a horizontal axis 23 there.
  • the seat part 11 is supported in each case with a downwardly projecting guide portion 37 on an obliquely upward, slightly curved and with its concave side of the horizontal portion 19 facing forced guide portion 27 of the hinge portion 21.
  • This forced guidance of the seat part 11 or the guide portions 37 on the support brackets 15 can in principle be effected in any desired manner, for example by means of rolling or sliding elements.
  • the positive guidance in the joint portions 21 include integrated and in particular made of metal guide rails, wherein the guide portions 37 of the seat part 11, for example, as the guide rails encompassing slide saddles are formed, each having a translational movement of the Seat part 11 allow relative to the support bracket 15 only along the predetermined path by the guide rail.
  • the seat part 11 is also pivotable about a horizontal, extending in the region of the guide portions 37 axis relative to the hinge portion 21.
  • an adjustment device is provided in the region of the guide section 37, by means of which the mobility of the positive guidance of the seat part 11 on the joint section 21 can be adjusted.
  • “Adjustable mobility” means that the forced operation can be set by the user relatively smooth or relatively stiff, with any intermediate settings are possible.
  • the adjusting device is designed such that a fixing or blocking of the guide section 37 on the hinge section 21 is not possible, that is, the adjusting device is not a locking device.
  • the user can provide for a particularly sluggish displacement of the seat part 11 relative to the support bracket 15, but not determine the seat part 11 on the support brackets 15.
  • the support bracket 15, the back part 13 and the seat part 11 each form a closed lateral hinge frame whose shape is changed by adjusting the inclination of the back part 13.
  • This change in shape of the lateral hinge frame 36, 36 ' is caused by the inclination adjustment of the backrest 13, this main effect can be superimposed on a caused by the pivoting or swinging of the horizontal portions 19, to an additional change in shape of the hinge frame 36, 36' leading side effect, if appropriate Forces act on the cantilever.
  • the cantilever according to the invention is further characterized in that in the back part 13, an electric massage device 14 is integrated. Details of the massage device 14 will not be discussed in detail, since such massage devices are generally known, but in connection with relatively large and heavy television and chairs.
  • the massage device 14 comprises a substantially extending over the entire height and width of the back part 13 frame 49 which carries a plurality of massage units 51 which are movable relative to the frame 49 by means of one or more rotationally driven spindles in height.
  • the massage units 51 each comprise one or more massage arms which carry massage rollers or other massage elements at their free ends and by means of eccentric drive shafts can be set in motion to simultaneously perform various massage movements, which will not be discussed further here.
  • the massage device 14 comprises a plurality of electric motors, which are likewise integrated in the back part 13.
  • the back part 13 is constructed such that the massage device 14 can be completely absorbed and the maximum dimensions of the back part 13 are determined essentially by the dimensions of the massage device 14. Due to the integration of the massage device 14, therefore, the dimensions of the back portion 13 in comparison to known cantilevered therefore increase in a particularly acceptable in aesthetic terms measure. In particular, with regard to the depth of the back part 13 is only as large as it is required due to the massage device 14.
  • a holding device in the form of two laterally arranged gas springs 16 is provided.
  • the gas springs 16 are each mounted with their one end in the region of the lower front edge of the back part 13 and with its other end on a guide section 37 attached, obliquely projecting tab 45.
  • the cantilever including the gas springs 16 is designed in a matched to the possible movements of the back portion 13 and in particular its weight such that taking into account the additional weight of sitting on the cantilever and leaning against the back part 13 user acting on the back part 13 Forces and moments including the action of the gas springs 16 at least approximately cancel.
  • the cantilever is always independent of the inclination of the backrest 13 in a state of equilibrium.
  • the gas springs 16 thus ensure that the cantilever is always "balanced” despite the comparatively heavy back part 13 and thus can be used with respect to its inclination adjustability for the user as a cantilever chair with a relatively light back.
