Definitions
- the invention relates to an adjustment device for a headrest, in particular for the headrest of a piece of seating or reclining furniture.
- DE 20 2016 102 413 U1 discloses an automatic holding system for a headrest, which system has a first pivoting component that is pivotably held on a fastening plate.
- the headrest is pushed onto the first pivoting component by means of a plug-on component and can be detached therefrom for cleaning purposes, for example.
- the pivoting takes place by actuating a linear drive component, the drive rod of which is connected in an articulated manner to the first pivoting component via a connecting portion and a coupling element.
- the linear drive component is held pivotably on the fastening plate in order to be able to carry out a compensating movement during the inclination adjustment of the headrest.
- the pivoting movement of the drive component requires additional space.
- this solution is relatively complex due to a large number of articulation points and the inclination of the headrest can only be adjusted in a very limited angular range.
- US 5 640 730 A discloses an adjustable articulated bed with a tiltable head rest section utilizing a pair of angled lifting levers having a pivot axis which coincides with the pivot axis of the back support section.
- the angled head ends of the levers are operatively connected to the head rest section with a sliding-pin-and-slot arrangement.
- a pin at the head end acts through a longitudinal slot formed in a bracket formed downward from the head rest section to pivot/lift that section to an upwardly-angled position (about 45°) relative to the horizontal back support section.
- the pin slides in the longitudinal slot as the head rest section is lifted.
- Continued pivoting of the lifting levers by the bed motor causes a tab on its top surface to engage and lift the back support section (and together therewith the upwardly-angled head rest section) about the pivot axis to an inclined angle of generally sixty degrees.
- DE 29 32 344 A1 relates to a device for the adjustment of a headrest designed for a dental patient chair.
- the linear drive unit has a drive element which is linearly adjustable along a stationary spatial axis and which is connected in an articulated manner to a headrest holder via a coupling element.
- the drive unit which is also stationary during the inclination adjustment, less installation space is required in the region of the drive unit.
- the significantly reduced number of pivot points also allows more cost-effective production.
- the pivoting range of the headrest is also relatively limited in this solution.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a compact adjustment device for a headrest which has a larger adjustment range for its inclination.
- the adjustment device also has a stop element which comes into contact with the coupling element or the first headrest holder in an intermediate position of the drive element and a further rotation of the coupling element relative to the first headrest holder is blocked between the intermediate position and the end position.
- the stop element allows the pivoting of the headrest beyond the dead center, which significantly increases the pivoting angle.
- a pivoting angle of the first headrest holder between the initial position and the end position of 140° +/- 20°, preferably 140° +/- 10°, most preferably 140° +/- 5°, can be realized.
- the first headrest holder can assume a pivoting angle of 90° +/- 20°, preferably 90° +/- 10°, most preferably 90° +/- 5°, between the initial position and the intermediate position.
- the pivoting angle of the first headrest holder between the intermediate position and the end position can be 50° +/- 20°, preferably 50° +/- 10°, most preferably 50° +/- 5°.
- the stationary alignment of the drive unit, even during the pivoting process, and the small number of components and articulation points required for the pivoting movement allow a compact and also inexpensive to manufacture adjustment device.
- the term "stationary" is to be understood as a rigid fastening to a component, in particular to a backrest of a piece of seating or reclining furniture, such as a sofa, an armchair, or a bed on which the headrest is pivotably held.
- the stop element is arranged on the first headrest holder and is in contact with the coupling element between the intermediate position and the end position of the drive element.
- the stationary spatial axis for the drive element can be implemented, for example, in that a guide for the linearly adjustable drive element is arranged on the first mounting plate.
- the drive unit is arranged in a stationary manner relative to the first mounting plate.
- a first extension element is articulated at an end of the first headrest holder remote from the first axis of rotation, which extension element can be pivoted between a retracted and an extended position relative to the first headrest holder.
- the first extension element can be coupled to the first headrest holder via at least one first pivot mechanism, the first pivot mechanism preferably being designed in the manner of a parallelogram guide.
- a first coupling arm can be provided for the adjustment of the first extension element, one end of which is connected to the first pivot mechanism and the other end of which is directly or indirectly articulated to the first mounting plate.
- the extension element offers the possibility of extending the headrest further in the position of use, while it can be folded down to save space in the idle position.
- the headrest is expediently held on both sides, for which a second headrest holder is provided which is pivotable on a second mounting plate about a second axis of rotation, the first headrest holder and the second headrest holder also being arranged at a distance from one another in such a way that the first and second axes of rotation are aligned.
- the first headrest holder and the second headrest holder can be connected to one another, in particular via the headrest, in order to ensure synchronous adjustment. In this case, however, it is sufficient if the drive unit is only connected to the first headrest holder via the first coupling element. If the optional first extension element is present, a second extension element will also be articulated on the second headrest holder at an end remote from the second axis of rotation.

