Definitions
- the invention relates to a seat / reclining furniture, in particular armchair or chair, with a back part, a seat part and an adjustable footrest assembly, which is pivotable relative to the seat part between a folded basic position below a seat surface of the seat part and a deployed use position, wherein the footrest assembly comprises a frame , Which is attached to the part of the seat part or the seat part, and comprises a relative to the frame pivotable footrest.
- Such furniture is basically known. For example, go out DE 10 2005 001 875 A1 a seat / reclining furniture according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the pivotable footrest should in the unfolded use position as large as possible, i. Provide long contact surface, so that even a relatively large person a full foot rest is available. At the same time, the footrest should be as compact as possible and well stowed under the seat part in the retracted basic position.
- the problem here is in particular the relatively low ground clearance, ie the clear height between the floor on which the furniture stands, and the underside of the seat part in the region of the front edge of the seat part.
- the desired useful length of the footrest in the unfolded use position is practically always greater than this clear height.
- multi-part footrests which in a basic position corresponding state in which the parts of the footrest pushed together, folded, retracted or folded, are pivoted out of the basic position, wherein after reaching the unfolded use position the footrest forming parts are moved apart again. This can for example be done directly manually or indirectly via a fitting, which in turn is either manually or manually operated.
- This adjustment of the footrest can be accompanied by an adjustment of the seat part and in particular the back part. It is in fact desirable in practice that the footrest is folded out in a so-called relax or rest position of the furniture, in which the seat part is lowered in the rear area and thus provides a more inclined seat surface, wherein also in this relaxation or Rest position the backrest formed by the back part is also more inclined than in the basic position of the furniture.
- such footrests are provided with a separate cover or with a separate padding, which is not connected to the cover or the padding of the seat part.
- the individual parts of multi-part footrests are covered or upholstered separately. In this way it is ensured that the cover or padding is not affected by the fact that the footrest is pivoted relative to the seat part and also in a multi-part footrest, the individual parts are moved relative to each other. In particular, it can not come in the folded-in basic position to a disturbing folds of the cover or the upholstery.
- the object of the invention is to develop a sitting / reclining furniture of the type mentioned in that even with relatively low ground clearance a footrest is provided with the largest possible contact surface, in addition, there are no restrictions on the further equipment, especially in terms of cover or upholstery options.
- the footrest according to the invention has in the retracted basic position a greater length than in the intermediate position.
- the invention is thus based on the recognition that in the retracted basic position, the length of the footrest does not necessarily have to be minimal. Rather, it was recognized that, so to speak, the "bottleneck" is that pivotal position of the footrest, in which the footrest is oriented at least substantially vertically, since in this position, the available on the respective furniture ground clearance or clear height comes into play.
- the invention thus makes it possible to shorten or contract or retract the footrest during pivoting and pivoting so far that given by the ground clearance or the clear height "bottleneck" can be easily passed through.
- This opens the possibility to provide the entire footrest, optionally including the seat part, with a common, continuous cover or with a common, continuous padding.
- a possibly resulting in contracted footrest drapery of the cover or upholstery is inventively unproblematic, since this effect occurs only temporarily during the swinging or pivoting. While in the unfolded use position this problem does not exist anyway, but can be ensured by the invention that even in the retracted basic position drapery or similar disturbing effects that may occur due to the required shortening of the footrest, are not a problem.
- a tightening or smoothing of the cover or upholstery is achieved by the greater length of the footrest in the basic position compared to the intermediate position.
- the invention thus also allows for multi-part footrests with retractable and retractable extension a continuous cover or a continuous upholstery even if the footrest in the unfolded use position has a comparatively long effective length, as it increasingly from the customer is expected, and if the footrest due to a relatively low ground clearance or clear height must be comparatively shortened to be unfolded and folded.
- the length of the footrest in the intermediate position is minimal.
- extension is retractable and extendable relative to the base part.
- extension is extended in the normal position less far than in the use position.
- the base part and the extension are each formed plate-like or at least comprise a plate-shaped support element.
