Description

Technical environment

The invention relates to a upholstered furniture with two mutually at an angle seating elements with at least two seat cushions, which are interconnected via a corner element, of which the first seat member below the seat cushion support a pull-extendable lying frame with a cushion pad, which arranged by means of thrust transformation fittings in the level of the seat cushion support of the first seat member can be raised, and wherein for bridging the resulting by the corner element gap between the end face of the cushion pad and the seat cushion pad of the second seat element, a cushioning compensation element can be inserted or supplemented, so that in the extended and raised state of the reclining frame with padded support results in a closed lying surface with the seat cushion support of the second seat element.

State of the art

So-called corner fittings are known from the prior art, wherein at least under a seat element, an additional lying surface is stowed. The lying surface or the additional cushion pad is stored in a arranged under the seat cushion pad thrust, and thus can be pulled out from under the seat. In particular, to get the cushion pad in the level of the seat, the thrust has so-called transformation fittings that can spend the cushion pad in an upper and a lower position. As a result of the additional connecting corner element between the mutually perpendicular seating elements, resulting in particular in the gusset area a gap between the end face of the cushion support and the seat element parallel thereto.

Thus, different solutions are known from the prior art to close this gusset or gap area. For example, from the DE-U-203 14 567 a reclaimable as thrust lying frame with a cushion pad, the cushion pad on the reclining frame is arranged such that the cushion pad, after which it is pulled out, can be moved transversely to the extension direction. The frontal side of the cushion pad is then moved to the parallel seat member to produce in this way a subsequent flush between the cushion pad and the seat member.

Another way of bridging the gap area is in the DE-U-202 13 768 described, wherein on the reclining frame, in particular in the region of the front side edge of the cushion support, an extract is arranged, which is extendable to the second seat element lying side of the reclining frame. On this extract the equalizing pad element is placed. Although these described prior art embodiments effect closure of the gap area, both the one and the other embodiments have disadvantages. Thus, in the first-mentioned embodiment of the prior art, it is regarded as disadvantageous that a non-homogeneous surface is achieved due to the displacement of the cushion support arranged on the reclining frame, since the cushion support of the seat element and the cushion support of the reclining frame are not flush with each other.

A disadvantage of the second embodiment of the prior art, it is considered that in particular an additional storage space for the cushioning compensation element must be provided in the corner trim, on the other hand, the preparation of the flush lying surface is expensive.

task

It follows that the object of the invention is based on a upholstered furniture with two mutually standing at an angle seating elements with at least two seat cushions on, on the one hand allows a homogeneous mattress base with extended thrust, on the other hand, an ergonomic integration of a cushioning compensation element should be present.

solution

This object is achieved in that arranged underneath the pad support in the region of the reclining frame insertable for closing the gap pad compensation element is, wherein the cushioning compensation element is fixed to the reclining frame, that it is displaceable or pivotable after lifting the cushion support in the gap area.

Due to the pivotable design is achieved that the cushioning compensation element is permanently associated with the reclining frame, so that when the reclining frame is extended by means of the thrust, and the so-called cushioning compensation element is equal to access. For this purpose, it is only necessary to raise the cushion support to spend the integrated there pad compensation element in the position of use. In a further development of the invention, the upholstery element is pivotally arranged for this purpose by means of hinges on the front crossmember of the reclining frame. So if the cushion pad is raised, so can the padding compensation element spend with a handle in the so-called position of use.

According to the alternative solution, the captive cushioning element is slidably held in the reclining frame by means of internal guides arranged on the longitudinal bars of the reclining frame. For this purpose, the cushioning compensation element is fixed on the end side on a base element, which is displaceable on the guides designed as guide rails. For this purpose, the base element can be designed in particular plate-like and be equipped with guide rollers or with sliding blocks, which are guided in the guide rails. It is also conceivable to provide a frame construction which forms the base element. In this case, in the extended or in the ejected state, the plate-like base element lies with its underside on the end crossmember of the reclining frame. So that the necessary storage height for the cushioning compensation element is given in the reclining frame, the guide rails are arranged on the inside of the reclining frame under a slope.

