Aus dem nachveröffentlichten Dokument WO2013/167822 A1 sind Sitzvorrichtungen bekannt, welche um einen Schwerpunkt aus einer Sitzstellung in eine Liegestellung verschwenbar sind.From the post-published document WO2013 / 167822 A1 Seat devices are known which verschwenbar about a focus from a sitting position in a reclining position.

In den letzten Jahren hat sich durch zahlreiche wissenschaftliche Studien die Erkenntnis verfestigt, dass die Leistungsfähigkeit eines Berufstätigen mit einem langen Arbeitstag durch einen kurzen Schlaf, oft als Tagschlaf oder Kraftnickerchen (Engl. "Power napping") bezeichnet, deutlich gesteigert werden kann. Es ist daher bekannt, sogenannte Schlafräume in einem Büro vorzusehen. Weiter sind Vorrichtungen bekannt, mit welchem sich ein Arbeitstisch oder ein Bürostuhl in eine Liegevorrichtung für einen kurzen Schlaf umrüsten lassen. Ein derartiges Umrüsten ist jedoch in der Regel mit einem großen Aufwand verbunden, sodass der hohe Umrüstaufwand dem Ziel entgegenstehen, einen kurzen Schlaf dem Arbeitenden in einer kurzen Ruhepause zu ermöglichen.In recent years, numerous scientific studies have confirmed that the ability of a working person with a long working day can be significantly increased by a short sleep, often called daytime sleep or power napping. It is therefore known to provide so-called bedrooms in an office. Furthermore, devices are known with which a work table or an office chair can be converted into a reclining device for a short sleep. Such retooling, however, is usually associated with a great deal of effort, so that the high conversion effort precludes the goal to allow a short sleep the worker in a short break.

Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Schreibtisch-Sitzvorrichtung zu schaffen, welche eine Nutzung in einer Liegestellung ermöglicht, ohne dass hierfür ein hoher Umrüstaufwand erforderlich ist.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a desk-seat device, which allows use in a lying position, without requiring a high conversion effort is required.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Schreibtisch-Sitzvorrichtung umfassend ein Grundgestell mit einem Fußkreuz, das Rollen aufweist, und eine Sitzstruktur mit einer Sitzfläche und einer Rückenlehne, wobei eine Schwenkmechanik vorgesehen ist, mittels der die Sitzstruktur an dem Grundgestell um eine horizontale Schwenkachse zwischen einer Arbeits- und einer Liegestellung verschwenkbar gelagert ist, wobei die Schwenkachse bezüglich des Grundgestells ortsfest oberhalb der Sitzfläche zumindest annähernd im Bereich eines Schwerpunkts der Sitzstruktur samt einer bestimmungsgemäß die Sitzstruktur nutzenden Person angeordnet ist, wobei das Fußkreuz Rollen umfasst, mittels welchen die Sitzvorrichtung verfahrbar ist, und wobei die Sitzstruktur eine zwischen einer Gebrauchsposition und einer Verstauposition verstellbare Beinauflage umfasst.This object is achieved by a desk chair apparatus comprising a base frame with a base having rollers, and a seat structure having a seat surface and a backrest, wherein a pivotal mechanism is provided, by means of which the seat structure on the base frame about a horizontal pivot axis between a working - And a reclining position is pivotally mounted, wherein the pivot axis is arranged with respect to the base frame stationary above the seat at least approximately in the region of a center of gravity of the seat structure together with a designated use of the seat structure person, said base comprises rollers, by means of which the seat device is movable, and wherein the seat structure comprises a leg rest adjustable between a use position and a stowed position.

