Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Nestschaukel mit einem Rahmen und einer als Nest dienenden Trageinrichtung, die am Rahmen angeordnet ist und eine Auflagerfläche bereitstellt, wobei der Rahmen zwei Rahmenabschnitte aufweist, die relativ zueinander verschwenkbar angeordnet und unter Zwischenordnung einer Gelenkeinrichtung miteinander gekoppelt sind, wobei die Rahmenabschnitte und die Trageinrichtung durch ein relatives Verschwenken der Rahmenabschnitte zueinander aus einer ersten Gebrauchsstellung in eine zweite Gebrauchsstellung und umgekehrt überführbar sind, wobei die Rahmenabschnitte jeweils U-förmig ausgebildet sind und jeweils zwei U-Schenkel und einen die jeweiligen U-Schenkel miteinander verbindenden Basisschenkel aufweisen, wobei die den jeweiligen Basisschenkeln gegenüberliegenden offenen Seiten der Rahmenabschnitte einander zugewandt sind.The invention relates to a nest swing with a frame and a supporting device serving as a nest, which is arranged on the frame and provides a support surface, the frame having two frame sections which are arranged pivotably relative to one another and are coupled to one another with the interposition of a hinge device, the frame sections and the support device can be transferred from a first position of use to a second position of use and vice versa by pivoting the frame sections relative to one another, the frame sections each being U-shaped and each having two U-legs and a base leg connecting the respective U-legs to one another, wherein the open sides of the frame sections opposite the respective base legs face each other.

Nestschaukeln als solche sind aus dem Stand der Technik an sich bekannt, so zum Beispiel aus der DE 20 2013 006 599 U1 .Nest swings as such are known per se from the prior art, for example from DE 20 2013 006 599 U1 ,

Die aus der DE 20 2013 006 599 U1 vorbekannte Nestschaukel verfügt über einen kreisförmig ausgebildeten Rahmen aus Metallrohr. Der Rahmen weist vier teilkreisförmig ausgebildete Rahmensegmente auf, die im endmontierten Zustand der Nestschaukel miteinander verschraubt sind. Es kommen zu diesem Zweck Schrauben zum Einsatz, die jeweils kopfseitig eine Öse aufweisen. Im endmontierten Zustand ist in jede Schraubenöse jeweils ein Achterhaken einendseitig eingeklinkt, der anderendseitig in eine jeweilige Schlaufe eines Gurtbandes eingehakt ist. Die Schrauben dienen mithin nicht nur der Verbindung der Rahmensegmente, sie stellen zudem die Ankerpunkte zur jeweiligen Anordnung eines Gurtbandes am Rahmen bereit. Dabei dienen die Gurtbänder als Aufhängevorrichtung zur hängenden Anordnung des Rahmens an einer Stützeinrichtung, beispielsweise an einem Schaukelgestell.The one from the DE 20 2013 006 599 U1 Previously known nest swing has a circular frame made of metal tube. The frame has four partially circular frame segments that are screwed together in the final assembled state of the nest swing. For this purpose, screws are used, each of which has an eyelet on the head side. In the final assembled state, a figure-eight hook is latched into one end of each screw eyelet, which is hooked into a loop of a belt strap on the other side. The screws therefore not only serve to connect the frame segments, they also provide the anchor points for the respective arrangement of a webbing on the frame. The straps serve as a hanging device for hanging the frame on a support device, for example on a swing frame.

Die vorbekannte Nestschaukel verfügt des Weiteren über eine Trageinrichtung, die am Rahmen angeordnet ist. Diese ist als großmaschige Seilkonstruktion ausgebildet und dient als eigentliches Nest, das zur Aufnahme beispielsweise einer Person im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall oberseitig eine Auflagerfläche bereitstellt.The known nest swing also has a support device which is arranged on the frame. This is designed as a large-mesh rope construction and serves as the actual nest, which provides a support surface on the top for receiving, for example, a person in the intended use.

