Description

field of technology

[0001] The invention relates to a piece of furniture which can be used as a beach chair, comprising a seat and one or more support elements which can be moved between a retracted position below the seat and an extended position and which can be used as footrests, wherein a support element has one or more sliding rods with which it is displaceably mounted on the piece of furniture, and the support element can be supported against a floor in the extended position by a first folding support.

[0002] The invention also relates to a piece of furniture which can be used as a beach chair, comprising a seat and one or more support elements which can be moved between a retracted position below the seat and an extended position and which can be used as footrests, wherein a support element has one or more sliding rods with which it is movably mounted on the piece of furniture. State of the art

[0003] Furniture of the type in question is known in the form of beach chairs, particularly as garden or beach furniture. Reference is made, for example, to DE 10 2012 110 229 B4 or DE 20 2006 002 291 U1. The beach chairs known from these have, below the seat, a support element which can be moved relative to the seat in a drawer-like manner from a retracted position to an extended position and which can be used as an extension of the seat and, in particular, as a footrest. The drawer-like moveability of the support element results from the interaction of the sliding rods on the support element side with a guide element permanently installed on the furniture side. In the extended position, the support element can be supported on the ground via a fold-out support element, which fold-out element can be pivoted from a storage position into a support position in the extended position of the support element. Summary of the invention

[0004] Based on the aforementioned prior art, the invention is concerned with the task of further improving a piece of furniture of the type in question with regard to its possible use.

[0005] A possible solution to the problem is provided according to a first inventive idea in a piece of furniture that can be used as a beach chair, in which the first fold-out support is connected to a second fold-out support that is pivotally connected to the first fold-out support, wherein in the extended position the support element can be additionally supported on the ground in the use state via the second fold-out support.

[0006] By arranging the second fold-out support provided according to the invention in addition to the first fold-out support, a significant increase in the load-bearing capacity of the support element, particularly in the extended position, can be achieved initially and essentially. This results in increased stability of the support element, so that it can even be suitable for supporting the weight of a person sitting on the extended support element without impairing its function, in particular its sliding function, without damage. The second fold-out support, like the first fold-out support, preferably due to direct support on the support element, diverts forces introduced into the support element into the ground.This also results in an increase, for example, a doubling, of the total contact area of ​​the support element on the ground compared to an arrangement with only one folding support, as is known from the cited prior art. Particularly when the furniture is used normally as a beach chair set up on sandy ground, the improved force distribution also has the advantageous effect that the support element with its folding supports tends to sink less deeply into the sandy ground under load than with the known supports with only one folding support.

[0007] The first and / or second folding supports can be substantially identical in design, for example, each rod-shaped. The first and second folding supports can form a single support device, which can also be provided multiple times, for example, twice, per support element. The first folding supports of both support devices can be coupled to one another via a connector extending, for example, transversely to the longitudinal extension of the first folding supports. Such a coupling can also be provided with respect to the second folding supports of both support devices.

[0008] The folding supports can be made of the same material as the support element and also essentially the same material as the furniture as a whole, for example, from a wood or hard plastic material. A folding support can also be made of a metal material, for example.

[0009] A possible solution to the problem can also be provided according to a further inventive idea in a piece of furniture that can be used as a beach chair, in which the sliding rod is designed as a telescopic part, with a telescopic front rod part and a telescopic rear rod part.

[0010] Due to the telescopic nature of the sliding rod achieved in this way, it is possible to move the support element into a position more exposed to the seat in the extension direction, even with a constant size of the storage space and thus a constant travel path below the seat, than is possible with the support elements of the furniture known from the prior art and described above.

[0011] Two sliding rods can be provided associated with a support element, each of which acts telescopically and can thus each have a telescopic front rod part and a telescopic rear rod part.

[0012] In a further embodiment, the support element can have a front plate. This can be formed essentially in a plane perpendicular to the orientation and / or the direction of travel of the sliding rod and, in the normal state of use, can extend upwards beyond a usable surface of the support element and / or downwards toward the floor.