Die Bein- oder Fußauflage ermöglicht ein Ablegen der Unterbeine und/oder der Füße in einer Liegestellung. In der Gebrauchsposition ist die Beinauflage in einer Ausgestaltung in einer Ebene mit der Sitzfläche. In einer anderen Ausgestaltung ist die Beinauflage bezüglich der Sitzfläche in der Gebrauchsposition abgewinkelt. Die Beinauflage ist in einer Ausgestaltung mit dem Schwenkmechanismus der Sitzstruktur gekoppelt, sodass beim Verschwenken der Sitzstruktur in die Liegestellung die Beinauflage in die Gebrauchsposition verstellt wird. In anderen Ausgestaltungen sind die Verstellbewegungen der Sitzstruktur und der Beinauflage nicht gekoppelt, sodass beispielsweise die Beinauflage auch in der Arbeitsstellung in eine Gebrauchsposition gebracht werden kann.The leg or footrest allows the lower legs and / or feet to be stored in a lying position. In the use position, the leg rest is in one embodiment in a plane with the seat. In another embodiment, the leg rest is angled with respect to the seat in the use position. The leg rest is coupled in one embodiment with the pivot mechanism of the seat structure, so that when pivoting the seat structure in the lying position, the leg rest is adjusted to the use position. In other embodiments, the adjustment movements of the seat structure and the leg rest are not coupled, so that, for example, the leg rest can be brought into a working position even in the working position.

In der Arbeitsstellung ist die Sitzvorrichtung ohne Einschränkungen an einem Schreibtisch nutzbar. Eine Verschwenkbewegung ist mindestens zwischen der Arbeits- und der Liegestellung möglich. Dabei ist in einer Ausgestaltung auch ein Verschwenken in eine beliebige Zwischenposition möglich. Durch die Anordnung der Schwenkachse im Schwerpunkt wirken keine Drehmomente aufgrund der Schwerkraft auf die Sitzstruktur ein. Die Lage der Sitzstruktur ist somit in jeder Schwenkstellung der Sitzstruktur um die Schwenkachse, auch als Neigestellung bezeichnet, stabil. Damit ist es möglich, auf aufwendige Feststellmechanismen zu verzichten. In einer Ausgestaltung sind jedoch zusätzliche Feststellmechanismen zur Fixierung der Sitzstruktur in einer gewünschten Neigestellung vorgesehen.In the working position, the seat device can be used without restrictions at a desk. A pivoting movement is possible at least between the working and the lying position. In one embodiment, pivoting into any intermediate position is also possible. Due to the arrangement of the pivot axis in the center of gravity no effect Torque due to gravity on the seat structure. The position of the seat structure is thus stable in any pivoting position of the seat structure about the pivot axis, also referred to as tilting position. This makes it possible to dispense with expensive locking mechanisms. In one embodiment, however, additional locking mechanisms for fixing the seat structure are provided in a desired tilt position.

Eine Verschwenkbewegung der Sitzstruktur ist mit geringem Kraftaufwand, beispielsweise durch Abstützung an einer Armlehne der Sitzvorrichtung möglich. Die Verschwenkbewegung wird daher in einer Ausgestaltung manuell durch einen Nutzer eingeleitet und ausgeführt. In einer anderen Ausgestaltung ist mindestens ein Antrieb und/oder eine Bremse vorgesehen, um die Sitzstruktur zu verschwenken und/oder in einer bestimmten Position zu arretieren. Die Verschwenkposition über die Maximalstellungen, d. h. über die Arbeitsstellung und/oder über die Liegestellung hinaus, ist in vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungen durch Anschläge verhindert. Aufgrund der Anordnung der Schwenkachse oberhalb der Sitzfläche ist ein Überschlagen der Sitzstruktur selbst bei einem Ausfall der Bremsen und/oder ohne Begrenzung sicher verhindert. Da der Schwerpunkt der Sitzstruktur - ggf. mit einer bestimmungsgemäß die Sitzstruktur nutzenden Person - bei einer Verschwenkbewegung zumindest annähernd ortsfest verbleibt, besteht auch keine Gefahr eines Kippens der Sitzvorrichtung um eine Aufstellpunkt des Fußkreuz beim Verschwenken.A pivoting movement of the seat structure is possible with little effort, for example by support on an armrest of the seat device. The pivoting movement is therefore initiated and executed manually in one embodiment by a user. In another embodiment, at least one drive and / or a brake is provided to pivot the seat structure and / or to lock in a certain position. The pivoting position over the maximum positions, d. H. Beyond the working position and / or the lying position, is prevented in advantageous embodiments by attacks. Due to the arrangement of the pivot axis above the seat, overturning of the seat structure is reliably prevented even in the event of a failure of the brakes and / or without limitation. Since the center of gravity of the seat structure-possibly with a person using the seat structure as intended-remains at least approximately stationary during a pivoting movement, there is also no risk of tilting of the seat device about an erection point of the base during pivoting.

