Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sessel eines Sesselliftes mit Sitzen mit einer Sitzfläche und mit einem Schutzbügel, der sich quer über die Sitze erstreckt und von einer offenen Position in eine geschlossene Position verschwenkbar ist, wobei am Schutzbügel Sicherungsteile, insbesondere Schutzblenden, angeordnet sind, die sich in der geschlossenen Position des Schutzbügels in Richtung zur Mitte der Vorderkante der jeweiligen Sitzfläche hin erstrecken. Die Erfindung betrifft des weiteren einen Sessellift mit derartigen Sesseln.The invention relates to a chair of a chairlift with seats with a seat and with a protective bar, which extends across the seats and is pivotable from an open position to a closed position, wherein the protective bar securing parts, in particular protective screens are arranged, located in extend towards the closed position of the guard in the direction of the center of the front edge of the respective seat. The invention further relates to a chairlift with such armchairs.

Ein Sessel eines Sesselliftes mit am Schutzbügel angeordneten Sicherungsteilen ist aus der EP 1 721 801 A1 bekannt.An armchair of a chairlift with arranged on the guard safety parts is from the EP 1 721 801 A1 known.

Sessel für Sessellifte weisen mindestens einen Sitz, meist bis zu acht oder mehr, beispielsweise zehn, nebeneinander liegende Sitze, auf. Um ein Herausfallen oder Abrutschen der Fahrgäste vom Sessel zu verhindern, weisen diese Schutzbügel auf, die über die gesamte Breite des Sessels gehen. Diese Schutzbügel können von einer Position, in der sie über den Fahrgästen liegen (offene Position), in eine Position verschwenkt werden, in der sich ein Querbügel vor den Fahrgästen über deren Oberschenkel erstreckt (geschlossene Position). Außerdem sind an den Schutzbügeln oft noch Fußstützen vorgesehen.Armchairs for chairlifts have at least one seat, usually up to eight or more, for example ten, side by side seats. In order to prevent the passengers from falling out or slipping off the chair, they have protective bars that run the entire width of the chair. These guards can be pivoted from a position in which they lie over the passengers (open position), in a position in which a crossbar in front of the passengers on their thighs extends (closed position). In addition, footrests are often provided on the guard.

Da der Abstand zwischen Schutzbügel und Sitzfläche vorschriftsgemäß so dimensioniert ist, dass auch große Fahrgäste mit längeren Beinen unter dem Schutzbügel bequem Platz finden, ist dieser Abstand in der Regel für kleinere Personen zu groß, sodass ein Durchrutschen dieser kleineren Personen unter dem Querbügel möglich ist, insbesondere wenn sie auf Grund ihrer kürzeren Beine nicht in der Lage sind, diese auf den Fußstützen abzustützen. Um diese Gefahr des Durchrutschens für kleinere Personen zu vermindern ist es aus der AT 411 523 B und der AT 411 046 B bekannt, an den Schutzbügeln Sicherungsteile, insbesondere Schutzblenden, anzuordnen, die sich in der geschlossenen Position des Schutzbügels in Richtung zur Mitte der Vorderkante der jeweiligen Sitzflächen hin erstrecken. Diese Sicherungsteile befinden sich nach dem Verschwenken des Schutzbügels in seine geschlossene Position zwischen den Oberschenkeln der Fahrgäste.Since the distance between guard and seat is properly sized so that even large passengers with longer legs under the guard conveniently find space, this distance is usually too small for smaller people, so slipping these smaller people under the crossbar is possible especially if, due to their shorter legs, they are unable to support them on the footrests. To reduce this risk of slipping for smaller people it is from the AT 411 523 B and the AT 411 046 B it is known to arrange on the protective bars securing parts, in particular protective screens, which extend in the closed position of the protective bar towards the center of the front edge of the respective seat surfaces. These security parts are located after pivoting the guard in its closed position between the thighs of the passengers.

