Description

Die vorliegende Neuerung betrifft einen Liegesessel mit einer am Sitz schwenkbar angeschlossenen Rückenlehne sowie einem am vorderen Sitzende angeschlossenen Fußteil, welches aus einer Nichtgebrauchsstellung unterhalb des Sitzes in eine Gebrauchsstellung etwa in Höhe des Sitzes verschwenkbar ist, wobei Rückenlehne, Sitz und Fußteil als Rohrrahmenteile ausgebildet und insgesamt an ortsfest an Gestellseitenwangen festgelegten Streben angeschlossen sind und zur Verschwenkung des Fußteiles jeweils zwei Gelenklaschen vorgesehen sind, von denen je eine an einer Strebe schwenkbar angeschlossen ist.The present innovation relates to a recliner with a backrest pivotably connected to the seat and a foot part connected to the front end of the seat, which can be pivoted from a non-use position below the seat into a use position at approximately the height of the seat, the backrest, seat and foot part being designed as tubular frame parts and overall are connected to struts fixed in place on frame side walls and two articulated brackets are provided for pivoting the foot part, one of which is pivotally connected to a strut.

Liegesessel der vorerwähnten Art sind (wie z.B. aus der DE-U-8 706 856) an sich bekannt.Loungers of the aforementioned type are known per se (as e.g. from DE-U-8 706 856).

Bei den bekannten Konstruktionen ist die Rückenlehne unmittelbar schwenkbar an den ortsfesten Streben angeschlossen. Hieraus resultiert, daß eine Verschwenkung der Rückenlehne zwangsläufig zu einer Veränderung des Sitzwinkels führt, d.h. , daß auch bei geringfügigen Verschwenkungen der Rückenlehne eine Vergrößerung des Sitzwinkels herbeigeführt wird. Für die Einnahme von Ruhe- Zwischenstellungen ist dies weniger wünschenswert.In the known constructions, the backrest is directly pivotally connected to the fixed struts. The result of this is that pivoting the backrest inevitably leads to a change in the seat angle, ie that the seat angle is increased even with slight pivoting of the backrest. For taking rest This is less desirable in intermediate positions.

Der vorliegenden Neuerung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Liegesessel der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, bei dem vielfältige Verschwenk- oder Verstellpositionen möglich sind, wobei über einen gewissen Bereich der Verstellung eine Änderung des Sitzwinkels ausgeschlossen sein soll.The present innovation is based on the task of creating a reclining chair of the generic type in which a variety of pivoting or adjusting positions are possible, a change in the seat angle being excluded over a certain range of the adjustment.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird gemäß vorliegender Neuerung ein Liegesessel der gattungsgemäßen Art vorgeschlagen, bei dem die Rückenlehne über mehrteilige Schwenkbeschläge mit den Streben und dem Sitz verbunden ist, wobei die Schwenkbeschläge jeweils aus einer am unteren Ende der Rückenlehne angeschlossenen Schwenklasche, einer damit gelenkig verbundenen und andererseits schwenkbar am Sitz angeschlossenen Lasche sowie einem einerseits an der ortsfesten Strebe und andererseits an der Lasche gelenkig angeschlossenen Schwenkhebel bestehen, wobei der Verschwenkbereich zwischen der Schwenklasche und der Lasche einerseits und zwischen Lasche und Schwenkhebel andererseits durch Anschlagbolzen begrenzt ist und daß der Schwenkwinkel der an den Streben angelenkten Gelenklaschen für die Fußteilverstellung durch an den Streben befestigte Endanschläge begrenzt ist.To solve this problem, according to the present innovation, a recliner of the generic type is proposed, in which the backrest is connected to the struts and the seat by means of multi-part swivel fittings, the swivel fittings each consisting of a swivel bracket connected to the lower end of the backrest, an articulated and connected to it on the other hand, pivotally connected to the seat bracket and on the one hand to the fixed strut and on the other hand to the bracket articulated pivoting lever, the pivoting range between the pivoting bracket and the bracket on the one hand and between the bracket and the pivoting lever on the other hand is limited by stop bolts and that the pivoting angle of the to Struts articulated link plates for foot section adjustment is limited by end stops attached to the struts.

