Definitions

  • the invention relates to a piece of seating furniture with a base fixed in the intended use of the piece of seating furniture, a seat unit with a seat surface and a leg unit with leg support surface which is movable relative to the seat unit.
  • the leg unit is displaceable between a stowage position, in which the leg unit is arranged below the seat surface, and a use position, in which the leg unit is arranged in front of the seat, by means of a movement mechanism.
  • leg unit In order to achieve a sufficiently large leg support surface, there are variants that have a separately movable end segment in addition to the leg unit.
  • the leg unit In these designs, it is usually provided that the leg unit is pivotable relative to the seat unit, in part by means of double-strap mechanisms. The leg unit is then usually followed by a pivotable end segment.
  • Documents that are such or similar designs with leg segment and end segment show, for example, the BE 100 91 47 A3 , the DE 10 2008 009 234 A1 and the DE 3718645 C2 .
  • the DE 10 2005 001 877 A1 proposes for this a mechanism in which the leg unit is variable in size. It can thereby be reduced in the transfer from the use position to the stowed position below the seat. Only so it is possible to ensure a sufficient size of the leg support surface in the use position and a sufficient reduction of the leg unit in the pivoted stowed position.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a piece of furniture generic type to the effect that this allows the displacement of the leg unit between the stowed position and the use position by means of a simple mechanical design, in particular is desired that the corresponding inventive teaching also in seating furniture pieces with little space under the Seat unit is usable.
  • a piece of seating furniture according to the invention provides a sufficiently large leg support surface without having an end segment which can be displaced against it in addition to the leg unit and without the leg unit having to be made variable in size.
  • the movement mechanism is adapted to transfer the leg unit from the stowage position, in which the leg support surface is oriented substantially horizontally, into the use position, in which the leg support surface is also aligned substantially horizontally.
  • the movement mechanics points an intermediate carrier which is displaceable relative to the seat unit or the base by means of a first pivoting guide, the first pivoting guide having at least one first rear pivoting lever between the intermediate carrier and the seat unit or the base.
  • the leg unit is displaceable relative to the intermediate carrier by means of a second pivoting guide, the second pivoting guide having at least one first front pivoting lever between the intermediate carrier and the leg unit.
  • a seating piece of furniture is preferably a padded chair or a cushioned sofa.
  • this may have several separately movable leg units.
  • the notion of high direction means a direction orthogonal to a footprint upon which the furniture stands.
  • the indication of the transverse direction means an extension direction which extends horizontally parallel to the front edge of the seat.
  • the furniture longitudinal direction is a direction orthogonal to the furniture transverse direction and furniture vertical direction.
  • the indications "front” and “rear” refer to the furniture longitudinal direction and refer to the perspective of the person sitting on the piece of furniture, whose legs point forward and whose back points to the rear.
  • a state of the piece of furniture is referred to, in which the leg unit is in its stowed position.
  • a state is referred to, in which the leg unit is arranged in its use position.
  • there is a third state of use in which, when the leg unit is still extended, the backrest is positioned flatter with respect to the second use state.
  • the first state of use allows a common seating position with feet arranged on the floor.
  • the second state of use is also referred to as television position. With raised legs, he still allows a largely upright sitting position.
  • the third state of use is provided as a lying position.
  • the peculiarity of the piece of furniture according to the invention is that it is designed to displace the leg rest largely horizontally.
  • the leg rest at least in the stowage position and in the use position, has the essentially horizontal orientation, which is to be understood as meaning that the leg support surface is pivoted by no more than 25 ° relative to an imaginary horizontal plane.
  • the leg unit during the entire process of transfer from the stowage position to the use position in this sense is substantially aligned horizontally.
  • leg unit makes it possible to use a comparatively large leg unit, since this does not enforce a comparatively high seat height on the seat piece of furniture as a result of its length, as in known designs.
  • the length of the legrest in the longitudinal direction may exceed the height of the free space below the seat unit. This also makes it possible to dispense with a separately displaceable relative to the leg unit end segment for extending the leg support surface.
  • This movement mechanism has an intermediate carrier, which is provided by means of the first pivot guide pivotally mounted on the seat unit or the base.
  • the base is thereby formed by those parts of the piece of seating furniture, which under normal conditions Transfer of the leg unit from the use position in the stowage position and vice versa always remains stationary to a substrate on which the piece of furniture is.
  • it is a frame to which the feet of the piece of furniture are provided. Under a local strength in this sense, a pure rotation is understood.

  • the seat unit can be movable in the manner explained below.
  • the mobility of the intermediate carrier along a circular path, which is made possible by the first pivoting guide, can alternatively take place relative to the seat unit or the base.
  • the intermediate carrier itself is used to attach the leg unit, wherein the second pivot guide is provided between the intermediate carrier and the leg unit.
  • levers between the intermediate carrier on the one hand and the base or seat unit on the other hand find use.
  • these levers have a length between their articulation points of not more than 40 cm, preferably not more than 30 cm.
  • the second pivot guide which allows the movement of the leg unit relative to the intermediate carrier, is such that the leg unit can be displaced by the first front pivot lever along a circular path relative to the intermediate carrier.

