Abstract
Description
[0001] Beer benches are versatile, easy to transport, and sturdy. However, they have one problem: they are not very comfortable, especially for extended periods of sitting, such as at a festival or concert. You sit for long stretches, your back aches, and there's nowhere to lean back. A portable backrest for beer benches would significantly improve seating comfort.
[0002] The object of the invention is therefore to provide a portable backrest for beer benches that increases the seating comfort of beer benches.
[0003] This problem is solved by the features of claim 1.
[0004] By combining a conventional chair backrest with a pad on the seat of a beer bench and a bracket on the pad, the portable backrest for beer benches can be detachably attached to a beer bench, resulting in a seat with a backrest.
[0005] According to the advantageous embodiment of the invention as described in claim 2, the chair backrest can be folded backward to a fixed angle, resulting in a comfortable sitting position. The chair backrest can be tilted forward to any desired angle, allowing the portable backrest to be transported in a compact state.
[0006] According to the advantageous embodiment of the invention as per claim 3, the bracket comprises vertical and horizontal slats, so that the portable backrest can be slid onto the seat of the beer bench in the direction of the chair backrest. The U-shaped bracket encompasses the seat surface, and the support and horizontal slat are in frictional contact with the upper and lower surfaces of the beer bench when the portable backrest is slid onto the seat.
[0007] According to the advantageous embodiment of the invention as per claim 4, the support is in two parts and consists of two support strips arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart. The holder may, but need not, be designed in two parts.
[0008] According to the advantageous embodiment of the invention as per claim 5, the chair backrest comprises a backrest element and two backrest supports arranged at a distance from each other, to which the backrest element is attached. The free, lower ends of the backrest supports are tiltably attached to the one- or two-part support. This makes the portable backrest very compact and easy to handle when folded.
[0009] According to the advantageous embodiment of the invention according to claim 6, the two backrest supports and / or the two support rails are connected to each other with stabilizing rails, so that the portable backrest is more torsionally rigid.
[0010] According to the advantageous embodiment of the invention as per claim 7, a limiting strip is provided between the two support strips at the rear ends of the support strips to limit the backward tilt angle of the chair backrest. This represents a simple construction for limiting the tilt angle.
[0011] According to the advantageous embodiment of the invention according to claim 8, the portable backrest is made of wood that is easy to work with.
[0012] Further details, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an exemplary embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawing.
[0013] It shows Fig. 1 a schematic side view of an exemplary embodiment of the invention on a beer bench; and Fig. 2. A perspective view of the portable backrests on the beer bench.
[0014] Fig. 1 and Fig.Figure 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of the portable backrest for beer benches 2 according to the invention. The portable backrest comprises a conventional chair backrest 4, a support 6 on the beer bench 2, and a bracket 8 for fixing the portable backrest to the beer bench 2. The chair backrest 4 comprises a left and a right backrest support 4-1, 4-2, which are arranged at a distance from each other. In the upper region of the two backrest supports 4-1, 4-2, a backrest element 4-3 connects the two backrest supports 4-1, 4-2. The support 6 is designed in two parts and comprises a left and a right support rail 6-1, 6-2, which rest on the beer bench 2. The seat surface associated with the portable backrest lies on the beer bench 2 between the two support rails 6-1, 6-2. The bracket 8 is also constructed in two parts and comprises a left and a right vertical rail 8-1, 8-2 as well as a left and a right horizontal rail 8-3, 8-4.The two vertical slats 8-1, 8-2 are screwed to the front ends of the respective support slats 6-1, 6-2 and to one end of the respective horizontal slats 8-3, 8-4. The support slats 6-1, 6-2 and the horizontal slats 8-3, 8-4 are screwed parallel to each other and spaced apart, with the spacing corresponding to the thickness of the beer bench 2. This arrangement allows the portable backrest to be slid onto the beer bench 2.
[0015] The lower ends of the two backrest supports 4-1, 4-2 are connected to the rear ends of the two support rails 6-1, 6-2 in a way that allows them to rotate and tilt. A limiting strip 10, which is screwed to the rear ends of the two support rails 6-1, 6-2, limits the backward tilt angle of the chair backrest 4 and allows the portable backrest to be folded forward. The limiting strip 10 also increases the stability of the portable backrest. For further stability, the two horizontal rails 8-3, 8-4 could be connected to each other by a stabilizing strip (not shown).