Die Schwenkbewegung um die zumindest annähernd im Schwerpunkt liegende Schwenkachse führt auch dazu, dass bei einer Verschwenkbewegung sich ein Gefühl der Entspannung bei einer die Sitzvorrichtung nutzenden Person einstellt.The pivoting movement about the pivot axis lying at least approximately in the center of gravity also leads to a feeling of relaxation in the case of a pivoting movement in the case of a person using the seat device.

Weiter ist einer Ausgestaltung vorgesehen, dass die Sitzstruktur und das Grundgestell höhenverstellbar verbunden sind, beispielsweise mittels einer Gasdruckfeder-Einrichtung. Da bei einer Schwenkbewegung zwischen der Arbeits- und der Liegestellung keine Verschiebung der Schwenkachse relativ zu dem Grundgestell erfolgt, wird trotz einer Höhenverstellbarkeit der Sitzstruktur relativ zu dem Grundgestell von einer ortsfesten Schwenkachse gesprochen. In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist zwischen der Sitzvorrichtung und dem Grundgestell eine Wippmechanik für ein dynamisches Sitzen in der Arbeitsstellung vorgesehen. Der Schwerpunkt der Sitzstruktur, gegebenenfalls samt einer die Sitzstruktur bestimmungsgemäß nutzenden Person, ist je nach Gewicht der Sitzfläche und/oder Rückenlehne und damit deren Einfluss auf die Schwerpunktslage für eine Vielzahl an möglichen Nutzern nahezu gleich. Um eine Anpassung an verschiedene Personen zu ermöglichen, sind in einer Ausgestaltung Ausgleichsgewichte vorgesehen.Furthermore, an embodiment is provided that the seat structure and the base frame are connected vertically adjustable, for example by means of a gas spring device. Because at one Pivoting movement between the working and lying position no displacement of the pivot axis relative to the base frame, despite a height adjustment of the seat structure is spoken relative to the base frame of a fixed pivot axis. In a further embodiment, a tilt mechanism for a dynamic sitting in the working position is provided between the seat device and the base frame. Depending on the weight of the seat surface and / or backrest and thus their influence on the center of gravity position, the center of gravity of the seat structure, possibly together with a person using the seat structure as intended, is almost the same for a large number of potential users. In order to allow adaptation to different people, balancing weights are provided in one embodiment.

