Definitions

  • the invention relates to a piece of furniture that is suitable for sitting and/or lying down.
  • Modern seating or reclining furniture occasionally provide adjustment options to increase the comfort of the user.
  • the piece of furniture according to the invention aims in particular to be able to adapt the seating or lying surface to the needs of the user.
  • the piece of furniture for sitting and/or lying down can in particular be an upholstered piece of furniture, such as an armchair, a sofa, a couch, a recamier or a chaise longue.
  • the piece of furniture according to the invention comprises a base, a seat or bed surface and a backrest.
  • the seating or lying surface and the backrest are each arranged on the underframe.
  • the base has a front end and a rear end opposite the front end.
  • the backrest is arranged in the area of the rear end.
  • the backrest can include one or more leaning elements.
  • the seating or lying surface can also comprise one or more seating or lying elements.
  • the seating or lying surface has a main extension plane.
  • the piece of furniture according to the invention is characterized by the combination of two adjustment options.
  • the at least one seating or lying element is rotatably attached to the underframe.
  • the at least one seat or bed element can be rotated relative to the underframe and about an axis of rotation which is directed essentially perpendicularly to the main plane of extension of the seat or bed surface.
  • the at least one leaning element is adjustably fastened to the underframe.
  • the position of the at least one leaning element in relation to the underframe can be adjusted by changing the distance between the at least one leaning element and the front end of the underframe. In this way, the depth and/or width of the piece of furniture and thus possibly also its function can be adjusted.
  • the seat or bed surface and the backrest are each fastened to the underframe and that the backrest is connected to the seat or bed surface only via the underframe.
  • a rotation of the at least one seat or reclining element relative to the base does not cause the backrest or the at least one leaning element to rotate relative to the base.
  • adjusting the at least one leaning element relative to the underframe does not cause any movement of the at least one seat or reclining element relative to the underframe.
  • a rotation of the at least one seat or reclining element relative to the underframe is possible independently of the position of the at least one leaning element.
  • the position of the at least one leaning element in relation to the base frame can be adjustable independently of the orientation of the at least one seating or lying element.
  • the at least one seating or reclining element can be rotated about the axis of rotation by an angle of up to 180°.
  • the angle can be essentially 90°.
  • the at least one seating or lying element can be locked in any orientation between the first and the second orientation.
  • the at least one leaning element is adjustable with respect to the underframe between a first position and a second position, wherein the at least one leaning element is spaced further from the front end of the underframe in the first position than in the second position.
  • This allows the seat depth of the piece of furniture to be adjusted.
  • the distance between the at least one leaning element and the front end of the underframe is 10 to 20 cm, in particular 15 cm, greater than in the second position.
  • a pivoting mechanism can be provided, via which the at least one leaning element is fastened to the underframe.
  • the pivot mechanism can include at least one pivot arm, the first end of which is attached to the at least one leaning element such that it can pivot about a first pivot axis, and the second end of which is attached to the base frame such that it can pivot about a second pivot axis.
  • the first pivot axis and the second pivot axis extend essentially parallel to a width direction of the piece of furniture.
  • the width direction is defined as the direction along which the front end and the rear end of the chassis extend.
  • the front end and the rear end of the underframe extend transversely to a depth direction of the piece of seating and/or reclining furniture. It should also be mentioned at this point that the width direction and the depth direction of the piece of furniture each extend parallel to the main plane of extension of the seat or bed surface.
  • a headrest is attached to the backrest (or to the at least one leaning element), specifically at its end facing away from the underframe.
  • the headrest can be adjustably attached to the backrest.
  • the angle between the plane of extension of the headrest and the plane of extension of the backrest or of the at least one leaning element can be adjustable.

  • the seat element 201a can thus be rotated on the lower support surface 101.
  • the piece of seating furniture 1 is off figure 1 shown, but with the seat member 201a assuming a second orientation in which the seat member 201a is relative to the first orientation ( figure 1 ) is rotated by 90°. Due to the rectangular shape of the seat element 201a, the seat element 201a no longer completely covers the lower support surface 101 in the second orientation.
  • the seat element 201a protrudes beyond the front end 103 of the underframe 100 (and thus beyond the front end of the lower support surface 101). , while a portion of the lower support surface 101 is not covered by the seat member 201a.
  • the piece of seating furniture 1 In the second orientation of the seat element 201a ( figure 2 ) the piece of seating furniture 1 has a greater depth than in the first orientation ( figure 1 ).
  • the leaning element 301a is also located in figure 2 in the first position.
  • the leaning element 301a is in relation to the base 100 between the in the Figures 1 and 2 shown first position and a second position adjustable.

  • the first end 511 of each swing arm 510 is displaced forward of the second end 512 in the direction of the front end 103 of the base 100 .
  • the rest member 301a attached to the swing arm 510 is in its second position.
  • the length of the swivel arms 510 and the maximum possible swivel angle determine the magnitude of the change in distance.
  • the pivoting arms 510 and the pivoting angle can be dimensioned such that the leaning element 301a is in the first position ( figure 8 ) spaced further from the front end 103 of the base 100 by 15 cm is than in the second position ( figure 9 ).
  • the angle between the two maximum deflections of a pivot arm 510 is referred to as the pivot angle.
  • the leaning element 301a rests on the upper bearing surface 102 of the underframe 100 (or on a cushion covering the upper bearing surface 102).
  • the pivoting mechanism 500 slightly raises the leaning element 301a when transitioning between the first and second positions. Due to the double swivel axes, the (in the Figures 8 and 9 shown) upright alignment of the leaning element 301a relative to the base 100 in the first and the second position of the leaning element 301a and in the transition between the two positions is maintained and angling is avoided.
  • the pivoting mechanism 500 associated with the Figures 7 to 9 is described in detail, is used in all of the embodiments of the piece of furniture 1 described here for fastening a leaning element 301a, 301b to a base frame 100.
  • the Figures 8 and 9 also show schematically that the headrest is attached to the leaning element so that it can pivot about a third pivot axis.
  • the third pivot axis runs parallel to the first and the second pivot axis.
  • the headrest 400 can be seen in the angled position in each case.
  • the Figures 10 to 12 show a base 100 with two leaning elements 301a, 301b and two headrests 400 adjoining the leaning elements 301a, 301b.
  • One leaning element 301a is in the first position and the associated headrest 400 is in an upright position.
  • the other back member 301b is in the second position and the associated headrest 400 is in the angled position (also shown in Figs Figures 8 and 9 is shown).
  • the angle that the extension plane of the headrest 400 encloses with the extension plane of the seating or lying surface of the piece of furniture 1 is smaller than in the upright position.
  • the angle that the extension plane of the headrest 400 encloses with the extension plane of the corresponding leaning element 301b is greater than in the upright position.
  • the combination of leaning element in the first (second) position and headrest in the upright (angled) position is in the Figures 10 to 12 only exemplary. So can the position of the headrest can be selected independently of the position of the leaning element and vice versa.
