Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Sitzmöbel mit einem Gestell, einem Sitz und einer Rückenlehne, mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a chair with a frame, a seat and a backrest, with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Sitzmöbel mit Beinauflagen sind hinreichend bekannt. Die DE-U-297 17 456 , US-A-3,794,381 , DE-U-297 00 469 offenbaren ein Sitzmöbel, bei welchem eine Beinauflage aus einer Ruheposition unter dem Sitz in eine Gebrauchslage vor den Sitz verschoben werden kann. Bei der US-A-5,507,562 wird die Beinauflage mittels einer Schwenkbewegung in die Arbeitslage gebracht. Die Beinauflage ist als separates Bauteil ausgebildet und besitzt einen vom Sitz separaten Bezug, so dass bei in Gebrauchslage sich befindender Beinauflage zwischen dem Sitz und der Beinauflage ein Spalt existiert oder zumindest der Sitz und die Beinauflage keinen durchgehenden Bezug aufweisen.Seating with leg rests are well known. The DE-U-297 17 456 . US-A-3,794,381 . DE-U-297 00 469 disclose a chair in which a legrest can be moved from a rest position under the seat into a position of use in front of the seat. In the US-A-5,507,562 The leg rest is brought into the working position by means of a pivoting movement. The leg rest is formed as a separate component and has a seat separate from the seat so that there is a gap between the seat and the leg rest when the leg rest is in the use position, or at least the seat and leg rest do not have a continuous cover.

Es sind auch Sitzmöbel mit Beinauflagen bekannt, welche am vorderen Ende des Sitzes schwenkbar gelagert sind und bei Nichtgebrauch unter den Sitz verschwenkt werden ( DE-A-37 18 645 ). Diese Beinauflagen besitzen den Nachteil, dass unter dem Sitz genügend Freiraum vorhanden sein muss, so dass die Beinauflage die Schwenkbewegung durchführen kann, ohne am Boden anzustoßen. Bei geringem Freiraum kann daher die Beinauflage nur eine geringe Länge besitzen.There are also chairs with leg rests known which are pivotally mounted at the front end of the seat and are pivoted when not in use under the seat ( DE-A-37 18 645 ). These leg rests have the disadvantage that there must be sufficient free space under the seat so that the leg rest can perform the pivoting movement without striking the floor. With little space, therefore, the leg rest can only have a small length.

Aus der DE-C-197 00 617 ist ein Sessel bekannt, bei welchem die Beinauflage zweigeteilt ist und durch eine Verschwenkbewegung die beiden Beinauflagenteile über ein Parallelogramm aus ihrer Ruhelage unterhalb des Sitzes, in welcher sie übereinander angeordnet sind, vor den Sitz verlagert werden, und dabei hintereinander zu liegen kommen. Jedoch befinden sich zwischen den Beinauflagen sowie zwischen dem Sitz und der benachbarten Beinauflage relativ große Spalte.From the DE-C-197 00 617 a chair is known in which the leg rest is divided into two parts and by a pivoting movement, the two leg rest parts via a parallelogram from its rest position below the seat, in which they are arranged one above the other, in front of the seat be shifted, and thereby lie behind each other. However, there are relatively large gaps between the leg rests as well as between the seat and the adjacent leg rest.

Die EP-A-1 234 528 offenbart einen Auszug für ein Sitzmöbel, welcher teleskopartig bewegbare Auszugsstangen aufweist. Das äußere Ende weist einen Beinauflagepolsterrahmen auf. Eine Lücke zwischen Beinauflage und Sitz ist auch hier nicht zu vermeiden.The EP-A-1 234 528 discloses an extract for a chair, which has telescopically movable extension rods. The outer end has a leg support cushion frame. A gap between the leg rest and the seat is unavoidable.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Sitzmöbel bereitzustellen, bei welchem die Beinauflage in ihrer Ruheposition eine möglichst unauffällige Lage unterhalb des Sitzes einnimmt und für die Überführung in die Gebrauchslage wenig Platz unterhalb des Sitzes benötigt, den Sitz relativ weit verlängert und zwischen dem Sitz und der Beinauflage kein Spalt existiert.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a chair, in which the leg rest in its resting position occupies an inconspicuous position below the seat and needed for the transfer to the operating position little space below the seat, the seat relatively far extended and between the seat and the leg rest no gap exists.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Sitzmöbel gelöst, das die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist.This object is achieved with a chair that has the features of claim 1.

