Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Sitzmöbel gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, wie es der Art nach im Wesentlichen aus der GB 589 627 A1 bekannt ist.The invention relates to a piece of seating furniture according to the preamble of claim 1, as the type is essentially from GB 589 627 A1 is known.

Bezüglich des weitergehenden Standes der Technik sei an dieser Stelle auf die DE 10 2006 016 522 A1 verwiesen.Regarding the advanced state of the art is at this point on the DE 10 2006 016 522 A1 referred.

Ferner sind Sitzmöbel wie beispielweise Fernseh- oder Massagesessel bekannt, die eine ausfahrbare Fußstütze aufweisen. Nachteilig daran ist, dass bei der Verstellung der Fußstütze lediglich die Fußstütze selbst bewegt wird. Das Rückenteil sowie die beiden Armteile verbleiben dagegen in der ursprünglichen Position. Um diese zu verstellen, ist ein zusätzlicher Mechanismus notwendig. Auch können das Rückenteil und die Armteile starr und somit nicht verstellbar ausgebildet sein. Dies führt insbesondere zu Komforteinbußen.Furthermore, seating furniture such as TV or massage chairs are known, which have an extendable footrest. The disadvantage of this is that when the footrest is adjusted, only the footrest itself is moved. The back part and the two arm parts, on the other hand, remain in their original position. To adjust this, an additional mechanism is necessary. The back part and the arm parts can also be rigid and therefore non-adjustable. This leads in particular to a loss of comfort.

Es ist eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, den Sitz-/Liegekomfort eines gattungsgemäßen Sitzmöbels zu verbessern.It is an object of the invention to improve the sitting/lying comfort of a generic piece of seating furniture.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Sitzmöbel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.This object is achieved by a piece of seating furniture having the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt durch eine Verstellung der Fußstütze aus der Warteposition in die Stützposition eine Bewegung des Armteils, insbesondere beider Armteile, relativ zur, vorzugsweise unbeweglichen, Basis. Die Bewegung des Armteils bzw. der Armteile erfolgt insbesondere über das relativ zur Basis beweglich abgestützte Sitzteil. Bei der das Sitzteil abstützenden Basis kann es sich insbesondere um eine zentrale Säule oder einen Drehfuß oder um zwei beabstandete Seitenteile handeln, an denen sich das Sitzteil abstützt.According to the invention, moving the footrest from the waiting position to the supporting position causes the arm part, in particular both arm parts, to move relative to the preferably immovable base. The movement of the arm part or the arm parts takes place in particular via the movably supported relative to the base seat part. The base supporting the seat part can in particular be a central column or a rotary foot or two spaced-apart side parts on which the seat part is supported.

Entsprechend kann sich das Armteil insbesondere auch in entgegengesetzte Richtung relativ zur Basis bewegen, wenn die Fußstütze aus der Stützposition wieder in die Warteposition verstellt wird.Correspondingly, the arm part can in particular also move in the opposite direction relative to the base when the footrest is moved from the support position back into the waiting position.

Der Begriff "Armteil" ist vorliegend breit zu verstehen. So kann das Armteil eine Armlehne umfassen. Insbesondere kann jedoch auch ein gesamtes Seitenelement des Sitzmöbels mit einer Auflagefläche für die Arme als Armteil angesehen werden.The term "arm part" is to be understood broadly in the present case. The arm part can thus comprise an armrest. In particular, however, an entire side element of the piece of seating furniture with a support surface for the arms can also be regarded as an arm part.

Das Armteil mit dem Rückenteil über eine Kopplungsvorrichtung zwangsgekoppelt, wobei die Kopplungsvorrichtung zwischen Armteil und Rückenteil zumindest zwei Gelenke, insbesondere Scharniere, umfasst. Wird beispielsweise das Rückenteil verstellt, so bewegt sich zugleich das Armteil, und umgekehrt. Vorzugsweise ist eines der Scharniere mit dem Rückenteil verbunden, insbesondere verschraubt, und ein anderes mit dem Armteil.The arm part is forcibly coupled to the back part via a coupling device, the coupling device between the arm part and the back part comprising at least two joints, in particular hinges. For example, if the back part is adjusted, the arm part moves at the same time, and vice versa. One of the hinges is preferably connected to the back part, in particular screwed, and another to the arm part.