Die bekannten Schutzblenden sind im Wesentlichen dreieckförmig mit einem abgerundeten Ende, um eine Verletzung von Fahrgästen zu vermeiden. Ein Problem, das dabei auftreten kann, liegt darin, dass der Sicherungsteil beim Schließen des Schutzbügels auf einen Körperteil, z.B. den Oberschenkel eines Fahrgastes, stoßen oder drücken kann, wenn der Fahrgast nicht korrekt auf seinem Sitz sitzt. Ein weiteres Problem liegt darin, dass der Sicherungsteil beim Schließen des Schutzbügels bei einer eventuellen Berührung mit dem Fahrgast an dessen Helm im Nackenbereich einhaken kann, was dennoch zu direkten Verletzungsgefahren und zu diversen Folgerisiken führen kann.The known shields are substantially triangular with a rounded end to avoid injury to passengers. One problem that may arise is that when the guard bar is closed, the security member may impact or push a body part, such as a passenger's thigh, if the passenger is not sitting correctly on his seat. Another problem is that the security part can hook on closing the guard in case of a possible contact with the passenger on the helmet in the neck area, which can still lead to direct injury hazards and various consequential risks.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Sessel der eingangs genannten Gattung zu schaffen, welcher diese Probleme vermeidet.The invention is based on the object to provide a chair of the type mentioned, which avoids these problems.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch, dass die Sicherungsteile einen ersten, dem Schutzbügel benachbarten Abschnitt, der zur Vorderkante hin ausgerichtet ist und einen zweiten Endabschnitt aufweisen, der in einem Winkel kleiner 180° zum ersten Abschnitt ausgerichtet ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the securing parts have a first, adjacent to the guard portion which is aligned towards the front edge and a second end portion which is aligned at an angle of less than 180 ° to the first portion.

Bevorzugte und vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemäßen Fahrbetriebsmittels sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Preferred and advantageous embodiments of the driving equipment according to the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Dadurch, dass der Endabschnitt des Sicherungsteils gegenüber dem Abschnitt, der dem Schutzbügel zugewandt ist, in einem Winkel kleiner 180° ausgerichtet ist, trifft der Sicherungsteil den Fahrgast nicht mehr mit seinem mehr oder weniger spitzen Ende sondern es wird eine großflächigere Kontaktzone geschaffen, wodurch eine Verletzung oder ein zumindest schmerzhafter Kontakt mit dem Sicherungsteil weit gehend vermieden werden kann. Insbesondere von Vorteil ist weiters, dass der Sicherungsteil beim Schließen des Schutzbügels bei einer eventuellen Berührung mit dem Fahrgast nicht an dessen Helm im Nackenbereich einhaken kann, da der Sicherungsteil dann auf Grund seiner erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung vom Helm abgleitet.Due to the fact that the end section of the securing part is aligned at an angle of less than 180 ° with respect to the section facing the protective bar, the securing part no longer hits the passenger with his more or less sharp end but instead creates a larger contact zone, thereby creating a Injury or at least painful contact with the security part can be largely avoided. In particular advantageous further is that the safety part when hooking the guard at a possible contact with the passenger can not hook on the helmet in the neck area, since the securing part then slides due to its inventive design of the helmet.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist diese dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der erste Abschnitt eine erste dem Sitz zugewandte Fläche und der Endabschnitt eine zweite dem Sitz zugewandte Fläche aufweist und das die erste Fläche und die zweite Fläche in einem Winkel kleiner 180° zueinander ausgerichtet sind. Der Winkel zwischen diesen beiden Flächen liegt vorzugsweise zwischen 90° und 160°, ganz besonders bevorzugt zwischen 110° und 140°.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, this is characterized in that the first portion has a first surface facing the seat and the end portion has a second surface facing the seat and that the first surface and the second surface are aligned at an angle of less than 180 ° to each other. The angle between these two surfaces is preferably between 90 ° and 160 °, most preferably between 110 ° and 140 °.

Wenn der Winkel der zweiten, am Endabschnitt liegenden Fläche in diesen bevorzugten Winkelbereich liegt, wird im Fall eines Kontaktes mit dem Oberschenkel eines Fahrgastes eine große Berührungsfläche geschaffen, so dass ein unangenehmer oder schmerzhafter Kontakt weitgehend vermieden werden kann.When the angle of the second end surface is in this preferred angular range, a large contact area is created in the case of contact with the thigh of a passenger, so that unpleasant or painful contact can be largely avoided.

Die angegebenen Winkel sind natürlich davon abhängig, wie der erste, am Schutzbügel angeordnete Abschnitt zum Sitz bzw. zur Sitzfläche ausgerichtet ist. Im wesentlichen kommt es darauf an, dass die potentielle Berührungsfläche des Endabschnittes des Sicherungsteils mit dem Oberschenkeln oder einem anderen Körperteil eines Fahrgastes möglichst großflächig ist, was erfindungsgemäß durch die Abwinkelung erreicht wird.Of course, the specified angles are dependent on how the first, arranged on the guard section to the seat or the seat is aligned. In essence, it is important that the potential contact surface of the end portion of the security part with the thighs or another body part of a passenger is as large as possible, which is achieved according to the invention by the bending.

