Definitions

  • the invention relates to an orthopedic multi-purpose piece of furniture with a central part with a seat, with a backrest and with two side rests.
  • recliners are known on which a relaxing lying position, e.g. B. can be taken with the foot high.
  • a disadvantage of the known furniture of this type is that it is only for them intended purpose can be used and that they act as foreign bodies in representative living or office spaces.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide an orthopedic multipurpose furniture taking anatomical and physiological considerations into account, which on the one hand enables different relaxing lying positions to be taken and which on the other hand can be used as an armchair in a normal sitting position without the need for a laborious conversion.
  • the orthopedic furniture should achieve a representative aesthetic effect through a shapely design, which makes it possible to set up the furniture in a living room or office space, even in the higher equipment class, without causing the disruptive impression of a medical device.
  • the lateral backrests are formed together with the seat surface to provide a lying surface which is designed and dimensioned according to orthopedic aspects and runs transversely to the direction of the seat.
  • the piece of furniture can be used both as normal seating furniture and for taking a relaxing lying position without having to be converted.
  • the design of the same gives an aesthetic, homely impression, so that its placement in a living room or office does not give the impression of a therapeutic or medical device.
  • the first side backrest increases a shorter, outwardly bent, substantially horizontal or slightly inclined, with respect to the seat surface Has backrest section, the length of which corresponds approximately to the length of a human lower leg, that the second side backrest has a longer, obliquely bent upward and outward backrest section, the length from the seat to the outer end of this backrest section approximately the length of a human torso Head and at the same time corresponds approximately to the length of a human leg minus foot, and that the width of the seat surface or length of the lying surface between the lateral backrests corresponds approximately to the length of a human torso.
  • This ergonomic design enables two particularly advantageous relaxing lying positions on the furniture according to the invention.
  • the trunk rests essentially horizontally on the seat surface, while the legs rest against the second side backrest, pointing obliquely upwards.
  • the head rests slightly raised and well supported on the beginning of the raised section of the first side backrest.
  • the spine is completely relieved, the muscles of the trunk and lower extremities are relaxed and the decongesting of the lower extremities is promoted.
  • the furniture In addition to these reclining postures, the furniture also enables a comfortable upright seat, with the sitting direction on the one hand and the reclining directions on the other hand running transversely to one another.
  • the furniture according to the invention offers three fundamentally different, each orthopedically advantageous and correspondingly effective posture of the user, while furniture according to the prior art only one or allow a maximum of two postures.
  • the second backrest with the longer back section has a lumbar bulge in its kink area.
  • the first side backrest with the shorter backrest section is designed to be more flexible in the central part of its buckling area than at the ends of the buckling area. This ensures a cheap, not too high and not too hard support of the back of the head and neck area of the furniture user in the lying position described above as the second.
  • the side backrests each consist of a rigidly connected to the central part, essentially vertically extending rigid backrest part and a relative to this around a horizontal, in upper part of the rigid backrest part extending axis pivotable and lockable in different positions backrest part are formed.
  • the pivotable backrest parts can each be pivoted into a position in which they run parallel to the rigid backrest parts in contact with their outside.
  • the furniture can be given an external appearance that knows that of conventional armchairs corresponds to test.
  • the orthopedic multi-purpose furniture in combination with other pieces of furniture does not represent a change in style, but can be inserted harmoniously.
  • the lumbar bulge can be produced by pivoting the longer pivotable backrest part in its obliquely upward and outward position.
  • the lumbar bulge is therefore only generated when it is needed, i.e. H. if the backrest in question is pivoted in the lying position.
  • the orthopedic multi-purpose piece of furniture according to the invention can also be designed such that the middle part and the backrests are designed as separate pieces of furniture to be connected to one another by means of releasable connecting means.
  • the first exemplary embodiment of the orthopedic multipurpose furniture 1 shown here essentially consists of a central part 2 with a seat surface 21, two lateral backrests 3 and 4 and a backrest 5.
  • Both backrests 3 and 4 each have one the rigid, substantially vertical backrest part 31 or 41 connected to the middle part 2, to which, in the upper part thereof, a backrest part 32 or 42 which is bent in relation thereto is connected.
  • the bent backrest parts 32 and 42 can each be given away about a pivot axis 35 or 45 extending in the respective buckling area 34 or 44 relative to the rigid backrest part 31 or 41 and can be locked in different positions .
  • FIG. 1 In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG.
  • the pivotable backrest part 32 of the first backrest 3 (on the left in the illustration) assumes an approximately horizontal position, so that there is also a backrest section 33 which also runs horizontally and is slightly raised relative to the seat surface 21.
  • the pivotable backrest part 42 extends obliquely upwards and outwards, so that relative to the seat surface 21 extends obliquely upwards and outwards running back section 43 results.
