Ein solcher Bürostuhl ist des Weiteren üblicherweise durch entsprechende Ausbildung der Stuhlsäule höhenverstellbar und über Rollen, die an sternförmig angeordneten Auslegerarmen gehalten sind, in leichtgängiger Weise verschiebbar. Häufig ist ein derartiger Bürostuhl auch mit einer Synchronmechanik versehen, die eine synchrone Bewegung der Sitzfläche mit der Rückenlehne ermöglicht.Such an office chair is further usually adjustable in height by appropriate design of the chair column and on rollers, which are held on star-shaped boom arms, slidably in a smooth manner. Frequently, such an office chair is also provided with a synchronous mechanism, which allows a synchronous movement of the seat with the backrest.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen derartigen Bürostuhl derart montierbar zu gestalten, dass dieser raumsparend transportiert und/oder gelagert werden kann.The invention has for its object to make such an office chair mountable so that it can be transported and / or stored to save space.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche 1 und 10. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by the features of the
Hierzu ist der erfindungsgemäße Stuhl, insbesondere Bürostuhl, werkzeuglos montierbar gestaltet, indem besonders bevorzugt der Lehnenträger zweiteilig unter Bildung zweiter Trägerschenkel ausgebildet ist, die im Zuge der Montage in einer formschlüssigen Steckverbindung gefügt und in dieser verriegelt sind. Zusätzlich oder alternativ können gegebenenfalls vorhandene Armlehnen ebenfalls in einer entsprechenden formschlüssigen Steckverbindung mit dem Lehnenträger gefügt und in dieser Steckverbindung verriegelt sein.For this purpose, the chair according to the invention, in particular office chair, designed to be mounted without tools by particularly preferably the backrest support is formed in two parts forming second support legs, which are joined in the course of assembly in a positive connection and locked in this. Additionally or alternatively, any existing armrests may also be joined in a corresponding positive plug-in connection with the backrest support and locked in this connector.
Hinsichtlich der Füge- oder Steckverbindung des zweiteiligen Lehnenträgers ist dieser aus einem dem Sitzträger zugeordneten ersten Trägerschenkel und einem der Rückenlehne zugeordneten zweiten Trägerschenkel gebildet, wobei der lehnenseitige (zweite) Trägerschenkel mit dem sitzträgerseitigen (ersten) Trägerschenkel in der formschlüssigen Steckverbindung im Zuge des Fügevorgangs verriegelt. Hierzu weist geeigneterweise einer der Trägerschenkel fügeseitig eine schacht- oder buchsenartige Steckaufnahme und der andere Trägerschenkel fügeseitig einen korrespondierenden Steckschaft auf.With regard to the joining or plug connection of the two-part backrest support, this is formed from a first support leg assigned to the seat support and a second support leg assigned to the backrest, the back side (second) support leg being locked to the seat support side (first) support leg in the positive plug connection in the course of the joining operation , For this purpose, suitably one of the carrier legs on the plug side a shaft or socket-like plug-in receptacle and the other carrier leg on the plug side a corresponding plug-in shaft.
Die Verriegelung der beiden Trägerschenkel miteinander erfolgt mittels eines Sperrriegels, der innerhalb der Steckaufnahme drehbeweglich angeordnet und dabei, vorzugsweise in Steckrichtung des Steckschafts des entsprechenden Trägerschenkels, schwenkbewegbar angeordnet ist. Alternativ kann ein Sperrhaken vorgesehen sein, der dann entgegen der Steckrichtung des Steckschafts schwenkbeweglich in der Steckaufnahme angeordnet ist.The locking of the two carrier legs together by means of a locking bolt, which is rotatably disposed within the socket and thereby, preferably in the insertion direction of the insertion shaft of the corresponding support leg, pivotally mounted. Alternatively it can be provided a pawl, which is then arranged against the direction of insertion of the socket pivotally mounted in the socket.
Zur Erhöhung der Kraft, mit welcher der Sperrriegel im Zuge der Steck- beziehungsweise Fügeverbindung in dessen Verriegelungsstellung verschwenkt, ist zweckmäßigerweise ein mechanisches Federelement, insbesondere im Form einer als Druckfeder wirksamen Schrauben-, Kegel- oder Sprungfeder, vorgesehen. Dieses Federelement stützt sich innerhalb der Steckaufnahme des entsprechenden Trägerschenkels einerseits an deren Innenwand und andererseits am Sperrriegel ab.In order to increase the force with which the locking bolt pivots in the locking position in the course of the plug or joint connection, a mechanical spring element, in particular in the form of a helical, conical or spring spring acting as a compression spring, is expediently provided. This spring element is supported within the socket of the corresponding support leg on the one hand on the inner wall and on the other hand on the locking bolt.
