Description

Die Erfindung betrifft Sitzmöbel mit einer Mehrzahl von benachbart zueinander angeordneten Formkörpern, welche mit einer freien Stirnseite derselben eine Sitzfläche bilden, mit einem elastischen Mittel zum Stützen der Formkörper, wobei die Formkörper unter Verformung des Stützmittels gegen eine Rückstellkraft in eine Betätigungsrichtung beweglich gehalten sind, mit einer Auflage für das Stützmittel und mit einem Führungsmittel für die Formkörper.The invention relates to seating with a plurality of mutually adjacent moldings, which form a seat with a free end side thereof, with an elastic means for supporting the moldings, wherein the moldings are movably held under deformation of the support means against a restoring force in an actuating direction, with a support for the support means and with a guide means for the moldings.

Sitzmöbel mit einer nachgiebig gestalteten Sitzfläche, welche aus einer Mehrzahl von in ihre Längsrichtung verschiebbar gehaltenen Formkörpern gebildet ist, sind beispielsweise bekannt aus der DE 20 2004 014 415 U1 , der DE 20 2008 002 132 U1 und der DE 20 2010 006 638 U1 . Jeweils ist die Mehrzahl von langgestreckten, rechteckigen Quadern schachbrettartig zu einer ebenen Sitzfläche zusammengestellt. Auf einer der Sitzfläche abgewandten Außenseite stützen sich die Quader lose auf einem nachgiebigen Kissen ab. Sobald sich eine Person auf die Sitzfläche setzt, verformt sich infolge der Gewichtskraft das Kissen. Ähnlich wie bei einem Polstersitzmöbel passt sich hierdurch die Sitzfläche der Anatomie des Benutzers an. Grundsätzlich sind die bekannten Sitzmöbel mit den auf dem elastischen Kissen nachgiebig gelagerten Formkörpern vergleichsweise aufwendig in der Herstellung, teuer und schwer zu reinigen. Insbesondere stützen sich die Formkörper an einem seitlichen Führungsmittel beziehungsweise an den jeweils benachbarten Formkörpern ab. Aus diesem Grund sind die Seitenflächen der Formkörper langgestreckt gebildet. Hierdurch bedingt ist der Materialeinsatz vergleichsweise hoch. Überdies ist die Montage aufwendig, weil die Formkörper einzeln und im engen Abstand zueinander auf dem Kissen positioniert werden müssen. Die lose auf dem Kissen aufstehenden Formkörper können darüber hinaus beim Transport oder der Reinigung hinausfallen.Seating furniture with a resiliently shaped seat, which is formed from a plurality of slidably held in their longitudinal direction moldings, for example, are known from the DE 20 2004 014 415 U1 , of the DE 20 2008 002 132 U1 and the DE 20 2010 006 638 U1 , In each case, the plurality of elongated, rectangular blocks are arranged like a checkerboard to a flat seat. On a side facing away from the seat, the blocks are loosely supported on a resilient pillow. As soon as a person sits down on the seat, the pillow deforms as a result of the weight. Similar to a upholstered seating furniture thereby adapts to the seat of the user's anatomy. Basically, the known seating furniture with the resiliently mounted on the flexible cushion moldings are comparatively costly to manufacture, expensive and difficult to clean. In particular, the shaped bodies are supported on a lateral guide means or on the respectively adjacent shaped bodies. For this reason, the side surfaces of the moldings are formed elongated. As a result, the use of materials is comparatively high. Moreover, the assembly is complicated because the moldings must be positioned individually and in close proximity to each other on the cushion. The loose on the pillow upstanding moldings can also fall out during transport or cleaning.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es demzufolge, ein erfindungsgemäßes Sitzmöbel derart weiterzubilden, sodass dieses kostengünstig hergestellt und einfach zu handhaben ist.Object of the present invention is therefore to develop a seating furniture according to the invention so that it is inexpensive and easy to handle.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist die Erfindung in Verbindung mit dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass wenigstens einzelne Formkörper miteinander verbunden sind.To achieve the object, the invention in conjunction with the preamble of claim 1, characterized in that at least individual molded bodies are interconnected.

