Description

[0001] The invention relates to a furniture part, in particular a soft furniture part, according to independent claim 1, and to a method for setting up a furniture part, in particular a soft furniture part, according to independent method claim 14. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a piece of furniture, in particular a soft furniture part, which is formed from a furniture part according to the invention or comprises at least one furniture part according to the invention.

[0002] A variety of soft furniture is known from current technology. For example, there are soft furniture such as seating sets filled with granules, especially polystyrene beads, or with polyurethane products. These conventional soft furniture pieces are very inexpensive, easy to transport, and exhibit good fire resistance and excellent thermal insulation. Furthermore, these pieces retain their seating properties even after prolonged use and can be refilled with granules at home if necessary. Additionally, the interior of these conventional soft furniture pieces is filled to a maximum of two-thirds of its capacity with filling material, allowing the shape of the furniture to ideally adapt to the body when sitting.

[0003] However, there are also state-of-the-art soft furniture designs that are completely filled with filling material. These soft furniture designs usually have several separate compartments. A disadvantage of these soft furniture designs is that the surface is pushed outwards by the complete filling, thus detracting from the furniture's appearance. Furthermore, seating comfort is impaired because the furniture can no longer conform to the body due to the full, firm filling. Additionally, sudden impacts on the fabric of such soft furniture can cause tears, such as those that can occur when sitting down quickly. If the filling material shrinks over time, for example, due to compression of the soft granules, the furniture loses its desired shape.

[0004] Conventional furniture is known from, among others, GB 2 156 208 A, GB 2 237 737 A, US 2010 / 006177 A1, XP054978872, XP 054978874, US 4 675 930 A and RU 2 093 057 C1.

[0005] The object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, the object of the invention is to create a furniture component, especially a soft furniture component, which retains the desired physical properties such as dimensional stability, surface tension, and good seating comfort over a long period of time. It is also a particular object of the invention to create a piece of furniture with these properties.

[0006] The problem addressed by the invention is solved in particular by the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0007] According to the invention, the invention relates to a furniture part, in particular a soft furniture part, wherein the furniture part comprises an air-permeable cover made of a substantially flexible material, such as in particular a fabric, wherein the cover has an interior filled with granules, wherein the granule-filled cover is adapted to the shape of the furniture part, and wherein a closable and sack-shaped filling device for filling the interior with granules is arranged on the cover.

[0008] According to the invention, the furniture part has a filling position, wherein in the filling position the interior is completely filled with granules, wherein in the filling position the filling device is arranged outside the interior and filled with granules, and that the furniture part has an operating position in which the filling device and the granules of the filling device are pushed and / or pressed into the interior.

[0009] Only through the features of the furniture component according to the invention can it be easily moved from its filled position to its operating position. According to the invention, the interior of the furniture component is completely filled with granules in the filled position. Polyurethane products, polystyrene beads, and / or EPS beads (expanded polystyrene) can be used as granules. Preferably, the granules consist of a multitude of dimensionally stable but soft, particularly compressible beads, such as those known from so-called beanbag chairs. Preferably, the material of the beads is a foamed plastic. These beads preferably have a diameter of about 0.8 mm to 10 mm, more preferably of about 1 mm to 6 mm, and most preferably of 3 mm to 5 mm. Such beads are preferably used in all embodiments of the invention.

[0010] Only by overfilling the interior with granules, i.e., by transferring the furniture part from its filling position to its operating position, can a furniture part with good dimensional stability, taut surfaces and high seating comfort be produced.

[0011] According to the invention, the closable and bag-shaped filling device arranged on the casing, designed to fill the interior with granules, is pushed or pressed into the completely filled interior of the furniture part, thereby bringing the furniture part into its operating position.

[0012] If necessary, it is provided that several filling devices are provided on the casing of a furniture part.

[0013] If necessary, the casing is provided to have a closable filling opening to which the filling device is connected for switching between the filling position and the operating position.

