Definitions

  • the present invention relates according to claim 1 to an ergonomically adjustable reclining device for one or more persons.
  • a conventional non-ergonomic lounger usually has only a limited range of adjustment (approx. 4 positions) between sitting and lying positions, or requires a lot of effort to adjust. In addition to being uncomfortable, it is often difficult or awkward to leave the position you have already adopted without having to get up from the lounger.
  • the bend or the axis of rotation is only in the back area and causes back tension or pressure points when leaning back for a long time, which can only be avoided by adding an additional cushion or padded support.
  • the DE8626550 U1 a recliner whose seat and backrest are arranged between two parallel, upwardly convexly curved supports and are supported on these, wherein the backrest, which is adjustable in inclination, is pivotably mounted on the seat in its lower region about a horizontal transverse axis, wherein at the front end of the seat (40) a leg rest (45) arranged between the two supports and supported on these is pivotably mounted about a further horizontal transverse axis (48).
  • the DE 10301326 A1 shows a piece of seating furniture, in particular an armchair, with a base body on which a seat is formed, and with armrests arranged to the side of the seat, wherein the armrests can be adjusted from a sitting position to a lying position, in which surfaces of the armrests form a lying surface or part of a lying surface, such that a piece of reclining furniture is formed in the lying position.
  • the US 5344216 A a sofa or armchair, the end of which consists of a lifting or armrest part, the backrest with an adjustment and locking device located therein. If the position adjustment of the backrest is to take place in predetermined steps, the surfaces of the locking device and the corresponding surfaces of the armrests can be roughened at the points or provided with teeth, slots in order to increase the locking effect of the locking device.
  • the device comprises a right and a left side part, each of which is constructed from at least an outer side part and an inner side part, a backrest element and a seat element, which are rotatably connected to one another via a first bearing rod, and a foot part element, which is rotatably connected to the seat element via a second bearing rod, wherein the foot part element is mounted between the right and left side parts via a third bearing rod, wherein the first, second and third bearing rods are each mounted in a corresponding guide in the right and left side parts so that they can be moved in a translational manner such that the backrest element, the seat element and the foot part element can be variably adjusted between a substantially horizontal position and an ergonomic sitting position, and wherein the first bearing rod is locked by self-locking via a locking slide in a locking recess in at least one outer side part, and wherein the self-locking can be canceled by the user via a hand knob.
  • the ergonomic reclining device according to the invention due to the interconnected elements, which can each be moved translationally in a corresponding guide in the right and left side parts, the self-locking is removed when the user operates the hand knob and the reclining device can be continuously and variably adjusted between the sitting ergonomic position and the lying ergonomic position. It is particularly advantageous that, due to the self-locking, no action is required by the user to maintain the adopted ergonomic position. In addition, it is not necessary for the user to get up from the reclining device according to the invention if the reclining device is to be variably adjusted between the sitting ergonomic position and the lying ergonomic position, since the user only has to operate the hand knob to continuously and variably adjust the position.
  • the first bearing rod extends through an arcuate milling of the inner side part and is inserted into a slot in the slider for variable adjustment of the position between a Essentially horizontal position and an ergonomic sitting position when the self-locking is released by means of the hand knob.
  • the slider is guided in a guide of the inner side part, so that the movement of the slider is guided from two sides and thus the self-locking is facilitated.
  • the locking slide is displaced by actuating the hand knob in the locking recess while removing the self-locking, wherein the self-locking is generated by wedging the locking slide in the locking recess when the hand knob is no longer actuated by the user.
  • the backrest element is mounted so that it can rotate about a rotation axis between the right and left side parts, with the rotation axis and the first bearing rod determining the position of the backrest element.
  • a first rod, a second rod and a third rod are provided between the right and left side parts for stabilization, which together form a triangle, and wherein the first and third rods form the base of the triangle and each represent the receptacle of a wheel for the rolling movement of the recliner or for rolling the recliner across the floor.
  • the right and left side parts as well as the backrest element, the seat element and the foot part element are made of wood, since these parts of the device according to the invention can be manufactured in a simple and cost-effective manner despite their conceptually extensive structure.
  • the right and left side parts as well as the backrest element, the seat element and the foot part element are made of plastic, since these parts of the device according to the invention can be manufactured in a simple and cost-effective manner despite their conceptually extensive structure.
  • the right and left side parts as well as the backrest element, the seat element and the foot part element are made of metal, since these parts of the device according to the invention can be manufactured in a simple and cost-effective manner despite their conceptually extensive structure.
  • Fig.1 shows a perspective schematic overall view of the lying device 10 according to the invention with rungs 140 (see Fig.6 ) of the ergonomic lounger, where the outer 60 (see Fig.5 ) and inside 80 (see Fig.5 ) side parts are shown transparent. Not shown are the reinforcements (wooden strips) 160 (see Fig.7 ), which after inserting the rungs 140 (see Fig.6 ) into the notches 98 (see Fig.6 ) of the side panels 90/130 (see Fig.5 ) (Detail 150, see Fig.6 ) are glued onto them (see Fig.7 ) to guarantee the strength (prevention of bending fracture due to excessive load) of the backrests.
  • the reinforcements wooden strips
  • Fig. 2 shows in perspective the already assembled lying surfaces (backrest 23, seat 24 and footrest 25) in different positions (but without the interaction between the outer 60 (see Fig.5 ) and inside 80 (see Fig.5 ) Side panels and slider 70 (see Fig.5 ).
