Hierbei ist ein Sitzpolsterelement am Möbelgestell verschwenkbar oder verschiebbar gelagert, wobei mithilfe eines Zusatzpolsterelements, das in der Sitzstellung im Möbelgestell verstaut wird, die Liegefläche vergrößert werden kann. Sitz- oder Liegemöbel der gattungsgemäßen Art verfügen über den Vorteil, dass das Sitzpolsterelement im Zuge des Umbaus in ein Liegemöbel keine raumgreifenden Schwenkbewegungen vollziehen muss, bei denen schwere Möbelteile mitunter unter großem Kraftaufwand und Verletzungsgefahr bewegt werden müssen. Stattdessen ist das Sitzpolsterelement in horizontaler Lage verbleibend bewegbar, und durchläuft somit lediglich geringe Bewegungshöhen, wobei es unter Führung der Parallelogrammlenker zunächst vom Zusatzpolsterelement angehoben, und in weiterer Folge neben das Zusatzpolsterelement abgestellt wird.Seating or reclining furniture is often designed so that it can be used in a sitting position both as seating, and are suitable in a lying position for a horizontal use. Here, a seat cushion element on the furniture frame is pivotally mounted or displaceable, with the help of an additional cushion element, which is stowed in the sitting position in the furniture frame, the bed can be increased. Sitting or lying furniture of the generic type have the advantage that the seat cushion element in the course of the conversion into a reclining furniture does not have to perform sweeping spatial movements in which heavy furniture parts must be moved sometimes with great effort and risk of injury.

Die DE 44 26 825 A1 beschreibt ein Sitzmöbel, welches eine Umwandlung von einer Sitz- in die Ruheposition mittels Hauptpolster und Zusatzpolster erlaubt. Die AT 402 364 B beschreibt ein Sitz- und Liegemöbel mit ausfahrbarem Wagen als Sitzpolster, wobei der Sitzpolster entlang einer Führung gezogen wird. Die AT 007 969 U1 beschreibt ein Sitz- bzw. Liegemöbel mit Rückenlehne, Kopfteil, Polster und Sitzpolster ausfahrbar zu einer Liegefläche. Die DE 87 13 643 beschreibt ein in ein Bett verwandelbares Sitzmöbel, wobei mehrere Polsterelemente entlang von Führungsschienen ausgezogen werden. Die DE 81 25 948 beschreibt ein in ein Bett umwandelbares Sofa mit am Boden fahrbarem Gestell-Rahmen, an welchem Gestell- Rahmen Polsterelemente befestigt sind. Die EP 0 504 129 A1 beschreibt ein Sitz- oder Liegemöbel mit Kopfteil, Polster, und Sitzpolster, die zu einem Liegemöbel ausziehbar und mit rollbaren Streben am Boden abgestützt sind.The DE 44 26 825 A1 describes a chair, which allows a conversion from a sitting to the rest position by means of the main cushion and additional cushion. The AT 402 364 B describes a seat and reclining furniture with extendable carriage as a seat cushion, wherein the seat cushion is pulled along a guide. The AT 007 969 U1 describes a sitting or lying furniture with backrest, headboard, upholstery and seat cushion extendable to a Lying area. The DE 87 13 643 describes a convertible into a bed chair, wherein a plurality of cushion elements are pulled out along guide rails. The DE 81 25 948 describes a convertible into a bed sofa with mobile on the floor frame frame, which frame frame upholstered elements are attached. The EP 0 504 129 A1 describes a sitting or lying furniture with headboard, upholstery, and seat cushions, which are extendable to a reclining furniture and supported with rollable struts on the ground.