Ein derart konzipierter Liegesessel ermöglicht es, Sitz und Rückenlehne aus der normalen Sitzposition heraus unter Hochschwenkung des Fußteiles zu verschwenken, ohne hierbei zunächst den Sitzwinkel zu verändern. Eine weitere Verschwenkung der Rückenlehne in Richtung einer Liegestellung bewirkt dann eine Vergrößerung bzw. Aufweitung des Winkels zwischen Sitz und Rückenlehne bis in die Liegestellung hinein, so daß ein Benutzer eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten vorfindet, um besonders angenehm empfundene Zwischenstellungen einnehmen zu können.A recliner designed in this way enables the seat and backrest to be swiveled out of the normal sitting position by swiveling the foot section upwards without first changing the seat angle. Another swiveling of the backrest towards a lying position then causes an increase or widening of the angle between the seat and backrest into the lying position, so that a user finds a variety of ways to take intermediate positions which are particularly pleasant.

Weitere Merkmale der Neuerung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.Further features of the innovation are the subject of subclaims.

Der in den Fig. 1 bis 4 dargestellte, insgesamt mit dem Bezugszeichen 10 versehene Liegesessel weist eine am Sitz 11 schwenkbar angeschlossene Rückenlehne 12 sowie ein am vorderen Sitzende angeschlossenes Fußteil 13 auf. Das Fußteil 13 kann als geschlossener Rohrrahmen ausgebildet sein.1 to 4, generally provided with the reference numeral 10, has a backrest 12 pivotally connected to the seat 11 and a foot part 13 connected to the front end of the seat. The foot part 13 can be designed as a closed tubular frame.

Das Fußteil 13 ist über , zwei Gelenklaschen 14 und 15, die an den beiden Längsseiten des Liegesessels angeordnet sind, aus seiner Nichtgebrauchsstellung unterhalb des Sitzes 11 (s. Fig 1) in eine Gebrauchsstellung verschwenkbar, in der dieses besagte Fußteil 13 dann etwa in Höhe des Sitzes 11 liegt (s. Fig. 3 u.4).The foot part 13 can be pivoted via two articulated brackets 14 and 15, which are arranged on the two long sides of the reclining chair, from its non-use position below the seat 11 (see FIG. 1) into a position of use, in which said foot part 13 is then approximately in height the seat 11 is located (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

Der Sitz 11 und die Rückenlehne 12 sind ebenfalls vorteilhafterweise als Rohrrahmenteile ausgebildet und insgesamt an Streben 17 befestigt, die ihrerseits an nicht weiter dargestellten Gestellseitenwangen 16 des Liegesessels 10 ortsfest montiert sind. Die Streben 17 können Seitenteile eines U-förmigen, vorzugsweise nach hinten geöffneten, Rohrrahmens sein.The seat 11 and the backrest 12 are also advantageously designed as tubular frame parts and overall fastened to struts 17, which in turn are fixedly mounted on frame side walls 16 of the recliner chair 10, which are not shown. The struts 17 can be side parts of a U-shaped, preferably open to the rear, tubular frame.

Die mit dem Bezugszeichen 14 versehene Gelenklasche zur Ausschwenkung des Fußteiles 13 ist in bekannter Weise schwenkbar an der Strebe 17 angelenkt und mit einem Ende gelenkig am Sitz 11 angeschlossen. Andererseits ist diese Gelenklasche 14 schwenkbar mit der zweiten Gelenklasche 15 verbinden, die ihrerseits gelenkig am Fußteil 13 angeschlossen ist. Im Schwenkweg der Gelenklasche 14 ist an der jeweiligen Strebe 17 ein Endanschlag 18 vorgesehen, durch den der maximale Schwenkwinkel der Gelenklasche 14 begrenzt ist.The articulated link provided with the reference numeral 14 for pivoting out the foot part 13 is pivotably articulated on the strut 17 and articulated at one end to the seat 11. On the other hand, this hinge bracket 14 is pivotally connected to the second hinge bracket 15, which in turn is hingedly connected to the foot part 13. In the swivel path of the hinge plate 14 is An end stop 18 is provided on the respective strut 17, by means of which the maximum pivoting angle of the joint plate 14 is limited.

