Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Polstermöbel nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a upholstered furniture according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei gattungsfremden Polstermöbeln reichen die seitlichen Armlehnen neben der Sitzfläche bis zum Boden und bilden gleichzeitig die Füße des Polstermöbels, mit denen das Polstermöbel auf dem Untergrund aufsteht.In non-generic upholstered furniture, the side armrests extend to the floor next to the seat and at the same time form the feet of the upholstered furniture with which the upholstered furniture stands on the ground.

Bei gattungsgemäßen Polstermöbeln hingegen ist eine Sockelfläche vorgesehen, die entweder direkt auf dem Untergrund aufsteht, oder an welcher die Füße des Polstermöbels angeordnet sind, die dann ihrerseits auf dem Untergrund aufstehen. Jedenfalls ist bei gattungsgemäßen Polstermöbeln vorgesehen, dass sowohl die Sitzfläche als auch eine Lehne, beispielsweise eine Armlehne, auf der Sockelfläche angeordnet sind.In generic upholstered furniture, however, a base surface is provided, which either stands up directly on the ground, or on which the feet of the upholstered furniture are arranged, which in turn stand up on the ground. In any case, it is provided in generic upholstered furniture that both the seat and a back, for example, an armrest, are arranged on the base surface.

Für die Kunden sind üblicherweise mehrere unterschiedliche Ausgestaltungen der Polstermöbel verfügbar. Beispielsweise können dies bei ansonsten gleichem Grundaufbau des Polstermöbels Varianten sein, die sich hinsichtlich der Lehnen-Ausgestaltung unterscheiden. So ist es beispielsweise bekannt, Armlehnen mit einer geradlinig oder schräg oder kurvig verlaufenden Oberseite zur Wahl zu stellen. Oder es können Armlehnen zur Wahl stehen, die einen klappbaren Abschnitt aufweisen, um wahlweise auch als Kopfstütze zu dienen, wenn beispielsweise das Polstermöbel entsprechend breit ausgestaltet ist, so dass es eine längs auf dem Polstermöbel liegende Person aufnehmen kann, wie dies beispielsweise bei Sofas der Fall ist.For the customer usually several different configurations of upholstered furniture are available. For example, this may be in otherwise the same basic structure of the upholstered furniture variants that differ with respect to the backrest design. So it is known, for example, to provide armrests with a straight or oblique or curvy top to choose from. Or there may be a choice of armrests, which have a hinged portion to optionally serve as a headrest, for example, if the upholstered furniture is designed to be correspondingly wide, so that it can accommodate a person lying lengthwise on the upholstered furniture, as is the case with sofas, for example.

Problematisch ist der erhebliche Platzbedarf in den Ausstellungs- bzw. Präsentationsräumen, in denen die unterschiedlichen Varianten des Polstermöbels der Kundschaft vorgeführt werden sollen. Dabei ist es wünschenswert, die unterschiedlichen Gestaltungen der Armlehnen nicht nur anhand eines Möbelkatalogs demonstrieren zu können, sondern tatsächlich durch praktische Benutzung im Verkaufsraum für den Kunden erfahrbar zu machen. Die Eignung unterschiedlicher Armlehnengestaltungen für den jeweiligen Kunden hängt nämlich beispielsweise nicht nur vom individuellen ästhetischen Geschmack des Kunden ab, sondern beispielsweise auch von der Körpergröße oder dem Gewicht des Kunden - und dementsprechend der Einsinktiefe in die Sitzfläche - so dass die optimale Konfiguration des Polstermöbels nur durch das praktische Ausprobieren der unterschiedlichen Varianten möglich ist.The problem is the considerable space required in the exhibition or presentation rooms, in which the different variants of the upholstered furniture of the clientele to be demonstrated. It is desirable to be able to demonstrate the different designs of the armrests not only on the basis of a furniture catalog, but actually make it practical experience in the showroom for the customer to experience. For example, the suitability of different armrest designs for each customer depends not only on the individual aesthetic taste of the customer, but also, for example, on the size or weight of the customer - and accordingly the sinking depth in the seat - so that the optimal configuration of the upholstered furniture only by The practical testing of the different variants is possible.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein gattungsgemäßes Polstermöbel dahingehend zu verbessern, dass dieses auf möglichst wirtschaftliche Weise eine Auswahl unter den unterschiedlichen Gestaltungsvarianten des Polstermöbels ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to improve a generic upholstered furniture to the effect that this allows the most economical way a choice among the different design variants of the upholstered furniture.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Polstermöbel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a upholstered furniture with the features of claim 1.