  • the sitting position 20 is shown with the backrest 23 upright, the seat 24 lowered and the footrest 25 angled.
  • the half-reclining position 21 is shown with the slanted backrest 23, the seat 24 half raised and the footrest 25 half raised.
  • the reclining position 22 is shown with the horizontal backrest 23, the horizontal seat 24 and the horizontal footrest 25. Any position can be set between these extremes and is held there by means of the self-locking function described below.
  • the self-locking is created by the interaction of the following components bearing stock 102 (see Fig.5 ), an arc-shaped or 1 ⁇ 4-circular milling 82 (see Fig.5 ), slide 70 with corresponding long hole 71 (see Fig.5 ) and the hand knob 50/51 (see Fig.5 ), as well as the milled guides or locking recess 61 in the outer side part 60 and the milled guide 81 in the inner side part 80 (see Fig.5 ).
  • the self-locking mechanism is based on the friction principle. This means that the slide 70 with its obliquely milled long hole 71 (see Fig.5 ) is provided by the bearing block 102 (see Fig.5 ) is pressed either upwards or downwards, depending on whether the seat is loaded or unloaded. When the seat is loaded, it is pushed downwards, when the seat is unloaded, it is pushed upwards. This is achieved by the form fit of the slide 70 (see Fig.5 ), with the upper or lower edge of the milled recess 61 in the side part 60 (see Fig.5 ) creates friction between these surfaces.
  • the slide 70 like two opposing but interconnected wedges, which are located between the bearing block 102 (see Fig.5 ) and the respective upper and lower edges of the milled recess 61 in the side part 60 (see Fig.5 ) jam.
  • the slider 70 Only when the bearing block 102 is relieved (see Fig.5 ) is the slider 70 (see Fig.5 ) again using the side knob 50/51 (see Fig.5 ) or the armrest 180 (see Fig.4 ) is movable and the self-locking mechanism can be released.
  • the self-locking is also functional if the principle is reversed by 180° and the roles (active and passive) of the components are swapped.
  • the role (active and passive) of the components changes, but the basic principle remains the same. It is only important that a small amount of "play" is provided for the respective reacting component (passive) (either slide or bearing block) in order to enable jamming.
  • This functionality sets the present lounger apart from many mechanical loungers available on the market, as no action is required by the user to maintain the position adopted.
  • This inhibition is achieved by the bearing block 102 being pushed through the 1 ⁇ 4-circular milling 82 (see Fig.5 ) to the long hole 71 (see Fig.5 ) or 261 (see Fig.4 ) of the slide 70 (see Fig.5 ) or 260 (see Fig.4 ) is enough.
  • the bearing block 102 via the long hole71 (see Fig.5 ) or 261 (see Fig.4 ) on the slider 70 (see Fig.5 ) or slide 260 (see Fig.4 ) exerted pressure (up or down) results in this being aligned with the upper (in the case of upward movement) or lower edge (in the case of downward movement) in the milled guide 61 (see Fig.4 ) or 81 (see Fig.5 ) wedged.
  • the components are deliberately installed with a little "play” to make this jamming possible.
  • the main part of the friction occurs between the milled guides 61 and 81 (see Fig.5 ) and the respective ends of the upper and lower edges of the slider 70 (see Fig.5 ) or 260 (see Fig.4 ).
  • the Figure 16a and 16b The self-locking mechanism shown differs only in that the direction of movement of the bearing block 103 (see Fig.5 ) not perpendicular to the respective long hole in the slide 344 (see Fig. 16a ) and 345 (see Fig. 16b ) but at an angle.
  • the self-locking mechanism By shifting the self-locking mechanism from the rotational area of the bearing block 102 to the bearing block 103, the curved milling 82 of the inner side part 80 (see Fig.5 ) are eliminated.
  • the self-locking is now not generated by a 1 ⁇ 4-circular movement, but by a push/pull movement of the bearing block 103 on the slide 344, or as in Figure 16c and 16d on slider 513 or slider 518.
  • Fig.3 shows a side section through the bed with transparent components in order to schematically show this interaction of the previously mentioned components in the three different positions (but without the interaction with the slider 70 (see Fig.5 ).
  • Very clearly visible in Fig.3 how the lever position of the backrest changes across the three positions (here, for example, side part backrest 90 (see Fig.5 ), which extends over the axis of rotation in hole 88 (see Fig.5 ) in the inner side part 80 (see Fig.5 ) or stock 101 ( Fig.5 ), the joint between the backrest 23 (see Fig. 2 ) and seat 24 (see Fig. 2 ) changes.
  • the 1 ⁇ 4-circular milling 82 (see Fig.5 ) in the inner side part 80 (see Fig.5 ) which freewheels the bearing block 102 (see Fig.5 ) in it.
  • the long hole 83 in the inner side part 80 (see Fig.5 ) serves as a bearing for the joint connection (bearing block 104 (see Fig.5 )) between seat 24 (see Fig.2 ) and foot part 25 (see Fig.2 ) and on the other hand as a guide for it.
  • Fig.4 also shows a side section through the bed with transparent components in order to schematically show the interaction of the previously mentioned components in the three different positions, but is limited to the representation of the variant of the slider 260 (see Fig. 11b ), a section of the alternative outer side part 210 (see Fig.10b ) with the milling 211 (see Fig. 10b ), the side view of the bed frame and the section through the armrest 180 (see Fig. 9b ).
