Definitions

  • the application relates to a variable piece of furniture with at least two seat elements, on each of which a person can take place, wherein at least one seat element between a first and a second position so back and forth is displaceable that a person either from a first page or one of first side opposite the second side of the piece of furniture on the Sikelement can take place.
  • a variable piece of furniture is also from the document DE 20100661 U1 known.
  • a person sitting comfortably on a seat element generally has a viewing direction predetermined by the orientation of the seat element.
  • the piece of furniture usually occupies a predetermined position in the room.
  • the viewing direction of the person sitting on the seat element is ultimately determined by the arrangement of the piece of furniture in the room.
  • a user of the piece of furniture must therefore very carefully consider how he arranges the piece of furniture in the room, because by the piece of furniture, the space is divided into two different areas, the piece of furniture is easily accessible only from one area and persons, sitting on the piece of furniture, facing only one of the two areas. Communication with people in the other area is made more difficult.
  • Object of the present invention is to develop a piece of furniture of the type mentioned in such a way that it has improved possibilities of variation and thereby counteracts a positioning in the middle of a room of a rigid subdivision of the space into two separate areas.
  • the piece of furniture has two perpendicular aligned Schankel, wherein at the free end of at least one leg a Sikelement is arranged, which is displaced so that a person either from a first page or from one of the first side opposite second side of the furniture on the seat element can take place.
  • the idea flows in that a rigid subdivision of a space in an area in front of the piece of furniture and an area behind the piece of furniture can be counteracted by at least one seat element can be changed in its orientation by 180 °.
  • the person taking the seat can turn to the room area in front of the piece of furniture or the space behind the piece of furniture by simply shifting the seat element.
  • the communication between the people in the room is thereby improved, a rigid division of the space into two separate areas is counteracted.
  • the at least one displaceable seat element is pivotable about at least 180 ° about a vertical axis. This makes the seat element easily accessible from opposite sides of the piece of furniture.
  • the at least one displaceable seat element is at least 270 ° pivotable about a vertical axis.
  • the at least one displaceable seat element is pivotable through 360 ° about a vertical axis.
  • the at least one displaceable seat element first and second backrest parts, wherein in a first position of the seat element, the first backrest part as a backrest and the second backrest part acts as an armrest and wherein in the second position of the seat element, the first backrest part as an armrest and the second backrest part acts as a backrest.
  • a backrest part can optionally serve as an armrest or as a backrest. It is particularly advantageous if the at least one displaceable seat element is pivotable through 90 ° about a vertical axis.
  • the backrest parts can act as an armrest and also as a backrest, a pivoting movement of 90 ° is sufficient to change the orientation of the seat element by 180 °. This facilitates the handling of the furniture.
  • the at least one displaceable seat element can be pivoted by 270 ° about a vertical axis.
  • the two backrest parts are identical.
  • the two backrest parts are directly connected.
  • the two backrest parts are integrally connected to each other.
  • a further simplification of the handling of the piece of furniture during displacement of the at least one seat element is achieved in an advantageous embodiment in that the first backrest part is pivotable at the transition of the displaceable seat element from the first position to the second position in the direction away from an immediately adjacent seat element direction.
  • first backrest part is pivotable in the transition of the displaceable seat element from the first position to the second position in the direction of an immediately adjacent seat element facing direction.
  • the piece of furniture preferably comprises at least a first, displaceable seat element and at least one second, non-displaceable seat element. It is particularly favorable if the piece of furniture has at least two seat elements which are displaceable in such a way that a person can optionally take a seat on a respective seat element from a first side or from a second side of the furniture opposite the first side.
  • a further seat element is arranged between the two displaceable seat elements.
  • the further seat element may for example be designed such that it has neither an armrest nor a backrest. This gives the user the opportunity not only to occupy a seated position on one of the two displaceable seat elements, but he can also assume a lying position, wherein he claimed in addition to a movable seat element and the other seat element.
  • the further seat element is preferably held immobile.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the piece of furniture according to the invention is characterized in that the piece of furniture in the plan view is L-shaped and has two mutually perpendicular legs, wherein at the free end of at least one leg, a seat member is arranged, which is displaceable such that a Person either from a first page or from one of the first side opposite second side of the furniture on the seat element can take place.
  • a seat element is arranged in the connecting region of the two legs, which is displaceable such that a person optionally from a first side or from one of the first side opposite second side of the furniture on the seat element can take place.
  • the displacement of the at least one seat element takes place in an advantageous embodiment in that the seat element is pivotable about a vertical pivot axis and in a direction aligned perpendicular to the pivot axis plane.
  • the displaceability makes it possible to initially move the displaceable seat element in such a way that it occupies a greater distance from an immediately adjacent seat element. Subsequently, the seat element can be pivoted about the vertical pivot axis and then moved back in the direction of the adjacent seat element.
