Description

Es ist bekannt, unter die Füße von Möbeln Untersetzer zu setzen, die das Gewicht des Möbelstücks auf eine größere Fläche verteilen. Solche Untersetzer sind im Fachhandel erhältlich.It is known to place under the feet of furniture coasters, which distribute the weight of the furniture over a larger area. Such coasters are available from specialist dealers.

Beim Verkippen oder Verkanten von Stühlen tritt das Problem auf, dass auch wegen vorhandener Kanten bei nicht zähelastischen Bodenbelägen sich der Gleiter oder der Fuß in den Boden eindrückt und diesen bleibend deformiert bzw. aufwalkt. Dadurch kann es zu dauernden Beschädigungen kommen, die auch zu einer Unfallgefahr führen können. Gerade bei Sitzmöbeln in Schulen kommt es wegen des häufigen Verschiebens der Stühle oder sonstigen Möbel zu einer Abnutzung und Beschädigung des Bodens bis zur Unansehnlichkeit. Dies kann noch verstärkt werden, wenn zwischen den Füßen der Möbel und dem Boden Schmutz oder Sand vorhanden ist.When tilting or tilting of chairs, the problem arises that also due to existing edges in non-viscous floor coverings, the slider or the foot presses into the ground and deforms this permanent or aufwalkt. This can lead to permanent damage, which can also lead to a risk of accidents. Especially in seating in schools it comes because of the frequent moving of the chairs or other furniture to wear and damage to the floor to the unsightliness. This can be exacerbated if there is dirt or sand between the feet of the furniture and the floor.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Möglichkeit zu schaffen, in solchen Fällen eine Beschädigung des Fußbodens bzw. des Fußbodenbelags zu vermeiden.The invention is based on the object to provide a way to avoid damage to the floor or the floor covering in such cases.

In diesem Zusammenhang offenbart die CA 2,109,408 A1 einen Möbelgleiter aus einem elastomeren Körper, der über Platten und Schrauben an einem Möbelstück befestigt werden kann und an dessen Unterseite eine Sohle aus Nylon oder eine Haube angebracht ist.In this context, the CA 2,109,408 A1 a furniture glider made of an elastomeric body, which can be attached to a piece of furniture by means of plates and screws and on the underside of which a sole made of nylon or a hood is attached.

Die FR 2,763,816 A1 zeigt einen Möbelgleiter bestehend aus einem elastomeren Körper, an dessen Unterseite eine Filzsohle angebracht ist.The FR 2,763,816 A1 shows a furniture glider consisting of an elastomeric body, on the underside of a felt sole is attached.

Zur Lösung der oben genannten Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung einen Möbelgleiter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 vor. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.To achieve the above object, the invention proposes a furniture glider with the features of claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Durch die Anordnung der Auflageschicht aus zähelastischem bzw. weichem Werkstoff wird das Vorhandensein eines solchen Fußbodenbelags praktisch simuliert. Kanten an den Füßen oder an den Möbeln können ihre Wirkung zunächst nur in der Auflageschicht ausüben, nicht aber im eigentlichen Bodenbelag. Dadurch verringert sich die Gefahr einer Beschädigung des Bodens mit den daraus resultierenden Folgen.The arrangement of the support layer made of tough elastic or soft material, the presence of such a floor covering is practically simulated. Edges on the feet or on the furniture can initially only be effective in the overlay layer, but not in the actual floor covering. This reduces the risk of damage to the soil with the resulting consequences.

Als zähelastischer Werkstoff wird ein verformbarer Kunststoff oder ein Elastomermaterial, auch Gummi selbst, eingesetzt.As viscoplastic material, a deformable plastic or an elastomeric material, including rubber itself, is used.

In der einfachsten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung bildet die Auflageschicht eine Auflagefläche zur Auflage auf dem Fußbodenbelag.In the simplest embodiment of the invention, the support layer forms a bearing surface for resting on the floor covering.

Es ist jedoch ebenfalls möglich und wird von der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, an der Unterseite der Auflageschicht eine Verstärkung aus einem anderen Material anzuordnen, das dann die Auflagefläche bildet. Auch in diesem Fall ist dafür gesorgt, dass zwischen dem eigentlichen Möbelstück, beispielsweise einem Stuhl, und dem Fußbodenbelag eine Zwischenschicht aus einem zähelastischen Material angeordnet ist, das sich in gewissem Ausmaß verformen lässt.However, it is also possible and is proposed by the invention to arrange on the underside of the support layer, a reinforcement of a different material, which then forms the support surface. Also in this case it is ensured that between the actual piece of furniture, such as a chair, and the floor covering an intermediate layer of a viscoelastic material is arranged, which can be deformed to some extent.

Als Verstärkung kommt beispielsweise eine Art Inlay aus Filz, Holz oder auch Metall in Frage, beispielsweise aus Edelstahl oder Edelstahlgeflecht. Auch die Verwendung von Gliedermaterial wird von der Erfindung vorgeschlagen.As reinforcement comes, for example, a kind of inlay made of felt, wood or metal in question, for example, stainless steel or stainless steel mesh. The use of limb material is also proposed by the invention.