In einer Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass die Sitzstruktur einen Sitzstrukturträger umfasst. Der Sitzstrukturträger dient als Halteeinrichtung für die Sitzfläche und die Rückenlehne. Dabei ist in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung die Sitzfläche und/oder die Rückenlehne relativ zu der Schwenkachse verstellbar und in mindestens zwei unterschiedlichen Positionen fixierbar an dem Sitzstrukturträger gelagert. Durch die Verstellbarkeit der Sitzfläche und/oder der Rückenlehne relativ zu der Schwenkachse ist eine Justierung der Sitzvorrichtung für einen bestimmten Anwendungsfall durch Verlagerung des Schwerpunkts in die Schwenkachse möglich.In one embodiment, it is provided that the seat structure comprises a seat structure support. The seat support serves as a holding device for the seat and the backrest. In this case, in an advantageous embodiment, the seat surface and / or the backrest is adjustable relative to the pivot axis and mounted in at least two different positions fixed to the seat structure support. Due to the adjustability of the seat and / or the backrest relative to the pivot axis an adjustment of the seat device for a particular application by shifting the center of gravity in the pivot axis is possible.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass die Sitzfläche und die Rückenlehne für eine Übertragung einer Verstellbewegung der Rückenlehne auf die Sitzfläche verbunden sind. Dabei sind in einer Ausgestaltung die Sitzfläche und die Rückenlehne starr miteinander verbunden. Als "starre Verbindung" wird eine mechanische Verbindung bezeichnet, bei welchen die Bauteile idealerweise keine Relativbewegung zueinander ausführen. In anderen Ausgestaltungen sind die Sitzfläche und die Rückenlehne elastisch verbunden, sodass über einen kleinen, definierbaren Winkelbereich eine Relativbewegung zwischen der Sitzfläche und der Rückenlehne möglich ist. Dadurch ist beispielsweise bei einer Nutzung der Sitzvorrichtung in einer Arbeitsstellung eine Ausgleichsbewegung möglich. In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass zumindest bei einem Verschwenken der Sitzstruktur um die Schwenkachse die Sitzfläche und die Rückenlehne starr verbunden sind, um eine Relativbewegung zwischen Sitzfläche und Rückenlehne bei einem Verschwenken um die Schwenkachse und damit eine Verlagerung des Schwerpunkts bei einem Verschwenken zu verhindern. Die starre Verbindung wird dabei in einer Ausgestaltung durch eine geeignete Vorrichtung automatisch bei der Verschwenkbewegung um die Schwenkachse bewirkt. In anderen Ausgestaltungen ist vorgesehen, dass die Teile manuell durch einen Nutzer verbunden werden. Dabei ist in einer Ausgestaltung vorgesehen, dass erst nach einer starren Verbindung der Teile eine Schwenkbewegung um die Schwenkachse freigegeben ist.In a further embodiment it is provided that the seat surface and the backrest are connected to the seat surface for a transmission of an adjustment movement of the backrest. In one embodiment, the seat and the backrest are rigidly connected. As a "rigid connection" a mechanical connection is referred to, in which the components ideally perform no relative movement to each other. In other embodiments, the seat and the backrest are elastically connected, so over a small, definable angle range a Relative movement between the seat and the backrest is possible. As a result, for example when using the seat device in a working position, a compensation movement is possible. In a further embodiment, it is provided that at least during a pivoting of the seat structure about the pivot axis, the seat and the backrest are rigidly connected to prevent relative movement between the seat and backrest upon pivoting about the pivot axis and thus a displacement of the center of gravity during pivoting , The rigid connection is effected in one embodiment by a suitable device automatically during the pivoting movement about the pivot axis. In other embodiments, it is provided that the parts are connected manually by a user. It is provided in one embodiment that only after a rigid connection of the parts a pivoting movement is released about the pivot axis.

In einer Ausgestaltung der Schreibtisch-Sitzvorrichtung umfasst die Schwenkmechanik zwei dem Grundgestell zugeordnete, seitlich der Sitzstruktur angeordnete Stützelemente und zwei der Sitzstruktur zugeordnete, an den Stützelementen schwenkbar gelagerte Schwingen. Als der "Sitzstruktur zugeordnet" wird im Zusammenhang mit der Anmeldung sowohl eine mechanische Verbindung der Schwingen mit Teilen der Sitzstruktur, insbesondere mit dem Sitzstrukturträger, als auch eine einteilige Ausgestaltung der Schwingen mit Teilen der Sitzstruktur, insbesondere mit dem Sitzstrukturträger, bezeichnet. In einer Ausgestaltung sind zwei dem Grundgestell zugeordnete seitliche Armlehnen vorgesehen, wobei die Armlehnen als Stützelemente fungieren, an welchen die Schwingen schwenkbar angelenkt sind.In one embodiment of the desk-seat device, the swivel mechanism comprises two support elements assigned to the base frame, arranged laterally of the seat structure, and two rockers associated with the seat structure and pivotably mounted on the support elements. In connection with the application, a "mechanical connection of the rockers with parts of the seat structure, in particular with the seat structure support, as well as a one-part design of the rockers with parts of the seat structure, in particular with the seat structure support, are referred to as the" seat structure assigned ". In one embodiment, two of the base frame associated side armrests are provided, the armrests act as support elements on which the wings are pivotally articulated.