Das erfindungsgemäße Sitzmöbel hat den wesentlichen Vorteil, dass die als Schlitten ausgeführte Beinauflage relativ wenig Platz unterhalb des Sitzes benötigt. Die Verlagerung aus der Ruhelage in die Gebrauchslage erfolgt durch Verschiebung, wobei sich während des Verschiebevorganges die an der Vorderseite des Schlittens befestigte Klappe um insbesondere 180° umlegt und dadurch die Beinauflage verlängert. Die Klappe dient dazu, den Bezug bei der Überführung der Beinauflage von der Gebrauchslage in die Ruhelage unter den Schlitten zu ziehen. Auf diese Weise kann der Bezug sich einstückig vom Sitz über die Beinauflage und die Klappe erstrecken, so dass die Beinauflage in ihrer Gebrauchslage spaltfrei an den Sitz angrenzt. Das Verschwenken der Klappe aus der Ruhelage in die Gebrauchslage benötigt relativ wenig Platz unterhalb des Sitzes und der erforderliche Freiraum kann zudem durch die Größe der Klappe bestimmt werden.The seating furniture according to the invention has the significant advantage that the executed as a slide leg rest requires relatively little space below the seat. The shift from the rest position to the position of use is carried out by displacement, wherein the flap attached to the front of the carriage flips around in particular 180 ° during the sliding operation, thereby extending the legrest. The flap serves to pull the cover when transferring the leg rest from the use position to the rest position under the carriage. In this way, the cover can extend integrally from the seat over the leg rest and the flap, so that the leg rest adjoins the seat without a gap in its position of use. The pivoting of the flap from the rest position into the position of use requires relatively little space below the Seat and the required free space can also be determined by the size of the flap.

Dabei ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass im ersten Schlitten ein zweiter Schlitten teleskopartig geführt ist und dass die Klappe am freien Ende des zweiten Schlittens schwenkbar gelagert ist. Dadurch kann die Länge der Beinauflage bei relativ kurzen Schlitten noch weiter vergrößert werden. Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit, einen weiteren, dritten Schlitten vorzusehen, der sich zusammen mit den beiden anderen Schlitten teleskopartig ausfahren lässt. Auf jeden Fall befindet sich am freien Ende des vordersten Schlittens die um 180° umschwenkbare Klappe, über welche das freie Ende des Bezuges von einer Position unterhalb des Sitzes in eine den Sitz verlängernde Position verlagert wird.It is inventively provided that in the first carriage, a second carriage is guided in a telescopic manner and that the flap is pivotally mounted at the free end of the second carriage. As a result, the length of the leg rest can be further increased with relatively short slides. It is also possible to provide another, third slide, which can be extended telescopically together with the other two carriages. In any case, located at the free end of the foremost carriage, the 180 ° swivelable flap over which the free end of the cover is displaced from a position below the seat in a seat extending position.

Bei einer bevorzugten Variante ist der Antrieb am Rahmen abgestützt und greift am ersten Schlitten an. Dabei kann der Antrieb ein Spindelantrieb, ein Zahnradantrieb, welcher mit einer am Schlitten vorgesehenen Zahnstange kämmt, oder ein hydraulischer oder pneumatischer Antrieb sein. Spindelantriebe werden bevorzugt, da mit relativ kleinen Antriebsmotoren hohe Kräfte aufgebracht werden können.In a preferred variant, the drive is supported on the frame and engages the first carriage. In this case, the drive may be a spindle drive, a gear drive which meshes with a rack provided on the slide, or a hydraulic or pneumatic drive. Spindle drives are preferred because with relatively small drive motors high forces can be applied.

Um über den ersten Schlitten den zweiten Schlitten bewegen zu können, sind der Rahmen und der zweite Schlitten über einen Seilzug miteinander verbunden. Dabei ist der Seilzug am ersten Schlitten über Umlenkrollen geführt und am Rahmen und am zweiten Schlitten befestigt. Der Seilzug bildet eine Schlaufe, so dass über den ersten Schlitten der zweite Schlitten sowohl ausgefahren als auch wieder eingefahren werden kann.In order to be able to move the second carriage over the first carriage, the frame and the second carriage are connected to one another via a cable pull. The cable is guided on the first slide over pulleys and attached to the frame and the second carriage. The cable forms a loop so that the second slide can be extended and retracted via the first slide.

Bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Klappe im Wesentlichen T-förmig ausgebildet und ist das freie Ende des T-Fußes schwenkbar am freien Ende des Schlittens gelagert. Die Klappe kann also um das freie Ende des T-Fußes herum aus ihrer Ruhelage, in welcher der T-Balken sich unterhalb der Schwenkachse befindet, in die Gebrauchslage verschwenkt werden, in welcher der T-Balken sich oberhalb des Schwenklagers befindet. Auf diese Weise kann durch Schwenken der Klappe aus ihrer Ruhelage in die Gebrauchslage ein Teil des Bezuges, der aus der Sitzebene um das Schwenklager herum und unter den Sitz geführt ist, freigegeben werden, so dass die Beinauflage unterhalb diesen freigegebenen Bezug verlängert werden kann. Dabei ist erfindungsgemäß der Bezug am T-Balken der Klappe befestigt. Wird also die Beinauflage durch teleskopartiges Ausschieben des einen beziehungsweise der beiden Schlitten verlängert, wird gleichzeitig die Klappe allmählich aus ihrer Ruhelage in die Gebrauchslage ausgeklappt, wodurch der durch das Verlängern der Beinauflage benötigte Bezug freigegeben wird.In a preferred embodiment, the flap is substantially T-shaped and the free end of the T-leg is pivotally mounted at the free end of the carriage. The flap can thus be pivoted about the free end of the T-foot from its rest position, in which the T-bar is below the pivot axis, in the position of use, in which the T-bar is located above the pivot bearing. In this way, by pivoting the flap from its rest position into the position of use, a portion of the cover which is guided out of the seat plane around the pivot bearing and under the seat can be released, so that the leg rest can be extended below this released reference. In this case, according to the invention, the cover is attached to the T-bar of the flap. Thus, if the leg rest is extended by telescoping the one or the two carriages, the flap is at the same time gradually unfolded from its rest position into the position of use, as a result of which the cover required by the lengthening of the leg rest is released.

Um beim Zusammenschieben der Beinauflage den Bezug straff zu halten, wird die Klappe mittels Federkraft in ihre Ruhelage gedrängt. Dabei wird die Klappe bei eingeschobener Beinauflage in einer eingeklappten Ruhelage insbesondere am zweiten Schlitten gehalten. Die Klappe wird also über den Bezug aus der Ruhelage in die Gebrauchslage und mittels der Federkraft zurück in die Ruhelage verschwenkt.In order to keep the cover taut when pushing together the leg rest, the flap is urged by spring force into its rest position. The flap is held with inserted leg rest in a retracted position of rest, in particular on the second carriage. The flap is thus pivoted on the reference from the rest position in the position of use and by means of the spring force back into the rest position.