Der besondere Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass wenigstens einzelne, für sich gesehen starre beziehungsweise formstabile Formkörper aufgrund ihrer Verbindung untereinander eine Einheit bildet, welche gemeinsam montiert beziehungsweise demontiert werden kann. Es bedarf insofern nicht der wechselseitigen Führung und Stützung durch die benachbarten Formkörper. Die Formkörper können daher flach statt langgestreckt ausgeführt und aufgrund des geringeren Materialaufwands kostengünstig gefertigt werden. Zudem vereinfacht sich die Montage, da die zu der Einheit verbundenen Formkörper in einem einzigen Arbeitsgang montiert werden können.The particular advantage of the invention is that at least individual, inherently rigid or dimensionally stable shaped body forms a unit with each other due to their connection, which can be assembled or disassembled together. It does not require the mutual guidance and support by the adjacent moldings. The moldings can therefore be made flat instead of elongated and manufactured inexpensively due to the lower cost of materials. In addition, the assembly is simplified because the molded body connected to the unit can be mounted in a single operation.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Formkörper durch ein Verbindungsmittel miteinander verbunden. Vorzugsweise ist das Verbindungsmittel als elastisch verformbares Verbindungsmittel ausgebildet. Vorteilhaft bleibt die Bewegbarkeit der Formkörper in die Betätigungsrichtung beim Vorsehen des elastisch verformbaren Verbindungsmittels erhalten. Die Sitzfläche kann sich unverändert der Anatomie des Benutzers anpassen, ohne dass der Sitzkomfort wahrnehmbar beeinträchtigt wird. Beispielsweise kann das nachgiebige Stützmittel zugleich das elastisch verformbare Verbindungsmittel für die Formkörper bilden. In diesem Fall kann auf ein zusätzliches Bauteil verzichtet werden, sodass das Sitzmöbel besonders kostengünstig hergestellt werden kann. Beispielsweise kann ein dünner, elastischer Flachkörper mit zwei im Wesentlichen parallel erstreckten Flachseiten als Verbindungsmittel vorgesehen werden. Im montierten Zustand ist eine erste Flachseite des Flachkörpers an das Stützmittel angelehnt, wohingegen die Formkörper an einer zweiten Flachseite des Flachkörpers anliegen.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the shaped bodies are connected to one another by a connecting means. Preferably, the connecting means is designed as elastically deformable connecting means. Advantageously, the mobility of the molded body remains in the operating direction when providing the elastically deformable connecting means. The seat can be adjusted to the anatomy of the user without affecting the comfort of the seat. For example, the resilient support means can also form the elastically deformable connection means for the moldings. In this case, can be dispensed with an additional component, so that the seating can be made particularly inexpensive. For example, a thin, elastic flat body with two substantially parallel flat sides can be provided as connecting means. In the assembled state, a first flat side of the flat body is ajar against the support means, whereas the shaped bodies bear against a second flat side of the flat body.