- the base part and the extension in the use position together form an at least substantially continuous support.
- the footrest is provided with a continuous cover or with a continuous padding.
- the footrest is extended in the basic position relative to the intermediate position such that a reference or a padding of the footrest is more streamlined or taut than in the intermediate position.

- the footrest is pivotable by means of a motor or manual drive.
- an adjustment of the seat part is provided as drive for the pivoting movement of the footrest and / or that the pivoting movement of the footrest is derived from an adjustment movement of the seat part.
- the seat part is supported on a support and is adjustable relative to the carrier, wherein in particular for supporting and adjusting the seat part, a front and a rear pivot lever arrangement are provided.
- a pivot mechanism is provided which is coupled on the one hand with the seat part and on the other hand with the base part of the footrest and mounted therebetween on the carrier.
- the pivoting movement of the footrest is superimposed on an adjustment of the seat part, wherein in particular in the intermediate position of the footrest, a front portion of the seat part is raised relative to the basic position.
- an adjusting arrangement is provided for the extension, which is effective between the extension and the frame.
- the base part is pivotable about a pivot axis relative to the frame and the adjusting arrangement is pivotally connected to a frame about the axis of adjustment.
- the pivot axis and the adjusting axis are offset parallel to each other, wherein in particular the adjusting axis extends below and preferably at least substantially vertically below the pivot axis.
- a further embodiment provides that the distance between the pivot axis and the adjusting axis during the pivoting movement of the footrest is unchanged.
- pivot axis and the adjusting axis are each stationary with respect to the frame.
- pivot axis and the adjusting axis define a plane which extends at least substantially vertically and / or parallel to the footrest located in the intermediate position, and / or which is oriented relative to the footrest located in the intermediate position such that the adjusting arrangement in the intermediate position, the length of the footrest to a minimum.
- the adjusting arrangement comprises an at least two-armed rotary lever which is between frame and extension connected and mounted rotatably on the base part about a rotation axis, wherein in particular the rotation axis is perpendicular to the pivot axis of the base part and / or perpendicular to a support surface defined by the base part.
- an effective length of the adjusting arrangement varies between the basic position and the use position of the footrest and in particular passes through an extreme value, in particular a maximum value.
- the adjusting arrangement comprises a connected to the frame, in its effective length between the basic position and the use position of the footrest variable control member and a connected to the base part and the extension Umsetzorgan which is coupled to the control member and a change of the effective Implementing the length of the control member in a movement of the extension relative to the base part, in particular, a reduction of the effective length of the control member is converted into an increase in the length of the footrest, and vice versa.
- the transfer element comprises an at least two-armed rotary lever which is rotatably mounted on the base part about an axis of rotation, wherein in particular the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the pivot axis of the base part and / or perpendicular to a bearing surface defined by the base part.
- the invention also relates to an adjustable footrest assembly, in particular for a sitting / lying furniture of the type described above, which is pivotable between a folded-in basic position and an unfolded use position, wherein the footrest assembly comprises a frame and a relatively pivotable to the frame footrest, and wherein the footrest a base part and an extension which between the basic position and the Useful position relative to the base part is movable such that the footrest is shorter in an intermediate position than in the use position and in the normal position.
- the footrest arrangement according to the invention can have one or more features of the footrest arrangement described above in connection with the seat / reclining furniture according to the invention.

- FIG. 2 an overall view with the relevant individual components of the furniture according to the invention at the same time in the basic position I, an intermediate position II and the use position III shows, is first based on Fig. 1 The concept of the pivoting footrest will be explained.
- Fig. 1 shows various views of a footrest assembly 15 including, inter alia, a frame 17 which forms part of the seat portion 13 (FIG. Fig. 2 ) or attached to the underside of the seat part 13.
- the frame 17 or a part of the frame serving as a base for movable components and the seat part 13 are not movable relative to one another in this exemplary embodiment, thus behaving kinematically like a unit.
