Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Wippmechanik für ein aktivdynamisches Sitzmöbel, insbesondere einen Sitz oder einen Stuhl, um eine Wippbewegung des Sitzes des Sitzmöbels zu ermöglichen, sowie ein Sitzmöbel, welches mit einem solchen Wippechanismus ausgestattet ist.The invention relates to a Wippmechanik for an active dynamic seating, in particular a seat or a chair to allow a rocking movement of the seat of the chair, and a seating, which is equipped with such a rocker mechanism.
Vor und zurück kippbare oder bewegbare Sitzvorrichtungen und Stühle sind z. B. bereits im Bereich der Aufstehhilfen bekannt und weisen in der üblichen Bauart, elektrisch unterstützte Elemente wie Stellmotoren, Gasdruckzylinder, Federn oder andere Hebevorrichtungen auf. Diese werden vom Benutzer oder einer anderen Person gesteuert und unterstützen den Benutzer des Möbels durch Reduzierung der Kraftanstrengung und Eigenbewegung beim Verlassen der Sitzposition. Solche Lösungen werden bislang meist über Bewegungsabläufe über Kurvenverläufe um eine feste Drehachse realisiert. Um die Mobilität für ältere und bewegungseingeschränkte Personen beim Aufstehen und Hinsetzen weitestgehend zu erhalten, kommen hauptsächlich bekannte Produkte wie Aufstehsessel, autarke Aufstehhilfen für Stühle, o. ä. zum Einsatz.Back and forth tiltable or movable seating devices and chairs are z. B. already known in the field of stand-up aids and have in the usual design, electrically assisted elements such as actuators, gas cylinder, Springs or other lifting devices. These are controlled by the user or another person and help the user of the furniture by reducing the effort and self-movement when leaving the sitting position. So far, such solutions have mostly been realized by means of sequences of movements over curves around a fixed axis of rotation. In order to maintain the mobility for elderly and restrained persons when getting up and sitting as far as possible, are mainly known products such as chairs, stand-alone support for chairs, o. Ä. Used.
Allerdings zielen diese Mechanismen darauf ab, dass das Verlassen der Sitzposition vereinfacht wird, nicht um dynamische Bewegungen beim Sitzen auszuführen. Neben dieser Unterstützungsfunktion gibt es jedoch auch einen zunehmenden Bedarf an Bewegungsmöglichkeiten eines Sitznutzers auf einem Stuhl. Insbesondere sollen Bewegungen beim Sitzen möglich sein, die verbesserte Durchblutung der Beine, eine Sitzpositionsänderung, die Änderung der Körperhaltung etc. ermöglichen.However, these mechanisms aim to make it easier to leave sitting position, not to perform dynamic movements while seated. In addition to this support function, however, there is also an increasing need for movement opportunities of a seat occupant on a chair. In particular, movements while sitting should be possible, the improved circulation of the legs, a seating position change, the change of posture, etc. allow.
Aus der Praxis sind auch Stühle bekannt, bei denen die Sitzfläche mitsamt der Rückenlehne beispielsweise zwischen einer Arbeitsstellung und einer so genannten Relax-Stellung um eine Kippachse nach hinten gekippt werden kann. Die dazu erforderlichen Kippbeschläge sind häufig aufwendig und erfordern eine erhebliche Bauhöhe, so dass beispielsweise an Bürostühlen und ähnlichen Funktionsstühlen derartige Funktionsbeschläge akzeptiert werden, im häuslichen oder privaten Bereich hingegen derartige Funktionsbeschläge häufig aus rein ästhetischen Überlegungen nicht erwünscht sind. Ferner bieten solche Sitze keine Bewegungsmöglichkeiten im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung. Ausgangspunkt ist es, eine aktivdynamsiche Vor-und Rückbewegung und vorzugsweise auch eine Bewegung in seitlicher Richtung auf dem Sitz durch den Sitznutzer zuzulassen.From practice chairs are also known in which the seat can be tilted together with the backrest, for example, between a working position and a so-called relax position about a tilt axis backwards. The tilting fittings required for this are often expensive and require a considerable height, so that such functional fittings are accepted, for example, on office chairs and similar function chairs, in the home or private sector, however, such functional fittings are often not desirable purely for aesthetic considerations. Furthermore, such seats offer no movement possibilities in the context of the present invention. The starting point is to allow an active dynamic forward and backward movement and preferably also a movement in the lateral direction on the seat by the seat occupant.
