Description

Multipurpose furniture

The invention relates to a multipurpose furniture for children.

Children's furniture is known, for example, in the form of children's chairs, high chairs for children, children swinging rockers, children's armchairs. These pieces of furniture usually allow the user, depending on their function and the design solution, only the function for which they are built, e.g. Sitting, falling or rocking.

There are children's high chairs are known, which have a height-adjustable seat and a height-adjustable footprints for the feet. By translational height adjustment of the elements, the chair can be adapted to the growth of the children. Such chairs are known inter alia from DE 2421259A 1 DE 93 12 656 U 1, DE 20316254 U 1 and DE 102010051301 A 1, wherein in DE 102010051301 Al and the backrests is parallel back and forth adjustable. An advantage of these furniture is that they are adaptable to the size of the child to allow ergonomic sitting, disadvantageous is reduced to the seating function.

From DE 202013102602 Ul a multipurpose furniture is known, which can be used as a high seat and rocking rocker, wherein the conversion is effected by pivoting the elements of the frame to each other, wherein in this pivotal movement, a rigid seat member is brought from a first position to a second position.

From DE9200975 (Ul) a multi-purpose furniture is known, which can be used as a raised seat and rocking rocker, with a fixed position is provided for the Hochsitzfünktion and for the rocking rocker function, in which a seat is mounted or mounted. If two seats are available, the conversion of the furniture is done by simply folding, otherwise the entire seat must be remounted. From DE29905578U1 a multi-purpose furniture is known, which can be used as a high chair, rocking rocker and as a vehicle. The multi-purpose furniture comprises a rigid frame and a rigid seat element, which is fastened to different positions of the frame depending on the desired function. The disadvantage is that the conversion of the furniture is always associated with complete disassembly and reassembly of the rigid seat element.

From DE 202014002423 U 1 a rigid multi-purpose furniture is known, which includes the functions high seat, table and rocker. The functions are changed by placing the furniture on one of three sides. The disadvantage is that many different elements are present, which connect the two side parts at fixed predetermined positions. Due to the many rigid elements, the seating position is strictly defined in the individual functions, so that no adjustment to the body size can be made. The many elements also increase the weight and production costs of the furniture.

The US 188120 A shows a high chair, which can also be used as a swing or vehicle. The backrest and the seat when used as a high chair are rigidly connected together and together form an adjustable element, which between a first position and a second Position can be pivoted. The disadvantage is that the seat and the backrest are rigidly connected to each other, thus the possible uses are limited.

The EP 2394534 Al shows a multifunctional furniture. In the embodiments according to FIGS. 1-6 of EP 2394534 A1, all elements are rigidly located between the two side parts. Adjustable elements are not available. The disadvantage seems, inter alia, the high weight, due to the large number of rigid elements. In the embodiment according to FIG. 7 of EP 2394534, four of the rigid elements are each movable at one end along a circular arc guide track, while the other end is pivoted about a fixed axis of rotation. This measure does not reduce the number of elements.

The US 1326415 A shows a piece of furniture, which has rigid elements and rotatably adjustable elements. The adjustment of the adjustable elements is done by pivoting about a fixed axis. A disadvantage of the device seem the high weight due to the many elements and the limited adjustability due to the adjustment of the elements about fixed axes.

EP 3305136 A1 shows a multipurpose chair in which the seating surface and the backrest are formed of a flexible sheet.

Fig. 9: shows the second particularly preferred embodiment of the inventive

Multipurpose furniture with a seat reduction mounted thereon. The particularly preferred multi-purpose furniture 1 illustrated in FIGS. 1-5 has two side parts 2, in the form of a first side part 2a and a second side part 2b, which have the same shape and size. The side parts 2a, 2b are connected by two connecting elements in the form of a backrest 3 and a rod 4. These connecting elements are firmly connected to the side parts 2, for example by dowels and / or screws.

The multipurpose furniture 1 also has as adjustable elements a first plate 5 and a second plate 6, which can be brought into several different positions.

