Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a chair with a frame, an attached seat and preferably a backrest attached to the seat, wherein between the frame and the seat as the only connection is provided approximately centrally below the seat arranged fastener.
  • the invention is based on seating furniture of all kinds, preferably for individuals, both in the form of chairs, armchairs, stools, both with a frame with a foot and / or rollers, as well as with a fixed frame such as.
  • Most of these seats offer no or very limited suspension, or the suspension is relatively complex as, for example, in height-adjustable office swivel chairs with gas spring or armchairs with mechanical springs, and therefore unsuitable for large-scale production.
  • Most chairs therefore have no suspension or other adjustment, which is often perceived by a person sitting on it long time as very uncomfortable; The attempt to change the posture always stresses the spine because the pelvis does not have any room to move on a rigid seat.
  • already lowing is a burden on the spine, because only the discs can have a cushioning effect.
  • the DE 20 2009 003 927 U1 relates to a chair with a support frame of a tubular profile, wherein the support frame has two spaced apart U-shaped frame sides, and at least one planar or at least two rod-shaped cross members for connecting the two frame sides, and with a removably attached to the support frame, one-piece Seat shell made of a flexible, elastically deformable material such as plastic. At the bottom and / or Rear side of the seat shell are reinforcing webs, which are attached to the top of the support frame. Since the fasteners in question are located near the rear legs of the support frame, this chair has a total of only a low compliance, because only on the very short path between the fasteners and the legs of the support frame deformation would be possible. This chair may therefore be stable; however, it is relatively uncomfortable for lack of any suspension.
  • the DE 723 136 discloses a free-swinging seating furniture, whose frame comprises only two front legs, which are interconnected on their underside by a horizontal, U-shaped bracket. Although such a piece of furniture can swing in the area of the backrest to a limited extent, it is relatively rigid in the area of the front edge of the seat, because there the fastening means of the seat are located relatively close to the front legs. Again, therefore, the seating comfort is limited.
  • WO 2012/020071 A1 describes a chair whose frame bent from a tube resembles a Z in side view. There are only two legs, which strive from the front edge of the seat back and at the same time also move away from each other in the lateral direction. At the lower end of the legs they are bent parallel to each other forward and then extend horizontally and parallel to each other to below the front edge of the seat. At the top of the two legs are connected by an approximately U-shaped bracket with each other, the center bar is located approximately below the backrest. In the underside of the seat is a channel-shaped Vetiefung, wherein the approximately U-shaped bracket is inserted. The seat is therefore supported by the U-shaped bracket on the entire top.
  • this chair can only spring by the sloping middle sections of the legs give something. Because the middle portions of the legs are inclined at an angle of about 45 °, however, such a vertical movement, always connected with a nearly equal motion component in the sitting direction, which is likely to be unusual for most people
  • the frame of the GB 2 462 496 A Previously known chair also has only two legs, which are located almost vertically below the backrest and only slightly inclined from the vertical. At the height of the seat, the two legs are connected by a cross-beam, and at this cross-beam, the rear portion of the seat is fixed.
  • the only suspension option in this chair is probably that the seat could tilt slightly around the rear cross-member, in particular so that its front edge slopes downwards.
  • such a suspension is minimal and connected to a tilt of the seat forward, contrary to the usual operation of a cantilever, which tends to rear under load. Therefore, this chair does not provide sufficient seating comfort.
  • the document DE 20 2008 011 303 U discloses a chair according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the spars have optimum elasticity if they consist of tubes, for example with a diameter of about 8 mm to 25 mm, in particular from 100 mm to 20 mm, and with a wall thickness of between about 0.4 mm to 4 mm, for example 0, 6 mm to 3 mm, preferably 0.8 mm to 2 mm, in particular 1 mm to 1.5 mm.
  • At least one planar, preferably horizontal abutment surface is provided on the first fastening means for connection to the underside of the seat surface.
  • At least one level contact surface thus serves for full-surface support of the seat bottom.