Die Fußstütze und das Armteil können insbesondere miteinander gekoppelt sein. Mit Hilfe desselben Verstellmechanismus können somit vorzugsweise gleichzeitig sowohl die Fußstütze als auch das Armteil verstellt werden.The footrest and the arm part can in particular be coupled to one another. With the help of the same adjustment mechanism, both the footrest and the arm part can thus preferably be adjusted at the same time.

Insbesondere kann die Verstellung der Fußstütze ausgelöst werden, indem von vorne gegen die eingefahrene Fußstütze gedrückt wird, wobei grundsätzlich auch andere Auslösemechanismen, insbesondere über Hebel und/oder Schalter, möglich sind. Durch das Auslösen wird die Fußstütze aus einer eingefahrenen Warteposition, in welcher zumindest ein Teil der Fußstütze unterhalb des restlichen Sitzteils angeordnet sein kann, in eine ausgefahrene Stützposition verstellt. In der Stützposition bildet die Fußstütze beispielsweise eine Auflagefläche für die Füße eines Benutzers. Zur Verstellung der Fußstütze kann ein geeigneter Beschlag vorgesehen sein.In particular, the adjustment of the footrest can be triggered by pressing from the front against the retracted footrest, with other triggering mechanisms, in particular via levers and/or switches, also being possible in principle. As a result of the triggering, the footrest is moved from a retracted waiting position, in which at least part of the footrest can be arranged below the rest of the seat part, into an extended support position. In the Support position forms the footrest, for example, a support surface for a user's feet. A suitable fitting can be provided for adjusting the footrest.

Da mit Hilfe eines einzigen Auslösemechanismus sowohl die Fußstütze als auch das Armteil verstellt werden können, gestaltet sich die Verstellung des Sitzmöbels besonders einfach und komfortabel.Since both the footrest and the armrest can be adjusted with the help of a single release mechanism, the adjustment of the seating furniture is particularly easy and comfortable.

Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind auch den abhängigen Ansprüchen, der Beschreibung sowie den beigefügten Zeichnungen zu entnehmen.Further developments of the invention can also be found in the dependent claims, the description and the accompanying drawings.

Gemäß einer Ausführungsform umfasst die Bewegung des Armteils eine Hebe- und Schiebebewegung, insbesondere nach hinten, vorzugsweise in Richtung des Rückenteils. Durch die Verstellung der Fußstütze kann das Armteil insbesondere nach oben gehoben und nach hinten geschoben werden. Dabei kann das Armteil beispielsweise mindestens 90 mm, 100 mm, 115 mm, 120 mm oder 130 mm in Richtung des Rückenteils bewegt werden.According to one embodiment, the movement of the arm part comprises a lifting and pushing movement, in particular backwards, preferably in the direction of the back part. By adjusting the footrest, the arm part can in particular be lifted up and pushed back. The arm part can be moved, for example, at least 90 mm, 100 mm, 115 mm, 120 mm or 130 mm in the direction of the back part.

Nach einer weiteren Ausführungsform erfolgt bei der Verstellung der Fußstütze eine Bewegung des Sitzteils, wobei sich insbesondere die Neigung des Sitzteils verändern und vorzugsweise steiler werden kann. Insbesondere kann sich das Sitzteil im vorderen Bereich nach oben und außerdem als Ganzes nach hinten bewegen, wobei der hintere Bereich des Sitzteils sich nach unten bewegen oder im Wesentlichen auf der gleichen Höhe verbleiben kann.According to a further embodiment, when the footrest is adjusted, the seat part moves, in which case the inclination of the seat part in particular can change and preferably become steeper. In particular, the seat part can move upwards in the front area and also backwards as a whole, whereby the rear part of the seat part can move downwards or remain essentially at the same height.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist eine Hebevorrichtung für das Armteil vorgesehen, welche starr mit dem Sitzteil verbunden ist. Insbesondere ist die Hebevorrichtung drehfest am Sitzteil angeordnet und z.B. fest an diesem montiert. Durch die Hebevorrichtung kann das Armteil bei einer Verstellung der Fußstütze vorzugsweise gehoben und nach hinten geschoben werden. Insbesondere kann durch die Hebevorrichtung die Neigungsänderung des Sitzteils an das Armteil weitergegeben werden.According to a further embodiment, a lifting device is provided for the arm part, which is rigidly connected to the seat part. In particular, the lifting device is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on the seat part and, for example, is fixedly mounted on it. By means of the lifting device, the arm part can preferably be lifted and pushed backwards when the footrest is adjusted. In particular, can the change in inclination of the seat part can be passed on to the arm part by the lifting device.

