Definitions

  • the invention relates to a backrest arrangement for seating furniture.
  • the invention further relates to a piece of furniture, in particular an office chair, with a seat support for a seat part and with the protruding backrest arrangement.
  • Lordosis is understood to mean a natural curvature of the abdomen, in particular of the lumbar spine.
  • a lumbar support is an element on a piece of furniture that supports the lumbar spine of a person sitting on the piece of furniture. If you sit upright for a long time, the muscles of the lumbar spine can become fatigued.
  • the lumbar support helps to maintain the natural posture of the lordosis.
  • the lumbar support is expediently arranged in the area of the lordosis on a backrest frame of the backrest.
  • Such lumbar supports are therefore mainly used in seating furniture on which people often sit continuously for a long period of time. These are, for example, office chairs.
  • lumbar supports are often arranged on the backrest or on the backrest frame so as to be vertically (height) adjustable by means of an adjusting device.
  • lumbar supports are also often adjustable in the depth direction in order to enable them to be adapted to the individual curvature of the lordosis.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a particularly suitable backrest.
  • the flap is hinged from a backrest surface spanned by the frame supports so as to be hinged at a pivot point on the elongated adjusting rail.
  • the flap is therefore preferably adjustable in the sagittal direction in the intended installation state.
  • the flap is power transmission technology for folding out coupled to a traction mechanism arranged (ie, in particular, held) on the adjusting rail.
  • the sagittal plane is understood to be the plane of the backrest arrangement or of the chair which corresponds to the sagittal plane of a user of the chair in an intended seating position.
  • the sagittal plane runs perpendicular to the seat surface and to the surface of the backrest, and the sagittal direction therefore essentially parallel to the seat surface and perpendicular to the surface of the backrest.
  • the force application point for generating the actuating force required to adjust the flap can be easily selected - particularly with regard to the distance to the flap - advantageously without a number of components or a correspondingly larger number of components To have to accept power transmission elements (e.g. gears) increased installation space.
  • power transmission elements e.g. gears
  • the flap preferably has a cheek-like support (comparable to a "cheek" of a "winged armchair") for the backrest textile.
  • this jaw-like support In the area of this jaw-like support, the width of the flap extending transversely to the sagittal plane is at least doubled.
  • the flap is also preferably narrow in the area of this jaw in comparison to the width of the backrest surface spanned by the frame supports.
  • the lumbar support adjusting device can be kept as inconspicuous as possible even with a net used as a backrest textile.
  • the flap is also arched transversely to the longitudinal direction of the frame support in the area of this cheek, so that the backrest textile is displayed locally (ie in particular in a wave-like manner) as if over a hump.
  • a lumbar support adjusting device is preferably arranged on each of the two frame supports.
  • the setting link is preferably shaped in such a way that in a neutral position (also referred to as the zero position), in which the flap is not folded out, it is oriented obliquely in the direction of the guide link, so that the sliding block is comparable to a wedge when adjusted in the unfolding direction the guide link and the setting link is moved and thus leads to an increasing unfolding of the flap.
  • the above-described setting link of the flap has several (i.e. at least two) locking recesses for the sliding block.
  • the sliding block for setting discrete positioning positions can lie in these locking recesses.
  • haptic feedback is also made possible when the protrusion of the lumbar support is set - which results from the backrest fabric bulged by the lumbar support adjusting device.
  • the flap In its neutral position, the flap preferably rests on the adjusting rail over its entire length.
  • the flap preferably overlaps the adjusting rail transversely to the sagittal plane.
  • the flap here has a groove in which the adjusting link is formed and in which the adjusting rail rests in the neutral position.
  • an adjusting element for applying the adjusting force acting on the flap to the traction means is arranged on one of the two ends of the adjusting rail.
  • This adjusting element is preferably a rotary knob, a type of winged screw head or the like, which is set up and provided for the rotary drive of the traction mechanism. Because the adjusting element is arranged at one end of the adjusting rail, the adjusting element is also arranged at the greatest possible distance from the flap, in particular from the pivot point. This is advantageous in that the positioning of the adjusting element in the longitudinal direction on the frame support can be relocated to an area that can be reached comparatively comfortably by the user of the chair.
  • the area of the lordosis of the lumbar spine is usually located in an area of the back that most people cannot reach comfortably, but usually only by twisting the upper body and / or the arms.
  • the actuating element is preferably arranged at the end pointing in the direction of the floor in the intended installation state.
  • the pivot point which is preferably located approximately centrally between the two ends - and / or at least approximately 5 to 20 cm, preferably approximately 15 cm from the lower end - the adjusting element is in an area that is comparatively easy to reach with a normal sitting posture on the seating furniture the backrest arrangement, in particular the backrest formed by means of this on the seating furniture.
  • the adjusting element preferably serves not only to apply the adjusting force for unfolding (or also folding in) the flap, but also for adjusting, specifically shifting, the entire lumbar support adjusting device in Longitudinal direction of the respective frame support.
  • the user of the seating furniture grabs the adjusting element both to “adjust the height” of the lumbar support and to adjust the depth (ie to bulge out or in) the lumbar support.
  • the lumbar support adjusting device is guided displaceably with the adjusting rail in a guide rail of the frame support, preferably a groove formed in the frame support. More preferably, only the flap protrudes from the guide rail, so that the entire lumbar support can be designed to be particularly inconspicuous.