Die Erfindung schlägt mit anderen Worten vor, die unterschiedlich konfigurierbare Lehne als von dem übrigen Polstermöbel separates Bauteil auszugestalten und korrespondierende, also miteinander zusammenwirkende Befestigungsmittel einerseits an der Lehne und andererseits am übrigen Polstermöbel vorzusehen, so dass das Polstermöbel vervollständigt werden kann, indem die Lehne lösbar an dem übrigen Polstermöbel festgelegt wird.In other words, the invention proposes to configure the differently configurable backrest as a separate component from the rest of the upholstered furniture and to provide corresponding, cooperating fastening means on the backrest and on the other upholstered furniture so that the upholstered furniture can be completed by releasing the backrest is fixed to the other upholstered furniture.

Es ergibt sich also eine provisorische, nämlich wieder lösbare, Montage der Lehne. Dadurch wird ermöglicht, bei einem grundsätzlich stets gleichen Polstermöbel, welches im Rahmen des vorliegenden Vorschlags als das "übrige Polstermöbel" bezeichnet wird, unterschiedliche Lehnentypen zu montieren bzw. zu demontieren. So können die tatsächlichen Sitzverhältnisse mehrerer unterschiedlicher Polstermöbel, nämlich mit unterschiedlich ausgestalteten Lehnen, mit nur dem geringen Platzbedarf demonstriert werden, den ein einziges Polstermöbel erfordert, indem nämlich die entsprechend unterschiedlichen Lehnenvarianten nach Kundenwunsch montiert bzw. demontiert werden.This results in a provisional, namely detachable, mounting the backrest. This makes it possible, in a basically always the same upholstered furniture, which is referred to in the context of the present proposal as the "other upholstered furniture", to assemble different different types of looms or dismantle. Thus, the actual sitting conditions of several different upholstered furniture, namely with differently designed backrests, can be demonstrated with only the small footprint required by a single upholstered furniture, namely by the correspondingly different backrest variants are assembled or disassembled according to customer requirements.

Ein vom Kunden ausgewähltes und später zum Kunden geliefertes Möbel ist dann als Polstermöbel mit fest montierter Lehne ausgestaltet, so dass die gewünschte Stabilität des Polstermöbels für die praktische Benutzung über lange Zeit sichergestellt ist. Das vorschlagsgemäße Polstermöbel mit auswechselbaren Lehnen wird daher als "Präsentations-Polstermöbel" bezeichnet, da es insbesondere für die Verwendung in den Präsentationsräumen des Möbelhandels vorgesehen ist und nicht die spätere, tatsächlich an den Kunden ausgelieferte Ausgestaltung des Möbels darstellt.A selected by the customer and later delivered to the customer furniture is then designed as upholstered furniture with fixed backrest, so that the desired stability of the upholstered furniture for practical use over a long time is ensured. The proposed upholstered furniture with interchangeable backrests is therefore referred to as "presentation upholstered furniture", as it is intended in particular for use in the presentation rooms of the furniture trade and does not represent the later, actually delivered to the customer design of the furniture.

Der Begriff der "Lehne" rührt von der Funktion des entsprechenden Möbelteils her, einen Körperteil des Benutzers abzustützen, so dass sich der Benutzer dementsprechend an die Lehne anlehnen kann, beispielsweise an eine Armlehne oder ein Rückenlehne. Vorschlagsgemäß kann allerdings von dieser StützFunktion abgewichen werden, indem die "Lehne" beispielsweise als Barfach ausgestaltet ist, ein ausklappbares bzw. ausfahrbares TV-Gerät enthält oder dergleichen. Der vorschlagsgemäße Vorteil der für Demonstrationszwecke schnell auswechselbaren Lehne bleibt dabei voll und ganz erhalten: auch bei derartigen Lehnen, die nicht in erster Linie als Körperstütze dienen, können auf einfache und schnelle Weise unterschiedliche Ausgestaltungen des Polstermöbels präsentiert und miteinander verglichen werden, ohne dass der Platzbedarf all dieser unterschiedlichen Polstermöbel in dem Ausstellungsraum besteht, sondern nur der Platzbedarf eines einzigen Polstermöbels.The term "backrest" stems from the function of the corresponding furniture part to support a body part of the user, so that the user can lean against the backrest accordingly, for example to an armrest or a backrest. However, according to the proposal can be deviated from this support function by the "backrest" is designed for example as a bar, contains a fold-out or retractable TV set or the like. The proposed advantage of quickly replaceable for demonstration purposes backrest remains fully intact: even with such backrests that do not serve primarily as a body support, different configurations of upholstered furniture can be presented in a simple and fast way and compared be without the space requirements of all these different upholstered furniture in the showroom, but only the space requirement of a single upholstered furniture.

