Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Polstermöbel mit einem ausschwenkbaren Tischelement.The invention relates to a upholstered furniture with a swing-out table element.

Es sind Polstermöbel bekannt, bei denen ein Teil einer Rückenlehne eines Sitzbereichs aus dieser heraus verschwenkt werden kann, um eine zumindest weitgehend horizontale Ablagefläche zu bilden. Bei konventionellen Mechanismen dieser Art stört jedoch in der Regel der Bereich der Rückenlehne, aus dem der als Ablagefläche dienende Teil heraus geschwenkt wird, erheblich die Zugänglichkeit zu dem als Ablagefläche nutzbaren Bereich. Weiterhin stört er die Sichtlinie zwischen den der Ablagefläche benachbarten Plätzen, insbesondere dann, wenn die dortigen Rückenlehnen, beispielsweise beim TV-Konsum, in eine flachere Position überführt werden.There are known upholstered furniture, in which a part of a backrest of a seat portion can be pivoted out of this to form an at least substantially horizontal storage surface. In conventional mechanisms of this type, however, usually disturbs the area of the backrest, from which the serving as a storage area part is pivoted out, significantly the accessibility to the usable as a storage area. Furthermore, it disturbs the line of sight between the storage area adjacent places, especially when the local backrests, for example, when TV consumption, are transferred to a shallower position.

Ein Polstermöbel mit einem ausschwenkbaren Tischelement ist aus DE20 2011 051 245 U1 bekannt.A upholstered furniture with a swing-out table element is made DE20 2011 051 245 U1 known.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Polstermöbel mit einem als Ablagefläche nutzbaren ausschwenkbaren Element in der Rückenlehne aufzuzeigen, welches eine Nutzung der Ablagefläche ermöglicht, bei der der Ablagefläche zugeordnete Bereich der Rückenlehne als weniger störend empfunden wird, ohne dass ein erhöhter Bedienaufwand notwendig ist.The object of the invention is therefore to show a upholstered furniture with a usable as a storage area swing-out element in the backrest, which allows use of the shelf in which the storage area associated area of the backrest is perceived as less disturbing without an increased operating effort is necessary.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Polstermöbel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Die Merkmale der Unteransprüche betreffen vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen.The object is achieved by a upholstered furniture with the features of claim 1. The features of the subclaims relate to advantageous embodiments.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe gelöst, dass das Tischelement, welches von einer Tischposition in eine Sitzposition verschwenkbar ist, derart mit der Rückenlehne gekoppelt ist, dass die Rückenlehne durch das Verschwenken des Tischelements mit einem dem Drehsinn der Verschwenkbewegung des Tischelements entgegengesetzten Drehsinn verschwenkt wird. Wird das erfindungsgemäße Tischelement von der Tischposition in die Sitzposition geschwenkt, richtet sich dadurch die Rückenlehne auf, das Tischelement ist als Teil der Rückenlehne nutzbar und die Rückenlehne befindet sich in einer steilen Sitzposition, wie sie bei einem Polstermöbel in der Regel gewünscht wird, wenn beispielsweise mehrere Personen auf diesem Platz nehmen möchten, um sich zu unterhalten.According to the invention the object is achieved in that the table element, which is pivotable from a table position to a seating position, in such a way with the backrest is coupled, that the backrest is pivoted by the pivoting of the table element with a direction of rotation of the pivoting movement of the table element opposite direction of rotation. If the table element according to the invention is pivoted from the table position to the sitting position, the backrest is thereby aligned, the table element can be used as part of the backrest and the backrest is in a steep sitting position, as is usually desired in upholstered furniture, for example want to take several people on this place to have a chat.