Durch das Vorsehen des Verbindungsmittels wird ein in sich beweglicher Teppich von Formkörpern gebildet, welcher individuell bemessen und in großen Stückzahlen beziehungsweise Abmessungen wirtschaftlich hergestellt werden kann. Beispielsweise kann der Teppich auf einen Stuhl, einen Hocker oder eine Bank aufgelegt werden. Darüber hinaus kann der elastische Teppich auch entlang einer gebogenen Fläche, beispielsweise entlang der Anlagefläche einer Wellnessliege ausgebreitet werden.By providing the connecting means, a movable carpet of moldings is formed, which can be individually dimensioned and produced economically in large quantities or dimensions. For example, the carpet can be placed on a chair, a stool or a bench. In addition, the elastic carpet can also be spread along a curved surface, for example along the contact surface of a wellness lounger.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Formkörper an dem elastischen Verbindungsmittel festgelegt. Beispielsweise kann an dem Formkörper eine Durchgangsbohrung vorgesehen sein und ein Seil als Verbindungsmittel durch die Durchgangsbohrungen benachbarter Körper geführt werden. Beispielsweise kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Formkörper an einer der Sitzfläche gegenüberliegenden Außenseite derselben an dem elastischen Verbindungsmittel festgelegt sind. Beispielsweise können Sie mit der Außenfläche an dem Verbindungsmittel verklebt sein. Insofern ergibt sich eine nicht lösbare Verbindung der einzelnen Formkörper mit dem elastisch verformbaren Verbindungsmittel. Die durch die Formkörper und das Verbindungsmittel gebildete Einheit kann beispielsweise ähnlich wie ein Stuhlkissen entnommen und separat gereinigt werden.According to a development of the invention, the shaped bodies are fixed to the elastic connecting means. For example, can be provided on the molded body, a through hole and a rope as a connecting means are passed through the through holes of adjacent body. For example, it may be provided that the molded bodies are fixed to the elastic connecting means on an outer side thereof opposite the seat surface. For example, you may be glued to the outer surface of the connecting means. In this respect, a non-detachable connection of the individual molded body with the elastically deformable connecting means results. For example, the unit formed by the moldings and the connecting means may be removed similar to a chair cushion and cleaned separately.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung werden die Formkörper aus Holz, insbesondere aus Massivholz hergestellt. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine besonders hochwertige Optik. Überdies kann ein Sitzmöbel komplett in Holzoptik hergestellt werden, wenn auch die anderen Bestandteile des Möbels, beispielsweise das Führungsmittel für die Formkörper, eine Sitzlehne beziehungsweise an dem Sitzmöbel vorgesehene Füße in Holz ausgeführt werden. Alternativ können die Formkörper beispielsweise aus Kunststoff oder einem Verbundwerkstoff gefertigt sein.According to a development of the invention, the moldings are made of wood, in particular solid wood. This results in a particularly high quality appearance. Moreover, a chair can be made entirely in wood look, although the other components of the furniture, for example, the guide means for the moldings, a seat back or provided on the seating feet are made in wood. Alternatively, the moldings may be made of plastic or a composite material, for example.

Die Formkörper weisen bevorzugt eine quaderförmige Struktur und insbesondere einen quadratischen Querschnitt auf. Eine Querschnittskantenlänge des Formkörpers liegt vorzugsweise zwischen 2 cm und 4 cm und besonders bevorzugt zwischen 2,5 cm und 3,5 cm. Die Tiefe des Formkörpers ist beispielsweise geringer als eine Kantenlänge des Formkörpers. Untersuchungen haben insofern gezeigt, dass eine Tiefe von weniger als 2 cm gleichwohl dazu führt, dass eine in sich stabile und zugleich nachgiebige Sitzfläche mit vorteilhaften Sitzeigenschaften bereitgestellt wird. Insofern sind die Formkörper nicht als in die Betätigungsrichtung langgestreckte Formkörper ausgebildet. Vielmehr ergibt sich eine hohe Materialersparnis, wenn eine Tiefe der Formkörper in die Betätigungsrichtung geringer ist als eine Außenabmessung der Formkörper, welche senkrecht zu der Betätigungsrichtung bestimmt wird.The shaped bodies preferably have a cuboid structure and in particular a square cross section. A cross-sectional edge length of the shaped body is preferably between 2 cm and 4 cm, and more preferably between 2.5 cm and 3.5 cm. The depth of the shaped body is smaller, for example, than an edge length of the shaped body. Investigations have shown that a depth of less than 2 cm nonetheless results in a stable and at the same time compliant seat surface with advantageous seating properties being provided. In this respect, the shaped bodies are not designed as elongate shaped bodies in the direction of actuation. Rather, results in a high material savings when a depth of the molded body in the operating direction is less than an outer dimension of the molded body, which is determined perpendicular to the actuating direction.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Führungsmittel nach Art eines die Formkörper außenseitig umgebenden Rahmens ausgebildet. An dem Rahmen sind den Formkörpern zugewandte, in die Betätigungsrichtung erstreckte Führungsflächen vorgesehen. Bevorzugt weist der Rahmen eine in die Betätigungsrichtung der Formkörper bestimmte Höhe auf, welche geringer ist als ein Fünffaches und bevorzugt geringer ist als ein Dreifaches der Tiefe der Formkörper beziehungsweise einer in die Betätigungsrichtung bestimmten Dickenabmessung des Stützmittels. Vorteilhaft erhält das Sitzmöbel eine optisch ansprechende, schlanke Geometrie. Die Reduzierung der Tiefe der Formkörper führt insofern auch bei dem Führungsmittel zu einer Materialersparnis hinsichtlich seiner in die Betätigungsrichtung bestimmten Höhe. Trotz der segmentierten Ausbildung der Sitzfläche weist der Rahmen insofern eine für Sitzmöbel allgemein übliche Höhe von ca. 3 cm bis 8 cm auf, welche einem Benutzer keine Hinweise auf die elastische Beschaffenheit der Sitzfläche liefert und letztlich dazu führt, dass der Benutzer beim erstmaligen Verwenden des Sitzmöbels von der Elastizität der Sitzfläche überrascht ist.According to a development of the invention, the guide means in the manner of a mold body surrounding the outside frame is formed. On the frame are the moldings facing provided in the direction of actuation guide surfaces. The frame preferably has a height determined in the direction of actuation of the molded bodies which is less than five times and is preferably less than three times the depth of the molded bodies or a thickness dimension of the support means determined in the direction of actuation. Advantageously, the seating furniture receives a visually appealing, slim geometry. The reduction of the depth of the molded body leads so far in the guide means to a material savings in terms of its determined in the direction of actuation height. Despite the segmented design of the seat, the frame has so far for seating commonly used height of about 3 cm to 8 cm, which provides a user no evidence of the elastic nature of the seat and ultimately leads to the user when first using the Seating furniture is surprised by the elasticity of the seat.