In der DE 295 10 808 U1 wird ein Sitz- oder Liegemöbel beschrieben, bei dem ein Rückenpolster an einem Sitzgestell befestigt ist und auch während des Umbaus in unbewegter und aufrechter Stellung am Sitzgestell verbleibt. Um das beschriebene Möbel in eine Liegestellung umzubauen, ist ein ausziehbarer Wagen vorgesehen. Über diesen Wagen wird ein Sitzpolster so weit horizontal bewegt, bis er umgeschwenkt werden kann.In the DE 295 10 808 U1 a seat or reclining furniture is described in which a back cushion is attached to a seat frame and remains during the conversion in a stationary and upright position on the seat frame. To convert the furniture described in a reclining position, an extendable car is provided. About this car, a seat cushion is moved so far horizontally until it can be swung around.

In der EP 1 989 972 A1 wird ein Sitz- oder Liegemöbel beschrieben, bei dem eine Rückenlehne abnehmbar von einem Möbelgestell ausgeführt ist, also nicht am Möbelgestell befestigt ist. Stattdessen wird es im Zuge des Umbaus von der Sitzstellung in die Liegestellung gemeinsam mit dem Sitzpolster und einem Zusatzpolster mitbewegt. Daher kann der Sitzpolster beim beschriebenen Möbel ohne anfängliches, horizontales Verschieben verschwenkt werden, obwohl die Rückenlehne den Sitzpolster in der Sitzstellung teilweise überdeckt, denn er wird einfach gemeinsam mit dem Sitzpolster angehoben.In the EP 1 989 972 A1 a seat or reclining furniture is described in which a backrest is designed to be removable from a furniture frame, that is not attached to the furniture frame. Instead, it is moved along with the seat cushion and an additional cushion in the course of the conversion of the sitting position in the lying position. Therefore, the seat cushion can be pivoted in the described furniture without initial, horizontal displacement, although the backrest partially covers the seat cushion in the sitting position, because it is simply lifted together with the seat cushion.

Bei solchen, gattungsgemäßen Sitz- oder Liegemöbel ist zumeist vorgesehen, dass der Rückenpolster am Möbelgestell nicht befestigt ist, sondern in das Möbelgestell eingelegt wird, sodass er vor dem Ausklappen des Sitzpolsterelements in die Liegestellung abgenommen werden kann. In weiterer Folge kann das Sitzpolsterelement angehoben werden. Falls der Rückenpolster am Möbelgestell befestigt ist, ohne abgenommen werden zu können, muss das Sitzpolsterelement in der Sitzstellung neben dem Rückenpolster zu liegen kommen, um beim Ausklappen in die Liegestellung entsprechend angehoben werden zu können. Da in der Liegestellung aber eine ausreichend große Liegefläche bereit gestellt werden muss, muss das Sitzpolsterelement entsprechend breit ausgeführt sein, wodurch sich in der Sitzstellung eine breite Sitzfläche ergibt, die das angenehme Sitzen beeinträchtigt.In such, generic seating or reclining furniture is usually provided that the back cushion is not attached to the furniture frame, but is inserted into the furniture frame, so that it can be removed before unfolding the seat cushion element in the reclining position. As a result, the seat cushion element can be raised. If the back cushion is attached to the furniture frame, without being able to be removed, the seat cushion element must come to rest in the sitting position next to the back cushion, to be able to be raised accordingly when unfolding in the lying position. As in the lying position but a sufficiently large mattress are provided must, the seat cushion element must be made correspondingly wide, resulting in the sitting position, a wide seating surface that affects the comfortable sitting.

Es ist somit das Ziel der Erfindung diese Nachteile zu vermeiden und ein Sitz- oder Liegemöbel der gattungsgemäßen Art so weiterzubilden, dass in der Sitzstellung die Sitzfläche entsprechend verkürzt wird, um ein angenehmes Sitzen zu ermöglichen, in der Liegestellung aber dennoch eine ausreichende Liegefläche zur Verfügung steht.It is thus the object of the invention to avoid these disadvantages and to develop a sitting or reclining furniture of the generic type so that in the sitting position, the seat is shortened accordingly to allow a comfortable sitting, but still a sufficient reclining area available in the lying position stands.

