Description

[0001] Seating furniture for children

[0002] DESCRIPTION

[0003] The present invention relates to a piece of seating furniture for children, in particular a high chair.

[0004] Various types of high chairs are already known from the state of the art, e.g.: foldable high chairs, high chairs in which the seat board is clamped (cf. DE 2421259 A1), and high chairs with easy-to-use adjustment options (cf. EP 3664665 A1).

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a flexible piece of seating for a child, in particular a high chair. One object of the present invention is an easy-to-use piece of seating for a child. An alternative or additional object of the invention is a cost-effective and safe piece of seating for a child. Another alternative or additional object of the invention is an ergonomic piece of seating for a child.

[0006] At least one of the above objects is achieved in particular by claim 1. At least one of the above objects is achieved according to a first aspect in particular by a piece of seating for children, in particular a high chair, wherein the seating comprises at least a first side part and a second side part, a connecting element and (at least) one support device (in particular for supporting the buttocks and / or the feet of the child). The support device can be adjustably arranged between the first side part and the second side part, and the connecting element connects the first and the second side parts to one another. The seating further comprises an adjusting device which likewise connects the first and the second side parts to one another and which can be transferred between a release position and a locking position, wherein the adjusting device, in the release position, locks the first and the second side parts (at least in sections orin at least one section) at a (relatively) wide distance from one another, and in the locking position, holds the first and second side parts (at least in sections or in said at least one section) at a (relatively) narrow distance from one another. A (maximum or maximum possible) difference between the wide distance and the narrow distance (change in distance) can be at least 0.2 cm, preferably at least 0.5 cm, optionally at least 1.0 cm and / or at most 5.0 cm.

[0007] In an advantageous embodiment, the support device is adjustable when the adjustment device keeps the first and the second side part at a wide distance from each other, while the support calibration device is not adjustable when the adjustment device keeps the first and the second side part at a close distance from each other.

[0008] It is not necessary for the wide distance in the release position to be significantly wider than the narrow distance in the locking position. As can be seen above and in the further course of the description, one aim of the distance change is in particular to clamp the support device between the side parts (if the distance is comparatively close) or not to clamp it (if the distance is comparatively wide). The distance at which the first and second side parts are held by the adjustment device should preferably be understood locally, i.e. in relation to the area in which the adjustment device connects the first and second side elements to one another. In another area of ​​the side elements, a different distance may exist, for example defined by the connecting element or by another adjustment element.With regard to the term "child", it should be noted that this is intended to include persons between the ages of 6 months and 10 years - in particular children who can already sit (or have just learned to sit) but are still too small to sit on an adult chair.

[0009] At least one of the above objects is achieved according to a second, independent aspect of the invention (which can preferably be combined with the first aspect), in particular by a piece of seating furniture for children, in particular a high chair, wherein the seating furniture comprises at least a first side part and a second side part, a connecting element, and a support device, wherein the support device can be adjustably arranged (or is arranged) between the first side part and the second side part, and wherein the support device can be adjusted at least between a first position and a second position. A positioning device is provided on the side parts for at least each of the first and second positions, wherein each of the positioning devices can comprise at least one slot, preferably exactly two slots, in particular one slot each on the first side element and on the second side element.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, at least one of the slots or at least one pair of slots is arranged continuously from back to front on one side of each of the first and second side parts, in particular on the respective inner side. More preferably, all slots or pairs of slots, or all slots or pairs of slots except for the uppermost slot or pair of slots, or the two uppermost slots or pairs of slots, can be designed accordingly.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the first position is located above the second.

[0012] At least one of the above objects is achieved according to an independent third aspect (which can preferably be combined with the first and / or second aspect), in particular by a piece of seating furniture for children, in particular a high chair, wherein the seating furniture comprises at least a first side part and a second side part, a connecting element and a support device, wherein the support device can be adjustably arranged between the first side part and the second side part, and wherein the support device can be adjusted at least between a first position and a second position. Preferably, the first position is located above the second position. The first position further comprises a stop and / or a locking mechanism (locking mechanism) of the support device, in particular in a position defined in all three spatial directions.

[0013] In one embodiment, the stop is configured such that a slot assigned to the first position or a corresponding pair of slots is not uniform across the entire local depth (extension from front to back) of the side part, but is, for example, tapered and / or flatter at a depth position and / or ends there and / or the like. Alternatively or additionally, a locking mechanism and / or a snap-in mechanism (and / or the like) can be configured at a specific depth position. This preferably enables positioning of the support device at a specific depth.

[0014] At least one of the above objects is achieved according to an independent fourth aspect (which can preferably be combined with the first and / or second and / or third aspects), in particular by a piece of seating furniture for children, in particular a high chair, comprising at least a first side part and a second side part, a connecting element, and a support device, wherein the support device is arranged or can be arranged between the first side part and the second side part. The seating furniture further comprises a standing frame which is pivotably arranged on one or more of the first and second side parts, the connecting element, and the support device, preferably on the first side part and the second side part. The standing frame is pivotable between a use position, in which it projects away from the first side part and the second side part, and a storage position, in which it projects closer to the first and second side parts.In the stowed position, the standing frame preferably rests predominantly at least substantially against the first and second side parts.