Da unterschiedlich ausgestaltete Lehnen allerdings das Sitzgefühl bzw. die Benutzbarkeit des Polstermöbels stark beeinflussen können, kann auch vorgesehen sein, dem Kunden das Polstermöbel in der vorschlagsgemäßen Ausgestaltung anzubieten, also mit auswechselbaren Lehnen, so dass auch der Kunde nach einer gewissen Zeit im praktischen Gebrauch sein Polstermöbel unterschiedlich konfigurieren und beispielsweise an geänderte Bedürfnisse anpassen kann. Nachfolgend wird jedoch als typischer Anwendungsfall betrachtet, dass das Präsentations-Polstermöbel in den Verkaufsräumen des Möbelhandels benutzt wird und dem Kunden später die von ihm ausgewählte Variante des Polstermöbels, allerdings mit fest montierter Lehne, ausgeliefert wird.However, since differently configured backrests can greatly influence the sitting feeling or the usability of the upholstered furniture, it can also be provided to offer the customer the upholstered furniture in the proposed embodiment, ie with interchangeable backrests, so that the customer will also be in practical use after a certain time Configure upholstered furniture differently and, for example, be able to adapt to changing needs. Below, however, considered as a typical application that the presentation upholstered furniture is used in the salesrooms of the furniture trade and the customer later the selected by him variant of the upholstered furniture, but with fixed backrest, is delivered.

Die Befestigungsmittel, die zur lösbaren Befestigung der Lehne vorgesehen sind, können grundsätzlich auf beliebige Weise ausgestaltet sein. Dem Sinn und Zweck des vorliegenden Vorschlags entspricht es besonders gut, wenn ein schneller, unkomplizierter Wechsel unterschiedlicher Lehnen ermöglicht und durch die Befestigungsmittel nicht behindert wird. So können beispielsweise Spanngurte verwendet werden, die rasch gelockert oder gespannt werden können und die Lehne am übrigen Polstermöbel provisorisch sichern.The fastening means, which are provided for releasable attachment of the backrest, can in principle be configured in any desired manner. The sense and purpose of the present proposal, it is particularly good if a quick, easy change of different backs allows and is not hindered by the fasteners. For example, straps can be used, which can be quickly loosened or stretched and provisionally secure the backrest to the rest of the upholstered furniture.

Vorteilhaft kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Befestigungsmittel werkzeuglos betätigt werden können, so dass im Verkaufsraum des Möbelhandels ein schneller und unkomplizierter Wechsel der einzelnen Lehnen vorgenommen werden kann. So kann beispielsweise vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, die Befestigungsmittel als Häkchenverschluss auszugestalten. Derartige Verschlüsse sind aus Kunststoff und neuerdings auch aus Metall herstellbar, so dass entsprechend hohe Haltekräfte sichergestellt werden können, die beim Probesitzen auf dem Präsentations-Polstermöbel die entsprechenden Belastungen problemlos aufnehmen können, jedoch andererseits in kürzester Zeit die Demontage und erneute Montage einer anderen Lehnenvariante ermöglichen.Advantageously, it can be provided that the fastening means can be operated without tools, so that a quick and easy change of the individual backrests can be made in the showroom of the furniture trade. For example, it may be advantageous to design the fastening means as a hook closure. Such closures are made of plastic and recently also made of metal, so that correspondingly high holding forces can be ensured On the other hand, in the shortest possible time, it will be possible to disassemble and reassemble another backrest variant.

