Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Sitzmöbel mit einem Grundgestell, einem daran bewegbar angeschlossenen Sitzteil, einer damit verbundenen Rückenlehne sowie einer von einer abgeschwenkten Nichtgebrauchs- in eine aufgeschwenkte Gebrauchsstellung verschwenkbaren Fußstütze, die über mindestens einen Schwenkbeschlag mit dem Sitzteil verbunden ist, wobei der Schwenkbeschlag der Fußstütze bewegungsabhängig mit der Rückenlehne verbunden ist.
Bei einem solchen Sitzmöbel, wie es beispielsweise aus der US 4 740 031 bekannt ist, kann die Rückenlehne weitgehend wandfrei verschwenkt werden. D.h., beim Verschwenken in eine Liegeposition wandert die Rückenlehne zusammen mit dem Sitzteil gegenüber dem Grundgestell nach vorne, so dass der äußere Abstand der Rückenlehne zum Grundrahmen in jeder Schwenkposition etwa gleich ist bzw. nur unwesentlich verändert.The invention relates to a chair with a base frame, a seat part connected thereto movable, a backrest connected thereto and one of a pivoted non-use in a pivoted position of use pivotable footrest, which is connected via at least one pivot fitting with the seat part, wherein the pivot fitting of the footrest movement dependent connected to the backrest.
In such a chair, as for example from the US 4,740,031 is known, the backrest can be pivoted largely free of wall. That is, when pivoting in a lying position, the backrest moves together with the seat part relative to the base frame forward, so that the outer distance of the backrest to the base frame in each pivot position is about the same or only slightly changed.

Zu einem Verschwenken des Fußteiles von einer abgeschwenkten Nichtgebrauchs- in eine aufgeschwenkte Gebrauchsstellung ist die Fußstütze über einen Schwenkbeschlag mit dem Sitzteil verbunden, wobei bei einer Kraftausübung auf das Sitzteil durch Gewichtsverlagerungeiner aufsitzenden Person das Sitzteil unter Aufschwenkung der Fußstütze nach vorne geschoben wird.For a pivoting of the foot part of a pivoted non-use in a pivoted position of use, the footrest is connected via a pivot fitting with the seat part, wherein when a force is applied to the seat part by Gewichtsverlagerungeiner seated person, the seat part is pushed forward under Aufschwenkung the footrest.

Durch die ausschließliche Anbindung der Fußstütze am Sitzteil ist lediglich eine Verschwenkung der Fußstütze in einem Winkelbereich von etwa 90° möglich, d.h., in einer abgesenkten Nichtgebrauchsstellung bildet die Fußstütze sozusagen die Sichtseite des Sitzmöbels von vorne, in der die Fußstütze praktisch senkrecht zum Boden steht, auf dem das Sitzmöbel abgestellt ist.Due to the exclusive connection of the footrest on the seat part, only a pivoting of the footrest in an angular range of about 90 ° is possible, ie, in a lowered non-use position, the footrest forms, so to speak, the visible side of the chair from the front, in which the footrest is practically perpendicular to the ground, on which the seating is parked.

Aus vielerlei Gründen ist diese Endposition der Fußstütze unbefriedigend. Zunächst einmal behindert sie einen uneingeschränkten bequemen Gebrauch des Sitzmöbels, da hierzu eine gewisse Fußfreiheit unterhalb des Sitzteiles gewünscht wird, die bei dem bekannten Sitzmöbel nicht gegeben ist.For many reasons, this end position of the footrest is unsatisfactory. First of all, it hinders unrestricted comfortable use of the chair, as this requires a certain amount of foot space below the seat part, which is not the case in the known seating furniture.

