Definitions

  • the invention relates to a chair, in particular a chair, with a resilient frame on which a seat can be arranged.
  • a cantilever is a chair without hind legs, whose seat under the weight of a person yielding resiliently and sinks slightly backwards.
  • a cantilever has a supporting frame, wherein the front legs forming parts of the frame in each case buckle down and back to top. At the bottom, the frame continues on the floor to the rear edge of the chair. At the top, the frame runs parallel to the parts of the frame that run along the floor to the rear edge of the chair, and the two sides of the frame are also in parallel planes. In the side view, the frame of such a cantilever on a substantially U-shape.
  • the upper parts of the frame serve as a support for the seat surface, wherein the upper parts of the frame are substantially parallel to each other and wherein the seat surface is arranged substantially between the two upper parts of the frame.
  • the chair has a frame top, two frame bottoms and two frame middle parts each connecting a frame bottom to the frame top.
  • the frame upper part extends from a rear region of a seat surface which can be arranged on the frame upper part into a front region of the seat surface.
  • the frame bases form at least partially parallel to the seat and from the front of the seat in the rear of the seat extending floor skids.
  • the frame middle parts each extend from the respective frame lower part in the rear region of the seat surface obliquely upwards to the frame upper part in the front region of the seat surface.
  • a chair is known with a frame that forms a floor support and has a lower part that extends from the front side upwards. At the top of the lower part, two rearwardly extending seat support join, which run parallel to each other.
  • Object of the present invention was to provide a chair, in particular a chair, with a resilient frame, which avoids the known from the prior art disadvantages and in particular a offers high seating comfort and flexibility.
  • a chair in particular a chair, with a resiliently shaped frame, which in the side view is substantially Z-shaped and which comprises a frame top, two frame bases and two frame middle parts each connecting a frame base to the frame top.
  • the frame upper part extends from a rear region of a seat surface which can be arranged on the frame upper part into a front one Area of the seat.
  • the frame bases form at least partially parallel to the seat and from the front of the seat in the rear of the seat extending floor skids.
  • the frame middle parts each extend from the respective frame lower part in the rear region of the seat surface obliquely upwards to the frame upper part in the front region of the seat surface, whereby in a preferred embodiment the lateral distance between the frame middle parts and the frame upper part and thus the seat surface decreases.
  • the distance of the frame center parts to each other on the frame top corresponds to a maximum of two-thirds, preferably a maximum of half the width of the seat in the front area to allow an at least partially lateral, ergonomically advantageous movement of the frame shell against the frame bases when using the chair without them the frame bases lift off the ground substantially.
  • the present invention in the region of the frame shell, ie in the region of the seat, small distance between the middle parts of the frame rocking the seat is allowed to the right and to the left, which gives a particularly comfortable sitting. Because the Z-shaped configuration of the frame and a rocking forward and forward is possible, the seat can be tilted almost in any direction.
  • the substantially Z-shaped configuration of the upwardly converging frame also achieves improved stackability of the seat, since the central frame parts in the stacked state are not exactly in front of each other, as in the case of free-swinging devices known in the art, but partly overlap. As a result, a certain degree of self-centering of the stacked seating furniture is achieved.
  • the overlap ensures that the upper seating furniture is not offset, as in the prior art, by at least the thickness of the frame central part in two stacked seats, but only by a portion of this thickness.
  • This allows more seating to be stacked on top of one another until the stack becomes unstable due to the center of gravity moving forward with increasing altitude.
  • by the of the respective frame lower part in the rear area of the seat obliquely upward to the frame upper part in the front region of the seat extending frame middle parts achieved a particularly good freedom of movement in the leg and foot area.
  • the distance between the middle parts of the frame on the upper frame part can correspond to a maximum of one third of the width of the seat surface in the front region.
  • the frame bases may be substantially parallel to each other.
  • the frame upper part can be substantially trapezoidal in shape and become wider towards the rear region of the seat so that a stable arrangement of the seat surface on the frame upper part is ensured.
  • a connecting element which is inclined against the surface formed by the upper frame part.
  • the connecting element may on the one hand be provided to increase the stability of the frame in the upper region, on the other hand, the connecting element may be used to connect the seat to the frame.
  • the connecting element preferably has a fastening device, so that arm supports and / or writing supports can be attached to the connecting element.
  • the frame may be configured in one piece.
  • the frame metal preferably steel, on, wherein the frame has a round, preferably circular profile.
  • the frame may also comprise a durable plastic.
  • a transverse strut may be provided, which connects the frame bases together.
  • the transverse strut is preferably arranged in the middle or in the rear region of the frame lower parts. This increases the stability of the frame even further.
  • Fig. 1 shows a seating furniture according to the invention, here a chair, with a resilient frame 10.
  • the frame 10 comprises two frame bases 12a, 12b, a frame top 11 and two each frame frame 12a, 12b with the frame top 11 connecting termemitteilmaschine 13a, 13b.
  • the frame has a substantially Z-shape.
  • the Z-shaped configuration of the frame in the side view is in Fig. 3 particularly easy to recognize.
  • the frame center parts 13a, 13b each run from the rear, laterally outer region of the frame bases 12a, 12b obliquely upwards to the frame top 11 in the front region of the seat surface 20, where their lateral distance is less.
  • the stability of the frame 10 is given despite the lack of front legs in that the force that arises from the sitting down of a person on the chair, is derived via the tension in the middle frame parts 13a, 13b obliquely backwards to the frame bases 12a, 12b.
  • the frame central parts 13a, 13b converge towards the frame upper part 11, so that the distance between the frame middle parts 13a, 13b to each other in the front region of the seat surface 20 is smaller than in the rear region of the seat surface 20, ie where the middle frame parts 13a, 13b on the frame bases 12a, 12b meet.