[0015] At least one of the above objects is achieved according to an independent fifth aspect (which can preferably be combined with the first and / or second and / or third and / or fourth aspect) in particular by a piece of seating furniture for children, in particular a high chair, comprising at least one first stand, preferably comprising a first / the first side part and / or a second / the second side part (optionally a connecting element and a support device, wherein the support device is arranged or can be arranged between the first side part and the second side part), at least one second stand, preferably comprising or formed by a standing frame, which is pivotally connected to the first stand, wherein the first and second stand are pivotable relative to one another between a use position in which they are spaced apart from one another and a storage position in which they are spaced less far apart from one another,wherein preferably an acoustic indicator device is provided which is designed to indicate the reaching of the use position by means of an acoustic signal, in particular a click signal, wherein the indicator device preferably comprises at least one metal part which strikes against another part to generate the acoustic signal and / or wherein the acoustic signal generates a sound pressure level of at least 50 dB and / or a weighted sound pressure level of at least 50 dB (A) at at least one point at a distance of 1.0 m from the seating furniture.

[0016] One idea of ​​the fifth aspect is to emit an acoustic signal, in particular a clicking sound, when the position of use is reached. This can easily reduce the risk of the seating being accidentally used in a position not intended for use, which can be associated with corresponding safety losses. Insofar as physical (or acoustic) quantities are mentioned below, these should preferably be measured at a distance of 1.0 meter from the seating. If different values ​​are obtained across the room, the entire room should be measured and, in particular, the maximum of the measured values ​​generated should be used. The sound pressure level is preferably at least 45 dB, more preferably at least 50 dB, even more preferably at least 55 dB, even more preferably at least 60 dB, possibly at least 65 dB and / or at least 70 dB.A maximum value for the sound pressure level can, for example, be at most 95 dB or at most 85 dB. The weighted sound pressure level can preferably be at least 45 dB(A), more preferably at least 50 dB(A), even more preferably at least 55 dB(A), even more preferably at least 60 dB(A), optionally at least 65 dB(A) and / or at least 70 dB(A). A maximum value for the weighted sound pressure level can, for example, be at most 95 dB(A) or at most 85 dB(A). The sound pressure level should preferably be determined according to the ISO 226 (2003) standard. The above letter A indicates the corresponding filter for a corresponding frequency weighting. The sound signal (or noise) can be a beep. Preferably, the sound signal comprises, and more preferably is, a clicking noise.Particularly preferably, the clicking sound is generated by two components striking each other, wherein one, preferably both, component(s) is / are made of metal. At least or exactly one of the components striking each other can be a section of a locking device, in particular a rotationally and / or translationally, preferably purely translationally, movable locking element (in particular the locking element explained below).

[0017] The first stand device can be a front stand device, and the second stand device a rear stand device. Alternatively, the first stand device can be a rear stand device and the second stand device a front stand device. In this respect, all embodiments explained below with regard to the structures relevant for pivoting (and / or noise generation) apply to both cases, unless otherwise indicated. In a specific embodiment, the first stand device can comprise a first side part and a second side part (in particular the above first side part and the above second side part) and the second stand device can comprise a standing frame (in particular the above standing frame).

[0018] The first stand device preferably comprises a guide device (in particular comprising a disc).

[0019] The piece of seating furniture preferably comprises a guide device (in particular comprising a disc) which can be connected (preferably firmly) to the first support device (in particular the first side part or front leg). The guide device can have a geometry that is at least partially circular (or a different geometry). The guide device can have a (preferably arcuate) elongated hole which, for example, extends over an angular range of at least 10° or at least 30° and / or at most 180° and / or forms a circular arc. The elongated hole can define a possible movement of the second support device relative to the first support device. For this purpose, a bolt can be (firmly) connected to the second support device and / or a / the bolt can be designed to slide within the elongated hole.

[0020] Furthermore, a latch can be moved into a locked position and an unlocked position relative to the first stand device (in particular the guide device). In the locked position, the latch can, for example, interact with a recess, in particular a recess on and / or in the guide device. In one embodiment, the recess is provided on an outer edge (in particular a circular edge) of the guide device.

[0021] Specifically, the bolt can be formed from at least one, preferably several, cylindrical section(s).

[0022] The latch may have a plurality of (preferably cylindrical) circumferential sections, wherein a larger circumferential section may be configured to cooperate with a corresponding complementary recess (for locking), and a smaller circumferential section may be provided to release the locking (in particular by axial displacement of the latch). In a specific embodiment, the smaller circumferential section borders on both sides on two larger circumferential sections, so that it can slide along the aforementioned outer edge (in particular, the circular edge), thus enabling pivoting.

[0023] The latch can be pre-tensioned by a spring (of the seating furniture) so that it is in the locked position (without external force) or is transferred into this position at least when the latch is positioned at the location of the corresponding recess. The latch is preferably manually operable (in particular, movable and / or rotatable), and according to the design, is exclusively (linearly) movable. For this purpose, the latch can have a (for example, integral) knob and / or a button and / or a lever and / or a pulling device.