Um den Bezug in allen Positionen der Beinauflage, das heißt in der Nichtgebrauchslage, in welcher die Beinauflage eingeschoben ist, in der Gebrauchslage, in welcher die Beinauflage vollständig ausgeschoben und die Klappe um 180° verschwenkt ist, sowie in allen Zwischenpositionen straff zu halten, nimmt beim Ausklappen der Klappe die rückhaltende Federkraft nichtlinear, insbesondere logarithmisch, ab.In order to keep the cover in all positions of the leg rest, that is in the non-use position in which the leg rest is inserted, in the position of use, in which the leg rest is completely pushed out and the flap is pivoted through 180 °, as well as taut in all intermediate positions when unfolding the flap, the restraining spring force non-linear, in particular logarithmic, from.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung des insgesamt mit 10 bezeichneten Sitzmöbels, insbesondere des Sessels, welcher einen Fuß 12 aufweist, an dem, wie in Figur 5 dargestellt, eine Rückenlehne 14 befestigt ist. Von dieser Rückenlehne 14 ragt ein Sitz 16 ab, der seitlich von Armlehnen 18 begrenzt ist. Unter dem Sitz 16 befindet sich eine Beinauflage 20, die später ausführlich beschrieben wird. Sowohl die Rückenlehne 14 als auch der Sitz 16 mit Beinauflage 20 sind von einem Bezug 22 übergriffen, der insbesondere einen schichtweisen Aufbau aufweist und zum Beispiel eine Lederhülle und eine dahinter sich befindende Schaumstoffauflage besitzt. Die Figur 2 zeigt das Sitzmöbel 10 mit in Gebrauchslage sich befindender Beinauflage 20, die den Sitz 16 verlängert. Außerdem ist die Rückenlehne 14 nach hinten verschwenkt, so dass eine bequeme Ruheposition eingenommen werden kann. Es ist auch erkennbar, dass die Armlehnen 18 eine gestrecktere Lage einnehmen, das heißt dass die Abwinklung der beiden Armlehnenteile weniger stark ist.The FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the seating furniture 10, in particular of the armchair, which has a foot 12 at the, as in FIG. 5 shown, a backrest 14 is attached. From this backrest 14 protrudes from a seat 16 which is bounded laterally by armrests 18. Under the seat 16 is a leg rest 20, which will be described later in detail. Both the backrest 14 and the seat 16 with legrest 20 are overlapped by a cover 22, which in particular has a layered structure and has, for example, a leather cover and a foam pad located behind it. The FIG. 2 shows the seating 10 with in-use position located leg rest 20, which extends the seat 16. In addition, the backrest 14 is pivoted to the rear, so that a comfortable rest position can be taken. It can also be seen that the armrests 18 occupy a more extended position, that is, that the bending of the two armrest parts is less strong.

Die Figur 3 zeigt in perspektivischer Darstellung ein Gestell 24, das im Wesentlichen ein Rückenlehnengestell 26 mit verstellbarem Kopfteil 28 und ein Sitzgestell 30 aufweist. Am Sitzgestell 30 ist ein Rahmen 32 der Beinauflage 20 befestigt. Dabei nimmt die Beinauflage 20 in der Figur 3 ihre Ruhelage ein, indem die einzelnen Bauteile, die nachfolgend näher erläutert werden, ineinander geschoben beziehungsweise eingeklappt sind.The FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a frame 24, which has a backrest frame 26 with adjustable head portion 28 and a seat frame 30 substantially. On the seat frame 30, a frame 32 of the leg rest 20 is attached. The leg rest 20 takes in the FIG. 3 their rest position by the individual components, which are explained in more detail below, are pushed into each other or folded.

Die Figur 4 zeigt in stark vereinfachter Darstellung eine Funktionsskizze, anhand welcher die Arbeitsweise der Beinauflage 20 im Folgenden erläutert wird. Am Rahmen 32 ist über Führungsschienen 34 (Figur 8) ein erster Schlitten 36 verschieblich geführt. Der erste Schlitten 36 besitzt ein nach unten offenes U-Profil, so dass er einen zweiten Schlitten 38 aufnehmen kann, der ebenfalls über Führungsschienen 40 (Figur 8) am ersten Schlitten 36 gelagert ist. Der zweite Schlitten 38 besitzt ein nach oben offenes U-Profil, so dass zwischen den beiden Schlitten 36 und 38 ein Hohlraum entsteht, in welchem Funktionsteile angeordnet sind. Außerdem kann die Unterseite des ersten Schlittens 36, wie aus den Figuren 7 und 8 erkennbar, mit einer Abdeckung 42 abgedeckt sein, so dass weitere Funktionsteile, die nachfolgend beschrieben werden, vor Zugriff geschützt sind.The FIG. 4 shows in a highly simplified representation of a functional sketch, on the basis of which the operation of the leg rest 20 will be explained below. On frame 32 is about guide rails 34 ( FIG. 8 ) a first carriage 36 slidably guided. The first carriage 36 has a downwardly open U-profile, so that it can accommodate a second carriage 38, which also has guide rails 40 (FIG. FIG. 8 ) is mounted on the first carriage 36. The second carriage 38 has an upwardly open U-profile, so that between the two carriages 36 and 38, a cavity is formed in which functional parts are arranged. In addition, the bottom of the first carriage 36, as shown in the FIGS. 7 and 8th be seen covered with a cover 42 so that other functional parts, which are described below, are protected from access.