Wird das Tischelement von der Sitzposition in die Tischposition verschwenkt, wobei unter einer Verschwenkbewegung im Sinne dieser Anmeldung nicht nur eine rein rotatorische, sondern auch eine kombinierte Bewegung, die rotatorische und translatorische Elemente enthält, verstanden wird, so wird die Rücklehne mit entgegengesetztem Drehsinn, d.h. in eine flachere Position verschwenkt. In dieser Position ist das Tischelement als Ablagefläche nutzbar und die Rückenlehne stört die Sichtlinie zwischen den dem Tischelement benachbarten Sitzplätzen auch dann nicht, wenn bei diesen Sitzplätzen die Rückenlehne ebenfalls in eine flachere Position verschwenkt wird, wie sie beispielsweise beim TV-Konsum häufig bevorzugt wird. Gerade in solchen Situationen wird oft eine in Griffweite befindliche Ablagefläche gewünscht, die so den beiden dem Tischelement benachbarten Plätzen zur Verfügung steht. Das Tischelement befindet sich dann vorzugsweise in seiner Tischposition oberhalb des Sitzpolsters, also in einer auch gegenüber den dem Tischelement benachbarten Sitzplätzen in deren Sitzpolstern leicht erhöhtem Niveau, was den Komfort beim Abstellen und Greifen von Gegenständen noch erhöht.If the table element is pivoted from the sitting position into the table position, wherein a pivoting movement in the sense of this application not only a purely rotational, but also a combined movement containing rotational and translational elements, is understood, the backrest with opposite rotation, ie pivoted to a shallower position. In this position, the table element can be used as a storage area and the backrest does not interfere with the line of sight between the seats adjacent the table element, even if in these seats, the backrest is also pivoted to a shallower position, as is often preferred, for example, in TV consumption. Especially in such situations, a shelf located within reach is often desired, which is so the two adjacent to the table element places available. The table element is then preferably in its table position above the seat cushion, ie in a seat opposite the table element adjacent seats in their seat cushions slightly elevated level, which increases the comfort when parking and gripping objects.

Vorteilhafterweise besitzt das Tischelement an seiner in der als Tischposition als Ablagefläche nutzbaren Seite ein Polster, welches in der Sitzposition einen Teil der Polsterung der Rückenlehne bildet. Auf diese Weise fügt sich das Tischelement in der Sitzposition sowohl optisch als auch funktionell in das Polstermöbel ein, so dass sich das Polstermöbel optisch nicht oder zumindest nicht wesentlich von einem Polstermöbel ohne derartiges schwenkbares Tischelement unterscheidet.Advantageously, the table element has at its usable as a table position as a storage surface page a pad, which forms a part of the upholstery of the backrest in the sitting position. In this way, the table element fits in the seating position, both visually and functionally in the upholstered furniture, so that the upholstered furniture optically not or at least not significantly different from a upholstered furniture without such a pivoting table element.

Vorzugsweise dient zur Kopplung von Tischelement und Rückenlehne ein Viergelenk. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn auf beiden Seiten des Tischelements entsprechende Viergelenke vorhanden sind. Derartige Viergelenke bieten den Vorteil, dass sie statt einer rein rotatorischen eine kombinierte rotatorische und translatorische Bewegung ermöglichen. Weiterhin können durch unterschiedliche Länge der Glieder des Viergelenks Hebelwirkungen erzielt werden, was ein leichtes Bedienen ermöglicht. Durch die kombinierten rotatorischen und translatorischen Bewegungen kann das Tischelement in eine Tischposition überführt werden, bei der sein als Teil der Rückenlehne dienendes Polster hinreichenden Abstand zum Sitzpolster aufweist, so dass die Tischposition erreicht werden kann, ohne dass es zu einer nennenswerten Polsterpressung kommt, gleichzeitig aber durch eine translatorische Verlagerung der Drehachse der Schwenkbewegung während des Verschwenkens in die Sitzposition in der Sitzposition eine Position des Tischelements herbeigeführt wird, in der sich dessen als Teil der Rückenlehnenpolsterung dienendes Polster optimal in die Rückenlehne einfügt.Preferably, a four-bar linkage serves to couple the table element and the backrest. It is advantageous if corresponding four joints are present on both sides of the table element. Such four joints offer the advantage that they allow a combined rotational and translational movement instead of a purely rotary. Furthermore, leverages can be achieved by different lengths of the links of the four-bar linkage, allowing for easy operation. Due to the combined rotational and translational movements, the table element can be transferred to a table position, in which his serving as part of the backrest cushion sufficient distance from the seat cushion, so that the table position can be achieved without causing a significant cushioning pressure, but at the same time by a translational displacement of the axis of rotation of the pivoting movement during the pivoting in the sitting position in the sitting position, a position of the table element is brought about, in which the cushion serving as part of the backrest padding fits optimally into the backrest.

