Garden kneeling bench with extendable anti-tip device

Abstract

Garden kneeling bench, characterized in that the kneeling bench has at least one manually extendable telescopic pole on the underside of its frame on the left and right sides, which is received in the frame in a retracted rest position and can be extended into a protective position to increase the base of the kneeling bench and prevent it from tipping over.

Description

[0001] Garden kneeling benches are typically used as foldable support aids that allow gardeners to kneel or sit comfortably. They usually feature a sturdy frame made of plastic or metal, as well as a padded kneeling and seat surface. Such devices are used to facilitate work on the ground in gardens, on lawns or flowerbeds, and for other gardening tasks.

[0002] Conventional garden kneeling benches have the problem that they tend to tip over when weight is applied, especially when leaning on one side or on uneven ground. This poses a significant safety risk, as the user can lose their balance and fall. Existing solutions either require a wider base, which makes transport more difficult, or they do not offer effective protection against tipping sideways.

[0003] The present invention offers a solution in which the kneeling bench is equipped with an integrated, manually extendable anti-tip device that can be activated when needed without significantly affecting the compactness and foldability of the device.

[0004] The anti-tip device comprises at least two telescopic poles, one on the left side and one on the right side of the underside of the frame. These poles can be manually extended from their retracted resting position to a protective extended position. In the extended position, the telescopic poles increase the effective base of the kneeling bench, thus effectively preventing tipping even under uneven loads or on uneven ground.

[0005] The telescopic poles are flush with the frame of the kneeling bench when retracted and do not affect the folding function, the appearance, or the transport of the device. They can be easily extended manually without tools and moved into the protective position, and can be locked in the extended position using a locking mechanism.

[0006] Optionally, the kneeling bench can also be equipped with side tool pockets, a foldable back support and non-slip feet to further increase user comfort and safety.