Diese Ziele werden durch die Merkmale von Anspruch 1 erreicht. Anspruch 1 bezieht sich hierbei auf ein Sitz- oder Liegemöbel mit einem Sitzpolsterelement, einem Zusatzpolsterelement, sowie einem Rückenpolster, wobei das Sitzpolsterelement mithilfe von Parallelogrammlenker von einer Sitzstellung, in der das Sitzpolsterelement über dem Zusatzpolsterelement ruht, in eine Liegestellung, in der das Sitzpolsterelement neben dem Zusatzpolsterelement angeordnet ist, in annähernd horizontaler Lage verbleibend bewegbar ist, und die Parallelogrammlenker an ihren ersten Enden am Sitzpolsterelement angelenkt sind, und an ihren zweiten Enden am Möbelgestell angelenkt sind, sowie der Rückenpolster am Möbelgestell befestigt ist. Erfindungsgemäß ist hierfür vorgesehen, dass das Sitzpolsterelement gemeinsam mit dem Zusatzpolsterelement in deren Sitzstellung am Möbelgestell mithilfe eines entsprechenden Beschlages von einer Position, in der das Sitzpolsterelement vom Rückenpolster teilweise überdeckt wird, in eine Position, in der das Sitzpolsterelement in vertikaler Richtung bewegbar ist, entlang eines Bewegungsweges, der der vom Rückenpolster überdeckten Breite des Sitzpolsterelements im Wesentlichen entspricht, horizontal verschiebbar gelagert sind, indem die zweiten Enden der Parallelogrammlenker an einer Gleitleiste angelenkt sind, die in einer Schiene des Möbelgestells horizontal verschiebbar gelagert ist.These objects are achieved by the features of claim 1. Claim 1 refers to a seat or reclining furniture with a seat cushion element, an additional cushioning element, and a back cushion, wherein the seat cushion element by means of parallelogram from a sitting position in which the seat cushion element rests on the additional cushion element, in a reclining position in which the seat cushion element next the additional cushioning element is arranged, remaining movable in approximately horizontal position, and the parallelogram are articulated at their first ends on the seat cushion element, and are articulated at their second ends on the furniture frame, and the back cushion is attached to the furniture frame. According to the invention, it is provided for this purpose that the seat cushion element together with the additional cushion element in its sitting position on the furniture frame by means of a corresponding fitting from a position in which the seat cushion element is partially covered by the back pad in a position in which the seat cushion element is movable in the vertical direction, along a movement path which substantially corresponds to the covered by the back cushion width of the seat cushion element, are mounted horizontally displaceable by the second ends of the parallelogram are hinged to a slide bar, which is mounted horizontally displaceable in a rail of the furniture frame.