In einer anderen Ausgestaltung der Schreibtisch-Sitzvorrichtung umfasst die Schwenkmechanik mindestens zwei konzentrisch angeordnete Bogenführungen. Je nach gewünschtem Schwenkwinkel werden mindestens zwei konzentrisch angeordnete, geschlossene Kreisführungen oder offene Bogenführungen, im Folgenden unter Bogenführungen zusammengefasst, vorgesehen. Die Bogenführungen sind auf Rollen oder in Gegenführungen verschieblich gelagert, sodass die Sitzstruktur eine Schwenkbewegung um die Achse vollführt, die durch die beiden Mittelpunkte definiert ist. In vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungen ist dabei vorgesehen, dass die zwei Bogenführungen der Sitzstruktur zugeordnet sind und in einer dem Grundgestell zugeordneten Gegenführung verschieblich gelagert sind. In einer Ausgestaltung ist ein Verlauf der Biegelinie der zwei Bogenführungen für eine Verschwenkbewegung optimiert ist. Die zwei Bogenführungen sind zu diesem Zweck in einer Ausgestaltung als Kreisbogenführungen gestaltet. In einer anderen Ausgestaltung weisen die Bogenführungen eine Biegelinie auf, welche abschnittsweise von einer Kreisbahn abweicht. Durch geeignete Wahl der Biegelinie ist in einer Ausgestaltung ein Kraftaufwand zu Beginn einer Verschwenkbewegung aus der Arbeitsstellung und/oder aus der Liegestellung erhöht. Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist durch geeignete Wahl der Biegelinie in einer anderen Ausgestaltung vorgesehen, dass die Sitzstruktur ohne äußere Krafteinwirkung in die Arbeitsstellung und/oder in die Liegestellung gezwungen ist. Der Verlauf der Biegelinie ist durch den Fachmann ohne Schwierigkeiten geeignet wählbar, wobei der Schwerpunkt zumindest annähernd ortsfest verbleibt.In another embodiment of the desk-seat device, the pivot mechanism comprises at least two concentrically arranged sheet guides. Depending on the desired swivel angle, at least two concentrically arranged, closed circular guides or open curved guides are summarized below under sheet guides, intended. The sheet guides are slidably mounted on rollers or counter-guides, so that the seat structure performs a pivoting movement about the axis, which is defined by the two centers. In advantageous embodiments, it is provided that the two sheet guides are associated with the seat structure and are slidably mounted in a counter guide associated with the base frame. In one embodiment, a course of the bending line of the two sheet guides is optimized for a pivoting movement. The two sheet guides are designed for this purpose in one embodiment as circular arc guides. In another embodiment, the sheet guides on a bending line, which differs in sections from a circular path. By a suitable choice of the bending line, in one embodiment, a force is increased at the beginning of a pivoting movement from the working position and / or from the lying position. Alternatively or additionally, it is provided by a suitable choice of the bending line in another embodiment, that the seat structure is forced into the working position and / or in the lying position without external force. The course of the bending line can be suitably selected by the person skilled in the art without difficulty, the center of gravity remaining at least approximately stationary.