[0024] Insofar as a smaller or larger circumferential section is concerned, the respective diameter (in the radial direction; diameter = distance between the pair of points with the greatest distance from each other) must be taken into account (for example, in the (circular) cylindrical case, the (circular) diameter).

[0025] The latch can be made of a metal and / or a plastic, preferably (optionally at least 90% by weight or at least substantially entirely) of metal. A preferably metallic stop part (metal part; optionally at least 90% by weight or at least substantially entirely of metal) can be assigned to the second stand device. Particularly preferably, as soon as the latch is in the position in which it slides or can slide into the recess, it strikes this stop part (metal part) with comparatively high force, resulting in a pronounced clicking sound. The stop part (metal part) can be (permanently) connected to the second stand device. The stop part (metal part) can have an elongated shape and at least one opening within which the latch can be displaced, at least in sections.The stop part (metal part) can be double-walled and accommodate the guide device (disc) at least in sections. The locking device can have a (particularly cylindrical) receptacle for receiving at least one end of the spring, so that the spring is stably positioned and guided. In an advantageous embodiment, the seating furniture further comprises a baby insert that enables or facilitates the accommodation of a baby (i.e., a child up to (approximately) one year old). The baby insert can be detachably fastened to the support device and to at least one of the connecting device and the first and second side parts.The baby insert preferably comprises at least two fastening elements that interact with at least two complementary elements on and / or on the support device and on and / or on the connecting device and / or the first and second side parts to fasten the baby insert. In particular, the at least two fastening elements are spaced apart from one another such that the baby insert can be fastened—preferably only—when the support device is in the first position, particularly preferably in the position defined by the stop and / or the locking mechanism. This provides the user with a simple and safe way of finding the suitable position for mounting the baby insert.

[0026] The baby insert can, for example, be the one used in German

[0027] This is the use described in utility model DE 202022100555. Reference is made to the structures disclosed therein. The structures therein are intended to be an optional part of the present disclosure by reference.

[0028] The seating furniture can (in at least one configuration, in particular the usage configuration) have a height of 60 cm - 90 cm, whereby the height can be predetermined at least substantially by the height of the first and second side elements. In some embodiments, however, the connecting element can also protrude beyond the first and second side elements. Alternatively or additionally, the width of the seating furniture can be 35 cm - 50 cm. The width can (in at least one configuration, in particular the usage configuration) be defined at least substantially by the width of the connecting element (or the sum of the width of the connecting element and the thickness of the side parts), whereby, depending on the embodiment, other parts can also contribute to the width. The depth of the seating furniture can (in at least one configuration, in particular the usage configuration) be 40 cm - 70 cm.It can be defined at least essentially by the standing surface of the seating furniture, for example by the surface spanned by the front legs (for example formed by the first and second side parts) and / or their foot parts and rear legs (for example the standing frame explained in more detail below).

[0029] The first and second side parts are preferably one-piece or multi-piece elements that form lateral regions of the seating furniture. The side parts can be the outermost elements of the seating furniture, but depending on the design, other parts can also be located even further out. The side parts can be designed as side cheeks, for example. Alternatively or additionally, they can be strut-like or at least comprise strut-like sections. The first and second side parts are preferably designed as left and right side parts. The first and second side parts should preferably be mirror-symmetrical to one another and / or at least substantially flat. In preferred designs, each of the first and second side parts runs at least substantially from a lower, front end of the seating furniture upwards and backwards, for example as a straight or curved strut.In some embodiments, the first and second side parts can form the front legs of the seating furniture. Foot parts can be provided at the lower ends of the first and second side parts, wherein the foot parts can be formed integrally (in particular monolithically or made from a single whole) with the respective side part or a part of the first or second side part, or alternatively as an additional part. The foot parts can be designed to enlarge the standing area and / or the floor contact area of ​​the seating furniture. The enlargement of the standing area and / or the floor contact area preferably occurs in a usage configuration of the seating furniture, for example in the usage position explained below.Alternatively or additionally, in some designs the footrests can increase the standing area and / or the floor contact area of ​​the seating furniture when not in use, for example in the stowed position explained in more detail below.

[0030] In one embodiment, the foot parts can be configured to extend at least substantially horizontally forward and / or backward from the respective lower end of the first and second side parts. According to the embodiment, the first and second side parts, together with the respective foot part, can have the shape of an upside-down "7," in particular so that no rear legs are necessary. In this case, additional support struts can be provided between the foot parts and an (approximately) central section (in terms of height) of the first and second side parts.

