Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sitting and reclining furniture.
  • sofas with side parts which are between a vertical or obliquely upward position and a horizontal or horizontal position back and forth swing.
  • the side panels In the upright position, the side panels form armrests.
  • the side panels In the horizontal or horizontal position, the side panels extend a seating surface to a reclining surface. The sofa is thus usable for sitting and lying down.
  • the side parts are pivotally connected to a seat surface of the chair by means of hinges. They can be pivoted outward to a horizontal position at a height with the seat surface. In the horizontal position, the side parts together with the seat surface form a lying surface. In order to achieve a sufficient length for lying, the side parts are divided into two elements, which are pivotally connected to each other with a hinge and can also be swung to the side to the outside. In the horizontal lying position, the side parts and their elements are based on the ground.
  • the US-A-3,206,775 discloses an astronaut chair with a pivoting backrest and a pivoting footboard.
  • the backrest is rigid in itself, it can be adjusted in different pivoting positions between almost vertical and horizontal lying and engage in the various pivot positions.
  • the foot part is also pivotable and can be latched in different pivot positions.
  • a lockable storage box is pivotally attached to the foot part, which can also be used as a desk pad when the foot part is pivoted upwards, or as a footrest when the foot part is pivoted downwards.
  • the invention has for its object to propose such a sitting and reclining furniture with an extended range of use.
  • the seat and reclining furniture according to the invention has a backrest and a side part with two mutually pivotable elements.
  • the side part can be pivoted not only total compared to the sitting and lying surface, but It is additionally pivotable in itself.
  • three positions of the side part are possible: Firstly, the side part can be adjusted horizontally, thereby extending the seating surface of the sitting and lying furniture to a lying surface.
  • an end element of the side part can pivot obliquely or vertically upwards and thereby forms an armrest of the sitting and lying furniture, the sitting and reclining furniture forms in this position of the side part, for example, a sofa.
  • the side panel as a whole can pivot in an obliquely upward position, it forms a backrest for an elongated sitting on the seat and reclining furniture stretched out with the legs on the seat.
  • the seating and reclining furniture according to the invention forms, for example, a chaise longue or a longchair.
  • a pivotable side part is preferably provided, but this is not mandatory.
  • the invention has the advantage that the possible uses of the sitting and lying furniture are extended in a simple manner.
  • a further development of the invention provides that the sitting and lying surface, including the side parts pivotally attached thereto, are mounted displaceably on a frame in the lateral direction. Due to this displaceability, the seat and lying surface can be moved in any position of the side parts so that the sitting and lying surface is located approximately in the middle of the frame.
  • the displacement is advantageous on the one hand for aesthetic and symmetry reasons, because it would look unfavorable, for example, when in total pivoted upwards as the backrest side frame the frame of the sitting and lying furniture on the side of the upwardly pivoted side part and survive on the other side of the Sitting and lying area over the frame would survive.
  • this embodiment of the invention has the advantage that the risk of tilting the seat and reclining furniture under load at one end of the sitting and lying surface is at least reduced because a supernatant of the sitting and lying surface is reduced over the frame by the displaceability.
  • a development of the invention provides for a backrest of the sitting and lying furniture between a preferably obliquely upstanding and a horizontal or horizontal position back and forth form swivel.
  • the backrest In the standing position, the backrest is used for leaning, in the lying position it enlarges a lying surface of the sitting and lying furniture in a depth direction. If the lying surface can be extended through the side part or parts, it can be widened by the pivoting backrest.
  • FIGS. 1a to 1c illustrated, seating and reclining furniture according to the invention can be referred to as a so-called.
  • Sofa bed 10 It has a tubular steel frame 12, on which a sitting and lying surface 14 is arranged.
  • the sitting and lying surface 14 has a multi-part steel frame 16, which is enclosed by a padding 18.
  • a backrest 20 is arranged, which with swivel fittings 22 (see. FIG. 2 ) is attached to the frame 12.
  • the backrest 20 is pivotable back and forth between an obliquely upright leaning position and a horizontal lying position.
  • the standing leaning position is in FIG. 2 shown by solid lines.
  • the backrest 20 serves for leaning on a back of a person sitting on the sofa 10.
  • the recumbent position of the backrest 20 is in FIG. 2 indicated by dashed lines. In this position increases the backrest 20, the sitting and lying surface 14 in a depth direction of the sofa.
  • the backrest 20 is locked with a detent fitting, not shown. Such locking fittings are known in the art and should not be explained at this point.
  • the backrest 20 is in FIGS. 1a to 1c indicated in their standing position with thin lines.
  • the sitting and lying surface 14 has at its two lateral ends side parts 24, 26 on the pivoting and locking fittings 28 from a horizontal or horizontal, the seat and bed surface 14 extending, in FIG. 1a shown position by an angle of, for example, about 60 ° to 6 above are pivotally.
  • Such pivoting and locking fittings are known to those skilled in the art and, since they do not form the actual subject of the invention, are not explained in detail at this point.
  • Right side part 26 shown comprises two elements 30, 32 which are pivotally connected to each other with a further, same pivot and locking fitting 28. The side part 26 is thereby pivotally in itself.
  • FIGS. 1a to 1c Left side panel 24 shown can be, as in FIG. 1b shown, pivot in an inclined from the sitting and lying surface 14 upright position in which the side part 24 forms an armrest.
  • an outer or end element 32 of the in FIGS. 1a to c Right side part 26 shown pivot upwards and forms in this position also an armrest, as in FIG. 1b to see.
  • FIGS. 1a to c shown can also, as in Figure 1c shown, the side member 26 are pivoted overall in an obliquely upward position. In this position, the side part 26 forms a backrest.
  • This in FIGS. 1a to c Left side part 24 shown preferably remains in its horizontal position.
  • the sofa 10 forms in the in Figure 1c shown position of its side parts 24, 26 a chaise longue or a longchair for a person sitting or resting on it. The person leans with his back on the obliquely upstanding side part 26 and has the legs stretched out on the sitting and lying surface 14, which is extended by the horizontally standing side part 24 on one side.
  • the sitting and lying surface 14 is slidably mounted on the frame 12 in the lateral direction. Displaceability in the lateral direction means in FIGS. 1a to c to the left or right. A sliding guide of the sitting and lying surface 14 on the frame 12 is in FIG. 2 good to see.
  • the padding 18 of both the seat and reclining surface 14 and the backrest 20 is omitted so that the frame 16 is visible.
  • the frame 16 of the sitting and lying surface 14 has on its underside bow-shaped claws 34, which are provided with plastic chutes 36 at their ends.
  • one of the slides 36 rests on top of longitudinal members 38 of the frame 12 running in the lateral direction of the sofa bed 10.
  • the other slide 36 engages below the longitudinal spar 38 obliquely laterally from an inside and from below and secures the sitting and lying surface 14 against lifting from the frame 12.
  • the displaceability of the seat and lying surface 14 on the frame 12 is by comparing the FIGS. 1a and b With Figure 1c easily recognizable.