Zudem besteht eine bekannte Schwierigkeit darin, eine Abstimmung der Beweglichkeit zwischen der Sitzfläche und der Rückenlehne zu erzielen. Es ist z. B. bekannt, auch in der Rückenlehne zwei relativ zueinander bewegliche Bereiche vorzusehen, indem ein oberer Abschnitt der Rückenlehne gegenüber einem unteren Abschnitt nach hinten abgewinkelt werden kann.In addition, a known difficulty is to achieve a coordination of the mobility between the seat and the backrest. It is Z. B. known to provide two relatively movable areas in the backrest by an upper portion of the backrest can be angled towards a lower portion to the rear.
Aus der
Die hierzu vorgeschlagene Kipp- und Verstellmechanik ist jedoch aufwändig und komplex, was zu hohen Kosten für einen solchen Stuhl führt.However, the proposed tilt and adjustment mechanism is complex and complex, which leads to high costs for such a chair.
Es besteht ein Bedürfnis danach einen Stuhl bereitzustellen mit einer stabilen, jedoch einfach herzustellenden Kippmechanik, die zumal für unterschiedliche Sitzschalenformen und Stuhltypen verwendbar ist. Ferner soll die Mechanik möglichst ansprechend ausgebildet sein, so dass diese Stühle z. B. auch im privaten Wohnbereich oder in Bereichen mit einem gewissen Anspruch auf ein ansprechendes Design einsetzbar sind. Die Erfindung zielt ferner auf ein Bewegungsmuster ab, das physiognomisch einem dynamischen Sitzen am ehesten entspricht.There is a need to provide a chair with a stable, yet easy to produce tilting mechanism, which is particularly suitable for different types of seat shell and chair types. Furthermore, the mechanism should be designed as appealing as possible, so that these chairs z. B. are also used in the private residential or in areas with a certain claim to an attractive design. The invention further aims at a movement pattern which physiognomically corresponds to dynamic sitting most closely.
Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, vorbesagte Aufgaben zu lösen und einen Stuhl mit einer Wippmechanik bereit zu stellen, welche die weiteren Merkmale aufweist, ästhetisch ansprechend zu sein, einfach und kostengünstig in der Herstellung und auch ausreichende Stabilität für Sitznutzer mit höherem Körpergewicht bei der Bewegung sicherstellt.The invention is therefore based on the object to solve the above objects and to provide a chair with a tilt mechanism, which has the other features to be aesthetically pleasing, simple and inexpensive to manufacture and also sufficient stability for seat users with higher body weight in the Ensures movement.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmalskombination gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the feature combination according to
Ein Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin einen elastisch federnden Wippmechanismus bereit zu stellen, auf dem ein Sitzteil befestigt wird, um aktivdynamische Bewegungen des Sitznutzers zu ermöglichen. Der erfindungsgemäße Wippmechanismus wird aus gegenläufig angeordneten, vorzugsweise sich überkreuzenden Hebelarmen gebildet, mittels dessen eine Wippbewegung mit dem Sitzteil nach vorne und nach hinten und vorzugsweise auch seitlich erfolgen kann.A basic idea of the invention is to provide an elastically resilient rocking mechanism, on which a seat part is fastened, in order to enable actively dynamic movements of the seat occupant. The rocker mechanism according to the invention is formed of oppositely arranged, preferably crossing lever arms, by means of which a rocking movement with the seat part forward and backward, and preferably also can take place laterally.