[0013] The front plate can be arranged at the front to delimit the support plane of the support element, for example to secure a cushion or the like placed on the support plane against slipping in the extension direction of the support element.

[0014] If support of the support element via the fold-out support(s) is not desired, such support on the ground can be achieved via the front plate. By providing such support via the front plate, a lower height of the support element's support plane relative to the ground can be achieved than with support via one or both fold-out supports. Accordingly, the height of the support element can be adjusted at least twice.

[0015] In the extended position of the support element, a lower edge of the front panel can be lifted from the ground by the unfolded first and second fold-out supports or by the first fold-out support alone.

[0016] The telescopic rear rod part is preferably assigned to the furniture, in particular a guide for the sliding rod in the furniture.

[0017] In a further embodiment, the telescopic front bar section can be firmly connected to the front panel. For example, in one possible embodiment, both the telescopic front bar section and the front panel can be made of a wood-based material, a screw connection can be provided.

[0018] The telescopic rear rod part can also be designed to accommodate the telescopic front rod part. For example, the telescopic front rod part can be rod-shaped, which is guided in a tubular telescopic rear rod part so that it can be displaced in the extension direction of the support element. According to a preferred development, the tubular telescopic rear rod part can have an inner cross-sectional area, viewed transversely to the extension direction, which can essentially correspond to the cross-sectional area of ​​the telescopic front rod part viewed in the same direction.

[0019] When not in use, and thus also when the support element is tucked under the seat, the first and second folding supports can be pivoted into a storage position. In this storage position, the folding supports can extend essentially in the direction of displacement of the support element and thus continue to be aligned approximately parallel to the sliding rods or their telescopic rear rod section and / or telescopic front rod section. In the usual use position of the furniture, this can result in a substantially horizontal storage position.

[0020] In a handling-advantageous manner, the folding supports can be secured in the stored position by magnets or locking devices. This simplifies handling when extending or retracting the support element. The folding supports are preferably moved from the stored position to the use position solely by user action, for example, by releasing the locking mechanism or by deliberately overcoming the magnetic holding forces. Such a locking device is also advantageous if the support element is to be supported on the floor solely via the front panel.

[0021] According to one possible embodiment, the magnetic or locking means can act between the first and second folding supports and / or between at least one folding support, for example, the first folding support, and the sliding rod. In a preferred embodiment, this provides at least one securing means for the folding supports to one another via magnetic or locking means. Furthermore, however, the folding supports can each be secured directly to the sliding rod, or only one folding support, for example, the second folding support, can be secured indirectly via the other, further, for example, the first folding support.

[0022] In a magnetic safety device, a folding support can carry a permanent magnet which, in the safety position, can interact with a magnetizable counterpart.

[0023] In a further embodiment, the sliding rod can have a wedge surface associated with a free end of the support element and the second extension support, which tapers the sliding rod toward the retracted position of the support element. The wedge surface can be provided by a wedge element secured between the sliding rod and preferably the front plate, which wedge element advantageously contributes to the stability of the support element, particularly in the extended position. The sliding rod or the corresponding telescopic front rod part can also have a wedge-like thickening directly at the end, associated with the front plate.

[0024] The wedge surface can form a support surface for the second folding support. This wedge surface, in conjunction with the second folding support, can also be used to adjust the height of the support element if necessary. Short description of the drawings

Description of the embodiments

[0026] Shown and described is, firstly, with reference to Fig. 1, a chair-like piece of furniture 1, in particular garden or beach furniture, further in particular in the form of a beach chair, with a bench 5 having a seat 2, which is laterally delimited by side sections 3 of a furniture base 4. A basket 6, which can optionally be pivoted relative to the seat 2 of the bench 5, can also be attached to the furniture base 4.

[0027] The basket 6 can form a backrest 7.

[0028] The furniture 1 can be suitably formed as a wooden furniture, optionally with woven cheek sections 3 and / or basket 6.

[0029] A seat cushion P1 can be arranged on the seat surface 2 in the usual way.