Nach einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist das Armteil relativ zur Hebevorrichtung verschieblich gelagert. Auf diese Weise kann sich das Armteil relativ zur Hebevorrichtung nach hinten bzw. nach vorne bewegen.According to a further embodiment, the arm part is displaceably mounted relative to the lifting device. In this way, the arm part can move backwards and forwards relative to the lifting device.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform umfasst die Hebevorrichtung eine Führungsschiene für das Armteil oder die Hebevorrichtung ist unmittelbar mit einer Führungsschiene für das Armteil verbunden. Die Hebevorrichtung kann mit der Führungsschiene insbesondere verschraubt sein.According to a further embodiment, the lifting device comprises a guide rail for the arm part or the lifting device is directly connected to a guide rail for the arm part. The lifting device can in particular be screwed to the guide rail.

Die Führungsschiene ist insbesondere im Wesentlichen horizontal orientiert und umfasst eine sich längs erstreckende, zentrale Nut, so dass ein wie auch immer ausgebildetes Führungselement, beispielsweise ein Rollkörper oder ein Nutenstein, des Armteils von oben in die Nut eingreifen kann. Das Armteil kann somit insbesondere in einer Kulissenführung geführt werden.The guide rail is in particular oriented essentially horizontally and includes a longitudinally extending, central groove, so that a guide element of whatever design, for example a rolling body or a sliding block, of the arm part can engage in the groove from above. The arm part can thus be guided in particular in a slotted guide.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform weist die Hebevorrichtung eine Platte auf, welche sich in einem Bereich zwischen der Unterseite des Sitzteils und der Unterseite des Armteils erstreckt. Die Platte kann insbesondere aus Metall ausgebildet sein. Vorzugsweise ist die vertikal orientierte und sich von vorne nach hinten erstreckende Platte mit einem sich vom Sitzteil nach außen erstreckenden, senkrecht zur Platte orientierten Ausleger verbunden. Durch den Ausleger, insbesondere Metallträger, ist die Platte fest mit dem Sitzteil verbunden. Mit Hilfe der Platte kann das Armteil insbesondere auf stabile Weise gehebelt und geschoben werden.According to a further embodiment, the lifting device has a plate which extends in an area between the underside of the seat part and the underside of the arm part. The plate can in particular be made of metal. Preferably, the vertically oriented panel extending from front to rear is connected to an outrigger extending outwardly from the seat portion and oriented perpendicularly to the panel. The plate is firmly connected to the seat part by the extension arm, in particular the metal support. With the help of the plate, the arm part can be levered and pushed in a particularly stable manner.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung des Verstellmechnismus ist unter anderem vorteilhaft, dass das Sitzteil als vollständige Schale montiert werden kann.One of the advantages of the configuration of the adjustment mechanism according to the invention is that the seat part can be assembled as a complete shell.

Nach einer weiteren Ausführungsform erfolgt bei der Verstellung der Fußstütze aus der Warteposition in die Stützposition eine Verstellung des Rückenteils aus einer zumindest im Wesentlichen aufrechten Sitzposition in eine geneigte Relaxposition. Auf diese Weise wird auch das Rückenteil bei einer Verstellung der Fußstütze verstellt. Ein zusätzlicher Auslösemechanismus ist dabei nicht erforderlich, wodurch sich der Verstellvorgang besonders einfach und komfortabel gestaltet.According to a further embodiment, when the footrest is adjusted from the waiting position to the support position, the back part is adjusted from an at least substantially upright sitting position to an inclined relaxation position. In this way, the back part is also adjusted when the footrest is adjusted. An additional release mechanism is not required, which makes the adjustment process particularly easy and convenient.

In der Relaxposition ist das Rückenteil insbesondere gegenüber einer im Wesentlichen aufrechten Sitzposition nach hinten geneigt und kann beispielsweise einen Winkel zur Vertikalen von etwa 5° bis 35°, vorzugsweise von etwa 10° bis 30°, einschließen.In the relaxed position, the back part is inclined backwards in particular compared to a substantially upright sitting position and can, for example, enclose an angle to the vertical of approximately 5° to 35°, preferably approximately 10° to 30°.

