Definitions
- the present invention relates to multifunctional hanging furniture, which can be subordinated to the area of floating seating and lying furniture, which are used either in living rooms or in gardens and other outdoor areas.
- Hanging chairs and seats can be constructed in different ways, either from a rigid frame construction with seat cushions or, similar to hammocks, from flexible materials, often supplemented by structurally rigid elements such as e.g. B. rods, fixed seats or the like.
- Hanging loungers can also be designed differently. These constructions are often simple rigid or semi-flexible couches, which are attached to load-bearing components using chains or ropes.
- Such furniture often only has one hanging point to simplify the attachment of the furniture. Others are attached to parallel suspension points. The advantage here is that such a system does not develop any angular momentum and thus can swing evenly.
- the brackets of the footrest are firmly connected to the seat part on both sides in this hammock, so that the load on the legs or feet of a user is not exclusively through the upstream suspension points but also indirectly through the suspension of the seat part is intercepted.
- Such swing systems allow the user to maintain a swing impulse, but very limited, because by connecting the footrests with the seat constructions, only the tilting movement of the footboard can be used in the first swing, and in both swings only the physical strength can be transmitted, which with bent legs can be generated.
- the use of other physical forces, e.g. B. that of the arms is not provided.
- the suspended and hanging furniture listed here as examples can be assigned to very different areas of application and can therefore usually only be used to a limited extent. Erotic hanging furniture can hardly be converted into a decorative seating element for everyday use.
- a hanging chair that only has a single suspension point is not suitable for enabling even and expansive pendulum movements, as with a children's swing.
- the well-known hammock swings also do not allow excessively strong pendulum movements because, unlike when suspended from a ceiling, the pivoting and suspension points on the associated swing frames are not far enough away from the seats. Only a slight swinging back and forth is possible with such swings.
- the different pieces of furniture from the different areas of application always have other specific disadvantages depending on the type of construction.
- the hanging footmuffs known from textile or semi-textile hanging chairs, for example, give the impression of being a temporary solution because they do not offer a stable surface for the feet to rest on.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a piece of furniture in which an oscillating impulse can be permanently maintained by the user himself. This is said to be done by using forward hanging points for a gravity pivoting footrest.
- both variants of the vibration excitation are combined with one another in such a way that the effects reinforce each other. In this way it is then possible for a user in the Able to move from a relatively resting position into an increasing rocking motion.
- variable angle of inclination between the seat and backrest can be between 0° and a maximum of 180° for reasons of multifunctionality, and can be adjusted between 45° and 180° when used as a hanging chair.
- lower maximum angle setting options for example up to 145°, are also sufficient and can also be implemented functionally.
- the overall height of the piece of furniture should be easy to change in stages, with an adjustable height difference that should ideally be between 0 and 45 cm.
- the possibility is expressly included of also realizing greater differences in height by means of the constructional means set out below.
- inclination adjustment option between 0 and approximately 35°, particularly preferably from 0 to approximately 22°.
- the multifunctional piece of furniture should also be usable as a so-called love swing. With this type of use, the lying partner should be able to initiate an oscillating impulse.
- the piece of furniture should also be foldable for transport or storage purposes.
- the piece of furniture can be formed from several elements which are movably connected to one another.
- a piece of hanging furniture comprising a seating element and/or a lying element, each of which has at least two attached on both sides
- supporting elements which can preferably be ropes, belts, chains or rods, which lead to suspension on a supporting frame or a ceiling
- a stable footrest which, also equipped with appropriate suspension means on both sides, is parallel to the supporting elements of the seat to upstream suspension points.
- both sides writes here the arrangement on both sides of the seat or bed viewed from the user, left and right of the bed or seat.
- the terms "footrest”, “footrest” and “foot strap” are used interchangeably and encompass an area in which preferably the feet of the furniture user can be positioned and rested.
- the footrest can be made of different materials or a combination of these.
- the footrest is preferably made wider than the seat element.