[0030] Underside of the bench 2 and above a floor part 8, with which the furniture 1 as a whole rests on a floor 9, for example sand floor, a storage space 10 can be formed in the furniture lower part 4, for receiving a between a retracted position according to Fig. 1 into an extended position, for example according to Fig. 2 drawer-like movable support elements 11.

[0031] A continuous support element 11 can be provided across the width B of the furniture base 4 resulting between the cheek sections 3. Alternatively, the arrangement of preferably two support elements 11 arranged side by side in the direction of the width B is provided.

[0032] The support element 11, which can be used in the extended position, for example as a footrest, initially has essentially two sliding rods 12 extending in the extension direction L of the support element 11, which is transverse to the width B. In the extension direction L, the sliding rods 11 are provided at their ends with a Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 is connected to a front panel 13 aligned essentially in a vertical plane. In this regard, a preferred design of the sliding rods 11 and the front panel 13 made of a wood material can provide a screw connection.

[0033] In the direction of the width B, the sliding rods 12 of a support element 11, which run essentially parallel to one another, are provided spaced apart from one another.

[0034] In the extended position, a support cushion P2 can be arranged on the sliding rods 12, in particular on a support plane 34 resulting from the sliding rods 12.

[0035] The front panel 13 extends from the connection to the sliding rods 12 both upwards and downwards beyond the sliding rods 12, with respect to the usual usage position of the furniture 1. Thus, in the retracted position, the front panel 13 can extend downwards at least approximately to the floor part 8 of the furniture base 4, thereby essentially closing an opening 14 of the storage space 10 resulting in the extension direction L.

[0036] The section of the front plate 13 extending upwards beyond the sliding rods 12 prevents, in the use position of the support element 11, a support cushion P2 that may be placed thereon from being displaced in the extension direction L.

[0037] This section of the front plate 13, which projects upwards beyond the sliding rods 12, can also, in the retracted position, come into contact with the facing end face 14 of the seat 5 (compare Fig. 1 and Fig. 3).

[0038] The support element 11 is movably mounted on the furniture 1, particularly in the area of ​​the storage space 10 of the furniture base 4, via the sliding rods 12. For this purpose, a guide in the form of a guide rod 15 extending in the extension direction L can be provided on the storage space side, associated with each sliding rod 12, which further, for example - as shown in the Fig. 9 - can be formed in the manner of a wire with bent ends.

[0039] In the region of a first end, the guide rod 15 can form an eyelet 16 through which a screw 17 can engage in a front frame section 18 of the furniture base 4.

[0040] The end of the guide rod 15 facing away from the end provided with the eyelet 16 can form an S-curve section 32, the free end section 19 of which can engage in a bore 20 of a rear frame section 21.

[0041] Each sliding rod 12 can be designed as a telescopic part, essentially comprising a telescopic front rod part 22 and a telescopic rear rod part 23.

[0042] The telescopic front rod part 22 can be made of a wood material, for example, a wooden rod with a rectangular cross-section viewed transversely to the extension direction L. This telescopic front rod part 22 is firmly connected to the front plate 13, for example, by screwing.

[0043] In the area of ​​this free end of the telescopic front rod part 22, a wedge piece 24 can be provided, in particular to increase the stability of the connection between the sliding rod 12, in particular the telescopic front rod part 22 and the front plate 13, which wedge piece 24 is arranged on the underside of the telescopic front rod part 22 and can optionally also be connected to the front plate 13, for example by screwing or gluing.

[0044] The associated end of the telescopic front rod part 22 preferably rests fully on an associated surface of the wedge piece 24. Here, too, a connection can be made, for example, by screwing or gluing.

[0045] A wedge surface 25 directed downwards - with reference to the usual usage position of the furniture 1 - results in a tapering of the sliding rod 12 in this connection area to the front panel 13, starting from the front panel 13 in the opposite direction to the extension direction L, correspondingly in the direction of the retracted position of the support element 11.

