Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde ein Sitz- oder Liegemöbel mit verschieden positionierbarer Lehne zu verbessern.The invention has the object to improve a sitting or reclining furniture with different positionable backrest.

Dies wird bei einem Möbel der eingangs genannten Art mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 erreicht.This is achieved with a furniture of the type mentioned above with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Dadurch, dass die mindestens eine Rückenlehne oder Armlehne in sich selber gelenkig und/oder flexibel ausgestaltet ist, so dass sie sich beim Positionieren entlang der Sitzfläche gesteuert an diese anpasst, kann eine weitgehend freie Form der Sitzfläche gewählt werden und trotzdem kann die Rückenlehne an beliebiger Stelle der Sitz- bzw. Liegefläche positioniert werden. Die Beschränkung auf einfach kreisbogenförmige Konturen der Sitzfläche entfällt und deren Umfang kann dort, wo die Rückenlehne oder Armlehne positionierbar ist, konvex oder konkav verlaufende Abschnitte aufweisen.Characterized in that the at least one backrest or armrest is designed in itself hinged and / or flexible, so that it adapts to the positioning controlled along the seat at this, a largely free form of the seat can be selected and still the backrest can at any Place the sitting or lying surface are positioned. The restriction to simple circular arc-shaped contours of the seat deleted and the scope may, where the backrest or armrest is positioned, have convex or concave sections.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist dann die Sitzfläche sowohl konkav (eingebuchtet) wie konvex (ausgebuchtet) verlaufende Abschnitte der Umfangskontur auf und vorzugsweise ist die Rückenlehne bzw. sind die Rückenlehnen entlang des gesamten Umfanges der Sitz- bzw. Liegefläche positionierbar. Damit kann ein Sofa mit um 180° unterschiedlicher Sitzrichtung und unterschiedlicher Form der freien Sitzfläche geschaffen werden. Bevorzugterweise übergreift die Rückenlehne die Sitzfläche. Ebenfalls bevorzugt ist es, wenn die Rückenlehne die Stirnseite der Sitzfläche überdeckt, insbesondere vollständig überdeckt. Auf diese Weise können die Steuermittel, die die Biegebewegung der Rückenlehne steuern, nicht sichtbar sein. Insbesondere ist dies weiter der Fall, wenn die Steuermittel unter der Sitzfläche angeordnet sind. Als Steuermittel sind vorzugsweise mindestens eine Schiene vorgesehen, auf der pro Rückenlehne mindestens zwei Wagen gleitend oder rollend bewegbar sind, welche mit der Rückenlehne verbunden sind. Vorzugsweise sind die Steuermittel so ausgeführt, dass sie nicht nur die Biegebewegung der Rückenlehne beim Verfahren derselben steuern, sondern die Rückenlehne auch tragen und gegen die beim Anlehnen von Benützern des Möbels an die Rückenlehne auftretenden Kräfte abstützen. Vorzugsweise ist ferner jede Rückenlehne aus 5 oder 7 Elementen gebildet.In a preferred embodiment, then the seat has both concave (indented) as well as convex (bulging) extending portions of the peripheral contour and preferably the backrest or the backrests along the entire circumference of the sitting or lying surface can be positioned. Thus, a sofa with 180 ° different seating direction and different shape of the free seat can be created. Preferably, the backrest engages over the seat surface. It is also preferred if the backrest covers the end face of the seat, in particular completely covered. In this way, the control means controlling the bending movement of the backrest may not be visible. In particular, this is further the case when the control means are arranged under the seat. As a control means at least one rail are preferably provided on the per backrest at least two carriages are sliding or rolling movable, which are connected to the backrest. Preferably, the control means are designed so that they not only control the bending movement of the backrest in the process of the same, but also support the backrest and supported against the forces occurring when leaning users of the furniture to the backrest forces. Preferably, each backrest is further formed of 5 or 7 elements.