- the footrest comprises a base part 19 which is pivotable about an axis 25 relative to the frame 17. Relative to the base part 19, an extension 21 is slidably mounted. The extension 21 can retracted or retracted and extended or withdrawn. For the guide between base 19 and extension 21 a so-called full extension is provided.
- a head portion comprises, from which in Fig. 1 in the middle right representation of two support members 61, 63 and in the illustration above it further, not shown here components are shown.
- An electric motor 27 is connected between the frame 17 and the carrier 29.
- the frame 17 relative to the carrier 29 between the in Fig. 1 shown relaxation position, which corresponds to the unfolded use position of the footrest, and a basic position, not shown here are adjusted.
- the frame 17 with a front pivot lever assembly 31 and a rear pivot lever assembly 33 is coupled to the support member 61.
- the frame 17 is in the in Fig. 1 lowered relaxation position shown in the rear. This is also in Fig. 2 to recognize.
- the adjustment of the frame 17 and thus the seat portion 13 causes the pivoting of the base portion 19 of the footrest, via a pivot mechanism 35.
- the hinged to the support member 61 rear pivot lever assembly 33 actuates a push rod assembly 53 which actuates a pivotally mounted, two-armed lever 55, the in turn actuates an angled pivot lever 56.
- the pivot lever 56 is pivotally connected to a further pivot lever 57, in an area between the articulation of this pivot lever 57 on the support member 63 on the one hand and an articulated connection of this pivot lever 57 with another pivot lever 59 on the other.
- the latter pivoting lever 59 is finally connected in an articulated manner to the base part 19.
- a lever arrangement with two or more parallel individual levers can be provided in each case.
- the adjustment of the frame 17 thus controls the pivotal movement of the base member 19 and thus the footrest as a whole.
- the extension and retraction of the extension 21, however, is derived from the pivotal movement of the base member 19.
- an actuating arrangement 37 is provided. In this regard, the illustrations in Fig. 6 directed.
- the adjusting arrangement 37 comprises an elongated, provided in the form of a rod control member 35 which is articulated on the one hand on the frame 17 and on the other hand connected to a two-armed rotary lever 41 which is part of a Umsetzorgans 47.
- the adjusting axis 39 about which the control rod 45 can pivot relative to the frame 17, is parallel to the pivot axis 25 of the base member 19, but at a distance from this pivot axis 25.
- the control axis 39 is disposed below the pivot axis 25, wherein the two axes 25th , 39 lie in a plane that is approximately vertical.
- the effective length of the control rod 45 is maximum when the base part 19 is parallel to the plane defined by the two axes 25, 39. This is the case in the intermediate position II, when the ground clearance or the clear height between the bottom and front edge of the seat part 13 comes into play. In this intermediate position II is also due to the above-described adjustment of the seat part 13, ie the so-called seat lowering, whose front edge region relative to the basic position I raised ( Fig. 2 ). Since the pivot axis 25 of the base part 19 is located in the region of the front edge of the seat part 13, the ground clearance or the clear height is increased by the seat part adjustment and the seat lowering.
- extension 21 is extended in the basic position I with respect to the intermediate position II about 5 cm far. This is sufficient to disturbing folds of the cover or the padding 23rd when pivoting to the basic position I eliminate, as can be seen from a comparison of Fig. 4 and 5 evident.
- Fig. 4 a drape of the cover or the padding 23 is indicated.
- a manual adjustability may be provided, for example via a mechanism which makes it possible to bring about alone by a shift in weight of a user sitting in the furniture, the explained seat lowering, which then turn automatically leads to swinging or unfolding of the footrest and consequently again automatically causes the extension of the extension 21 relative to the base part 19 of the footrest.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Sitz-/Liegemöbel, insbesondere Sessel oder Stuhl, mit einem Rückenteil, einem Sitzteil und einer verstellbaren Fußstützenanordnung, die zwischen einer eingeklappten Grundstellung unterhalb einer Sitzfläche des Sitzteils und einer ausgeklappten Nutzstellung relativ zum Sitzteil verschwenkbar ist, wobei die Fußstützenanordnung einen Rahmen, der Bestandteil des Sitzteils oder am Sitzteil angebracht ist, und eine relativ zum Rahmen verschwenkbare Fußstütze umfasst.The invention relates to a seat / reclining furniture, in particular armchair or chair, with a back part, a seat part and an adjustable footrest assembly, which is pivotable relative to the seat part between a folded basic position below a seat surface of the seat part and a deployed use position, wherein the footrest assembly comprises a frame , Which is attached to the part of the seat part or the seat part, and comprises a relative to the frame pivotable footrest.