Insbesondere erfolgt bei einer Verstellung des Rückenteils aus der Sitzposition in eine Relaxposition oder in eine im Vergleich zur Relaxposition stärker geneigte Liegeposition und/oder aus der Relaxposition in die Liegeposition eine Bewegung des Armsteils relativ zur Basis nach hinten, vorzugsweise in Richtung des Rückenteils. In der Liegeposition kann das Rückenteil mit einer Vertikalen einen Winkel von etwa 35° bis 90°, vorzugsweise etwa 40° und 50°, einschließen. Wird das Rückenteil nach hinten verstellt, so verstellt sich zugleich das Armteil, vorzugsweise um mindestens 70 mm, 80 mm, 90 mm oder 100 mm, und zwar unabhängig von einer Verstellung des Sitzteils bzw. der Fußstütze. Die Verstellung aus der Sitzposition bzw. der Relaxposition in die Liegeposition bzw. umgekehrt erfolgt somit insbesondere losgelöst von der Verstellung der Fußstütze.In particular, when the back part is adjusted from the sitting position into a relaxed position or into a lying position that is more inclined than the relaxed position and/or from the relaxed position into the lying position, the arm part moves backwards relative to the base, preferably in the direction of the back part. In the lying position, the back part can enclose an angle of about 35° to 90°, preferably about 40° and 50°, with a vertical. If the back part is adjusted backwards, the arm part is adjusted at the same time, preferably by at least 70 mm, 80 mm, 90 mm or 100 mm, independently of an adjustment of the seat part or the footrest. The adjustment from the seated position or the relaxed position to the lying position or vice versa is thus carried out in particular independently of the adjustment of the footrest.

Diese Verstellung kann beispielsweise ausgelöst werden, indem das Rückenteil nach hinten verstellt wird, z.B. durch ein Zurücklehnen eines Benutzers. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann zur Verstellung auch ein Hebel und/oder Schalter vorgesehen sein.This adjustment can be triggered, for example, by the back part being adjusted backwards, for example by a user leaning back. Alternatively or additionally, a lever and/or switch can also be provided for adjustment.

Zwischen den Gelenken kann ein Verbundarm, insbesondere ein gebogener Metallträger, vorgesehen sein. Das Verschwenken des Armteils erfolgt durch die Gelenke insbesondere nicht auf einer Kreisbahn mit konstantem Radius, sondern flacher, d.h. der Radius vergrößert sich.A composite arm, in particular a bent metal support, can be provided between the joints. In particular, the pivoting of the arm part does not take place on a circular path with a constant radius, but flatter, i.e. the radius increases.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden beispielhaft unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnungen beschrieben. Es zeigen:

In Fig. 1 ist ein Sitzmöbel mit einem Sitzteil 10, einem als Rückenlehne 12 ausgebildeten Rückenteil, zwei als Armlehne 14 ausgebildeten Armteilen und einer Basis 16 dargestellt. Das Sitzteil 10 umfasst eine Fußstütze 18, welche in Fig. 1 unterhalb des restlichen Sitzteils 10 in eine Warteposition eingeklappt ist. Zur Verstellung der Fußstütze 18 aus der eingefahrenen Warteposition in eine ausgefahrene Stützposition ist ein Beschlag 20 vorgesehen.In 1 a piece of seating furniture with a seat part 10, a back part designed as a backrest 12, two arm parts designed as an armrest 14 and a base 16 is shown. The seat part 10 includes a footrest 18, which 1 below the rest of the seat part 10 is folded into a waiting position. A fitting 20 is provided for adjusting the footrest 18 from the retracted waiting position into an extended support position.

Das Rückenteil 12 ist mittels einer Gasdruckfeder 22 sowie eines Beschlags 24 mit dem Sitzteil 10 verbunden.The back part 12 is connected to the seat part 10 by means of a gas pressure spring 22 and a fitting 24 .

Zur Verbindung zwischen dem Rückenteil 12 und den Armteilen 14 ist jeweils eine Kopplungsvorrichtung 26 vorgesehen, welche zwei Gelenke 28 und einen sich dazwischen erstreckenden Verbundarm 29 aufweist. Durch die Kopplungsvorrichtung 26 sind die Armteile 14 und das Rückenteil 12 miteinander zwangsgekoppelt.For the connection between the back part 12 and the arm parts 14, a coupling device 26 is provided in each case, which has two joints 28 and a connecting arm 29 extending between them. The arm parts 14 and the back part 12 are forcibly coupled to one another by the coupling device 26 .

