Definitions

• the present invention relates to seating furniture, in particular an armchair, sofa or the like, according to the preamble of claim 1.
• the pivotable element has legs on which it is supported at its end facing away from the seat.
• the pivotable element is either pivotable about a front foot common to the assigned seat or it is designed as an essentially separate swivel stool.
• the pivotable element which is also provided with at least one foot, is designed as part of a side rest, which is pivoted from its upright position into a horizontal position by pivoting in front of the seat.
• the pivot axis for the cantilever arm on which the pivotable element is held is formed by a footrest of a four-leg furniture frame arranged in the region of the front edge of the seating surface of the seating furniture.
• the pivotable element is rigidly arranged at the free end of the swivel arm.
• the pivotable element in the area of the separate backrest is provided with a U-shaped angled floor support.
• a disadvantage of the known seating furniture is that this change in the possibility of using the seating furniture is accompanied by a type of conversion that is only possible when standing. Because of the separate floor supports of the pivotable element, this can be particularly troublesome when the seating is on a wool carpet or deep-pile flooring. Furthermore, it must come from the
• the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a piece of seating furniture, in particular an armchair, sofa or the like, of the type mentioned at the beginning, in which the pivotable element moves from one to the other in a convenient manner, in particular also while sitting on the seating furniture Position can be moved.
• the features specified in claim 1 are provided in a piece of seating furniture, in particular an armchair, sofa or the like.
• the measures according to the invention ensure that the pivotable element can be freely supported above the floor on which the seating is placed. This enables a very simple and convenient positioning of the pivotable element between one and the other position, which is also possible in particular when sitting. There is therefore no need to make any special modifications.
• the pivoting element which is provided with a side edge parallel to the side edge or front edge of the seating furniture and directly adjoining the relevant seat, is narrow. The displaceability enables the position of the pivotable element to be adapted to the leg length of the user concerned when used as a foot pad. Furthermore, the element must be pivotable by only 90 °.

• the seating 10 shown in the drawing is designed, for example, as a single, two-seat sofa.
• the sofa 10 has a rectangular base frame 11 on which two seat elements 12 and 13 of the same size are fastened next to one another.
• the respective square base areas of the two seat elements 12 and 13 together correspond to the base area of the frame 11.
• a back frame 14 is fastened, on which two equal back elements 15 and 16 are arranged next to one another.
• a single back element can be provided instead of the two back elements.
• the width of the back frame 14 and that of the back elements 15, 16 protrude evenly at both ends of the base frame 11 and the seat elements 12, 13.