Ein Sitzmöbel nach den Figuren 1 und 2 umfasst als wesentliche Komponenten eine Sitzeinheit 1, eine an der Sitzeinheit 1 gehaltenen Lehne 2 und eine Mehrzahl von Füßen 3. Die Sitzeinheit 1 umfasst eine Mehrzahl von regelmäßig angeordneten, im Wesentlichen quaderförmigen, starren Formkörpern 4, ein elastisch ausgebildetes Kissen 5 als Stützmittel für die Formkörper 4, eine Auflage 6 für das Stützmittel 5 sowie einen Rahmen 7, welcher die Formkörper 4 und das Stützmittel 5 umschließt und als Führungsmittel 7 für die Formkörper 4 ausgebildet ist. Die Formkörper 4 definieren mit einer freien, dem Stützmittel 5 abgewandten Stirnseite 19 derselben eine Sitzfläche 8 des Sitzmöbels. Zudem sind die Formkörper 4 über eine Klebeschicht 9 an dem Stützmittel 5 festgelegt. Das Stützmittel 5 dient insofern zugleich als elastisch verformbares Verbindungsmittel für die Formkörper 4.A seating after the Figures 1 and 2 comprises as essential components a seat unit 1, held on the seat unit 1 backrest 2 and a plurality of feet 3. The seat unit 1 comprises a plurality of regularly arranged, substantially cuboid, rigid moldings 4, an elastically formed cushion 5 as a support means for the Shaped body 4, a support 6 for the support means 5 and a frame 7, which surrounds the shaped body 4 and the support means 5 and is formed as a guide means 7 for the molded body 4. The moldings 4 define with a free, the support means 5 facing away from end face 19 thereof a seat 8 of the chair. In addition, the shaped body 4 via an adhesive layer 9 on the support means 5 set. The support means 5 serves insofar as at the same time as an elastically deformable connection means for the moldings. 4

Indem das Stützmittel 5 nachgiebig ausgebildet ist, können die Formkörper 4 bei Verwendung des Sitzmöbels in eine quer zur Sitzfläche 8 erstreckten Betätigungsrichtung 10 bewegt werden. Bei der linearen Verschiebung in die Betätigungsrichtung 10 werden die Formkörper 4 von dem Verbindungsmittel (Kissen 5) in ihrer Position gehalten. Darüber hinaus dienen an dem Führungsmittel 7 gebildete, ebene Innenseiten als Führungsflächen für die Mehrzahl von Formkörper 4.By the support means 5 is designed to be yielding, the molded body 4 can be moved when using the chair in a direction transverse to the seat surface 8 actuating direction 10. During the linear displacement in the direction of actuation 10, the moldings 4 are held in their position by the connecting means (pad 5). In addition, flat inner sides formed on the guide means 7 serve as guide surfaces for the plurality of molded bodies 4.

