Abstract
An item of seating furniture including a base, a seat unit with a seat surface, and a leg unit moveable in relation to the seat unit and having a leg support surface. The leg unit is displaceable via a movement mechanism between a storage position wherein the leg support surface is arranged under the seat unit and a use position wherein the leg support surface is arranged in front of the seat unit. The movement mechanism has an intermediate support displaceable via a pivoting guide, wherein the pivoting guide has a pivot lever between the intermediate support and the seat unit or the base, and the movement mechanism has a guide with a sliding member. The sliding member is guided on the intermediate support, and the leg unit is attached to the sliding member.
Claims26
An item of seating furniture comprising:
- a base fixed in position during use of the item of seating furniture;
- a seat unit with a seat surface;
- a leg unit moveable in relation to the seat unit and having a leg support surface;
- and
- a backrest unit operationally coupled to movement of the seat unit in relation to the base;
- wherein the leg unit is displaceable by a movement mechanism between a storage position, in which the leg support surface is arranged under the seat unit, and a use position, in which the leg support surface is arranged in front of the seat unit, wherein:
- the movement mechanism is designed for transferring the leg unit from the storage position, in which the leg support surface is oriented substantially horizontally, into the use position, in which the leg support surface is likewise oriented substantially horizontally,
- the movement mechanism has an intermediate support which is displaceable in relation to the seat unit or the base by a pivoting guide, wherein the pivoting guide has at least one first pivot lever between the intermediate support and the seat unit or the base,
- the movement mechanism has a sliding guide with a sliding member, wherein the sliding member is guided in a translatory manner on the intermediate support, and wherein the leg unit is attached to the sliding member, and
- the first pivot lever has a first pivot axis positionally fixed relative to the intermediate support and a second pivot axis positionally fixed relative to the seat unit or the base.
A fitting system for an item of seating furniture, comprising:
- a base, a seat unit, a leg unit and a backrest support operationally coupled to movement of the seat unit relative to the base, the fitting system being designed for displacing the leg unit between a storage position, in which the leg unit is arranged under the seat unit, and a use position, in which the leg unit is arranged in front of the seat unit, wherein the fitting system has a movement mechanism designed for attaching to the base or the seat unit, on the one hand, and the leg unit, on the other hand, wherein
- the movement mechanism is designed for transferring the leg unit from the storage position, in which the leg unit is oriented substantially horizontally, into the use position, in which the leg unit is likewise oriented substantially horizontally,
- the movement mechanism has an intermediate support which is displaceable in relation to a seat-unit-side fastening section or a base-side fastening section by a pivoting guide, wherein the pivoting guide has at least one first pivot lever between the intermediate support and the seat-unit-side fastening section or the base-side fastening section of the base,
- the movement mechanism has a sliding guide with a sliding member, wherein the sliding member is guided in a translatory manner on the intermediate support, and wherein a leg-unit-side fastening section is attached to the sliding member, and
- a same side of the leg unit faces upwardly in both the storage position and the use position.