Erfindungsgemäß wird hierzu ein Wippmechanismus für einen Sitz bereitgestellt sowie ein Sitzmöbel mit einem solchen Wippmechanismus. Bei Verwendung an einem Stuhl ist dieser mit einem Traggestell ausgebildet, welches das Sitzteil mit einer Sitzfläche trägt, wobei das Traggestell mit dem federnden Wippmechanismus ausgebildet ist und dadurch das Sitzteil federbeweglich am Traggestell gelagert ist, so dass wippende Bewegungen des Sitzteils ausgeführt werden können. Die Bewegung des Sitzes, der mit einem solchen Wippmechanismus verbunden ist, lässt sich als eine Wippbewegung mit einr dynamisch hin- und her wandernden Drehachse beschreiben.According to the invention, a rocker mechanism for a seat is provided for this purpose, as well as a seat with such a rocker mechanism. When used on a chair this is formed with a support frame which carries the seat part with a seat surface, wherein the support frame is formed with the resilient rocker mechanism and thereby the seat part is spring-mounted on the support frame, so that rocking movements of the seat part can be performed. The movement of the seat associated with such a rocking mechanism can be described as a rocking motion with a rotationally reciprocating axis of rotation.
Der federnde Wippmechanismus bildet einen ersten Bügel umfassend wenigstens einen Hebelarm aus, der jeweils mit einem hinteren Teil des Traggestells verbunden ist sowie einen zweiten Bügel mit wenigstens einem Hebelarm, der oder die jeweils mit einem vorderen Teil des Traggestells verbunden ist bzw. sind, wobei sich der oder die Hebelarme des ersten Bügels im Wesentlichen in eine nach vorne gerichtete Richtung (schräg nach oben) erstrecken, während sich der oder die Hebelarme des zweiten Bügels in eine im Wesentlichen nach hinten gerichtete Richtung (schräg nach oben) erstrecken.The resilient rocking mechanism forms a first bracket comprising at least one lever arm, which is respectively connected to a rear part of the support frame and a second bracket with at least one lever arm, the or each of which is connected to a front part of the support frame, wherein the one or more lever arms of the first bracket substantially in a forward direction (obliquely upward), while the or the lever arms of the second bracket in extending in a substantially rearward direction (obliquely upward).
Dadurch entsteht eine Überkreuzung der Hebelarme der beiden Bügel.This creates a crossover of the lever arms of the two brackets.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Sitzteil (bzw. die Unterseite des Sitzteils) am federnden Wippmechanismus so gehalten ist, dass die Sitzfläche von einer Ausgangsposition sowohl in eine nach vorne als auch nach hinten gekippte ausgelenkte Position entgegen der Federkraft von elastischen Elementen betätigt werden kann. Bei einem Wippen nach vorne wird die vordere Kante des Sitzteils nach unten bewegt, während die hintere Kante des Sitzteils in ihrer relativen Höhenlage bleibt oder nach oben bewegt wird, so dass sich eine mit dem Sitzteil verbundene Rückenlehne nach vorne neigt. Bei einem Kippen nach hinten wird die hintere Kante des Sitzteils nach unten bewegt, während die hintere Kante des Sitzteils in ihrer relativen Höhenlage bleibt oder nach unten bewegt wird, so dass sich eine mit dem Sitzteil verbundene Rückenlehne nach hinten neigt. Bei dieser wippenden Vor- und Rückbewegung werden die elastischen Elemente, an denen die Hebelarme befestigt sind, elastisch verformt. Hierzu sind bevorzugt elastisch verformbare Scheiben oder elastische Distanzelemente an den Bügeln bzw. den Hebelarmen an den Verbindungspositionen mit dem Sitzteil und weiter bevorzugt an den Verbindungspositionen mit einem Tragegestell oder einem Träger angebracht. Die elastischen Elemente können dabei auch aus mehreren getrennten elastischen Elementen gebildet werden, die in geeigneter Anordnung übereinander an den Befestigungspunkten bzw. Verbindungspositionen zum Stuhlteil und Traggestell hin angebracht sind. Die Hebelarme werden dabei mit Vorteil "sandwichartig" von wenigstens zwei elastisch verformbaren Elementen umgeben. Weiter vorteilhaft ist es, wenn sich mittels einer Betätigungsvorrichtung oder Verstellvorrichtung die Vorspannung bzw. die Elastizität und/oder Federeigenschaft der elastisch verformbaren Elemente einstellen lässt, so dass dies eine unmittelbare Auswirkung auf die Bewegungscharakteristik der Wippbewegung hat.In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the