  • the convergence of the frame center parts to the frame top 11 out is special good at Fig. 4 can be seen and referred to Fig. 4 described in more detail.
  • the frame top 11 is designed trapezoidal here and is wider to the rear of the seat 20. This ensures that the seat 20 can be stably arranged on the frame upper part 11.
  • a transverse strut may be provided between the frame bases 12a, 12b and / or the frame middle parts 13a, 13b (not shown here).
  • the transverse strut is arranged in the rear region of the frame lower parts 12a, 12b. It essentially prevents the frame bases from moving against each other when loaded.
  • this may also be designed substantially rectangular or circular.
  • the frame lower parts 12a, 12b run essentially parallel to the seat surface 20 and have floor protectors at the front and at the rear end, respectively.
  • the two frame bases 12a, 12b can each be designed as floor skids, the floor skids in the front area and in the rear area may have an upward curvature and extend substantially straight in the central region.
  • a seat with a configuration of the frame bases 12a, 12b as floor skids is used in the middle, straight area for normal sitting, while the seating furniture follows the movement of the user when it leans forward or backward.
  • Armrests 40 are attached to the frame upper part 11, which are guided laterally outwards below the seat surface 20 and are guided upwards outside the seat surface 20.
  • a writing pad or writing support On one of the armrests 40 may alternatively be arranged a writing pad or writing support, which is preferably designed to be pivotable.
  • Fig. 2 shows a frame of a chair according to the invention in an isometric view with attached to the frame armrests.
  • a connecting element 30 is arranged, which is fixedly connected to the frame upper part 11.
  • the connecting element 30 or a part of the connecting element 30 is inclined against the surface formed by the frame upper part 11.
  • the inclined part of the connecting element 30 is provided to connect the seat surface 20, for example by means of a screw connection with the frame 10.
  • the fastening device 30 may additionally be provided to increase the stability of the frame in the upper region.
  • the connecting element 30 also has a fastening device, so that the armrest and / or writing supports or writing pads can be attached to the connecting element.
  • a plate can be attached to the connecting element which extends substantially laterally beyond the frame top.
  • an armrest 40 can be attached to the protruding parts.
  • the armrests 40 can also be attached to the plate in such a way that, for example, they can be pivoted forward into the region below the seat surface.
  • a locking mechanism may additionally be provided to lock the armrest 40 in use.
  • Fig. 3 shows a seating according to the invention in an isometric view substantially from below.
  • Clearly recognizable here is the side view substantially Z-shaped frame configured.
  • the seat surface 20 has in the rear area a recess or a depression 50 into which the portion of the substantially trapezoidal frame upper part running in the rear region of the seat surface 20 can be arranged in a form-fitting manner.
  • this has on the underside a stable surface 35, on which the seat 20 can be connected to the connecting element 30.
  • the stable surface 35 corresponds to the inclined surface of the connecting element 30.
  • the inclined surface may have a plurality of boreholes for connecting the frame to the seating surface 20 to provide a threaded connection of the connecting element 30 to the seating surface 20.
  • the stable surface 35 together with the recess or recess 50 allows a particularly simple yet secure connection of the seat surface 20 with the frame 10.
  • a force is applied, which in the recess or Deepening 50 arranged part of the frame upper part 11 clamped against the recess or recess 50.
  • the recess 50 preferably has a recess running on the front side wall into which the frame part arranged in the recess 50 is drawn when connecting the stable surface 35 with the connecting element 30. This simultaneously prevents that the rear portion of the seat 20 can be pivoted away from the frame 11 upwards.
  • the assembly of the seat is considerably simplified, since ultimately only the stable surface 35 must be connected to the connecting element 30.
  • the recess 50 may also each extend laterally on the underside of the seat surface 20 into the front region of the seat surface 20, so that the side parts of the substantially trapezoidally shaped frame upper part can be arranged in the recess 50 preferably form-fitting manner. Thus, a displacement of the seat 20 in the lateral direction can be prevented.
  • the stable surface 35 or the connecting element 30 can provide pins which can each latch into corresponding recesses on the connecting element 30 or on the stable surface 35.
  • the seat can be connected to the frame, without the need screw or tool would be necessary.
  • the seat 20 can then be suspended with its recess 50 in the rear region of the trapezoidal frame upper part 11. Subsequently, the seat surface 20 or the arranged on the underside of the seat 20 stable surface 35 can be pressed against the connecting element 30 until the pins engage in the respective recesses.
  • a subsequent release of the seat 20 from the frame can be ensured by the fact that the stable surface 35 has a certain flexibility in order to release the pins from the corresponding recesses.
  • Fig. 4 shows a seating furniture according to the invention in a top view from the front, wherein the seat 20 is shown only schematically.
  • the distance a of the frame central parts 13a, 13b from one another in the front region of the seat surface 20 is smaller than the width A of the seat surface 20 in the front region of the seat surface 20. It is particularly advantageous if the distance a corresponds to a maximum of half the width A. It has proven to be particularly advantageous to choose the distance a between the two frame middle parts 13a, 13b in the front region of the seat surface 20 such that it is at most one third of the width A of the seat surface 20 in the front region equivalent.
  • a rocking of the seat to the left and to the right is possible, which can be effected by simple weight shift to the left or to the right.
  • the frame is designed in one piece in the embodiment shown here, wherein the frame metal, preferably steel, and wherein the frame has a round, preferably a circular profile.
  • the frame can also be designed in several parts.
  • the frame may be configured in two parts, with the right part and the left part of the frame each forming part of the two-part frame.
  • the frame can also have a durable plastic.
  • the frame may also have another suitable profile for this purpose.
  • the arranged on the frame top seat 20 may comprise plastic or wood.
  • the top of the seat 20 may also be provided with a padding.
  • the armrests 40 may have a padding.
