Abstract

The invention relates to a chair comprising a seat (10), which is at least partially filled with an elastic padding material (1), and/or comprising a chair back (11) that is also filled in such a manner. A padded support, which can be adapted in a versatile manner, is obtained by virtue of the fact that the padding material (1) is accommodated inside an air-tight enclosure (3), which has an opening (2) that can be closed in an air-tight manner. In addition, the enclosure (3) can be expanded in size due to the elasticity of the porous padding material (1) that has air pockets, whereby air is sucked into the enclosure when the opening (2) is not closed, and the enclosure can be decreased in size by applying external pressure thereon thereby forcing air out of the enclosure.

Description

S t u h lS t u h l
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Stuhl mit einem mit elastischem Polstermaterial zumindest teilweise ausgefüllten Sitz und/oder einer so ausgefüllten Rückenlehne.The invention relates to a chair with a seat at least partially filled with elastic cushioning material and / or a backrest filled in this way.
Ein derartiger Stuhl mit einem gepolsterten Sitz und einer gepolsterten Rückenlehne ist an sich vielfach, u.a. auch als Bürostuhl, bekannt. Häufig sind solche Polsterungen unzureichend an die abzustützenden Körperpartien angepasst. Um die Abstützung zu verbessern, sind beispielsweise schon verstellbare, an sich relativ harte Lordosenstützen vorgeschlagen worden, die bezüglich des Rückens hinter. einer Polsterung der Rückenlehne höhenverstellbar gelagert sind.Such a chair with an upholstered seat and an upholstered backrest is known per se in many cases, including as an office chair. Such upholstery is often insufficiently adapted to the parts of the body to be supported. To improve the support, for example, are already adjustable Relatively hard lumbar supports have been proposed regarding the back behind. an upholstery of the backrest are height adjustable.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Stuhl mit gepolstertem Sitz und/ oder gepolsterter Rückenlehne bereit zu stellen, bei dem die Abstützung durch die Polsterung auf einfache Weise besser an die abzustützenden Körperpartien angepasst ist.The invention has for its object to provide a chair with an upholstered seat and / or upholstered backrest, in which the support by the upholstery is in a simple manner better adapted to the parts of the body to be supported.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Hiernach ist vorgesehen, dass das Polstermaterial in einer luftdicht ausgebildeten Hülle aufgenommen ist, die eine luftdicht verschließbare Öffnung aufweist und dass die Hülle mittels der Elastizität des porösen, Lufteinschlüsse aufweisenden Polstermaterials und dadurch bei freigegebener Öffnung eingesaugter Luft in ihren aufgeblähten Zustand bringbar und durch Aufbringen von äußerem Druck unter Austritt von Luft in einen weniger aufgeblähten Zustand bringbar ist.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. According to this, it is provided that the cushioning material is accommodated in an airtight envelope which has an airtight sealable opening and that the cover can be brought into its inflated state by the elasticity of the porous cushioning material having air inclusions and thereby air sucked in when the opening is opened and by applying external pressure with the escape of air can be brought into a less inflated state.
Im vollständig aufgeblähten Zustand der Hülle, der allein durch die Wirkung der Elastizitätskräfte des Polstermaterials und die dadurch einströmende Luft erhalten wird, ergibt sich eine relativ harte Abstützung, nachdem die Öffnung verschlossen ist. Für eine weichere Abstützung braucht bei freigegebener Öffnung lediglich durch Drücken auf die Hülle aus dieser Luft abgelassen und die Öffnung in dem gewünschten weniger aufgeblähten Zustand verschlossen zu werden. Der vollständig aufgeblähte Zustand wird durch die Elastizitätskraft und die einströmende Luft bei freigegebener Öffnung von selbst wieder eingenommen. Ein für die Herstellung und Funktion vorteilhafter Aufbau besteht darin, dass das iPolstermaterial ein offenporiger Schaumstoffkörper ist.In the fully inflated state of the casing, which is obtained solely through the action of the elastic forces of the cushioning material and the air flowing in as a result, there is a relatively hard support after the opening is closed. For a softer support, when the opening is released, it is only necessary to deflate this air by pressing on the casing and to close the opening in the desired, less inflated state. The completely inflated state is automatically taken up again by the elastic force and the inflowing air when the opening is released. A construction which is advantageous for production and function is that the iPolster material is an open-cell foam body.
Eine Möglichkeit, das Einströmen und Ausströmen der Luft beeinflussen zu können, besteht darin, dass die Öffnung als Ventil ausgebildet ist. Das Ventil kann dabei zum Regulieren des Luftstromes ausgeführt bzw. als Einström- oder Ausströmventil ausgebildet sein.One possibility of being able to influence the inflow and outflow of air is that the opening is designed as a valve. The valve can be designed to regulate the air flow or be designed as an inflow or outflow valve.
