Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Sitzmöbel, insbesondere in Hockerform, mit einem sich am Boden abstützenden Gestell vorgegebener Gestellhöhe und wenigstens einer daran befestigten Sitzfläche für wenigstens eine Person.The invention relates to a piece of seating furniture, in particular in the form of a stool, with a frame which is supported on the floor and has a predetermined frame height and at least one seat surface attached thereto for at least one person.

Derartige Sitzmöbel sind als Hocker in der Gastronomie, Warteräumen, Büros, aber auch im Wohn- und Haushaltsbereich üblich. Neben der starren, nicht höhenverstellbaren Ausführung, beispielsweise als Barhocker sind derartige Hocker häufig mittels einer aus Bürostühlen bekannten Gasfeder höhenverstellbar, wobei jedoch die Höheneinstellung im unbelasteten Zustand des Sitzmöbels erfolgen muß. Darüberhinaus ist von Klavierhockern bekannt, daß die Höheneinstellung durch Verdrehen der Sitzfläche mittels einer Gewindespindel vorgenommen werden kann. Auch hierbei ist die Höheneinstellung nur im unbelasteten Zustand möglich, da sich ansonsten die Person mehrfach um die Hochachse drehen müßte, um eine Höhenverstellung im nennenswerten Maße durchführen zu können.Seating of this type is common as a stool in restaurants, waiting rooms, offices, but also in the living and household areas. In addition to the rigid, not height-adjustable version, for example as a bar stool, such stools are often height-adjustable by means of a gas spring known from office chairs, but the height adjustment must be carried out in the unloaded state of the seating furniture. In addition, it is known from piano stools that the height can be adjusted by turning the seat surface by means of a threaded spindle. Here, too, the height adjustment is only possible in the unloaded state, since otherwise the person would have to turn several times around the vertical axis in order to be able to carry out a significant height adjustment.

Derartige Sitzmöbel, insbesondere in Hockerform, beispielsweise in der Ausführung als Barhocker in der Gastronomie oder im Dienstleistungsbereich, wie beispielsweise in einem Schuhgeschäft, sind daher häufig auf eine Durchschnittsgröße angelegt, so daß sehr kleine Personen oder sehr große Personen auf dem Sitzmöbel nur relativ unbequem Platz nehmen können. Zudem sind die relativ hohen Barhocker für körperbehinderte Personen, insbesondere Rollstuhlfahrer, kaum zu erreichen, da das Platznehmen und der Platzwechsel ohne fremde Hilfe kaum möglich ist.Seating of this type, in particular in the form of a stool, for example in the form of a bar stool in the catering trade or in the service sector, for example in a shoe store, is therefore often of an average size, so that very small people or very tall people have only relatively uncomfortable space on the seating can take. In addition, the relatively high bar stools for physically handicapped people, especially wheelchair users, can hardly be reached, since it is hardly possible to take a seat and change seats without outside help.

Darüberhinaus besteht bei derartigen Sitzmöbeln in Hockerform der Nachteil, daß mitgeführte Utensilien, wie Handtaschen nach dem Platznehmen oft in der Hand gehalten werden müssen, so daß ebenfalls eine relativ verkrampfte, auf Dauer unbequeme Sitzhaltung eingenommen wird. Zudem werden Bekleidungsstücke oft nur über den Sitzhocker gelegt und dann darauf Platz genommen, so daß diese Kleidungsstücke zerknittert werden.In addition, there is the disadvantage with such seating in stool form that carried utensils, such as handbags, often have to be held in the hand after taking a seat, so that a relatively cramped, permanently uncomfortable sitting posture is also assumed. In addition, items of clothing are often just placed over the stool and then sat on it so that these clothes are crumpled.

Demzufolge liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Sitzmöbel, insbesondere in Hockerform zu schaffen, wodurch eine bequemere Sitzhaltung und Nutzung des Sitzmöbels erreicht wird.Accordingly, the object of the invention is to create seating furniture, in particular in the form of a stool, whereby a more comfortable sitting posture and use of the seating furniture is achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Sitzmöbel gemäß den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1. Von besonderer, eigenständiger Bedeutung ist hierbei die Ausführung des Sitzmöbels gemäß den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 8.This object is achieved by a piece of seating furniture according to the features of patent claim 1. The design of the seating furniture according to the features of patent claim 8 is of particular, independent importance.