Alternativ kann vorgesehen sein, das Polstermöbel in Art einer so genannten Polsterklammer bzw. eines so genannten Polsterhakens auszugestalten, wie sie aus der Praxis im Möbelbau bekannt sind: Die Befestigungsmittel umfassen dabei einerseits eine Aufnahmetasche und andererseits, als komplementäres Gegenstück, eine Einsteckzunge, die in die Aufnahmetasche eingesteckt werden kann. So kann je nach Ausrichtung der Aufnahmetasche und der Einsteckzunge die Lehne beispielsweise von oben gesteckt und somit montiert werden, so dass bei Auflage auf der Lehne, also bei einem Druck von oben, die Verbindung immer fester wird, so dass ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen der Lehne im Probebetrieb des Verkaufsraumes ausgeschlossen ist.Alternatively, it may be provided to design the upholstered furniture in the manner of a so-called upholstered hook or a so-called upholstery hook, as they are known in practice in furniture: The fastening means comprise on the one hand a receiving pocket and on the other hand, as complementary counterpart, a insertion tongue in the receiving pocket can be inserted. Thus, depending on the orientation of the receiving pocket and the insertion tongue, the backrest, for example, inserted from above and thus mounted so that when resting on the back, so at a pressure from above, the connection is always stronger, so that unintentional release of the backrest in Trial operation of the sales room is excluded.

In ähnlicher Weise kann vorgesehen sein, die Befestigungsmittel einerseits mit einer Aufnahmehülse auszugestalten, die sich beispielsweise durch die Lehne erstreckt und andererseits mit einem Einsteckstift, welcher beispielsweise von der Sockelfläche des Polstermöbels aus nach oben ragt, so dass auch in dieser Ausgestaltung eine von oben erfolgende Steckverbindung der Lehne ermöglicht wird und andererseits eine problemlose Demontage der Lehne dadurch ermöglicht ist, dass diese einfach nach oben von dem übrigen Polstermöbel abgezogen wird. Bei allen drei oben genannten, rein beispielhaften Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeiten der Befestigungsmittel ist vorgesehen, dass diese unsichtbar sind, wenn die Lehne am übrigen Polstermöbel montiert ist. Auf diese Weise ist sichergestellt, dass sich für den Kunden dieselbe Optik des provisorisch zusammengefügten Präsentations-Polstermöbels ergibt, wie es auch später das Polstermöbel aufweisen würde, welches dem Kunden ausgeliefert wird und ggf. eine fest montierte unlösbare Lehne aufweist. Vorteilhaft kann die Lehne als Armlehne ausgestaltet sein. Grundsätzlich ist es auch denkbar, die Lehne als Rückenlehne des Polstermöbels auszugestalten, beispielsweise um dem grundsätzlichen gleichen Polstermöbel eine unterschiedliche optische Erscheinung zu verleihen. Insbesondere die unterschiedliche Ausgestaltung von Armlehnen bewirkt eine sehr unterschiedliche Nutzbarkeit des Polstermöbels, beispielsweise durch die Armlehnenhöhe, den Verlauf der Oberkante der Armlehne oder dadurch, dass die Armlehne Funktionselemente enthält, wie beispielsweise die klappbare Kopfstütze, oder eine klappbare Abdeckung für ein in der Armlehne angeordnetes Fach oder dergleichen, so dass insbesondere eine Ausgestaltung der Lehne als Armlehne vorteilhaft ist.Similarly, it can be provided to design the fastening means on the one hand with a receiving sleeve, which extends for example through the back and on the other hand with a plug, which projects, for example, from the base surface of the upholstered furniture from above, so that also in this embodiment, taking place from above Plug connection of the backrest is made possible and on the other hand, a problem-free disassembly of the backrest is made possible by that it is simply pulled up from the rest of the upholstered furniture. In all three above, purely exemplary design possibilities of the fastening means is provided that they are invisible when the backrest is mounted on the rest of the upholstered furniture. In this way, it is ensured that the same appearance of the provisionally assembled presentation upholstered furniture results for the customer, as it would later also have the upholstered furniture, which is delivered to the customer and possibly has a permanently mounted non-detachable backrest. Advantageously, the back can be configured as an armrest. Basically, it is also conceivable to design the backrest as a backrest of the upholstered furniture, for example, to give the basic same upholstered furniture a different visual appearance. In particular, the different design of armrests causes a very different usability of upholstered furniture, for example by the armrest height, the course of the upper edge of the armrest or in that the armrest contains functional elements, such as the folding headrest, or a hinged cover for a arranged in the armrest Tray or the like, so that in particular an embodiment of the backrest as an armrest is advantageous.