In Figur 4 ist erkennbar, dass der erste Schlitten 36 einen um zwei Umlenkrollen 44 und 46 umlaufenden Seilzug 48 aufweist, an welchem sowohl der Rahmen 32 über ein erstes Befestigungsmittel 50 als auch der zweite Schlitten 38 über ein zweites Befestigungsmittel 52 befestigt sind. Die gegenseitige Halterung und Führung der Schlitten 36 und 38 erfolgt, wie bereits erwähnt, mittels der Führungsschienen 34 und 40.In FIG. 4 it can be seen that the first carriage 36 has a two pulleys 44 and 46 circulating cable 48, to which both the frame 32 via a first fastening means 50 and the second carriage 38 are fastened via a second fastening means 52. The mutual support and guidance of the carriage 36 and 38 takes place, as already mentioned, by means of the guide rails 34 and 40th

Wird der erste Schlitten 36 mittels eines Antriebs 54, zum Beispiel eines Spindelantriebs 56, der am Rahmen 32 bei 58 befestigt ist, in Richtung des freien Endes 60 des Rahmens 32 beziehungsweise des Sitzes 16 verlagert, was in Figur 5 dargestellt ist, dann läuft der Seilzug 48 in Richtung der Pfeile 62 im ersten Schlitten 36 um. Dadurch wird der zweite Schlitten 38, der über das zweite Befestigungsmittel 52 am Seilzug 48 befestigt ist, aus dem ersten Schlitten 36 ausgeschoben. Auf diese Weise tritt die Beinauflage 20 allmählich unter dem Rahmen 32 des Sitzes 16 am freien Ende 60 hervor.If the first carriage 36 by means of a drive 54, for example a spindle drive 56 which is fixed to the frame 32 at 58, displaced in the direction of the free end 60 of the frame 32 and the seat 16, which FIG. 5 is shown, then the cable 48 runs in the direction of the arrows 62 in the first carriage 36. As a result, the second carriage 38, which is fastened to the cable 48 via the second fastening means 52, is pushed out of the first carriage 36. In this way, the leg rest 20 gradually protrudes under the frame 32 of the seat 16 at the free end 60.

Am freien Ende 64 des zweiten Schlittens 38 befindet sich ein Schwenklager 66, an welchem eine T-förmige (bzw. 1 - förmige) Klappe 68 schwenkbar angelenkt ist. Diese Klappe 68 besitzt einen T-Balken 70 sowie einen T-Fuß 72, dessen freies Ende 74 mit dem Schwenklager 66 gekoppelt ist. Der Bezug 22 ist über eine gerundete Nase 76 geführt und auf der dem T-Fuß 72 gegenüberliegenden Seite des T-Balkens 70 befestigt.At the free end 64 of the second carriage 38 is a pivot bearing 66 to which a T-shaped (or 1 - shaped) flap 68 is pivotally articulated. This flap 68 has a T-bar 70 and a T-foot 72, the free end 74 is coupled to the pivot bearing 66. The cover 22 is guided over a rounded nose 76 and fastened on the side of the T-bar 70 opposite the T-foot 72.

Wird durch Betätigung des Antriebs 54 der zweite Schlitten 38, wie in Figur 5 dargestellt, unter dem Sitz 16 herausgeschoben, dann wird aufgrund des Zuges des Bezuges 22 die Klappe 68 in Richtung des Pfeils 78 verschwenkt und aufgestellt. Der Verschwenkwinkel beträgt in der Gebrauchslage der Klappe 68 etwa 180°.By operation of the drive 54, the second carriage 38, as in FIG. 5 shown pushed out from under the seat 16, then the flap 68 is pivoted in the direction of the arrow 78 and placed due to the train of the cover 22. The pivot angle is in the position of use of the flap 68 is about 180 °.

