  • Patent number: 9723926
    Abstract: A piece of seating furniture having a base and a seating unit, and a rotary mounting arrangement including a base-side bearing device and a seating-unit-side bearing device via which the seating unit is rotatable with respect to the base, and the rotary mounting arrangement has a switchable blocking device for blocking the rotatability of the bearing devices. The blocking device has two profiles including an inner profile attached to one of the two bearing devices in a rotationally fixed manner, and an outer profile attached to the other of the two bearing devices in a rotationally fixed manner. The outer profile and the inner profile are displaceable with respect to one another such that they are axially movable between an engaging relative position rotationally coupled in a form-fitting manner and a releasing relative position.

  • Patent number: 9192239
    Abstract: A seating furniture structure having a carrier unit and a seat part arrangement movably mounted relative to the carrier unit, and a leg rest arrangement with a guiding part and a support carriage displaceable relative to the guiding part by mechanical tension cord control system. The tension cord control system has a forced coupling to a pivot mechanism of the guiding part such that the support carriage is displaceable between different end positions relative to the guiding part in response to a pivot position of the guiding part. The tension cord control system includes adjacent deflection elements, wherein a tension cord of the tension cord control system is guided alternatingly deflected in opposite directions over the deflection elements, and a deflection element is dislocatably retained and is in operative connection to the pivot mechanism of the guiding part by a forced coupling unit.

  • Patent number: 8851563
    Abstract: Fitting system including base seat surface and leg support segments. The seat surface segment is displaceable in relation to the base segment, and the leg support segment is pivotable between a storage position and a use position, and wherein the relative positions of the seat surface and leg support segments with respect to the base segment are forcibly coupled to each other. The seat surface segment is connected to the base segment by a first bracket. The leg support segment is pivotable about a pivot axis fixed in position with respect to the base and leg support segments. The leg support segment is connected to the seat surface segment by a second bracket pivotable about a pivot axis on the leg support and seat surface segment sides.