Wie die Fig. 1 bis 4 deutlich zeigen, ist die Rückenlehne 12 über mehrteilige Schwenkbeschläge 19, die bei den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen an jeder Längsseite des Liegesessels vorgesehen sind, mit den Streben 17 und dem Sitz 11 verbunden. Ein derartiger mehrteiliger Schwenkbeschlag 19 ist in vergrößerter Darstellung in Fig. 5 gezeigt.As clearly shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the backrest 12 is connected to the struts 17 and the seat 11 via multi-part swivel fittings 19, which are provided on each longitudinal side of the recliner in the illustrated embodiments. Such a multi-part swivel fitting 19 is shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 5.

Jeder dieser Schwenkbeschläge 19 besteht aus einer am unteren Ende der Rückenlehne 12 angeschlossenen Schwenklasche 20, einer damit gelenkig verbundenen und andererseits schwenkbar am Sitz angeschlossenen Lasche 21 sowie einem einerseits an der ortsfesten Strebe 17 und andererseits an der Lasche 21 gelenkig angeordneten Schwenkhebel 22.Each of these swivel fittings 19 consists of a swivel bracket 20 connected to the lower end of the backrest 12, a swivel bracket 21 connected to it in an articulated manner and, on the other hand, swivel-connected to the seat, and a swivel lever 22 arranged on the one hand on the fixed strut 17 and on the other hand on the bracket 21.

Der Schwenkwinkel zwischen der Schwenklasche 20 einerseits und der Lasche 21 andererseits ist durch einen Anschlagbolzen 23 begrenzt. Ebenso ist der Schwenkwinkel zwischen der Lasche 21 und dem Schwenkhebel 22 durch einen an der Lasche 21 befestigten Anschlagbolzen 23 begrenzt.The swivel angle between the swivel bracket 20 on the one hand and the bracket 21 on the other hand is limited by a stop pin 23. Likewise, the swivel angle between the bracket 21 and the swivel lever 22 is limited by a stop bolt 23 fastened to the bracket 21.

Die Funktion der vorstehend beschriebenen Konstruktion ist wie folgt:The function of the construction described above is as follows:

Wird aus der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Grundstellung heraus die Rückenlehne 12 in Richtung des Pfeiles A nach hinten geschwenkt, so wird dabei gleichzeitig der Sitz 11 ohne Änderung des Sitzwinkels zwischen Rückenlehne 12 und Sitz 11 mitgenommen. Hierdurch wird über die Betätigung der Gelenklasche 14 und der Gelenklasche 15 das Fußteil 13 aus seiner Nichtgebrauchsstellung heraus hochgeschwenkt. Der Sitz 11 wird bei dieser ersten Verschwenkphase in seinem hinteren Bereich nach unten abgesenkt. Der mehrteilige Schwenkbeschlag 19 ist bei dieser ersten Verstellphase in der Art wirksam, daß ohne eine Beeinträchtigung der Grundstellung zwischen Schwenklasche 20 und Lasche 21 ein Verschwenken des Schwenkhebels 22 stattfindet.If the backrest 12 is pivoted backwards in the direction of arrow A from the basic position shown in FIG. 1, then the seat 11 becomes at the same time without changing the seat angle between the backrest 12 and Seat 11 taken away. As a result, the foot part 13 is pivoted up out of its non-use position via the actuation of the joint plate 14 and the joint plate 15. During this first pivoting phase, the seat 11 is lowered in its rear area. The multi-part swivel fitting 19 is effective in this first adjustment phase in such a way that the swivel lever 22 is swiveled without impairing the basic position between swivel bracket 20 and bracket 21.