Wege zur Ausführung der ErfindungWays to carry out the invention

Während in der vorliegenden Anmeldung bevorzugte Ausführungen der Erfindung beschrieben sind, ist klar darauf hinzuweisen, dass die Erfindung nicht auf diese beschränkt ist und in auch anderer Weise innerhalb des Umfangs der folgenden Ansprüche ausgeführt werden kann.While preferred embodiments of the invention are described in the present application, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto and may be embodied otherwise within the scope of the following claims.

Die Figuren 1 bis 3 zeigen in schaubildlicher Darstellung eine Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemässen Sitz- und/oder Liegemöbels als Sofa. Dies ist eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform, es sind indes auch Ausführungen als reines Liegemöbel (Bett) oder als kleineres Sitzmöbel möglich, welches ein Liegen von der Grösse her nicht erlaubt. Das gezeigte Sofa 1 weist eine Sitzfläche 2 auf, welche auf einem Untergestell mit den Füssen 8 ruht. Im gezeigten Beispiel sind zwei Rückenlehnen 3 und 4 vorgesehen, wobei dies nur als Beispiel zu verstehen ist, da auch nur eine Rückenlehne oder mehr als zwei Rückenlehnen vorgesehen sein könnten. Erfindungsgemäss können nun die Rückenlehnen an verschiedenen Bereichen des Umfanges 5 des Sofas positioniert werden und biegen sich entlang des Verstellweges so, dass sie sich an die Form des Umfanges bzw. die Umfangskontur der Sitz- und/oder Liegefläche anpassen. In den Figuren 1 bis 3 ist dies gut ersichtlich, indem die Rückenlehnen 3, 4 aus der Stellung von Figur 1 in Richtung der dort gezeigten Pfeile verschoben werden, wobei sich die Rückenlehne 3 entsprechend der stark gekrümmten Umfangskontur des Abschnittes 32 des Randes 5 biegt und sich entsprechend an die Form der Sitz-und/oder Liegefläche anpasst. Dasselbe geschieht bei der Rückenlehne 4, welche sich an die weniger stark, aber ebenfalls konvex gekrümmte Umfangskontur des Abschnittes 31 des Randes anpasst. Aus der Stellung der Rückenlehnen von Figur 2 werden diese dann in Richtung der Pfeile von Figur 2 verfahren, wodurch die Rückenlehne 4 in die in Figur 3 gezeigte Stellung zurückgefahren wird und die Rückenlehne 3 weiter entlang des Umfanges 5 verfahren wird und in den konkav verlaufenden Bereich 30 des Umfanges gelangt und sich auch an diesen anpasst. Natürlich sind die gezeigten Positionen für die Rückenlehnen nur als Beispiel zu verstehen und es kann bevorzugterweise jede Rückenlehne vollständig um die Sitz- und/oder Liegefläche 2 herumgefahren werden und passt sich auf dem ganzen Verfahrweg an die Umfangskontur derselben an. So könnte z.B. ausgehend von Figur 3 die Rückenlehne 4 wieder gemäss dem in Figur 3 gezeigten Pfeil verfahren werden, bis sie an die Rückenlehne 3 anschliesst, so dass sich ein Sofa wieder mit geschlossener durchgehender Rükkenlehne wie in Figur 1 bildet, bei dem aber die Sitzposition um 180° verschieden ist, da auch die Rückenlehnen in eine um 180° verschiedene Position verfahren worden sind. Es ist auch möglich, den Verfahrweg einer oder mehrerer Rückenlehnen zu beschränken, doch ist, wie erwähnt, ein vollständiges Verfahren um die Sitz- und/oder Liegefläche herum bevorzugt. Es ist auch eine Ausgestaltung möglich, bei der eine oder mehrere Rückenlehnen fix angeordnet sind und nur eine weitere oder mehrere weitere Rückenlehnen unter Anpassung an die Umfangskontur verfahrbar sind.The FIGS. 1 to 3 show a perspective view of an embodiment of an inventive seat and / or reclining furniture as a sofa. This is a preferred embodiment, but it is also embodiments as a pure reclining furniture (bed) or as a smaller seating possible, which does not allow a lying on the size. The sofa 1 shown has a seat 2, which rests on a base with the feet 8. In the example shown, two backrests 3 and 4 are provided, this being understood only as an example, since only one backrest or more than two backrests could be provided. According to the invention, the backrests can now be positioned at different areas of the circumference 5 of the sofa and bend along the adjustment so that they adapt to the shape of the circumference or the peripheral contour of the sitting and / or lying surface. In the FIGS. 1 to 3 This is clearly visible by the backrests 3, 4 from the position of FIG. 1 be moved in the direction of the arrows shown there, wherein the backrest 3 bends according to the strongly curved peripheral contour of the portion 32 of the edge 5 and conforms to the shape of the seat and / or lying surface accordingly. The same happens in the backrest 4, which adapts to the less strong, but also convex curved peripheral contour of the section 31 of the edge. From the position of the backrests of FIG. 2 then these are in the direction of the arrows of FIG. 2 method, whereby the backrest 4 in the in FIG. 3 shown position is moved back and the backrest 3 is moved further along the circumference 5 and enters the concave portion 30 of the circumference and also adapts to this. Of course, the positions shown for the backrests are to be understood as an example only, and it is preferable that each backrest be completely driven around the seating and / or lying surface 2 and conforms to the peripheral contour thereof throughout the travel. For example, starting from FIG. 3 the backrest 4 again according to the in FIG. 3 shown arrow until it adjoins the backrest 3, so that a sofa again with closed continuous backrest as in FIG. 1 forms, but in which the seat position is different by 180 °, as well as the backrests have been moved to a different position by 180 °. It is also possible to limit the travel of one or more backrests, but as mentioned a complete procedure around the seating and / or lying surface is preferred. It is also an embodiment possible in which one or more backrests are arranged fixed and only one more or more other backrests are movable under adaptation to the peripheral contour.