Der erste Abschnitt und der Endabschnitt können über einen mittleren Abschnitt miteinander verbunden sein, der entweder bogenförmig ist oder einen Knick aufweist, wobei die Kanten des Knicks vorzugsweise abgerundet sind.The first portion and the end portion may be interconnected by a central portion which is either arcuate or has a kink, the edges of the kink being preferably rounded.

Sowohl die dem Fahrgast bzw. Sitz zugewandte Fläche des Endabschnittes als auch jene des ersten Abschnittes und gegebenenfalls eines mittleren Abschnittes, sofern einer vorhanden ist, können in Längserstreckung des Sicherungsteils betrachtet sowohl weitgehend ebenflächig als auch gekrümmt sein. Es ist auch denkbar, dass die Fläche eines Abschnittes eben oder annähernd eben ist und die andere Fläche gekrümmt. Es ist weiters denkbar, dass alle dem Sitz zugewandten Flächen der Abschnitte eine durchgehende, gemeinsame, kontinuierliche oder diskontinuierlich Krümmung aufweisen.Both the passenger-facing surface of the end portion and that of the first portion and optionally a central portion, if any, can be viewed in the longitudinal extent of the security part both largely planar and curved. It is also conceivable that the surface of one section is flat or approximately flat and the other surface is curved. It is further conceivable that all the surfaces facing the seat of the sections have a continuous, common, continuous or discontinuous curvature.

Der erfindungsgemäße Sessel kann in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung zwischen den Sitzflächen sich über die Sitzflächen erhebende Trennelemente aufweisen. Durch die Trennelemente spürt ein Fahrgast sofort, wenn er im Übergangsbereich von einem Sitz zu einem benachbarten Sitz Platz nimmt. Er wird dann sofort seine Sitzposition korrigieren noch bevor der Schutzbügel in seine geschlossene Position verschwenkt wird. Die Beine des Fahrgastes befinden sich dann automatisch in einer Position, in welcher unerwünschte Kollisionen mit dem Sicherungsteil weitgehend vermieden werden.The armchair according to the invention may, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, have separating elements rising above the seat surfaces between the seat surfaces. By means of the separating elements, a passenger immediately feels when he sits in the transition area from one seat to a neighboring seat. He will then immediately correct his sitting position before the guard is pivoted to its closed position. The legs of the passenger are then automatically in a position in which unwanted collisions with the security part are largely avoided.

Im Vergleich mit den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Sicherungsteilen, insbesondere Schutzblenden kann die parallel zur Vorderkante der Sitze gemessene Breite des erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsteils sehr gering gehalten werden, um insgesamt mehr Beinfreiheit zu gewähren.In comparison with the known from the prior art security parts, in particular protective screens, the measured parallel to the front edge of the seats width of the security device according to the invention can be kept very low, to allow more total legroom.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnungen.Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings.

In Fig. 1 ist eine Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Sessels 1 dargestellt, der wie an sich bekannt einen Rahmen 2 aufweist, der über ein Gelenk 3 mit einer Tragstange 4 und einer Klemmvorrichtung 5 an ein Förderseil 9 gekuppelt ist. Der Sessel 1 besitzt mehrere nebeneinander liegende Sitze 14, welche eine Sitzfläche 6 und eine Rückenlehne 7 aufweisen. Um zu verhindern, dass Fahrgäste vom Sessels 1 stürzen, ist ein Schutzbügel 8 vorgesehen, der von einer in Fig. 1 dargestellten, oberen und offenen Stellung in eine ebenfalls in Fig. 1 dargestellte untere und geschlossene Stellung bewegt werden kann. Der Schutzbügel 8 kann entweder automatisch mit Hilfe eines Mechanismus 10, der mit einer nicht dargestellten, in den Stationen vorgesehenen Einrichtung zusammen wirkt, oder von den Fahrgästen manuell geschlossen und geöffnet werden. Zusätzlich kann der Sessel auch eine Haube 15 aufweisen.In Fig. 1 an embodiment of an armchair 1 according to the invention is shown, which as known per se has a frame 2 which is coupled via a hinge 3 with a support rod 4 and a clamping device 5 to a hoist rope 9. The chair 1 has a plurality of adjacent seats 14, which have a seat surface 6 and a backrest 7. In order to prevent passengers from falling from the chair 1, a guard 8 is provided by one in Fig. 1 illustrated, upper and open position in a likewise in Fig. 1 shown lower and closed position can be moved. The guard 8 may be either automatically by means of a mechanism 10 which cooperates with a device, not shown, provided in the stations, or manually closed and opened by the passengers. In addition, the chair can also have a hood 15.