Im Zuge des Steckvorgangs, bei welchem der Sperrriegel mittels des Steckschaftfreiendes verschwenkt wird, wird das Federelement gespannt. Sobald der Steckschaft des entsprechenden Trägerschenkels eine bestimmte Sollposition innerhalb der Steckaufnahme des anderen Trägerschenkels erreicht hat, verschwenkt der Sperrriegel - gegebenenfalls unterstützt durch die Rückstellkraft des Federelements - in eine steckschaftseitige Verriegelungskontur. Eine der Steckaufnahme innenseitig zugeordnete Stufenkontur oder Abkantung ermöglicht ein vollständiges Ausschwenken des Sperrriegels im Zuge der Steckverbindung, so dass der Steckschaft mit dessen Freiende und dessen die Verriegelungskontur aufweisenden Schaftabschnitt den gegen die Innenwandung der Steckaufnahme eingeschwenkten Sperrriegel ungehindert passieren kann.In the course of the plug-in process, in which the locking bolt is pivoted by means of the shank free end, the spring element is tensioned. Once the insertion shaft of the corresponding support leg has reached a certain desired position within the socket of the other carrier limb, the locking bolt pivots - possibly supported by the restoring force of the spring element - in a union-side locking contour. One of the plug-in receptacle on the inside assigned step contour or fold allows complete swinging of the locking bolt in the course of the connector, so that the socket shaft with its free end and its locking contour having shaft portion can pass unhindered pivoted against the inner wall of the plug receptacle locking bolt.
Zur möglichst reibungsarmen Verschwenkung des Sperrriegels gegen die Innenwandung der Steckaufnahme weist der Steckschaft des entsprechenden Trägerschenkels freiendseitig eine konvexe Außenkontur auf.For low-friction as possible pivoting of the locking bolt against the inner wall of the socket, the insertion shank of the corresponding support leg freiendseitig on a convex outer contour.
Gemäß einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung ist entlang der Verriegelungskontur des Steckschafts eine Sperrrampe ausgebildet, an welcher der Sperrriegel im Zuge der Steckverbindung mit dessen freiendseitiger Stirnfläche entlang in die Riegelendstellung gleitet. Eine geeignete Weiterbildung sieht vor, dass entlang der Verriegelungskontur eine in einen Rampenboden schräg einlaufende Anlagerampe ausgebildet ist, gegen welche der Sperrriegel im Zuge der Verriegelung ausschwenkt. In diesen Rampenboden läuft auch die Sperrrampe der Verriegelungskontur ein.According to an expedient embodiment, a locking ramp is formed along the locking contour of the plug-in shaft, on which the locking bolt slides in the course of the connector with its free-end side face along in the Riegelendstellung. A suitable further development provides that along the locking contour, a ramp ramping into a ramp floor is formed, against which the locking bar swings in the course of locking. The locking ramp of the locking contour also enters this ramp floor.
Die Verriegelungskontur ist dabei derart ausgebildet, dass der Sperrriegel im Zuge seiner Schwenkbewegung in die Riegelendstellung den Steckschaft in die Steckaufnahme in Steckrichtung einzieht. Dieser Effekt des Selbsteinziehens des den Steckschaft aufweisenden Trägerschenkels in die Steckaufnahme des anderen Trägerschenkels wird durch eine entsprechende Ausgestaltung der Sperrrampe erzielt, indem sich diese mit zunehmender Rampentiefe an den Schwenkradius des Sperrriegels anschmiegt. Dieser Effekt mit einem entsprechend gesteuerten Verschwenken des Sperrriegels in dessen Riegelendstellung wird durch das Federelement unterstützt, wobei manuell durchgeführte Relativbewegungen zwischen den beiden Trägerschenkeln in Bewegungen des den Steckschaft aufweisenden Trägerschenkels in Steckrichtung resultieren, bis der Sperrriegel seine Riegelendstellung erreicht hat.The locking contour is designed such that the locking bolt moves in the course of its pivotal movement in the bolt end position the insertion shaft into the plug-in receptacle in the insertion direction. This effect of self-retraction of the plug shank having carrier leg in the socket of the other carrier leg is achieved by a corresponding design of the locking ramp by these hugs with increasing depth of the ramp to the pivot radius of the locking bar. This effect with a correspondingly controlled pivoting of the locking bolt in the final bolt position is achieved by the spring element supported, wherein manually performed relative movements between the two support legs in movements of the insertion shaft having carrier leg result in the insertion direction until the locking bar has reached its Riegelendstellung.
Bei gegebenenfalls vorhandenen Armlehnen werden diese geeigneterweise über eine entsprechende Steckverbindung inklusive Verriegelung im Zuge einer manuellen Montage mit dem Lehnenträger gefügt. Hierbei kann dieser eine entsprechende Steckaufnahme aufweisen, während dann das jeweilige Armelehnenteil einen korrespondierenden Steckschaft aufweist.In the case of any existing armrests, these are suitably joined via a corresponding plug connection including locking in the course of a manual assembly with the backrest support. In this case, this can have a corresponding plug-in receptacle, while then the respective armrest part has a corresponding insertion shaft.
In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung kann die Rückenlehne an den Sitzträger schwenkbeweglich gekoppelt und geeigneterweise zusätzlich die Sitzfläche synchron mit der Rückenlehne bewegbar an den Sitzträger gekoppelt sein.In an advantageous development, the backrest can be pivotably coupled to the seat support and suitably additionally the seat surface can be coupled to the seat support in a manner that is synchronous with the backrest.
Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass mittels einer derartigen formschlüssigen Steckverbindung eines zweiteilig ausgeführten Lehnenträgers die Rückenlehne eines Stuhls, bevorzugt eines Bürostuhls, manuell in einfacher Art und Weise an einen Sitzträger werkzeuglos montiert werden kann, wobei die Steckverbindung zwischen den beiden entsprechenden Trägerschenkeln selbsttätig verriegelt. Eine entsprechende werkzeuglose Montage gegebenenfalls vorhandener Armlehnen mittels einer entsprechenden Steckverbindung inklusive Verriegelung ermöglicht eine zeitsparende und besonders einfach handhabbare Montage eines in entsprechenden Einzelteilen gelieferten Stuhls ohne das Erfordernis der Bereitstellung von üblichen oder speziellen Werkzeugen.The advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that the backrest of a chair, preferably an office chair, manually mounted in a simple manner to a seat support without tools by means of such a positive connector of a two-part backrest support, wherein the connector between the two corresponding Carrier legs locked automatically. A corresponding tool-free installation of any existing armrests by means of a corresponding connector including locking allows a time-saving and very easy to handle installation of a delivered in appropriate items chair without the need of providing custom or special tools.
Obwohl eine entsprechende Steckverbindung mit unlösbarer Verriegelung bereits hinsichtlich einer raumsparenden Transportier- und/oder Lagermöglichkeit eines derartigen, in wenigen Einzelteilen bereitgestellten Bürostuhls zweckdienlich erscheint, ist die Verriegelung der Steckverbindung geeigneterweise lösbar. Hierzu ist vorteilhafterweise auf der der Drehachse des Sperrriegels gegenüberliegenden Seite der Steckaufnahme des entsprechenden Trägerschenkels in diesen eine Zugangsöffnung zum Sperrriegel eingebracht. Der Zugang des Sperrriegels über die der aufnahmeseitigen Stecköffnung zugewandten Steckschaftseite innerhalb der Steckverbindung erfolgt geeigneterweise über eine entsprechende, vorzugsweise wesentlich kleiner dimensionierte Entriegelungsöffnung innerhalb des Steckschaftes und dort im Bereich der Verriegelungskontur, insbesondere im Bereich ihrer Anlagerampe, an welcher der Sperrriegel in seiner Riegelendstellung anliegt.Although a corresponding connector with permanent lock already appears to be expedient with respect to a space-saving transport and / or storage facility of such, provided in a few items office chair, the locking of the connector is suitably solvable. For this purpose, advantageously on the axis of rotation of the locking bolt opposite side of the plug-in receptacle of the corresponding support leg inserted in this an access opening to the locking bolt. The access of the locking bolt over the plug-in connection facing the receptacle-side plug-in opening is suitably carried out via a corresponding, preferably substantially smaller, unlocking opening within the plug-in shaft and there in the region of the locking contour, in particular in the region of its application lamp, against which the locking bolt bears in its final bolt position.

Innerhalb des Steckschafts 19 ist auf dessen dem Sperrriegel 11 zugewandter Seite eine Verriegelungskontur 20 mit einer schräg verlaufenden, d. h. in Steckrichtung 21 schräg abfallenden Anlagerampe 21 und einer Sperrrampe 22 vorgesehen, die mit der Anlagerampe 21 im Bereich eines Rampenbodens 23 zusammenläuft. Die Sperrrampe 22 steigt in Steckrichtung 21 geeigneterweise kreisbogenförmig an, beziehungsweise fällt entgegen der gezeigten Steckrichtung 21 zum Rampenboden 23 hin ab.The back-side support leg 9 of the
Im Zuge der Herstellung der Steckverbindung 10 zwischen den beiden Trägerschenkeln 8, 9 des zweiteiligen Lehnenträgers 5 gelangt der Steckschaft 19 innerhalb der Steckaufnahme 12 in Anlagekontakt zum Sperrriegel 11. In Folge dessen wird der Sperrriegel 11 in dessen in
Zudem wird der Steckschaft 19 zunehmend in Steckrichtung 21 in die korrespondierende Steckaufnahme 12 des entsprechenden Trägerschenkels 8 eingezogen. Die Verriegelungskontur 20 und insbesondere der Verlauf der Sperrrampe 22 ist dabei derart ausgebildet, dass der Sperrriegel 11 im Zuge seiner Schwenkbewegung in die Riegelendstellung den Steckschaft 19 in die Steckaufnahme 12 in Steckrichtung 21 einzieht. Dieser Effekt des Selbsteinziehens des den Steckschaft 19 aufweisenden Trägerschenkels 9 in die Steckaufnahme 12 des anderen Trägerschenkels 8 wird durch eine entsprechende kreisbogenförmige Ausgestaltung der Sperrrampe 22 erzielt, indem sich diese mit zunehmender Rampentiefe an den Schwenkradius R11 des Sperrriegels 11 anschmiegt. Der dem Schwenkradius R11 des Sperrriegels 11 zugeordnete Kreis und der dem Kreisbogen der kreisbogenförmigen Sperrrampe 22 zugehörige Kreis mit dem Krümmungsradius R22 sind in
