Definitions

  • the invention relates to an armrest, in particular for an office chair or the like, with a armrest carrier and with a height-adjustable armrest column on the armrest carrier.
  • armrests are known in many designs from the prior art.
  • Height-adjustable armrests with actuators to change the height position of the armrest column are, for example US 2009/278393 A1 known.
  • a disadvantage of many of these known armrests is that relatively expensive constructive solutions are used for the height adjustment. This not only results in comparatively high material and manufacturing costs. Since often a large number of individual parts have to be complexly connected with each other, this also leads to relatively high assembly costs.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a particularly simply constructed armrest, thereby reducing both the material and manufacturing costs, as well as the installation costs, without having to give up the usual functionality.
  • the armrest according to the invention is characterized in that the armrest column has an integrally associated with her actuator for changing the height position of the armrest column.
  • the actuating element is preferably a pushbutton, that is to say a pressure-operable element which actuates the height adjustment, preferably in that the actuating element releases or blocks a locking mechanism directly or indirectly.
  • the actuating element is indirectly or directly in operative connection with an essential for the function of the height adjustment, in particular the triggering of the height adjustment Funkticnselement, such as a bolt of a multi-digit locking mechanism.
  • the armrest according to the invention in its embodiments is characterized, as will be described further, above all by three things, firstly a combined, preferably one-piece design of as many functional elements as possible, whereby the total number of required components is very low, secondly one resulting from this one-piece simple and inexpensive manufacturability of these components, for example by a plastic injection molding or the like, and thirdly, a very easy installation of all components, in particular such that a preferably completely screwless mounting of the armrest is possible. All this contributes to a significant reduction in material, manufacturing and assembly costs compared to conventional armrests.
  • the actuating element is designed as a kind of probe in the form of a two-armed lever, which is connected to form the fulcrum with adjacent side surface parts.
  • the connection of the actuator to the armrest column is in other words at the same time as the pivot point of the lever, so that no additional components are required for this purpose.
  • connection to the armrest column via two opposite to the lever longitudinal edges points, preferably over in the manufacture of the armrest column let material webs, so that armrest column and actuator are in turn integrally connected.
  • An embodiment with a connection of the actuating element by means of material webs is also advantageous because it allows the placement of the material webs and thereby the definition of the length of the lever arms of the actuating element independently of other constructive constraints freely selectable.
  • the armrest has a longitudinally adjustable on the armrest column mounted armrest and the armrest is connected to a preferably integrally connected to the one end of the armrest column, multifunctional connection element provided that carries the armrest, it leads in their longitudinal adjustment and holds them in their respective adjustment position.
  • the connecting element has a substantially U-shaped cross section, which serves to receive and guide the armrest.
  • guide rails mounted, which engage in the assembled state in corresponding, provided on the armrest, preferably provided on the outside, in particular on the outer longitudinal sides of the armrest guide grooves, then this not only serves to hold and guide the armrest.
  • a loss-resistant connection of armrest and connecting element can be made in a structurally simple way.
  • the guide grooves are open on one side, a particularly simple installation of the armrest on the connecting element is possible because the armrest must then be pushed with their guide only on the guide rails of the connecting element.
  • the guide grooves are then executed closed on the opposite side, so that the pushing of the armrest can only be performed from one side and thus fail-safe. It is particularly advantageous if at the same time a safety catch is provided which prevents the armrest once assembled from being inadvertently separated from the connecting element.
  • a directional locking mechanism is formed, which prevents removal of the connecting element from the guide grooves in a movement of the armrest in the longitudinal direction.
  • the directional block has a preferably integrally executed with the armrest, advantageously self-locking blocker, which protrudes into a guide so that it is pushed out during initial assembly of the armrest from the guide and then automatically returns to its the guide groove in the opposite direction blocking starting position. Again, no separate components are required for the provision of extract safety.
  • the connecting element has a preferably integrally connected to the U-base latching lug, which engages in the assembled state in provided on the underside of the armrest latching recesses a locking mechanism, preferably a Schubrastgesperre forms with frictional engagement.
  • the preferably self-locking latch serves as a latching latch and the latching recesses serve as latching grooves which define a number of locking positions arranged in the longitudinal direction of the armrest.
  • the locking lug is preferably formed such that the U-bottom of the connecting element at this point has a pointing in the corresponding direction bulge or other suitable deformation, so that an additional, serving as a latching component is not needed.
  • the armrest comprises an armrest support and an armrest cushion disposed on the armrest support.
  • the Armauflagenpolster covers at least one transverse side of the Armauflagenmois at least partially.