Das Tischelement vollführt dabei eine Verschwenkbewegung, deren Rotationsanteil wenigstens bei etwa 90° liegt, die Rückenlehne selbst wird dabei jedoch durch um einen deutlich geringeren Winkel verschwenkt. Durch die entsprechende Dimensionierung der Glieder des Viergelenks entsteht dabei eine Hebelwirkung, die den notwendigen Kraftaufwand, der durch das gleichzeitige Mitverschwenken der Rückenlehne mit dem Tischelement entsteht, reduziert.The table element performs while a pivoting movement, the rotation rate is at least about 90 °, the backrest itself is thereby pivoted by a much smaller angle. Due to the appropriate dimensioning of the links of the four-bar linkage creates a leverage that reduces the necessary force, which is created by the simultaneous Mitverschwenken the backrest with the table element.

Vorzugsweise sind Tischelement und/oder Rückenlehne schwenkbar an ein Rahmenelement angelenkt. Das Rahmenelement ist dabei vorzugsweise Teil der Unterkonstruktion des Sitzpolsters und bietet den verschwenkbaren Elementen ein festes Widerlager.Preferably, table element and / or backrest are pivotally hinged to a frame member. The frame member is preferably part of the substructure of the seat cushion and provides the pivotable elements a fixed abutment.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist dabei, wenn das Rahmenelement gleichzeitig ein Glied des Viergelenks bildet. Auf diese Weise können weitere Glieder des Viergelenks direkt an das Rahmenelement angelenkt werden.It is particularly advantageous if the frame member simultaneously forms a member of the four-bar linkage. In this way, more members of the four-bar linkage can be articulated directly to the frame member.

Es ist weiterhin vorteilhaft, wenn die Rückenlehne und/ oder das Tischelement starr mit jeweils einem Glied des Viergelenks verbunden sind. Die Verbindung kann dabei beispielsweise durch an die Glieder des Viergelenks angeformte oder daran befestigte Flanschplatten erfolgen, an die Tischelement bzw. Rückenlehne angeschraubt werden.It is also advantageous if the backrest and / or the table element are rigidly connected to a respective member of the four-bar linkage. The connection can be made, for example, by integrally formed on the members of the four-bar link or attached thereto flange plates are screwed to the table element or backrest.

Vorteilhafterweise bietet das Viergelenk gleichzeitig auch eine Arretierfunktion für die Tischposition des Tischelements. Dies kann dadurch erzielt werden, dass ein Teil eines Gliedes des Viergelenks als Anlagebereich ausgebildet ist, der in der Tischposition zur Anlage an einem anderen Element des Viergelenks kommt. Hierdurch kann das Tischelement in der Tischposition ohne anderweitigen Anschlag auskommen, was insbesondere deswegen vorteilhaft ist, da durch die vorteilhafte erfindungsgemäße Anordnung des Tischelements oberhalb des Sitzpolsters nur eine Anlage Polster an Polster in Frage käme, was nicht zu einer definierten Position und damit zu einer definierten horizontalen Ablagefläche führen würde. In der Sitzposition dagegen kann das Tischelement an der Rückenlehne zur Anlage kommen, was sogar vorteilhaft ist, da es sich letztendlich in die Rückenlehne als Teil derer Polsterung einfügen soll.Advantageously, the four-bar joint also provides a locking function for the table position of the table element. This can be achieved in that a part of a link of the four-bar link is formed as a contact area, which comes in the table position to rest on another element of the four-bar linkage. In this way, the table element can get along in the table position without otherwise stop, which is particularly advantageous because the advantageous inventive arrangement of the table element above the seat cushion only a pad plant on upholstery in question, which is not a defined position and thus to a defined horizontal shelf would lead. In the sitting position, however, the table element can come to rest on the backrest, which is even beneficial, since it should ultimately fit into the backrest as part of their upholstery.