  • a contact surface may extend over a range of about 4 cm x 4 cm up to about 16 cm x 16 cm, with any intermediate sizes and formats, for example in a range of 5 cm x 5 cm up to 15 cm x 15 cm, preferably in a range of 8 cm x 8 cm up to 12 cm x 12 cm.
  • the total area can also be divided into two or more, not directly related partial areas.
  • connection between the fastener and the respective pipe sections can be effected in a variety of ways, for example, by welding a flat plate on top of the adjacent tubes, especially a connection technique shows advantageous properties, wherein the first fastening means engages around the associated spar sections on the underside thereof ,
  • the sheet-metal or plate-shaped fastening means conceals an otherwise possibly visible weld seam or gluing point from below, that is to say from the visible side.
  • the first fastening means should bend upwards on both sides of the associated spar sections and finally into a horizontal plane, thereby approaching the underside of the seating surface on both sides of the underrun spar sections which it should finally support with its flat horizontal surfaces.
  • the invention can be further developed to the effect that the first fastening means on each side of the undercut Holmabitese each has a flat contact surface, which preferably od one or more through holes for receiving screws. Like. Has. These through holes passing through screws can be screwed into the seat base and anchored there, and by tightening the same, the contact surfaces are fixed and thus frictional pressed against the underside of the seat, resulting in a total of an extremely intimate and firm connection.
  • other connecting means could be used, for example rivets or cones or glue, or several of these.
  • the invention is preferably characterized in that the two fixed to the first fastening means Holmabitese continue only on one side and preferably represent the ends of a common, multi-curved spar. In that case, if the ends of a single beam are bent towards each other and connected together - either indirectly through the fastening body according to the invention or directly by welding the beam ends together - this results in a doubly coherent loop, which gives the construction maximum stability.
  • the two Holmabitese connected to the first fastening means can be arranged side by side extending and / or are in contact, in particular welded together.
  • the two spar sections with each other before their contact with the fastener fastener of the invention is not part of the spar structure, but only connected to that, and therefore does not contribute to their stability, but is on the contrary stabilized by that.
  • two adjacent spar sections, which are approximately parallel to one another, offer a high degree of stability in relation to a lateral tilting of the seat surface.
  • the two leg sections fixed to the first fastener may extend entirely or predominantly forward or backward away from the first fastener within an approximately horizontal plane, but without any direct contact with the seat surface.
  • This can preferably be effected by the spar plane being accurate taken just not exactly aligned horizontally, but starting from the first fastener is inclined slightly downwards in the course of emanating from there Holmabitese, for example, at an angle of 2 ° or more, preferably at an angle of 5 ° or more, in particular below an angle of 10 ° or more.
  • this angle of inclination need not be too great, that is, for example, not greater than 40 °, preferably not greater than 30 °, in particular not greater than 20 °.
  • a resulting distance between the spars and the seat provides sufficient leeway for tilting and / or tilting movements forward, backward or sideways.
  • In the area of the front or rear seat edge or the backrest is then sufficient space available to continue the spars down, in the limit to the ground contact surface of the frame, but in the most indirect way, so that a particularly long elastic deformation area within the frame results in what the suspension additionally supports.
  • the two leg sections fixed to the first fastening means extend forwards or backwards away from the first fastening means within an approximately horizontal, but preferably slightly inclined plane, as previously described, but without any, direct contact with the seat.
  • both spar sections straight forward or back they are aligned within the approximately horizontal, but preferably slightly inclined plane parallel to each other and can be easily connected to each other if necessary, in particular even linear, for example.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is that the two fixed to the first fastening means Holmabête in the region of diverge from the front or rear seat edge in opposite directions, but without any direct contact with the seat surface.
  • the spar sections strive there to the two nearest chair or seat legs, but not to connect to those and / or go into those.
  • the divergence of the spars takes place only in the rear region of the seat, there is a relatively long parallel course of the two bar ends, which can be connected to each other over a longer distance, in order to maximize the stability of the frame.