In noch einer anderen Ausgestaltung der Schreibtisch-Sitzvorrichtung umfasst die Schwenkmechanik zwei Gelenkeinrichtungen, von denen jede mindestens einen Oberarm und einen um eine Armachse drehbar an den Oberarm angelenkten Unterarm aufweist, wobei der Oberarm um eine Basisachse drehbar an dem Grundgestell angelenkt ist, der Unterarm um eine Endachse drehbar an der Sitzstruktur angelenkt ist, die Basisachse, die Armachse und die Endachse jeder Gelenkeinrichtung einander in jeweils einem Zentralpunkt schneiden und die Verbindungslinie der Zentralpunkte die Schwenkachse definiert. In einer Ausgestaltung sind weitere Arme, die um weitere Armachsen, die durch den Zentralpunkt gehen, drehbar sind, vorgesehen, wobei der Unterarm nicht direkt oder unmittelbar an der Sitzstruktur angelenkt ist, sondern die Sitzstruktur zwischen den beiden letzten Armen der zwei Gelenkeinrichtungen, drehbar um deren beiden Endachsen gelagert ist. Eine derartige Schwenkmechanik erlaubt ein Verschwenken um eine nicht körperlich realisierte Schwenkachse. Die Schwenkmechanik ist zu der Schwenkachse versetzt angeordnet. In vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungen ist die Schwenkmechanik platzsparend unterhalb der Sitzfläche angeordnet, ohne dass es hierfür zu einer Beeinträchtigung der Nutzung in der Arbeitsstellung kommt. Zudem ist es möglich, ein Design der Sitzstruktur zu schaffen, welches nicht durch die Schwenkmechanik erzwungen ist.In yet another embodiment of the desk-seat device, the pivot mechanism comprises two hinge devices, each of which has at least one upper arm and a forearm articulated about an arm axis to the upper arm, the upper arm being hinged to the base frame about a base axis, the lower arm an end axis is rotatably hinged to the seat structure, the base axis, the arm axis and the end axis of each hinge device intersect each other in each case a central point and the connecting line of the central points defines the pivot axis. In one embodiment, further arms are provided, which are rotatable about further arm axes that pass through the central point, wherein the forearm is not directly or directly hinged to the seat structure, but the seat structure between the two last arms of the two hinge devices, rotatable about both of them End axles is stored. Such a pivot mechanism allows pivoting about a not physically realized pivot axis. The pivot mechanism is arranged offset to the pivot axis. In advantageous embodiments, the swivel mechanism is arranged to save space below the seat, without this resulting in an impairment of the use in the working position. In addition, it is possible to provide a design of the seat structure, which is not enforced by the pivoting mechanism.

In einer Weiterbildung sind die beiden Gelenkeinrichtungen symmetrisch bezüglich der Symmetrieebene zwischen den beiden Zentralpunkten aufgebaut. Dies ist wegen der einfachen Lagerhaltung und Konstruktion beim Bau und der Wartung vorteilhaft, doch ist dies nicht notwendig. In vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungen ist jedoch zumindest vorgesehen, dass die Endachsen in einer gemeinsamen Normalebene zur Schwenkachse verlaufen und/oder dass die Basisachsen in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen.In a development, the two joint devices are constructed symmetrically with respect to the plane of symmetry between the two central points. This is advantageous for ease of storage and construction during construction and maintenance, but this is not necessary. In advantageous embodiments, however, it is at least provided that the end axes extend in a common normal plane to the pivot axis and / or that the base axes lie in a common plane.

In einer Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, dass die Beinauflage verschwenkbar an der Sitzstruktur angelenkt ist. Dabei ist in einer Ausgestaltung die Beinauflage um eine an einem vorderen Ende der Sitzfläche angeordnete Achse verschwenkbar angelenkt. Ein Verschwenken erfolgt dabei in einer Ausgestaltung mittels eines Klappmechanismus mit einem von der Sitzfläche nach unten abragenden Stopper-Element, welches die Beinauflage in einer Liegestellung der Sitzstruktur entgegen der Schwerkraft in einer Gebrauchsposition hält.In a further development, it is provided that the leg rest is articulated pivotably on the seat structure. In this case, in one embodiment, the leg rest is articulated pivotably about an axis arranged at a front end of the seat surface. In one embodiment, pivoting takes place by means of a folding mechanism with a stopper element projecting downwards from the seat surface, which holds the leg rest against the force of gravity in a lying position in a lying position of the seat structure in a use position.