- the distance A between the suspension points of the seat element and those of the suspension points of the footrest, which are shifted somewhat laterally outwards, is preferably dimensioned such that, when not in use, it pivots under the seat element due to gravity.
- the hanging furniture can also be designed as a love swing. In this case, the hanging furniture has a lying surface, which has at least two hanging points on both sides. Separate suspension points are arranged in front of the lying element, to which foot straps or similar fastening and holding options for feet or other body parts can be attached.
- the length of the suspension means of the footrest is also preferably dimensioned in such a way that the footrest can be placed partially or completely under the seating and/or lying element.
- Parallel in the broadest sense means directional parallelism, which also includes exact parallelism. If a user puts his feet on the footrest, a directional parallelism is created. Likewise, in certain constructions not shown here, there can be a directional parallelism, namely primarily when the traction means of the footrest are guided through eyelets or other sliding devices that are attached to the hanging furniture.
- the footrest that is not connected to the seat and/or lying surface
- the footrest or its supporting traction means are not fixed to the seating and/or lying element, e.g. B. by screwing connected.
- the traction means of the footrest can be guided through eyelets or other sliding devices that are located on the seat and/or lying element or their traction means.
- the shelf can preferably be replaced by flexible, non-structural connecting elements, e.g. B. ropes or belts, coupled to the seat and / or bed element.
- hanging points refers to one or more fixing points, which are preferably located on the ceiling, a supporting structure or a higher structure, such as a branch or the like. Although one speaks of a punctiform suspension, it can also involve other types of attachment, such as rails, in which the support elements, such as cables, can be arranged.
- the suspension points can also be designed to be movable, with the at least one suspension point of the seat element and/or lying element being arranged at a distance A from the at least one suspension point of the foot element.
- the distance A between the at least one suspension point of the seat element and/or lying element and the suspension point of the foot element is between 5 cm and 100 cm, depending on the size of the piece of furniture, and in most of the preferred designs presented here it is preferably between 10 cm and 70 cm.
- Non-tilting here means all connection measures between the seat element and the support elements attached on both sides and also the footrest with the support elements attached on both sides, which are suitable for holding the seat element and the footrest in a stable position.
- the footrest can be structured differently, e.g. B. rigid board-like with two attachment points on the short sides for ropes, chains, belts or the like that lead to the support elements.
- triangles made of fabric or other materials attached on both sides can also be used.
- Rods as load-bearing elements can be connected securely by screwing these elements directly to the footrest.
- the supporting elements of the seat and the footrest can be made of the same materials. However, combinations of different materials are also possible.
- a hanging seat can be attached to chains, while the footboard is attached to rods with suspension points in front.
- the effect of such a construction is that a user is able to sustain an oscillating momentum without external influence. While the main load is borne by the seat element with the two suspension points, the footrest not only serves to increase comfort, but also to exert tension on two separate suspension points in front.
- the footrest can, for example, be pushed away with the feet and caught again. Circular movements of this shelf lead to the swing being converted from a uniform pendulum movement to a circular rocking movement. Contrary to all known swings, two different types of pendulum movements can be generated, whereby the use in the context of movement therapy is also possible.
- the footrest may be adjustable in height.
- the adjustment of the height of the footrest can be done with the help of conventional cable adjusters or other adjustment means, which are preferably attached at handle height.
- Another possibility of height adjustment is in the Exemplary embodiment presented, according to which the combination of a loop rope section, attached to the corresponding suspension eyelet, is carried out with a traction device of the footrest by means of snap hooks.
- the advantage here is that the shelf can also be removed if desired.
- a traction device includes, in particular, ropes, belts, cords, wires, bands or similar elongated elements.
- a further embodiment of the invention provides for using the strength of the arms.
- the suspension means of the footrest are therefore preferably provided with handles. These can be taken and used by the user, with the footrest forming the corresponding abutment. The user can thus exert force either by pulling on the handles (F2), by pressing on the foot surface (F1) or by a combination of these two possibilities, so that an oscillating impulse comes about.