  • the armrest pad covers the armrest carrier up to its lower edge on at least one transverse side of the armrest. If the armrest pad covers the front transverse side of the armrest seen in the longitudinal direction, this results in a padded and therefore particularly non-slip support area for the fingers of the chair user. This allows a very comfortable longitudinal adjustment of the armrest.
  • this support area is positioned in an advantageous for a power transmission to the armrest angle, so that for a longitudinal adjustment, starting from the defined by the foremost position of the armrest starting position to the rear, particularly little force is needed.
  • the grip and handleability of the armrest is increased when the Armauflagenpolster the Armauflagenmoi also on the opposite transverse side of the armrest and / or covered on the long sides of the armrest as far as the guide grooves for allow the connector.
  • the armrest 1 for an office chair is composed of comparatively few components.
  • the armrest 1 includes, inter alia, a armrest support 2, a height-displaceable on the armrest support 2, designed in the manner of a sleeve armrest column 3 and one on the armrest column 3 longitudinally adjustable armrest 4.
  • An integrally formed on the vertical leg 5 of the armrest carrier 2 horizontal leg 6 is used to attach the armrest 1 to a base of the office chair.
  • a connecting element 7 is integrally mounted.
  • the connecting element 7 carries the armrest 4, performs the armrest 4 in its longitudinal adjustment and holds them firmly in their respective adjustment.
  • the connecting element 7 has a substantially U-shaped cross-section, which serves to receive and guide the armrest 4.
  • guide rails 9 are mounted, which engage in the assembled state in corresponding, provided on the outer longitudinal sides 11 of the armrest 4 guide grooves 12.
  • the guide grooves 12 are on one side, namely in the same longitudinal direction with the chair longitudinal direction 13 of the armrest 4 seen open to the rear. To assemble the armrest 4, it must be pushed with its guide grooves 12 only on the guide rails 9 of the connecting element 7.
  • the guide grooves 12 are executed on the opposite side, ie forward, closed.
  • a directional locking mechanism is formed which prevents removal of the connecting element 7 from the guide grooves 12 during a movement of the arm rest 4 in the longitudinal direction 13.
  • This pull-out protection is formed by projecting into the guide groove 12 locker 15, which are pushed out of the guide groove 12 during the initial assembly of the armrest 4 and then automatically in their the guide groove 12 return in the opposite direction blocking starting position.
  • the connecting element 7 has a one-piece connected to the U-base 16, defined by a bulge of the U-base 16,sfedernde locking lug 17 which in the assembled state in at the bottom 18 of the armrest 4th provided latching recesses 19 engaging a Schubrastgesperre forms.
  • the latching recesses 19 define a number of locking positions arranged in the longitudinal direction 13 of the armrest 4.
  • the armrest 4 comprises a Armauflagen too 21 and on the Armauf position carrier 21 arranged Armauflagenpolster 22.
  • the Armauflagenpolster 22 covers the seen in the longitudinal direction 13 front transverse side 23 of the armrest 4 to the lower edge 24 of the Armauflagenllys 21st
  • the armrest column 3 has an integrally connected with it actuator 26 for changing the height position of the armrest column 3.
  • the actuator 26 is integrated into the front pillar 27, in other words in the front side surface of the armrest column 3.
  • the actuator 26 is designed as a two-armed lever, which is connected to form the symbolically shown in the figures fulcrum lever 28 with adjacent side surface portions 29 of the armrest column 3.
  • the connection of the actuating element 26 to the armrest column 3 takes place in one piece via two material webs 31 at the lever longitudinal edges 32 opposite points.
  • the material webs 31 are in their material thickness and material properties designed so that they allow a deflection of the lever 26 at a sufficient pivot angle for a sufficient number of repetitions over the life of the armrest 1 sure.
  • the upper, pointing in the direction of the armrest 4 lever arm 33 has on its outer side a surface structuring 34 in the form of some ribs. On the other hand, it leads to improved operability of the actuator 26.
  • the actuator 26 is placed in the armrest column 3, that the position of the upper lever arm 33 easily one-handed operation of the height adjustment itself with a hand laid on the armrest 4 allows.
  • the lever arms 33, 43 of the actuator 26 are of different lengths, the lever lengths are adapted to the requirements for a safe and reliable operation of the height adjustment.
  • the upper lever arm 33 is shorter than the lower lever arm 43.
  • the invention is not limited to an exclusively longitudinally adjustable armrest, but is basically also applicable to such armrests, the armrest is additionally adjustable in transverse direction.