[0046] The telescopic rear rod part 23 can, as also shown, be designed as a hollow profile part, for example in the form of a square tube adapted to the outer cross-sectional contour of the telescopic front rod part 22. In this respect, it can, for example, be a hollow profile part made of a metal material (see Fig. 9).

[0047] The telescopic front rod part 22 is guided in the telescopic rear rod part 23 in the extension direction L with limited movement.

[0048] To limit the stop, a stop pin 26, for example a screw, can engage through slot-shaped recesses 28 formed in side walls 27 of the telescopic rear rod part 23 and penetrate the telescopic front rod part 22 in the area of ​​a transverse bore 29 on the inside of the profile.

[0049] A tab 30 angled outwards can be provided on the profile-like telescopic rear rod part 23, facing away from the telescopic front rod part 22, with a bore-like guide opening 31 through which the furniture-side guide rod 15 engages to guide the sliding rod 12 as a whole.

[0050] In the retracted position, the tab 30 of the telescopic rear rod part 23 can rest on the S-shaped section 32 resulting in this end region of the guide rod 15 and / or the stop pin 26 can rest on the rear end of the slot-shaped recess 28 viewed in the extension direction L (see also Fig. 3).

[0051] From this retracted position, by grasping in particular the front plate 13, a sliding displacement of the support element 11 in the extension direction L can be achieved, wherein, if necessary, initially only a sliding displacement of the sliding rod 12 can be achieved overall over a first displacement path a relative to the guide rod 15 (cf. Fig. 4) and only then, with further pulling action, a telescoping of the telescopic front rod part 22 and the telescoping rear rod part 23 is carried out over an additional second displacement path a', during which telescoping essentially the telescoping front rod part 22 is pulled out from the telescoping rear rod part 23, which is fixed in the extension direction L due to the end stop, up to the stop limit (compare Fig. 5).

[0052] Of course, in the course of such an outward shift, an overlay of the previously described pull-out steps (shifting paths a and a') of the Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 possible.

[0053] Due to the sole guidance of the support element 11 by means of the guide rod 15 passing through the tab 30 of the respective sliding rod 12, a limited tilting of the support element 11 from the horizontal extension in a substantially vertical direction is possible in the extended position of the support element 11.

[0054] This can be used to support the extended support element 11 with the lower edge 33 of the front plate 13 directly on the floor 9 (compare Fig. 6). This results in a first support height h at the transition of the sliding rods 12 into the front plate 13, with a support plane 34 for the support cushion P2 rising from the front plate 13 to the seat surface 2.

[0055] As an alternative to supporting the support element 11 on the floor 9 via the front plate 13, the support element 11 can also be supported via a separate support device 35.

[0056] This support device 35 preferably consists of two folding supports, each assigned to a sliding rod 12, a first folding support 36 and a second folding support 37.

[0057] The folding supports 36 and 37 can, as also shown, consist of a wood material with a rod-like shape, wherein the first folding support 36 is hinged in the region of a free end via a pivot pin 38, for example in the form of a screw, to the sliding rod 12, in particular to the telescopic front rod part 22.

[0058] This first folding support 36 preferably extends associated with an inner surface of the sliding rod 12 facing the other sliding rod 12 of the same support element 11. The geometric folding axis x extends in a region of the telescopic front rod part 22 between the telescopic rear rod part 23 and the connection of the telescopic front rod part 22 or the sliding rod 12 as a whole to the front plate 13, more preferably in a region between the telescopic rear rod part 23 and the wedge piece 24.

[0059] The second extension support 37 is pivotally connected to the first extension support 36. For this purpose, a further pivot pin 39, for example in the form of a screw, can also be provided with a pivot axis y aligned parallel to the previously described pivot axis x. This pivot pin 39 extends approximately centrally along the respective longitudinal extension of the extension supports 36 and 37. The second extension support 37 extends outside the first extension support 36 and thus, in a vertical projection, essentially overlaps the sliding rod 12.

[0060] The folding supports 36 and 37 are in a storage position according to the Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 is aligned substantially horizontally, in particular the second folding support 37 below the sliding rod 12 and, if applicable, in contact with it.