  • the diverging divider sections should then extend forwards or backwards in the region of each side edge of the seat, but also without any direct contact with the seat surface.
  • a larger, approximately U-shaped spar structure is created in each case, which has good resilient properties by the available spring travel further extended and thus the suspension is made even softer.
  • These bends in the area of the seat front or rear edge can be configured as two separate 90 ° bends or as a single 180 ° bend.
  • the two fixed to the first fastener spar sections extending away from the flat plate within an approximately horizontal plane in or against the seat direction forward or backward, but diverge from each other, preferably at an angle between 60 ° and 120 °, and without forming a direct contact with the seat.
  • this embodiment also offers good stability in conjunction with optimum suspension.
  • the diverging divider sections run in the region of each side edge the seat upwards and then at the level of an armrest forward, but again without any direct contact with the seat. This even further measure makes the horizontal sections of the spars as armrests and gives them a high degree of multi-functionality, namely as part of the frame on the one hand, as an additional spring travel on the other hand, and as an armrest on top of that.
  • the arm sections running forwards or backwards in antiparallel to the first spar sections may have a bend approximately in the region of a respective front or rear corner of the seat and from there on a section running vertically or obliquely downwards, but again without any direct contact with the section seat.
  • the spar sections now continue directly as chair or seat legs.
  • the vertical spar sections in the area below each corner of the seat by a flat, horizontal, approximately U-shaped bracket connected in or against the sitting direction legs and a subsequent, transverse to the seating direction web connected together are.
  • This U-shaped bracket runs in the use of the chair parallel to the floor and can rest directly on that or by means of spacers as feet selectively supported thereon.
  • the invention further provides that along the side edges of the seat parallel to each other or from there bent down spar sections are finally bent towards each other to a common flight and combined with each other, in particular to a single part.
  • the entire spar has the shape of a frame and therefore enjoys the highest degree of mechanical stability.
  • Such a frame-shaped Holmverlauf additionally offers the possibility that the combined Holmabitese are connected in the region of a straight stretched rail section with the lower or actual frame.
  • the lower or actual frame is fixed to an outer peripheral region of the frame, the seat, however, at the two in the center of the frame in bent bar ends. This structure produces a maximum of suspension.
  • connection (s) of the strut sections joined together should be arranged with the frame symmetrical to a vertical plane running centrally in the seat direction.
  • the frame is supported symmetrically on the frame and can communicate this horizontal alignment of the load-bearing seat or shell.
  • This can be realized, for example, by connecting the lateral spar sections to a respective part or section of the frame. This provides a maximum degree of stability, because in such case, the outermost lateral frame parts can be supported on a respective side part of the frame.
  • the side spar sections can each be connected to a parallel spar of the frame, the ends of which are bent down to form one foot each.
  • the two side parts of the frame can be separated from each other and connected only by the frame-shaped, upper spar member. This connection can be made, for example, by welding, by gluing or otherwise.
  • a spar section extending transversely to the seat direction may be connected to a part or section of the frame. It is the continuous spar section, which - measured along the Holmverlaufs - has a maximum distance to the two bar ends.
  • Such a central fastening is possible, for example, by providing a second fastening means, in particular a fastening plate, on a spar section extending transversely to the seating direction. There can then be connected to the lower or actual frame, while the upper spar section primarily serves the suspension.
  • a second fastening means in particular a fastening plate
  • the invention recommends that the second attachment means, in particular the attachment plate, has one or more planar contact surface (s), in particular on its (its) underside. Since the upper spar section or spring frame rests on top of the actual frame, the underside of the fastening means facing the frame to be connected and therefore has the appropriate contact surface (s).
  • the second fastening means should engage around the spar section to be connected at its upper side so that a connection point between the spar section to be connected and the fastening means, for example a weld, an adhesive bond or the like, is concealed from the visible side - ie from above.
  • the second fastening means should each have a planar contact surface on both sides of the overlapped spar section, wherein preferably one or more through-openings are respectively for inserting screws or the like.