  • the kink area 44 of the backrest 4 on the side facing the first backrest 3, there is a lumbar bulge 44 'to support the lumbar vertebra area of a person lying on the furniture, as will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.
  • the backrest parts 32 and 42 Due to the pivotability of the backrest parts 32 and 42, these can be pivoted downwards so far that they are on the outside 31 'or. 41 'of the rigid backrest parts 31 and 41 come to rest. Since the pivotable part 32 of the first backrest 3 is shorter than the pivotable part 42 of the second backrest 4, a supplementary piece 36 is attached to the outside of the rigid part 31 of the first backrest 3, which visually closes the shorter pivotable backrest part 32 in its folded-down position the length of the folded down longer pivotable backrest part 42, as will be described with reference to FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 2 of the drawing shows the furniture 1 from FIG. 1 in a frontal view with a person 6 resting thereon in a first lying position.
  • the trunk 62 and the head 61 of the person 6 rest on the second backrest 4, more precisely on its pivotable part 42 and the lumbar bulge 44 '.
  • the legs 63 of the person 6 are very slightly angled and the lower legs 64 lie on the backrest section 33 of the pivotable backrest part 34 of the first backrest 3 under a slight high position. In this position, the feet 65 project freely over the end of the pivotable backrest part 32.
  • the meaning of the further reference numbers in FIG. 2 can be seen from the description of FIG. 1.
  • Figure 3 shows the multi-purpose furniture 1 from Figure 2 also with a person 6, but here takes a second lying position.
  • the trunk is at rest 62 of the person 6 in a substantially horizontal position on the seat surface 21 of the middle part 2 of the furniture 1.
  • the entire length of the legs 63 rests on the backrest section 43 of the backrest part 42 which runs obliquely upwards.
  • the feet 65 again project freely over the end of the backrest part 42.
  • the head 61 of the person 6 rests on the center 34 'of the articulated area 34 of the first backrest 3.
  • the center 34' of the articulated area 34 is preferably designed to be more flexible than the ends of the articulated area.
  • the other reference numbers in FIG. 3 correspond to those in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 shows the first exemplary embodiment of the multipurpose orthopedic furniture 1 according to the invention in its state as an armchair.
  • the two pivotable backrest parts 32 and 42 of the backrests 3 and 4 are pivoted so far down that they rest on the outer sides 31 'and 41' of the rigid backrest parts 31 and 41 of the two backrests 3 and 4.
  • the already mentioned supplementary piece 36 on the side of the backrest 3 results in a completely symmetrical external appearance of the furniture 1, so that it can hardly be distinguished from a conventional seating furniture.
  • a front panel of the backrests makes the subdivision disappear completely optically on request. Even the external dimensions of the objects do not differ from those of a comfortable armchair at around 110 - 120 cm.
  • the furniture 1 is suitable as a conventional armchair for a comfortable, also relaxing, upright sitting position.
  • FIG. 4 For the meaning of the further reference numbers in FIG. 4, reference is made to the description of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 5 A second exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the orthopedic multipurpose furniture 1 ' consists of a total of four separate parts, namely a central part 2 with a seat 21, two lateral backrests 3 and 4 and a backrest 5.
  • the parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 mentioned can be used in various combinations using suitable connecting means the complete piece of furniture 1 'are connected.
  • the orthopedically favorable dimensions are retained.
  • the length of the seat surface 21 between the backrests 3 and 4 is designed in accordance with the length of a human torso.
  • the first backrest 3 has a backrest section 33 which extends with a slight inclination and with an increase relative to the seat surface 21.
  • backrest section 43 which runs obliquely upwards and outwards, in the lower part of which a lumbar bulge 44 'is arranged in the immediate vicinity of the seat surface 21.
  • a backrest section 43 which runs obliquely upwards and outwards, in the lower part of which a lumbar bulge 44 'is arranged in the immediate vicinity of the seat surface 21.
  • the backrest parts 3 and 4 in this exemplary embodiment have cutouts 37 and 47 which are suitable for accommodating magazines, beverage bottles and similar utensils. Furthermore, a trough-like recess 47 'can be arranged in the upper end region of the backrest 4, which can accommodate, for example, a foldable neck roll (not shown) and hold it ready for use.
  • a third exemplary embodiment of the invention is finally shown in FIG. 6 in the form of the furniture 1 ".
  • the load-bearing structure is formed by a tubular frame 10", which is used to form the middle part 2 with the seat surface 21, the side backrests 3 and 4 and the backrest 5 is spanned.
  • the piece of furniture 1 "again has a back section 33 of the first back 3 that is higher than the seat surface 21, and a back section 43 of the second back 4 that runs obliquely upwards and outwards.