Durch die Anordnung eines motorischen Hubantriebes für die stufenlose Höhenverstellung der Sitzfläche zusammen mit der darauf sitzenden Person kann diese in der tief abgesenkten Stellung des Sitzmöbels in bequemer Stellung Platz nehmen und dann auf die gewünschte Sitzhöhe bewegt werden. Dies ist insbesondere vorteilhaft für verschiedene Arbeitsstellungen im Dienstleistungsbereich, da hierdurch die optimale Arbeitshöhe in einem weiten Verstellbereich eingestellt werden kann. Zudem ermöglicht diese Ausführung das Platznehmen sehr kleiner Personen oder auch körperbehinderter Personen auf dem bis auf die Gestellhöhe abgesenkten Sitzmöbel, woraufhin die auf der Sitzfläche platzgenommene Person mittels des Hubantriebes um etwa diese aus Stabilitätsgründen vorgegebene Gestellhöhe angehoben wird. Hierdurch ist auch im Verkaufsbereich, beispielsweise beim Schuhverkauf oder im Dienstleistungsbereich, wie beispielsweise bei der Pediküre eine optimale Arbeitsposition für das Bedienpersonal einstellbar.The arrangement of a motorized lifting drive for the infinitely variable height adjustment of the seat together with the person sitting on it can take a seat in the lowered position of the seat in a comfortable position and then be moved to the desired seat height. This is particularly advantageous for various work positions in the service sector, since it enables the optimum working height to be set within a wide adjustment range. In addition, this design enables very small people or people with physical disabilities to take a seat on the seating furniture, which is lowered to the frame height, whereupon the person seated on the seat surface is raised by the lifting drive by this frame height, which is predetermined for reasons of stability. As a result, an optimal working position for the operating personnel can also be set in the sales area, for example when selling shoes or in the service area, for example in the case of pedicures.

Darüberhinaus ermöglichen die als vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen vorgesehenen Auflageflächen zur Abstützung der Beine, der Arme oder der Hände eine bequeme Sitzposition. Hierzu trägt auch bei, daß unter der Sitzfläche oder der Rückenlehne ein bevorzugt verschließbarer Stauraum ausgebildet ist, so daß mitgeführte Utensilien, wie Taschen oder Bekleidungsstücke darin verstaut werden können, ohne die Bewegungsfreiheit der auf dem Sitzmöbel platzgenommenen Person zu beeinträchtigen. Hierzu gehört auch, daß sich die Person z. B. in Tanzlokalen frei bewegen kann, ohne auf die in dem Stauraum eingeschlossenen persönlichen Gegenstände dauernd achten zu müssen. Der unter der Sitzfläche oder an der Rückenlehne ausgebildete verschließbare Stauraumbehälter ist hierbei bevorzugt durch ein Münzschloß, wie dies aus Schließfächern an sich bekannt ist, oder auch eine Chipkarte oder ein bedarfsweise codierbares Nummernschloß abgeschlossen, so daß eine diebstahlsichere Verwahrung der persönlichen Gegenstände sichergestellt ist.In addition, the support surfaces provided as advantageous configurations for supporting the legs, arms or hands enable a comfortable sitting position. This also contributes to the fact that a preferably lockable storage space is formed under the seat or the backrest, so that carried utensils such as bags or items of clothing can be stowed therein without impairing the freedom of movement of the person seated on the seating furniture. This also includes that the person z. B. can move freely in dance halls without constantly having to pay attention to the personal items enclosed in the storage space. The lockable storage container formed under the seat or on the backrest is preferably closed by a coin lock, as is known per se from lockers, or also by a chip card or a number lock that can be coded if necessary, so that theft-proof storage of personal items is ensured.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Further advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Nachfolgend werden mehrere Ausführungsbeispiele des Sitzmöbels in Hockerform anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert und beschrieben. Hierbei zeigen:

Several exemplary embodiments of the seating in stool form are explained and described in more detail below with the aid of the drawings. Here show:
Fig. 1
a schematic side view of a preferred embodiment; and
Fig. 2
a rear view of a modified embodiment with two or three seats with the advantageous embodiment of a storage space under the seat of the seating.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Sitzmöbel 1 in Hockerform dargestellt, das sich am Boden über ein Gestell 2 abstützt. Zur Erhöhung der Standfestigkeit des Gestells 2 und einer darauf höhenverstellbar angeordneten Sitzfläche 3 sind an dem Gestell 2 wenigstens drei seitlich auskragende und zum Boden gerichtete Stützen 2a vorgesehen. Ebenso kann eine massive Platte 2c (vgl. Fig. 2) zur standfesten Abstützung vorgesehen sein. Das Gestell 2 umfaßt weiterhin eine zentrale Säule 4, die hier etwa 50 bis 60 cm hoch ist und damit eine Gestellhöhe H vorgibt. An dem Gestell 2 ist weiterhin ein kreisförmiger Fußring 2b vorgesehen, der zur Auflage der Füße einer auf der Sitzfläche 3 sitzenden Person (hier in Strichlinien dargestellt) dient.In Fig. 1, seating 1 is shown in a stool shape, which is supported on the floor by a frame 2. In order to increase the stability of the frame 2 and a seat 3 arranged thereon in a height-adjustable manner, at least three laterally projecting supports 2a directed towards the floor are provided on the frame 2. A solid plate 2c (cf. FIG. 2) can also be provided for stable support. The frame 2 further comprises a central column 4, which is about 50 to 60 cm high here and thus specifies a frame height H. A circular foot ring 2b is also provided on the frame 2 and serves to support the feet of a person sitting on the seat 3 (shown here in broken lines).

In die zentrale Säule 4 ist hierbei ein Hubantrieb 5 integriert, der als elektrisch angetriebenes Hubspindelgetriebe 5a oder als fluidbetätigte Zylinder-Kolbeneinheit 5b (vgl. Fig. 2) ausgebildet sein kann. Dieser Hubantrieb 5 zur stufenlosen Höhenverstellung der Sitzfläche 3 ist hierbei durch einen leistungsstarken Elektromotor oder einen Fluidantrieb mit entsprechend großen Kolbenflächen gebildet, so daß bei der teleskopischen Höhenverstellung auch schwere Personen angehoben werden können. Neben dem bevorzugt vorgesehenen elektrischen Hubspindelgetriebe 5a, das vollständig in die zentrale Säule 4 integriert ist oder einem Pneumatik- oder Hydraulikzylinder 5b können auch Scherenhubgetriebe oder ähnliche dem Fachmann geläufige Teleskopantriebe vorgesehen sein. Wesentlich ist hierbei, daß der Hubantrieb 5 eine Verstellung um etwa die Gestellhöhe H erlaubt, so daß nach dem Platznehmen der Person auf der abgesenkten Sitzfläche 3 in einer Höhe von ca. 50 cm die Sitzfläche 3 zusammen mit der darauf sitzenden Person mittels des motorischen Hubantriebes stufenlos auf eine Höhe von ca. 1 m (entsprechend etwa der doppelten Gestellhöhe H) angehoben werden kann. Hierdurch ist gerade bei der Ausführung als Barhocker selbst für sehr kleine Personen ein bequemes Platznehmen auf der abgesenkten Höhe, entsprechend der Gestellhöhe H möglich und dann die teleskopische Hubbewegung auf die Thekenhöhe, die etwa der doppelten Gestellhöhe H entspricht. Dabei sind je nach gewünschter Sitzflächenhöhe abhängig von der Beinlänge der auf der Sitzfläche 3 sitzenden Person stufenlose Höhenverstellungen möglich, beispielsweise auf das 1,9-fache der Gestellhöhe H. Hierdurch kann die auf der Sitzfläche 3 sitzende Person die gewünschte Sitzhöhe individuell einstellen. Zu dieser Höhenverstellung ist bevorzugt seitlich an der Sitzfläche 3 eine Betätigungsvorrichtung 5c in Form von Bedienungsknöpfen mit der Funktion AUF/AB vorgesehen. Hierdurch kann die auf der Sitzfläche 3 sitzende Person die optimale Sitzhaltung mit Abstützung auf dem Fußring 2b oder einer Thekenstange oder auch die Sitzhöhe bezüglich einer nicht näher dargestellten Arbeitsfläche einstellen.In this case, a lifting drive 5 is integrated in the central column 4, which can be designed as an electrically driven lifting spindle gear 5a or as a fluid-operated cylinder-piston unit 5b (cf. FIG. 2). This lifting drive 5 for the infinitely variable height adjustment of the seat surface 3 is formed here by a powerful electric motor or a fluid drive with correspondingly large piston surfaces, so that even heavy people can be lifted during the telescopic height adjustment. In addition to the preferably provided electrical lifting spindle gear 5a, which is completely integrated in the central column 4 or a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder 5b, scissor-type lifting gear or similar telescopic drives familiar to the person skilled in the art can also be provided. It is essential here that the lifting drive 5 permits an adjustment by approximately the frame height H, so that after the person has taken a seat on the lowered seating surface 3 at a height of approximately 50 cm, the seating surface 3 together with the person sitting on it by means of the motorized lifting drive can be continuously raised to a height of approx. 1 m (corresponding to approximately twice the frame height H). This makes it easy for even very small people to take a seat at the lowered height, corresponding to the frame height H, and then the telescopic lifting movement to the counter height, which corresponds to approximately twice the frame height H, especially when it is designed as a bar stool. Depending on the desired seat height, depending on the leg length of the person sitting on the seat 3, stepless height adjustments are possible, for example to 1.9 times the frame height H. This allows the person sitting on the seat 3 to individually set the desired seat height. For this height adjustment, an actuating device 5c in the form of control buttons with the function UP / DOWN is preferably provided on the side of the seat 3. As a result, the person sitting on the seat 3 can adjust the optimal sitting position with support on the foot ring 2b or a counter bar or also the seat height with respect to a work surface, not shown.