Erfindungsgemäß ist somit vorgesehen, dass der Rückenpolster am Möbelgestell befestigt ist, und im Zuge der Umwandlung von einem Sitzmöbel in ein Liegemöbel auch nicht entfernt, oder über eine zusätzliche Mechanik bewegt werden muss. In der Sitzstellung wird die Sitzfläche des Weiteren verkürzt, indem das Sitzpolsterelement unter den Rückenpolster tritt, und somit vom Rückenpolster teilweise überdeckt wird. Um dennoch ein Anheben des Sitzpolsterelements zu ermöglichen, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass das Sitzpolsterelement gemeinsam mit dem Zusatzpolsterelement in deren Sitzstellung horizontal verschiebbar gelagert ist, und zwar entlang eines Bewegungsweges, der der überdeckten Breite des Sitzpolsterelements im Wesentlichen entspricht. Dadurch wird der notwendige Bewegungsweg so kurz wie möglich gehalten, da erfindungsgemäß das Sitzpolsterelement gemeinsam mit dem Zusatzpolsterelement verschoben wird, wodurch in dieser Umbauphase das gemeinsame Gewicht des Sitz- und Zusatzpolsterelements bewegt werden muss. Anschließend kann mithilfe der Parallelogrammlenker das Sitzpolsterelement angehoben und neben dem Zusatzpolsterelement abgestellt werden, sodass das Zusatzpolsterelement zwischen dem Rückenpolster und dem Sitzpolsterelement zu liegen kommt, wo es mit dem Sitzpolsterelement eine Liegefläche bildet.According to the invention it is thus provided that the back cushion is attached to the furniture frame, and in the course of the conversion of a chair into a reclining furniture also not removed, or must be moved by an additional mechanism. In the sitting position becomes Further, the seat surface is shortened by the seat cushion element under the back pad, and thus partially covered by the back pad. In order to still allow lifting of the seat cushion element, the invention provides that the seat cushion element is mounted horizontally displaceable together with the additional cushion element in their sitting position, along a path of movement that corresponds to the covered width of the seat cushion element substantially. As a result, the necessary movement path is kept as short as possible, since according to the invention the seat cushion element is moved together with the additional cushion element, whereby the common weight of the seat cushion and additional cushion element has to be moved during this conversion phase. Subsequently, with the help of the parallelogram link, the seat cushion element can be raised and parked next to the additional cushion element, so that the additional cushion element comes to rest between the back cushion and the seat cushion element, where it forms a lying surface with the seat cushion element.

Die Verschiebbarkeit des Sitz- und Zusatzpolsterelements wird erfindungsgemäß erreicht, indem die zweiten Enden der Parallelogrammlenker an einer Gleitleiste angelenkt sind, die in einer Schiene des Möbelgestells horizontal verschiebbar gelagert ist. Die Verschiebbarkeit wird somit über einen entsprechenden Beschlag und dessen Lagerung am Möbelgestell sichergestellt, aber nicht durch einen ausziehbaren Wagen oder Rahmenteil. Auf diese Weise wird eine einfache Realisierung der Verschiebbarkeit erreicht.The displaceability of the seat and additional cushion element is inventively achieved by the second ends of the parallelogram are hinged to a slide bar, which is mounted horizontally displaceable in a rail of the furniture frame. The displaceability is thus ensured by a corresponding fitting and its storage on the furniture frame, but not by an extendable car or frame part. In this way, a simple realization of the displacement is achieved.

Um gemeinsam mit dem Sitzpolsterelement auch das Zusatzpolsterelement zu bewegen, wird vorgeschlagen, dass das Zusatzpolsterelement an Querarmen der Parallelogrammlenker angelenkt ist. Diese Umsetzung bietet auch den Vorteil, dass bei einer Schwenkbewegung der Parallelogrammlenker das Zusatzpolsterelement angehoben wird. Dadurch kann es etwa in der Liegestellung dicht neben dem Rückenpolster zu liegen kommen, sodass in der Liegestellung ein Freiraum zwischen Rückenpolster und Zusatzpolsterelement vermieden wird. Durch geeignete Ausführung der Parallelogrammlenker, sowie deren Anlenkung am Zusatzpolsterelement und am Sitzpolsterelement kann des Weiteren erreicht werden, dass das Zusatz- und Sitzpolsterelement in deren Sitzstellung leicht in Richtung des Rückenpolsters geneigt sind, wodurch ein angenehmeres Sitzen ermöglicht wird, ohne dass die sitzende Person von der Sitzfläche rutscht. Erst im Zuge der Ausklappbewegung werden Sitz- und Zusatzpolsterelement in eine horizontale Lage verschwenkt, um eine horizontale Liegefläche zu verwirklichen.In order to move together with the seat cushion element and the additional cushion element, it is proposed that the additional cushion element is articulated on transverse arms of the parallelogram. This implementation also offers the advantage that the additional cushioning element is raised during a pivoting movement of the parallelogram link. As a result, it can come to lie close to the back pad, for example in the lying position, so that in the lying position, a free space between back pad and additional cushion element is avoided. By suitable design of the parallelogram, as well as their articulation on the additional cushioning element and the seat cushion element may further be achieved that the additional and seat cushion element are inclined slightly in the sitting position in the direction of the back pad, whereby a more comfortable sitting is made possible without the seated person from slipping from the seat. Only in the course of the deployment movement seat and additional cushion element are pivoted in a horizontal position to realize a horizontal bed surface.