The side parts 2a, 2b are each in the form of a single continuous element in the form of an approximately y-shaped plate. Each plate thus has three arms, each arm having a rounded end portion 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b. The edge of the side parts 2a, 2b has a curved course between the end regions 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b. The course between two adjoining end regions 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b could less preferably also be straight, but this is rather rejected for aesthetic and weight reasons.

As can be seen in FIGS. 1-3, when used as a high chair, the multipurpose furniture 1 stands on the four end areas 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b. The edge of each side part 2 extends between its end portions 7 and 8 inwardly arched to the center of the side part 2 out. On the seen when using a high chair front, a table not shown facing side of the multi-purpose furniture 1, the edge of each side part 2 extends outwardly arched from the end portion 7 to the end portion 9 to form the rocking skids 10. Particularly preferred is the rocking skids 10 each a softer and / or elastic material strips attached, for example made of rubber or felt, which allows a quiet and gentle rolling on the ground. From the end region 9 to the end region 8, the edge of each side part 2 extends inwardly towards the center of the side part 2.

Each side member 2 thus has an arcuate portion which extends between the end portions 7 and 9 and which is bent outwardly on one side and bent inwardly on the other side and wherein approximately centrally on the inwardly bent side of the arm with the end region 8 protrudes. If the side parts 2 are composed of a plurality of individual elements, it is advisable to manufacture the arcuate region and the arm which has the end region 8 as individual parts and preferably permanently, for example with glue.

The rod 4 connects the end portions 8a and 8b of the two side parts 2a, 2b and serves when used as rocking rocker as a support rod as shown in Fig. 5 can be seen.

The backrest 3 connects the end regions 9a and 9b of the two side parts 2a, 2b and serves as a backrest when used as a high chair and is slightly inclined backwards as seen in this case. As can be seen in FIGS. 1-3, the first plate 5 when used as a high chair, the seat and the second plate 6, the Fußabstützfläche, so that a highchair is realized with the usual structure. As illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, the first plate 5 can be adjusted between two horizontal positions. In Fig. 2, the selected position A of the first plate 5 is shown in bold, wherein the other possible positions are shown with a lower line weight. As can be seen from FIGS. 2-5, the first plate 5 can be adjusted between four positions A, B, C, D.

As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the plate 6 can be adjusted between two horizontal positions. In Fig. 2, the selected position E of the plate 6 is shown in bold, the other possible positions are shown with a lower line thickness. As can be seen from Figs. 2-5, the second plate 6 can be adjusted between three positions E, F, G.

The adjustment of the first plate 5 takes place along guides 11, 12 wherein the guides 1 la and 1 lb each extend through the entire material thickness of the side parts 2a, 2b and the guides l2a, l2b not.

The adjustment of the second plate 6 takes place along guides 13, 14, whereby the guides 13a and 13b each extend through the entire material thickness of the side parts 2a, 2b and the guides 14a, 14b do not.

The first plate 5 has a guide element 16 for the guides 11a, 1b, which project outwardly through the side parts 2a, 2b and can be fixed there in their position with fixing elements 15. The first plate 5 has for the guides 12a, 2b each have a guide element 17, which projects into the respective guide groove and ends in this.

The second plate 6 has for the guides l3a, l3b depending on a guide element 16, which project through the side parts 2a, 2b to the outside and can be fixed there with fixing elements 15 in position. The second plate 6 has for the guides L4a, L4b depending on a guide element 17, which projects into the respective guide groove and ends in this.

Preferably, the two guide elements 16 of each plate 5, 6 may be formed by a single element, for example a threaded rod, a threaded bolt or a screw, which extends through the entire plate 5, 6 and protrudes from this on both sides.

Preferably, the two guide elements 17 of each plate 5, 6 may be formed by a single element, for example a threaded rod, a threaded bolt or a screw, which extends through the entire plate 5, 6 and protrudes on both sides of this.

When used as a high chair, starting from the position A of the first plate 5, none of the guides 11a, 1b and guides 12a, 12b descend so that the first plate 5 can only leave this position against the force of gravity and thus even when the fixing element 15 is loosened There is no danger of falling due to independent adjustment of the first plate 5.