Derartige Möbel sind grundsätzlich bekannt. Beispielsweise geht aus
Die verschwenkbare Fußstütze soll in der ausgeklappten Nutzstellung eine möglichst große, d.h. lange Auflagefläche bereitstellen, damit auch relativ großen Personen eine vollwertige Fußablage zur Verfügung steht. Gleichzeitig soll die Fußstütze in der eingeklappten Grundstellung möglichst kompakt und gut unter dem Sitzteil verstaubar sein.The pivotable footrest should in the unfolded use position as large as possible, i. Provide long contact surface, so that even a relatively large person a full foot rest is available. At the same time, the footrest should be as compact as possible and well stowed under the seat part in the retracted basic position.
Problematisch ist hierbei insbesondere die relativ geringe Bodenfreiheit, also die lichte Höhe zwischen dem Boden, auf welchem das Möbel steht, und der Unterseite des Sitzteils im Bereich der Vorderkante des Sitzteils. Die gewünschte Nutzlänge der Fußstütze in der ausgeklappten Nutzstellung ist praktisch immer größer als diese lichte Höhe. Es sind deshalb bereits mehrteilige Fußstützen bekannt, die in einem der Grundstellung entsprechenden Zustand, in welchem die Teile der Fußstütze zusammengeschoben, zusammengefaltet, eingefahren oder eingeklappt sind, aus der Grundstellung herausgeschwenkt werden, wobei nach Erreichen der ausgeklappten Nutzstellung die die Fußstütze bildenden Teile wieder auseinandergefahren werden. Dies kann z.B. direkt manuell oder mittelbar über einen Beschlag erfolgen, welcher wiederum entweder manuell oder motorisch betätigbar ist.The problem here is in particular the relatively low ground clearance, ie the clear height between the floor on which the furniture stands, and the underside of the seat part in the region of the front edge of the seat part. The desired useful length of the footrest in the unfolded use position is practically always greater than this clear height. There are therefore already multi-part footrests are known, which in a basic position corresponding state in which the parts of the footrest pushed together, folded, retracted or folded, are pivoted out of the basic position, wherein after reaching the unfolded use position the footrest forming parts are moved apart again. This can for example be done directly manually or indirectly via a fitting, which in turn is either manually or manually operated.
Dieses Verstellen der Fußstütze kann einhergehen mit einer Verstellbewegung des Sitzteils und insbesondere auch des Rückenteils. Es ist nämlich in der Praxis wünschenswert, dass die Fußstütze in einer sogenannten Relax- oder Ruheposition des Möbels ausgeklappt ist, in welcher das Sitzteil im hinteren Bereich abgesenkt ist und somit eine stärker geneigte Sitzfläche zur Verfügung stellt, wobei außerdem in dieser Relax- bzw. Ruheposition die von dem Rückenteil gebildete Rückenlehne ebenfalls stärker geneigt ist als in der Grundstellung des Möbels.This adjustment of the footrest can be accompanied by an adjustment of the seat part and in particular the back part. It is in fact desirable in practice that the footrest is folded out in a so-called relax or rest position of the furniture, in which the seat part is lowered in the rear area and thus provides a more inclined seat surface, wherein also in this relaxation or Rest position the backrest formed by the back part is also more inclined than in the basic position of the furniture.