Mit Hilfe des in Fig. 1 nur angedeuteten, geschlossenen und umlaufenden Förderseils 9 werden die Sessel 1 von einer in den Zeichnungen nicht dargestellten Talstation, gegebenenfalls über eine oder mehrere Zwischenstationen, zu einer Bergstation und wieder zurück gefördert. Die Sessel 1 können dabei entweder mit einer Klemmvorrichtung 5 wie sie beispielhaft in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist, in den Stationen vom Förderseil 9 abgekuppelt und wieder an dieses angekuppelt werden. Es ist aber auch möglich, die Sessel 1 fix an das Förderseil 9 zu klemmen.With the help of in Fig. 1 only indicated, closed and revolving hoisting rope 9, the chair 1 are supported by a valley station, not shown in the drawings, optionally via one or more intermediate stations, to a mountain station and back again. The chair 1 can be either with a clamping device 5 as exemplified in Fig. 1 is shown uncoupled in the stations of the hoist rope 9 and be coupled to this again. But it is also possible to fix the chair 1 fixed to the hoisting rope 9.

Ein Sicherungsteil 12, insbesondere eine Schutzblende, erstreckt sich in der geschlossenen Stellung des Schutzbügels 8 zwischen die Oberschenkel 17, 18, 19 der Fahrgäste, die in Fig. 2 und 3 symbolisch dargestellt sind, und verhindert, dass insbesondere kleinere Personen wie Kinder unter dem Schutzbügel 8 durchrutschen. Der Sicherungsteil, der in den Fig. 5 bis 9 detailliert dargestellt ist, ist mit Hilfe einer Montageplatte 16 am Schutzbügel 8 befestigt.A securing part 12, in particular a protective cover, extends in the closed position of the protective bow 8 between the thighs 17, 18, 19 of the passengers who are in FIGS. 2 and 3 are shown symbolically, and prevents especially smaller persons such as children from slipping under the guard 8. The security part, in the Fig. 5 to 9 is shown in detail, is attached by means of a mounting plate 16 on the guard bracket 8.

Damit die Fahrgäste auf den Sitzen 14 eine korrekte Position einnehmen und sich der Sicherungsteil 12 auch tatsächlich zwischen den Beinen eines Fahrgastes befindet, können zwischen den Sitzen 14 Trennelemente 11 angebracht sein, welche sich über die Sitzfläche 6 der Sitze 14 erheben und eine korrekte Sitzposition der Fahrgäste auf den Sitzen 14 fördern. Durch die Trennelemente 11 spürt ein Fahrgast sofort, wenn er nicht korrekt in der Mitte eines Sitzes 14 sitzt, so dass er seine Sitzposition korrigieren kann noch bevor der Schutzbügel 8 automatisch oder manuell geschlossen wird.Thus, the passengers occupy a correct position on the seats 14 and the securing member 12 is actually between the legs of a passenger, 14 dividers 11 may be mounted between the seats, which rise above the seat surface 6 of the seats 14 and a correct seating position Promote passengers on the seats 14. By the separating elements 11, a passenger feels immediately if he is not sitting correctly in the middle of a seat 14 so that he can correct his sitting position before the guard 8 is closed automatically or manually.

Auch wenn solche Trennelemente 11 vorhanden sind und insbesondere dann, wenn sie nicht vorhanden sind, kann es passieren, dass ein Sicherungsteil 12 auf einen Oberschenkel 17, 18, 19 eines Fahrgastes drückt, weil dieser nicht korrekt auf seinem Sitz 14 sitzt und sich ein Oberschenkel 17, 18, 19 beim Schließen des Schutzbügels 8 ganz oder teilweise unter dem Sicherungsteil 12 befindet. Dieses Risiko besteht insbesondere dann, wenn der Schutzbügel 8 automatisch geschlossen wird. Auch kann es passieren, dass ein Fahrgast am Kopf, am Nackenbereich, am Rücken oder an der Schulter von einem Sicherungsteil 12 getroffen wird, wenn er sich während des Schließens des Schutzbügels 8 gerade nach vorne beugt.Even if such dividers 11 are present and especially if they are not present, it can happen that a securing member 12 presses on a thigh 17, 18, 19 of a passenger because it is not sitting correctly on his seat 14 and a thigh 17, 18, 19 completely or partially under the securing part 12 when closing the guard 8. This risk exists in particular when the guard 8 is automatically closed. It can also happen that a passenger is hit at the head, neck, back or shoulder of a security part 12 when he bends straight during the closing of the guard 8 forward.