seat part (or the underside of the seat part) is held on the resilient rocker mechanism so that the seat surface of a starting position both in a forward and backward tilted deflected position against the spring force of elastic Elements can be operated. When rocking forward, the front edge of the seat portion is moved downwardly while the rear edge of the seat portion remains at its relative height or is moved upwardly so that a backrest connected to the seat portion tilts forward. When tilted backwards, the rear edge of the seat part is moved downwards while the rear edge of the seat part remains in its relative height position or is moved downwards so that a backrest connected to the seat part tilts backwards. In this rocking back and forth movement, the elastic elements on which the lever arms are fixed, elastically deformed. For this purpose, preferably elastically deformable discs or elastic spacer elements are attached to the brackets or the lever arms at the connection positions with the seat part and more preferably at the connection positions with a support frame or a carrier. The elastic elements can also be formed from a plurality of separate elastic elements, which in a suitable arrangement one above the other at the attachment points or connection positions to the chair part and support frame out are attached. The lever arms are thereby advantageously "sandwiched" surrounded by at least two elastically deformable elements. It is also advantageous if the pretension or the elasticity and / or spring property of the elastically deformable elements can be adjusted by means of an actuating device or adjusting device, so that this has an immediate effect on the movement characteristic of the rocking movement.
Besonders geeignet ist eine Ausgestaltung bei der am ersten und zweiten Bügel jeweils Befestigungspunkte vorzugsweise montiert an bzw. mit elastischen Distanzscheiben vorgesehen sind, an denen das Sitzteil befestigt ist.Particularly suitable is an embodiment in which at the first and second bracket respectively attachment points are preferably mounted on or provided with elastic spacers on which the seat part is attached.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass wenigstens einer der Bügel zwei Hebelarme besitzt und die beiden Hebelarme dieses Bügels durch einen Verbindungsarm u-förmig miteinander verbunden sind.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that at least one of the bracket has two lever arms and the two lever arms of this bracket are connected by a connecting arm U-shaped with each other.
Weiter ist mit Vorteil vorgesehen, dass beide Bügel je zwei Hebelarme besitzen und diese durch je einen Verbindungsarm u-förmig miteinander verbunden sind. Bevorzugt ragt dar eine Bügel durch die u-förmige Öffnung des anderen Bügel schräg hindurch, so dass sich die Hebelarme der Bügel überkreuzen.Next is provided with advantage that both brackets each have two lever arms and these are connected by a respective connecting arm U-shaped with each other. Preferably, a bracket projects through the U-shaped opening of the other bracket obliquely, so that the lever arms of the bracket cross over.
In einer ebenfalls vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der weitere Bügel einen Halteabschnitt bestehend aus zwei Haltearme besitzt mit denen der Bügel jeweils an dem vorderen Teil des Traggestells verbunden ist und sich ein Hebelarm vom Halteabschnitt weg, schräg nach oben in eine Richtung im Wesentlichen zum hinteren Teil hin erstreckt.In a likewise advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the further bracket has a holding portion consisting of two retaining arms with which the bracket is respectively connected to the front part of the support frame and a lever arm away from the holding portion, obliquely upward in one direction substantially extends to the rear part.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung besitzt das Traggestell vier Stuhlbeine, die von unten nach oben schräg aufeinander zu verlaufen (vorzugsweise eine Pyramidenform ausbilden) und die Bügel an den oberen Stuhlbeinenden der Stuhlbeine mittelbar oder unmittelbar mit diesen verbunden sind.In a preferred embodiment, the support frame has four chair legs, which run obliquely from bottom to top (preferably form a pyramid shape) and the brackets are connected to the upper chair leg ends of the chair legs directly or indirectly with these.