Bislang werden derartige Fußstützen mit einem separaten Bezug bzw. mit einer separaten Polsterung versehen, der bzw. die mit dem Bezug bzw. der Polsterung des Sitzteils nicht verbunden ist. Auch werden die einzelnen Teile von mehrteiligen Fußstützen separat bezogen bzw. gepolstert. Auf diese Weise ist sichergestellt, dass der Bezug bzw. die Polsterung nicht dadurch beeinträchtigt wird, dass die Fußstütze relativ zu dem Sitzteil verschwenkt wird und zudem bei einer mehrteiligen Fußstütze die einzelnen Teile relativ zueinander bewegt werden. Insbesondere kann es so in der eingeklappten Grundstellung nicht zu einem störenden Faltenwurf des Bezuges bzw. der Polsterung kommen.So far, such footrests are provided with a separate cover or with a separate padding, which is not connected to the cover or the padding of the seat part. Also, the individual parts of multi-part footrests are covered or upholstered separately. In this way it is ensured that the cover or padding is not affected by the fact that the footrest is pivoted relative to the seat part and also in a multi-part footrest, the individual parts are moved relative to each other. In particular, it can not come in the folded-in basic position to a disturbing folds of the cover or the upholstery.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Sitz-/Liegemöbel der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass auch bei vergleichsweise geringer Bodenfreiheit eine Fußstütze mit möglichst großer Auflagefläche bereitgestellt wird, bei der zudem keine Beschränkungen hinsichtlich der weiteren Ausstattung insbesondere hinsichtlich Bezugs- oder Polsterungsmöglichkeiten bestehen.The object of the invention is to develop a sitting / reclining furniture of the type mentioned in that even with relatively low ground clearance a footrest is provided with the largest possible contact surface, in addition, there are no restrictions on the further equipment, especially in terms of cover or upholstery options.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche 1 und 14.The solution of this object is achieved by the features of
Die erfindungsgemäße Fußstütze besitzt in der eingeklappten Grundstellung eine größere Länge als in der Zwischenstellung. Die Erfindung beruht somit auf der Erkenntnis, dass in der eingeklappten Grundstellung die Länge der Fußstütze nicht zwangsläufig minimal sein muss. Vielmehr wurde erkannt, dass gewissermaßen der "Flaschenhals" diejenige Schwenkstellung der Fußstütze ist, in welcher die Fußstütze zumindest im Wesentlichen senkrecht orientiert ist, da in dieser Stellung die am jeweiligen Möbel vorhandene Bodenfreiheit bzw. lichte Höhe zum Tragen kommt.The footrest according to the invention has in the retracted basic position a greater length than in the intermediate position. The invention is thus based on the recognition that in the retracted basic position, the length of the footrest does not necessarily have to be minimal. Rather, it was recognized that, so to speak, the "bottleneck" is that pivotal position of the footrest, in which the footrest is oriented at least substantially vertically, since in this position, the available on the respective furniture ground clearance or clear height comes into play.
Die Erfindung ermöglicht es somit, die Fußstütze während des Ausschwenkens und Einschwenkens derart weit zu verkürzen bzw. zusammenzuziehen oder einzufahren, dass die durch die Bodenfreiheit bzw. die lichte Höhe gegebene "Engstelle" problemlos durchfahren werden kann. Dies wiederum eröffnet die Möglichkeit, die gesamte Fußstütze, gegebenenfalls einschließlich des Sitzteils, mit einem gemeinsamen, durchgehenden Bezug bzw. mit einer gemeinsamen, durchgehenden Polsterung zu versehen. Ein eventuell bei zusammengezogener Fußstütze entstehender Faltenwurf des Bezugs bzw. der Polsterung ist erfindungsgemäß unproblematisch, da dieser Effekt nur vorübergehend während des Ausschwenkens bzw. Einschwenkens auftritt. Während in der ausgeklappten Nutzstellung diese Problematik ohnehin nicht besteht, kann aber durch die Erfindung sichergestellt werden, dass auch in der eingeklappten Grundstellung Faltenwurf oder ähnliche störende Effekte, die aufgrund der erforderlichen Verkürzung der Fußstütze auftreten können, unproblematisch sind. Erfindungsgemäß wird durch die im Vergleich zu der Zwischenstellung größere Länge der Fußstütze in der Grundstellung eine Straffung oder Glättung des Bezuges bzw. der Polsterung erreicht.The invention thus makes it possible to shorten or contract or retract the footrest during pivoting and pivoting so far that given by the ground clearance or the clear height "bottleneck" can be easily passed through. This in turn opens the possibility to provide the entire footrest, optionally including the seat part, with a common, continuous cover or with a common, continuous padding. A possibly resulting in contracted footrest drapery of the cover or upholstery is inventively unproblematic, since this effect occurs only temporarily during the swinging or pivoting. While in the unfolded use position this problem does not exist anyway, but can be ensured by the invention that even in the retracted basic position drapery or similar disturbing effects that may occur due to the required shortening of the footrest, are not a problem. According to the invention, a tightening or smoothing of the cover or upholstery is achieved by the greater length of the footrest in the basic position compared to the intermediate position.