[0014] Optionally, the filling device is arranged directly at the closable filling opening of the casing. This allows both the interior of the furniture component and the filling device itself to be easily filled with granules from outside the interior. The granule-filled filling device can then be closed and, in particular through the filling opening, pushed or pressed into the interior of the furniture component. Optionally, the interior of the furniture component can be filled with granules by a first filling device. Optionally, during the filling of the furniture component, a second and / or a further, in particular closed, filling device can be filled, which, after being completely filled, can be pushed and / or pressed into the interior of the furniture component to move the furniture component into its operating position.

[0015] According to the invention, at least one tension element is provided in the interior, that the tension element is essentially relaxed in the filling position, and that the tension element is tensioned or elastically stretched in the operating position. Optionally, the tension element is provided to engage the casing on two opposite sides of the interior, and / or that the tension element is attached to the casing following the inner surface of the casing. Optionally, the tension element is provided to be made of or comprise an elastic material, and in particular to be an elastic band, an elastic cord, or an elastic surface.

[0016] According to the invention, the at least one tension element is essentially relaxed in the filling position and is tensioned or elastically stretched in the operating position of the furniture part, in particular between two opposite sides of the interior or the casing.

[0017] According to the invention, when the furniture component is moved from its filled position to its operating position—that is, by pushing or pressing in the granule-filled filling device—a further quantity of granules is introduced into the already completely filled interior of the casing. By introducing this additional quantity of granules, the interior of the casing can be overfilled, and the tensioning elements are stretched or elastically extended. This ensures both lasting dimensional stability and a high level of seating comfort, since only through overfilling can the necessary flexibility and elastic behavior of the furniture component be achieved.

[0018] In the operating position of the furniture component, the tensioned tension elements distribute the force acting on it when, for example, a person sits on it, thus achieving a high level of seating comfort. If necessary, the tension elements are designed to both distribute the force acting on the furniture component, protecting the fabric from overload and therefore from tearing, and simultaneously enable the desired elastic behavior of the furniture component.

[0019] If necessary, the casing material of the cover extends into the interior of the furniture part and forms a tension element.

[0020] If necessary, at least one reinforcing element is provided inside the shell.

[0021] If applicable, the reinforcing element is provided to be made of or comprise a non-elastic material, and in particular a non-elastic band, cord or fabric flap.

[0022] An elastic material is, for example, a stretchable material, such as rubber or a stretchable strip of fabric. An inelastic material is, for example, a normal textile or plastic material that yields only slightly under normal stress. In particular, the stretchability of an inelastic material is many times less than that of an elastic material.

[0023] If necessary, the reinforcing element is provided to be attached to the shell following the inside of the shell, and / or that the reinforcing element engages the shell on two opposite sides of the interior, and / or that the reinforcing element is attached where the tension elements engage the shell, with the tension elements engaging the shell via the reinforcing element.

[0024] If necessary, the reinforcing element is arranged along one side of the interior to distribute the force and to provide shape reinforcement.

[0025] This allows the force acting on the furniture part to be distributed and protects the cover or cover material / fabric from overload and tearing.

[0026] Where applicable, the reinforcing elements are also provided on the hull at the same locations as the tensioning elements. Thus, it is possible that the tensioning elements are attached to the hull via the reinforcing elements and therefore act on the hull via the reinforcing elements.

[0027] If necessary, the tensile elements are arranged directly on the shell or shell material and thus act directly on the shell.

[0028] Where applicable, the reinforcing elements are designed to strengthen, stiffen, and / or reinforce the shell and thus the shell material. Furthermore, the reinforcing elements can also have a shaping effect on the shell, as they maintain the shape of the side of the shell to which they are attached, particularly when the interior of the shell is overfilled.

[0029] If necessary, the reinforcing elements are to be attached to two opposite sides of the shell in order to limit the distance between the two sides.

[0030] If necessary, it is provided that at least one positioning element is provided in the interior, and that the positioning element is designed for positioning, guiding and / or fastening the tension element and / or the reinforcement element in the interior.

