Ein Liegerahmen der gattungsgemäßen Art ist aus der DE 296 20 699 U1 bekannt.A lying frame of the generic type is from the DE 296 20 699 U1 known.

Bei der vorbekannten Konstruktion wird die Voreilung der Nackenstütze gegenüber dem Rückenteil und die Bewegung der Nackenstütze in Richtung des Kopfendes des Grundrahmens, durch welche eine Stauchung einer auf dem Liegerahmen aufliegenden Matratze oder dergleichen weitestgehend vermieden wird, erreicht durch Schwenkbeschläge in Form von Gelenkketten.In the prior art construction, the leading of the neck support against the back and the movement of the neck support in the direction of the head end of the base frame, by which a compression of resting on the lying frame mattress or the like is largely avoided, achieved by pivot fittings in the form of articulated chains.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen verstellbaren Liegerahmen der gattungsgemäßen Art so zu gestalten, dass die Bewegungsabläufe insbesondere der Nackenstütze, nämlich deren Voreilung gegenüber dem Rückenteil und deren Bewegung in Richtung des Kopfendes des Grundrahmens mit vergleichsweise einfachen und kostengünstig herstellbaren Beschlägen möglich ist.The present invention has for its object to make an adjustable reclining frame of the generic type so that the movements especially the neck support, namely its advance relative to the back and its movement in the direction of the head end of the base frame with comparatively simple and inexpensive to produce fittings is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Nackenstütze in Langlöchern der Führungslaschen verschiebbar geführt ist, und die Führungslaschen jeweils mit einem am Rückenteil befestigten Beschlagteil um einen Lagerbolzen schwenkbar verbunden sind und dass die Führungslaschen in einem Abstand zum Lagerbolzen ein konzentrisch zu diesem verlaufendes Langloch aufweisen, durch den ein an dem Beschlagteil befestigter Führungsbolzen hindurchtritt, wobei durch die Größe der Langlöcher der maximale Winkel der Voreilung der Nackenstütze bestimmt ist.This object is achieved in that the neck support is slidably guided in slots of the guide plates, and the guide plates are each pivotally connected to a fitting attached to the back part about a bearing pin and that the guide plates have a concentric with this extending slot at a distance from the bearing pin through which passes through a guide bolt attached to the fitting, wherein the size of the slots determines the maximum angle of the leading edge of the neck support.

Bedingt durch die Tatsache, dass die Nackenstütze beim erfindungsgemäßen Liegerahmen durch eine Verschiebung in dafür vorgesehenen Langlöchern einer Führungslasche erfolgt, kann die gesamte Beschlagkonstruktion zur Kopplung von Rückenteil und Nackenstütze relativ einfach gestaltet sein und kommt mit wenigen, preiswert herstellbaren Einzelteilen aus.Due to the fact that the neck support is carried out in the lying frame according to the invention by a displacement in designated oblong holes of a guide tab, the entire fitting construction for coupling of back and neck support can be relatively simple and comes with a few inexpensive producible items from.

Nach einer Weiterentwicklung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Führungslaschen jeweils mit einem am Rückenteil befestigten Beschlagteil um einen Lagerbolzen schwenkbar verbunden sind und dass die Führungslaschen in einem Abstand zum Lagerbolzen ein konzentrisch zu diesem verlaufendes Langloch aufweisen, durch den ein an dem Beschlagteil befestigter Führungsbolzen hindurchtritt, wobei durch die Größe des Langloches der maximale Winkel der Voreilung der Nackenstütze bestimmt ist.According to a further development of the invention it is provided that the guide plates are pivotally connected to a fitting attached to the back part about a bearing pin and that the guide tabs at a distance from the bearing pin have a concentric extending to this slot through which passes a fastened to the fitting guide pin , wherein the size of the elongated hole determines the maximum angle of the leading edge of the neck support.

