Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebene Erfindung gelöst.This object is achieved by the invention defined in
Erfindungsgemäß ist den einzelnen Stützteilen jeweils wenigstens ein separates Betätigungselement zugeordnet zum Verschwenken des jeweiligen Stützteiles, wobei die Betätigungselemente derart in Wirkungsverbindung mit dem Antrieb stehen, daß wenigstens zwei Stützteile unabhängig voneinander verschwenkbar sind. Dementsprechend besteht der Grundgedanke der Erfindung darin, bei einer vielgliedrigen Stützeinrichtung, beispielsweise einem Lattenrost, eine möglichst voneinander unabhängige Betätigbarkeit der einzelnen Stützteile hinsichtlich ihrer Verschwenkung vorzusehen. Auf diese Weise ist die Form einer von den Stützteilen der Stützeinrichtung gebildeten Stützfläche besser an die ergonomischen und physiologischen Gegebenheiten eines Benutzers anpaßbar.According to the invention, the individual support parts are each assigned at least one separate actuating element for pivoting the respective support part, the actuating elements being in operative connection with the drive such that at least two support parts are pivotable independently of one another. Accordingly, the basic idea of the invention is to provide a possible independent actuation of the individual support parts with regard to their pivoting in the case of a multi-unit support device, for example a slatted frame. In this way, the shape of a support surface formed by the support members of the support means is better adaptable to the ergonomic and physiological conditions of a user.
Erfindungsgemäß ist es möglich, daß sämtliche Stützteile unabhängig voneinander betätigbar sind, beispielsweise derart, daß bei einer Kette von aufeinanderfolgenden Stützteilen die einzelnen Stützteile zeitlich aufeinanderfolgend verschwenken. Bei einer solchen Ausführungsform sind die Stützteile somit unabhängig voneinander verschwenkbar. Erfindungsgemäß ist es jedoch auch möglich, daß einige der Stützteile unabhängig von anderen Stützteilen verschwenkbar sind, während andere Stützteile ausschließlich zusammen mit weiteren Stützteilen verschwenkbar sind.According to the invention, it is possible that all Support members are independently operable, for example, such that in a chain of successive support members, the individual support members pivot in chronological succession. In such an embodiment, the support members are thus independently pivotable. However, according to the invention it is also possible that some of the support members are pivotable independently of other support members, while other support members are pivoted exclusively together with other support members.
Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, daß die Betätigungselemente jeweils stangenförmig ausgebildet sind. Auf diese Weise ergibt stich ein besonders einfacher und kostengünstiger Aufbau. Entsprechend den jeweiligen Anforderungen können hierbei die Betätigungselemente auf Zug oder auf Druck beanspruchbar sein.An advantageous development of the invention provides that the actuating elements are each rod-shaped. In this way, stitching results in a particularly simple and cost-effective construction. According to the respective requirements in this case the actuators can be claimed on train or on pressure.
Eine außerordentlich vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, daß wenigstens ein Stützteil entfernt von der Führung eines an dem Stützteil geführten Betätigungselementes eine Anlagefläche aufweist, wobei in einer ersten kinematischen Phase das Verstellelement oder ein an einem benachbarten Stützteil angeordnetes Betätigungselement mit einer Wirkfläche an dem Betätigungselement zur Anlage gelangt und dieses linear verschiebt und wobei in einer zweiten kinematischen Phase das Verstellelement oder das an dem benachbarten Stützteil angeordnete Betätigungselement mit seiner Wirkfläche an der Anlagefläche des Stützteiles exzentrisch zu dessen Schwenkachse zur Anlage gelangt und das Stützteil um die Schwenkachse verschwenkt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform können mittels eines besonders einfachen Aufbaus beispielsweise ein Kopfstützteil und ein Oberkörperstützteil relativ zu einem ortsfesten Stützteil verstellt werden. In der ersten kinematischen Phase verschiebt das Verstellelement, beispielsweise ein Schieber eines an dem ortsfesten Stützteil angeordneten Spindeltriebes, einen an dem Oberkörperstützteil geführtes Betätigungselement linear. Das Betätigungselement greift exzentrisch zu der zugeordneten Schwenkachse an dem Kopfstützteil an, so daß dieses beim linearen Verschieben des Stößels verschwenkt wird. Sobald der Schieber an der Anlagefläche des Oberkörperstützteiles zur Anlage gelangt, wird das Betätigungselement nicht weiter linear verschoben, so daß das Kopfstützteil nicht weiter verschwenkt wird. Stattdessen drückt der Schieber in der zweiten kinematischen Phase exzentrisch zu der zugeordneten Drehachse gegen das Oberkörperstützteil, so daß dieses - zusammen mit dem bereits verschwenkten Kopfstützteil - verschwenkt wird. Die entsprechende Kinematik der