In the position B as shown in Fig. 3, the guides run 1 la, 1 lb and guides l2a, l2b starting from the position B in both possible directions slightly inclined upward, so that adjustment is possible only against the weight.

The same applies to the guides 13, 14 and the positions E and F of the second plate 6.

When used as a staircase or table with seat, as shown in Fig. 4, the first plate 5 was brought into position C, wherein the first plate 5 in position C, the first plate 5 in position A and / or B. would cross. Starting from the position C, none of the guides 11, 12 extends downwards, so that here too adjustment is only possible against the weight force.

When used as a staircase or table with bench, as shown in Fig. 4, the second plate 6 was brought into position G, wherein the second plate 6 would cross in position G, the second plate 6 in position F. Starting from the position G, none of the guides 13, 14 extends downwards, so that here too adjustment is only possible against the weight force.

The second plate 6 serves as a table, or as an upper step, and the first plate 5 as a bench or as a lower step.

When used as a rocking rocker, as shown in Fig. 5, the first plate 5 was brought into position D, wherein starting from the position D none of the guides 11, 12 extends downwards, so that here adjustment is possible only against the weight. The first plate 5 serves as a bench, the rod 4 as a support rod and the second plate 6 can be used as a footrest.

The invention has been exemplified with reference to a particularly preferred variant of the invention, with some modifications are conceivable within the scope of the invention. For example, only the positions A, C, D and E, G could be realized, or in addition to the positions A and B and E and F further positions for height adjustment of the plates 5, 6 when used as a high chair. As an alternative or in addition to the guides 11, 13, the guides 12, 14 could also extend to the outside of the side parts 2 and be provided with fixing elements 15. At the end portions 8, 9 wheels may be mounted so that the furniture in the position shown in Fig. 4 can also be used as a vehicle.

The backrest could be fixed in a variety of positions by a prior art known means, for example by providing rows of holes into which screws and / or dowels of the backrest may protrude.

On the side which is the top of the second plate in Fig. 4, articles may be mounted or mountable, such as a steering wheel, tool holder, or cup holder. Alternatively or additionally, depressions may be provided, for example in order to place plates, cups, toys or tools therein. On the rod 4 toys such as rotatable cube, a steering wheel or an animal, in particular a horse's head can be mounted or mounted (as imitation of course). Preferably, the rod 4 may have centrally a bore through which, for example, the handlebar of the steering wheel or the rod of a hobbyhorse can be placed.

Instead of the second plate 6, a three-dimensional object can be used as an adjustable element, in particular a flat chest or a plate with compartment, similar to a school desk.

When used as a highchair in small children, it is provided that a fall arrester is mounted. Such a fall arrest device is known in the art and comprises an element in the form of a strap or rigid strap which extends from one side part to the other, or from the backrest archwise to the front and back to the backrest, with a central one second Element from the first element of the fall protection down to the seat or to the first plate. 5 runs so that the child can not slip down. In addition, it is provided as a possible extension that in addition to or independent of the fall protection a plate is mounted above the seat, which serves as a table top for the high chair.

In addition, it is provided as a possible extension that an adapter is mounted on the backrest or on the side parts, for example, is plugged, which is used to attach a baby carrier.

In addition, it is envisaged as a possible extension that an oblique or straight lying surface for babies on the backrest or the side panels is attached so that even babies who can not even sit down to use the high chair can.

Advantageously, the fall protection, infant carrier or lying surface can also be mounted in the swinging position, on or above the first plate 5 in FIG. 5.

At the end region 7, an additional connecting element 19 could be present to make the furniture even more stable.

In Fig. 6, a less preferred generalization of the subject invention is shown, in which the plates 5, 6 must first be completely removed from the multi-purpose furniture 1 for conversion and then reused, as is known in principle from children's high chairs according to the prior art , In this variant, the furniture guide grooves 18, wherein the plates 5, 6 are held directly with their side edges in the guide grooves 18, ie without guide elements 16, 17th

Different from this prior art is firstly the particular shape with rocking skids 10 and secondly that the guide grooves 18 are not arranged exclusively in parallel, that is to say they have different spatial orientations. In particular, it is extraordinary that guide grooves 18 of the side parts 2 even intersect.