[0031] The connecting element connects the first and second side elements to one another. It preferably has a greater width (extension in the left-right direction) than its height and / or depth (extension in the front-back direction). Advantageously, the connecting element can be designed as a backrest or comprise such a backrest. In a preferred embodiment, it is integral (monolithic) and / or curved backwards. Preferably, it is connected to the first and second side elements in their upper half and / or to their lateral ends. In a preferred embodiment, the connecting element locally defines a fixed distance between the first and second side parts, whereby a distance between the first and second side parts can be different, in particular also variable, in other sections of the first and second side parts.It can be provided that the first and second side parts are sufficiently flexible to allow, starting from a fixed section defined by the connecting element (for example in the upper section of the first and second side parts), a distance that is variable by at least 2 cm or at least 1 cm or at least 0.5 cm in another section (for example in the lower section) of the first and second side parts. Alternatively or additionally, the connection between the connecting element and the first and second side parts can be such that an (at least slight) movement (in particular rotation) of the first and second side parts relative to the connecting element remains possible in order to allow a distance that is variable by at least 2 cm or at least 1 cm or at least 0.5 cm in another section (for example in the lower section) of the first and second side parts.In particular, the connection between the connecting element and the first and second side parts can comprise a deformable, preferably elastic, element which can deform under the action of a force in order to enable the slight movement (in particular rotation) of the first and second side parts relative to the connecting element.

[0032] The support device is preferably designed as a seat plate or comprises one. Alternatively or additionally, the support device can be designed as a foot plate or comprise one. In designs with a seat plate and foot plate, these can preferably be adjusted independently of one another, for example, with regard to the height of their arrangement relative to the first and second side parts and / or with regard to their position in the front-to-rear direction.

[0033] The support device can preferably be arranged adjustably between the first and second side parts. The support device can preferably assume at least a first position and a second position, more preferably a plurality of height positions and / or a plurality of depth positions. In advantageous embodiments, the height position can be discretely adjusted in at least 3 or at least 5 or at least 8 steps, additionally or alternatively in a maximum of 20 or a maximum of 12 or a maximum of 10 steps. The depth position can preferably be continuously adjusted within a predetermined range (for example, within a range predetermined by the length of slots in the positioning devices and the geometry of the support device). The adjustment device connects the first and second side elements to one another (detachably in some embodiments) and can be transferred between a release position and a locking position.In the locked position, the adjustment device holds the first and second side parts at a close distance from one another. The close distance can be at least substantially identical to the distance defined by the connecting element or (slightly) less than this (for example, at most 1 cm less or at most 0.5 cm less). In the released position, the adjustment device holds the first and second side parts at a wide distance from one another. The wide distance can be identical to the distance defined by the connecting element or slightly greater than this (for example, at most 1 cm greater or at most 0.5 cm greater). In some embodiments, the adjustment device can also be completely detached from the first and second side parts.

[0034] In advantageous embodiments, the seating furniture, as already explained, comprises positioning devices, which can preferably comprise one or more slots. In these embodiments, a positioning device can be formed by a pair of slots, wherein one slot can be formed on one side, in particular the inside, of the first side part and the other slot can be formed at the same height on one side, in particular the inside, of the second side part, thus creating a guide for the support device.

[0035] In these designs, the distance between the first and second side parts can be defined by the distance between the bottom surfaces of the slots in a pair of slots. When the adjustment device is in its release position, the distance between the bottom surfaces is sufficiently wide to allow the support device to slide in the slots of the pair of slots (but also narrow enough to prevent canting). This allows the support device to be inserted into one of the pairs of slots and positioned at a desired depth. By moving the adjustment device to the locking position, the distance between the first and second side parts is reduced, so that the support device is clamped between the slots in the adjusted position. This increases the overall stability of the seating furniture.

[0036] Preferably, the support device, particularly in the first position and in the second position, can be arranged or is arranged below the connecting element. Alternatively or additionally, the support device, particularly in the first position and in the second position, can be arranged or is arranged above the adjustment device. In some embodiments, all positions (with respect to their height) can be arranged or are arranged between the connecting element and the adjustment device, such that the connecting element and the adjustment device, together with the first and second side parts, form a frame in which the positions for the support device are arranged.

[0037] In some embodiments, two adjustment devices may be provided, particularly if the support device comprises a seat plate and / or a foot plate. In this case, the connecting element may be followed, viewed from top to bottom, by the positions for the seat plate, then an upper adjustment device, then the positions for the foot plate, and then a lower adjustment device.

[0038] Advantageously, the seat plate and foot plate are the same width, so that the positions of the foot plate are also suitable for the seat plate and vice versa.

[0039] In preferred embodiments, the adjustment device can be moved manually (without tools) between the release position and the locking position, so that, for example, no screwdriver, wrench, Allen key, or the like is required. For example, the adjustment device itself or a portion of the adjustment device (such as a handle or an actuating element) can be designed to be grasped and actuated by the user. Actuation can involve pushing, pulling, pushing, and / or turning (a portion of the adjustment device or the entire adjustment device).

[0040] In preferred embodiments, the adjustment device can be moved between the release position and the locking position with one hand, in particular by a single operation, preferably by rotation.

[0041] Advantageously, the adjustment device can be designed, at least in sections, as a rod (with a round or polygonal, in particular rectangular, cross-section) and / or extend between the first and second side parts (in particular up to the first or second side parts). Preferably, the adjustment device (the rod) can be rotated about its longitudinal axis to effect a transition between the locking position and the release position.