Did Rückenlehnen bestehen aus mehreren gelenkig verbundenen Elementen 10, welche beim Verfahren entlang der Umfangskontur durch Steuermittel an diese angepasst werden.Did backrests consist of several articulated elements 10, which are adapted to the process along the peripheral contour by control means to this.

Figur 4 zeigt in ebenfalls schaubildlicher, geschnittener Darstellung einen Teil des bereits anhand der Figuren 1 bis 3 erläuterten Ausführungsbeispiels, wobei die Ansicht so ist, dass auf die Fläche zwischen den Abschnitten 30 und 31 der Sitz- und/oder Liegefläche 2 blickbar ist. Ersichtlich ist damit diese Fläche 33, welche ein Teil des gepolsterten Randes 42 der Sitz-und/oder Liegefläche 2 ist. Das Innenpolster 43 ist in der Figur 4 nicht dargestellt und würde in der Ausnehmung 2' auf einer Platte 2" liegen. Die nur teilweise dargestellte Rückenlehne 4 ist in dieser Ansicht bis zur Fläche 33 verfahren worden und ist mit ihrer Seitenfläche 7 ersichtlich. Die Rückenlehne 4 erstreckt sich bevorzugterweise über die Sitz- und/oder Liegefläche 2 und insbesondere über deren Rand 42, so dass dieser von der Rükkenlehne überdeckt wird. Weiter bevorzugt ist es, wenn die Rückenlehne auch die Umfangsfläche 5 der Sitz-und/oder Liegefläche 2 überdeckt, so dass diese nur dort ersichtlich ist, wo sich die Rückenlehnen nicht befinden. Wie in Figur 4 schematisch ersichtlich, ist nun die Rükkenlehne 4 an Wagen 16 befestigt, von denen in Figur 4 nur einer ersichtlich ist, welche Wagen 16 auf einer Schiene 12 rollend oder gleitend verfahrbar sind, so dass durch das Verfahren der Wagen der Rückenlehne die Form der Schiene aufgeprägt wird bzw. die Rückenlehne entsprechend der Form der Schiene gebogen wird, so dass die Schiene 12 und die zugehörigen Wagen in diesem Beispiel das Steuermittel zur Biegebeeinflussung der jeweiligen Rückenlehne sind. FIG. 4 shows in likewise perspective, cut representation of a part of already using the FIGS. 1 to 3 explained embodiment, wherein the view is such that on the surface between the sections 30 and 31 of the sitting and / or lying surface 2 is viewable. As can be seen, this surface 33, which is a part of the padded edge 42 of the sitting and / or lying surface 2. The inner pad 43 is in the FIG. 4 is not shown and would lie in the recess 2 'on a plate 2. The backrest 4, which has only partially been shown, has been moved as far as the surface 33 in this view and can be seen with its side surface 7. The backrest 4 preferably extends over the seat backrest. and / or lying surface 2 and in particular over its edge 42, so that it is covered by the backrest, it is further preferred if the backrest also covers the peripheral surface 5 of the sitting and / or lying surface 2 so that it is only visible there where the backrests are not located FIG. 4 schematically seen, is now the backrest 4 attached to trolley 16, of which in FIG. 4 only one is visible, which carriage 16 on a Rail 12 are rolling or slidably movable, so that by the process of the carriage of the backrest, the shape of the rail is impressed or the backrest is bent according to the shape of the rail, so that the rail 12 and the associated car in this example, the control means for Bending influence of the respective backrest are.