Stützteile ist damit durch nur wenige Bauteile realisiert.An extraordinarily advantageous development of the invention provides that at least one support member remote from the guidance of a guided on the support member actuating element has a contact surface, wherein in a first kinematic phase, the adjusting element or arranged on an adjacent support member actuating element with an active surface on the actuating element for Arrives system and this moves linearly and wherein in a second kinematic phase, the adjusting element or disposed on the adjacent support member actuator comes with its active surface on the contact surface of the support member eccentrically to the pivot axis to the plant and pivots the support member about the pivot axis. In this embodiment, by means of a particularly simple construction, for example, a headrest part and an upper body support part can be fixed relative to a stationary one Support part to be adjusted. In the first kinematic phase, the adjusting element, for example a slider of a spindle drive arranged on the stationary support part, displaces linearly an actuating element guided on the upper body support part. The actuator engages eccentrically to the associated pivot axis of the head support member so that it is pivoted during linear displacement of the plunger. As soon as the slider comes to rest on the contact surface of the upper body support member, the actuator is not further linearly displaced, so that the headrest part is not pivoted further. Instead, the slider presses in the second kinematic phase eccentrically to the associated axis of rotation against the upper body support member, so that this - together with the already pivoted headrest part - is pivoted. The corresponding kinematics of the support parts is thus realized by only a few components.
Eine andere außerordentlich vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, daß das Verstellelement wenigstens ein Betätigungselement und/oder wenigstens ein Betätigungselement ein benachbartes Betätigungselement und/oder wenigstens ein Betätigungselement das zugeordnete Stützteil lose beaufschlagt. Diese Ausführungsform ist besonders dann vorteilhaft, wenn die kraftübertragenden Bauteile in dem Antriebsstrang der Stützeinrichtung während des Verschwenkens eines Stützteiles oder mehrerer Stützteile auf Druck beansprucht sind. Falls die kraftübertragenden Bauteile oder wenigstens eines dieser Bauteile während des Verschwenkens eines Stützteiles auf Zug beansprucht ist, kann jedoch das Verstellelement mit einem Betätigungselement bzw. ein Betätigungselement mit einem benachbarten Betätigungselement bzw. ein Betätigungselement mit dem zugeordneten Stützteil fest verbunden sein.Another extremely advantageous development of the invention provides that the adjusting element at least one actuating element and / or at least one actuating element an adjacent actuating element and / or at least one actuating element, the associated support member loosely applied. This embodiment is particularly advantageous when the force-transmitting components are claimed in the drive train of the support device during the pivoting of a support member or several support members to pressure. If the force-transmitting components or at least one of these components is claimed during the pivoting of a support member to train, however, the adjusting element with an actuating element or an actuating element with an adjacent actuating element or an actuating element with the associated Support member to be firmly connected.
Eine andere vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, daß wenigstens ein Betätigungselement während des Verschwenkens des zugeordneten Stützteiles auf Druck beansprucht ist. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich ein besonders einfacher Aufbau, da insbesondere das Betätigungselement das zugeordnete Stützteil lose beaufschlagen kann.Another advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that at least one actuating element is claimed during the pivoting of the associated support member to pressure. In this way, a particularly simple structure, since in particular the actuating element can act on the associated support member loose.
Gemäß einer anderen vorteilhaften Weiterbildung ist wenigstens ein Betätigungselement nach Art eines Stößels ausgebildet.According to another advantageous development, at least one actuating element is designed in the manner of a plunger.
Das Verstellelement kann in beliebiger geeigneter Weise ausgebildet sein, vorzugsweise durch das Abtriebsorgan eines Linearantriebs. Insoweit sieht eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung vor, daß das Verstellelement eine Spindelmutter ist oder mit einer Spindelmutter verbunden ist, die verdrehsicher und in Axialrichtung beweglich auf einer drehantreibbaren Gewindespindel angeordnet ist. Derartige Spindeltriebe stehen als einfache, kostengünstige und robuste Standardbauteile zur Verfügung und sind zur Übertragung großer Kräfte geeignet.The adjusting element can be designed in any suitable manner, preferably by the output member of a linear drive.