[0042] In a further embodiment, the adjustment device is connected or connectable at one end to the first side part and at its other end to the second side part, and preferably has a connecting mechanism at each of the two ends. The connecting mechanism can be designed (or comprise the equivalent), for example, as a thread and / or a bayonet lock and / or an eccentric and / or a clamping mechanism, preferably such that the same type of connecting mechanism is provided at both ends. According to the embodiment, a connecting mechanism can be provided only at one of the ends, while the other end is rotatably connected (around the longitudinal axis of the adjustment device) to the corresponding side part. The first and / or second side part are preferably equipped with matching counterparts for the respective connecting mechanism (for example, with an internal thread if the adjustment device has external threads).An exchange between the connecting mechanism of the adjustment device and the counterpart should also be included alternatively or additionally.

[0043] In an adjustment device with threads on both sides, the threads can preferably be counter-rotating, so that a rotation of the adjustment device around its longitudinal axis in one direction loosens both threads, and a rotation of the adjustment device around its longitudinal axis in the other direction tightens both threads. Bayonet locks and / or other connecting mechanisms can also be counter-rotating in a similar manner. Overall, this makes it possible to easily detach the adjustment device from the first and second side parts (if necessary, but not necessarily completely) with a single rotation of the adjustment device.

[0044] In general, therefore, starting from the release position, a rotation of the adjusting device, preferably about its longitudinal axis, in a first direction can pull the first side part towards one end of the adjusting device and at the same time the second side part towards the second end of the adjusting device, wherein starting from the locking position, a rotation of the adjusting device, preferably about its longitudinal axis, in a second direction opposite to the first direction can push the first side part away from one end of the adjusting device and the second side part away from the second end of the adjusting device.

[0045] The (respective) positioning device already mentioned can be formed by (or comprise) a slot, for example a milled slot, in the side parts, preferably on their inner sides. However, it is also possible to provide the (respective) slot by one or more (attached) elevations (for example strips), or by a combination of both. Preferably, the (respective) slot is continuous from front to back, so that a (respective) support device of suitable geometry can be inserted into the (respective) slot on one side and pushed out again on the other side. However, it is also possible for all or certain slots to be open only on one side (front or back) and closed on the other side, thus forming a stop.

[0046] At least one positioning device, preferably several positioning devices, possibly all positioning devices, can have a slot, preferably inclined backwards and downwards, preferably a slot inclined by 1° to 6°, in particular by 2° to 4°, relative to the horizontal, or can be formed from such a slot.

[0047] At least one / the positioning device of the second position can comprise an at least substantially horizontal slot, wherein at least one / the positioning device of the first position can comprise a slot inclined rearwardly compared to the slot assigned to the second position, preferably a slot inclined by 1° to 6°, in particular by 2° to 4°.

[0048] Once the slot is defined, particular attention must be paid to (at least) one configuration of use that is suitable for (safely) accommodating the child.

[0049] The (respective) slot can be aligned to enable a horizontal arrangement of the support device. Preferably, the (respective) slot itself can be aligned horizontally. Advantageously, a (respective) uppermost slot, for example the uppermost pair of slots, or the uppermost 2 to 4 pairs of slots, in particular one or more pairs of slots provided for a seat plate, can enable a slightly backwards inclined arrangement of the support device (in particular the seat plate). A slight backward inclination is to be understood in particular as an inclination of 1° to 6°, preferably 2° to 4°, for example 3°, such that a child properly picked up by the seating furniture tends to slide backwards (towards the connecting device or towards the backrest) due to the inclination when the seating furniture is on a horizontal surface. Overall, an ergonomic sitting posture can be promoted in a simple manner.

[0050] In general, the positioning devices can be designed such that the support device can be positioned by the positioning device, in particular pushed out of the slot, when the adjustment device is in the release position, and the support device cannot be positioned by the positioning device, in particular pushed out of the slot, when the adjustment device is in the locking position. This can be implemented, for example, by the slots already explained above.

[0051] Furthermore, the seating furniture can generally be designed such that the first side part and the second side part limit a movement of the support device in the lateral direction, and that the positioning device, in particular the slot or slots, limit a movement of the support device in the vertical direction, and that a movement of the support device forwards and / or backwards, in particular between the first side part and the second side part and / or along the slot or slots, is (only) possible when the adjusting device is in the release position.

[0052] In general, it may be provided that the first side part and the second side part clamp the support device when the adjusting device is in the locking position.

[0053] In some embodiments it can be provided that the positioning device belonging to the first position defines a first distance between the first side part and the second side part, and that the positioning device belonging to the second position defines a second distance between the first side part and the second side part, and that the second distance is different from the first distance. In particular the first position can be closer to the connecting element than the second position, and the second position can be closer to the adjusting element than the first position, and / or the second distance can be greater than the first distance. In this case the first distance and second distance are to be distinguished from the narrow distance and wide distance described above. While narrow and wide distance are assigned to the locking position and the release position of the adjusting device and are used for the selective fixing (clamping) or loosening of the locking position.To facilitate the release (for adjustment) of the support device, the first and second distances are intended to account for the different distances between the first position and the second position to the adjustment device, such that the distance farther from the adjustment device is slightly smaller than the second distance closer to the adjustment device. This is intended to prevent, for example, a situation where a foot plate (located close to the adjustment device) is already clamped while a seat plate (further from the adjustment device) is still movable (slidable).