Vorteilhaft ist es weiterhin, ein Glied des Viergelenks, welches vorzugsweise ein Glied des Viergelenks ist, welches weder mit dem Tischelement noch mit der Rückenlehne noch mit der Rahmenstruktur oder einem sonstigen Element des Polstermöbels starr verbunden ist, längenveränderlich auszubilden. Dadurch ist eine Justage nach der Montage möglich und Fertigungstoleranzen können ausgeglichen werden. So ist es beispielsweise möglich, durch ein längenveränderliches Glied des Viergelenks eine Feinjustage der horizontalen Ausrichtung der Ablagefläche des Tischelements in der Tischposition zu ermöglichen.It is also advantageous, a member of the four-bar linkage, which is preferably a member of the four-bar linkage, which is rigidly connected neither to the table element nor to the backrest nor to the frame structure or any other element of the upholstered furniture, variable length form. As a result, an adjustment after assembly is possible and manufacturing tolerances can be compensated. So it is for example possible to allow by a variable-length member of the four-bar a fine adjustment of the horizontal orientation of the shelf of the table element in the table position.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand der Figuren 1 bis 5 schematisch näher erläutert.

The invention will be described below with reference to the FIGS. 1 to 5 schematically explained in more detail.
  • FIG. 1 shows a portion of a upholstered furniture according to the invention in the sitting position.
  • FIG. 2 shows a portion of the exemplary upholstered furniture according to the invention in the table position.
  • FIG. 3 shows an exemplary pivoting mechanism according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 shows the in the FIG. 3 illustrated mechanism 'in the table position.
  • FIG. 5 shows an enlarged detail of the exemplary four-bar linkage according to the invention.

Das Tischelement 3 des beispielhaften erfindungsgemäßen Polstermöbels ist im Bereich eines Sitzpolsters 2 angeordnet, welches sich zwischen zwei weiteren Sitzplätzen befindet. Wird das Tischelement 3 in die Tischposition verschwenkt, verdeckt es teilweise das Sitzpolster 2 und stellt eine von den Sitzplätzen 6 gut zugängliche Ablagefläche 4 zur Verfügung. Die Rückenlehne 1 wird dabei in eine gegenüber der Sitzposition flachere Stellung verschwenkt.The table element 3 of the exemplary upholstered furniture according to the invention is arranged in the region of a seat cushion 2, which is located between two further seats. If the table element 3 is pivoted into the table position, it partially covers the seat cushion 2 and provides a storage area 4 that is easily accessible from the seats 6. The backrest 1 is pivoted in a position which is flatter relative to the sitting position.

Befindet sich das Tischelement 3 in der Sitzposition, so kann das Sitzpolster 2 als Sitzfläche des Polstermöbels genutzt werden. Eine Person, die sich gegen die Rückenlehne 1 und das Polster 5 des Tischelements 3 anlehnt, kann dabei keine ungewollte Verstellung des Tischelements 3 oder der Rückenlehne 1 auslösen, da Tischelement 3 und Rückenlehne 1 in ihren möglichen Bewegungen gekoppelt sind und diese zwangsweise gegenläufig ausführen müssen, so dass beim Anlehnen an die Rückenlehne 1 und eine Druckausübung an Rückenlehne 1 und Polster 5 in der gleichen Richtung eine Selbsthemmung der möglichen Bewegungen eintritt und keine Verschwenkbewegung eines Elements ausgelöst werden kannThe table element 3 is in the sitting position, so the seat cushion 2 can be used as a seat of the upholstered furniture. A person who leans against the backrest 1 and the pad 5 of the table element 3, it can trigger any unwanted adjustment of the table element 3 or the backrest 1, since the table element 3 and backrest 1 are coupled in their possible movements and these forcibly in opposite directions must perform so that when leaning against the backrest 1 and a pressure on the backrest 1 and cushion 5 in the same direction, a self-locking of the possible movements occurs and no pivoting movement of an element can be triggered