- the advantage over the Hollywood swings with footrests mentioned at the beginning is that the leg and arm strength can be used together.
- the handles on the support elements of the footrest can be designed to run freely, so that there is an automatic adjustment to different arm lengths. They can also be equipped with fixing devices, such as wing screws or other fixing components, so that they can be fixed. Instead, however, the carrying means can also be equipped with adjustable fixing means below the handles. This preferred option offers the advantage that the arm length is still automatically adjusted, but the handles can be placed in such a way that they do not come into conflict with other components when the shelf is pivoted back. In addition, the handles, which are always easily accessible, offer the necessary resistance for a user who does not want to use the footrest but wants to generate a swinging movement simply by pulling on the handles.
- the seat element comprises at least one seat surface and a backrest, which are connected to one another in an articulated manner in such a way that a stable angle is created overall.
- This can be achieved by choosing hinges that only allow a certain closing angle or, for example, by using straps attached underneath that prevent the element from collapsing.
- the hinges can also have latching or other adjustment mechanisms that can be released manually. Straps or similar elements can also be made variable in length, for example by means of buckles or automatic, preferably manually detachable winding units.
- the surfaces connected to one another in an articulated manner are equipped on both sides with a traction device on the side edges, which converge on both sides in a roof shape over the seat element and end in a fixing point on both sides, with a further traction device in each case Attached to the hinge area of the seat, also opens into the respective fixing point, anchored and defined in terms of length in such a way that a stable angle suitable for sitting is maintained.
- a support element such as a rope, leads to the suspension points on a ceiling or on a support structure.
- the arrangement of the traction devices on the seat element itself is also designed in such a way that the two front traction devices of the seat are attached as close as possible to the edge of the seat, while the two traction devices of the backrest are attached to the outer edges just above the tipping point of a person leaning back.
- the term "just under” includes a distance of 0.1% to 30% of the total length of the backrest, preferably 0.1 to 10% above the tipping point.
- the tipping point is understood here as the point at which the backrest, which is provided with traction means, folds down in the direction of the head area due to the distribution of its own weight and also the weight distribution of the user himself, body size and stature. Shifted by an additionally attached headrest the tipping point also moves further into this area.
- the location of the tipping point has a direct impact on how much force a person leaning back needs to move the backrest.
- the tipping point is at a distance of 0 to 50 cm, preferably in the range of 20 to 35 cm, away from the connection between the seat or lying surface and the backrest on the backrest.
- the fastening points of the traction means on the backrest are located just above its longitudinal center, preferably at 26.5 cm. This roughly corresponds to the height of the third lumbar vertebra of a seated person of average height. In the case of other variants of the piece of furniture created according to the invention, however, these points can also be below the longitudinal center.
- Fittings attached on both sides preferably made of metal, each having a long hole, as well as notches for the traction means provided at intervals upwards can be used here.
- other means of adjustment such as rails or latching systems, also make it possible to vary the resistance of the backrest to a user leaning backwards.
- the vibration is stimulated by the user by leaning back when the swing seat is moved forward and thus changing its center of gravity, similar to a children's board swing.
- the attachment of the middle, the angle stabilizing, preferably flexible traction means can be done on the seat surface in the hinge area, since this is where the main load occurs.
- the hinges themselves can be equipped with eyelets that serve as fastening points.
- the hinges and eyelets are preferably made of metal.
- the advantageous development of the invention which allows the angle between the seat and backrest to be adjusted, is achieved by equipping the central traction means that stabilize the angle with cable shortening mechanisms that are already known from other areas, for example for adjusting the belt length of bags or the well-known rope adjusters.
- the flexible traction means which is preferably attached to the seat surface, is guided over a fixing means and clamped in by tension, then guided further down through a metal ring attached to the respective support cable and attached to the fixing means.
