Description

Sitzmöbel Seating
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Sitzmöbel, insbesondere Sessel, Sofa o.dgl., nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to seating furniture, in particular an armchair, sofa or the like, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Bei bekannten Sitzmöbeln besitzt das verschwenkbare Element Beine, auf denen es sich an seinem dem Sitzplatz abgewandten Ende abstützt. Dabei ist das schwenkbare Element entweder um einen vorderen mit dem zugeordneten Sitzplatz gemeinsamen Fuß schwenkbar oder es ist als im Wesentlichen separater Schwenkhocker ausgebildet . Bei einem weiteren bekannten Sitzmöbel ist das schwenkbare Element, das ebenfalls mit mindestens einem Fuß versehen ist, als Teil einer Seitenlehne ausgebildet ist, die mit dem Verschwenken vor die Sitzfläche aus ihrer Hochkantlage in eine horizonte Lage gewendet wird.In known seating, the pivotable element has legs on which it is supported at its end facing away from the seat. The pivotable element is either pivotable about a front foot common to the assigned seat or it is designed as an essentially separate swivel stool. In another known seating, the pivotable element, which is also provided with at least one foot, is designed as part of a side rest, which is pivoted from its upright position into a horizontal position by pivoting in front of the seat.
Bei einem aus dem DE 84 37 289 Ul bekannten Sitz-Möbel der eingangs genannten Art ist die Schwenkachse für den freitragenden Arm, an dem das verschwenkbare Element gehalten ist, durch eine im Bereich der Vorderkante der Sitzfläche des Sitzmöbels angeordnete Fußstütze eines vierfußigen Möbelrahmens gebildet . Das verschwenkbare Element ist am freien Ende des Schwenkarmes starr angeordnet . Außerdem ist das verschwenkbare Element im Bereich der separaten Rückenlehne mit einer U-förmig abgewinkelten Bodenauflage versehen. Mit einem derartigen Sitzmöbel ist es möglich, das verschwenkbare Element einerseits als Verbreiterung bzw. Verlängerung der Gesamtsitzfläche zu verwenden und andererseits für zumindest einen Sitzplatz eine Fußunter- bzw. aufläge für eine bequemere Sitz- bzw. Liegelage vorzusehen.In a seating furniture of the type mentioned at the beginning of DE 84 37 289 Ul, the pivot axis for the cantilever arm on which the pivotable element is held is formed by a footrest of a four-leg furniture frame arranged in the region of the front edge of the seating surface of the seating furniture. The pivotable element is rigidly arranged at the free end of the swivel arm. In addition, the pivotable element in the area of the separate backrest is provided with a U-shaped angled floor support. With such seating, it is possible to use the pivotable element on the one hand as a widening or extension of the entire seating area and on the other hand to provide a footrest or cover for at least one seat for a more comfortable sitting or lying position.
Nachteilig bei den bekannten Sitzmöbeln ist es, dass diese Veränderung der Nutzungsmöglichkeit des Sitzmöbels mit einer Art Umbau einhergeht, der nur im Stehen möglich ist. Dies kann wegen den separaten Bodenabstutzungen des schwenkbaren Elements insbesondere auch dann mühsam sein, wenn das Sitzmöbel auf einem Wollteppich oder hochflorigen Bodenbelag steht. Des Weiteren muss das aus demA disadvantage of the known seating furniture is that this change in the possibility of using the seating furniture is accompanied by a type of conversion that is only possible when standing. Because of the separate floor supports of the pivotable element, this can be particularly troublesome when the seating is on a wool carpet or deep-pile flooring. Furthermore, it must come from the
DE 84 37 289 Ul bekannte Sitzmöbel um 180° verschwenkt werden, was bedeutet, dass dann, wenn das schwenkbare Element in seiner Verwendung als Fußunterlage die gesamte Breiter einer Sitzfläche abdecken soll, in seiner Verwendung als Verbreitung sehr ausladend ist.DE 84 37 289 Ul known seating furniture can be pivoted through 180 °, which means that when the pivotable element is to cover the entire width of a seat in its use as a foot pad, its use as a diffusion is very expansive.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, ein Sitzmöbel, insbesondere Sessel, Sofa o.dgl., der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem in bequemer Weise, insbesondere auch während des Sitzens auf dem Sitzmöbel das verschwenkbare Element von der einen in die andere Position bewegt werden kann. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sind bei einem Sitzmöbel, insbesondere Sessel, Sofa o.dgl., der genannten Art die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale vorgesehen.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a piece of seating furniture, in particular an armchair, sofa or the like, of the type mentioned at the beginning, in which the pivotable element moves from one to the other in a convenient manner, in particular also while sitting on the seating furniture Position can be moved. To achieve this object, the features specified in claim 1 are provided in a piece of seating furniture, in particular an armchair, sofa or the like.
Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen ist erreicht, dass das verschwenkbare Element freitragend über dem Boden, auf dem das Sitzmöbel steht, bewegbar ist. Dies ermöglicht ein sehr einfaches und bequemes Positionieren des verschwenkbaren Elementes zwischen der einen und der anderen Position, was insbesondere auch im Sitzen möglich ist. Es sind somit keine besonderen Umbauvorbereitungen notwendig. In der Verwendung als Sitzflächenverbreitung ist das verschwenkbare Elemen, das mit einem zum Seitenrand bzw. Vorderrand des Sitzmöbels parallelen Seitenrand, der unmittelbar an den betreffenden Sitzplatz anschließt, versehen ist, schmalbauend. Die Verschiebbarkeit ermöglicht bei der Benutzung als Fußunterlage eine Anpassung der Lage des verschwenkbaren Elementes an die Beinlänge des betreffenden Benutzers. Des Weiteren ist eine Verschwenkbarkeit des Elements über lediglich 90° erforderlich.The measures according to the invention ensure that the pivotable element can be freely supported above the floor on which the seating is placed. This enables a very simple and convenient positioning of the pivotable element between one and the other position, which is also possible in particular when sitting. There is therefore no need to make any special modifications. When used as a seating surface, the pivoting element, which is provided with a side edge parallel to the side edge or front edge of the seating furniture and directly adjoining the relevant seat, is narrow. The displaceability enables the position of the pivotable element to be adapted to the leg length of the user concerned when used as a foot pad. Furthermore, the element must be pivotable by only 90 °.

Das in der Zeichnung dargestellte Sitzmöbel 10 ist beispielsweise als einzeln stehendes zweisitziges Sofa ausgebildet. Das Sofa 10 besitzt einen rechteckförmigen Grundrahmen 11, auf dem nebeneinander zwei gleichgroße Sitzelemente 12 und 13 befestigt sind. Die jeweils quadratischen Grundflächen der beiden Sitzelemente 12 und 13 entsprechen zusammen der Grundfläche des Rahmens 11. Es versteht sich, dass statt zwei gleichgroßen Sitzelementen ein einziges über die gesamte Grundfläche des Grundrahmens 11 verlaufendes einziges Sitzelement vorgesehen sein kann. An der Hinterkante des Grundrahmens 11 ist ein Rückenrahmen 14 befestigt, an welchem zwei gleich große nebeneinander angeordnete Rückenelemente 15 und 16 liegen. Auch hier versteht es sich, dass statt der beiden Rückenelemente ein einziges Rückenelement vorgesehen sein kann. Die Breite des Rückenrahmens 14 und die der Rückenelemente 15, 16 überragen gleichmäßig beidendig den Grundrahmen 11 bzw. die Sitzelemente 12, 13. An beiden Seitenkanten des Grundrahmens 11 sind abgewinkelte Halter 17, 18 vorgesehen, auf denen Armlehnen 21 bzw. 22 befestigt sind, die nach innen etwas in den Bereich der Sitzfläche 23, 24 der Sitzelemente 12, 13 ragen und außenseitig das Ende des betreffenden Rückenelements 15, 16 überragen.The seating 10 shown in the drawing is designed, for example, as a single, two-seat sofa. The sofa 10 has a rectangular base frame 11 on which two seat elements 12 and 13 of the same size are fastened next to one another. The respective square base areas of the two seat elements 12 and 13 together correspond to the base area of the frame 11. It goes without saying that instead of two seat elements of the same size, one only one seat element extending over the entire base area of the base frame 11 can be provided. On the rear edge of the base frame 11, a back frame 14 is fastened, on which two equal back elements 15 and 16 are arranged next to one another. Here too, it goes without saying that a single back element can be provided instead of the two back elements. The width of the back frame 14 and that of the back elements 15, 16 protrude evenly at both ends of the base frame 11 and the seat elements 12, 13. Angled holders 17, 18 are provided on both side edges of the base frame 11, on which armrests 21 and 22 are fastened, which protrude somewhat inwards into the area of the seat 23, 24 of the seat elements 12, 13 and protrude the outside of the end of the back element 15, 16 in question.