Da bei einer solchen Ausführungsform das Zusatzpolsterelement lediglich über die Parallelogrammlenker bewegt wird, kann zur besseren Führung des Zusatzpolsterelements vorgesehen sein, dass die Gleitleiste einen Mitnehmer aufweist, der in der Sitzstellung in einen Beschlag des Zusatzpolsterelements eingreift. Bei dem Beschlag kann es sich etwa um jenen Befestigungsteil handeln, an dem auch die Querarme der Parallelogrammlenker angelenkt sind, und der im Folgenden auch als Zusatzelementbeschlag bezeichnet wird.Since, in such an embodiment, the additional cushioning element is merely moved over the parallelogram links, it can be provided for better guidance of the additional cushioning element that the sliding strip has a driver which engages in a fitting of the additional cushioning element in the sitting position. The fitting may be, for example, those fastening part on which the transverse arms of the parallelogram links are also articulated, and which is also referred to below as additional element fitting.

Am Möbelgestell 4 ist des Weiteren eine Schiene 5 vorgesehen, in der eine Gleitleiste 6 horizontal verschiebbar gelagert ist. Hier und im Folgenden wird stets auf eine Seite des Sitz- oder Liegemöbels Bezug genommen, es versteht sich jedoch von selbst, dass die erläuterte Anordnung auf beiden Seitenteilen des Sitz- oder Liegemöbels vorgesehen ist.First, on the Fig. 1 Reference is made, which shows a seating or reclining furniture according to the invention with a seat cushion element 1, an additional cushion element 2, and a back cushion 3. The back pad 3 is attached to the furniture frame 4 and must not be removed in the course of the conversion of the sitting in the lying position. At the Furniture frame 4, a rail 5 is further provided, in which a slide bar 6 is mounted horizontally displaceable. Here and below, reference is always made to one side of the sitting or lying furniture, but it goes without saying that the illustrated arrangement is provided on both sides of the seat or deck furniture.

Das Sitzpolsterelement 1 ist mit dem Möbelgestell 4 über Parallelogrammlenker 7 schwenkbar verbunden, wobei die Parallelogrammlenker 7 an ihren ersten Enden am Sitzpolsterelement 1 angelenkt sind, etwa über einen Sitzelementbeschlag 8, und an ihren zweiten Enden an der Gleitleiste 6. Das Sitzpolsterelement 1 kann des Weiteren mit Rollen 9 versehen sein.The seat cushion element 1 is pivotally connected to the furniture frame 4 via parallelogram 7, wherein the Parallelogrammlenker 7 are hinged at their first ends on the seat cushion element 1, such as a seat element fitting 8, and at its second ends on the slide bar 6. The seat cushion element 1 further be provided with rollers 9.

Das Zusatzpolsterelement 2 ist an Querarmen 10 der Parallelogrammlenker 7 angelenkt, etwa über einen Zusatzelementbeschlag 11. Einer der Querarme 10 kann dabei T-förmig ausgeführt sein, und in einem ersten Endbereich am Zusatzelementbeschlag 11 angelenkt sein, und in seinem zweiten Endbereich über einen Anschlag 12 verfügen, der in der Liegestellung am Zusatzelementbeschlag 11 anliegt, und den entsprechenden Parallelogrammlenker 7 somit am Zusatzelementbeschlag 11 abstützt.The additional cushioning element 2 is articulated to transverse arms 10 of the parallelogram 7, about an additional element fitting 11. One of the transverse arms 10 may be T-shaped, and hinged in a first end portion of the additional element fitting 11, and in its second end region via a stop 12th have, which rests in the lying position on the additional element fitting 11, and the corresponding parallelogram 7 is thus supported on the additional element fitting 11.