Die Armteile 14 sind jeweils über eine als Platte 30 ausgebildete Hebevorrichtung mit dem Sitzteil 10 verbunden. Die Platte 30 ist dabei starr über Befestigungsmittel 32 am Sitzteil 10 befestigt. Die Verbindung mit dem Sitzteil 10 kann insbesondere über einen nicht gezeigten, sich senkrecht von der Platte 30 zum Sitzteil 10 erstreckenden Ausleger erfolgen. Ferner ist an der Platte 30 eine Führungsschiene 34 montiert. Die Führungsschiene 34 weist eine Nut 36 auf, in welche ein Rollkörper 38 des Armteils 14 eingreift. Das Armteil 14 kann sich dabei durch die Führungsschiene 34 in Schieberichtung S relativ zur Platte 30 bewegen.The arm parts 14 are each connected to the seat part 10 via a lifting device designed as a plate 30 . The plate 30 is rigidly attached to the seat part 10 by means of attachment means 32 . The connection to the seat part 10 can in particular take place via a bracket (not shown) extending perpendicularly from the plate 30 to the seat part 10 . A guide rail 34 is also mounted on the plate 30 . The guide rail 34 has a groove 36 in which a rolling body 38 of the arm part 14 engages. The arm part 14 can move in the sliding direction S relative to the plate 30 by the guide rail 34 .

Wird nun das Rückenteil 12, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, in Verstellrichtung R nach hinten aus einer im Wesentlichen aufrechten Sitzposition in eine geneigte Liegeposition verstellt, so bewegt sich auch das Armteil 14 aufgrund der Kopplungsvorrichtung 26 zusammen mit dem Rückenteil 12 relativ zur Platte 30 nach hinten. Das Armteil 14 wird dabei durch die Führungsschiene 34 geführt.If the back part 12, as in 2 shown, adjusted backwards in the adjustment direction R from a substantially upright sitting position to an inclined lying position, the arm part 14 also moves due to the coupling device 26 together with the back part 12 relative to the plate 30 backwards. The arm part 14 is thereby guided by the guide rail 34 .

Die Verstellung des Rückenteils 12 bzw. des Armteils 14 erfolgt hierbei unabhängig vom Sitzteil 10.The back part 12 or the arm part 14 is adjusted independently of the seat part 10.

Gemäß der Darstellung in Fig. 3 wurde, ausgehend von der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Situation, also bei einem aufrechten Rückenteil 12, die Fußstütze 18 ausgelöst. Beim Auslösen bewegt sich das Sitzteil 10 im vorderen Bereich nach oben und als Ganzes nach hinten und wird dadurch stärker nach hinten geneigt. Aufgrund der Platte 30 wird auch das Armteil 14 sowohl in Heberichtung H geringfügig nach oben als auch in Schieberichtung S nach hinten bewegt. Das Rückenteil 12 wird dabei leicht nach hinten in eine Relaxposition geneigt.According to the illustration in 3 was, starting from the in 1 Situation shown, so with an upright back part 12, the footrest 18 triggered. When triggered, the seat part 10 moves upwards in the front area and backwards as a whole and is thus inclined more backwards. Due to the Plate 30 is also the arm part 14 both in the lifting direction H slightly up and in the sliding direction S backwards. The back part 12 is tilted slightly backwards into a relaxed position.

Wie in Fig. 4 dargestellt, kann auch ausgehend von dieser Relaxposition das Rückenteil 12 in Verstellrichtung R nach hinten in eine Liegeposition verstellt werden, und zwar unabhängig vom Sitz 10. Lediglich die Armteile 14 werden dabei aufgrund der Kopplungsvorrichtung 26 zusammen mit dem Rückenteil 12 in Schieberichtung S nach hinten verschoben.As in 4 shown, starting from this relaxed position, the back part 12 can also be adjusted backwards in the adjustment direction R into a reclining position, independently of the seat 10. Only the arm parts 14 are pushed backwards together with the back part 12 in the sliding direction S due to the coupling device 26 .

Durch die Kopplung zwischen Armteil 14 und Rückenteil 12 einerseits sowie die Verbindung zwischen Armteil 14 und Sitzteil 10 mit verstellbarer Fußstütze 18 andererseits kann das Sitzmöbel auf komfortable Weise durch eine Verstellung der Fußstütze 18 verstellt werden.Due to the coupling between arm part 14 and back part 12 on the one hand and the connection between arm part 14 and seat part 10 with adjustable footrest 18 on the other hand, the chair can be easily adjusted by adjusting the footrest 18 .