Aus der US 4,693,512 A ist eine zusammenklappbare Kinderschaukel bekannt. Diese verfügt über zwei gelenkig miteinander gekoppelte U-förmig ausgebildete Rahmenabschnitte, an denen eine Trageinrichtung beispielsweise aus einem Gewebematerial angeordnet ist. Die beiden Rahmenabschnitte sind um eine gemeinsame Schwenkachse relativ zueinander verschwenkbar ausgebildet und können aus einer Transportstellung in eine Gebrauchsstellung und umgekehrt überführt werden. Der eine der beiden Rahmenabschnitte ist mit einem weiteren Rahmenabschnitt gekoppelt, welcher weitere Rahmenabschnitt als Aufhängeabschnitt dient und an dem Ketten zur hängenden Anordnung der Kinderschaukel angreifen.From the US 4,693,512 A a collapsible children's swing is known. This has two articulated U-shaped frame sections on which a support device, for example made of a fabric material, is arranged. The two frame sections are designed to be pivotable relative to one another about a common pivot axis and can be transferred from a transport position into a use position and vice versa. One of the two frame sections is coupled to a further frame section, which further frame section serves as a suspension section and which engage the chains for hanging the child's swing.

Nestschaukeln der vorbeschriebenen Art haben sich im alltäglichen Praxiseinsatz bewährt. Es besteht gleichwohl der Wunsch einer Weiterentwicklung dahingehend, dass konstruktiv bedingt ein breiterer Anwendungsbereich gegeben ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine gattungsgemäße Nestschaukel dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln, dass sie in einem verbreiterten Anwendungsbereich einsetzbar ist.Nest swings of the type described above have proven themselves in everyday practice. Nevertheless, there is a desire for further development in such a way that there is a wider range of applications due to the design. Against this background, it is the object of the invention to further develop a generic nest swing such that it can be used in a wider range of applications.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird mit der Erfindung eine gattungsgemäße Nestschaukel vorgeschlagen, die sich auszeichnet durch eine Aufhängeeinrichtung zur hängenden Anordnung des Rahmens an einer Stützeinrichtung, wobei die Aufhängeeinrichtung je U-Schenkel der Rahmenabschnitte ein jeweils daran angeordnetes Band aufweist, wobei die beiden Bänder eines Rahmenabschnitts gleichlang ausgebildet sind und wobei die Bänder der jeweiligen einander gegenüberliegenden U-Schenkel der beiden Rahmenabschnitte rahmenabschnittentfernt an einem gemeinsamen, in der Länge stufenlos verstellbaren Tragband angeordnet sind.To solve this problem, a generic nest swing is proposed with the invention, which is characterized by a suspension device for hanging the frame on a support device, the suspension device has a strap arranged on each U-leg of the frame sections, the two straps of a frame section are of equal length and the straps of the respective opposing U-legs of the two frame sections are arranged on a common support strap which is infinitely adjustable in length.

Der Rahmen der erfindungsgemäßen Nestschaukel weist zwei Rahmenabschnitte auf. Im endmontierten Zustand der Nestschaukel sind diese beiden Rahmenabschnitte relativ zueinander verschwenkbar angeordnet. Dies gestattet es im Verwendungsfall, die relative Ausrichtung der beiden Rahmenabschnitte zueinander wahlweise verwenderseitig verändern zu können.The frame of the nest swing according to the invention has two frame sections. In the final assembled state of the nest swing, these two frame sections are arranged pivotable relative to one another. In the case of use, this allows the relative orientation of the two frame sections to one another to be changed optionally by the user.

Zur verschwenkbaren Anordnung der beiden Rahmenabschnitte ist eine Gelenkeinrichtung vorgesehen. Diese Gelenkeinrichtung verbindet die beiden Rahmenabschnitte miteinander, so dass die Rahmenabschnitte unter Zwischenordnung der Gelenkeinrichtung miteinander gekoppelt sind.An articulated device is provided for the pivotable arrangement of the two frame sections. This joint device connects the two frame sections to one another, so that the frame sections are interposed Joint device are coupled together.