  • the traction means is formed by a string of pearls, i. H. a string with balls (the “pearls") fixedly (i.e. immovable) thereon in discrete positions.
  • the beads are used for the positive transmission of force from the adjusting element to the traction mechanism.
  • the sliding block is preferably also held in a form-fitting manner on the traction means by means of the beads.
  • the traction means is formed by a chain (for example a type of bicycle chain), a belt (for example a toothed belt, V-belt, etc.), a rope or the like.
  • the seating furniture according to the invention represents in particular an office chair.
  • the seating furniture comprises a seat support for a seat part, on which a seat cushion is preferably arranged. Furthermore, the seating furniture comprises the backrest arrangement described above.
  • the seating furniture consequently has the features of the backrest arrangement described above and also their advantages.
  • a backrest arrangement referred to for short as backrest 1, for a piece of furniture, specifically an office chair (not shown in detail) is shown.
  • the backrest 1 has a backrest frame 2 which, when installed as intended, comprises two frame supports 6, which are oriented parallel to the sagittal plane 4 of the chair, for stretching a backrest textile (not shown).
  • the backrest textile is a network.
  • the backrest 1 has two lumbar support adjusting devices 8, which are each arranged on one of the frame supports 6.
  • the lumbar support adjusting devices 8 are in the longitudinal direction 10 (which runs parallel to the sagittal plane 4) of the respective frame support 6 (or also of the back of the user of the Seating furniture) slidably mounted on this.
  • the lumbar support adjusting devices 8 are each received in a guide rail 12, formed by a groove, of the respective frame support 6, and are mounted displaceably.
  • the lumbar support adjusting devices 8 are set up and provided to form, together with the network, an adjustable lumbar support that is adjustable in the vertical direction (i.e. in the longitudinal direction 10) and in terms of its depth, ie in the sagittal direction (in Fig. 2 i.e. from the plane of the sheet) is adjustable.
  • the lumbar support adjusting devices 8 each have a flap 20 for reversible bulging of the network.
  • the lumbar support adjustment devices 8 have an elongated, in the assembled state (see FIG. Fig. 1 and 2 ) adjusting rail 22 aligned along the respective frame support 6.
  • the flap 20 is pivotably articulated at a pivot point 24 of the adjusting rail 22, so that the flap 20 can be folded out of a backrest surface spanned by the frame supports 6 (cf. Fig. 4 , 8th ).
  • the flap 20 is hinged approximately in the middle on the adjusting rail 22.
  • the flap 20 is coupled in terms of force transmission to a traction mechanism 26 arranged on the adjusting rail 22 (cf. Fig. 5 , 7th , 8th ).
  • the traction mechanism 26 has two deflection rollers 30 arranged at the two ends 28 of the adjusting rail 22.
  • the traction mechanism 26 has a string of pearls 32 as the traction mechanism.
  • the lower deflection roller 30 forms a drive roller for the string of pearls 32.
  • this deflection roller 30 is coupled to an adjusting element, specifically a rotary knob 34.
  • the lower deflection roller 30 is spaced from the pivot point 24 by about 15 cm.
  • the rotary knob 34 is arranged in a manner easily accessible to a user of the office chair in the area of a lower section 36 of the backrest 1.
  • the rotary knob 34 serves not only to actuate the traction mechanism 26 but also as a handle for moving the entire Lumbar support adjusting device 8 in the longitudinal direction 10.
  • the respective rotary knob 34 is accessible from an outside of the backrest 1.
  • a guide slot 38 is formed on the adjusting rail 22.
  • a sliding block 40 which is coupled to the string of pearls 32 in a form-fitting manner, slides on this guide link 38.
  • the setting gate 42 is shaped in such a way that it is in a neutral position (see Fig. Fig. 3 , 6th , 7th and 8th ), in which the flap 20 is not folded away from the adjusting rail 22, is oriented obliquely in the direction of the guide slot 38 (see FIG. Fig. 7 ).
  • locking recesses 44 for the sliding block 40 are formed in the setting link 42 (see FIG. Figures 7-9 ).
  • the sliding block 40 can lie in these locking recesses 44, whereby discrete setting positions are specified.
  • the flap 20 has on the one hand a seen in profile (cf. Fig. 4 and 6 to 9 ) hump-like geometry on which the network can rest. As a result, when the flap 20 is folded out, a comparatively locally limited bulging or protrusion of the network and thus a protrusion of the lumbar support formed thereby is achieved.
  • the flap 20 has a support 46 that is widened in the manner of a jaw (see Fig. Fig. 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 ). Nevertheless, the width of the flap 20 is also narrow in the area of this support 46 compared to the width of the backrest surface spanned by the frame girders 6 (cf. Fig. 1 , 2 ).
  • the setting link 42 of the flap 20 is also arranged in a groove 48 of the flap 20.
  • This groove 48 is dimensioned such that the flap 20 engages around the adjusting rail 22 on the outside at least in the neutral position (cf. Fig. 7 ).
  • the respective lumbar support adjusting device 8 is arranged in the associated guide rail 12 of the frame support 6 in such a way that mostly only the flap 20 can be seen on the outside.
  • a groove-like recess 50 running in the longitudinal direction 10 is incorporated into the setting slot 42, in which the string of pearls 32 can run when the flap 20 is not fully unfolded, whereas the sliding block 40 is on the actual sliding surface 52 of the setting slot 42, which is raised opposite the recess 50 rests.
  • the flap 20 can encompass the adjusting rail 22 particularly far.