Die Bewegung erfolgt unter Verformung des Stützmittels 5 gegen eine Rückstellkraft. Insofern verformt sich die Sitzfläche 8 entsprechend der Anatomie eines Benutzers, welcher sich auf die Sitzfläche 8 aufsetzt. Der Verstellweg jedes einzelnen Formkörpers 4 in die Betätigungsrichtung 10 ist insofern abhängig von der Belastung und individuell verschieden.The movement takes place under deformation of the support means 5 against a restoring force. In this respect, the seat 8 is deformed according to the anatomy of a user who sits on the seat 8. The adjustment of each mold 4 in the direction of actuation 10 is so far dependent on the load and individually different.

Zur Montage beziehungsweise Reinigung des Sitzmöbels kann das Stützmittel 5 mit den hierin festgelegten Formkörpern 4 vollständig aus dem Rahmen (Führungsmittel 7) entnommen beziehungsweise als Einheit in denselben eingesetzt werden. Stützmittel 5 und Formkörper 4 bilden insofern eine flache teppichartige elastische Struktur. Das Stützmittel 5 gibt den Formkörpern 4 eine feste Lage und Stabilität. Schmutz, welcher sich beispielsweise in zwischen den Formkörpern 4 gebildeten Freiräumen sammelt, kann in einfacher Weise entfernt werden, indem die aus dem Stützmittel 5 und den Formkörpern 4 gebildete Einheit kopfüber gewendet und gereinigt wird.For mounting or cleaning of the seat, the support means 5 with the moldings 4 defined herein completely removed from the frame (guide means 7) or used as a unit in the same. Supporting means 5 and molded body 4 form insofar a flat carpet-like elastic structure. The support means 5 gives the moldings 4 a firm position and stability. Dirt, which accumulates, for example, in free spaces formed between the moldings 4, can be removed in a simple manner by the unit formed from the support means 5 and the moldings 4 is turned upside down and cleaned.

Figur 3 zeigt einen Schnitt durch eine Sitzeinheit 1, welche analog der Sitzeinheit 1 gemäß der Figuren 1 und 2 gebildet ist. Die Sitzeinheit 1 besteht aus einer Mehrzahl von Formkörpern 4, welche an einem gemeinsamen Stützmittel 5 festgelegt sind. Das Stützmittel 5 seinerseits wird auf eine Auflage 6 gehalten. Die Formkörper 4 sind mittels der Klebeschicht 9 an dem Stützmittel 5 festgelegt. Die Klebeschicht 9 ist zur besseren Darstellbarkeit überproportional stark ausgeführt. Tatsächlich kann die Klebeschicht 9 deutlich schlanker ausgebildet sein. FIG. 3 shows a section through a seat unit 1, which analogous to the seat unit 1 according to the Figures 1 and 2 is formed. The seat unit 1 consists of a plurality of moldings 4, which are fixed to a common support means 5. The support means 5 in turn is held on a support 6. The moldings 4 are fixed by means of the adhesive layer 9 on the support means 5. The adhesive layer 9 is designed disproportionately strong for better representability. In fact, the adhesive layer 9 can be made significantly slimmer.

Gleiche Bauteile und Bauteilfunktionen sind durch gleiche Bezugszeichen gekennzeichnet.Identical components and component functions are identified by the same reference numerals.

Die Formkörper 4 sind vorliegend quaderförmig und im Querschnitt quadratisch ausgebildet. Eine Querschnittskantenlänge 11 der quadratischen Formkörper 4 beträgt nach diesem Ausführungsbeispiel 3 cm. Eine in die Betätigungsrichtung 10 bestimmte Tiefe 12 der Formkörper 4 beträgt zirka 1,5 cm.The moldings 4 are present cuboid and square in cross-section. A cross-sectional edge length 11 of the square shaped bodies 4 in this embodiment is 3 cm. A certain depth in the direction of actuation 10 12 of the shaped body 4 is approximately 1.5 cm.

