Description

[0001] Folding furniture

[0002] The invention relates to a piece of folding furniture with a table surface, with a seat surface and with a plurality of struts connected to one another via at least one pivot joint, wherein a locking strut extends between two struts to limit a maximum angle between two struts.

[0003] EP 3 391 777 B1 discloses a piece of folding furniture with a table top and a seat plate, as well as a plurality of struts connected to one another via pivot joints. The struts include a locking strut, by means of which a maximum angle between two struts can be limited. In this way, the folding furniture can be moved into a first assembly position in which the horizontal table top can be used, or into a second assembly position in which the horizontal seat plate can be used. Simultaneous use of the table and seat plate is not intended.The object of the present invention is to further develop a folding furniture item in such a way that it can be easily moved from a transport position, in which the struts or the folding furniture, when folded, essentially run in one plane, into a stable assembly position in which the table and seat plate are arranged in a usable horizontal position.

[0004] To achieve this object, the invention in conjunction with the preamble of claim 1 is characterized in that the locking strut has a first end which is arranged on a first connecting strut in a linearly guided manner via a linear guide means, that a second connecting strut is articulated to the locking strut via a rotary joint, and that the locking strut and / or the first connecting strut is assigned a locking element and / or a stop, by means of which the first connecting strut can be fixed to the locking strut in an assembly position.

[0005] According to the invention, a locking strut is arranged on a first connecting strut in a linear manner and is pivotally coupled to a second connecting strut via a pivot joint. A locking element and / or a stop is assigned to the locking strut and / or the first connecting strut, so that the folding furniture can assume a stable position in an assembled position in which a surface firmly connected to the locking strut can be used as a horizontally extending seating surface. According to the invention, the first connecting strut is wedged relative to the second connecting strut, so that in the assembled position, when a force is applied from above, no undesired twisting of the connecting struts or the locking struts relative to one another can occur. Due to its own weight, the folding furniture remains in the assembled position.To move the tilting furniture from the assembly position to the transport position, the locking element must be unlocked and the locking strut and the second connecting strut must be pivoted into a parallel position.

[0006] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a third connecting strut is arranged on the first connecting strut, guided linearly via a second linear guide means, so that two strut triangles are formed in the assembled position. This leads to increased stability of the folding furniture in the assembled position.

[0007] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the locking element and / or the stop and / or the linear guide means are designed such that the first and second connecting struts enclose an angle in a range between 60° and 90° in the assembled position. Preferably, the first connecting strut runs perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the second connecting strut, thus ensuring a stable position of the folding furniture.

[0008] According to a further development of the invention, the stop is firmly connected to the first connecting strut. In the assembled position, the locking strut and the third connecting strut abut against the stop, ensuring a defined assembly pitch in which the seat surface runs horizontally. The stop is arranged in such a region of the first connecting strut that, in the assembled position of the folding furniture, the locking strut and the third connecting strut abut against the stop in such a rotational position that the seat surface runs horizontally.

[0009] According to a further development of the invention, the struts associated with the seat and / or table surface are arranged in pairs, thus improving the stability of the folding furniture in the assembled position. According to a further development of the invention, a second support strut, which is articulated to the first connecting strut via a retaining strut, is coupled to a frame equipped with rollers, allowing the folding furniture to be easily moved in the transport position.

[0010] According to a further development of the invention, the frame has an outrigger extending from the first support strut, so that this outrigger can be used as a footrest in the unfolded assembly position of the furniture and as a load-bearing device in the folded transport position. The load-bearing device of the folding furniture thus fulfills the function of a standard hand truck in the transport position. The outrigger can be fixed to the second support strut or can be folded out to it.

[0011] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the rigid third connecting strut has a first end that is linearly guided on the first connecting strut and a second end that is articulated to a second end of the holding strut via a pivot joint. In this way, three articulated triangles are formed between the pivot joints in the assembly position, which lead to a stable position of the folding furniture in the assembly position. A first triangle is formed by a section of the first support strut, the locking strut and a section of the first connecting strut. A second triangle is formed by a section of the first connecting strut, the third connecting strut and a holding strut. A third triangle is formed by a section of the second support strut, the second connecting strut and the third connecting strut.