Darüber hinaus ist der Zugang zum Raum unterhalb des Sitzteiles, beispielsweise um den darunter befindlichen Bodenbereich zu säubern, nur zugänglich, wenn die Fußstütze aufgeschwenkt ist. Daneben wird auch die Freiheit bei der gestalterischen Konzeption des Sitzmöbels eingeschränkt, da die Positionierung der Fußstütze in optischer Hinsicht vielfach als störend empfunden wird.In addition, the access to the space below the seat part, for example, to clean the underlying floor area, accessible only when the footrest is swung open. In addition, the freedom in the design of the chair is limited, since the positioning of the footrest is visually often perceived as disturbing.

Ein weiteres Sitzmöbel mit einer weitgehend wandfrei verschwenkbaren Rückenlehne ist aus der DE 299 08 149 U1 bekannt.Another seating furniture with a largely wall-free pivoting backrest is from the DE 299 08 149 U1 known.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Sitzmöbel der gattungsgemäßen Art so weiterzuentwickeln, dass eine bodenfreie Verschwenkung der Fußstütze möglich ist.The invention is therefore based on the object, a chair of the generic type so that a floor-free pivoting of the footrest is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Sitzmöbel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a chair with the features of claim 1.

Diese konstruktive Ausbildung verbessert somit die Verwendbarkeit des Sitzmöbels, wobei deren Realisierung mit konstruktiv und fertigungstechnisch einfachen Mitteln möglich ist.This constructive training thus improves the usability of the chair, the implementation of which is possible with constructive and manufacturing technology simple means.

Da die Rückenlehne beim Verschwenken bzw. beim Aufschwenken der Fußstütze gegenüber dem Sitzteil eine Relativverschwenkung vollführt, bei der sich der Öffnungswinkel zwischen der Rückenlehne und dem Sitzteil vergrößert, wird erreicht, dass auch der Aufschwenkwinkel der Fußstütze maximiert wird. Prinzipiell erfolgt eine Verschwenkung der Fußstütze von der Nichtgebrauchs- in die Gebrauchsstellung, in der die Fußstütze praktisch eine Verlängerung des Sitzteiles darstellt, über einen Winkelbereich von etwa 180°. D.h., die Fußstütze verläuft in Nichtgebrauchsstellung unterhalb des Sitzteiles parallel dazu, wobei ein Fußpolster der Fußstütze auf der dem Sitzteil abgewandten Seite positioniert istSince the backrest when pivoting or when swinging the footrest relative to the seat part performs a relative pivoting, in which the opening angle between the backrest and the seat part increases, it is achieved that the Aufschwenkwinkel the footrest is maximized. In principle, a pivoting of the footrest from the non-use to the use position, in which the footrest is practically an extension of the seat part, over an angular range of about 180 °. That is, the footrest extends in the non-use position below the seat part parallel thereto, wherein a foot pad of the footrest is positioned on the side facing away from the seat part

Da die Fußstütze in bezug auf ihre Dicke sehr klein gehalten sein kann, ergibt sich eine relativ große Bodenfreiheit, so dass die Fußstütze in eingeschwenkter Stellung sowohl in optischer wie auch in Gebrauchshinsicht nicht als störend empfunden wird. Aufgrund der Bodenfreiheit, wie sie von Sitzmöbeln ohne Fußstütze bekannt sind, ist auch der Raum unterhalb des Sitzteiles frei zugänglich, beispielsweise zu Reinigungszwecken.Since the footrest can be kept very small in terms of their thickness, there is a relatively large ground clearance, so that the footrest in the pivoted position is not perceived as disturbing both in optical and in use. Due to the ground clearance, as they are known from seating without footrest, and the space below the seat part is freely accessible, for example for cleaning purposes.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, am Gestellrahmen einen Lenkerhebel drehbeweglich anzuordnen, der sowohl drehbar mit dem Sitzteil wie auch mit zwei Steuerhebeln verbunden ist, von denen einer am Schwenkbeschlag der Fußstütze und der andere am Rückenteil angreift.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided to rotatably arrange a handlebar lever on the frame frame, which is both rotatably connected to the seat part as well as two control levers, one of which engages the swivel fitting of the footrest and the other on the back.

Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass bei Verschwenkung des Rückenteiles, beispielsweise durch Gewichtsverlagerung oder motorisch, die Fußstütze aus ihrer Nichtgebrauchsstellung unterhalb des Sitzteiles in die Gebrauchsstellung aufgeschwenkt wird.This ensures that upon pivoting of the back part, for example, by weight shift or motor, the footrest is pivoted from its non-use position below the seat part in the use position.

Gegenüber einem Schwenkbeschlag nach dem Stand der Technik kann der Schwenkbeschlag für die Fußstütze durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung erheblich einfacher konzipiert sein, wobei der Schwenkbeschlag mit wesentlich weniger Einzelteilen auskommt als der bekannte.Compared to a pivot fitting according to the prior art, the pivot fitting for the footrest can be designed much simpler by the inventive design, the pivot fitting requires significantly less parts than the known.

Naturgemäß führt dies zu einer durchaus bemerkenswerten Kostenreduzierung sowohl in bezug auf die Herstellung wie auch in bezug auf die Montage.Of course, this leads to a quite remarkable cost reduction both in terms of manufacturing as well as with respect to the assembly.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In den Figuren ist ein Sitzmöbel dargestellt, das in seinem Grundaufbau ein mit Seitenteilen versehenes Grundgestell 4 aufweist, sowie ein daran bewegbar angeschlossenes Sitzteil 1, eine damit verbundene, weitgehend wandfrei verschwenkbare Rückenlehne 2 und eine von einer abgeschwenkten Nichtgebrauchs- (Figur 1) in eine aufgeschwenkte Gebrauchsstellung (Figur 3) verschwenkbare Fußstütze 3, die über jeweils einen, einem Seitenteil des Grundgestells 4 zugeordneten Schwenkbeschlag mit dem Sitzteil 1 verbunden ist. In der Figur 2 ist eine Zwischenstellung des Sitzmöbels von einer Nichtgebrauchs- in eine Gebrauchsstellung gezeigt.In the figures, a chair is shown, which has a basic structure provided with side panels 4 in its basic structure, and a seat part 1 movably connected thereto, a connected thereto, largely wall-free pivotable backrest 2 and one of a pivoted non-use ( FIG. 1 ) in a pivoted position of use ( FIG. 3 ) pivotable footrest 3, which is connected via one, a side part of the base frame 4 associated pivot fitting with the seat part 1. In the FIG. 2 is shown an intermediate position of the chair from a non-use to a use position.

Das Sitzteil 1 ist über einen Anschlussrahmen 6 mit der Rückenlehne 2 verbunden, wobei bei einer rückwärts gewandten Schwenkbewegung der Rückenlehne 2 sich der Winkel zum Sitzteil 1 in einem gewissen, geringen Maße vergrößert.The seat part 1 is connected via a connection frame 6 with the backrest 2, wherein in a backward pivotal movement of the backrest 2, the angle to the seat part 1 increases to a certain extent.

Am Grundgestell 4, und zwar jedem Seitenteil zugeordnet, ist eine Kragplatte 7 befestigt, an der eine Lenkerlasche 16 angeschlossen ist, die wiederum gelenkig am Sitzteil 1 angeordnet ist.On the base frame 4, namely associated with each side part, a cantilever plate 7 is fixed to which a handlebar link 16 is connected, which in turn is articulated on the seat part 1.