Des Weiteren ist ersichtlich, dass die Gleitleiste 6 einen Mitnehmer 13 aufweist, der in der Sitzstellung in eine Einkerbung des Zusatzelementbeschlages 11 eingreift. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Mitnehmer 13 an einem Ausleger 14 der Gleitleiste 6 angeordnet. Die Funktion des Mitnehmers 13 wird an anderer Stelle erläutert werden.Furthermore, it can be seen that the sliding strip 6 has a driver 13 which engages in the sitting position in a notch of the additional element fitting 11. In the illustrated embodiment, the driver 13 is arranged on a boom 14 of the slide bar 6. The function of the driver 13 will be explained elsewhere.

In weiterer Folge wird der Umbauvorgang von der Liegestellung in die Sitzstellung beschrieben, wobei zunächst das Sitzpolsterelement 1 von einer Bedienperson angehoben wird. Die Fig. 2 zeigt etwa eine erste Zwischenstellung, bei der das Sitzpolsterelement 1 die höchste Position erreicht hat. Aufgrund der Führung durch die Parallelogrammlenker 7 verbleibt das Sitzpolsterelement 1 jedoch stets in horizontaler Lage, wodurch große vertikale Bewegungswege vermieden werden. Da des Weiteren das Zusatzpolsterelement 2 an Querarmen 10 der Parallelogrammlenker 7 angelenkt ist, wird es im Zuge des Bewegungsvorganges von der Liegestellung in die erste Zwischenstellung gemäß der Fig. 2 abgesenkt, wobei es bereits leicht in Richtung des Rückenpolsters 3 geneigt ist.Subsequently, the conversion process is described by the reclining position in the sitting position, first the seat cushion element 1 is raised by an operator. The Fig. 2 shows approximately a first intermediate position in which the seat cushion element 1 has reached the highest position. Due to the leadership of the parallelogram 7 However, the seat cushion element 1 always remains in a horizontal position, whereby large vertical paths of movement are avoided. Furthermore, since the additional cushioning element 2 is articulated to transverse arms 10 of the parallelogram 7, it is in the course of the movement process of the reclining position in the first intermediate position according to the Fig. 2 lowered, it is already inclined slightly towards the back pad 3.

Im Zuge des weiteren Bewegungsweges wird schließlich eine zweite Zwischenstellung erreicht, die in der Fig. 3 dargestellt ist. Das Sitzpolsterelement 1 wurde hierbei wieder abgesenkt, wobei es eine Höhe eingenommen hat, in der die Sitzfläche geringfügig unterhalb der unteren Kante des Rückenpolsters 3 zu liegen kommt, und oberhalb des Zusatzpolsterelements 2 ruht. Das Zusatzpolsterelement 2 wurde weiter abgesenkt, und aufgrund der Führung durch die Querarme 10 geringfügig vom Rückenpolster 3 weg bewegt, wobei der Mitnehmer 13 der Gleitleiste 6 in Eingriff mit der Einkerbung am Zusatzelementbeschlag 11 gerät. Eine Abschrägung der Einkerbung erleichtert hierbei den Eintritt des Mitnehmers 13 in die Einkerbung, und ermöglicht eine zusätzliche Schrägstellung des Zusatzpolsterelements 2 und des Sitzpolsterelements 1, sodass sie nun beide leicht in Richtung des Rückenpolsters 3 geneigt sind.In the course of the further movement path finally a second intermediate position is reached, which in the Fig. 3 is shown. In this case, the seat cushion element 1 has been lowered again, wherein it has assumed a height in which the seat surface comes to rest slightly below the lower edge of the back cushion 3 and rests above the additional cushion element 2. The additional cushioning element 2 has been further lowered, and due to the guide by the transverse arms 10 is slightly moved away from the back pad 3, the driver 13 of the slide bar 6 in engagement with the notch on the additional element fitting 11 device. A chamfer of the notch here facilitates the entry of the driver 13 in the notch, and allows an additional inclination of the additional cushion element 2 and the seat cushion element 1, so that they are now both slightly inclined in the direction of the back pad 3.