In den Figuren 5 bis 9 ist ein entsprechender bevorzugter Aufbau des Möbels genauer ersichtlich. Figur 5 zeigt dabei das Untergestell des Möbels, bei dem die Schiene 12 sich als geschlossene Schiene vollständig um das Untergestell herum erstreckt und zugleich ein tragendes Element desselben bildet. Dies ist eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform. Die Schiene 12 könne indes auch ein separates Element sein, welches auf oder an einem anderen tragenden Element des Untergestells befestigt ist. Wird eine nur teilweise Verfahrbarkeit der Rückenlehne oder Rückenlehnen gewünscht, so kann die Schiene auch nicht geschlossen sein und sich nur über die gewünschten Verfahrwegteile erstrecken. Ersichtlich ist in Figur 5 wiederum die Formgebung der Schiene mit den verschiedenen konvexen Abschnitten und dem einen konkaven Abschnitt. Auch diese Formgebung ist natürlich nur als Beispiel zu verstehen. Die erfindungsgemässe Biegbarkeit der Rückenlehne erlaubt eine grundsätzlich freie Formgebung im Rahmen der möglichen Biegbarkeit der Rückenlehne. Diese ist wiederum von der Anzahl und Breite miteinander gelenkig verbundener Elemente oder der Biegbarkeit eines flexiblen Elementes abhängig, was noch erläutert wird. Das Untergestell des Möbels besteht in der gezeigten Ausführungsform neben der Schiene aus den mit der Schiene verbundenen Verstrebungen 13 und den sich nach oben erstreckenden Trägern 14 für die Sitz- und/oder Liegefläche 2 bzw. deren Platte 2". Weiter sind die Füsse 8 am Untergestell befestigt. In Figur 5 ist nun die Konstruktion der einen Rückenlehne 3 ersichtlich, wobei diese aus fünf starren Teilen 20 besteht, welche in Verfahrrichtung gelenkig zueinander bewegbar mit Scharnieren 15 miteinander verbunden sind, was in Figur 6 genauer dargestellt ist, wo eines der Scharniere in von starren Teilen 20 abgehobener Darstellung gezeigt ist. Die Scharniere 15, an deren Stelle auch andere bekannte Mittel zur gelenkigen Verbindung einsetzbar sind, erlauben es den starren Rückenteilen 20 der Lehne 3 sich zueinander abzuwinkeln, so dass sich die Rückenlehne 3 an die gezeigte Form der Schiene 12 und damit an die Umfangskontur auch der Sitz- und/oder Liegefläche anpassen kann. Damit ist gesagt, dass die Form des Verlaufs der Schiene 12 in der Regel mit der Umfangskontur der Sitz- und/oder Liegefläche gleich sein wird. Sofern dies gewünscht ist, kann aber die Form der Schiene auch von der Form der Sitz- und/oder Liegefläche 2 abweichen, so dass sich die Rückenlehne an gewissen Stellen nur ungefähr an die Sitzflächenform anpasst. Durch die bevorzugte und vorgängig gezeigte Überdeckung der Sitzfläche 2 durch die Rückenlehne entsteht trotzdem kein unerwünschtes Loch zwischen der Sitzfläche 2 und der Rückenlehne. In der Figur 5 und den folgenden Figuren sind weiter die Wagen 16 gezeigt, welche an den starren Rückenlehnenteilen 20 befestigt sind und mit ihren anderen, hakenförmigen Enden 22 die Schiene 12 übergreifen. Pro Rückenlehne sind in der Regel mindestens drei Wagen 16 vorgesehen und zwar je endseitig und mittelseitig, so dass die von der Schiene 12 und den Wagen 16 gebildeten Steuermitteln die Rückenlehne möglichst genau der Schiene folgend biegen bzw. gelenkig verstellen können. Es können auch mehr Wagen vorgesehen sein, so z.B. für jedes Teil 20 ein eigener Wagen. Die in Figur 5 gezeigte Rückenlehne 3 weist fünf Teile 20 auf, die nicht dargestellte Rückenlehne 4 weist, wie aus den Figuren 1-3 ersichtlich ist, sieben Teile 20 bzw. Elemente 10 auf. In der Regel stimmen die Anzahl der Elemente 10 des Möbels mit der Anzahl der starren Teile 20 überein. In Figur 5 ist weiter ersichtlich, dass die beiden Teile 20, welche die Endbereiche der Rückenlehne bilden, mit Seitenteilen 17 versehen sind, welche nach entsprechender Polsterung und dem Überziehen mit einem Bezugsmaterial, die Seitenflächen 7 der jeweiligen Rückenlehne ausbilden. Neben den dargestellten starren Rückenlehnenteilen 20 weist natürlich jede Rückenlehne eine Polsterung und ein Überzugsmaterial auf, welche auf an sich bekannte Weise eine bequeme Rückenlehne ausbilden. Die Polsterung kann für die jeweilige Rückkenlehne als ein Stück vorgesehen sein und muss natürlich Elastizität aufweisen und muss zusammendrückbar sein, damit auch die Polsterung der durch die Steuermittel aufgeprägten Bewegung der starren Teile 20 folgen kann. Die Polsterung kann auch aus mehreren Einzelteilen bestehen, und z.B. ein einzelnes Polsterteil für jedes Rückenlehnenteil 20 umfassen. Auch das Überzugsmaterial kann