In Fig. 6 for the height adjustment of the seat plate and the base plate of the high chair and the rocking rocker each more, namely three, parallel guide grooves 18 are shown, which allow a multi-level, in this case three-stage, height adjustment. Such a multi-level height adjustment by parallel guide grooves 18 can also be realized for the table top and / or seat, to make a height adjustment even when using as shown in Fig. 4 can.

Of course, a multi-level height adjustment is also possible with the preferred system described with reference to FIGS. 1-5 and has already been shown in two stages for the seat surface and foot support surface of the highchair. Of course, a higher-level adjustment of this is possible and / or a multi-stage adjustment in the other positions C, D, G, if the guideway is adjusted accordingly.

In Fig. 7, another less preferred generalization of the subject invention is shown, in which the plates 5, 6 must first be completely removed from the multi-purpose furniture 1 to rebuild and then reused. For this purpose, the side parts 2 have two holes 20 at each position on which one of the plates 5, 6 can be attached. The plates 5, 6 have fastening elements 21, which protrude through holes 20 in the mounted state. For example, each fastening element 21 may be a threaded bolt or a screw, which is screwed through the respective side part 2 a, 2 b into the respective plate 5, 6. Alternatively, continuous Fixing elements 21 are used in the form of threaded rods, or bolts or screws, which each extend through the entire plate 5, 6 and can be completely removed from this. For fastening, the plates 5, 6 are placed between the side parts 2a, 2b and the continuous fastening elements 21 are subsequently guided through the through-holes of the side parts 2 and plates 5, 6. The continuous fastening elements 21 may have on one side a head or an already screwed nut and be fixed on the other side with a lock nut. What is unusual about this variant with provision of holes 20 in the side parts 2 is that the adjustable element has two fastening elements 21 on each of two sides which each project into a hole 20 and at least two pairs of holes 20 for the fastening elements 21 are provided for the change in position are, whose imaginary connecting lines have a different spatial orientation. The imaginary connecting lines are thus not parallel.

In Fig. 7, an additional position H is shown, to which one of the plates 5, 6 or a specially constructed additional seat can be mounted to make the multipurpose furniture 1 as a chair for large children to adults available.

The position H could also be provided in the preferred variant of FIGS. 1-5 in the guides 11, 12. Alternatively, in addition to existing guides 11, 12 of FIGS. 1-5 holes 20 may be present at the position H to there for later use of the multipurpose furniture 1 after toddler age a specially constructed additional seat according to the method described in Fig. 7 assemble. The specially constructed additional seat at position H could also be mounted with guide grooves 18 as illustrated in FIG.

In the later use of the multi-purpose furniture 1 after the toddler age, the plates 5 and / or 6 can also be completely removed from the multipurpose 1 and only a seat at position H be present.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the multi-purpose furniture 1 according to the invention can also have rollers 22 or wheels which are mounted in the region of the two end areas 8a and 8b and which project beyond the end areas 8a and 8b when used as a high chair so that the highchair stands on the two rollers 22 and not on the end portions 8a and 8b of the side parts 2a, 2b. Advantageously, the rollers 22 may be vertically adjustable when used as a highchair, so that the highchair is optional on the rollers 22 or on the end portions 8a and 8b. The rollers 22 may be mounted inside or outside the side parts 2a, 2b, or integrated into the side parts 2a, 2b. The rollers 22 serve to make the high chair easier to move. In addition, the rollers 22 ensure that when a child with feet from a table or a wall pushes or repels, the chair does not tip over backwards, but rolls back.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, in the area between the end portions 7a and 7b, a rod 23 can be mounted, which connects the side parts 2a and 2b and so contributes to the stability of the multi-purpose furniture 1. In addition, the rod 23 can be used as an assembly aid, For example, in the swing position (Fig. 5) or table position (Fig. 4) additional toys, such as horse heads, cube wheels, steering wheels, etc. can be mounted.