DE 29 32 344 A1 relates to a device for the adjustment of a headrest designed for a dental patient chair. In this known device, the linear drive unit has a drive element which is linearly adjustable along a stationary spatial axis and which is connected in an articulated manner to a headrest holder via a coupling element. As a result of the drive unit, which is also stationary during the inclination adjustment, less installation space is required in the region of the drive unit. The significantly reduced number of pivot points also allows more cost-effective production. However, the pivoting range of the headrest is also relatively limited in this solution. - The invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a compact adjustment device for a headrest which has a larger adjustment range for its inclination.
- According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of
claim 1. - The adjustment device according to the invention for a headrest has at least one stationary first mounting plate on which a first headrest holder is held so as to be pivotable about a first axis of rotation. Furthermore, a drive unit is provided which has a drive element which is linearly adjustable along a stationary spatial axis between an initial position and an end position, wherein a coupling element is articulated at one end to the drive element and at the other end to the first headrest holder, such that a linear movement of the drive element causes a rotation of the first headrest holder about the first axis of rotation. The adjustment device also has a stop element which comes into contact with the coupling element or the first headrest holder in an intermediate position of the drive element and a further rotation of the coupling element relative to the first headrest holder is blocked between the intermediate position and the end position.
- The stop element allows the pivoting of the headrest beyond the dead center, which significantly increases the pivoting angle. In particular, a pivoting angle of the first headrest holder between the initial position and the end position of 140° +/- 20°, preferably 140° +/- 10°, most preferably 140° +/- 5°, can be realized. The first headrest holder can assume a pivoting angle of 90° +/- 20°, preferably 90° +/- 10°, most preferably 90° +/- 5°, between the initial position and the intermediate position.
- Furthermore, the pivoting angle of the first headrest holder between the intermediate position and the end position can be 50° +/- 20°, preferably 50° +/- 10°, most preferably 50° +/- 5°.
- The stationary alignment of the drive unit, even during the pivoting process, and the small number of components and articulation points required for the pivoting movement allow a compact and also inexpensive to manufacture adjustment device. In connection with the invention, the term "stationary" is to be understood as a rigid fastening to a component, in particular to a backrest of a piece of seating or reclining furniture, such as a sofa, an armchair, or a bed on which the headrest is pivotably held.
- According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the stop element is arranged on the first headrest holder and is in contact with the coupling element between the intermediate position and the end position of the drive element. The stationary spatial axis for the drive element can be implemented, for example, in that a guide for the linearly adjustable drive element is arranged on the first mounting plate. However, other configurations are also conceivable in which the drive unit is arranged in a stationary manner relative to the first mounting plate.
- In an optional embodiment, a first extension element is articulated at an end of the first headrest holder remote from the first axis of rotation, which extension element can be pivoted between a retracted and an extended position relative to the first headrest holder. The first extension element can be coupled to the first headrest holder via at least one first pivot mechanism, the first pivot mechanism preferably being designed in the manner of a parallelogram guide. According to a further embodiment, a first coupling arm can be provided for the adjustment of the first extension element, one end of which is connected to the first pivot mechanism and the other end of which is directly or indirectly articulated to the first mounting plate. The extension element offers the possibility of extending the headrest further in the position of use, while it can be folded down to save space in the idle position.
- The headrest is expediently held on both sides, for which a second headrest holder is provided which is pivotable on a second mounting plate about a second axis of rotation, the first headrest holder and the second headrest holder also being arranged at a distance from one another in such a way that the first and second axes of rotation are aligned. The first headrest holder and the second headrest holder can be connected to one another, in particular via the headrest, in order to ensure synchronous adjustment. In this case, however, it is sufficient if the drive unit is only connected to the first headrest holder via the first coupling element. If the optional first extension element is present, a second extension element will also be articulated on the second headrest holder at an end remote from the second axis of rotation. In this embodiment, the first extension element and the second extension element are connected to one another for synchronous adjustment, in particular via the headrest.

