Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Stuhl gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a chair according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiger Stuhl ist in der EP 3 108 768 B1 beschrieben, die auf den gleichen Erfinder zurückgeht, wie die vorliegende Erfindung.Such a chair is in the EP 3 108 768 B1 described, which goes back to the same inventor as the present invention.

Bei dem bekannten Stuhl hat das Stützelement im Wesentlichen die Form einer Kugel, an deren Außenumfang die Achselemente angeordnet sind.In the known chair, the support element has essentially the shape of a ball, on the outer circumference of which the axis elements are arranged.

Bedingt durch die Kugelform des Stützelementes und die an die Mantelfläche der Kugel anschließenden Achselemente hat das bekannte Kopplungselement in horizontaler Richtung einen relativ großen Raumbedarf, der bei Stühlen häufig nicht verfügbar ist.Due to the spherical shape of the support element and the axis elements adjoining the outer surface of the ball, the known coupling element has a relatively large space requirement in the horizontal direction, which is often not available in chairs.

Bei einem in der DE 20 2004 005 366 U1 beschriebenen Stuhl ist zwischen dem Sitzträger und einem den Sitzträger tragenden Fußgestell eine Wippmechanik angeordnet, die eine Neigung des Sitzträgers gegenüber der Horizontalen sowohl in einer vorne/hinten-Richtung als auch einer rechts/links-Richtung des Sitzträgers ermöglicht. Die Wippmechanik (30) enthält einen mittigen Rohrabschnitt (40b) zur Aufnahme der Stuhlsäule (24) des Fußgestells und einen integral mit dem Rohabschnitt (40b) ausgebildeten umlaufenden Plattenabschnitt (40a), der auf Federblöcken (38, 42) abgestützt ist. Die Wippmechanik ist in einem unteren Gehäuseteil (34) untergebracht, in den ein oberes Gehäuseteil (32) eingepasst ist, wobei das Gehäuseteil (34) fest mit dem Sitzträger verbunden ist.With one in the DE 20 2004 005 366 U1 The chair described is arranged between the seat support and a foot frame supporting the seat support, a rocking mechanism which enables the seat support to be inclined relative to the horizontal in both a front / rear direction and a right / left direction of the seat support. The rocking mechanism (30) contains a central tube section (40b) for receiving the chair column (24) of the base frame and a circumferential plate section (40a) which is formed integrally with the raw section (40b) and which is supported on spring blocks (38, 42). The rocker mechanism is housed in a lower housing part (34) into which an upper housing part (32) is fitted, the housing part (34) being firmly connected to the seat support.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Stuhl mit einem Kopplungselement zu schaffen, das gegenüber dem Stuhl gemäß der EP 3 108 768 B1 einen verringerten Raumbedarf hat.The invention has for its object to provide a chair with a coupling element that the chair according to the EP 3 108 768 B1 has a reduced space requirement.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dienen die Merkmale des Kennzeichens des Patentanspruchs 1. Auf diese Weise kann der Platz- bzw. Raumbedarf für das Kopplungselement, verglichen mit dem bekannten, in der EP 3 108 768 B1 beschriebenen Stuhl, entsprechend den Höhen der beiden Kugelsegmente in horizontaler Richtung beträchtlich verringert werden.The features of the characterizing part of patent claim 1 serve to achieve this object EP 3 108 768 B1 described chair, according to the heights of the two spherical segments can be significantly reduced in the horizontal direction.

Die Achselemente haben vorzugsweise eine längliche Quaderform, deren Längsachsen rechtwinklig zu den Achsen X, Y verlaufen.The axis elements preferably have an elongated cuboid shape, the longitudinal axes of which are perpendicular to the axes X, Y.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind in die untere Halbschale elastisch verformbare Elemente eingesetzt, die rechteckige Stützflächen für die Unterseiten der quaderförmigen Achselemente aufweisen.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, elastically deformable elements are inserted into the lower half-shell, which have rectangular support surfaces for the undersides of the rectangular axis elements.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, dass in die obere Halbschale elastisch verformbare Elemente eingesetzt sind, die rechteckige Stützflächen für die Oberseiten der Achselemente aufweisen.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, it is proposed that elastically deformable elements are used in the upper half shell, which have rectangular support surfaces for the upper sides of the axle elements.

Die elastisch verformbaren Elemente können vorzugsweise mittels streifenförmiger Verbindungselemente miteinander verbunden sein, die bei fest miteinander verbundenen unteren und oberen Halbschalen zwischen diesen eingeklemmt sind. Damit können die elastisch verformbaren Elemente zur Vereinfachung der Montage als Einheit in die unteren und ggf. oberen Halbschalen eingesetzt werden.The elastically deformable elements can preferably be connected to one another by means of strip-shaped connecting elements which are clamped between them when the lower and upper half-shells are firmly connected to one another. The elastically deformable elements can thus be used as a unit in the lower and possibly upper half-shells to simplify assembly.