Am T-Fuß 72 befindet sich eine Kulissenscheibe 80, an welcher ein Seilzug 82 befestigt und um diese herum geschlungen ist. Die Kurve der Kulissenscheibe 80 ändert bei sich änderndem Schwenkwinkel ihren Abstand zum Schwenklager 66. Das andere Ende des Seilzugs 82 ist über eine Zugfeder 84 am zweiten Schlitten 38 befestigt. Die Zugfeder 84 übt über den Seilzug 82 eine Rückhaltekraft entgegen der Richtung des Pfeils 78 auf die Klappe 68 aus, die versucht, die Klappe 68 in der in der Figur 4 dargestellten Position zu halten bzw. die Klappe 68 in diese Position zurück zu verschwenken.At the T-foot 72 is a link plate 80 to which a cable 82 is attached and wrapped around it. The curve of the link plate 80 changes with changing pivot angle their distance from the pivot bearing 66. The other end of the cable 82 is attached via a tension spring 84 on the second carriage 38. The tension spring 84 exerts via the cable 82 a retaining force against the direction of the arrow 78 on the flap 68, which tries to open the flap 68 in the in the FIG. 4 to keep shown position or to pivot the flap 68 back into this position.

Beim Verschwenken der Klappe 68 ändert sich aufgrund der Kulissenscheibe 80 der Hebelarm bezüglich des Schwenklagers 60 für die Rückstellkraft, so dass diese mit zunehmendem Verschwenkwinkel kleiner wird. Die Änderung erfolgt nichtlinear, insbesondere logarithmisch. Die auf die Klappe 68 einwirkende Zugkraft bewirkt, dass der Bezug 22 stets gespannt ist.When pivoting the flap 68 changes due to the link plate 80 of the lever arm with respect to the pivot bearing 60 for the restoring force, so that it is smaller with increasing pivot angle. The change is non-linear, in particular logarithmic. The force acting on the flap 68 tensile force causes the cover 22 is always tense.

Die Figur 6 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung der Beinauflage 20 in eingeschobener Stellung, die im Wesentlichen der Figur 4 entspricht. Erkennbar ist, dass die Klappe 68 die Unterseite der Abdeckung 42 untergreift, so dass der an der Klappe 68 befestigte Bezug 22 quasi um die Beinauflage 20 herumgeführt ist. In den Figuren 4 und 5 ist noch erkennbar, dass der Seilzug 82 um eine Umlenkrolle 86 geführt ist, die einen zur Längsachse der Beinauflage 20 parallelen Auszug der Zugfeder 84 gewährleistet.The FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of the leg rest 20 in the inserted position, the substantially of the FIG. 4 equivalent. It can be seen that the flap 68 engages under the underside of the cover 42, so that the cover 22 attached to the flap 68 is guided around the leg rest 20 virtually. In the FIGS. 4 and 5 can still be seen that the cable 82 is guided around a guide roller 86, which ensures a parallel to the longitudinal axis of the leg rest 20 extract the tension spring 84.

In den Figuren 8 und 9 sind unter anderem die Lenkrollen 44 und 46 erkennbar, um welche der Seilzug 48 geführt ist. Außerdem sind in der Figur 9 die Befestigungsmittel 50 und 52 erkennbar, die den Rahmen 32 beziehungsweise den zweiten Schlitten 40 am Seilzug 48 befestigen. Das vordere Ende 88 des Antriebs 54 ist über einen Bolzen und einer Lasche 90 am ersten Schlitten 36 befestigt.In the FIGS. 8 and 9 Among other things, the steering rollers 44 and 46 can be seen, around which the cable 48 is guided. Also, in the FIG. 9 the fastening means 50 and 52 can be seen securing the frame 32 and the second carriage 40 to the cable 48. The front end 88 of the drive 54 is attached via a bolt and a tab 90 on the first carriage 36.

Die Beinauflage 20 des erfindungsgemäßen Sitzmöbels 10 benötigt relativ wenig Platz unterhalb des Sitzes 16 und kann dennoch relativ weit ausgefahren werden, wobei zwischen der Beinauflage 20 und dem Sitz 16 kein Spalt entsteht, da sich der Bezug 22 über den Sitz 16 hinweg bis ans Ende der ausgefahrenen Beinauflage 20 erstreckt.The leg rest 20 of the seat 10 of the invention requires relatively little space below the seat 16 and can still be extended relatively far, with no gap between the leg rest 20 and the seat 16, since the cover 22 over the seat 16 away to the end of the extended leg rest 20 extends.