Die Erfindung ermöglicht folglich auch bei mehrteiligen Fußstützen mit ausfahrbarer und einfahrbarer Verlängerung einen durchgehenden Bezug bzw. eine durchgehende Polsterung selbst dann, wenn die Fußstütze in der ausgeklappten Nutzstellung eine vergleichsweise große Nutzlänge aufweist, wie es zunehmend von den Kunden erwartet wird, und wenn die Fußstütze aufgrund einer relativ geringen Bodenfreiheit bzw. lichten Höhe vergleichsweise stark verkürzt werden muss, um ausgeklappt und eingeklappt werden zu können.The invention thus also allows for multi-part footrests with retractable and retractable extension a continuous cover or a continuous upholstery even if the footrest in the unfolded use position has a comparatively long effective length, as it increasingly from the customer is expected, and if the footrest due to a relatively low ground clearance or clear height must be comparatively shortened to be unfolded and folded.

Die Fußstütze umfasst ein Basisteil 19, das um eine Achse 25 relativ zum Rahmen 17 verschwenkbar ist. Relativ zum Basisteil 19 ist eine Verlängerung 21 verschiebbar gelagert. Die Verlängerung 21 kann eingefahren bzw. eingezogen und ausgefahren bzw. ausgezogen werden. Für die Führung zwischen Basisteil 19 und Verlängerung 21 ist ein sogenannter Vollauszug vorgesehen.The footrest comprises a

Ein Elektromotor 27 ist zwischen den Rahmen 17 und den Träger 29 geschaltet. Mittels des Motors 27 kann der Rahmen 17 relativ zum Träger 29 zwischen der in
Das Verstellen des Rahmens 17 und somit des Sitzteils 13 bewirkt das Verschwenken des Basisteils 19 der Fußstütze, und zwar über einen Schwenkmechanismus 35. Die am Tragteil 61 angelenkte hintere Schwenkhebelanordnung 33 betätigt eine Schubstangenanordnung 53, die einen schwenkbar gelagerten, zweiarmigen Umlenkhebel 55 betätigt, der wiederum einen abgewinkelten Schwenkhebel 56 betätigt. Der Schwenkhebel 56 ist mit einem weiteren Schwenkhebel 57 gelenkig verbunden, und zwar in einem Bereich zwischen der Anlenkung dieses Schwenkhebels 57 am Tragteil 63 einerseits und einer gelenkigen Verbindung dieses Schwenkhebels 57 mit einem weiteren Schwenkhebel 59 andererseits. Letztgenannter Schwenkhebel 59 wiederum ist schließlich mit dem Basisteil 19 gelenkig verbunden. Anstelle eines einzigen Hebels kann jeweils eine Hebelanordnung mit zwei oder mehr parallel wirksamen Einzelhebeln vorgesehen sein.The adjustment of the
Die Verstellung des Rahmens 17 steuert somit die Schwenkbewegung des Basisteils 19 und damit der Fußstütze insgesamt. Das Ausfahren und Einfahren der Verlängerung 21 dagegen wird von der Schwenkbewegung des Basisteils 19 abgeleitet. Hierzu ist eine Stellanordnung 37 vorgesehen. Diesbezüglich wird auch auf die Darstellungen in
Die Stellanordnung 37 umfasst ein langgestrecktes, in Form einer Stange vorgesehenes Steuerorgan 35, das einerseits am Rahmen 17 angelenkt ist und andererseits mit einem zweiarmigen Drehhebel 41 verbunden ist, der Bestandteil eines Umsetzorgans 47 ist.The adjusting