[0061] In this storage position, the free support ends 40 of the fold-out supports 36 and 37 point backwards in the direction of the backrest 7, opposite to the extension direction L.

[0062] Furthermore, in the storage position, which in one possible embodiment can be assumed not only in the retracted position of the support element 11, but also in the extended position, a magnetic means 41 can act between the folding supports 37 of a support device 35 and the sliding rod 12, in particular the telescopic rear rod part 23, which indirectly secures the first support device 36 via the second support device 37. According to the illustration in Fig. 10, at least one of the folding supports 37 can be provided with a permanent magnetic part 42, which adheres to the magnetizable telescopic rear rod part 23 in the secured position. The permanent magnetic part 42 can be ring-shaped and can be attached to the surface of the second support device 37 by means of a screw penetrating the center of this ring design.

[0063] The magnetic securing means between the second folding support 37 and the sliding rod 12 can be reached essentially in a horizontal plane.

[0064] In a possible embodiment, both second folding supports 37 of both support devices 35 can also be provided with such magnetic means 41 for direct adhesion to the respective sliding rod 12.

[0065] Alternatively, as can be seen from the Fig. 12 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 13, a magnetic means 41 acts directly between the folding supports 36 and 37 of a support device 35, which magnetic means 41 secures at least the second support device 37 to the first support device 36 and vice versa. For this purpose, a folding support can be provided with a permanent magnetic part 42, which, in the secured position, adheres to a correspondingly positioned magnetizable counterpart 43 of the other folding support. The magnetic securing directly between the two folding supports 36 and 37 can be achieved essentially in a vertical plane.

[0066] Alternatively, a combination of direct magnetic adhesion between the support devices 36 and 37 according to the Fig. 12 and Fig. 13 and a further magnetic attachment between a support device, preferably the second support device 37, and the sliding part 12 according to the Fig. 1 to 11. Such a design shows the Fig. 14.

[0067] As can be seen from the Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, the two folding supports 36 and 37 of a support device 35 can be pivoted in the extended position of the support element 11 first - if necessary by overcoming the magnetic holding forces on the sliding rod 12 - about the folding axis x in the direction of the front plate 13, after which a pivoting of the second folding support 37 relative to the folding support 36 - if necessary by overcoming the magnetic holding forces acting directly between the folding supports - on the sliding rod 12 about the folding axis y can be carried out (see Fig. 8).

[0068] The folding supports 36 and 37 take up hereafter with reference to a side view according to Fig.8 a mutually crossed support position, in which the second fold-out support 37, with its support end 45 facing away from the support end 40, comes into a support position for the associated sliding rod 12. In the usual use position, the support end 45 lies in a gusset between the wedge piece 24 and the rear side of the front panel 13, wherein the wedge surface 25 loads the support end 45 in the direction of this gusset and urges it into the contact position on the front panel 13.

[0069] The two support ends 40 of the fold-out supports 36 and 37 preferably extend essentially in a common horizontal plane which is essentially predetermined by the underside support surface of the base part 8.

[0070] By using the support device 35 in the previously described orientation of the fold-out supports 36 and 37, a second support height h' is obtained, at which the support plane 34 of the sliding rods 12 runs essentially parallel to the plane of the seat surface 2. Cushions placed on top (seat cushion P1 and support cushion P2) can thus form a flat surface on the upper side.

[0071] The double, crossed arrangement of the folding supports 36 and 37 also enables a significant increase in the load of the support element 11. This makes the support element 11 even suitable for use as a seat. The forces acting on the support element 11 and diverted via the folding supports 36 and 37 can be distributed over at least four support ends 40 per support element 11 and diverted into the floor 9. Overall, the contact surface on the floor 9 is doubled compared to support via only one folding support in the illustrated embodiment.

[0072] In a further embodiment, the first folding supports 35 and / or the second folding supports 37 of a support element 11 can be connected to one another via cross bars running transversely to the extension direction L for simplified handling.
