Abstract
A support for a piece of seating furniture provides an additional degree of freedom of movement. The support has a connecting unit fitted on a main body that connects to a supporting element of an underframe. The connecting unit has a mounting device for the supporting element, in particular a mount for the upper end of the supporting element. The connecting unit is fitted on the main body such that it is possible to alter the inclination of the main body relative to the supporting element. For that purpose the main body has a preferably convex contact base, which in the fitted state is contacted by a contact head of the connecting unit, with the abutment forming a non-planar contact rather than a contact over a surface area, in particular a punctiform contact.
Claims20
A support for seating furniture, comprising:
- a main body;
- a connecting unit fitted to said main body, said connecting unit being configured for connecting the support to a supporting element of an underframe and having a mount for the supporting element;
- said connecting unit being fitted on said main body to enable an inclination of said main body to be altered relative to the supporting element, wherein said main body has a contact base which, in a fitted state of said connecting unit, is in contact with a contact head of said connecting unit and abuts with said contact head at a given point forming a non-planar contact;
- and
- said connecting unit being arranged between said contact base and a closure cover of said main body, and said closure cover being fixed to said main body and closing off an accommodating space of said main body that accommodates said connecting unit at least partially.
A support for seating furniture, comprising:
- a main body;
- a connecting unit fitted to said main body, said connecting unit being configured for connecting the support to a supporting element of an underframe and having a mount for the supporting element;
- said connecting unit being fitted on said main body to enable an inclination of said main body to be altered relative to the supporting element, wherein said main body has a contact base which, in a fitted state of said connecting unit, is in contact with a contact head of said connecting unit and abuts with said contact head at a given point forming a non-planar contact;
- and
- a restoring arrangement with a plurality of restoring elements, wherein, upon an inclination of said main body relative to the supporting element, at least one of said restoring elements is activated by said connecting unit, in particular by the contact head;
- said connecting unit being fitted on said main body such that said restoring elements of said restoring arrangement are supported on said contact head of said connecting unit and on a support element that is fixed to said main body;
- said support element being a closure cover fixed to said main body and closing off an accommodating space of said main body that accommodates said connecting unit at least partially.

- said connecting unit being fitted on said main body to enable an inclination of said main body to be altered relative to the supporting element, wherein said main body has a contact base which, in a fitted state of said connecting unit, is in contact with a contact head of said connecting unit and abuts with said contact head at a given point forming a non-planar contact;
- and
- a blocking arrangement having a plurality of first blocking elements, said first blocking elements being transferable, by movement of at least one part of said blocking arrangement relative to the main body, from a functional position, in which the inclination of said main body relative to the supporting element is possible, into a blocking position, in which the inclination of said main body relative to the supporting element is not possible, and back into the functional position.