Durch ein relatives Verschwenken der beiden Rahmenabschnitte zueinander können die Rahmenabschnitte und die am Rahmen angeordnete Trageinrichtung aus einer ersten Gebrauchsstellung in eine zweite Gebrauchsstellung und umgekehrt überführt werden.By pivoting the two frame sections relative to one another, the frame sections and the support device arranged on the frame can be transferred from a first use position into a second use position and vice versa.

Im Unterschied zur vorbekannten Nestschaukel ist der Rahmen der erfindungsgemäßen Nestschaukel nicht starr ausgebildet, sondern verfügt über Abschnitte, die relativ zueinander verschwenkt werden können. Es ist so in vorteilhafter Weise gestattet, dass die Rahmenabschnitte unterschiedliche Gebrauchsstellungen einnehmen können. Es ist in diesem Zusammenhang bevorzugt, dass die Rahmenabschnitte eine erste Gebrauchsstellung einnehmen können, in der die von der Trageinrichtung bereitgestellte Auflagerfläche als Liegefläche für einen Verwender dient. In einer von der ersten Gebrauchsstellung zu unterscheidenden zweiten Gebrauchsstellung sind die Rahmenabschnitte derart in Relation zueinander ausgerichtet, dass die von der Trageinrichtung bereitgestellte Auflagerfläche einem Verwender als Sitz- und Rückfläche dient.In contrast to the previously known nest swing, the frame of the nest swing according to the invention is not rigid, but rather has sections which can be pivoted relative to one another. It is thus advantageously permitted that the frame sections can assume different positions of use. In this context, it is preferred that the frame sections can assume a first position of use, in which the support surface provided by the support device serves as a lying surface for a user. In a second use position to be distinguished from the first use position, the frame sections are aligned in relation to one another in such a way that the support surface provided by the support device serves as a seat and back surface for a user.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verschwenkbarkeit der beiden Rahmenabschnitte gestattet es mithin, die Nestschaukel wahlweise in herkömmlicher Weise oder als Sitzschaukel zu verwenden. Damit ist die erfindungsgemäße Nestschaukel für einen breiteren Anwendungsbereich verwenderseitig nutzbar.The pivotability of the two frame sections according to the invention thus allows the nest swing to be used either in a conventional manner or as a seat swing. The nest swing according to the invention can thus be used by the user for a wider range of applications.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verschwenkbarkeit der beiden Rahmenabschnitte ermöglicht es zudem, die Nestschaukel in die sog. geschlossene Null-Stellung zu bringen. In dieser Stellung der Nestschaukel sind die Rahmenabschnitte aufeinander aufliegend relativ zueinander verschwenkt, schießen also einen Winkel von 0° ein. In dieser relativen Ausrichtung der Rahmenabschnitte zueinander ist eine platzsparende Anordnung der Rahmenabschnitte erreicht, was es insbesondere gestattet, die Nestschaukel im Nichtverwendungsfall einfacher zu handhaben und zu lagern, beispielsweise in einem Schrank, einem Regal und/oder einem ähnlichen Aufbewahrungsort.The pivotability of the two frame sections according to the invention also makes it possible to bring the nest swing into the so-called closed zero position. In this position of the nest swing, the frame sections are pivoted relative to each other so that they lie on one another, thus forming an angle of 0 °. In this relative alignment of the frame sections to one another, a space-saving arrangement of the frame sections is achieved, which in particular allows the nest swing to be handled and stored more easily when not in use, for example in a cupboard, a shelf and / or a similar storage location.

Der Rahmen der Nestschaukel ist von der Kreisform abweichend ausgebildet, beispielsweise rechteckig. Die rechteckförmige Ausgestaltung des Rahmens unterstützt die Funktionalität der erfindungsgemäßen Nestschaukel, in einer ersten Gebrauchsstellung als Liegemöbel und in einer zweiten Gebrauchsstellung als Sitzmöbel verwendet werden zu können.The frame of the nest swing deviates from the circular shape, for example rectangular. The rectangular shape of the frame supports the functionality of the nest swing according to the invention to be able to be used as reclining furniture in a first use position and as seating furniture in a second use position.