In Fig. 2 ist gezeigt, daß der mögliche Schwenkbereich zwischen der Lasche 21 und dem Schwenkhebel 22 ausgeschöpft ist, da der Schwenkhebel 22 am Anschlagbolzen 23 anliegt. Ein weiteres Schwenken der Rückenlehne 12 in Richtung des Pfeiles A in Fig. 2 führt nun zu einer Vergrößerung des Sitzwinkels zwischen Rückenlehne 12 und Sitz 11, da nun die Schwenklasche 20 gegenüber der Lasche 21 verschwenkt wird. In Fig. 3 ist die Gelenklasche 14 für die Fußteilverschwenkung an den Endanschlag 18 gelangt und kann nunmehr nicht weiter verschwenkt werden. Wird aus der Position gemäß Fig. 3 heraus eine weitere Verschwenkung der Rückenlehne in Richtung des Pfeiles A vorgenommen, so wird nunmehr der Sitzwinkel zwischen Rückenlehne 12 und Sitz 11 ständig größer bis zur Liegeposition, die in Fig. 4 dargestellt ist. Hierbei wird der Sitz 11 in seinem hinteren Endbereich wieder angehoben.In Fig. 2 it is shown that the possible pivot range between the tab 21 and the pivot lever 22 is exhausted, since the pivot lever 22 abuts the stop pin 23. A further pivoting of the backrest 12 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 2 now leads to an increase in the seat angle between the backrest 12 and the seat 11, since the pivoting bracket 20 is now pivoted relative to the bracket 21. In Fig. 3, the hinge plate 14 has reached the end stop 18 for pivoting the foot part and can now no longer be pivoted. If a further pivoting of the backrest in the direction of arrow A is carried out from the position according to FIG. 3, the seat angle between the backrest 12 and the seat 11 is now continuously increasing up to the lying position, which is shown in FIG. 4. Here, the seat 11 is raised again in its rear end region.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig. 1 bis 4 ist der Liegesessel 10 durch Körperdruck seines Benutzers in die verschiedenen Verschwenkpositionen zu bringen. Um hierbei die jeweiligen, mehrteiligen Schwenkbeschläge 19 in ihrer Funktionsstellung zu halten, ist eine Feder 24 vorgesehen, die einerseits an der Schwenklasche 20 und andererseits am Sitz 11 angeschlossen ist.In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4, the recliner 10 is by body pressure of its user to bring into the different pivot positions. In order to keep the respective multi-part swivel fittings 19 in their functional position, a spring 24 is provided which is connected on the one hand to the swivel bracket 20 and on the other hand to the seat 11.

Bei dem in den Fig. 6 und 7 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wird die Verschwenkung des Sitzes 11 und der Rückenlehne 12 und auch des Fußteiles 13 in bekannter Weise über einen Motor 25 bewirkt. Dieser Motor 25 ist einerseits an einer ortsfesten Querstrebe 26 und andererseits an der Rückenlehne 12 angeschlossen, und zwar dort benachbart des Gelenkes 27 zwischen Rückenlehne 12 und Sitz 11. Auch hier ist eine Feder 28 vorgesehen, um die Funktionsteile der mehrteiligen Schwenkbeschläge 19 in vorbestimmten Lagen zu halten. Diese Feder 28 greift wiederum an der Schwenklasche 20 an, ist aber andererseits im Bodenbereich an einer gestellfesten Lasche 29 angeschlossen.In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the pivoting of the seat 11 and the backrest 12 and also the foot part 13 is effected in a known manner via a motor 25. This motor 25 is connected, on the one hand, to a fixed cross strut 26 and, on the other hand, to the backrest 12, namely there, adjacent to the joint 27 between the backrest 12 and the seat 11. A spring 28 is also provided here in order to position the functional parts of the multi-part pivot fittings 19 in predetermined positions to keep. This spring 28 in turn engages the swivel bracket 20, but on the other hand is connected to a bracket 29 fixed to the frame in the bottom region.

Im übrigen sind die Beschlagteile und Funktionen des Liegesessels 10 nach den Fig. 6 und 7 identisch mit denjenigen des Liegesessels 10 nach den Fig. 1 bis 4, so daß auf eine ausführliche, erneute Schilderung dieser Zusammenhänge hier verzichtet werden kann.For the rest, the fitting parts and functions of the recliner 10 according to FIGS. 6 and 7 are identical to those of the recliner 10 according to FIGS. 1 to 4, so that a detailed, new description of these relationships can be dispensed with here.

Die insgesamt an den ortsfesten Streben 17 festgelegte Rohrrahmenkonstruktion von Sitz 11, Rückenlehne 12 und Fußteil 13 kann beliebig gepolstert sein, so daß ein Hersteller eines Liegesessels mit gleichen Grundelementen zu verschiedenen Ausführungsformen von Liegesesseln kommen kann.The overall tubular frame construction of the seat 11, backrest 12 and foot part 13 fixed to the fixed struts 17 can be upholstered as desired, so that a manufacturer of a recliner chair with the same basic elements can come to different embodiments of recliner chairs.