[0012] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first and / or second linear guide means is designed as a sliding element, wherein the first linear guide means is pivotally connected to the locking strut and the second linear guide means is pivotally connected to the third connecting strut. Preferably, the sliding element is designed as a sleeve element, so that the struts can each be designed as tubes, preferably cylindrical tubes. This advantageously provides a linear guide that is easy to manufacture.

[0031] A folding furniture 1 has a table top 2 as a table surface, a seat plate 3 as a seat surface and a plurality of struts 4, 4', 5, 5', 6, 7, wherein the struts 4, 4 1, 5, 5', 6, 7 are each pivotally connected to different struts 4, 4', 5, 5', 6, 7 via two pivot joints 8. The pivot joints 8 are preferably of identical design. The axes of rotation of the pivot joints 8 run parallel to one another. The pivot joints 8 enable the struts 4, 4', 5, 5', 6, 7 connected via the same pivot joints to pivot in the same way about the predetermined axis of rotation. If necessary, the pivot joints 8 can have a different structural design. However, this does not change the function of the identical pivotability.

[0032] The folding furniture 1 is designed to be collapsible and unfoldable, so that it can be pivoted or folded from a transport position according to Figure 3 into an assembly position according to Figure 1 and vice versa.

[0033] In the assembled position of the folding furniture 1, the strut, designed as a first support strut 4 and a second support strut 4', runs perpendicular to the seat plate 3 and table top 2, respectively, which each assume a horizontal position. The first support strut 4 is assigned to the seat plate 3, and the second support strut 4' is assigned to the table top 2.

[0034] The first support strut 4 is articulated to a holding strut 6 via the strut designed as a first connecting strut 5, wherein the holding strut 6 is preferably fixedly fastened to an underside of the table top 2. If necessary, the table top 2 can be arranged displaceably relative to the holding strut 6 and / or the seat plate 2 can be arranged displaceably relative to the locking strut 7gv, for adjusting a horizontal distance between the table top 2 and the seat plate 3 in the assembly position.

[0035] One end of the second support strut 4' is connected to the tail strut 6 via the swivel joint 8. The second support strut 4 L is articulated to a locking strut 7 via a second connecting strut 5', wherein the locking strut 7 is preferably fixedly arranged on an underside of the seat plate 3

[0036] Both the first connecting strut 5 and the second connecting strut 5' have the swivel joints 8 at their ends.

[0037] The first support strut 4 and the second support strut 4' have the pivot joint 8 only at one end, via which they are connected in an articulated manner to the seat plate 3 and the table plate 2, respectively.

[0038] Both the first connecting strut 5 and the second connecting strut 5' are hingedly coupled to the first support strut 4 and the second support strut 4' via the pivot joint 8 on a half opposite the end pivot joint 8 of the first support strut 4 and the second support strut 4', respectively. In the present exemplary embodiment, the first connecting strut 5 and the second connecting strut 5' are hingedly arranged with the first support strut 4 and the second support strut 4', respectively, in a lower third of the first support strut 4 and the second support strut 4', respectively, wherein the lower third is located in a region of the support struts 4, 4' facing the floor.

[0039] The first connecting strut 5 has a linear guide means 9, by means of which a first end 10 of the locking strut 7 is arranged so as to be longitudinally displaceable, specifically in the longitudinal direction of the first connecting strut 5. The linear guide means 9 can, for example, have a longitudinal slot in which a pin 11 of the locking strut 7 is mounted so as to be longitudinally displaceable. The longitudinal slot 9 can, for example, be designed as an elongated hole, so that the locking strut 7 is arranged so as to be rotatable and longitudinally displaceable relative to the first connecting strut 5 via the end pin 11.

[0040] Preferably, the longitudinal slot 9 is of such a length that the locking strut 7 can be pivoted from the assembly position into a transport position, in which the struts are in the same plane, and back again. Preferably, the stop or locking element is designed such that it abuts the second connecting strut 5' in an end position of the locking strut 7 located in the longitudinal slot 9. In this end position, the seat surface and the table surface are in a horizontal position.

[0041] At a distance a from the first end 10 of the locking strut 7, the second connecting strut 5' is articulated to the locking strut 7, specifically via the pivot joint 8. The second connecting strut 5' is thus articulated to the locking strut 7.

[0042] As can be seen from Figure 1, the first connecting strut 5 and the second connecting strut 5' in the assembled position of the folding furniture 1 extend at an angle cp to each other, which can be a right angle or a 90 c can be a close angle. Both the first connecting strut 5 and the second connecting strut 5' thus run diagonally between the first support strut 4 and the second support strut 4' in the assembled position.