- the fastener is preferably sized to be easily grasped by a seated user.
- wooden discs with two holes are used here.
- the end of the traction device is fixed to the traction device itself using a cable clamp.
- other forms of the fixing means to be gripped by the hands or types of attachment of the traction means for example directly on the fixing means themselves, can also be considered.
- rigid materials e.g. B. be chosen in the form of metal rods, which can also be made telescopic and provided with locking or locking mechanisms.
- the length can also be changed by automatic winding units that lock automatically and can be released by the user.
- the combination of the two possibilities for excitation of vibrations takes place in such a way that the described seat element, comprising at least two surfaces connected to one another in an articulated manner, seat surface and backrest, as well as two traction means on each side of the seat surface and backrest and a stabilizing traction means in the hinge area, initially still without the possibility of changing the length, is combined with the footrest described at the beginning with separate suspension points in front.
- the vibration stimulation by the user then occurs in interaction, on the one hand through the pressure on the footrest (F1) in the forward movement of the swing seat, optionally also by pulling on the handles of the suspension means (F2), and on the other hand by shifting the center of gravity towards the movable backrest (F3).
- the rocking chair is equipped with stabilizing and at the same time length-adjustable traction means in the hinge area, for example with the ones described Adjusting discs, the user can assume the lying position while rocking, whereby the excitation of vibration then takes place exclusively via the pressure on the footrest.
- a permanent rocking is also possible in the lying position.
- the user standing next to the seat can pull on a central traction means to the extent that a flat or, if desired, slightly angled lying surface is created. Pulling down the fixing means on both sides stabilizes this position.
- the invention has a further advantageous embodiment.
- sections of so-called loop ropes are woven into the lower ends of the two suspension means, preferably in the form of suspension ropes, which are only firmly connected to the suspension ropes at their lower ends.
- the two support cables run from the fixing points of the seat upwards via brackets on a ceiling or a support frame, for example through eyelets, preferably made of metal, or via cable pulleys attached there, preferably with integrated plain, ball or roller bearings, and return downwards, with the Ends of the support ropes are provided with snap hooks and can be hung in the loops of the downwardly slidable loop rope sections.
- solutions are preferred in which the seat element is suspended using brackets that are already equipped with corresponding integrated rope pulleys.
- the advantage of the variant preferred in the exemplary embodiment consists in the fact that no metal noises whatsoever are generated and, overall, there are also low frictional forces, which contributes to the system being able to swing easily.
- the solution is unobtrusive and can be implemented inexpensively compared to others.
- Another advantage here is that a not so strong person is able to gradually adjust the height of the furniture with little effort thanks to the integration of rollers with ball or other bearings in the suspension.
- seat shells made of plastic can have upward extensions on the sides that have hanging holes.
- Wire frames or combinations of solid and flexible net-like components can have recesses that are suitable for hanging in the preferably flexible support elements that are brought down and equipped with hooks or shackles.
- the hanging furniture can be equipped with the possibility of being able to pull together and fix the two flexible traction means located at the front of the seat edge. This is achieved in that the ends of the ropes, which are guided inwards through bores and provided with knots, are equipped with a snap hook on one side and a loop rope section on the other side. Pulling together and connecting the front cords of the furniture causes a tilt adjustment of the furniture as a whole. The incline can be gradually adjusted using the loop rope and the snap hook.
- the height adjustment and the adjustment option in the direction of a lying position can be used at the same time, it is possible to set up a so-called love swing from the sitting and lying furniture.
- the otherwise usual foot straps for this purpose can be hooked into the loop ropes of the main support means.
- the advantageous embodiment of the invention provides for using the upstream suspension points of the footrest. If the foot straps are attached to the traction means attached there at a suitable height, a person lying on their back on the swing can autonomously initiate a swinging movement by acting on these traction means.
- a length-adjusted hand rope preferably equipped with a handle, can be hung in the two traction means, for example with the aid of carabiners, so that the traction can also be used with the hands to generate an oscillation.