In der Anwendung des Sitzmöbels 1 im Dienstleistungsbereich, beispielsweise beim hier dargestellten Schuhverkauf kann an dem Gestell 2 eine Hilfs-Auflagefläche 6 befestigt sein, die seitlich in Horizontalebene ausschwenkbar ist und dabei als Sitzfläche 6' für Bedien-/Verkaufspersonal (hier strichpunktiert dargestellt) ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch ist eine Bedienung der auf der Sitzfläche 3 sitzenden Person ohne Bücken durch das Bedien- oder Verkaufspersonal möglich. Diese Hilfs-Auflagefläche 6 eignet sich somit auch für Massagebehandlungen der Beine oder für die Pediküre in bequemer Sitzhaltung, wobei die Person auf der Sitzfläche 3 ihren gerade behandelten Fuß auf einer neigbaren Abstellfläche 6'' abstellen kann. Der Abstand zwischen behandelter und behandelnder Person ist hierbei durch die an einem oder mehreren Schwenkgelenken 6c gelagerte Hilfs-Auflagefläche 6 einstellbar. Die Hilfs-Auflagefläche 6 ist zudem an den Schwenkgelenken 6c bei Nichtgebrauch unter die Sitzfläche 3 zu verschwenken oder an (nicht dargestellten) Teleskopschienen seitwärts ein-/ausfahrbar.When using the seating furniture 1 in the service sector, for example when selling shoes here, an auxiliary support surface 6 can be attached to the frame 2, which can be swung out laterally in the horizontal plane and is designed as a seating surface 6 'for operating / sales personnel (shown here in dash-dot lines) is. This enables the person sitting on the seat 3 to be operated without having to bend down by the operating or sales personnel. This auxiliary support surface 6 is thus also suitable for massage treatments of the legs or for pedicures in a comfortable sitting posture, the person being able to place their foot on the seat 3 on a tiltable storage surface 6 ″ on the seat that has just been treated. The distance between the person being treated and the person being treated can be adjusted here by the auxiliary support surface 6 mounted on one or more swivel joints 6c. The auxiliary support surface 6 can also be pivoted on the swivel joints 6c when not in use under the seat surface 3 or can be moved in / out sideways on (not shown) telescopic rails.