Gemäß den Figuren 1 und 5 ist zu beiden Seiten der SitzelementeAccording to Figures 1 and 5 is on both sides of the seat elements
12, 13 ein Zusatzelement 26 bzw. 27 angeordnet, das jeweils aus der in den Figuren 1 und 5 strichpunktiert dargestellten Grundposition in eine für das Element 27 in den Figuren 3, 4 und 5 dargestellte Fußauflageposition und zurück verschwenkt werden kann. Das Zusatzelement 26, 27 ist hinsichtlich seiner Sitzfläche 28, 29, in Ausgestaltung, Polsterung und dergleichen an die Sitzelemente 12, 13 angepaßt. Die Tiefe der Zusatzelemente 26, 27 entspricht der Tiefe der Sitzelemente 12,12, 13 an additional element 26 or 27 is arranged, which can be pivoted from the basic position shown in dash-dotted lines in FIGS. 1 and 5 into a footrest position shown for element 27 in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 and back. The additional element 26, 27 is adapted to the seat elements 12, 13 in terms of its seating surface 28, 29 in design, upholstery and the like. The depth of the additional elements 26, 27 corresponds to the depth of the seat elements 12,
13, während die Breite der Sitzelemente 26, 27 kleiner als die Tiefe ist. Dennoch überragt das Zusatzelement 26, 27, wie insbesondere der Figur 1 zu entnehmen ist, sowohl die Rückenelemente 15, 16 als auch die Armlehnen 21, 22.13, while the width of the seat elements 26, 27 is smaller than the depth. Nevertheless, the additional element 26, 27 projects beyond how 1, both the back elements 15, 16 and the armrests 21, 22.
Zur Verschwenkbarkeit jedes Zusatzelementes 26, 27 ist dieses auf dem freien Ende 31 eines freitragenden Armes 32 bzw. 33 aufgelegt und gehalten. Der freitragende Arm 32, 33 ist an seinem anderen Ende 34 an einem mit der Unterseite des Grundrahmens 11 befestigten Fußgestell 36 um eine senkrechte Achse 37 bzw. 38 schwenkbar gehalten. Die Achsen 37 und 38 sind in nicht im einzelnen dargestellter Weise in senkrecht zum horizontalen Grundrahmen 11 verlaufenden Stützsäulen 41 bzw. 42 vorgesehen. Zwischen diesem schwenkbar gelagerten Ende 34 und dem freien Ende 31 ist der freitragende Arm 32, 33 in Seitenansicht gesehen gebogen und in Draufsicht gesehen sich konisch verjüngend ausgebildet. Die Stützsäule 41, 42 bzw. die in sie integrierte Schwenkachse 37 bzw. 38 ist in der geometrischen Mitte der Sitzfläche 23, 24 des hier mit einer quadratischen Grundfläche versehenen Sitzelementes 12, 13 angeordnet .For the pivotability of each additional element 26, 27, this is placed and held on the free end 31 of a cantilever arm 32 or 33. The cantilever arm 32, 33 is held at its other end 34 on a base frame 36 fastened to the underside of the base frame 11 so as to be pivotable about a vertical axis 37 or 38. The axes 37 and 38 are provided in a manner not shown in detail in support columns 41 and 42 running perpendicular to the horizontal base frame 11. Between this pivotably mounted end 34 and the free end 31, the cantilever arm 32, 33 is bent in a side view and is conically tapered in a top view. The support column 41, 42 or the pivot axis 37 or 38 integrated into it is arranged in the geometric center of the seat surface 23, 24 of the seat element 12, 13 provided here with a square base surface.