In Figur 1 ist der Kopfbereich eines insgesamt mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 bezeichneten verstellbaren Liegerahmens dargestellt, der einen Grundrahmen 2, ein daran schwenkbar angeschlossenes Rückenteil 3 sowie eine Nackenstütze 4 umfasst, die ihrerseits schwenkbar am Rückenteil 3 angeschlossen ist. Darüber hinaus ist die Nackenstütze 4 in Richtung des Kopfendes 2a des Grundrahmens beweglich.In FIG. 1 is the head portion of a generally designated by the reference numeral 1 adjustable reclining frame shown comprising a base frame 2, a pivotally connected thereto back part 3 and a neck support 4, which in turn is pivotally connected to the back part 3. In addition, the neck support 4 is movable in the direction of the head end 2a of the base frame.

Die Verbindung zwischen der Nackenstütze 4 und dem Rückenteil 3 erfolgt über Schwenkbeschläge 5, die jeweils im Bereich der Längsseiten der Nackenstütze 4 vorgesehen sind und von denen einer in den Zeichnungen dargestellt ist. Der grundsätzliche Aufbau der Schwenkbeschläge 5 an den beiden Längsseiten der Nackenstütze 4 ist untereinander gleich, abgesehen davon, dass jeweils eine links- und eine rechtsseitige Ausführung erforderlich ist.The connection between the neck support 4 and the back part 3 via pivot fittings 5, which are respectively provided in the region of the longitudinal sides of the neck support 4 and one of which is shown in the drawings. The basic structure of the swivel fittings 5 on the two longitudinal sides of the neck support 4 is equal to each other, except that in each case a left and a right-side design is required.

Im Folgenden wird der Aufbau und die Wirkungsweise unter Bezugnahme auf einen derartigen Schwenkbeschlag 5 beschrieben.Hereinafter, the structure and operation will be described with reference to such a pivot fitting 5.

Wie die Zeichnungen zeigen, ist der Schwenkbeschlag 5 mit einem Beschlagteil 6 fest mit dem Rückenteil 3 verbunden. Das Rückenteil 3 ist um einen Drehpunkt 7 schwenkbar am Grundrahmen 2 angeschlossen.As the drawings show, the pivot fitting 5 is connected to a fitting 6 fixed to the back part 3. The back part 3 is pivotally connected to the base frame 2 about a pivot point 7.

Die Nackenstütze 4 ist verschiebbar in einem Langloch 8 einer Führungslasche 9 geführt, wobei die Führungslasche 9 um einen Lagerbolzen 10 verschwenkbar mit dem fest an dem Rückenteil 3 angeschlossenen Beschlagteil 6 verbunden ist. In einem Abstand zum Lagerbolzen 10 ist die Führungslasche 9 mit einem konzentrisch zum Lagerbolzen 10 verlaufenden Langloch 11 ausgestattet, welches von einem Führungsbolzen 12 durchtreten ist, der am Beschlagteil 6 befestigt ist.The neck support 4 is slidably guided in a slot 8 of a guide plate 9, wherein the guide plate 9 is pivotally connected about a bearing pin 10 with the fixed part 3 connected to the fitting part 6. At a distance from the bearing pin 10, the guide plate 9 is provided with a concentric with the bearing pin 10 extending slot 11 which is penetrated by a guide pin 12 which is fixed to the fitting part 6.

Durch dieses Langloch 11 und den in dieses Langloch 11 eingreifenden Führungsbolzen 12 wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen, die Nackenstütze 4 aus einer Grundstellung heraus, in der sich Rückenteil 3 und Nackenstütze 4 in einer gemeinsamen Ebene mit dem Grundrahmen 2 befinden und wie es in Figur 2 dargestellt ist, zunächst einmal um einen bestimmten Winkelbetrag voreilend gegenüber dem Rückenteil 3 nach oben zu schwenken, wobei das Rückenteil 3 zunächst noch in seiner Grundstellung in einer Ebene mit dem Grundrahmen 2 verbleibt. Diese Position ist in Figur 3 dargestellt.Through this slot 11 and engaging in this slot 11 guide pin 12, the possibility is created, the neck support 4 out of a basic position in which back part 3 and neck support 4 are in a common plane with the base frame 2 and as it is in FIG. 2 is shown, initially to swing by a certain angle leading towards the back part 3 upwards, the back part 3 first still in his Basic position in a plane with the base frame 2 remains. This position is in FIG. 3 shown.

Eine weitere Aufschwenkbewegung der Nackenstütze 4 hat ab der vorstehend beschriebenen Position zur Folge, dass sich auch das Rückenteil 3 aus seiner Grundstellung heraus nach oben verschwenkt, da nun der Winkel zwischen der Nackenstütze 4 und dem Rückenteil 3 unverändert bleibt.A further pivoting movement of the neck support 4 has from the position described above with the result that the back part 3 is pivoted upwards from its basic position, since now the angle between the neck support 4 and the back part 3 remains unchanged.

Die Figuren 1 bis 3 machen deutlich, dass sich der Führungsbolzen 12 bei in Grundstellung befindlichem Rückenteil 3 und Nackenstütze 4 an einem Ende des Langloches 11 und bei voreilend aufgeschwenkter Nackenstütze 4 am anderen Ende des Langloches 11 befindet und dort abstützt.The FIGS. 1 to 3 make it clear that the guide pin 12 is located in the home position located back part 3 and neck support 4 at one end of the slot 11 and at the beginning pivoted neck support 4 at the other end of the slot 11 and is supported there.

Die Kräfte zum Aufstellen oder Aufschwenken der Nackenstütze 4 und des Rückenteiles 3 werden auf den Schwenkbeschlag 5 übertragen durch einen Aufstellhebel 13. Dieser Aufstellhebel 13 ist in seinem mittleren Bereich um einen Drehpunkt 14 an einer Stützlasche 15 schwenkbar gelagert. Darüber hinaus ist der Aufstellhebel 13 in einem seiner Endbereiche mit einem Antriebshebel 16 schwenkbar verbunden, der vorzugsweise motorisch antreibbar ist.The forces for setting up or swinging the neck support 4 and the back part 3 are transmitted to the pivot fitting 5 by a set-up lever 13. This raising lever 13 is pivotally mounted in its central region about a pivot point 14 on a support bracket 15. In addition, the raising lever 13 is pivotally connected in one of its end regions with a drive lever 16, which is preferably driven by a motor.

An seinem gegenüberliegenden Ende ist der Aufstellhebel 13 mit einem mit der Nackenstütze 4 verbundenen Bolzen 17 gelenkig verbunden, wobei dieser Bolzen 17 innerhalb des Langloches 8 der Führungslasche 9 verschiebbar ist.At its opposite end of the raising lever 13 is pivotally connected to a bolt connected to the neck support 4 17, said bolt 17 is displaceable within the elongated hole 8 of the guide plate 9.

Damit die Führung der Nackenstütze 4 innerhalb des Langloches 8 stabilisiert ist, befindet sich an der Nackenstütze 4 in einem Abstand zum Bolzen 17, an dem der Aufstellhebel 13 angreift, ein weiterer, innerhalb des Langloches 8 verschiebbarer und mit der Nackenstütze 4 verbundener Bolzen 17a.Thus, the leadership of the neck support 4 is stabilized within the elongated hole 8, located on the neck support 4 at a distance from the bolt 17 to which the raising lever 13 engages, another, slidable within the slot 8 and connected to the neck support 4 bolts 17 a.

Die schon erwähnte Stützlasche 15 ist um den am Beschlagteil 6 befestigten Führungsbolzen 12 verschwenkbar mit dem Beschlagteil 6 verbunden.The already mentioned support tab 15 is pivotally connected to the fitting 6 mounted on the guide pin 12 with the fitting 6.

Nachdem nun alle Bestandteile des Schwenkbeschlages 5 beschrieben sind, kann unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren 2 bis 5 sowie 7a bis 7d der Funktionsablauf eines derartigen Schwenkbeschlages 5 beschrieben werden.Now that all components of the pivot fitting 5 are described, with reference to the FIGS. 2 to 5 and 7a to 7d, the functional sequence of such a swivel fitting 5 will be described.

In der Figur 2 ist ebenso wie in Figur 7a der Schwenkbeschlag bei in Grundstellung befindlichem Rückenteil 3 und Nackenstütze 4 gezeigt, d.h., die besagten Teile liegen in einer Ebene mit dem Grundrahmen 2. Es wird dabei deutlich, dass der Führungsbolzen 12 innerhalb des bogenförmigen Langloches 11 in dieser Position in dem dem Kopfende 2a des Grundrahmens zugewandten Endbereich des bogenförmigen Langloches 11 liegt.In the FIG. 2 is as well as in Figure 7a The pivot fitting is shown in the backrest 3 and headrest 4 located in the basic position, ie, the said parts lie in one plane with the base frame 2. It becomes clear that the guide pin 12 within the arcuate slot 11 in this position in which the head end 2a of Base frame facing end portion of the arcuate slot 11 is located.

Wird nun aus dieser Grundstellung heraus der Aufstellhebel 13 durch den vorzugsweise motorbetriebenen Antriebshebel 16 im Uhrzeigersinne um den Lagerbolzen 14 verschwenkt, wird zunächst nur die Nackenstütze 4 gegenüber dem mit dem Rückenteil fest verbundenen Beschlagteil 6 um den Lagerbolzen 10 verschwenkt. Dabei gleitet die Führungslasche 9 im Bereich ihres bogenförmigen Langloches 11 über den Führungsbolzen 12 hinweg, bis dieser an dem dem Rückenteil 3 und somit auch dem damit verbundenen Beschlagteil 6 zugewandten Ende des Langloches 11 anliegt. Diese Position ist in den Figuren 3 sowie 7b dargestellt. Die Nackenstütze 4 ist folglich gegenüber dem Rückenteil 3 voreilend um einen bestimmten Winkelbetrag nach oben verschwenkt. Die nun eingenommene Winkelstellung zwischen Rückenteil 3 und Nackenstütze 4 kann nun durch weiteres Aufschwenken nicht mehr verändert werden, so dass eine weitere Drehung des Aufstellhebels 13 im Uhrzeigersinne zur Folge hat, dass das Rückenteil 3 gemeinsam mit der Nackenstütze 4 nach oben verschwenkt wird. Dabei wird gleichzeitig die Nackenstütze 4 in Richtung des Kopfendes 2a des Grundrahmens 2 verschoben, was durch die Führung der Nackenstütze 4 innerhalb des Langloches 8 der Führungslasche 9 möglich ist.If now from this basic position of the raising lever 13 pivoted by the preferably motor-driven drive lever 16 in the clockwise direction about the bearing pin 14, only the neck support 4 is initially pivoted relative to the fixed part connected to the back part fitting 6 about the bearing pin 10. In this case, the guide plate 9 slides in the region of its arcuate elongated hole 11 on the guide pin 12 away until it rests against the back part 3 and thus also the associated fitting part 6 facing the end of the elongated hole 11. This position is in the Figures 3 and 7b. The neck support 4 is consequently pivoted upwards relative to the back part 3 by a certain angle amount. The now occupied angular position between the back part 3 and neck support 4 can not be changed by further pivoting, so that a further rotation of the raising lever 13 in the clockwise direction has the consequence that the back part 3 is pivoted together with the neck support 4 upwards. At the same time, the neck support 4 is displaced in the direction of the head end 2a of the base frame 2, which is possible by guiding the neck support 4 within the elongated hole 8 of the guide tongue 9.

Die Figuren 4 sowie 7c zeigen hierbei Zwischenstellungen, bei denen das Rückenteil 3 in eine Zwischenstellung aus ihrer Grundposition heraus nach oben verschwenkt ist und in der die Nackenstütze 4 ebenfalls in eine Zwischenposition innerhalb des Langloches 4 nach außen verschoben ist.The FIGS. 4 and 7c here show intermediate positions in which the back part 3 is pivoted upward in an intermediate position out of its basic position and in which the neck support 4 is likewise displaced outwards into an intermediate position within the oblong hole 4.

Die Figuren 5 und 7d zeigen die maximale Verschwenkposition, wobei hier deutlich wird, dass das Rückenteil 3 seine maximale Aufschwenkposition eingenommen hat und die Nackenstütze 4 innerhalb des Langloches 8 maximal nach außen verschoben worden ist.The Figures 5 and 7d show the maximum pivoting position, in which case it is clear that the back part 3 has taken its maximum Aufschwenkposition and the neck support 4 has been moved within the elongated hole 8 maximum outward.

Zum besseren Verständnis des vorher Gesagten sei noch einmal darauf hingewiesen, dass in den Figuren 2 bis 5 sowie 7a bis 7d das Beschlagteil 6 jeweils die Position des Rückenteiles 3 darstellt, da dieses Beschlagteil 6 bekanntlich fest mit dem Rückenteil 3 verbunden ist.For a better understanding of what has been said before, please note that in the FIGS. 2 to 5 and 7a to 7d, the fitting part 6 respectively represents the position of the back part 3, since this fitting part 6 is known to be firmly connected to the back part 3.

Wird nun aus der maximalen Verschwenkposition gemäß den Figuren 5 bzw. 7d durch Betätigung des Aufstellhebels 13 gegen den Uhrzeigersinn der Schwenkbeschlag 5 in seine Grundposition zurück gefahren, bleibt die Winkelstellung zwischen dem Rückenteil 3 und der Nackenstütze 4 solange erhalten, bis das Rückenteil 3 in einer gemeinsamen Ebene mit dem Grundrahmen 2 liegt. Erst dann wird eine Verschwenkung der Nackenstütze 4 gegenüber dem Rückenteil 3 möglich, bis diese ebenfalls in ihrer Grundstellung in einer parallelen Ebene zum Grundrahmen 2 liegt.Now from the maximum pivoting position according to the Figures 5 or 7d driven by actuation of the raising lever 13 in the counterclockwise direction of the pivot fitting 5 back to its basic position, the angular position between the back part 3 and the neck support 4 remains until the back part 3 is in a common plane with the base frame 2. Only then is a pivoting of the neck support 4 relative to the back 3 possible until it is also in its normal position in a plane parallel to the base frame 2.

Durch die dargestellte und beschriebene Konstruktion des Schwenkbeschlages wird also mit einfachen konstruktiven Mitteln sichergestellt, dass die Nackenstütze 4 nicht nur gegenüber dem Rückenteil 3 voreilend aufgeschwenkt werden kann, sondern darüber hinaus auch eine Verschiebung der Nackenstütze 4 in Richtung des Kopfendes 2a des Grundrahmens 2 möglich ist. Durch diese Verschiebung der Nackenstütze wird eine Stauchung einer aufliegenden Matratze oder anderen Auflage vermieden.By the illustrated and described construction of the swivel fitting is thus ensured with simple structural means that the neck support 4 can be pivoted not only relative to the back part 3 leading, but also a shift of the neck support 4 in the direction of the head end 2a of the base frame 2 is possible , This displacement of the neck support avoids compression of an overlying mattress or other support.

Zur konstruktiven Ausgestaltung des Schwenkbeschlages 5 sei noch erwähnt, dass die Nackenstütze 4 fest mit einem Winkelprofil 18 verbunden ist, welches seinerseits über die Bolzen 17 und 17a im Langloch 8 der Führungslasche 9 gehalten und geführt ist. Dabei ist vorteilhafterweise ein aus zwei Hälften 19a und 19b bestehender Schlitten aus Kunststoff vorgesehen, der ebenfalls von den Bolzen 17 und 17a durchtreten wird und der auf den beiden Außenflächen der Führungslasche 9 aufliegt, so dass sich eine gute Gleitfähigkeit der Nackenstütze 4 relativ zur Führungslasche 9 ergibt. Bevorzugt ist die mit dem Bezugszeichen 19b versehene Hälfte des Schlittens mit einem Vorsprung 19c versehen, der in das Langloch 8 hineinragt, wodurch eine weitere Verbesserung der Führung des Winkelprofiles 18 und damit der Nackenstütze 4 erreicht wird.For constructive design of the swivel fitting 5 it should be mentioned that the neck support 4 is fixedly connected to an angle section 18, which in turn is held and guided by the bolts 17 and 17a in the slot 8 of the guide plate 9. In this case, an advantageously consisting of two halves 19a and 19b slide plastic is provided, which is also from the bolts 17 and 17a pass and which rests on the two outer surfaces of the guide plate 9, so that a good lubricity of the neck support 4 relative to the guide tab 9 results. Preferably, provided with the reference numeral 19b half of the carriage is provided with a projection 19c, which projects into the slot 8, whereby a further improvement of the leadership of the angle profile 18 and thus the neck support 4 is achieved.

Bei dem bisher beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel verläuft das Langloch 8 geradlinig, so dass die Winkelstellung der Nackenstütze 4 relativ zum Rückenteil 3 durch die Verschiebung der Nackenstütze 4 nicht verändert wird.In the embodiment described so far, the slot 8 is rectilinear, so that the angular position of the neck support 4 is not changed relative to the back part 3 by the displacement of the neck support 4.

In Figur 9 ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung gezeigt, bei dem das Langloch 8 der Führungslasche 9 gebogen ausgeführt ist, so dass neben einer Verschiebung der Nackenstütze 4 in Richtung des Kopfendes des Grundrahmens 2 auch eine Veränderung der Winkelstellung der Nackenstütze 4 gegenüber dem Rückenteil 3 möglich ist, ohne dass die Führungslasche 9 ihre Winkelposition gegenüber dem Rückenteil 3 verändern kann oder muss. Die Darstellung nach Figur 9 zeigt einen zur Unterseite des Schwenkbeschlages 5 hin konvexen Verlauf des Langloches 8, wobei dies zur Folge hat, dass die Nackenstütze 4 mit zunehmendem Hochschwenken des gesamten Schwenkbeschlages 5 eine zunehmend steilere Position einnehmen kann. Es ist für einen Fachmann leicht nachvollziehbar, dass durch andere Krümmungsanordnungen, ggf. auch in Kombination mit geradlinigen Abschnitten des jeweiligen Langloches 8 bestimmte und gegebenenfalls gewünschte Effekte für die Aufstellposition der Nackenstütze 4 erzielt werden können.In FIG. 9 an embodiment of the invention is shown in which the slot 8 of the guide plate 9 is bent, so that in addition to a displacement of the neck support 4 in the direction of the head end of the base frame 2, a change in the angular position of the neck support 4 relative to the back part 3 is possible without that the guide plate 9 can or must change its angular position relative to the back part 3. The representation after FIG. 9 shows a convex to the underside of the pivot fitting 5 toward the slot 8, with the result that the neck support 4 with increasing pivoting of the entire pivot fitting 5 can assume an increasingly steeper position. It is easily understood by a person skilled in the art that certain and possibly desired effects for the installation position of the neck support 4 can be achieved by other curvature arrangements, possibly also in combination with rectilinear sections of the respective elongated hole 8.

Bis auf den zweiteiligen, aus Kunststoff gefertigten Schlitten 19, 19a zur Herabsetzung der Reibungskräfte beim Verschieben der Nackenstütze 4 relativ zur Führungslasche 9 sind in an sich bekannter Weise alle Beschlagteile als aus Metall gefertigte Stanzteile ausgebildet.Except for the two-piece, made of plastic carriage 19, 19a to reduce the frictional forces when moving the neck support 4 relative to the guide plate 9 all fitting parts are formed as a metal-made stamped parts in a conventional manner.
