Description

GERMAN

A piece of furniture that can be converted from a seat into a lounger is upholstered furniture, often also called a sofa bed, on which you can sit and lie.

In order to sit perfectly, and really relax, you need someone who is slightly inclined backwards Seat with adjoining backrest, on the other hand a flat and horizontal surface for lying down.

According to known embodiments, this object is achieved in the form of a compromise in two ways.

If there is a backward-sloping seat connected to a backrest, pivot pins, hinges, universal joints, scissor _{lever pairs j} angle levers or the like are used to fold the backrest backwards, while at the same time the seat surface moves from the backward-sloping position to the horizontal position.

The main disadvantage here was that there was a joint slightly off the center of the lying surface, which is formed by the seat on the one hand and the backrest on the other hand and thereby at Lying down is unattractive and annoying.

If this joint is bypassed and an undivided seat is also used as a lying surface, the one restful sleep is guaranteed, then the inclined seat is missing to the rear, so that sitting in its correct function was not recognized and this main disadvantage appears.

There are also already from a piece of seating furniture with a backward sloping seat to a lounger with a horizontal one Reclining surface convertible furniture with one on a backward sloping base on the furniture base Applicable, known both the seat and the lying surface forming upholstery. However, these are more or less complicated additional facilities on the upholstery frame and on the furniture base required in order to make the cushion's horizontal lying position from the backward-sloping seat position of the cushion.

In contrast, the invention creates seating and reclining furniture in which neither a joint is available in the lying area, additional facilities of the aforementioned type are required. For this purpose, in the case of furniture of the last-mentioned type that can be converted from seating furniture into a lounger, according to the invention the upholstery lying loosely on the mat in both the sitting and lying position in the direction running from front to back in its seated position, it is tapered in such a way that that it is in the seated position, the backward sloping seat, on the other hand in the opposite by 180 ° around his If the lying position is rotated perpendicular to the tapering axis, the horizontal lying surface is obtained.

1 shows a schematic side view of the furniture for sitting and lying down in the sitting position and

2 shows a schematic side view of the furniture to sit and lie on in the lying position.

According to Fig. 1, the tapered pad is on the slightly backward sloping base of the Furniture base, whereby the inclined seat is achieved.

Fig. 2 shows the straight lying surface after the cushion has been rotated by 180 ° with a handle.

The tapering of the upholstery results in the following possibilities in the simplest way:

1. In the normal sitting position of the cushion, a backward-sloping seat surface is achieved.

2. When the upholstery is in the opposite position, a horizontal lying surface without joints is created achieved.

Since the upholstery rests loosely on the base of the furniture base, the desired Effect no lever arms, hinged scissors, pins, shafts and no additional equipment required to determine the sitting and lying position of the upholstery, which makes a much cheaper one Manufacture and simplest transformation of the furniture is achieved.