Der Schwenkbeschlag 5 besteht aus zwei etwa parallel zueinander ausgerichteten Koppelgliedern 14, 15, von denen eines beidseitig an einem Schwenkhebel 13 und das andere an der Kragplatte 7 abgewandt liegende Koppelglied 14 sowohl an dem Schwenkhebel 13 wie auch an einem Schwenkhebel 12 angelenkt ist. Beide Schwenkhebel 12, 13 tragen das Fußteil 3, das auf seiner Benutzungsseite mit einem Fußpolster 18 versehen ist.The pivot fitting 5 consists of two approximately parallel aligned coupling members 14, 15, one of which is hinged on both sides of a pivot lever 13 and the other on the cantilever plate 7 facing away coupling member 14 both on the pivot lever 13 as well as on a pivot lever 12. Both pivot levers 12, 13 carry the foot part 3, which is provided on its use side with a foot pad 18.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist jeder Schwenkbeschlag 5 der Fußstütze 3 bewegungsabhängig mit der Rückenlehne 2 verbunden. Hierzu ist ein Steuerhebel vorgesehen, der an einem Anschlussteil 17, das mit dem Sitzteil 1 fest verbunden ist, drehbar gelagert ist und der andererseits schwenkbar an einem Tragarm 8 befestigt ist, der fest mit dem Grundgestell 4 verbunden ist.According to the invention, each swivel fitting 5 of the footrest 3 is motion-dependent connected to the backrest 2. For this purpose, a control lever is provided, which is rotatably mounted on a connecting part 17 which is fixedly connected to the seat part 1, and on the other hand is pivotally mounted on a support arm 8 which is fixedly connected to the base frame 4.

Am anderen Ende des Lenkerhebels 9 sind zwei Steuerhebel 10, 11 drehbar angeschlossen, wobei der Steuerhebel 10 andererseits an der Rückenlehne 2 und der Steuerhebel 11 mit dem zugewandt liegenden Koppelglied 15 gelenkig angeschlossen ist.At the other end of the handlebar lever 9, two control levers 10, 11 are rotatably connected, wherein the control lever 10 on the other hand to the backrest 2 and the control lever 11 is pivotally connected to the facing coupling member 15.

Bei einem Zurückschwenken der Rückenlehne 2 aus der in der Figur 1 gezeigten Nichtgebrauchsstellung der Fußstütze 3, bei der diese unterhalb des Sitzteiles 1 positioniert ist und das Fußpolster 18 parallel zur Polsterung des Sitzteiles 1, auf der diesem gegenüberliegenden Seite angeordnet ist, wird das Fußteil 3 in eine Zwischenposition verschwenkt, wie sie in der Figur 2 zu sehen ist, während das Sitzteil 1 durch die Lenkerlasche 16 und den Lenkerhebel 9 relativ zum Grundgestell 4 nach vorne bewegt wird.When swinging back the backrest 2 from in the FIG. 1 shown non-use position of the footrest 3, in which it is positioned below the seat part 1 and the foot pad 18 is arranged parallel to the padding of the seat part 1, on the opposite side, the foot part 3 is pivoted to an intermediate position, as shown in the FIG. 2 can be seen while the seat part 1 is moved relative to the base frame 4 by the handlebar link 16 and the handlebar lever 9 forward.

Im weiteren Verlauf wird das Sitzteil 1 weiter nach vorne geführt, unter Verschwenkung der Rückenlehne 2 bis in eine in der Figur 3 dargestellte Endstellung der Fußstütze 3, in der das Fußpolster 18 oberseitig positioniert ist.In the course of the seat part 1 is further led forward, pivoting the backrest 2 into a in the FIG. 3 illustrated end position of the footrest 3, in which the foot pad 18 is positioned on the upper side.

Da das Sitzteil 1 vorderseitig angehoben wird, entsteht eine so große Bodenfreiheit, dass die Fußstütze 3 bzw. das Fußpolster 18 in seiner Fläche so groß dimensioniert sein kann, dass eine optimierte Fußauflage gegeben ist, bei Beibehaltung einer problemlosen Verschwenkbarkeit unter das Sitzteil 1.Since the seat part 1 is raised on the front, there is such a large ground clearance that the footrest 3 and the foot pad 18 can be dimensioned so large in its surface that an optimized footrest is given, while maintaining a smooth pivoting under the seat part. 1