Im Unterschied zu beispielsweise zerlegbaren und transportablen Polstermöbeln, die beispielsweise für den Zusammenbau beim Kunden vorgesehen sind, ist bei dem vorschlagsgemäß ausgestalten Polstermöbel nicht nur vorgesehen, dass eine Lehne überhaupt demontierbar am Möbel vorgesehen ist, sondern dass insbesondere mehrere, unterschiedlich ausgestaltete Lehnen vorgesehen sind, denn das vorschlagsgemäß ausgestaltete Präsentationsmöbel ist ja nicht in erster Linie für den Verkauf an einen Kunden gedacht, sondern als Präsentations-Polstermöbel für die Verwendung in den Ausstellungsräumen des Möbelhandels, so dass das vorschlagsgemäße Präsentationsmöbel mehr Lehnen aufweist als gleichzeitig am Polstermöbel montiert werden können. Somit kann durch Demontage der einen Lehne und Montage einer dazu unterschiedlichen Lehne das grundsätzlich gleiche Polstermöbel zu einer Vielzahl tatsächlich unterschiedlich ausgestalteter Polstermöbel konfiguriert werden, so dass mit dem Platzbedarf nur eines Polstermöbels mehrere unterschiedliche Polstermöbel präsentiert werden können.In contrast to, for example, collapsible and transportable upholstered furniture, which are provided for example for assembly at the customer, is not only provided in the proposed designed upholstered furniture that a back is provided at all removable furniture, but that in particular a plurality of differently designed backrests are provided because the presentation designed according to presentation furniture is not intended primarily for sale to a customer, but as a presentation upholstered furniture for use in the showrooms of the furniture trade, so that the proposed presentation furniture has more backrest than can be mounted on the same upholstered furniture. Thus, by dismantling the one backrest and mounting a different back to the basically same upholstered furniture can be configured to a variety actually differently designed upholstered furniture, so that with the space requirements of only one upholstered furniture several different upholstered furniture can be presented.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines vorschlagsgemäßen Polstermöbels wird anhand der rein schematischen Darstellungen nachfolgend näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt

Fig. 1
ein Grundelement des Polsterelements, und
Fig. 2
drei unterschiedlich ausgestaltete Armlehnen, von de- nen jeweils eine an dem Polstermöbel von Fig. 1 mon- tierbar ist.
An embodiment of a proposed upholstered furniture is explained in more detail below with reference to the purely schematic representations. It shows
Fig. 1
a basic element of the cushioning element, and
Fig. 2
three differently designed armrests, one each on the upholstered furniture of Fig. 1 can be attained.

In Fig. 1 ist mit 1 ein Polstermöbel bezeichnet, welches als Sofa ausgestaltet ist und nicht vollständig ausgebildet ist. Das Polstermöbel 1 weist mehrere Füße 2 auf, mit denen es auf dem Untergrund aufsteht, wobei die Füße 2 an einer Sockelfläche 3 angeordnet sind, an der auch eine Rückenlehne 4 des Polstermöbels 1 befestigt ist. Auf der Sockelfläche 3 befindet sich zudem eine Sitzfläche 5 mit Rückenpolstern 6, wobei ersichtlich ist, dass die Sitzfläche 5 schmaler ausgestaltet ist als die Sockelfläche 3.In Fig. 1 is denoted by 1 a upholstered furniture, which is designed as a sofa and is not fully formed. The upholstered furniture 1 has a plurality of feet 2, with which it rests on the ground, the feet 2 are arranged on a base surface 3, on which a backrest 4 of the upholstered furniture 1 is attached. On the base surface 3 is also a seat 5 with back cushions 6, wherein it is apparent that the seat 5 is designed narrower than the base surface. 3

Weiterhin ist aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, dass an der Sitzfläche 5 Befestigungsmittel 7a vorgesehen sind, wobei diese Befestigungsmittel 7a Einsteckzungen 8 aufweisen.Furthermore, it is off Fig. 1 it can be seen that fastening means 7a are provided on the seat surface 5, these fastening means 7a having insertion tongues 8.