Die Rahmenabschnitte des Rahmens sind erfindungsgemäß jeweils U-förmig ausgebildet. Ein jeder Rahmenabschnitt weist zu diesem Zweck zwei U-Schenkel und einen die U-Schenkel miteinander verbindenden Basisschenkel auf. Im endmontierten Zustand sind die den jeweiligen Basisschenkeln gegenüberliegenden offenen Seiten der Rahmenabschnitte einander zugewandt. Es ist so eine vergleichsweise einfache Konstruktion geschaffen, die insbesondere leicht zu montieren ist.According to the invention, the frame sections of the frame are each U-shaped. For this purpose, each frame section has two U-legs and a base leg connecting the U-legs to one another. In the final assembled state, the open sides of the frame sections opposite the respective base legs face one another. A comparatively simple construction is thus created which is particularly easy to assemble.

Die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Gelenkeinrichtung verfügt gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung über zwei Gelenke. Dabei sind die jeweiligen einander gegenüberliegenden U-Schenkel der beiden Rahmenabschnitte unter jeweiliger Zwischenordnung jeweils eines Gelenks miteinander verschwenkbar gekoppelt. Es ist so eine in Längsrichtung der U-Schenkel der Rahmenabschnitte achssymmetrische Ausgestaltung geschaffen, was eine optimierte Kraftverteilung im Belastungsfall mit dem Vorteil einer wünschenswerterweise zu erreichenden Produktlanglebigkeit erbringt.According to a further feature of the invention, the joint device provided according to the invention has two joints. The respective opposing U-legs of the two frame sections are pivotally coupled to one another with the respective interposition of a joint. In this way, an axially symmetrical configuration is created in the longitudinal direction of the U-legs of the frame sections, which results in an optimized distribution of force in the event of a load with the advantage of a product longevity that can be desirably achieved.

Es ist gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die von den beiden Gelenken jeweils bereitgestellten Gelenkachsen auf einer gemeinsamen Verschwenkachse liegen. Die Basisschenkel der beiden Rahmenabschnitte sind mithin immer parallel zueinander verlaufend ausgerichtet. Eine einfache Verwenderhandhabung ist damit in vorteilhafter Weise sichergestellt.According to a further feature of the invention, it is provided that the joint axes provided by the two joints lie on a common pivot axis. The base legs of the two frame sections are therefore always aligned parallel to one another. Simple user handling is thus advantageously ensured.

Die erfindungsgemäße Nestschaukel ist gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal durch eine Rasteinrichtung gekennzeichnet. Die Rasteinrichtung sichert die Rahmenabschnitte in ihrer jeweiligen Verschwenkstellung zueinander. Damit ist sichergestellt, dass es nicht zu einer ungewollten Verschwenkbewegung der beiden Rahmenabschnitte relativ zueinander kommt. Eine unerwünschte Überführung der Rahmenabschnitte aus einer ersten Gebrauchsstellung in eine zweite Gebrauchsstellung ist infolge einer Verrastung der beiden Rahmenabschnitte in ihrer jeweiligen Verschwenkstellung sicher ausgeschlossen. Für ein bestimmungsgemäßes Verschwenken der beiden Rahmenabschnitte relativ zueinander ist die Rasteinrichtung verwenderseitig zu lösen. Nur in der gelösten Stellung der Rasteinrichtung ist ein bestimmungsgemäßes Verschwenken der beiden Rahmenabschnitte relativ zueinander gestattet. Dabei kann aus Sicherheitsgründen vorgesehen sein, dass nur eine Zweihandbedienung der Rasteinrichtung ein Lösen ermöglicht.According to a further feature, the nest swing according to the invention is characterized by a latching device. The latching device secures the frame sections to one another in their respective pivoted position. This ensures that there is no unwanted pivoting movement of the two frame sections relative to one another. An undesired transfer of the frame sections from a first position of use into a second position of use is reliably ruled out due to a latching of the two frame sections in their respective pivoted position. The user must release the latching device for the intended pivoting of the two frame sections relative to one another. Only in the released position the latching device allows the two frame sections to pivot relative to one another as intended. For safety reasons, it can be provided that only two-hand operation of the latching device enables it to be released.

Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass jedes Gelenk der Gelenkeinrichtung eine jeweilige Rasteinrichtung aufweist. Durch diese konstruktive Maßnahme wird die Sicherheit noch einmal erhöht. Denn für ein Verschwenken der beiden Rahmenabschnitte relativ zueinander ist das Lösen nur einer Rasteinrichtung nicht ausreichend. Es müssen vielmehr beiden Rasteinrichtungen verwenderseitig gelöst werden, was die beiden Gelenke jeweils gangbar macht, so dass alsdann eine bestimmungsgemäße Verschwenkbewegung der beiden Rahmenabschnitte zueinander stattfinden kann.According to a further feature of the invention, it is provided that each joint of the joint device has a respective latching device. This constructive measure increases security once again. Because for a pivoting of the two frame sections relative to one another, releasing only one latching device is not sufficient. Rather, the two latching devices have to be released by the user, which makes the two joints feasible, so that a proper pivoting movement of the two frame sections relative to one another can then take place.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist es ferner bevorzugt, die Rasteinrichtung federgeführt auszubilden, so dass die Rasteinrichtung unter Federvorspannung stehend stets bestrebt ist, in die verrastete Stellung zu verfahren. Um die Rasteinrichtung zu lösen, ist verwenderseitig die Rasteinrichtung entgegen der Federwirkung zu lösen, womit eine Fehlbedienung und/oder ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen der Rasteinrichtung ausgeschlossen ist. Bei der Verwendung von zwei Rasteinrichtungen, das heißt je Gelenk eine Rasteinrichtung, ist dann ein Verschwenken der beiden Rahmenabschnitte relativ zueinander nur dann möglich, wenn beide Rasteinrichtungen verwenderseitig gleichzeitig gelöst werden.In this context, it is further preferred to design the locking device in a spring-guided manner, so that the locking device, under spring preload, always strives to move into the locked position. In order to release the latching device, the latching device must be released by the user against the spring action, which prevents incorrect operation and / or unintentional loosening of the latching device. When using two locking devices, that is, one locking device for each joint, pivoting of the two frame sections relative to one another is only possible if both locking devices are released by the user at the same time.

Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Rahmenabschnitte in eine Vielzahl möglicher Gebrauchsstellungen vorzugsweise stufenlos überführbar sind. Demgemäß können die Rahmenabschnitte in vorteilhafter Weise aus einer Liegeposition stufenlos in eine Sitzposition überführt werden, so dass es möglich ist, Gebrauchsstellungen einzunehmen, die eine halbliegende bzw. eine halbsitzende Ausrichtung ermöglichen.According to a further feature of the invention, it is provided that the frame sections can preferably be continuously converted into a plurality of possible use positions. Accordingly, the frame sections can be transferred from a lying position to a sitting position in an advantageous manner, so that it is possible to assume use positions that enable a half-lying or a half-sitting orientation.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist ferner vorgesehen, dass die Rahmenabschnitte in einer ersten Gebrauchsstellung unter einem eingeschlossenen Winkel von 180° zueinander angeordnet sind. In dieser Stellung der Rahmenabschnitte ist die liegende Ausrichtung erreicht, weshalb die Nestschaukel in dieser Stellung der beiden Rahmenabschnitte als Liegemöbel dient.In this context, it is further provided that the frame sections are arranged at an included angle of 180 ° to one another in a first position of use. The horizontal alignment is in this position of the frame sections reached, which is why the nest swing serves in this position of the two frame sections as reclining furniture.