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the first side element and the second side element can converge (slightly) from bottom to top, in particular including an angle with the vertical of at most 2°, and / or the slots of the positioning devices can be deeper the further they are away from the adjusting device.

[0055] In a further embodiment in which the seating furniture can assume a stowed position, the seating furniture is configured to stand independently on the first and second side parts or the foot parts arranged thereon, as well as on the upright frame in the stowed position. In particular, the center of gravity of the seating furniture can, in at least one configuration, be located above the surface defined by the first and second side parts or the foot parts arranged thereon, as well as the upright frame when the upright frame is in the stowed position.

[0056] In some designs in which the seating can assume a stowed position, a locking mechanism is provided between the upright frame, on the one hand, and the first and / or second side part, on the other. The locking mechanism is designed to hold the seating in the use position and / or to hold the seating in the stowed position. For this purpose, the locking mechanism can comprise a latch and a recess, wherein the latch is preferably preloaded, for example by means of a spring, to engage in the recess when the seating is in the use position or in the release position.

[0057] Preferably, the locking device further comprises an actuating element which is arranged either on the standing frame or on the first and / or second side part (preferably on the element on which the bolt is also movably arranged), wherein the actuating element is provided to be (manually) actuated by a user and to move the bolt (against the force of the pretension, in particular spring) out of the recess.

[0058] In some designs where the seating can be stored, the pivoting movement between the upright frame and the first and / or second side panel can be limited by a stop. Preferably, one stop is provided in the stored position and another stop is provided in the in-use position.

[0059] In an advantageous embodiment, a further option for positioning the support device is provided, such that the support device interacts directly or indirectly with one or more of the first and second side parts, the connecting element, and the adjustment device, so as to be arranged not horizontally, but, for example, at least substantially vertically. For this purpose, the support device can preferably be attached or attachable to the first side part and / or the second side part and / or the connecting element and / or the adjustment device and / or the support frame by means of a plug-in connection and / or a locking connection and / or a snap-in connection.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, it can be provided that the support device is completely detached from the first and second side part (in particular is pulled out of the (respective) slot), and then (in any order) the support device is arranged (in particular fastened) in a vertical orientation on one of the said elements and the standing frame is transferred into the stowed position.

[0061] The upright frame can generally be U-shaped (i.e. in particular with left and right side struts and a lower connection) or H-shaped (i.e. in particular with left and right side struts and a connection centrally located in terms of height) or X-shaped or rectangular (i.e. in particular with left and right side struts and a lower connection and an upper connection) or in a variation of the aforementioned shapes.

[0062] In preferred embodiments in which the seating furniture can assume a stowed position, the pivot connection is arranged below the connecting element. Alternatively or additionally, the pivot connection is arranged above the uppermost position intended for the support device or above the uppermost positioning element or the uppermost positioning device. The upright frame can be pivoted, in particular, about its upper end.

[0063] The pivot connection can, for example, be designed as a simple joint on the side panels and upright frame. However, a (roughly) T-shaped connecting piece can also be provided on each side, with the crossbar firmly connected to the respective side panel and the stem pivoted to the upright frame at its distal section. Other articulated connections are also possible.

[0064] In general, the upright frame may have one or more foot parts and / or one or more crossbars at its lower end. Alternatively or additionally, the lower ends of the first and second side parts may each have one or more of the previously described foot parts and / or be connected by one or more crossbars.

[0065] The connection between the connecting element and the first and second side parts can be made, for example, by screwing and / or riveting and / or gluing and / or using clamps. Other individual parts can also be assembled to form elements of the seating furniture in the same or a similar way. It is also possible for several elements, for example, side parts and connecting elements, to be manufactured together in a single process, for example, by injection molding.

[0066] In general, the components of the seating furniture can be made of wood, plastic, and / or metal, for example. Preferably, at least one (respective) support device is configured with lateral indentations (particularly in a central region of the respective side) and / or with lateral projections (particularly at both ends of the respective side), preferably such that, in at least one state of the seating furniture, the respective support device, in particular in an at least substantially horizontal orientation, cannot be removed from an associated side part, at least not in the horizontal direction.

[0067] It should be noted that methods for adjusting, configuring, and using the seating furniture resulting from the description are also claimed. Functional features and / or intended uses can be implemented as corresponding method steps.

[0088] In the following description, the same reference numerals are used for identical features with identical functions. Fig. 1 shows a piece of seating furniture (10) designed as a high chair, comprising first and second side parts (11, 12) that define the high chair to the right and left. The first and second side parts can be connected at their upper ends (at a fixed distance) by a connecting element (13) designed as a backrest or encompassing one. The backrest can be curved backwards and can be connected at its lateral ends to the first and second side parts (11, 12).