Eine unmittelbare Verbindung kann z. B. durch eine die oberen Stuhlbeinenden verbindende Kopfplatte oder H-förmige Verbindungsstruktur erfolgen aus der Montagebolzen oder Verbindungselemente angebracht sind an oder mit denen die jeweiligen Bügel an ihren Halteabschnitten befestigt sind.An immediate connection can z. B. by a top chair legs connecting the top plate or H-shaped connection structure made of the mounting bolts or fasteners are attached to or with which the respective bracket are attached to their holding sections.
Besonders von Vorteil ist dabei eine Ausführung eines Traggestells, wobei der Verlauf des ersten Bügels wie folgt ausgebildet ist:
- ein Halteabschnitt des ersten Hebelarms ist unmittelbar oberhalb eines ersten z. B. hinteren Stuhlbeins befestigt oder mit diesem mittelbar oder unmittelbar über elastisch verformbare Lagerelemente (Scheiben) verbunden;
- der Hebelarm verläuft dann schräg hoch nach vorne zu einem ersten Sitzteilbefestigungspunkt für das Sitzteil an dem ebenfalls wenigstens ein elastisch verformbares Lager zum Sitzteil hin angebracht ist;
- von diesem ersten Sitzteilbefestigungspunkt des ersten Bügels verläuft ein Verbindungsarm des Bügels zu einem zweiten Sitzteilbefestigungspunkt an den sich der zweite Hebelarm des Bügels anschließt (hier ist ebenfalls wenigstens ein elastisch verformbares Lager in Richtung zum Stuhl hin am Befestigungspunkt vorgesehen);
- der zweite Hebelarm verläuft in Richtung zu einem zweiten (demnach) hinteren Stuhlbein schräg nach unten und hinten (sozusagen in etwa parallel zum ersten Hebelarm) und ist mit seinem Halteabschnitt unmittelbar oberhalb des zweiten hinteren Stuhlbeins über ein elastisch verformbares Lager befestigt bzw. mit diesem mittelbar darüber verbunden.
- a holding portion of the first lever arm is immediately above a first z. B. rear chair leg attached or connected to this indirectly or directly via elastically deformable bearing elements (discs);
- the lever arm then extends obliquely high to the front to a first seat part attachment point for the seat part to which at least one elastically deformable bearing is also attached to the seat part;
- from this first seat attachment point of the first bracket, a connecting arm of the bracket extends to a second seat attachment point adjoining the second lever arm of the bracket (here also at least one elastically deformable bearing towards the chair is provided at the attachment point);
- the second lever arm extends in the direction of a second (thus) rear chair leg obliquely downwards and backwards (so to speak, approximately parallel to the first lever arm) and is fastened with its holding section directly above the second rear chair leg via an elastically deformable bearing or with this indirectly connected to it.
Hierdurch wird ein u-förmiger Bügel erhalten, welcher mit seinen jeweiligen Halteabschnitten jeweils unmittelbar oberhalb von den zwei hinteren Stuhlbeinen befestigt ist.In this way, a U-shaped bracket is obtained, which is fastened with its respective holding portions each directly above the two rear chair legs.
Weiter vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Verlauf des zweiten Bügels wie folgt ausgebildet ist:
- zwei Haltearme des zweiten Bügels bilden einen Halteabschnitt mit zwei mit elastisch verformbaren Lagerelementen ausgestatteten Befestigungspunkten für diesen Bügel und diese sind jeweils endseitig unmittelbar oberhalb eines jeweils vorderen Stuhlbeins befestigt bzw. jeweils mit diesem mittelbar über elastische Lager verbunden;
- ein Hebelarm schließt sich an den Halteabschnitt an und verläuft nach schräg hinten und geht über in einen v-fömigen Befestigungsabschnitt für das Sitzteil, bestehend aus zwei Befestigungsarmen an deren Armenden jeweils elastisch verformbare Lager und Sitzteilbefestigungspunkte für das Sitzteil angebracht sind.