Die Anbringung der Auflageschicht mit Hilfe der Befestigungseinrichtung kann an das spezielle Möbelstück, das es umgibt, angepasst sein. Da die Erfindung in erster Linie für Sitzmöbel gedacht ist, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Befestigungseinrichtung von einer Aufnahme für einen Möbelfuß gebildet wird bzw. eine Aufnahme für einen Möbelfuß bildet. Diese Aufnahme kann an die Form des Möbelfußes angepasst sein, auch in optischer Hinsicht.The attachment of the overlay layer by means of the fastener may be adapted to the particular piece of furniture that surrounds it. Since the invention is intended primarily for seating, the invention provides that the fastening device is formed by a receptacle for a furniture foot or forms a receptacle for a furniture foot. This recording can be adapted to the shape of the furniture foot, also in optical terms.

Insbesondere schlägt die Erfindung vor, die Aufnahme so auszubilden, dass ein Möbelfuß in der Aufnahme form- und/oder kraftschlüssig aufgenommen wird.In particular, the invention proposes to form the receptacle such that a furniture foot is received positively and / or non-positively in the receptacle.

Aufgrund der Verwendung von zähelastischem Material liegt auch dann eine flächige Auflage des Möbelstücks vor, wenn der Boden nicht vollständig eben ausgebildet ist. Geringe Unterschiede in der Bodenbeschaffenheit werden durch das zähelastische Material ausgeglichen.Due to the use of viscoelastic material is also a flat support of the piece of furniture before, if the floor is not completely flat. Slight differences in soil quality are compensated by the viscoelastic material.

Bei Sitzmöbeln, insbesondere Stühlen für Schulen, besteht die Unsitte, dass die Person, die den Stuhl benutzt, mit dem Stuhl kippelt. Dieses Kippeln geschieht in erster Linie nach hinten, manchmal auch nach vorne. Die Erfindung schlägt nun vor, den Möbelgleiter so auszubilden, dass sich die Auflageschicht und/oder die Auflagefläche über mindestens eine Kante hinaus vorzugsweise in abgerundeter Form bis zur Seite des Möbelstücks bzw. Möbelfußes erstrecken. Wegen der bevorzugten Kipprichtung hinten oder vorne kann es ausreichen, die Auflagefläche nur nach hinten oder nur nach vorne und oben zuziehen, während die Gefahr des Kippens zur Seite bei Stühlen wesentlich geringer ist.For seats, especially chairs for schools, there is the bad habit that the person using the chair tilts with the chair. This tilting happens primarily to the rear, sometimes forward. The invention now proposes to design the furniture glider such that the support layer and / or the support surface extend beyond at least one edge, preferably in a rounded shape, to the side of the piece of furniture or furniture foot. Because of the preferred tilt direction rear or front, it may be sufficient to pull the support surface only to the rear or only to the front and top, while the risk of tipping to the side in chairs is much lower.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, die Befestigungseinrichtung bzw. die Aufnahme aus hartem Material herzustellen, das wegen der Anpassung an die Form des Möbelstücks oder Möbelfußes mit einer flächigen festen Anlage mit diesem verbunden werden kann.According to the invention, the fastening device or the receptacle made of hard material that can be connected because of the adaptation to the shape of the furniture or furniture foot with a flat fixed system with this.

Insbesondere ist vorgesehen, die Befestigungseinrichtung bzw. die Aufnahme aus einem harten Kunststoff herzustellen, während die Auflageschicht aus einem entsprechend weicheren Kunststoff hergestellt wird. Diese Auflageschicht wird unter Verwendung der bei der Kunststoffherstellung und Kunststoffverarbeitung bekannten Verfahren des Vulkanisierens untrennbar mit der Befestigungseinrichtung und/oder mit der Verstärkung verbunden.In particular, it is provided to produce the fastening device or the receptacle from a hard plastic, while the support layer is made of a correspondingly softer plastic. This overlay is inseparably connected to the fastener and / or reinforcement using the vulcanization process known in plastics manufacturing and plastics processing.

Figur 1 zeigt zunächst das reine Prinzip, wie die Erfindung arbeitet. An der Unterseite eines Möbelfußes 1, beispielsweise des Beins eines Sitzmöbels, ist mit Hilfe einer an die Form des Möbelfußes angepassten Befestigungseinrichtung 2 eine Auflageschicht 3 aus zähelastischem Material angebracht. Die dem Möbelfuß 1 abgewandte Seite des zähelastischen Materials kann dann noch mit einer Verstärkung 4 verbunden sein. Diese Verstärkung kann aus einem anderen, auch einem harten Material, bestehen. Bei ungleichen Verteilungen von Kräften entstehende Drücke werden in dem zähelastischen Material der Auflageschicht 3 aufgenommen und ausgeglichen. FIG. 1 shows first the pure principle of how the invention works. On the underside of a furniture foot 1, for example, the leg of a chair, a support layer 3 made of tough elastic material is attached by means of a matched to the shape of the furniture foot mounting device 2. The furniture foot 1 facing away from the viscoelastic material can then be connected to a reinforcement 4. This reinforcement can consist of another, even a hard material. For unequal distributions of forces Pressures are absorbed and compensated in the viscoelastic material of the support layer 3.