Ähnliches gilt für eine seitlich an der Sitzfläche 3 in Vertikalebene schwenkbare Arm-Handauflage 7, die bei Nichtgebrauch an einem Lager 7a in eine aufrechte Lage in der Nähe einer Rückenlehne 8 hochschwenkbar ist. In Gebrauchsstellung kann die Arm-Handauflage 7 auch als Lesepult dienen oder, wie hier dargestellt, als Handauflage bei der Maniküre, wobei die Handstellung durch Gelenke 7b, 7c verstellbar ist, so daß die zu behandelnde Hand direkt im Blickfeld der behandelnden, strichpunktiert dargestellten Person ist. Durch die stufenlose Höhenverstellbarkeit mittels des motorischen Hubantriebes 5 kann somit für beide Personen eine optimale Behandlungsstellung eingestellt werden. Dabei kann auch an der Sitzfläche 6' eine Betätigungsvorrichtung 5c zur AUF/AB-Höhenverstellung der Person auf der Sitzfläche 3 oder 6' vorgesehen sein.The same applies to an arm-hand rest 7 which can be swiveled laterally on the seat 3 in the vertical plane and which, when not in use on a bearing 7 a, can be swiveled up into an upright position near a backrest 8. In the position of use, the arm-hand rest 7 can also serve as a reading desk or, as shown here, as a hand rest for the manicure, the hand position being adjustable by joints 7b, 7c, so that the hand to be treated is directly in the field of vision of the person being treated, shown in broken lines is. Due to the infinitely variable height adjustment by means of the motorized lifting drive 5, an optimal treatment position can thus be set for both persons. An actuating device 5c for the UP / DOWN height adjustment of the person on the seat 3 or 6 'can also be provided on the seat 6'.

In den vorstehend genannten Anwendungsfällen des Sitzmöbels 1 ist weiterhin die vorstehend erwähnte Rückenlehne 8 vorgesehen, die bevorzugt mit einer Kopfstütze 9 und/oder integrierten Lautsprechern 10 ausgerüstet ist, so daß bei der Maniküre oder Pediküre die auf der Sitzfläche 3 sitzende Person in bequemer Sitzhaltung Musik hören kann. Hierbei sind die schalenförmigen Lautsprecher 10 um eine zur Kopfstütze 9 exzentrisch angeordnete Achse 10a schwenkbar, so daß sie in Nichtgebrauchsstellung etwa bündig zum Umriß der Kopfstütze 9 verschwenkbar sind. Die Neigung der Rückenlehne 8 ist dabei ebenso wie die Höheneinstellung der Kopfstütze 9 verstellbar ausgebildet, um hier eine optimale Anpassung an den Oberkörper der auf der Sitzfläche 3 sitzenden Person zu erlauben.In the above-mentioned applications of the seating furniture 1, the above-mentioned backrest 8 is also provided, which is preferably equipped with a headrest 9 and / or integrated loudspeakers 10, so that the person sitting on the seat 3 can listen to music in a comfortable sitting position during the manicure or pedicure. Here, the bowl-shaped loudspeakers 10 can be pivoted about an axis 10a arranged eccentrically to the headrest 9, so that they can be pivoted approximately flush with the outline of the headrest 9 when not in use. The inclination of the backrest 8 is adjustable, as is the height adjustment of the headrest 9, in order to allow an optimal adaptation to the upper body of the person sitting on the seat 3.