[0043] According to an alternative embodiment of the invention (not shown), the first connecting strut 5 and the second connecting strut 5' can also form an angle <p in einem Bereich zwischen 60° und 90° einschließen. Damit die erste Verbindungsstrebe 5 und die zweite Verbindungsstrebe 5‘ in der zueinander gekreuzten Lage fest angeordnet sind, weist die Verriege- lungsstrebe 7 an dem ersten Ende 10 einen Anschlag 12 auf, der sich in der Montagestellung an der zweiten Verbindungsstrebe 5' abstützt.

[0044] According to an alternative embodiment of the invention not shown, a manually operable locking element can be provided instead of the stop 12, by means of which the first connecting strut 5 is arranged rigidly to the locking strut 7 in the assembly position.

[0045] The distance a between the first end 10 of the locking strut 7 and the pivot joint 8, to which the second connecting strut 5' is hinged to the locking strut 7, is less than half the length li of the first connecting strut 5 and h of the second connecting strut 5' and h of the locking strut 7.

[0046] A second end 18 of the locking strut 7 is connected via the pivot joint 8 to the first support strut 4, to which a first end 26 of the first connecting strut 5 is coupled via a pivot joint 8.

[0047] A second end 27 of the first connecting strut 5 is connected via a pivot joint 8 to a holding strut 6, which is connected via a pivot joint 8 to the second support strut 4'.

[0048] As can be seen from Figure 2, the folding furniture 1 is designed symmetrically with respect to a vertical plane of symmetry S.

[0049] Preferably, a frame 13 is connected to the bottom of the second support strut 4', which frame is firmly connected to the second support strut 4 ; is connected, see Figure 7. The frame 13 can have end support feet 14 on a cross strut 16, which are arranged transversely to the plane of symmetry S and serve to provide additional stability to the folding furniture 1 in the assembly position.

[0050] According to an alternative embodiment of the invention according to Figure 8, instead of support feet, rollers 15 can be arranged on the cross member 16 of a frame 13, so that the folding furniture 1 is designed to be easily movable in the folded transport position.

[0051] The rollable frame 13' according to Figure 8 preferably has an outrigger 17 projecting in the direction of the first support strut 4 and extending perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rollers 15. The outrigger 17 can be designed as a plate that, in the transport position, can serve to support loads, for example, for transporting objects. In the transport position, the folding furniture item 1 can thus be used like a sack barrow for transporting objects. In the assembled position, the outrigger 17 can be used as a footrest for the person sitting on the seat plate 3.

[0052] Alternatively, the boom 17 can also point in a different direction.

[0053] It is understood that the first support strut 4 does not have an additional frame on a side facing away from the seat plate 3. Preferably, the first support strut 4 itself serves as support in the unfolded assembly position of the folding furniture 1.

[0054] The struts 4, 5, 6, 7 are preferably made of a metal material. Alternatively, they can be made of wood, plastic, or a composite material.

[0055] According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the boom 17 can also be arranged so that it can be folded relative to the cross brace 16 of the frame 13'. The first support brace 4, the second connecting brace 5', the holding brace 6, and the locking brace 7 are arranged in pairs and on opposite sides of the second support brace 4', thus providing double locking via two stops 12. The seat plate 3 is thus supported twice, while the table top 2 is supported once. Alternatively, the number of braces 4, 4, 5, 5', 6, 7 can be varied depending on the size of the seat plate 3 or the table top 2.

[0056] Alternatively, the number of struts 4, 4', 5, 5', 6, 7 may depend on the size and / or weight and / or material of the table top 2 and / or the seat plate 3, so that sufficient stability of the folding furniture 1 is ensured.

[0057] According to a further embodiment of the invention according to Figures 10 to 12, a piece of folding furniture T is provided which essentially differs from the folding furniture 1 according to the first embodiment in that a third connecting strut 5'" is additionally provided, which - like the other struts - is designed as a rigid strut. The third connecting strut 5'" has a first end 36, which is arranged on the first connecting strut 5, guided linearly via a second linear guide means 9'. Furthermore, the third connecting strut 5'" has a second end 37, which is connected to a second end 31 of the support strut 6 via a pivot joint 8.