Die Stellachse 39, um welche die Steuerstange 45 relativ zum Rahmen 17 verschwenken kann, verläuft parallel zur Schwenkachse 25 des Basisteils 19, dabei aber mit einem Abstand zu dieser Schwenkachse 25. Die Stellachse 39 ist unterhalb der Schwenkachse 25 angeordnet, wobei die beiden Achsen 25, 39 in einer Ebene liegen, die näherungsweise vertikal verläuft.The adjusting
Diese Ausgestaltung hat zur Folge, dass die wirksame Länge der Steuerstange 45 während der Schwenkbewegung des Basisteils 19 zwischen der eingeklappten Grundstellung I und der ausgeklappten Nutzstellung III variiert, d.h. die Verbindungsstelle zwischen der Steuerstange 45 und dem zweiarmigen Drehhebel 41 ist in Abhängigkeit von der Winkelstellung des Basisteils 19 mehr oder weniger weit von der Schwenkachse 25 des Basisteils 19 entfernt. Folglich ist auch die Stellung des Drehhebels 41 von der Schwenkstellung des Basisteils 19 abhängig. Der Drehhebel 41 ist um eine Drehachse 43 drehbar am Basisteil 19 gelagert, wobei die Drehachse 43 senkrecht zur Schwenkachse 25 und senkrecht zur vom Basisteil 19 definierten Auflagefläche verläuft.This configuration has the consequence that the effective length of the
Aufgrund der relativen Anordnung der Schwenkachse 25 und der Stellachse 39 ist die wirksame Länge der Steuerstange 45 maximal, wenn das Basisteil 19 parallel zu der von den beiden Achsen 25, 39 definierten Ebene verläuft. Dies ist in der Zwischenstellung II der Fall, wenn die Bodenfreiheit bzw. die lichte Höhe zwischen Boden und Vorderkante des Sitzteils 13 zum Tragen kommt. In dieser Zwischenstellung II ist zudem aufgrund der vorstehend erläuterten Verstellung des Sitzteils 13, d.h. der sogenannten Sitzabsenkung, dessen vorderer Randbereich gegenüber der Grundstellung I angehoben (
Wenn das Basisteil 19 gegenüber der erläuterten Zwischenstellung II weiter eingeklappt oder weiter ausgeklappt wird, verringert sich jeweils die wirksame Länge der Steuerstange 45. Dies bedeutet, dass sowohl in der eingeklappten Grundstellung I als auch in der ausgeklappten Nutzstellung III der Drehhebel 41 mittels der Steuerstange 45 aus der Extremstellung II herausgeschwenkt ist - in der oberen Darstellung der
Mittels des Steuerorgans 45 und des im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel von dem Drehhebel 41 und dem weiteren Hebel 49 gebildeten Umsetzorgans 47 wird folglich die Schwenkbewegung des Basisteils 19 in die Schiebebewegung der Verlängerung 21 relativ zum Basisteil 19 umgesetzt.By means of the
Während in dem erläuterten Ausführungsbeispiel die Verstellung des Sitzteils 13 mittels des Motors 27 erfolgt, kann alternativ auch eine manuelle Verstellbarkeit vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise über einen Mechanismus, der es ermöglicht, alleine durch eine Gewichtsverlagerung eines in dem Möbel sitzenden Benutzers die erläuterte Sitzabsenkung herbeizuführen, was dann wiederum automatisch zum Ausschwenken oder Ausklappen der Fußstütze führt und folglich wiederum automatisch das Ausfahren der Verlängerung 21 relativ zum Basisteil 19 der Fußstütze bewirkt.While in the illustrated embodiment, the adjustment of the