- two retaining arms of the second bracket form a holding portion with two equipped with elastically deformable bearing elements attachment points for this bracket and these are respectively attached to the end immediately above a respective front chair leg or respectively indirectly connected via this elastic bearing;
- a lever arm connects to the holding portion and extends obliquely behind and merges into a v-fömigen mounting portion for the seat part, consisting of two mounting arms at the arm ends each elastically deformable bearing and seat attachment points are mounted for the seat part.
Hierdurch wird ein in etwa H-förmiger Bügel erhalten, welcher mit seinen traggestellseitigen Halteabschnitten jeweils unmittelbar oberhalb von den zwei vorderen Stuhlbeinen befestigt ist.As a result, an approximately H-shaped bracket is obtained, which is fastened with its support-side holding portions each directly above the two front chair legs.
Somit ragt der eine Bügel schräg hoch nach hinten und der andere Bügel schräg hoch nach vorne und die Hebelarme der beiden Bügel überkreuzen sich dazwischen.Thus, the one bracket protrudes obliquely high to the rear and the other bracket obliquely high to the front and the lever arms of the two brackets intersect between them.
Somit ist mit Vorteil vorgesehen, dass die beiden Bügel mit ihren jeweiligen Halteabschnitten mittelbar über elastisch verformbare Lager an Verbindungsmittel, vorzugsweise unter Verwendung elastisch verformbarer Distanzscheiben am Traggestell jeweils im Bereich der Stuhlbeinenden befestigt sind, so dass die elastischen Eigenschaften für die Wippbeweglichkeit zumindest teilweise oder überwiegend aus der elastischen Verformbarkeit der elastischen Distanzscheiben oder elastisch verformbaren Distanzelemente erfolgt. Hierzu wird bevorzugt jeweils ein unteres elastisch verformbares Auflager und eine obere elastisch verformbare Klemmscheibe an den jeweiligen Befestigungspunkten vorgesehen, zwischen denen der Halteabschnitt des jeweiligen Bügels eingespannt und zwar sozusagen "sandwichartig" eingespannt ist.Thus, it is advantageously provided that the two brackets are fastened with their respective holding sections indirectly via elastically deformable bearings to connecting means, preferably using elastically deformable spacers on the support frame in each case in the region of the chair leg ends that the elastic properties for the Wippbeweglichkeit takes place at least partially or predominantly from the elastic deformability of the elastic spacers or elastically deformable spacer elements. For this purpose, a lower elastically deformable support and an upper elastically deformable clamping disc are preferably provided at the respective attachment points, between which the holding portion of the respective bracket is clamped and that is, as it were, "sandwiched" clamped.
In einer vergleichbaren Weise sind auch die Befestigungspunkte zum Befestigen des Sitzteils ausgebildet. Ein endseitiger Abschnitt des jeweiligen Bügels wird zwischen einem sitzteilseitigen elastisch verformbaren Distanzelement und einer elastisch verformbare Klemmscheibe eingespannt und zwar ebenfalls "sandwichartig".In a comparable manner, the attachment points for attaching the seat part are formed. An end-side portion of the respective bracket is clamped between a seat part side elastically deformable spacer element and an elastically deformable clamping disc and indeed also "sandwiched".
Die gewünschte Elastizität des Wippmechanismus lässt sich insofern je nach Material und Geometrie der beteiligten elastischen Elemente entsprechend einstellen.
In einer anderen bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind das Traggestell und der Wippmechanismus einstückig ausgebildet, vorzugsweise aus einem Rohrmaterial geformt. Das so erhaltene Rohrgestell besitzt ebenfalls zwei u-fömige Bügel. An den Querverbindungen der u-förmigen Bügel ist das Sitzteil über, wie zuvor beschriebenen elastisch verformbaren Lagerelemente befestigt.The desired elasticity of the rocking mechanism can be adjusted accordingly, depending on the material and geometry of the elastic elements involved.
In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the support frame and the rocking mechanism are integrally formed, preferably formed from a tube material. The tubular frame thus obtained also has two u-shaped bracket. At the cross connections of the U-shaped stirrups, the seat part is attached via elastically deformable bearing elements as described above.