[0058] The second linear guide means 9' of the first connecting strut 5 is arranged in a region of the first connecting strut 5 facing the first support strut 4, preferably in the region of a first half thereof. The first linear guide means 9 of the first connecting strut 5 is arranged in a region of the first connecting strut 5 facing the holding strut 6, preferably in a region of a second half thereof. The first end 10 of the connecting strut 7 is arranged at an inner end 32 of the first linear guide means 9 in the assembly position of the folding furniture 1' and at an outer end 33 of the first linear guide means 9 in the transport position. The first end 36 of the third connecting strut 5'" is arranged at an inner end 34 of the second linear guide means 9' in the assembly position and at an outer end 35 of the second linear guide means 9' in the transport position.

[0059] The first and second linear guide means 9, 9' are designed as a longitudinal guide. The first end 10 of the connecting strut 7 is pivotally mounted in the first linear guide means 9, which is designed as a longitudinal slot, and the first end 36 of the third connecting strut 5'" is pivotally mounted in the second linear guide means 9', which is designed as a longitudinal slot.

[0060] The pivot bearing or the pivot joints 8 each have axes of rotation running parallel to one another, which run perpendicular to the direction of movement when moving the folding furniture 1, T from the transport position to the assembly position and vice versa.

[0061] The first end 36 of the third connecting strut 5"' is arranged in the region of the second connecting strut 5' in the assembled position. Preferably, the first end 36 of the third connecting strut 5'" is arranged in an end region of the second connecting strut 5'.

[0062] In the assembled position, a total of three joint triangles D1, D2, D3 result. A first triangle D1 is formed by the third connecting strut 5'", the holding strut 6 and a first section 21 of the first connecting strut 5. The first section 21 of the first connecting strut 5 extends from the inner end 34 of the second linear guide means 9' to the end of the first connecting strut 5 that is attached to the holding strut 6. A second triangle D2 is formed by the locking strut 7, a second section 22 of the first connecting strut 5 and a first section 23 of the first support strut 4. The second section 22 of the first connecting strut 5 and the first section 23 of the support strut 4 are coupled at opposite ends of the locking strut 7 via the swivel joints 8.

[0063] A third triangle D3 is composed of the third connecting strut 5'', a first section 24 of the second support strut 4' and the second connecting strut 5', wherein the ends of the second connecting strut 5' and the third connecting strut 5' facing away from the second support strut 4' are arranged at a distance a from one another.

[0064] According to an alternative embodiment of the invention (not shown), the distance a can also be less than 4 cm. In one embodiment of the invention, the distance a can be zero. Then, the second connecting strut 5' is pivotally connected to an axis A of the pivot joint 8 of the locking strut 7, which is guided in the first linear guide 9.

[0065] In the present embodiment, the axis A or the pivot joint 8 of the locking strut 7 or the first end 10 of the locking strut 7 is mounted in the first linear guide 9. In the assembly position, the first end 10 with the pivot joint 8 is arranged at the inner end 32 of the first linear guide 9. In the transport position, the first end 10 of the locking strut 7 is arranged at the outer end 33 of the first linear guide 9.

[0066] It can be seen that the first section 23 of the first support strut 4 and the first section 24 of the second support strut 4' are longer than a second section 23' of the first support strut 4 and a second section 24' of the second support strut 4'.

[0067] By applying a force to the first end 10 of the locking strut 7 and / or to the first end 19 of the second connecting strut 5' from the respective end position in the linear guide 9, 9', the folding furniture can be moved from the assembly position according to Figure 10 into the transport position according to Figure 11. In the transport position according to Figure 11, the first connecting strut 5, the locking strut 7 and the first support strut 4 are arranged in a common plane E1, while the second connecting strut 5' and the third connecting strut 5"' as well as the holding strut 6 together with the second support strut 4' are arranged in a common second plane E2 adjacent to the first plane E1. The seat plate 3 is arranged parallel to one side and the table plate 2 is arranged parallel to the struts on the opposite side.Only the third connecting strut 5*” runs diagonally between the two levels E1, E2 of the strut arrangement in the transport position.