Das Sitzpolsterelement 1 kann nun mithilfe der, in der Schiene 5 geführten Gleitleiste 6 gemeinsam mit dem Zusatzpolsterelement 2 in Richtung des Rückenpolsters 3 horizontal verschoben werden, wobei das Sitzpolsterelement 1 unter den Rückenpolster 3 tritt, und etwa auch in einen Freiraum des Möbelgestells 4 eingeschoben werden kann. Die Sitzfläche wird somit vom Rückenpolster 3 teilweise überdeckt, und dadurch in seiner Breite verkürzt. Der horizontale Bewegungsweg entspricht dabei etwa der überdeckten Breite des Sitzpolsterelements 1. Diese Einschiebbewegung wird in der Regel durch Krafteinwirkung auf das Sitzpolsterelement 1 bewirkt, wobei über die Parallelogrammlenker 7 die Gleitleiste 6 innerhalb der Schiene 5 verschoben wird. Über den Mitnehmer 13 wird dabei die Einschubbewegung auch auf das Zusatzpolsterelement 2 übertragen. Zwar wird die Einschubbewegung auch über die Querarme 10 auf das Zusatzpolsterelement 2 übertragen, die jedoch in der gezeigten Ausführungsform schiebend auf die Schwenkverbindung zum Zusatzelementbeschlag 11 wirken. Mithilfe des Mitnehmers 13 wird somit eine sichere Mitnahme des Zusatzpolsterelements 2 bewirkt. In entgegen gesetzter Bewegungsrichtung wirken die Querarme 10 jedoch ziehend auf die Schwenkverbindung zum Zusatzelementbeschlag 11, sodass über den Mitnehmer 13 die Gleitleiste 6 mitbewegt wird, und eine sichere Mitnahme des Sitzpolsterelements 1 bewerkstelligt wird.The seat cushion element 1 can now be moved horizontally together with the additional cushion element 2 in the direction of the back cushion 3 by means of guided in the rail 5 slide bar, wherein the seat cushion element 1 occurs under the back pad 3, and about to be inserted into a free space of the furniture frame 4 can. The seat is thus partially covered by the back pad 3, and thereby shortened in width. In this case, the horizontal movement path corresponds approximately to the covered width of the seat cushion element 1. This insertion movement is generally effected by the action of force on the seat cushion element 1, the slide rail 6 being displaced within the rail 5 via the parallelogram links 7. About the driver 13 while the insertion movement is transmitted to the additional cushion element 2. Although the insertion movement is also transmitted via the transverse arms 10 to the additional cushion element 2, which act in the embodiment shown, however, sliding on the pivot connection to the additional element fitting 11. By means of the driver 13 thus a safe entrainment of the additional cushion element 2 is effected. In the opposite direction of movement, however, the transverse arms 10 act pulling on the pivotal connection to the additional element fitting 11, so that the slide bar 6 is moved over the driver 13, and a safe entrainment of the seat cushion element 1 is accomplished.

Mithilfe der Erfindung wird somit ein Sitz- oder Liegemöbel verwirklicht, bei dem in der Sitzstellung die Sitzfläche entsprechend verkürzt wird, um ein angenehmes Sitzen zu ermöglichen, und in der Liegestellung dennoch eine ausreichende Liegefläche bereitgestellt wird.By means of the invention, a seat or reclining furniture is thus realized in which the seating area is correspondingly shortened in the sitting position in order to allow a comfortable sitting, and nevertheless a sufficient lying surface is provided in the reclining position.