. Die mechanische Kopplung zwischen Tischelement 3 und Rückenlehne 1 erfolgt bei dem beispielhaften erfindungsgemäßen Polstermöbel über ein Viergelenk 7. Dabei stellt ein Rahmenelement 8, welches Bestandteil der Unterkonstruktion 14 des Polstermöbels ist, eines der Glieder des Viergelenks dar. Weitere Glieder des Viergelenks 7 sind an den Anlenkpunkten 12 und 15 am Rahmenelement 8 angelenkt. Durch diese Konstruktion wird dem Viergelenk 7 und den damit verbundenen verschwenkbaren Elementen, nämlich Tischelement 3 und Rückenlehne 1, ein stabiles festes Widerlager geboten., The mechanical coupling between the table element 3 and the backrest 1 takes place in the exemplary upholstered furniture according to the invention via a four-bar linkage 7. A frame element 8, which is a component of the substructure 14 of the upholstered furniture, represents one of the links of the four-bar linkage. Further links of the four-bar linkage 7 are attached to the Anlenkpunkten 12 and 15 hinged to the frame member 8. By this construction, the four-bar linkage 7 and the associated pivotable elements, namely table element 3 and backrest 1, a stable solid abutment offered.

Das Viergelenk 7 des beispielhaften erfindungsgemäßen Polstermöbels weist des Weiteren ein verstellbares Glied 13 auf. Dieses Glied ist längenveränderlich, was im gezeigten Beispiel durch eine Gewindestange realisiert ist. Durch die längenveränderlichen Glieder 13 der Viergelenke 7 ist es möglich, die horizontale Ausrichtung des Tischelements 3 zu justieren.The four-bar linkage 7 of the exemplary upholstered furniture according to the invention furthermore has an adjustable member 13. This member is variable in length, which is realized in the example shown by a threaded rod. By the variable-length members 13 of the four joints 7, it is possible to adjust the horizontal orientation of the table element 3.

Das Tischelement 3 wird in seiner Tischposition dadurch arretiert, dass ein Anschlagbereich 11 an einem Glied des Viergelenks bei Erreichen der Tischposition durch das Tischelement 3 an einem Element 12, im gezeigten Beispiel ein Anlenkpunkt des Viergelenks 7 am Rahmenelement 8, zum Anliegen kommt. Hierdurch wird das Viergelenk in einer weiteren Bewegung gehemmt, die Position des Tischelements 3 und damit gleichzeitig auch der Rückenlehne 1 arretiert.The table element 3 is locked in its table position, characterized in that a stop area 11 comes to rest on a member of the four-bar when reaching the table position by the table element 3 on an element 12, in the example shown, a pivot point of the four-bar linkage 7 on the frame element 8. As a result, the four-bar linkage is inhibited in another movement, the position the table element 3 and thus simultaneously locked the backrest 1.

An dem Glied 9 des Viergelenks 7 ist des Weiteren ein Lochflansch 9a angebracht, der zur Befestigung der Stützkonstruktion 1a der Rückenlehne 1 dient. Dementsprechend weist das Glied 10 des Viergelenks ebenfalls ein Befestigungselement, insbesondere einen Lochflansch 10a auf, an dem die Stützkonstruktion 3a des Tischelements 3 befestigt werden kann.On the member 9 of the four-bar link 7, a hole flange 9 a is further attached, which serves for fastening the support structure 1 a of the backrest 1. Accordingly, the member 10 of the four-bar linkage likewise has a fastening element, in particular a hole flange 10 a, on which the supporting structure 3 a of the table element 3 can be fastened.