In einer alternativen Ausgestaltung ist die Beinauflage in einem Schubfach verschieb- und abklappbar gelagert. Dabei ist die Beinauflage in einer Ausgestaltung mittels einer Zwangskraft belastet, welche bei einem Ausziehen der Beinauflage aus dem Schubfach ein Abklappen bewirkt. Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen der Erfindung, die in den Zeichnungen schematisch dargestellt sind. Für gleiche oder ähnliche Bauteile werden in den Zeichnungen einheitliche Bezugszeichen verwendet. Als Teil eines Ausführungsbeispiels beschriebene oder dargestellte Merkmale können ebenso in einem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel verwendet werden, um eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung zu erhalten.In an alternative embodiment, the legrest is slidably mounted and hinged in a drawer. In one embodiment, the leg rest is loaded by means of a constraining force, which causes it to fold down when the leg rest is pulled out of the drawer. Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the subclaims and from the following description of embodiments of the invention, which are shown schematically in the drawings. For identical or similar components, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings. As part of an embodiment features described or illustrated may also be used in another embodiment to obtain a further embodiment of the invention.

This makes it possible to move a center of gravity of the seat structure 3, taking into account a person using the seat structure, relative to the pivot axis I, so that the center of gravity comes to lie in the pivot axis I. In the illustrated embodiment, the Seat 30 and backrest 31 rigidly connected to the seat structure support 32.

Die in den Fig. 1 bis 11 dargestellten Schreibtisch-Sitzvorrichtungen 1, 101, 201 umfassen weiter jeweils eine Beinauflage 7, auf welcher in der Liegestellung gemäß den Fig. 1, 5 und 10 die Unterschenkel oder die Füße eines nicht dargestellten Nutzers ablegbar sind. Die Beinauflage 7 ist - wie beispielsweise in Fig. 3, 6 oder 8 erkennbar ist - in der Arbeitsstellung in eine Position unterhalb der Sitzfläche 30 verstaut. Die Beinauflage 7 ist mittels zwei Führungsschienenpaaren 70, 71 relativ zu der Sitzfläche 30, in einer zumindest annähernd parallel zu der Sitzfläche angeordneten Ebene verschieblich gelagert. Dabei ist jeweils eine Führungsschiene 70 an dem Sitzstrukturträger 32 angebracht.

Die in Fig. 8 bis 10 dargestellte Schwenkmechanik 204 umfasst zwei Gelenkeinrichtungen 8, wobei eine Gelenkeinrichtung 8 in Fig. 11 im Detail dargestellt ist. Die Gelenkeinrichtungen 8 umfassen jeweils einen Oberarm 80 und einen drehbar an den Oberarm angelenkten Unterarm 81. Der Oberarm 80 und der Unterarm 81 sind dabei um eine schematisch dargestellte Armachse 82 drehbar aneinander angelenkt. Der Oberarm 80 ist weiter um eine schematisch dargestellte Basisachse 83 an dem Grundgestell 2 angelenkt. Genauer ist der Oberarm 80 an einem dem Grundgestell 2 zugeordneten Bügel 243 angebracht. Der Unterarm 81 ist um eine Endachse 84 drehbar an der Sitzstruktur 3, genauer an dem Sitzstrukturträger 32 angelenkt. Die Basisachse 83, die Armachse 82 und die Endachse 84 schneiden einander in einem schematisch eingezeichneten Zentralpunkt 85. Eine Verbindungslinie der zwei Zentralpunkte 85 definiert die Schwenkachse I.In the Fig. 8 to 10 shown pivot mechanism 204 comprises two hinge devices 8, wherein a hinge device 8 in Fig. 11 is shown in detail. The joint devices 8 each comprise an upper arm 80 and a lower arm 81 which is rotatably hinged to the upper arm. The upper arm 80 and the lower arm 81 are pivoted to one another about a schematically illustrated arm axis 82. The upper arm 80 is further articulated about a schematically illustrated base axis 83 on the base frame 2. More precisely, the upper arm 80 is attached to a bracket 243 associated with the base frame 2. The lower arm 81 is pivoted about an end axis 84 to the seat structure 3, more specifically to the seat structure support 32. The base axis 83, the arm axis 82 and the end axis 84 intersect each other in a schematically drawn central point 85. A connecting line of the two central points 85 defines the pivot axis I.