Beispielsweise können die Formkörper 4 statt der gezeigten quadratischen Querschnittgeometrie als rechteckige Formkörper 4 ausgebildet sein. Die Formkörper 4 können darüber hinaus jede beliebige dreieckige, viereckige, fünfeckige, sechseckige oder achteckige Querschnittsgeometrie aufweisen beziehungsweise rund oder oval realisiert sein. Es können überdies Formkörper 4 unterschiedlicher Geometrie mosaikartig zu einer Sitzfläche 8 zusammengefügt werden.For example, instead of the shown square cross-sectional geometry, the shaped bodies 4 may be formed as rectangular shaped bodies 4. In addition, the shaped bodies 4 can have any desired triangular, quadrangular, pentagonal, hexagonal or octagonal cross-sectional geometry or be realized round or oval. In addition, shaped bodies 4 of different geometry can be joined together like a mosaic to form a seat surface 8.

Die Formkörper 4 werden bevorzugt aus einem Holzwerkstoff, insbesondere aus Massivholz gefertigt. Sie können auch aus einem Kunststoff oder einem Verbundstoff hergestellt sein. Darüber hinaus eignet sich jeder Werkstoff, aus dem starre Formkörper 4 hergestellt werden können.The moldings 4 are preferably made of a wood material, in particular solid wood. They can also be made of a plastic or a composite material. In addition, any material from which rigid moldings 4 can be made.

Das Stützmittel 5, welches vorliegend als Schaumstoffkissen 5 ausgebildet ist, kann beispielsweise nach einer alternativen Ausführungsform der Erfindung durch eine Druckfeder oder nach Art eines Polsters gebildet sein. Das Sitzmöbel kann beispielsweise nach Art eines Hockers, eines Stuhls, einer Liege oder einer Bank ausgebildet sein. Optional können Armlehnen vorgesehen werden. Die Rückenlehne 2 ist ebenfalls optional.The support means 5, which in the present case is designed as a foam pad 5, can be formed, for example, according to an alternative embodiment of the invention by a compression spring or in the manner of a pad. The seating can be designed, for example, in the manner of a stool, a chair, a couch or a bench. Optionally, armrests can be provided. The backrest 2 is also optional.

Eine in die Betätigungsrichtung 10 bestimmte Dickenabmessung 13 des Stützmittels 5 entspricht vorliegend etwa dem ein- bis zweifachen der Tiefe 12 der Formkörper 4. Das Stützmittel 5 ist insofern schlank. Der als Führungsmittel 7 für die Formkörper 4 dienende Rahmen kann aufgrund der flachen Gestalt des Stützmittels 5 und der geringen Tiefe 12 der Formkörper 4 ebenfalls schmal ausgeführt sein. Beispielsweise entspricht eine Höhe 14 des rahmenförmigen Führungsmittels 7 der Sitzeinheit 1 etwa dem 1,5-fachen der Dicke 13 des Stützkissens 5.A certain in the direction of actuation 10 thickness 13 of the support means 5 corresponds in the present case about one to two times the depth 12 of the shaped body 4. The support means 5 is so slim. The serving as a guide means 7 for the moldings 4 frame can due to the flat shape of the support means 5 and the small Depth 12 of the molded body 4 also be made narrow. For example, a height 14 of the frame-shaped guide means 7 of the seat unit 1 corresponds approximately to 1.5 times the thickness 13 of the support cushion 5.

Die Formkörper 4 sind im Bereich der Klebeschicht 9 von dem rahmenförmigen Führungsmittel 7 umgeben. Vorteilhaft ragen die Formkörper 4 mit etwa einem Drittel bis zwei Drittel ihrer Länge (Tiefe 12) in den Rahmen 7, wobei sich die exakte Positionierung der Formkörper in den Rahmen 7 an der Nachgiebigkeit des Stützmittels 5 und einem Verstellweg der Formkörper 4 in die Betätigungsrichtung 10 bemisst.The shaped bodies 4 are surrounded by the frame-shaped guide means 7 in the region of the adhesive layer 9. Advantageously, the shaped bodies 4 protrude into the frame 7 with approximately one third to two thirds of their length (depth 12), the exact positioning of the shaped bodies in the frame 7 being based on the yielding of the support means 5 and a displacement of the shaped bodies 4 in the actuating direction 10 measured.