entsprechend der einstückigen oder der mehrstückigen Polsterung gewählt werden. Vorzugsweise sind die einzelnen Polsterteile 44 durch entsprechende Absteppungen oder Nähte 45 (Fig. 1) voneinander teilweise getrennt und auch optisch als getrennte Teile ersichtlich.In the FIGS. 5 to 9 a corresponding preferred construction of the furniture is more clearly apparent. FIG. 5 shows the base of the furniture, in which the rail 12 extends as a closed rail completely around the base around and at the same time forms a bearing element of the same. This is a preferred embodiment. However, the rail 12 may also be a separate element which is mounted on or on another supporting element of the undercarriage. If a partial mobility of the backrest or backrests is desired, then the rail can not be closed and extend only over the desired travel path parts. It is evident in FIG. 5 again the shaping of the rail with the different convex sections and the one concave section. Of course, this design is also to be understood only as an example. The inventive flexibility of the backrest allows a fundamentally free shaping in the context of the possible bendability of the backrest. This in turn depends on the number and width of hinged elements or the flexibility of a flexible element, which will be explained. The base of the furniture consists in the embodiment shown next to the rail of the braces 13 connected to the rail and the upwardly extending supports 14 for the sitting and / or lying surface 2 or its plate 2 " Base frame attached FIG. 5 Now is the construction of a backrest 3 can be seen, which consists of five rigid parts 20 which articulate in the direction of travel mutually movable with hinges 15 are interconnected, which in FIG. 6 is shown in more detail, where one of the hinges is shown in lifted from rigid parts 20 representation. The hinges 15, in place of other known means for articulated connection can be used, allow the rigid back parts 20 of the backrest 3 to an angle, so that the backrest 3 to the shown shape of the rail 12 and thus to the peripheral contour of the Can accommodate sitting and / or lying area. This means that the shape of the course of the rail 12 will usually be the same as the circumferential contour of the sitting and / or lying surface. If desired, however, the shape of the rail can also deviate from the shape of the sitting and / or lying surface 2, so that the backrest only adjusts approximately to the seat surface shape at certain points. Due to the preferred and previously shown coverage of the seat 2 by the backrest still creates no unwanted hole between the seat 2 and the backrest. In the FIG. 5 and the following figures further show the carriages 16 which are fixed to the rigid backrest parts 20 and which engage over the rail 12 with their other, hook-shaped ends 22. Per backrest are usually provided at least three carriages 16 and that each end and middle side, so that the control means formed by the rail 12 and the carriage 16, the backrest as closely as possible following the rail bend or can articulate. It can also be provided more cars, such as for each part 20 a separate car. In the FIG. 5 shown backrest 3 has five parts 20, the backrest 4, not shown, as shown in the Figures 1-3 it can be seen, seven parts 20 and elements 10 on. In general, the number of elements 10 of the furniture with the number of rigid parts 20 match. In FIG. 5 It can also be seen that the two parts 20, which form the end regions of the backrest, are provided with side parts 17 are, which form after appropriate padding and the coating with a reference material, the side surfaces 7 of the respective backrest. In addition to the illustrated rigid backrest parts 20, of course, each backrest on a padding and a cover material, which form a comfortable backrest in a known per se. The upholstery may be provided as one piece for the respective backrest and, of course, must have elasticity and must be compressible so that the upholstery can also follow the movement of the rigid parts 20 impressed by the control means. The padding can also consist of several individual parts, and include, for example, a single padding part for each backrest part 20. Also, the coating material can be selected according to the one-piece or multi-piece padding. Preferably, the individual upholstery parts 44 are formed by corresponding stitches or seams 45 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) Partially separated from each other and visually visible as separate parts.