Eine für die Handhabung, einen Einbau und für eine stabile Formgebung günstiger Aufbau ergibt sich dadurch, dass die Hülle mit dem Polstermaterial ein Kissen bildet, das auf einer Seite mit einer plattenartigen oder schalenartigen Versteifung versehen ist.A structure which is favorable for handling, installation and for stable shaping results from the fact that the cover forms a cushion with the cushioning material, which is provided on one side with a plate-like or shell-like stiffening.
Um die Polsterung zusätzlich zu ihrer Härte variabel positionieren zu können, sind weiterhin die Maßnahmen vorteilhaft, dass die Rückenlehne mit der das Polstermaterial aufweisenden Hülle als Ganzes höhenverstellbar ist oder dass das Kissen in Form der Hülle mit dem Polstermaterial relativ zu einem Rückenlehnenträger höhenverstellbar gelagert und geführt und mit einer von .der Außenseite der ' Rückenlehne her betätigbaren Handhabe verbunden ist.In order to be able to variably position the upholstery in addition to its hardness, the measures are further advantageous in that the backrest with the cover having the cushioning material as a whole is height-adjustable or that the cushion in the form of the cover with the cushioning material is mounted and guided in a height-adjustable manner relative to a backrest support and is connected to a handle which can be actuated from the outside of the backrest.
Eine stabile Anordnung und günstige Bedienung ergeben sich dadurch, dass die Führung und die Handhabe an der Versteifung angeordnet sind.A stable arrangement and inexpensive operation result from the fact that the guide and the handle are arranged on the stiffening.
Weitere günstige Maßnahmen für den Aufbau bestehen darin, dass die Handhabe im Bereich der Öffnung angeordnet ist oder dass die Öffnung selbst als Handhabe ausgebildet ist. Im Bereich der Öffnung ist die Hülle in der Regel verstärkt, so dass in diesem Bereich die Handhabe mechanisch stabil angebracht werden kann, sofern sie nicht ohnehin an der Versteifung . angebracht wird. Außerdem kann ein Zugangsbereich für die Öffnung und die Handhabe gemeinsam benutzt werden.Further favorable measures for the construction are that the handle is arranged in the area of the opening or that the opening itself is designed as a handle. In the area of the opening, the shell is usually reinforced, so that in this area the handle can be attached mechanically stable, provided that it is not already attached to the stiffening. is attached. In addition, an access area for the opening and the handle can be shared.

Fig. 6 einen Stuhl mit Polsterung, bei dem ein Kissen nach Fig. 5 zur Polsterung in der Rückenlehne eingebaut ist.Fig. 6 shows a chair with upholstery, in which a cushion according to Fig. 5 is installed for upholstery in the backrest.
Fig. 1 zeigt ein Polster in Form eines Kissens 20 mit einer luftdichten Hülle 3, die mit einer verschließbaren Öffnung 2 versehen ist. In der Hülle 3 ist, wie Fig. 2 zeigt, ein poröses, vorzugsweise einstückiges elastisches Polstermaterial 1 eingebracht, das offenporig ist und Lufteinschlüsse enthält. Die Öffnung 2 isi .als Ventil ausgebildet und mit einem Verschlussmechanismus versehen. Mittels der Elastizitätskräfte des Polstermaterials 1 wird bei geöffnetem Ventil die Hülle 3 selbsttätig durch die dabei einströmende Luft in ihre aufgeblähte Form gebracht, während ein weniger aufgeblähter Zustand durch Drücken auf die Hülle 3 bei geöffnetem Ventil 2 nach Ausströmen der Luft einstellbar ist. Als Polstermaterial eignet sich beispielsweise ein elastischer, poröser Schaumstoff.Fig. 1 shows a cushion in the form of a pillow 20 with an airtight cover 3, which is provided with a closable opening 2. In the casing 3, as in FIG. 2 shows, introduced a porous, preferably one-piece elastic cushioning material 1, which is open-pore and contains air pockets. The opening 2 is formed as a valve and provided with a closing mechanism. By means of the elastic forces of the cushioning material 1, the cover 3 is automatically brought into its inflated shape by the air flowing in when the valve is open, while a less inflated state can be adjusted by pressing on the cover 3 when the valve 2 is open after the air has flowed out. For example, an elastic, porous foam is suitable as the cushioning material.
Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 3 ist die Öffnung 2 in einer Ecke des kis- senförmigen Polsters 20 und bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 4 an einem unteren Randbereich des kissenförmigen Polsters bzw. Kissens 20 angebracht. Bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 5 ist das Kissen 20 mit der luftundurchlässigen Hülle 3 auf einer plattenförmigen Versteifung 5 aufgebracht und die Öffnung bzw., das Ventil 2 im Bereich der Versteifung 5 angebracht. Das Ventil 2 selbst ist zu einer Handhabe 4 ausgeformt, die alternativ auch an einer anderen Stelle, vorzugsweise im Bereich der Versteifung 5 mit dem Kissen 20 verbunden sein kann. Seitliche Randbereiche .der Versteifung oder aber auf der Versteifung 5 aufgebrachte oder eingebrachte Rippen oder Nuten bzw. Zapfen dienen als Führung 5.1 , die mit entsprechenden Führungselementen an einer Rückenlehne 1 1 oder einem Sitz 10 eines Stuhls zum Ändern der Position des Kissens relativ zu dem Sitz 10 oder der Rückenlehne 1 1 zusammenwirken, wie Fig. 6 erkennen lässt.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3, the opening 2 is provided in a corner of the cushion-shaped cushion 20 and in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 4 on a lower edge region of the cushion-shaped cushion or cushion 20. In the embodiment of Fig. 5, the pad 20 is applied with the air impermeable envelope 3 on a plate-shaped stiffener 5 and attached to the opening or the valve 2 in the region of the stiffener 5. The valve 2 itself is shaped into a handle 4, which can alternatively be connected to the cushion 20 at another location, preferably in the area of the stiffening 5. Lateral edge regions. Of the stiffening or ribs or grooves or pins applied or introduced on the stiffening 5 serve as guides 5.1, which with corresponding guide elements on a backrest 11 or a seat 10 of a chair for changing the position of the cushion relative to the seat 10 or the backrest 11 cooperate, as shown in FIG. 6.
Bei dem Stuhl nach Fig. 6 ist ein Kissen 20 mit einer Versteifung 5 zur Abstützung an der Rückenlehne 1 1 angeordnet und kann mittels einer Handhabe 4, die auf der Rückseite eines Rückenlehnenträgers 1 1 .2 zugänglich ist, in der Höhe verstellt werden. Das Kissen 20 ist dabei mit einer plattenartigen Versteifung 5 versehen, an der die Handhabe 4 angebracht ist, und die an.dem Rückenlehnenträger 1 1 .2 geführt gelagert ist. Das Kissen 20 ist dabei in einem Rückenteil 1 1.4, d.h. unteren Teil der Rückenlehne 1 1 zwischen dem Rückenlehnenträger 1 1 .2 unter einem Außenbezug 1 1 .1 angeordnet, kann aber auch ohne den Außenbezug 1 1 .1 auf dem Rückenlehnenträger 1 1.2 aufgebracht sein. Weitere derartige Kissenanordnungen können mit oder ohne Verstellmechanismus auch im Bereich des Sitzes 10 und/oder eines Kopfteiles 1 1.3 der Rückenlehne 1 1 angebracht sein. Eine Änderung der Abstützung wird auch bereits ohne Verschiebbarkeit des Kissens 20 im Rückenteil 1 1.4 nur durch Ändern des Aufblähzustandes des Kissens 20 erreicht. Ergänzend kann eine herkömmliche Polsterung verwendet werden.6, a cushion 20 with a stiffening 5 for support on the backrest 11 is arranged and can be adjusted in height by means of a handle 4, which is accessible on the back of a backrest support 11.2 become. The pillow 20 is provided with a plate-like stiffening 5, on which the handle 4 is attached, and on . the backrest support 1 1 .2 is mounted guided. The cushion 20 is arranged in a back part 1 1.4, ie the lower part of the backrest 11 between the backrest support 11.2 under an outer cover 11.1, but can also be applied to the backrest support 11.2 without the outer cover 11.1 his. Further cushion arrangements of this type can also be fitted with or without an adjustment mechanism in the region of the seat 10 and / or a head part 11.3 of the backrest 11. A change in the support is achieved even without the cushion 20 being displaceable in the back part 1 1.4 only by changing the inflated state of the cushion 20. In addition, conventional upholstery can be used.
Mittels des Kissens 20 kann in der oben beschriebenen Weise eine mehr oder weniger harte Abslützung der zugekehrten Körperpartien von dem Benut?er auf einfache Weise individuell eingestellt werden. Beispielsweise lässt sich damit eine vielseitig einstellbare Lordosenstütze verwirklichen. By means of the cushion 20, a more or less hard protection of the facing parts of the body from the user can be individually adjusted in a simple manner. For example, it can be used to implement a lumbar support that can be adjusted in many ways.
