Abstract

A piece of furniture consisting of movable frame parts and a seat cushion articulated thereon and a rigidly fixed cushion element is so designed that it can be used in one working position as a chair and in the other working position as a kneeling chair.

Die beiden Tragelemente sind über diesen Kreuzungspunkt hinaus verlän­ gert, am freien Ende des einen Tragelements ist das Rücken- bzw. Knie-Polsterelement und am freien Ende des anderen Tragelements die Sitzfläche befestigt. Die beiden Tragele­ mente können in ihrer Neigung verstellt werden, wobei sich der Kreuzungspunkt verschiebt und die beiden möglichen Be­ nutzungsarten ergeben.

Eine Sitzfläche 2 ermöglicht durch umstellbare Befesti­ gung die Sitz- bzw. Kniestellung. Dazu ist die Sitzfläche 2 an einem ersten Drehpunkt 8 (Fig. 2) schwenkbar gelagert.A seat 2 enables the seat or knee position by convertible fastening. For this purpose, the seat surface 2 is pivotally mounted at a first pivot point 8 ( FIG. 2).

Die Umstellung zwischen den beiden Benutzungspositionen wird durch Umklappen einer Strebe 3 erreicht, deren eines Ende an der Sitzfläche 2 um einen zweiten Drehpunkt 9 beweg­ lich befestigt ist. Die Strebe 3 verhindert in der Sitzpo­ sition das Zuirückkippen des Möbels nach hinten. Dazu rastet die Strebe 3 in der Sitzposition mit einer Stelle 5 in ihrem mittleren Abschnitt an einem Anschlag 6 ein, der sich am Möbelgestell befindet.The changeover between the two use positions is achieved by folding down a strut 3 , one end of which is fastened to the seat surface 2 by a second pivot point 9 .