Rather, it is considered advantageous if the orientation of the leg unit relative to the intermediate carrier and the orientation of the intermediate carrier relative to the seat unit or the base during pivoting does not change or only slightly ( ⁇ 25 °).
  • the second pivot guide is preferably designed as a double lever pivot guide.
  • a double lever pivot guide and other pivoting guides with positive guide means are conceivable.
  • the carrier as a whole is firmly connected to the first rear pivot lever and thus follows in terms of its orientation of the pivoting movement. It is advantageous, however, if the first rear pivot lever is articulated on the one hand about a pivot axis pivotally mounted on the seat unit or the base and on the other hand, only a second pivot axis is pivotally articulated to the intermediate carrier. In this way it can be prevented that the intermediate carrier pivots to the same extent, in which this applies to the pivot lever. It can therefore be displaced by the pivot guide in the sense of a largely maintaining horizontal alignment of the leg unit, without significantly changing its orientation.
  • positive guidance means are preferably provided by the each pivotal position of the first pivot lever relative to the seat unit or relative to the base is thereby associated with a pivotal position of the intermediate carrier relative to the first pivot lever assigned.

  • the pivot guide on a second pivot lever which is pivotally mounted about a first pivot axis spaced from the third pivot axis of the seat unit or the base and on the other hand pivotally about a second pivot axis spaced fourth pivot axis is hinged to the pivoting applications.
  • the peculiarity which results from the use of the pivoting guide between the base or seat unit on the one hand and the intermediate support on the other hand is, in particular, that the intermediate support can for the most part always remain below the seat surface.
  • the movement of the intermediate carrier relative to the seat surface or the base is effected by a pivoting guide, which can be hidden very well in front of the user's eyes.
  • the said pivot lever referred are provided on the transverse direction outside of the seat. Mechanical components that extend to the left and right of the seat to the front edge of the seat, are considered to be aesthetically disadvantageous and also form considerable opportunities to injure themselves.
  • the two pivot guides are mechanically independent, so that they can be influenced separately by the user. In terms of convenient handling, however, it is considered advantageous if the two pivot guides are operatively coupled to each other, so that adjusts depending on the relative position of the intermediate carrier relative to the seat unit or the base of a dependent relative position of the leg unit to the intermediate carrier.
  • the movement of the intermediate carrier relative to the seat unit or the base along a circular segment-shaped path indirectly also causes the movement of the leg unit relative to the intermediate carrier also along a circular segment-shaped path.

  • the user of the seat piece of furniture according to the invention can thus bring about the transfer of the leg unit from the stowed position to the use position by a displacement of the seat unit relative to the base.
  • the displacement of the seat unit relative to the base leads forward to the transfer of the leg unit into the use position.
  • the movement of a seat back unit of the furniture is operatively coupled with the movement of the seat unit relative to the base, so that the movement of the seat unit, which leads to the transfer of the leg unit in its use position, or a subsequent movement of the seat unit is followed by a pivoting the backrest unit leads.

  • the leg unit When the leg unit is in its stowage position below the seat unit, is preferably at least one of the shift lever or pivot lever near a dead center or even in an over-center position, so that for transferring the leg unit in the use position initially a slight lifting of the seat unit is required at least in the region of this located in the Studentstot Vietnamese displacement lever.
  • an activation lever may be provided, which allows it to leave the dead center by manually applied muscle power.
  • At least one of the displacement levers preferably both displacement levers
  • the displacement unit serves the purpose of ensuring additional displaceability of the seat unit. This is thus not directly displaced relative to the base, but towards the displacement unit, which in turn can be relocated even to the base.