In particular, the cushion pad is provided that on the opposite end crossmember of the reclining frame, the cushion pad is also pivotally mounted by means of hinges. It is also conceivable, for example, that the pad rest rests loose. So that the padding but experiences a fixed position on the reclining frame, it is in this case according to the invention by means of hinges attached to the reclining frame. It has an advantageous effect that the padding By means of locking hinges in a raised angular position can be fixed. The detent hinges allow the cushion pad to lift into an angular position in which the pad rest remains. Thus, then, without it comes to a repelling of the cushion pad, the cushioning compensation element can be easily and easily pivoted into the position of use. If the padding compensation element in its position of use, the cushion pad is slightly raised, so that the locking hinges engage again and the cushion pad can be lowered.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, in particular in the case of the pivotable design of the cushioning compensation element, the transformation fitting arranged towards the second seat element may be offset by an amount from the crosspiece of the hinged cushioning compensation element in the reclining frame. This design allows a region to be created in the reclining frame area that provides the tuned pivotal position of the cushioning compensation element.

In a further development of the cushion support receiving thrust, this is designed as Ausziehwagen having support rollers in the front and in the rear area guide rollers, wherein the guide rollers are guided in arranged on the body of the first seat element scenes.

According to a further development variant, according to the invention, the cushioning compensation element can also be arranged pivotably by means of hinges in the region of the front edge below the cushion support. Here, the hinged pad compensation element is pivoted below the pad with high, in which case, if the space is sufficiently large below the pad, in a simple way, the stored under the pad pad cushion compensation element can be pivoted out. Then, the cushion pad is pivoted back to the reclining frame with the padding compensation element pivoted out, so that the gap closure takes place in the same way as described above.

Another variant, which also solves the stated problem is that the cushioning compensation element is arranged displaceably by means of guides in the region of the front edge below the cushion support. In this case, the cushioning compensation element is held on guides and by means of a retaining spring under the cushion pad. Will the Upholstered upturned cushion, the cushioning element can be moved below the swung-up cushion pad, with the cushioning element automatically pushes up and fits on the front side of the cushion pad. If the padded pad is then pivoted back onto the lying frame, then the padding compensation element also fills the gap with the second seat element.

embodiments

The FIGS. 1 . 2 . 3 and 4 in particular, a upholstered furniture 1 with two mutually perpendicular at a right angle seating elements 2 and 3 with at least two cushions 4 and 5, which are connected to each other via a corner element 6. Here, in the first seat member 2, and here below the seat cushion support 4, a pull-out as a slide 7 lying frame 8 with a cushion support 9 is arranged. The reclining frame 8 acts together with transformation fittings 10 and 11, which are attached on the one hand to the thrust 7 and on the other hand to the reclining frame 8.

The per se known transformation fitting 10 or 11, in particular in the FIG. 5 shown in more detail, consists essentially of a cross member 12, which is articulated on the one hand on the thrust 7 and reclining frame 8, and a second cross member 13, which is articulated once on the reclining frame 8 and at a pivot point 14, in turn with a pendulum support 15 with the thrust 7 is connected. Thus, for example, if the cushion support 9 is raised with the reclining frame 8, then the pendulum support 15 kinks, so that in the tilted position pivoting takes place in the lower level. Accordingly, the reclining frame 8 is spent as a result of the tilting position in the upper position shown, so that the level of the seat cushion support 4 of the first seat member 2 with the cushion support 9 is flat.

To bridge the resulting by the corner element 6 gap 16, seen in the FIG. 1 , is between the end face 17 of the cushion support 9 and the seat cushion support 5 of the second seat member 3 can be inserted or supplemented so that in the extended and raised state of the reclining frame 8 with cushion support 9 with the seat cushion support 5 of the second seat member 3 a closed sleeping area results, as in the FIG. 4 is shown. It is below the cushion pad 9 in the region of the reclining frame 8, the insertable to close the gap 16 pad compensation element 18 is arranged captive. This is especially true in the FIG. 2 to recognize where the cushioning compensation element 18 is pivoted into the frame region of the reclining frame 8.