In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die beiden Gelenkeinrichtungen 8 gleichartig und symmetrisch bezüglich der in Fig. 9 eingezeichneten Symmetrieebene II zwischen den Zentral punkten 85 aufgebaut.In the illustrated embodiment, the two hinge devices 8 are similar and symmetrical with respect to in Fig. 9 drawn symmetry plane II between the central points 85 constructed.

Die zwei Gelenkeinrichtungen 8 ermöglichen eine um die Schwenkachse I verschwenkbare Lagerung, wobei die Schwenkmechanik 204 beabstandet zu der Schwenkachse I angeordnet ist. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Bauteile der Schwenkmechanik 204 unterhalb der Sitzfläche 30 und beanstandet zu einem Nutzungsbereich der Armauflagen 6 anzuordnen. Dadurch ist eine Gefahr von Verletzungen aufgrund von im Bereich der Schwenkmechanik 204 eingeklemmten Körperteilen des Nutzers besonders gering.The two hinge devices 8 allow pivotable about the pivot axis I storage, wherein the pivot mechanism 204 spaced from the pivot axis I is arranged. This makes it possible to arrange the components of the pivoting mechanism 204 below the seat surface 30 and objected to a region of use of the armrests 6. As a result, a risk of injury due to body parts of the user clamped in the area of the pivoting mechanism 204 is particularly low.

In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel umfasst jede Gelenkeinrichtung zwei Arme, nämlich einen Oberarm 80 und einen Unterarm 81. In anderen Ausgestaltungen sind weitere "Arme" vorgesehen, die jeweils um eine weitere Achse drehbar angelenkt sind, wobei auch alle weiteren Achsen durch den Zentralpunkt 85 gehen. Vorteilhaft an derartigen Anordnungen ist, dass es möglich wird, die Arme kurz auszubilden und daher an beengte Platzverhältnisse eine gute Anpassung zu ermöglichen. In wieder anderen Ausgestaltungen sind mehr als zwei Gelenkeinrichtungen 8 vorgesehen, wobei ein Zentralpunkt der zusätzlichen Gelenkeinrichtungen in der Schwenkachse I liegt.In the illustrated embodiment, each hinge device comprises two arms, namely an upper arm 80 and a lower arm 81. In other embodiments, further "arms" are provided which are each rotatably articulated about a further axis, with all other axes go through the central point 85. An advantage of such arrangements is that it is possible to form the arms short and therefore to allow a good fit in tight spaces. In still other embodiments, more than two hinge devices 8 are provided, wherein a central point of the additional hinge devices in the pivot axis I is located.

Die Basisachsen 83 sind an dem Bügel 243 angeordnet und damit unbeweglich zueinander angeordnet. Ebenso sind die zwei Endachsen 84 an dem gemeinsamen Sitzstrukturträger 32 und damit unbeweglich zueinander angeordnet. Eine Ausrichtung der Basisachse 83, der Armachse 82 und der Endachse 84 und eine Länge des Oberarms 80 und/oder des Unterarms 81 sind in weiten Grenzen frei wählbar. Damit ist es möglich, die Zentralpunkte 85 gezielt in einen gewünschten Bereich in Abhängigkeit beispielsweise eine Masse der Sitzstruktur zu legen, nur die seitliche Auslenkung, die pro Winkeleinheit erfolgt, setzt hier Grenzen.The base axes 83 are arranged on the bracket 243 and thus arranged immovably to each other. Likewise, the two end axes 84 are arranged on the common seat structure support 32 and thus immovably to each other. An orientation of the base axis 83, the arm axis 82 and the end axis 84 and a length of the upper arm 80 and / or the lower arm 81 are freely selectable within wide limits. This makes it possible to place the central points 85 in a targeted manner in dependence on, for example, a mass of the seat structure, only the lateral deflection, which takes place per angular unit, sets limits here.