  • the relative mobility of the displacement unit 80 relative to the base 18 is achieved by two slide tracks 18b, 18c, which are provided in side surfaces of the base 18 and in each of which a guide roller 82a, 82b is used, which are rotatably mounted on the displacement unit.
  • the slide tracks 18b, 18c are inclined slightly rising to the front.
  • the lying option is to be made available as the third state of use of the piece of seating furniture, is the coupling of the backrest support 90 to the other components of the seating furniture deviates from the design of the Fig. 1 to 3 realized.
  • the whereabouts of the guide rollers 82a, 82b in the initial position during the transition to the second state of use Fig. 8a, 8b is on the one hand by the inclined orientation of the slide tracks 18b, 18c conditional.
  • a deliberate or unintentional displacement of the displacement unit 80 is in this first transition phase in the second state of use, however, also prevented by the backrest support 90, a tab 94 is pivotally mounted, in which a slot 94 a is provided.
  • a slot 94a projects into a bolt 32c, which is provided at the front of the displacement lever 32, 34 and in the first use state of the Fig. 4a and 4b at a the slot 94a end abuts limiting stop area.
  • the bolt 32c and the slot 94a thereby prevent the first use state of Fig. 4a, 4b an immediate lowering of the backrest.
  • the backrest is therefore at the transition from the first state of use FIGS. 4a, 4b in the second state of use of Fig. 5a, 5b only in small Dimensions lowered. This small amount is dictated by the shape of an upper portion of the slide track 18a.
  • the pivot axis 34b of the backrest 16 is displaced forward and the backrest 16 guided by the rollers 96 in the slide tracks 18a slightly pivoted.
  • a design in which the transfer from the first to the second use state does not cause any pivotal movement of the backrest 16 would be possible by a different shape of the slide tracks 18a in the upper section.
  • the piece of furniture can therefore now in the third state of use of Fig. 6a, 6b be transferred, in which the backrest 16 is pivoted much further down.
  • This transfer to the third state of use is initiated by the occupant that presses his back against the backrest 16 and / or the seat unit 12 pushes forward.
  • FIGS. 7 to 10 is functional to the embodiment of 4 to 6 very similar. Also the piece of furniture, whose fitting in the FIGS. 7 to 10 is shown for use in a first, second and third use state, again in the first use state, the backrest 16 is retracted and the leg unit 14 is retracted, the leg unit 14 is extended in the second use state and in the third use state with extended leg unit 14, the backrest 16 is significantly pivoted to achieve a reclining position.
  • FIG. 7 shows an exploded view in which the lever system 70 has been replaced by the displacement unit 80 for explanatory purposes.
  • the entire assembly consisting of the displacement unit 80, the seating unit 12 pivotally mounted thereto by the displacement levers 32, 34 and the frame 30 and the intermediate support 30 pivotally mounted thereon are functionally almost identical to the design of the displaceable support 28 of the FIGS. 4 to 6 is trained.
  • the only functional differences are the elimination of the sliding rollers 82a, 82b and in the presence of an additional control lever 92 for connecting the backrest support 92, the function will be explained below.
  • the additional lever system 70 has a base fixed mounted mounting bar 71, opposite the two movement lever 72, 74 are displaced. These movement levers 72, 74 are each not directly pivotally mounted on the mounting bar, but by means of further intermediate lever, which will be explained below.
  • the two movement levers 72, 74 in turn have bores which define pivot axes 72a, 74a, in the region of which the displacement unit 80 is pivotally mounted on the movement levers 72, 74.
  • the intermediate lever by means of which the movement lever 72, 74 relative to the mounting bar 71 are defined movable, serve the purpose of ensuring a mobility of the displacement unit 80 relative to the mounting strips, which corresponds approximately to the mobility, which in the embodiment of 4 to 6 provided by the slide tracks 18b, 18c.
  • the intermediate levers ensure an approximately linear mobility.
  • This movement lever 74 is mounted by two pivotable intermediate lever 75, 76 on the mounting bar. Of particular importance is the lower intermediate lever 75. This is matched to the movement lever 74 such that the distance between the pivot axis 74a, in the region of which the displacement unit 80 is mounted on the movement lever 74 to the pivot axis 74b to the intermediate lever 75 pivotally on Moving lever 74 is mounted, substantially corresponding to the distance between the pivot axis 74b and the pivot axis 75a to which the intermediate lever 75 is pivotally hinged to the mounting bar 71. At the same time corresponds to the distance between the pivot axis 74b and the pivot axis 74c, by which the intermediate lever 76 is articulated on the movement lever 74, approximately this distance.
  • the lever system 70 is thus able to replace the slide tracks 18b, 18c of the previous embodiment. It ensures a nearly identical relative mobility of the displacement unit 80 relative to the base 18.
  • this control lever 92 instead mounted pivotally on the rear movement lever 72 about the pivot axis 72d.
  • Fig. 8a and 8b Starting from the first state of use of Fig. 8a and 8b leads a forward displacement of the seat unit 12 with its frame 26 against the initially stationary to each other remaining elements of the displacement unit 80 and the fixed base mounted lever system 70 for extending the leg unit in the same manner as in the previous embodiments.
  • Fig. 9a and 9b After reaching the second state of use of Fig. 9a and 9b leads a further forward displacement of the seat unit and a force applied to the backrest and thus the backrest support 90 that due to the active coupling via the control lever 92, the pivot axes 74a, 72a are moved approximately linearly and slightly rising along the dotted line relative to the base fixed mounting bar 71 forward , wherein it comes at the same time to a pivoting of the backrest 16.
  • Fig. 10a, 10b which is the third state of use, allows the seating furniture a comfortable reclining position.
  • a piece of furniture according to the invention can comprise further subunits which correspond to those described Subunits may be stationary or separately movable relative to these. These include in particular armrests, which may preferably be provided fixed to the seat unit.
  • the specifically named components which are provided fixedly to the various units, the base, the seat unit, the leg unit and the backrest unit, are to be understood by way of example.
  • the mounting strips 24, 71 and the side parts of the base, the seat frame 26, the intermediate support 30, the leg unit support 28 and the back support 90 can be replaced by other components that are suitable for mounting the respective functional elements such as lever and slide tracks without thereby departing from the subject matter of the invention.