Die starren Teile 20 bilden somit eine gegen das Anlehnen durch eine Person im wesentlichen nicht nachgebende Rückenlehne bzw. eine nur durch deren Polsterung nachgebende Rückenlehne.The rigid parts 20 thus form against the leaning by a person substantially not yielding backrest or only by the padding yielding backrest.

Anstelle oder in Kombination mit den mehreren gelenkig verbundenen starren Teilen 20 können auch mehrere flexible Rückenlehnenteile eingesetzt werden, welche in Verfahrrichtung biegbar und gegenüber den beim Anlehnen einer Person entstehenden Kräften möglichst starr sind. Entsprechende Rückenlehnenteile können aus Kunststoff und/oder Kompositmaterialien oder Metall gebildet sein.Instead of or in combination with the plurality of hingedly connected rigid parts 20, it is also possible to use a plurality of flexible backrest parts which are bendable in the travel direction and as rigid as possible with respect to the forces arising when leaning against a person. Corresponding backrest parts can be made of plastic and / or composite materials or metal.

Die Figuren 6 bis 9 zeigen, wie ein Wagen 16, der z.B. aus einem Metallteil gebildet ist, am starren Teil 20 befestigt ist und wie bevorzugterweise Gleitteile 18 aus POM-Kunststoff an den die Schiene 12 übergreifenden Halteteilen 22 der Wagen angeordnet sind. An einer Befestigungsstelle 23 des Wagens kann ein Sicherungsteil 19 befestigt sein, welches ebenfalls als Kunststoff-Gleitteil ausgestaltet ist, und welches die Schiene untergreift, so dass die Rückenlehne gegen ein Wegnehmen von der Schiene gesichert ist. Anstelle von Gleitteilen können auch Rollen oder Kugeln vorgesehen sein.The FIGS. 6 to 9 show how a carriage 16, which is formed for example of a metal part, is fixed to the rigid part 20 and how preferably sliding parts 18 made of POM plastic to the rail 12 cross-holding members 22 of the car are arranged. At an attachment point 23 of the car, a securing member 19 may be attached, which is also designed as a plastic sliding part, and which engages under the rail, so that the backrest is secured against removal from the rail. Instead of sliding parts and rollers or balls can be provided.