In this case, the cushioning compensation element 18 is attached to the reclining frame 8 such that, after lifting the cushion support 9, as shown in the FIG. 2 Also, it can be seen clearly, in the gap area 16 can be pivoted, so that it, as in the FIG. 3 position shown assumes. It is, how from the FIG. 2 can be seen, the cushioning compensation element 18 by means of hinges 19.1 and 19.2 pivotally mounted on the front crossmember 20 of the reclining frame 8. The padded support 9 is also pivotally attached to the opposite end crossmember 21 of the reclining frame 8 by means of hinges 22.1 and 22.2, as shown in the FIG. 5 is clearly visible. In addition to the pivotable mounting of the cushion support 9 so-called detent hinges 23 are provided, which are more clearly in the FIG. 2 or in the FIG. 3 can be seen. These detent hinges 23 can hold or lock the cushion support 9 in a raised angular position. It goes without saying that, when the thrust 7 is extended and the reclining frame 8 was spent with the cushion support 9 in the raised position, then by simply lifting the cushion support 9, which locks itself in the raised situation, the cushioning compensation element 18th can be easily swung out to spend it in the so-called position of use. The cushioning compensation element 18 is in the use position, the locking of the locking hinges 23 can be solved by gently lifting the cushion support 9 again, and the cushion support 8 are lowered again, so that the situation as shown in the FIG. 4 is shown results.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, in particular to be seen in the Figures 2 and 3 , The transformation fitting 11 arranged towards the second seat element 3 is offset by an amount A from the crosspiece 13 of the articulated restoring element 18 in the reclining frame 8. This results in a region within the reclining frame 8, in a simple way and not disturbing the pad compensation element 18 can be pivoted without it obstructs the overlying cushion support 8.

According to an alternative solution, shown in the FIGS. 2a and 3a , the captive cushioning compensation element 18 is held by means of internal guides, which are arranged on the longitudinal bars 25.1 and 25.2 of the reclining frame 8, slidably in the reclining frame 8. For this purpose, the cushioning compensation element 18 is fixed on the end side to a base element 27 which is displaceable on the guides 26.1 and 26.2 designed as guide rails. The base member 27 may for this purpose be plate-like and be equipped with guide rollers 28 which are guided in the guide rails. In the extended or in the pushed-out state, the plate-like base member 27 lies with its underside on the front crossmember 20 of the reclining frame 8. Thus, in the reclining frame 8, the necessary storage height for the cushioning compensation element 18 is given, the guide rails are arranged on the longitudinal bars 25.1 and 25.2 of the reclining frame 8 each under a slope.

Like from the FIG. 5 can still be seen, the cushion pad 9 receiving thrust 7 is designed as Ausziehwagen, in the front region support rollers 24 and in the rear, not shown in detail, has guide rollers, wherein the guide rollers are guided in the body of the first seat element 2 scenes. This results in a tilt-free extension and retraction of the thrust 7 on the seat element. 2

After a further developing variant of the invention, shown in the Figures 6a and 6b , The cushioning compensation element 18 may also be arranged pivotably by means of hinges 19 in the region of the front edge below the cushion support 9. Here, the hinged pad compensation element 18 is pivoted below the cushion support 9 with high, in which case when the space is sufficiently large given by the pivoted position of the cushion support 9, in a simple manner held under the cushion support 9 cushion compensation element 18 can be pivoted out. Then, the cushion pad 9 is pivoted back to the reclining frame 8 with the padding compensation element 18 pivoted out, so that the gap closure takes place in the same way as described above.

Another variant, which also solves the task, shows the FIGS. 7a and 7b , in which case the cushioning compensation element 18 is arranged displaceably below the cushion support 9 by means of guides 29 in the region of the front edge. In this case, the cushioning compensation element 18 held on the guides 29 and by means of a retaining spring 30 under the cushion support 9 when the cushion support 9 is pivoted up. At high tilted position of the cushion support 9, the cushioning compensation element 18 can be moved so that the cushioning compensation element 18 presses itself up and inserts itself on the end face of the cushion support 9. If the padded support 9 is then pivoted back onto the couch frame 8, then the cushioning compensation element 18 also fills the gap with the second seat element 3.