Anhand des in der Zeichnung rechts dargstellten verschwenkbaren Zusatzelementes 27 wird nun das Verschwenken dieses Zusatzelementes zwischen der in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellten Grundstellung und der in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellten Fußauflagestellung anhand der Figur 5 beschrieben. Gemäß Figur 1 ist strichpunktiert das Zusatzelement 27 in Grundstellung derart angeordnet, dass seine innere Seitenfläche an der äußeren Seitenfläche des Sitzelementes 13 anliegt. In nicht im Einzelnen dargestellter Weise ist das Zusatzelement 27 (und auch das Zusatzelement 26) gegenüber dem freien Ende 31 des freitragenden Armes 33 (bzw. 32) in Richtung der Längserstreckung des freitragenden Armes in bestimmten Grenzen gemäß Doppelpfeil A verschiebbar. Diese Verschiebebewegung kann beispielsweise dadurch erfolgen, dass zwischen dem freien Ende 31 des freitragenden Armes 33 (bzw. 32) und dem Zusatzelement 27 (bzw. 26) eine nicht dargestellte Rollenauszugsanordnung, wie sie beispielsweise bei Möbelschubladen üblich sind, vorgesehen ist. Es ist aber auch möglich, eines der beiden Teile (freies Ende 31 oder Zusatzelement 26, 27) mit mindestens einem Schlitz zu versehen, in welchem das jeweils andere Teil geführt ist. Vor dem Verschwenken des Zusatzelementes 27 gemäß Doppelpfeil B (Figur 5) ist eine Verschiebebewegung des Zusatzelementes 27 gegenüber dem freitragenden Arm 33 gemäß Doppelpfeil A erforderlich, so dass die innere Seitenfläche des Zusatzelementes 27 einen für die 90° -Schwenkbewegung ausreichenden Abstand von der äusseren Seitenfläche des Sitzelementes 13 besitzt. Nach der 90°- Schwenkbewegung nimmt das Zusatzelement 27 gemäß den Figuren 4 und 5 eine Stellung ein, in welcher es vor der Vorderseite des Sitzelementes 13 angeordnet ist, d.h., eine die Sitzfläche 24 des Sitzelementes 13 in ihrer Tiefe vergrößernde Position einnimmt. Es ist nun möglich, das Zusatzelement 27 in der in Figur 5 dargestellten Lage zu belassen oder in einer Weise zu verändern, dass die innere Seitenfläche des Zusatzelementes 27 zur Vorderfläche des Sitzelementes 13 einen größeren oder kleineren Abstand einnimmt oder unmittelbar an dieser anliegt. Diese Einstellmöglichkeit gemäß Doppelpfeil dient der Anpassung an die Beinlänge des Nutzers, der das Zusatzelement 27 als Fußauflage bzw. Fußunterlage benutzt. Da das Zusatzelement 26, 27 auf einem freitragenden Arm 32, 33 angeordnet ist, ist es möglich, die Verschwenkbewegung in Richtung des Doppelpfeils B des Zusatzelementes 27 oder 26 in die eine oder andere Richtung aus einer auf der betreffenden Sitzfläche 23, 24 des Sitzelementes 12, 13 sitzenden Position mit dem Bein und/oder mit der Hand vorzunehmen.The pivoting of this additional element between the basic position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and the footrest position shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 will now be described with reference to FIG. 5 using the pivotable additional element 27 shown on the right in the drawing. According to FIG. 1, the additional element 27 is arranged in dash-dot lines in the basic position such that its inner side surface abuts the outer side surface of the seat element 13. In a manner not shown in detail, the additional element 27 (and also the additional element 26) can be displaced with respect to the free end 31 of the cantilever arm 33 (or 32) in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the cantilever arm within certain limits according to double arrow A. This displacement movement can take place, for example, in that a roller pull-out arrangement, not shown, as is customary, for example, in furniture drawers, is provided between the free end 31 of the cantilever arm 33 (or 32) and the additional element 27 (or 26). However, it is also possible to provide one of the two parts (free end 31 or additional element 26, 27) with at least one slot in which the other part is guided. Before pivoting the additional element 27 according to double arrow B (FIG. 5), a displacement movement of the additional element 27 relative to the cantilever arm 33 according to double arrow A is necessary so that the inner side surface of the additional element 27 is a sufficient distance from the outer side surface for the 90 ° pivoting movement the seat element 13 has. After the 90 ° swivel movement, the additional element 27 according to FIGS. 4 and 5 assumes a position in which it is arranged in front of the front of the seat element 13, that is to say a position which increases the depth of the seat surface 24 of the seat element 13. It is now possible to leave the additional element 27 in the position shown in FIG. 5 or to change it in such a way that the inner side surface of the additional element 27 takes a larger or smaller distance from the front surface of the seat element 13 or bears directly against it. This setting option according to the double arrow is used to adapt to the leg length of the user who uses the additional element 27 as a footrest or foot pad. Since the additional element 26, 27 is arranged on a cantilevered arm 32, 33, it is possible to pivot the pivoting movement in the direction of the double arrow B of the additional element 27 or 26 in one direction or the other from a seat 23, 24 of the seat element 12 in question , 13 sitting position with the leg and / or by hand.
