  • Patent number: 8764112
    Abstract: Seating furniture including a base fixed in position during use, 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 by a movement mechanism between a storage position and a use position. The movement mechanism transfers the leg unit from the storage position into the use position, and has an intermediate support displaceable in relation to the seat unit or the base by a pivoting guide. The pivoting guide has a first pivot lever between the intermediate support and the seat unit or the base, and the movement mechanism has a sliding guide with a sliding member guided in a translatory manner on the intermediate support, and the leg unit is attached to the sliding member.

  • Patent number: 8069645
    Abstract: The invention relates to a link chain having two or more rows of chain elements, wherein the chain elements of one row are rotatably connected to those of the adjacent row in the chain plane in such a way that each chain element has two rotational axes, of which in each case one of the two rotational axes belongs to two different chain elements in adjacent rows, and that the chain elements of one row are connected to one another by means of toothed devices at their ends in such a way that the chain is flexible in the chain plane. The chain elements at one end of the link chain are likewise provided, at their outer side, with a toothed device, which is in engagement with an actuator. The actuator is a pneumatic actuator, a hydraulic actuator, an electromotive actuator or a manual drive actuator. The actuator may have a latching fitting, wherein the latching fitting is provided with a toothed surface that is in engagement with a toothed surface of a chain element in one row.

  • Patent number: 7918496
    Abstract: Armchair with a seat surface and a leg rest which can be pivoted out, wherein the armchair can be pivoted between a sitting position and a reclining position, for which purpose the seat surface can be displaced to the rear in relation to a fixed frame and is articulated in the front region via erecting levers. The leg rest is coupled to the seat surface in such a manner that it is pivoted when the seat surface is displaced to the rear. The leg rest is connected to the erecting levers by a first sliding mounting and is articulated on the fixed frame by a second sliding mounting. The first sliding mounting is connected pivotably to the second sliding mounting, and the second sliding mounting is configured in such a manner that its orientation changes during the pivoting operation.