Eine alternative Ausführungsform der Erfindung gemäß der Figuren 4 und 5 sieht vor, dass die Formkörper 4 an einem elastisch ausgebildeten Flachkörper 15 festgelegt sind. Der Flachkörper 15 dient als Verbindungsmittel für die Formkörper 4. Er befindet sich in der Montagestellung gemäß Figur 4 zwischen den Formkörpern 4 und dem Stützmittel 5. Figur 5 zeigt, dass eine aus den Formkörpern 4 und dem Flachkörper 15 gebildete Einheit nach Art eines Teppichs als Ganzes auf das Stützmittel 5 aufgelegt werden kann. Das Stützmittel 5 kann insofern beispielsweise mit der Auflage 6 verbunden und an dieser gehalten werden, während der Flachkörper 15 mit einer den Formkörpern 4 abgewandten Flachseite 16 auf das Stützkissen 5 aufgelegt wird. Eine gegenüberliegende Flachseite 17 des Flachkörpers 15 dient in diesem Fall der Befestigung der Formkörper 4 mittels der Klebeschicht 9.An alternative embodiment of the invention according to the FIGS. 4 and 5 provides that the moldings 4 are fixed to an elastically formed flat body 15. The flat body 15 serves as a connecting means for the molded body 4. It is in the mounting position according to FIG. 4 between the moldings 4 and the support means. 5 FIG. 5 shows that a unit formed from the moldings 4 and the flat body 15 in the manner of a carpet as a whole can be placed on the support means 5. The support means 5 can be connected so far, for example, with the support 6 and held on this, while the flat body 15 is placed with a molded body 4 facing away from the flat side 16 on the support cushion 5. An opposite flat side 17 of the flat body 15 is used in this case, the attachment of the moldings 4 by means of the adhesive layer. 9

Die dargestellte Verklebung der Formkörper 4 mit dem Stützkissen 5 beziehungsweise dem Flachkörper 15 ist optional. Beispielsweise kann zur Festlegung der Formkörper 4 an dem Verbindungsmittel (Stützmittel 5, Flachkörper 15) mittels Heftung oder Verschraubung erfolgen. Die Festlegung kann als nicht lösbare beziehungsweise lösbare Festlegung ausgebildet sein.The illustrated bonding of the molded body 4 with the support pad 5 and the flat body 15 is optional. For example, can be done by means of stapling or screwing to fix the moldings 4 on the connecting means (support means 5, flat body 15). The determination can be designed as a non-detachable or detachable fixing.

Figur 6 zeigt exemplarisch eine Bank mit einer erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Sitzfläche 8. Die Sitzfläche 8 wird wie gehabt durch eine Mehrzahl von im Querschnitt quadratischen Formkörpern 4 gebildet. Hierbei sind die Formkörper 4 nicht zu einer rechteckigen Sitzfläche 8 gefügt. Vielmehr sind im Bereich der Füße 3 Formkörper 4 ausgespart. Insofern wird deutlich, dass die Sitzfläche 8 quasi beliebig geformt sein kann. Das Führungsmittel 7 ist überdies nicht als geschlossener Rahmen ausgebildet. Stattdessen sind vier Leisten 18, welche zwischen den Füßen 3 der Bank vorgesehen sind, zur Führung der Formkörper 4 vorgesehen. FIG. 6 shows by way of example a bench with a seat surface 8 designed according to the invention. The seat surface 8 is formed as usual by a plurality of shaped bodies 4 of square cross-section. Here, the moldings 4 are not joined to a rectangular seat 8. Rather, 3 moldings 4 are recessed in the area of the feet. In this respect, it is clear that the seat 8 can be shaped virtually arbitrary. The guide means 7 is also not designed as a closed frame. Instead, four strips 18, which are provided between the feet 3 of the bank, provided for guiding the moldings 4.

Als Führungsmittel 7 für die Formkörper 4 dienen neben dem Rahmen beziehungsweise der Leisten 18 zudem die Seitenflächen benachbarter Formkörper 4. Optional können Stifte, sonstige Führungsflächen oder dergleichen als Führungsmittel 7 vorgesehen werden.In addition to the frame or the strips 18, the side surfaces of adjacent molded bodies 4 serve as guide means 7 for the molded bodies 4. Optionally, pins, other guide surfaces or the like may be provided as guide means 7.