  • the storage of the at least one displaceable seat element is preferably carried out via a slotted guide. This increases the mechanical strength of the piece of furniture. The risk that the displaceable seat element canted during its movement can be kept low by the slotted guide.
  • the slotted guide allows the user to relocate the seat element without much effort.
  • the link guide allows a movable mounting of the at least one seat element to a support member.
  • the latter may for example have a link plate with at least one guide groove in which a sliding block held on the seat element is displaceable.
  • the slotted guide on a straight and a curved guide groove, in each of which a sliding block is displaceable.
  • the straightforward Guide groove allows a simple way to move the seat member in a direction perpendicular to the vertical pivot axis aligned plane, thereby increasing the distance of this seat member to an adjacent seat member. Subsequently, the seat element can be pivoted by providing the curved guide groove in a simple manner.
  • the seat element has a backrest and an armrest, which are aligned perpendicular to each other, and when the linear guide groove is oriented relative to the first position of the seat element in the direction of the bisector between the backrest and the armrest.
  • the seat part has only one backrest, then it is favorable if the rectilinear guide groove is aligned parallel to the backrest.
  • the piece of furniture can be designed in a variety of forms. It is particularly advantageous if the furniture is upholstered.
  • FIGS. 1 to 5 schematically an inventive piece of furniture in the form of a sofa 10 is shown.

  • a second seat element 16 which can not be displaced, adjoins the first seat element 14, and a third seat element 18, which closes the free end of the first leg 11, adjoins the second seat element 16
  • Leg 11 forms and, like the first seat member 14 between a in FIG. 1 shown first position and a in FIG. 5 shown second position can be moved back and forth.
  • a fourth seat element 20 adjoins the first seat element 14, which is configured identically to the second seat element 16 and likewise can not be displaced.
  • the fourth seat element 20 is adjoined in the region of the free end of the second leg 12 by a fifth seat element 22, which can likewise be displaced between a first, in FIG. 1 position shown and a second, in FIG. 5 position shown.
  • the displaceable seat elements 14, 18 and 22 are identical. They each have a first backrest part 24 and a second backrest part 25, which are integrally connected to each other and configured identically.
  • the first backrest part 24 acts as a backrest
  • the second backrest part 25 acts as an armrest.
  • the viewing direction of a person who takes on the displaceable seat elements 14, 18 or 22 in their first position is essentially directed into the area between the two legs 11 and 12. From this area, the seat elements 14, 18 and 22 are accessible in their first position.
  • the first backrest parts 24 function as armrest and the second backrest parts 25 assume the function of a backrest.
  • the seat members 14 and 18 are accessible from the other side of the sofa.
  • the viewing direction of a person who takes Patz on the first seat element 14 or on the third seat element 18 is now facing away from the second leg 12.
  • the orientation of the seat elements 14 and 18 has rotated by 180 °, a seated person is now not the area between the two legs 11 and 12 facing but the opposite area on the other side of the first leg eleventh
  • the fifth seat element 22 If a person takes place on the fifth seat element 22 in its second position, then it continues to face the area between the legs 11 and 12, but the first backrest part 24 is now aligned transversely to the longitudinal direction of the second leg 12 and assumes the function of an armrest and the second backrest part 25 serves as a backrest.
  • the fifth seat element is accessible in the second position but not only from the area between the two legs, a person can also sit from the free end face of the second leg 12 on the fifth seat element, wherein it is with the back to the first backrest part 24th inspired.
  • the transition of the displaceable seat elements 14, 18 and 22 between the first and the second position is in FIG. 3 illustrated. It is done by a combined sliding and pivoting movement.
  • the seat elements 14 and 18 are first shifted obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the first leg 11 to the outside, so that they have a greater distance from the rest of the seating elements, and then they are pivoted about a vertical pivot axis by 90 °.
  • the pivoting direction in the transition from the first to the second position is selected such that the first backrest acting in the first position first backrest part 24 is pivoted in the direction away from the adjacent second seat member 16 outward direction.
  • the displaceable fifth seat element 22 is initially shifted obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the second leg 12 during the transition from the first to the second position, so that it has a greater distance from the remaining seat elements, and then it is about a vertical pivot axis by 90 ° pivoted.
  • the pivoting direction during the transition from the first to the second position is selected such that the first backrest part 24, which initially acts as the back part, is pivoted in the direction facing the adjacent fourth seat element.
  • the orientation of a seat element is understood to mean the direction of access for a person taking a seat on the seat element.
  • the displaceable seat elements 14, 18 and 22 are each mounted on a link plate 30 via a slotted guide 28.
  • the link plate 30 has a linear guide groove 32 and an approximately arcuate curved guide groove 33, in each of which a rigidly connected to the respective seat member 14, 18 and 22 sliding block 35 and 36 is immersed.
