With this Gag the slide bearing in the brake bearing block 8 for the slide rail 7 or stronger less tensioned, so that the sliding resistance changes accordingly.
  • the movable component of the furniture element that is, the seat 3 of the Upholstered armchairs, adjust against a preselectable force effect and if appropriate Design of the braking device from slide rail 7 and brake bearing block 8 also fix or lock in certain positions.
  • FIG. 3 now shows a braking device for such a movable component 3 Furniture element in which the brake bearing block 8 two opposite one another Has braking surfaces 10 of the slide rail 7 rolling brake rollers 11.
  • the braking the slide rail 7 with brake rollers 11 has the general part of the description explained advantages compared to braking with flat superimposed Braking surfaces as realized in the prior art. Not just the adjustability of the Braking power is particularly sensitive, but it is also and especially the starting jerk greatly reduced. This means high comfort requirements when using a furniture element met with such a braking device.
  • This braking device can not only be used for seating furniture elements, although they are used there with particular convenience, especially for the seat becomes.
  • Such a braking device can also be used for other moving components of furniture elements, for example for a lounger with a movable head part or use a movable foot section.
  • the embodiment shows that the brake rollers 11, the slide rail 7 between lead oneself.
  • the brake rollers 11 can not only as flat rollers, but for example also as wedge rollers, i.e. with a wedge-shaped or U-shaped circumferential one Groove be executed, which then with a correspondingly shaped slide rail 7 cooperate.
  • the slide rail 7 is U-shaped and the brake rollers 11 are adjustable from the inside to the U-legs.
  • the exemplary embodiment also shows that the brake rollers 11 in the brake bearing block 8 are ball-bearing.
  • a ball bearing of the brake rollers 11 has the advantage of lower Frictional resistance, which leads to an optimization of the start jerk.
  • the brake rollers 11th coated with an elastomer layer or made of elastomer material, especially as Solid rubber rollers are executed.
  • these are elastically deformed in the support area - pressed in - what the rolling resistance of the brake rollers 11 on the slide rail 7 depending on the pressing force increased or decreased. This is a particularly useful, sensitive Setting the braking force effect guaranteed.
  • the brake rollers 11 is adjustable with respect to the slide rail 7.
  • setting device 9 is not shown in dashed lines 9, with which the lower brake roller 11 in the brake bearing block 8 opposite the upper, above the slide rail 7 post brake roller 11 are moved can.