Um in solchen Fällen zu vermeiden, dass derartige unerwünschte Kontakte mit einem Sicherungsteil 12 als unangenehm oder schmerzhaft empfunden werden bzw. dass der Sicherungsteil 12 am Helm im Nackenbereich des Fahrgastes einhakt, besteht der erfindungsgemäße Sicherungsteil 12 aus einem ersten oberen Abschnitt 20, der am Schutzbügel 8 angeordnet ist und einem zweiten Endabschnitt 21. Der erste obere Abschnitt 20 weist eine Fläche 23 und der Endabschnitt 21 eine Fläche 24 auf, die beide dem Sitz 14 beziehungsweise dem Fahrgast zugewandt sind. Zwischen dem oberen Abschnitt 20 und dem Endabschnitt 21 liegt ein mittlerer Abschnitt 22, der eine gekrümmte Fläche 25 aufweist, die zwischen den Flächen 23 und 24 liegt. Der obere Abschnitt 20 und der Endabschnitt 21 sind in einem Winkel kleiner 180° zueinander angeordnet, wodurch die beiden Flächen 23 und 24 ebenfalls in einem Winkel α kleiner 180°, im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel einem Winkel α von 113°, zueinander angeordnet sind.In order to avoid in such cases that such unwanted contacts with a securing part 12 are perceived as unpleasant or painful or that the securing part 12 hooks on the helmet in the neck area of the passenger, there is the securing part according to the invention 12 of a first upper portion 20 which is disposed on the protective bracket 8 and a second end portion 21. The first upper portion 20 has a surface 23 and the end portion 21 has a surface 24, both facing the seat 14 and the passenger. Between the upper portion 20 and the end portion 21 is a middle portion 22 having a curved surface 25 which lies between the surfaces 23 and 24. The upper portion 20 and the end portion 21 are arranged at an angle smaller than 180 ° to each other, whereby the two surfaces 23 and 24 are also at an angle α less than 180 °, in the illustrated embodiment an angle α of 113 °, to each other.

Wie am besten in Fig. 4 zu erkennen ist, ist die Sitzfläche 6 im Bereich einer Vorderkante 26 nach unten abgerundet. Durch den abgewickelten Endabschnitt 21 des Sicherungsteils 12 liegt dessen Fläche 24 in geschlossener Position des Schutzbügels 8 in einer Ebene 27, die zu einer Tangentialebene 28 der abgerundeten Vorderkante 26 parallel liegt. Wenn der Schutzbügel 8 sich noch nicht ganz in seiner geschlossenen Position befindet, z. B. weil er gerade geschlossen wird, ist der Winkel der Ebene 27 zu einer horizontalen Ebene beziehungsweise zu einer Ebene, in welcher der eigentliche Sitzbereich der Sitzfläche 6 liegt, kleiner, so dass die Fläche 24 einen Körperteil eines Fahrgastes im Falle einer Kollision mit einer größeren Kontaktfläche trifft als wenn der Sicherungsteil 12 wie im Stand der Technik üblich nur gerade nach unten ragen würde.How best in Fig. 4 can be seen, the seat 6 is rounded down in the region of a front edge 26. By the unwound end portion 21 of the securing part 12 whose surface 24 is in the closed position of the protective bracket 8 in a plane 27, which is parallel to a tangential plane 28 of the rounded front edge 26. If the guard 8 is not yet completely in its closed position, z. B. because he is just closed, the angle of the plane 27 to a horizontal plane or to a plane in which the actual seating area of the seat surface 6 is smaller, so that the surface 24 a body part of a passenger in the event of a collision with a larger contact surface than when the securing member 12 would protrude as usual in the prior art only straight down.