[0089] The inner sides of the first and second side parts (11, 12) can be provided with a number of positioning elements (30) designed as slots (31), wherein a support device (14) designed as a seat plate can be provided in the uppermost pair of slots and / or a support device (14) designed as a foot plate can be provided in a lower pair of slots. In particular, an upper adjustment device (21) and / or (further below) a lower adjustment device (22) can be formed directly below the foot plate, wherein further pairs of slots can be provided between the upper and lower adjustment devices (21, 22). The upper and lower adjustment devices each form an adjustment device, which is also designated below by the reference numeral 20, in particular when a distinction between upper and lower adjustment devices is not important in the respective context.

[0090] A standing frame (40) can be hinged with its upper end between the connecting element (13) and the uppermost pair of slots via a pivot connection (42).

[0091] The upright frame may have side struts, a central cross strut and a lower cross bar (41).

[0092] As can be seen, the seat plate and foot plate can also be arranged in lower-lying slot pairs, in particular such that the seat plate is arranged above the upper adjustment device (21) and the foot plate is arranged between the upper and lower adjustment devices (21, 22).

[0093] The seating furniture disclosed in Fig. 2 is shown in a sectional view from the front above along the first and second side parts, so that the connecting mechanisms of the adjustment device (20) can be seen. The adjustment device (20), first and second side parts (11, 12) and support elements (14) are arranged as in Fig. 1. The connecting element (13) is not visible in this illustration. The enlargement shows the connecting mechanism of the adjustment device (20) in detail, here using the example of the lower adjustment device (22). At the end of the adjustment device there can be an external thread (with a smaller diameter than the rest of the adjustment element), which can be connected to an internal thread (as a counterpart to the external thread) located in a recess on the inside of the second side element (12).The adjustment device is here in the locking position and the end of the lower adjustment device (22) is accommodated in the recess.

[0094] Fig. 3 shows a sectional view similar to the view disclosed in Fig. 2. With regard to the upper and lower adjustment devices (21, 22), arrows illustrate how the transfer of the upper and lower adjustment devices (21, 22) between the release position and the locking position takes place by rotating the respective adjustment device (with an axis of rotation aligned along its longitudinal direction). In the enlargement, the lower adjustment device (22) can now be seen in the release position. The external thread of the lower adjustment device (22) and the internal thread of the second side part (12) are turned less far into one another, so that the end of the lower adjustment device (22) is only just received in the recess.

[0095] Fig. 4 shows an oblique view of a piece of seating furniture that largely corresponds to the seating furniture in Fig. 1. However, as shown on the left side, the adjustment devices (21, 22) are now in the release position, as indicated by the arrows on the lower adjustment device (22). This allows both the seat plate and the foot plate to be pushed into or pulled out of one of the pairs of slots, as indicated by the corresponding arrows.

[0096] Fig. 5 shows the seating furniture from Fig. 4, wherein the standing frame (40) is now folded towards the first side part (11) and the second side part (12) and is in the stowed position.

[0097] Figures 6 and 7 disclose how the (respective) support device (14), starting from a configuration in which the support device (14) is completely detached from the positioning elements (30) (in a vertical orientation), can be (further) inserted between the first and second side parts (11, 12) (Fig. 6) in order to be positioned there when the standing frame (40) is in the stowed position (Fig. 7).

[0098] Fig. 8 shows a highly schematic illustration of one possible way of attaching a support device (14) in a vertical position to an adjustment device (20) by means of a hook (17) that is slid over the adjustment device (20). Alternatively or additionally, the center of gravity of the support device (14) can be arranged below the hook (17), so that the support device (14) is (also) held in the vertical position by gravity.

[0099] Fig. 9 shows a piece of seating furniture in a sectional view. Shown are a first side part (11), a connecting element (13), and upper and lower adjustment devices (21, 22). Support devices (14) (in the form of a seat plate and foot plate) are positioned by positioning devices (30), more precisely by slots (31) in positions as shown in Fig. 1. The seating furniture further comprises a standing frame (40), in particular with a central cross brace and / or lower crosspiece (41). The slots (31) below the upper adjustment device (21) and the slot (31) in which the foot plate is positioned are aligned horizontally. In contrast, the slots above are aligned at a (slightly) backward inclined angle α (alpha), so that the seat plate is also (slightly) backward inclined.

[0100] Fig. 10 shows a sectional view of a piece of seating furniture. It shows a first side part (11), a connecting element (13), and upper and lower adjustment devices (21, 22). A support device (14) is positioned by a positioning device (30), more precisely by a slot (31). (As in Fig. 9, the second side part (12) is preferably also provided with corresponding positioning means (30) for positioning the support device (14), which would not be visible here due to the sectional view.)

[0101] The upper enlargement of Fig. 10 also shows a sectional view of the top three slots (31) of the first side part (11). It can be seen that the second and third highest slots are continuous (here: from right to left), whereas the top slot ends at a distance x in front of the front (here: left) edge of the first side part (11) and is not continuous. This is even more clearly seen in the lower enlargement in an oblique view. Accordingly, the support device (14) can be pushed into this slot from behind until it stops at the end of the slot. This enables the support device to be positioned in all three directions of the room.