[0031] This makes it possible to precisely position, guide, and / or fasten tension elements and / or reinforcement elements within the interior. The positioning element may be designed as a loop, such as a sling. Alternatively, the positioning element may be designed as a hook or similar feature.

[0032] If necessary, the casing is provided to have a positioning opening, and / or the tensioning element and / or the reinforcing element extend outwards through the positioning opening.

[0033] This allows the tension and / or strain of the tension element and / or the reinforcing element to be increased even from outside the casing or the furniture component. If necessary, it is provided that by tightening the outwardly extending part of the tension and / or reinforcing element, the tension and / or strain of the tension and / or reinforcing element can be increased inside. Thus, even after the furniture component has been moved from the filling position to the operating position, its properties can be changed and adjusted.

[0034] If necessary, it is provided that at least one locking element is arranged on the tensioning element and / or on the reinforcing element, and that the locking element is designed to fix the position of the tensioning element and / or the reinforcing element, whereby the tensioning element and / or the reinforcing element can be tensioned in the interior.

[0035] If necessary, the positioning opening is provided to include a locking element or to be formed from a locking element.

[0036] The locking elements allow the tensioning element and / or the reinforcing element to be fixed in a desired position. This may be intended to ensure that a desired tension of the tensioning element and / or the reinforcing element is achieved and maintained within the interior. The locking element can be located inside or outside the interior or the furniture component.

[0037] Optionally, the positioning opening itself may include or be formed from a locking element. This allows the tensioning element and / or the reinforcing element to be automatically fixed or held in a desired position when tensioned from the outside.

[0038] If necessary, the casing is provided for to be made of several materials or to comprise several materials.

[0039] This allows the cover to be precisely tailored to both the furniture component and its intended use. The cover may be made of a primarily flexible material, such as a woven fabric. Alternatively, the cover may also include or be made of elastic and / or inelastic materials.

[0040] If applicable, the furniture component is provided to include a cover surrounding the casing, and the cover is removable from the casing.

[0041] This allows the cover to be washed and / or cleaned separately from the shell, and also allows the cover of the furniture part to be replaced quickly and easily, making it easy and quick to change the color or design of the furniture part.

[0042] If necessary, a closing device, such as a zipper, drawstring, tunnel, drawstring or drawstring closure, is provided in the area of ​​the filling device and / or the filling opening.

[0043] If necessary, the filling opening of the cover is provided on an edge of the cover.

[0044] The filling device and / or the filling opening can be closed in various ways, such as with a zipper, drawstring, tunnel, ribbon, or drawstring closure. The filling opening of the cover may be located on one edge of the cover and, when filled, has an ellipsoidal shape.

[0045] In particular, the invention relates to a piece of furniture, especially soft furniture, which is formed from a described furniture part or comprises at least one described furniture part.

[0046] The furniture parts can form parts of the furniture, such as, in particular, an armrest, a seat or a backrest.

[0047] It may be intended that a piece of furniture includes the described furniture parts as well as conventional furniture parts. It may be intended that, for example, the seat, backrest, and / or armrests are formed from the described furniture parts or include at least one of the described furniture parts. It may be intended that, for example, the seat, backrest, and / or armrests are formed from conventional furniture parts or include conventional furniture parts.

[0048] According to the invention, the invention also relates to a method for setting up a piece of furniture, in particular a soft furniture part, which comprises the following steps: Completely filling the interior of a furniture component's casing with granules, filling a filling device arranged outside the interior, in particular a closable and bag-shaped one, with granules, thereby bringing the furniture component into its filling position, closing the filling device outside the interior, pressing and / or pushing the granule-filled filling device through a filling opening into the interior of the casing, thereby bringing the furniture component into its operating position, and, if necessary, closing the filling opening.

[0049] If necessary, it is provided that in the filling position at least one tension element and / or at least one reinforcement element arranged in the interior is essentially relaxed, and that by pressing and / or pushing the filling device filled with granules through the filling opening into the interior of the casing, the tension element and / or the reinforcement element is tensioned and / or elastically stretched.