Wie in den Fig. 5 bis 9 zu erkennen ist, weist der Sicherungsteil 12 ein relativ breites und stark abgerundetes Ende 29 auf. Außerdem weist der Sicherungsteil 12 eine im wesentlichen dreieckförmige Querschnittsform auf, welche dem Sicherungsteil 12 einerseits eine große Stabilität verleiht, so dass dieser auch aus einem elastischen Werkstoff hergestellt werden kann, was die Gefahr von Verletzungen weiter vermindert, und außerdem auf allen Seiten große Kontaktflächen schafft, falls es von einer anderen als der dem Sitz 14 zugewandten Seite zu Kollisionen kommen sollte.As in the Fig. 5 to 9 can be seen, the securing part 12 has a relatively wide and strongly rounded end 29. In addition, the securing part 12 has a substantially triangular cross-sectional shape, which gives the securing part 12 on the one hand a great stability, so that it can also be made of an elastic material, which further reduces the risk of injury, and also creates large contact surfaces on all sides if it should come from a side other than the seat 14 side facing collisions.

In den Fig. 5 und 6 ist am besten ersichtlich, dass der Endabschnitt 21 eine der Fläche 24 gegenüberliegende Fläche 30 aufweist. Im Rahmen der Erfindung ist der Winkel zwischen den Flächen 24, 30 des Endabschnittes 21 größer 10°, vorzugsweise zwischen 20° und 60°, insbesondere zwischen 30° und 40°.In the FIGS. 5 and 6 is best seen that the end portion 21 has a surface 24 opposite surface 30. In the context of the invention, the angle between the surfaces 24, 30 of the end portion 21 is greater than 10 °, preferably between 20 ° and 60 °, in particular between 30 ° and 40 °.

Um zu erreichen, dass Fahrgäste, insbesondere Kinder, die Beine etwas auseinander geben und sich korrekt auf die Sitze 14 setzen, damit der Schutzteil 12 problemlos zwischen den Beinen angeordnet werden kann, kann zusätzlich vorgesehen sein, dass im Bereich der Vorderkante 26 jedes oder zumindest einiger Sitze 14 ein mittiger Bereich angeordnet ist, der sich hinsichtlich seiner graphischen Gestaltung von den seitlich daneben angeordneten Bereichen unterscheidet. Dieser mittige Bereich kann eine Markierung 13, beispielsweise eine Graphik, insbesondere ein Bild, ein Muster, ein Logo, z.B. ein Firmenlogo, oder dergleichen sein. Die Markierung 13 kann in einer einfachen Ausführungsform eine mehr oder weniger einfache geometrische Figur (z.B. Kreis, Kreuz, Dreieck, Viereck, Linie) darstellen, welche an sich bereits den frei zu lassenden Bereich kennzeichnet. Die Markierung kann beispielsweise auch ein Bild einer Comic-Figur oder eines Maskottchens sein, um insbesondere Kinder zu motivieren, diesen Bereich frei zu lassen, indem ihre Aufmerksamkeit zumindest beim Einsteigen in den Sessel 1 auf das Bild gelenkt wird und einen Anreiz darstellt, sich korrekt auf den Sitz 14 zu setzen und die Beine etwas auseinander zu geben.In order to ensure that passengers, especially children, give the legs something apart and sit correctly on the seats 14, so that the protective part 12 can be easily arranged between the legs, can be additionally provided that in the region of the front edge 26 each or at least some seats 14 a central area is arranged, which differs in terms of its graphic design of the laterally arranged adjacent areas. This central area can be a marking 13, for example a graphic, in particular an image, a pattern, a logo, eg a company logo, or the like. The marker 13 may be in a simple embodiment, a more or less simple geometric figure (eg circle, cross, triangle, square, line) represent, which in itself already indicates the area to be left free. The marker can also be, for example, an image of a cartoon character or a mascot, in particular to motivate children to leave this area free by their attention is directed at least when entering the chair 1 on the image and is an incentive to correct to sit on the seat 14 and to give the legs something apart.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Breite des Sicherungsteils 12 parallel zur Vorderkante 26 der Sitzfläche 6 gemessen zumindest im zweiten Endabschnitt 21 gleich groß oder kleiner als die Breite der Markierung 13.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the width of the securing part 12 is measured parallel to the front edge 26 of the seat 6 at least in the second end portion 21 is equal to or smaller than the width of the mark thirteenth

Zusammenfassend kann ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wie folgt dargestellt werden:In summary, an embodiment of the invention can be represented as follows:
