Sitz-/Liegemöbel gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 sind in US 4 167 288 A und US 2 288 775 A beschrieben. Weitere verstellbare Sitz-/Liegemöbel sind in DE 101 52 227 A1 und DE 94 04 143 U1 offenbart.Seating / reclining furniture according to the preamble of claim 1 are in US 4 167 288 A and US 2 288 775 A described. Other adjustable seating / reclining furniture are in DE 101 52 227 A1 and DE 94 04 143 U1 disclosed.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Sitz-/Liegemöbel zu schaf fen, das vielseitig verstellbar ist, wobei eine einfache und komfortable Bedienung gewährleistet sein soll.Object of the present invention is fen, a seat / lounge furniture sheep, which is versatile, with a simple and comfortable operation should be guaranteed.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst, welcher ein Sitz-/Liegemöbel, insbesondere Sofa oder Sessel, mit einem zwischen einer Sitzposition und einer Ruheposition höhenverstellbaren, eine Anlehnfläche aufweisenden Rückenteil und einem durch Neigungsverstellung seiner Sitzfläche zwischen einer Sitzposition und einer Ruheposition bewegbaren Sitzteil betrifft, wobei das Rückenteil und das Sitzteil derart miteinander gekoppelt sind, dass eine Verstellung des Rückenteils eine Verstellung des Sitzteils bewirkt und/oder umgekehrt.The object is solved by the features of claim 1, which a seat / reclining furniture, especially sofa or armchair, with a height adjustable between a sitting position and a rest position, a leaning surface having back part and a tilt adjustment of its seat between a sitting position and a rest position movable Seat part is concerned, wherein the back part and the seat part are coupled together such that an adjustment of the back part causes an adjustment of the seat part and / or vice versa.

In der Sitzposition befindet sich die Sitzfläche des Sitzteils bevorzugt in einer im Wesentlichen horizontalen Position, während sich die Anlehnfläche des Rückenteils in einer üblicherweise gegenüber der Vertikalen leicht geneigten Position befindet, welche ein bequemes, mehr oder weniger aufrechtes Sitzen ermöglicht. Beim Verstellen in die Ruheposition wird die Neigung des Sitzteils verändert und aufgrund der Kopplung zugleich die Höhe des Rückenteils verstellt. In dieser Ruheposition ist bevorzugt der Winkel zwischen der Anlehnfläche des Rückenteils und der Sitzfläche des Sitzteils größer als in der Sitzposition. Somit ist in der Ruheposition erfindungsgemäß das Sitzteil als Rückenstütze und bevorzugt das Rückenteil als Kopf- oder Nackenstütze wirksam.In the sitting position, the seat surface of the seat part is preferably in a substantially horizontal position, while the leaning surface of the back part is in a usually slightly inclined relative to the vertical position, which allows a comfortable, more or less upright sitting. When adjusting in the rest position, the inclination of the seat part is changed and adjusted due to the coupling at the same time the height of the back part. In this rest position, the angle between the leaning surface of the back part and the seat surface of the seat part is preferably greater than in the sitting position. Thus, in the rest position according to the invention, the seat part as a back support and preferably the back as a head or neck support effective.

Während das erfindungsgemäße Sitz-/ Liegemöbel also in der Sitzposition eine konventionelle Sitzhaltung des Benutzers ermöglicht, befindet sich dieser in der Ruheposition eher in einer liegenden Stellung, wobei sich in der Regel der Kopf in einer höheren Position als die Füße befindet. Diese Ruheposition stellt eine beispielsweise zum Fernsehen oder zum Lesen besonders geeignete Benutzungsposition dar. Die Kopplung zwischen Sitzteil und Rückenteil erlaubt eine besonders komfortable Bedienung, da zum Verstellen des erfindungsgemäßen Sitz-/Liegemöbels zwischen der Sitzposition und der Ruheposition in der Regel nur eine einzige Bedienhandlung erforderlich ist.Thus, while the seat / reclining furniture according to the invention allows a conventional sitting position of the user in the sitting position, this is in the rest position rather in a lying position, which is usually the head in a higher position than the feet. This rest position represents an example suitable for watching TV or reading use position. The coupling between the seat and back allows a particularly comfortable operation, as to adjust the seat / recliner invention between the sitting position and the rest position usually only a single operation required is.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sind das Sitzteil und das Rückenteil durch wenigstens eine Zwangsführung miteinander gekoppelt. Hierdurch ist eine besonders einfache und zuverlässige Kopplung von Sitzteil und Rückenteil möglich.According to an advantageous embodiment, the seat part and the back part are coupled together by at least one forced operation. As a result, a particularly simple and reliable coupling of seat part and back part is possible.

Die Zwangsführung weist vorzugsweise eine an dem Rückenteil angeordnete Kulisse auf, in welcher ein am Sitzteil angeordneter Mitnehmer drehbar und verschiebbar geführt ist.The positive guide preferably has a arranged on the back part backdrop, in which a arranged on the seat part driver is guided rotatably and slidably.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist das Rückenteil zur Höhenverstellung, bevorzugt zumindest im Wesentlichen parallel zu seiner Anlehnfläche, verschiebbar an einem Grundkörper gelagert, wobei insbesondere das Rückenteil zusätzlich zwecks Neigungsverstellung der Anlehnfläche relativ zum Grundkörper verschwenkbar ist. Durch die Verschiebbarkeit des Rückenteils lässt sich die Höhenverstellung auf eine konstruktiv besonders einfache Weise verwirklichen. Durch die Neigungsverstellung der Anlehnfläche relativ zum Grundkörper ergibt sich eine weitere Verbesserung des Benutzungskomforts, da sich die Neigung der Anlehnfläche noch besser an unterschiedliche Erfordernisse in der Sitz- bzw. Ruheposition anpassen lässt.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the back part for height adjustment, preferably at least substantially parallel to its leaning surface, slidably mounted on a base body, wherein in particular the back part in addition for the purpose of tilt adjustment of the leaning surface is pivotable relative to the base body. Due to the displaceability of the back part, the height adjustment can be realized in a structurally particularly simple way. By adjusting the inclination of the leaning surface relative to the main body results in a further improvement of the user comfort, since the inclination of the leaning surface can be better adapted to different requirements in the sitting or resting position.

Es ist bevorzugt, dass das Sitzteil zur Neigungsverstellung über wenigstens einen Führungshebel, insbesondere über eine Viergelenkhebelanordnung, einen Vierpunkt-Schwenkbeschlag oder über Parallellenker, schwenkbar an einem Grundkörper gelagert ist. Hierdurch lässt sich die Kinematik, die zur Verstellung des Sitzteils erforderlich ist, konstruktiv besonders einfach verwirklichen.It is preferred that the seat part for tilt adjustment via at least one guide lever, in particular via a four-bar linkage assembly, a four-point swivel fitting or via parallel links, is pivotally mounted on a base body. As a result, the kinematics that is required for adjusting the seat part, constructive particularly simple manner.

Vorzugsweise sind das Sitzteil und der Führungshebel Bestandteile einer Kniehebelanordnung. Dadurch lässt sich das Sitzteil auf einfache Weise in einer gewünschten Verstellposition arretieren, wobei eine einfache Bedienbarkeit gewährleistet bleibt.Preferably, the seat part and the guide lever are components of a toggle lever assembly. As a result, the seat part can be locked in a simple manner in a desired adjustment position, whereby a simple operation is guaranteed.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sind das Sitzteil und/oder das Rückenteil mit wenigstens einer Verstellvorrichtung, insbesondere einem Motorantrieb, einer Feder oder einer Gasdruckfeder, gekoppelt, welche dazu ausgelegt ist, eine Verstellbewegung des Sitzteils und/oder des Rückenteils zu bewirken oder zumindest zu unterstützen.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the seat part and / or the back part are coupled to at least one adjusting device, in particular a motor drive, a spring or a gas spring, which is designed to effect or at least assist an adjusting movement of the seat part and / or the back part ,

Ein Motorantrieb ist also nicht zwingend. Alternativ kann z.B. auch ein - gegebenenfalls durch einen mechanischen Kraftspeicher unterstützter - Rasterbeschlag vorgesehen sein. Die Verstellvorrichtung kann einen zur Unterstützung der Verstellbewegung in Richtung der Ruheposition ausgebildeten Kraftspeicher umfassen. Diese Unterstützung kann entgegen der Richtung der Schwerkraft erfolgen, so dass die Verstellbewegung in Richtung der Sitzposition und damit entgegen der von dem Kraftspeicher ausgeübten Kraft mit Unterstützung durch das Körpergewicht des Benutzers erfolgen kann. Dadurch ist die Verstellung zwischen den Positionen des Sitz-/Liegemöbels in beide Richtungen einfach und komfortabel.A motor drive is therefore not mandatory. Alternatively, for example, a - possibly supported by a mechanical energy storage - Grid fitting be provided. The adjustment device may comprise a force accumulator designed to support the adjustment movement in the direction of the rest position. This support can take place counter to the direction of gravity, so that the adjusting movement in the direction of the sitting position and thus against the force exerted by the force storage force can be done with the support of the body weight of the user. Thus, the adjustment between the positions of the seat / recliner in both directions is easy and comfortable.

Es ist möglich, dass das Sitzteil mittels einer Kniehebelanordnung entgegen einer durch den Kraftspeicher ausgeübten, in Richtung der Ruheposition wirkenden Kraft in der Sitzposition gehalten wird. Dadurch erübrigt sich ein Vorsehen einer separaten Arretiervorrichtung.It is possible that the seat part is held in the sitting position by means of a toggle lever arrangement against a force exerted by the force accumulator, acting in the direction of the rest position. This eliminates the provision of a separate locking device.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist ein Auflageteil vorgesehen, welches eine Sitz-/Liegefläche aufweist, die an die Sitzfläche des Sitzteils anschließt, wobei in der Sitzposition die Sitzfläche und die Sitz-/Liegefläche in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen. Bei dem Auflageteil kann es sich um ein separates Möbelteil handeln, welches an das Sitz-/Liegemöbel angefügt wird. Es ist aber auch möglich, das Auflageteil als integralen Bestandteil des erfindungsgemäßen Sitz-/Liegemöbels auszubilden, welches insbesondere zusammen mit dem Sitzteil und dem Rückenteil an einem gemeinsamen Grundkörper angeordnet ist.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, a support part is provided, which has a sitting / lying surface which adjoins the seat surface of the seat part, wherein in the sitting position, the seat surface and the sitting / lying surface lie in a common plane. The support part can be a separate furniture part which is attached to the sitting / lying furniture. But it is also possible to form the support member as an integral part of the seating / reclining furniture according to the invention, which is arranged in particular together with the seat part and the back part on a common base body.

Vorzugsweise ist das Sitz-/Liegemöbel als Eckelement für ein Mehrsitzersofa ausgebildet. Derartige Eckelemente weisen oftmals aufgrund ihrer größeren effektiven Sitztiefe einen geringeren Sitzkomfort als die übrigen Sitzplätze des Mehrsitzersofas auf. Die Ausgestaltung eines Eckelements als Sitz-/Liegemöbel gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung gibt diesem Eckelement somit eine zusätzliche Funktionalität. Dabei bilden in der Ruheposition das Sitzteil und das Rückenteil in der vorstehend erläuterten Weise eine Stütze für den Rücken bzw. den Kopf des Benutzers, während ein oder mehrere weitere Sitzplätze des Mehrsitzersofas als Auflageteil für die Beine dienen.Preferably, the seating / reclining furniture is designed as a corner element for a multi-seat sofa. Such corner elements often have a lower seating comfort than the other seats of the multi-seater sofa due to their greater effective depth. The configuration of a corner element as a seat / reclining furniture according to the present invention thus gives this corner element an additional functionality. This form in the Rest position the seat part and the back part in the manner explained above, a support for the back or the head of the user, while one or more additional seats of Mehrsitzersofas serve as a support part for the legs.

Alternativ ist es auch möglich, das erfindungsgemäße Sitz-/Liegemöbel als Récamière, Ottomane oder Chaiselongue auszugestalten, dem mit der Erfindung eine Zusatzfunktionalität verliehen wird.Alternatively, it is also possible to design the sitting / lying furniture according to the invention as Récamière, ottoman or chaise longue, which is conferred with the invention, an additional functionality.

An der Rückseite des Rückenteils 14, also an der der Anlehnfläche 44 gegenüberliegenden Seite, ist ein Schwenk-Schiebebeschlag 38 angeordnet, welcher eine annähernd parallel zur Anlehnfläche 44 verlaufende Kulisse 40 aufweist. In der Kulisse 40 ist ein Zapfen 42 aufgenommen, der an einem am Grundkörper 12 angeordneten Tragarm 36 befestigt ist. Der Schwenk-Schiebebeschlag 38 ermöglicht sowohl eine Höhenverstellung als auch eine Neigungsverstellung des Rückenteils 14.At the rear side of the back part 14, that is to say on the side lying opposite the leaning surface 44, there is arranged a pivoting sliding fitting 38 which has a guide 40 extending approximately parallel to the leaning surface 44. In the gate 40, a pin 42 is received, which is attached to a arranged on the base body 12 support arm 36. Of the Swivel sliding fitting 38 allows both a height adjustment and a tilt adjustment of the back part 14th

An der Rückseite des Rückenteils 14 ist weiterhin ein in Art eines Schwenk-Schiebebeschlags ausgestalteter Kulissenarm 28 mit einer leicht gekrümmten Kulisse 30 angeordnet, wobei ein die Kulisse 30 aufweisender Abschnitt des Kulissenarms 28 das Rückenteil 14 nach unten überragt. In der Kulisse 30 ist ein an der Lasche 26 des Sitzteils 16 befestigter Mitnehmer 32 schwenkbar und verschiebbar geführt.At the rear of the back portion 14 a further designed in the manner of a swivel sliding fitting scenery arm 28 is arranged with a slightly curved gate 30, wherein a backdrop 30 exhibiting portion of the crank arm 28 projects beyond the back portion 14 down. In the gate 30 a fastened to the tab 26 of the seat part 16 driver 32 is pivotally and slidably guided.

Das Sitz-/Liegemöbel 10 weist ferner einen Motorantrieb 34 auf, der schwenkbar am Grundkörper 12 angelenkt ist. Ein linear antreibbarer Abschnitt des Motorantriebs 34 ist an der Lasche 26 angelenkt.The sitting / reclining furniture 10 further includes a motor drive 34 which is pivotally connected to the base body 12. A linearly drivable portion of the motor drive 34 is hinged to the tab 26.

Um das Sitz-/Liegemöbel 10 von der Sitzposition (Fig. 1) in die Ruheposition (Fig. 2) zu verstellen, wird der Motorantrieb 34 durch Betätigung eines nicht dargestellten Bedienelements in Gang gesetzt, um das Sitzteil 16 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn zu verschwenken. Dabei stößt das Sitzteil 16 von unten an das Rückenteil 14 an und verschiebt dieses nach oben. Im Verlauf der Verstellbewegung wandert der Mitnehmer 32 in der Kulisse 30 nach oben, bis er kurz vor oder beim Erreichen der Ruheposition des Rückenteils 14 am oberen Ende der Kulisse 30 anstößt, das Rückenteil 14 noch um ein bestimmtes Maß verschiebt und es schließlich in der Ruheposition arretiert.To move the reclining / reclining furniture 10 from the sitting position ( Fig. 1 ) in the rest position ( Fig. 2 ) to adjust, the motor drive 34 is set by operation of an operating element, not shown, in order to pivot the seat part 16 in the counterclockwise direction. The seat part 16 abuts from the bottom of the back part 14 and moves it upwards. In the course of the adjustment of the driver 32 moves in the gate 30 upwards until it abuts shortly before or when reaching the rest position of the back 14 at the upper end of the link 30, the back part 14 still shifts to a certain extent and finally in the rest position locked.

Während der Verstellung von der Sitzposition in die Ruheposition erfährt der Mitnehmer 32 neben einer Verlagerung in vertikaler Richtung auch eine Verlagerung in horizontaler Richtung, so dass sich die Kulisse 30 ebenfalls um ein bestimmtes Maß in horizontaler Richtung verlagert und dadurch das Rückenteil 14 derart verschwenkt wird, dass es nunmehr eine flachere Neigung, beispielsweise 55°, aufweist.During the adjustment of the sitting position in the rest position of the driver 32 learns in addition to a shift in the vertical direction and a shift in the horizontal direction, so that the slide 30 also displaced by a certain amount in the horizontal direction and thereby the back part 14 is pivoted such that it now has a flatter inclination, for example 55 °.

Hierdurch wird das Rückenteil 14 in eindeutig definierter Weise verlagert, während auch das Sitzteil 16 durch die beiden Führungshebel 20, 22 entlang eines eindeutig definierten Weges bewegt wird.As a result, the back part 14 is displaced in a clearly defined manner, while also the seat part 16 is moved by the two guide levers 20, 22 along a clearly defined path.

Zum Verstellen des Sitz-/Liegemöbels 10 von der Ruheposition (Fig. 2) in die Sitzposition (Fig. 1) wird der Motorantriebdurch 34 durch Betätigung des nicht dargestellten Bedienelements in umgekehrter Richtung in Gang gesetzt, um das Sitzteil 16 in Richtung des Uhrzeigersinns zu verschwenken. Im Verlauf der Verstellbewegung wandert der Mitnehmer 32 entlang der Kulisse 30, bis er an ihrem unteren Ende anstößt und damit das Rückenteil 14 nach unten verschiebt, sofern es sich unter dem Einfluss der Schwerkraft nicht schon selbsttätig in Richtung der Sitzposition verstellt hat. Dabei wird auch die Neigung des Rückenteils 14 wieder in Richtung der ursprünglichen, steileren Neigung verstellt.For adjusting the sitting / lying furniture 10 from the rest position ( Fig. 2 ) in the sitting position ( Fig. 1 ), the motor drive by 34 is actuated by operating the control element, not shown in the reverse direction to pivot the seat part 16 in the clockwise direction. In the course of the adjusting movement of the driver 32 moves along the link 30 until it abuts at its lower end and thus the back part 14 moves downward, provided that it has not already adjusted automatically under the influence of gravity in the direction of the seating position. In this case, the inclination of the back part 14 is again adjusted in the direction of the original, steeper inclination.

Die Konturen von Rückenteil 14, Sitzteil 16 und Auflageteil 18 sind derart aufeinander abgestimmt, dass sich sowohl in der Sitzposition als auch in der Ruheposition ein geschlossenes Erscheinungsbild ohne störende Spalten zwischen Rückenteil 14, Sitzteil 16 und/oder Auflageteil 18 ergibt. Wahlweise kann auch ein durchgehender Bezug vorgesehen sein.The contours of back part 14, seat part 16 and support member 18 are coordinated so that results in both the sitting position and in the rest position, a closed appearance without disturbing gaps between the back part 14, seat part 16 and / or support member 18. Optionally, a continuous reference may be provided.

Grundsätzlich erlaubt der Motorantrieb 34 eine stufenlose Verstellung, so dass das Sitz-/Liegemöbel 10 auch in beliebige Zwischenpositionen verstellt werden kann.Basically, the motor drive 34 allows a continuous adjustment, so that the sitting / lying furniture 10 can be adjusted in any intermediate positions.

Anstelle des Motorantriebs 34 kann auch eine manuelle Verstellung vorgesehen sein. Zur Arretierung in einer bestimmten Verstellposition kann anstelle des Motorantriebs 34 ein Rasterbeschlag vorgesehen werden. Zur Unterstützung der Verstellbewegung kann zusätzlich oder alternativ z.B. auch eine Gasdruckfeder vorgesehen werden.Instead of the motor drive 34 and a manual adjustment can be provided. For locking in a certain adjustment position can Instead of the motor drive 34 a grid fitting can be provided. To support the adjustment, in addition or alternatively, for example, a gas spring can be provided.

Der Vollständigkeit halber sei angemerkt, dass die vorstehend erläuterten Beschlagelemente zur Verstellung und/oder Befestigung des Rückenteils 14 und des Sitzteils 16 in Fig. 1 nur einmal dargestellt sind. Es versteht sich, dass diese üblicherweise in einer gleichartigen Anordnung auf beiden Seiten des Sitz-/Liegemöbels 10 vorhanden sein können, wobei einzelne Elemente, insbesondere der Motorantrieb 34, auch nur einmal vorgesehen werden können. Der Motorantrieb 34 kann wahlweise seitlich oder mittig angeordnet werden.For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that the above-described fitting elements for adjusting and / or fastening the back part 14 and the seat part 16 in FIG Fig. 1 are shown only once. It is understood that these can usually be present in a similar arrangement on both sides of the sitting / lying furniture 10, wherein individual elements, in particular the motor drive 34, can also be provided only once. The motor drive 34 can optionally be arranged laterally or centrally.