- the hand rope hanging there optionally after attaching a footrest connected to the seat, can be used, for example in the elderly or disabled area, to keep the swing swinging.
- the distance A between the suspension points of the seating and/or reclining element and the upstream suspension points is dimensioned so large that either a stably held footrest or another stable element in front of the seating or reclining element is at the same height or placed deeper.
- this shelf is connected to connection means on the main element and/or its traction means.
- the shelf is preferably connected on both sides with flexible connecting means, which are particularly preferably connected in the front corner area of the main element and/or its front traction means.
- the shelf preferably has two separate pivot points independent of the seating or lying element, it is possible for a couple to perform a joint rocking movement on the one hand, while z. B. a partner kneeling on the shelf can also pursue their own movement impulses.
- the shelf can be dimensioned so wide that it can be swiveled in under the main element by pushing it, for example in the case of a standing partner.
- the further advantageous embodiment of the piece of furniture includes a headrest. This can be firmly connected to the backrest.
- a headrest is fastened to the backrest with at least one hinge.
- a textile hinge is used in the exemplary embodiment.
- the headrest is held on the outside by elastic bands.
- the entire seat element can be folded up completely.
- the design shown in the embodiment of load-bearing wooden elements can be U-shaped in section, so that foam inserts can be embedded under the actual seat cushion, which on the one hand increase the seating comfort and on the other hand prevent the cushion from slipping. All the nodes of the traction mechanism, which are routed through bores in load-distributing screwed-on metal profiles, can be accommodated under these inserts.
- the preferred in the embodiment U-shaped structure shows an example Possibility of folding the headrest inwards, so that the furniture can then be folded up completely in a second step.
- the invention also relates to the interaction of certain features for generating a movement sequence.
- the present invention thus relates to a method for independent rocking in a previously described piece of hanging furniture, with the user of the hanging piece of furniture exerting pressure (F1) on the footrest, pulling (F2) on the handles of the suspension means and/or by shifting one's weight backwards Pressure is applied towards the backrest (F3), causing the user to put himself in a sustained swinging motion.
- F1 pressure
- F2 weight backwards Pressure
- F3 backwards Pressure
- the user can assume a reclining position during the rocking process by shortening the adjustment cables.
- Objects that are preferably lighter can be hung up by designing the pulled-down traction means as a loop rope which, for example, has a connecting element such as a hook at the end is equipped and can be hung underneath the suspension/bracket.
- the hanging devices can also be attached to the objects to be hung themselves or to corresponding supporting surfaces or other supporting structures instead of a hook on the traction mechanism itself, with this possibility also being provided for a wide variety of types of hanging furniture presented here.
- the present invention also relates to the use of a height adjustment device described above for hanging furniture, at least one flexible traction mechanism, which is guided down via at least one suspension point, such as preferably a bracket and/or eyelet on a ceiling or a support frame, and into a height-adjustable suspension Medium is hung.
- the height-adjustable suspension means is preferably a loop rope section which is firmly connected in the lower area to the traction means, preferably a carrying rope, to an object to be hung up, or to both.
- the traction means that is routed down can also be designed as a height-adjustable suspension means in the form of a loop rope, which is equipped with a connecting element, preferably at the end, and is suspended in itself below the suspension point.
- the traction means that is routed down is at the same time a height-adjustable suspension means in the form of a loop rope and that the objects to be hung up and/or their supporting structures comprise suspension devices.
- the traction means can also be guided down over a pulley in addition to the at least one suspension point. In this way, objects with a higher weight can also be easily adjusted in height.
- the height-adjustable suspension means is preferably a loop rope section which is firmly connected in the lower area to the traction means, preferably a carrying rope, to an object to be hung up, or to both.
- the height-adjustable suspension means can also be the traction means itself in the form of a loop rope, which is equipped with a connecting element, preferably at the end, and is suspended in itself below the suspension point.