In Fig. 2 sind drei unterschiedlich ausgestaltete Arten von Armlehnen 9 dargestellt, wobei die links dargestellte Armlehne 9 eine schräg verlaufende Oberkante aufweist, die rechts dargestellte Armlehne 9 eine geradlinig und horizontal verlaufende Oberkante und die mittlere Armlehne 9 ein oberes Polster 10 aufweist.In Fig. 2 three differently configured types of armrests 9 are shown, wherein the armrest 9 shown on the left has a sloping upper edge, the right armrest 9 shown a rectilinear and horizontal upper edge and the central armrest 9 has an upper pad 10.

Die größte Höhe sämtlicher drei Armlehnen 9 ist stets gleich, wobei durch den schrägen Verlauf der Oberkante die links dargestellte Armlehne 9 unterschiedliche nutzbare Abstützhöhen für den Benutzer bereitstellt und die mittlere Armlehne 9 ein vergleichsweise niedriges Grundelement 11 aufweist, an welchem das Polster 10 gelenkig befestigt ist, so dass das Polster 10 wahlweise als Armlehne, oder als Schulter- bzw. Kopfstütze genutzt werden kann.The greatest height of all three armrests 9 is always the same, with the oblique course of the upper edge, the armrest 9 shown on the left provides different usable Abstützhöhen for the user and the middle armrest 9 has a comparatively low base element 11 to which the pad 10 is articulated so that the pad 10 optionally as an armrest, or as a shoulder or headrest can be used.

An der links dargestellten Armlehne 9 sind Befestigungsmittel 7b ersichtlich, die mit den Befestigungsmitteln 7a der Sitzfläche 5 zusammenwirken und Aufnahmetaschen 12 aufweisen. Gleichartige Befestigungsmittel 7b weisen auch die beiden anderen Varianten von Armlehnen 9 auf.Attachment means 7b, which cooperate with the fastening means 7a of the seat surface 5 and have receiving pockets 12, can be seen on the armrest 9 shown on the left. Similar fastening means 7b also have the other two variants of armrests 9.

Die Befestigungsmittel 7a und 7b ermöglichen es, werkzeuglos die jeweils gewünschte Armlehne 9 an dem übrigen Polstermöbel zu befestigen, indem die Armlehne 9 einfach auf die Sockelfläche 3 aufgesetzt wird und dabei die Aufnahmetaschen 12 auf die Einsteckzungen 8 gesteckt werden. Somit ist eine provisorische Befestigung der Armlehne 10 gegeben, die zum Probesitzen bzw. Probeliegen eine Probenutzung des Polstermöbels 1 ermöglicht, wobei durch einfaches Abheben und erneutes Aufstecken in kürzester Zeit die unterschiedlichen Varianten von Armlehnen 9 präsentiert bzw. ausprobiert werden können. Diese provisorische Befestigung der Armlehne 9 erfolgt dabei insofern unsichtbar, als nach der provisorischen Montage die Befestigungsmittel 7a und 7b nicht erkennbar sind, so dass das so komplettierte Polstermöbel 1 das gleiche Aussehen aufweist wie das später an den Kunden ausgelieferte Polstermöbel, bei dem die Armlehne 9 seiner Wahl dann fest montiert ist.The fastening means 7a and 7b make it possible to attach without tools the respective desired armrest 9 to the rest of the upholstered furniture by the armrest 9 is simply placed on the base surface 3 while the receiving pockets 12 are placed on the insertion tabs 8. Thus, a provisional attachment of the armrest 10 is given, which allows a sample use of the upholstered furniture 1 for trial sitting or trial lounging, whereby the different variants of armrests 9 can be presented or tried out by simply lifting and repositioning in a very short time. This provisional attachment of the armrest 9 is made invisible insofar as after the provisional mounting the fastening means 7a and 7b are not recognizable, so that the so completed upholstered furniture 1 has the same appearance as the later delivered to the customer upholstered furniture, in which the armrest his choice is then firmly mounted.
