Abstract: A locking device for furniture, in particular for furniture which may be adjusted by rotation of a furniture section is provided. The locking device includes an axle which is rotatable for adjusting the furniture and which has an engagement recess limited to an angular segment about the axle. The locking device further includes a blocking element which is configured for rotational blocking of the axle by engaging in the engagement recess. The locking device further includes a support bearing which is configured to support the blocking element in a fixed rotational manner about the axle. The locking device further includes an adjusting ring rotating about the axle, which has a contoured recess for radial adjustment of the blocking element within the support bearing upon rotation of the adjusting ring about the axle. The blocking element is engageable in the engagement recess by the radial adjustment, so that the axle is lockable rotationally with the support bearing via the blocking element.

Abstract: A chair, such as a conference or office chair, includes a seat support; a backrest support; a storage member formed as a force storage element; and a transmission coupling the seat support with the backrest support which allows a pivoting of the backrest support and the seat support between an upright position and a backwardly pivoted position according to a predetermined sequence of movements. The force storage element is coupled with the seat support and the backrest support such that the predetermined sequence of movements is facilitated and the storage member provides a force restoring in the upright position and wherein the flexibly elastic storage member forms in conjunction at least with a first articulated rotation point of the transmission a kinematic chain.

Abstract: A table system including at least one primary module and at least two secondary modules. The primary module includes a tabletop plate and a plurality of crossbars disposed parallel to each other and secured to the underside of the tabletop plate. A secondary module comprises a table leg having an upper end and a plurality of interlocking and bracing mechanisms disposed at the upper end of the table leg.

Abstract: A chair is provided which has a tiltable seat carrier and a tiltable backrest on the backrest carrier which are forcibly coupled to one another, and which has an individual adjustment feature for the tilt of the seat carrier in relation to the backrest carrier. Provided on the underside of the seat carrier is a bearing block having a slideway contour and a vertical slot in which the flange of a lifting element is mounted vertically movably, wherein the lifting element has a substantially triangular collar which slides on the substantially rectangular slideway contour when the flange moves vertically. The tilt of the seat carrier can be adjusted to be steeper or flatter by turning the lifting element, and the limit positions are completely stable such that the possibility of automatic unlocking is eliminated.

Abstract: The invention provides an improvement to a chair which has a tiltable seat carrier (1) and a tiltable backrest (2) on the backrest carrier (5) which are forcibly coupled to one another, and to an individual adjustment of the tilt of the seat carrier (1) in relation to the backrest carrier (5). The improvement consists in the fact that there is provided on the underside of the seat carrier (1) a bearing block (10) having a slideway contour (14) and a vertical slot (13) in which the flange (9) of a lifting element (7) is mounted vertically movably, and the lifting element (7) has a substantially triangular collar (12) which slides on the substantially rectangular slideway contour (14) when the flange (9) moves vertically. This means that the tilt of the seat carrier (1) can be adjusted to be steeper or flatter by turning the lifting element (7), and the limit positions are completely stable. The possibility of automatic unlocking is ruled out.

Abstract: The backrest of a chair comprises a frame, a backrest support and a neck support. A membrane is clipped into the frame, and the backrest support is articulated on a tilting mechanism. The frame comprises two side parts and two cross-pieces, the lower cross-piece lying at the height of the user's lumbar vertebra. The frame and the backrest support are interconnected in one piece. The component created as a result is advantageously a plastic injection molding produced by the gas injection technique (GIT) and the plastic is a glass-fiber-reinforced polyarylamide. This overall structure of the backrest provides a high level of sitting comfort by elastic support of the back in all major regions and directions of movement, but at the same time also considerably reduces production, transport and assembly complexity and has an aesthetically impressive, distinctive form.

Abstract: A chair, such as a swivel chair for the office, has an armrest that is made up of an armrest carrier, which includes a carrier and a sleeve sliding thereon and attached to the seat at the bottom by a seat flange which can be displaced transversely to the seat direction, and of an arm support, which can be displaced longitudinally via a guide and can be rotated via a rotary part mounted in a rotary bearing. The guide is arranged parallel, but eccentrically in relation, to the axis of symmetry of the arm support. Since the rotatability of the arm support is at least 1800, it is possible to set different clear distances between the two arm supports of the chair.

Abstract: A component for a stackable chair comprises a cuboidal basic body (1) which has two leg stubs (2, 3) on one longitudinal side and two crossmember stubs (4, 5) on its other longitudinal side. The two ends (6, 7) of the basic body (1) are bevelled in the forward and rearward directions at the sides, and noses (8, 9) which run parallel to the leg stubs (2, 3) are provided on the underside of the basic body (1), and channels (10, 11) are provided above the noses (8, 9), on the top side. The chair comprises two identical components of this type. If such a chair is stacked vertically on another, identical chair, then the bevelled ends (6, 7) of the basic body (1) have a centring effect and bring the chair into the correct position, with the result that the noses (8, 9) on the chair stubs (2, 3) enter into the channels (10, 11) on the top side of the basic body of the lower chair.

Abstract: In a neck support for a chair, a head cushion is articulated, via an articulation bearing, on a guide sleeve displaced on a retaining bar, articulated on the top edge of a backrest via a further articulation bearing, the retaining bar and the guide sleeve being of rectilinear design, this resulting in linear height adjustability of the neck support. The bottom articulation bearing and preferably also the top articulation bearing each comprise a cylinder on the retaining bar and two cylinders on a bearing foot or on a link plate, it being possible for the first cylinder to rotate in a controlled manner between the two second cylinders via blocks.

The height and angle of the work surface are adjustable. A joint seating device is provided on an upper end of the central column and a swivel arm is arranged in a pivoting manner about a horizontal axis of the joint seating device. The swivel arm contains another rotary joint, about whose horizontal axis the support element and the work surface connected with it are arranged in a pivoting manner.

Abstract: In the case of a chair with adjustable seat depth, the seat comprises a rigid supporting panel (1) and a single-piece, longitudinally flexible seat panel (2) which bears the seat cushion (3) and is connected in a longitudinally displaceable manner to the supporting panel (1). The longitudinal displaceability is achieved by providing guide strips (6) mounted in guideways (4) on the top side of the seat panel (2), the guide strips being fastened on the supporting panel (1) via screws (7), and the screws (7) passing through slots (5) on the base of the guideways (4). The supporting panel (1) is advantageously designed as a frame and consists of cast aluminium, and the seat panel (2) consists of polypropylene. This achieves an optimum sliding pairing.