- the objects to be hung up and/or their supporting structures comprise suspension devices into which the traction means is hung.
- the hanging furniture can also comprise other materials, such as plastic, wood, metal, rattan and/or textile fibers.
- the seating and lying furniture preferably comprises three pivotally connected basic elements, the seat surface 1, the backrest 2 and the headrest 3.
- the connection between the seat surface and the backrest is made by metal hinges 4 attached on both sides backrest attached.
- the suspension of the elements connected in this way can be seen by way of example in the depiction of one side of the piece of furniture.
- all the coming together traction means, i.e. ropes, 6 and 7, the main supporting cable 9 and the looped cable section 10 are firmly connected to one another by sewing, riveting, screwing, casting or material pressing.
- the length of the adjusting cable 11 is such that the adjusting washer 12 is close to the metal ring 14 while the downward pull prevents the furniture from collapsing.
- the adjustment of the lengths of all the cables on the seat element has the effect that in this basic setting a stable angle suitable for sitting is produced between the seat surface and the backrest.
- the described positioning of the focusing screen means that even when later adjustment downwards there is no loop that endangers child safety.
- the adjustment means can be moved at any time, even during a rocking movement.
- the positioning of the traction means 7 on the backrest 2 and the connection points 15 is selected in such a way that only slight pressure needs to be exerted when the user leans back.
- the connection points 15 are therefore just above the tipping point of a person leaning backwards.
- the positioning of the points 15 there not only facilitates the angular adjustment of the seat during use, but also allows the user to move the upper body further backwards when rocking in the backward movement and thus create a permanent rocking movement.
- connection points 16 of the front ropes 6 are preferably located close to the corner points of the seat 1, so that tilting effects are avoided when the furniture is used as a so-called love swing.
- the connection points 15, 16 are reinforced by metal plates 17, 18 which are provided with holes and are screwed on from the outside, whereby the resulting loads are evenly distributed on the sides of the furniture.
- the hanging furniture is also equipped with a removable pad 19.
- Foam inserts 20 located underneath serve to increase seating comfort.
- a foam roller 21 on the front edge of the seat prevents a user from being injured by the swinging motion when leaving the furniture.
- a footrest 22 which is preferably wider than the seat surface, has padding 23 on the upper side and on both longitudinal edges to prevent contact be cushioned with the seat element or with the legs of the user when swinging.
- the flexible traction means of the footrest consist of suspension means 24 in the lower area, such as ropes, which are connected to the footrest in a non-tilting manner. They have free-running handles 25 whose freedom of movement can be limited by locking devices 26 at the bottom. A rubber ring 27 lying in between serves to reduce noise when sliding down.
- the suspension means, preferably ropes, of the footrest 24 lead to suspension means which preferably have the form of looped rope sections 28 .
- the connection takes place by means of small snap hooks 29.
- This constellation makes it possible for the footrest to be height-adjustable and also removable. Instead, foot straps can be attached to the remaining loop rope sections, which are usually required if the piece of furniture is to serve as a so-called love swing.
- the drawing further illustrates, by way of example, the mechanisms that bring about vibrational excitation. A seated user can then grasp the handles 25 and either pull F2 on the suspension means, preferably ropes 24, and/or force F1 on the footrest 22.
- the traction means such as in particular support ropes of the seat element 9, starting from the fixing points 8 via the suspension 30, which is U-shaped in section, via rollers 31 directed below and as in figure 4 shown, by means of a suspension means 32, preferably a large snap hook, suspended in the loop rope sections 10.
- At least one flexible traction device 9 which is arranged on a ceiling or a support frame, is guided back down via a suspension 30, with the free end of the traction means is equipped with a suspension means 32, preferably a hook, and can be hung preferably at grip height in a loop rope section 10, which is connected in the lower area to the traction means, the hanging furniture item or both.
- a suspension means 32 preferably a hook
- handle height is understood here a range that can usually be reached by a person with their hands. Starting from a floor level and depending on the size of a person, the handle height is usually between 0 and 220 cm.