[0102] Fig. 11 shows another sectional view of an upper section of the seating furniture. It shows the upper section of a first side part (11), a connecting element (13) designed as a backrest, a support device (14) designed as a seat plate, and a baby insert (15). The baby insert has connecting devices for connecting to the underside of the seat plate and to the back of the backrest. Since the baby insert is not adjustable according to the design, a comparatively precise positioning of the seat plate relative to the backrest (both in height and depth) is required.

[0103] Fig. 12 shows, on the left-hand side, a highly schematic view of a piece of seating furniture with first and second side struts (11, 12) and with a standing frame (40) pivotally mounted on the first and second side parts by means of an approximately T-shaped element, in the use position. The right-hand side shows a view of the same seating furniture in the stowed position, for which the standing frame (40) has been rotated about the pivot connection 42. The entire seating furniture has been erected so that (due to the correspondingly determined position of the center of gravity) it can stand independently (on the first and second side parts (11, 12) and the standing frame (40)) even in the stowed position. A horizontal floor has also been drawn for clarity.

[0104] Fig. 13 shows a highly schematic view of a piece of seating furniture (10) with first and second side parts (11, 12), each of which is connected to a foot part (16).

[0105] Fig. 14 shows a highly schematic representation of a seating furniture item (10) with first and second side parts (11, 12) and a standing frame (40) in the stowed position. Both the first and second side parts (11, 12) and the standing frame (40) have foot parts (16) that increase the standing area of ​​the seating furniture in the stowed position.

[0106] A further aspect of the disclosure is illustrated by the schematic Figure 15. As shown in Fig. 15, the (respective) support device (14) can be formed with lateral indentations (43) (particularly in a central region of the respective side) and / or with projections (44) (particularly at the two ends of the respective side). In general, known support devices have at least substantially straight side edges in plan view, so that the seat depth can be adjusted. The indentations in the central region (or the projections at the front and rear ends of the sides of the support devices) can enable the seat depth to be adjusted without having to accidentally remove the support device completely from the chair and first thread it back on (at least the risk of this is reduced).

[0107] If the seat depth needs to be adjusted, the adjustment mechanism can preferably be moved to a partially released position. Alternatively or additionally, to change the height position, the adjustment mechanism can preferably be opened further, i.e., moved to the "true" released position.

[0108] Figures 16 to 20 show an embodiment of a locking mechanism for locking (a rotational position) a side leg (11) (or a corresponding front leg) relative to a standing frame (40) (or a corresponding rear leg).

[0109] Fig. 16 shows a guide device, in particular a disc, (45), which can be (fixedly) connected to a corresponding side part, in particular a front leg, (11). The guide device (45) can have an (arc-shaped) elongated hole (46). The elongated hole (46) can define a possible movement of the upright frame (40) or a corresponding rear leg (wherein a bolt (57) in the elongated hole can be assigned to the upright frame or rear leg).

[0110] A latch (47) (see Fig. 17) can be pressed against a spring (48) to unlock the support device (front leg) from the upright frame (rear leg). The guide device (45) has a recess (49) at its edge, which defines an unfolded position.

[0111] Figure 17 shows that a (larger or enlarged) peripheral portion (50) of the latch (47) engages the recess (49) of the guide device (45). According to Figure 18, another (smaller) peripheral portion (51) of the latch (47) can allow sliding along the edge of the guide device (45) (when a button (58) is pressed in).

[0112] As illustrated in Fig. 19, a clicking noise may occur when the latch (47) engages in the recess (49) by the spring (48) pushing it upwards (in the figure) so that it strikes against a metal part (52)

[0113] Figure 20 shows the guide device (45), the knob (58), and the metal part (52). The guide device (45) is (fixedly) connected to the side part (11) or (12) (or the respective front leg), while the metal part (52) is (fixedly) connected to the standing frame (40). Specifically, the metal part (52) can be connected to a connecting part (60), in particular an elongated one, which can also be made of metal. The metal part (52) and the connecting part (60) can form a (single-piece or multi-piece), in particular an elongated, common metal part.

[0114] The metal part (52) can be formed separately from the connecting part and / or form a ring or an annular disc, in particular with a circumferential step in the region of the inner diameter. The connecting part can be integrated into the standing frame (40) (or the respective corresponding rear leg), in particular (partially) embedded therein (and move together with it).

[0115] At this point, it should be noted that all parts described above, viewed individually and in any combination, particularly the details shown in the drawings, are claimed as essential to the invention. Modifications to these are familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0116] Furthermore, it is pointed out that the broadest possible scope of protection is sought. In this respect, the disclosure contained in the claims can also be clarified by features that are described with further features (even without these further features being mandatory). It is explicitly pointed out that parentheses and the term "in particular" are intended to emphasize the optionality of features in the respective context (which does not mean, conversely, that without such identification, a feature is to be considered mandatory in the corresponding context). The term "element / elements" should preferably characterize a coherent structure, which in turn can be connected to at least one other structure (to form a possibly integral and / or inherently immobile overall structure) or can be delimited from all other structures.