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform bilden die Wagen 16 des Steuermittels mit der Schiene 12 zugleich die Abstützung für die Rückenlehne 3, 4 gegen die auf sie beim Anlehnen einer Person wirkenden Kräfte. Diese Funktion kann allerdings auch von der Steuerfunktion getrennt sein, wie dies in Figur 4 einerseits mit der Schiene 12' angedeutet ist, welche als zusätzliche separate Schiene die Abstützung der Rückenlehne übernehmen würde, so dass die Schiene 12 nur die Steuerfunktion erfüllt. Eine weitere mögliche Lösung für die Abstützung ist das Vorsehen von Füssen 38 an den Rückenlehnen, welche sich über z.B. kugelförmige Rollen an der Fläche abstützen, auf welcher das Sofa steht. Auch in diesem Fall würde die Schiene 12 nur die Steuerfunktion erfüllen und die Abstützung würde über mehrere Füsse 38 pro Rückenlehne erfolgen. Bevorzugt wird indes die kombinierte Funktion der Schiene 12 und der Wagen 16 als Steuermittel und als Abstützmittel für die Rückenlehne.In the embodiment shown, the carriage 16 of the control means with the rail 12 at the same time support the backrest 3, 4 against the forces acting on it when leaning a person forces. However, this function can also be separated from the control function, as in FIG. 4 on the one hand with the rail 12 'is indicated, which would take over the support of the backrest as an additional separate rail, so that the rail 12 only fulfills the control function. Another possible solution for the support is the provision of feet 38 on the backrests, which are supported by, for example, spherical rollers on the surface on which the sofa stands. Also in this case, the rail 12 would only fulfill the control function and the support would be made via several feet 38 per backrest. However, the combined function of the rail 12 and the carriage 16 is preferred as a control means and as a support means for the backrest.

Natürlich ist die bevorzugte gezeigte Anordnung des Steuermittels bzw. in diesem Beispiel der Schiene 12 unter der Sitzfläche nur als Beispiel zu verstehen. Ein Steuermittel könnte auch in Form einer Schiene an der Umfangsfläche 5 der Sitz- und/oder Liegefläche vorgesehen sein. Auch an der Oberseite des Randes 42 der Sitzfläche 2 könnte das Steuermittel angeordnet sein, z.B. in Form einer nutenförmigen Hohlschiene, in welche Zapfen der Rückenlehne eingreifen, welche von der die Sitzfläche 2 überdeckenden Unterseite der Rückenlehne abstehen. In den beiden letztgenannten Fällen wird allerdings das Steuermittel, z.B. in der Form der erwähnten Schienen, dort sichtbar, wo sich die Rückenlehnen nicht befinden, so dass es entsprechend als Designelement des Möbels gestaltet werden muss.Of course, the preferred arrangement of the control means shown, or in this example the rail 12 under the seat, is to be understood as an example only. A control means could also be provided in the form of a rail on the peripheral surface 5 of the sitting and / or lying surface. Also at the top of the edge 42 of the seat 2, the control means could be arranged, for example in the form of a groove-shaped hollow rail, in which pins engage the backrest, which protrude from the underside of the backrest covering the seat surface 2. In the latter two cases, however, the control means, for example in the form of the mentioned rails, visible where the backrests are not, so that it must be designed accordingly as a design element of the furniture.

Die Erfindung ist anhand von Rückenlehnen erläutert worden; anstelle oder zusätzlich zu Rückenlehnen kann indes auch eine Armlehne oder können Armlehnen gemäss der Erfindung ausgestaltet und vorgesehen sein.The invention has been explained with reference to backrests; However, instead of or in addition to backrests can also be an armrest or armrests according to the invention designed and provided.