- a handle height of between 30 cm and 210 cm is usually sufficient, with the handle height being between 100 cm and 210 cm in the specific exemplary embodiment.
- the specified handle height is measured from the floor, ie the floor level. If the hanging furniture is arranged at a distance from the floor level, the handle height can also be increased by the distance factor from the floor.
- the respective suspension 30 on one side has a swiveling bracket 33 in the form of a flat bar, each with a screwed-on eyelet nut or an eyebolt 34.
- the footrest is suspended on the two eyebolts, so that two pivot points located at a distance A from each other, once for the ropes of the seat element and once for the traction means of the footrest.
- the elements of the suspension can of course also be made differently.
- One-piece or solidly joined designs are conceivable. Instead of flat iron, glass fiber, carbon fiber reinforced or other materials can also be used. Likewise, these elements can have additional holes to anchor them in the supporting ceiling. In addition, they can have additional hanging loops.
- the two-sided Suspension points can also be constructively connected to one another.
- a rail or load-bearing plate that can be screwed to a ceiling containing the suspensions for the main element, while the arms for the footrest can be swung out, pulled out or otherwise, e.g. B. firmly connected to this.
- the figure 5 first shows the folded seat element without support, comprising the seat surface 1, the backrest 2 and the headrest 3.
- the arrangement of the screwed metal hinge 4 ensures that the seat surface and backrest lie on top of one another.
- the textile hinge 5 is attached in such a way that the headrest 3 is positioned parallel in a hollow space between the seat surface and the backrest. Furthermore, the unfolding of the furniture is shown schematically and in steps in each case in the direction of the arrow.
- the piece of furniture is in a fully unfolded or slightly angled state figure 6 usable as a so-called love swing. After the footrest has been removed, foot loops 35 can be hooked into the remaining loop rope sections 28 by means of snap hooks, but here so-called bolt carabiners 36 are preferred.
- the piece of furniture unfolded to form a bed has a slight incline downwards in the direction of the head part due to a precisely measured ratio of the cables 6 and 7 .
- the center of gravity S of a lying person ensures that the furniture pivots into a horizontal position.
- the inclination can also be adjusted. Because as in the top view of the furniture, here without support in figure 7 shown, the front ropes 6 of the piece of furniture, which are guided through holes 37 in the screwed-on side parts 38 and secured with knots, can be pulled together and fixed with the help of further looped rope sections 39 and another snap hook 40, which leads to an inclination adjustment of the entire hanging piece of furniture.
- the components also shown on the left show the foam inserts 20 and the adjustment straps 41 for the headrest 3, with the local attachment points 42 and the strap guides 43 on a stabilizing rectangular rod 44.
- This rod like the foam inserts 20, is flatter held as the side parts 38, so that the headrest 3 can be folded in the direction of the backrest by means of a textile hinge 5.
- the straps 41 each have an adjustment buckle 45 so that the inclination of the headrest can be varied.
- the recesses 54 in the lower side parts 38 are provided for the adjustment cables 11, which are guided inwards past the metal hinges 4 through the associated bores and secured with knots.
- the figure on the right shows the underside of the unfolded piece of furniture with the textile hinge 5 and the elastic cords 46 with the attachment points on the headrest 47 and the holes 48 in the backrest plate 49 through which these cords are guided and fixed with knots on the back.
- the backrest plate 49 and the seat surface plate 50 are screwed onto the associated side parts 38 at the points subjected to greater loads by means of screws with wide heads 51 and additional gluing.
- the structure of the footrest 22 is shown.
- This comprises a rigid base material, here a layered plywood panel 52, reinforced on the sides by smaller panels 53 and with a foam covering 23.
- figure 8 shows sections of the cable bushings, at the top in the central area of the backrest 2 with the cable 7 and at the bottom in the area of the metal hinge 4 of the seat 1.