[0068] To fix the folding furniture T in the assembly position according to Figure 10, a locking element 28 is provided, which fixes the position of the first connecting strut 5 relative to the locking strut 7. For this purpose, the locking element 28 is moved into a locking position in the position of the struts according to Figure 10. If the folding furniture 1' is to be moved from the assembly position to the transport position, the locking element 28 is moved into an unlocking position, so that subsequently by engaging, for example, the third connecting strut 5" ; the struts are pivoted so that they assume a flat position according to the transport position in Figure 11.

[0069] The locking element 28 can, for example, comprise a clamp that is arranged by means of a pivot pin in a connection area between the locking strut 7 and the first connecting strut 5. For example, the locking element 28 can encompass the first connecting strut 5 as well as the axis A of the pivot joint 8 of the locking strut 7.

[0070] Alternatively, the seat can be constructed as a taut mesh. Alternatively, the table surface can be constructed as a taut film to reduce weight.

[0071] According to a further embodiment of the invention according to Figures 13 to 16, a piece of folding furniture is provided which differs from the preceding embodiment according to Figures 10 to 12 in that different linear guide means are provided. Instead of first and second linear guide means 9, 9', which are provided through slots in the first connecting strut 5, the first and second linear guide means 9, 9' are each designed as sliding elements 40, 40'. A first sliding element 40 is attached to the first connecting strut 5 in a linearly displaceable manner and is articulated to the locking strut 7. A second sliding element 40' is connected to the first connecting strut 5 in a linearly displaceable manner and is articulated to the third connecting strut 5'''.

[0072] The first sliding element 40 and the second sliding element 40 :are each designed as sleeve elements if the first connecting strut 5 is designed as a tube, preferably as a cylindrical tube. The sleeve elements 40, 40' are then also designed as hollow cylinders, wherein a diameter of the sleeve elements 40, 40' is larger than an outer diameter of the first connecting strut 5. The first sleeve element 40 and the second sleeve element 40' engage around the first connecting strut 5 with play, so that they are displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the first connecting strut 5. As can be seen in particular from Figure 15a, a stop 12' is firmly connected to the first connecting strut 5 at a location such that the first sleeve element 40 of the locking strut 7 and the second sleeve element 40' of the third connecting strut 5*" in the assembly position according to Figure 13 or 13a abut on opposite end faces of the stop 12' and the table surface 2 and the seat surface 3 each run horizontally.For this purpose, the stop 12' has a predetermined axial length so that the locking strut 7 with its sleeve element 40 abuts an upper end face of the stop 12 from above, and the third connecting strut 5'" with its sleeve element 40' abuts a lower end face of the stop 12' from below. Advantageously, the folding furniture has triangles D1, D2, D3 formed by struts in the assembly position 3, thus ensuring a stable assembly position.

[0073] Alternatively or additionally, a locking element 28' is provided, which can be designed, for example, as a pivoting part. In the present embodiment, the pivotable locking element 28* is pivotally mounted on the locking strut 7 and engages with its indentation 45 in an axis of the rotary joint arranged at the end 36 of the third locking strut 5''. In this way, unwanted displacement of the struts from the assembled position is prevented. Preferably, the pivot axis of the locking element 28' runs through the sleeve element 40.

[0074] According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the locking element 28* can also be hingedly coupled to the first connecting strut 5.

[0075] According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the locking element 28* can also be designed as a sliding element or can be fully unfolded. In the transport position, the folding furniture according to Figures 13 to 16 can be used as a means of transport, in particular as a sack barrow, wherein a pivotable floor element 50 is mounted on the second support strut 4' in a foldable manner. In the assembled position for use of the folding furniture as a seat, the floor element 50 is in a vertical position, see Figure 13, Figure 13a. In a transport position of the folding furniture, the floor element 50 can be in a position perpendicular to the second support strut 4'. A wheel 51 is arranged at the lower end 24" of the second support strut 4' so that the folding furniture can be moved like a sack barrow.

[0076] Figure 15 and Figure 15a respectively illustrate the pivoting of the floor element 50 from the second support strut 4' into a position perpendicular to the second support strut. The floor element 50 is pivotally mounted via an angular joint at the lower end 24' of the second support strut 4'. The angular joint ensures that the floor element 50 can only be folded out to an angle of 90° relative to the second support strut 4'.

[0077] The folding furniture preferably has a handle (not shown) so that, in its transport position, the base element 50 can be used to hold objects. The entire folding furniture, or the second support strut 4' or the additional struts 5, 5', 5'", serve to support an object that is placed on the bottom of the base element 50.