- The adjustment device for a headrest shown in
Fig. 1 has afirst headrest holder 1 for holding the headrest and a stationaryfirst mounting plate 2 on which thefirst headrest holder 1 is held such that it can pivot about a first axis ofrotation 3. Furthermore, adrive unit 4 is provided which has a linearlyadjustable drive element 5. Aguide 6 for the linearlyadjustable drive element 5 is fastened to thefirst mounting plate 2 by means ofscrews 7. Theend 8 of thedrive unit 4 which is remote from the linearlyadjustable drive element 5 is fixed on aholder 9, in which it is pushed onto apin 10 and locked with alocking ring 11. Theholder 9 is also arranged in a stationary manner and could, for example, also be formed by extending thefirst mounting plate 2. - The connection between the linearly
adjustable drive element 5 and thefirst headrest holder 1 is formed by acoupling element 12 which has apin 13 at one end, with which it is articulated to thedrive element 5 and fixed by means of alocking ring 14. The other end of thecoupling element 12 is articulated to thefirst headrest holder 1 at anarticulation point 15. - In
Fig. 2 to 4 , thefirst mounting plate 2 and theholder 9 are fastened to acomponent 16, which is, for example, the backrest of a piece of seating or reclining furniture. Thedrive unit 1 held on theholder 9 and on theguide 6 is thus arranged in a stationary manner with respect to thecomponent 16, so that the adjustment of the linearlyadjustable drive element 5 of thedrive unit 1 takes place along a stationaryspatial axis 17 between an initial position (Fig. 2 ) and an end position (Fig. 4 ). - A
headrest 18 is fastened to thefirst headrest holder 1 and is adjustable from a rearwardly folded position according toFig. 2 via an intermediate position (Fig. 3 ) to a forwardly inclined position according toFig. 4 , whereby of course every other intermediate position can also be assumed. During the linear movement of thedrive element 5, thefirst headrest holder 1 rotates with theheadrest 18 around thearticulation point 15 and in this way changes the inclination of theheadrest 18. - The
headrest 18 is folded back inFig. 2 and aligned approximately horizontally. During the adjustment between the initial position according toFig. 2 and the intermediate position according toFig. 3 , the coupling element is freely movable in the region of thepin 13 and thearticulation point 15. In the intermediate position ofFig. 3 , theheadrest 18 is pivoted upwards through an angle α of approximately 90° and is thus oriented approximately vertically. Thepin 13 and thearticulation point 15 lie on the stationaryspatial axis 17, in the direction of which thedrive element 5 is adjustable. In this position, the coupling element comes into contact with astop element 19 arranged on thefirst headrest holder 1, thestop element 19 being arranged in such a way that it blocks a rotation of thecoupling element 12 relative to thefirst headrest holder 1 upon further adjustment of theheadrest 18 into the end position shown inFig. 4 . In this way, theheadrest 18 or thefirst headrest holder 1 can be tilted forward by a further angle β of approximately 50°, so that a total pivoting angle (α + β) of approximately 140° results. - In the exploded view of
Fig. 1 , the adjustment device furthermore has asecond headrest holder 20 which is pivotable on a second mountingplate 21 about a second axis ofrotation 22, the first headrest holder and the second headrest holder also being arranged at a distance from one another, in particular on the backrest of the seating or reclining furniture, in such a way that the first axis ofrotation 3 and the second axis ofrotation 22 are aligned. For the synchronous adjustment of thefirst headrest holder 1 and thesecond headrest holder 20, these are connected to one another via the headrest 18 (not shown). -
Fig. 5 to 7 show a second embodiment of the adjustment device according to the invention for a headrest, which differs from the first embodiment only in that afirst extension element 23 is articulated to thefirst headrest holder 1 at an end remote from the first axis ofrotation 3, thefirst extension element 23 between a retracted position (Fig. 5 ) and an extended position (Fig. 7 ) being pivotable relative to thefirst headrest holder 1. Thefirst extension element 23 is held on thefirst headrest holder 1 via afirst pivot mechanism 24, thefirst pivot mechanism 24 being designed in the illustrated embodiment with twolever arms lever arms extension element 23 at the other end. - For the adjustment of the
first extension element 23, afirst coupling arm 25 is provided, one end of which is articulated to thefirst pivot mechanism 24, in this case to thelever arm 24b thereof, and the other end to anarticulation point 26 provided on the first mountingplate 2.Fig. 5 again shows the position of theheadrest 18 folded backwards, whileFig. 6 shows the intermediate position, andFig. 7 shows the forwardly inclined end position of theheadrest 18. The rotational movement of thefirst headrest holder 1 via thecoupling element 12 and the linearlyadjustable drive element 5 corresponds to that of the first embodiment. During the rotation, the coupling of thefirst pivot mechanism 24 to thefirst coupling arm 25 causes thefirst extension element 23 to pivot relative to thefirst headrest holder 1 in the sense of an extension of thefirst headrest holder 1 by the amount a (Fig. 7 ). As a result, theheadrest 18 reaches a somewhat greater distance from the seat surface in the forwardly inclined position, while it is arranged relatively compactly in the folded-back position and does not protrude excessively backwards beyond the backrest (component 16). - In a corresponding manner, also a second extension element (not shown) is articulated to the second headrest holder 20 (
Fig. 1 ) at an end remote from the second axis ofrotation 22, thefirst extension element 23 and the second extension element being connected to one another, in particular via theheadrest 18 for synchronous adjustment.