Figur 2 zeigt einen Stuhl, wie er für die folgende Beschreibung als Beispiel für einen Anwendungsfall dienen soll. Der Stuhl enthält einen Möbelfuß 5 in Form eines auf dem Boden aufliegenden U's. Die freien Enden der beiden Schenkel sind nach vorne gerichtet und dort mit jeweils einem Möbelgleiter 6 nach der Erfindung versehen. Die hinteren Enden der Stege des U's sind durch einen Quersteg 7 verbunden, so dass dort zwei Ecken entstehen, an denen andere Möbelgleiter angebracht werden können. Diese zweite Art von Möbelgleiter ist in den Figuren 7 bis 11 dargestellt, während die Figuren 3 bis 6, auf die jetzt Bezug genommen wird, den Möbelgleiter 6 für die vorderen Enden des Profils darstellen. FIG. 2 shows a chair, as it should serve for the following description as an example of an application. The chair contains a furniture foot 5 in the form of a U resting on the floor. The free ends of the two legs are directed forward and there provided with a respective furniture slider 6 according to the invention. The rear ends of the webs of the U are connected by a transverse web 7, so that there arise two corners where other furniture glides can be attached. This second type of furniture glider is in the FIGS. 7 to 11 shown while the FIGS. 3 to 6 to which reference is now made, represent the furniture slider 6 for the front ends of the profile.

Der Möbelfuß 5 besteht aus einem im Querschnitt ovalen Metallprofil 8, das in Figur 3 rechts im Schnitt dargestellt ist. Hierauf wird der Möbelgleiter 6 aufgeschoben. Er weist eine dem Querschnitt des Metallprofils 8 entsprechende Form auf und umgibt den Umfang des Profils vollständig. Auf seiner dem Fuß zugewandten Seite ist der Möbelgleiter 6 offen. Er weist in seinem Inneren einen zylindrischen Ansatz 9 auf, der gegenüber der Außenwand 10 des Gleiters einen Zwischenraum 11 stehen lässt, der etwa der Dicke des Metalls des Metallprofils 8 entspricht. An der Außenseite des Ansatzes 9 sind einzelne, in Längsrichtung verlaufende Rippen 12 ausgebildet, die zu einer verstärkten Festlegung des Gleiters an dem Metallprofil 8 führen.The furniture foot 5 consists of a cross-sectionally oval metal section 8, which in FIG. 3 is shown in section on the right. Then the furniture slider 6 is pushed. It has a shape corresponding to the cross section of the metal profile 8 and completely surrounds the circumference of the profile. On his foot-facing side of the furniture slider 6 is open. It has in its interior a cylindrical projection 9, which leaves a gap 11 with respect to the outer wall 10 of the slider, which corresponds approximately to the thickness of the metal of the metal section 8. On the outer side of the lug 9 individual, extending in the longitudinal direction ribs 12 are formed, which lead to a reinforced attachment of the slider to the metal section 8.

An der Unterseite 13, die zu der Vorderseite des Möbelgleiters in einem abgerundeten Bogen 14 verläuft, ist eine Auflageschicht 15 angebracht, durch Vulkanisieren. Die Auflageschicht 15 besteht aus einem zähelastischen Material. Sie kann zur besseren Verbindung in eine Nut 16 eingesetzt sein, siehe den Schnitt der Figur 5.At the bottom 13, which extends to the front of the furniture slider in a rounded arc 14, a support layer 15 is attached, by vulcanization. The support layer 15 is made of a viscoelastic material. It can be used for better connection in a groove 16, see the section of FIG. 5 ,

Figur 4 zeigt die Unteransicht des Möbelgleiters 6 von unten in Figur 3.

Die Auflageschicht 15 reicht bis fast zur Hälfte der vertikalen Erstreckung 25 des Möbelgleiters.This front is in the front view of the FIG. 6 still shown in detail. The support layer 15 extends to almost half of the vertical extension 25 of the furniture glides.

Auf beiden freien Enden der Schenkel des Möbelfußes des Sitzmöbels der Figur 2 wird je ein solcher Möbelgleiter 6 aufgesteckt, wobei er dann form- und kraftschlüssig festgelegt ist. Wenn nun ein Schüler auf dem Stuhl nach vorne kippt, so verteilt sich die Kraft auf das zähelastische Material der Auflageschicht 15, wobei auch ein gewisses Abrollen beim Kippen nach vorne auftritt. Beschädigungen des Fußbodenbelags werden dadurch verhindert.On both free ends of the legs of the furniture foot of the chair FIG. 2 ever such a furniture slider 6 is attached, where it is then determined form and locks. Now, when a student tilts forward on the chair, so the force is distributed to the viscoelastic material of the support layer 15, wherein a certain unwinding when tilting forward occurs. Damage to the floor covering is thereby prevented.