Die Rahmenabschnitte lassen sich relativ zueinander verschwenken, wobei die Rahmenabschnitte in einer zweiten Gebrauchsstellung unter einem eingeschlossenen Winkel zwischen 20° und 70°, vorzugsweise zwischen 30° und 60°, noch mehr bevorzugt zwischen 40°und 50° zueinander angeordnet sind. In dieser zweiten Gebrauchsstellung dient die Nestschaukel als Sitzmöbel. Dabei bestimmt die Größe des eingeschlossenen Winkels die Stellung des als Rückenteil dienenden Rahmenabschnitts zu dem als Sitzteil dienenden Rahmenabschnitt. Es lässt sich mithin über die Einstellung des eingeschlossenen Winkels die Sitzausrichtung bestimmen, so dass verwenderseitig wahlweise eine gewünschte Komfortstellung eingerichtet werden kann.The frame sections can be pivoted relative to one another, the frame sections being arranged in a second position of use at an included angle between 20 ° and 70 °, preferably between 30 ° and 60 °, even more preferably between 40 ° and 50 °. In this second position of use, the nest swing serves as seating. The size of the included angle determines the position of the frame section serving as the back part relative to the frame section serving as the seat part. It is therefore possible to determine the seat orientation via the setting of the included angle, so that a desired comfort position can optionally be set up by the user.

Die erfindungsgemäße Nestschaukel zeichnet sich des Weiteren durch eine Aufhängeeinrichtung zur hängenden Anordnung des Rahmens an einer Stützeinrichtung, beispielsweise an einem Schaukelgestell aus, wobei die Aufhängeeinrichtung je U-Schenkel der Rahmenabschnitte ein jeweils daran angeordnetes Band aufweist, wobei die beiden Bänder eines Rahmenabschnitts gleich lang ausgebildet sind und wobei die Bänder der jeweiligen einander gegenüberliegenden U-Schenkel der beiden Rahmenabschnitte rahmenabschnittentfernt an einem gemeinsamen, in der Länge stufenlos verstellbaren Tragband angeordnet sind.The nest swing according to the invention is further characterized by a hanging device for hanging the frame on a support device, for example on a swing frame, the hanging device having a strap arranged on each U-leg of the frame sections, the two straps of a frame section being of the same length and the strips of the respective opposing U-legs of the two frame sections are arranged on a common, continuously adjustable in length supporting strap.

Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Trageinrichtung ein textilbasiertes Flächengebilde mit einem textilen Fasermaterial ist. Als textiles Fasermaterial kommt insbesondere ein Gewebe in Betracht, vorzugsweise ein Kunststoffgewebe, das für die Outdoor-Anwendung geeignet ist.According to a further feature of the invention, it is provided that the support device is a textile-based flat structure with a textile fiber material. A fabric, in particular a plastic fabric, which is suitable for outdoor use is particularly suitable as the textile fiber material.

Das textile Fasermaterial hat eine Vorderseite und eine Rückseite, wobei die Vorderseite die Auflagerfläche bereitstellt.The textile fiber material has a front and a back, the front providing the support surface.

Die erfindungsgemäße Nestschaukel zeichnet sich ferner durch Mittel zur Anordnung der Trageinrichtung am Rahmen aus. Dabei sind die Mittel vorzugsweise Schlaufen, durch die hindurch die Schenkel der Rahmenabschnitte jeweils geführt sind. Eine solche Konstruktion ist in einfacher Weise montierbar bzw. insbesondere im Reparaturfall auch auf einfache Weise demontierbar.The nest swing according to the invention is further characterized by means for arranging the support device on the frame. The means are preferably loops through which through the legs of the frame sections are each guided. Such a construction can be assembled in a simple manner or can be dismantled in a simple manner, in particular in the case of repairs.

Bevorzugterweise ist in diesem Zusammenhang vorgesehen, dass die Schlaufen einstückig mit der Trageinrichtung ausgebildet sind. Auch dies vereinfacht eine Montage bzw. Demontage und ermöglicht zudem eine kostengünstige Herstellung.It is preferably provided in this connection that the loops are formed in one piece with the carrying device. This also simplifies assembly and disassembly and also enables inexpensive production.