In Fig. 2 ist die Ausführung der Rückenlehne 8 näher dargestellt, woraus sich auch die Höhenverstellbarkeit der Kopfstütze 9 an der bügelförmigen Rückenlehne 8 und die seitliche Anordnung der Lautsprecher 10 ergibt. Hieraus ist weiterhin die auf die Gestellhöhe H abgesenkte Sitzfläche 3 in der Position 3' ersichtlich, die dann mittels eines motorischen Hubantriebes 5, der hier als fluidbetätigte Kolbeneinheit 5b mit einer Energieversorgung P angedeutet ist, z. B. aus einem Pneumatikzylinder besteht, um die Gestellhöhe H abzüglich einer geringen Führungslänge höhenverstellbar ist. In der angehobenen Position ist hierbei die Sitzfläche 3 in doppelter Ausführung dargestellt, so daß zwei Personen darauf Platz nehmen können. Dementsprechend ist auch die Rückenlehne 8 in doppelter Ausfertigung symmetrisch zum mittig angeordneten Gestell 2 in Form der zentralen Säule 4 angeordnet. Zudem können die beiden äußeren Sitzflächen 3 an einer Schiebeführung 13 auseinandergezogen werden, so daß ggf. noch eine dritte Sitzfläche 3 und eine dritte Rückenlehne 8, wie hier strichliert angedeutet, durch Einlegen eines Sitzkissens geschaffen werden kann. Es sei darauf hingewiesen, daß durch die Ausführung des zentralen Hubantriebes 5 die Sitzfläche um die Hochachse des Hubantriebes 5 drehbar gestaltet ist, sowie die Sitzfläche 3 an der Schiebeführung 13 auch eng zusammengeschoben werden können, so daß sich eine besonders bequeme Einzel-Sitzfläche ergibt.In Fig. 2, the design of the backrest 8 is shown in more detail, which also results in the height adjustment of the headrest 9 on the bow-shaped backrest 8 and the lateral arrangement of the speakers 10. This also shows the seat surface 3 lowered to the frame height H in the position 3 ', which is then indicated by means of a motorized lifting drive 5, which is indicated here as a fluid-actuated piston unit 5b with an energy supply P, for. B. consists of a pneumatic cylinder to the frame height H minus a small guide length is adjustable in height. In the raised position, the seat 3 is shown in duplicate, so that two people can sit on it. Accordingly, the backrest 8 is arranged in duplicate symmetrically to the frame 2 arranged in the center in the form of the central column 4. In addition, the two outer seat surfaces 3 can be pulled apart on a sliding guide 13, so that, if necessary, a third seat surface 3 and a third backrest 8, as indicated here by dashed lines, can be created by inserting a seat cushion. It should be noted that the design of the central lifting drive 5 makes the seating surface rotatable about the vertical axis of the lifting drive 5, and the seating surface 3 on the sliding guide 13 can also be pushed closely together, so that a particularly comfortable single seating surface results.

Als weitere Besonderheit ist hier unter jeder Sitzfläche 3 ein halbkugelförmiger Stauraumbehälter 11 vorgesehen, der beispielsweise durch eine aufklappbar gestaltete Sitzfläche 3 zugänglich ist. Dieser Stauraumbehälter 11 ist verschließbar ausgebildet, bevorzugt mittels eines Münzschlosses 12. Hierdurch können persönliche Gegenstände und Bekleidungsstücke diebstahlsicher verwahrt werden. Anstatt des Zuganges zu dem Stauraumbehälter 11, der beispielsweise als Lochblech-Behälter oder als Drahtkorb ausgebildet sein kann, über eine in Art eines Deckels aufklappbare Sitzfläche 3, kann der Stauraumbehälter 11 auch um eine Vertikalachse 11b seitlich in eine Position 11' herausgeschwenkt werden, wie dies in Fig. 2 rechts dargestellt ist. Alternativ hierzu kann jedoch auch der Stauraumbehälter 11 in Art einer Schublade ausgebildet sein, so daß dieser an Führungen 11a seitlich in Horizontalebene unter der hier rechten Sitzfläche 3 herausgezogen werden kann, dann die aufzubewahrenden Gegenstände hineingelegt werden können und schließlich der Stauraumbehälter 11 wieder unter die Sitzfläche 3 verschoben oder verschwenkt werden kann. Diese herausziehbare oder herausschwenkbare Lösung des Stauraumbehälters 11 ermöglicht somit den Zugriff auf darin abgelegte Gegenstände in sitzender Position, ohne daß die Person aufstehen müßte. Hierzu ist beispielsweise das Münzschloß 12 zugleich als seitlich angeordneter Handgriff ausgebildet, so daß hier rechts in Fig. 2 der Stauraumbehälter 11 an den unterhalb der Sitzfläche 3 angeordneten Schubladenführungen 11a nach rechts herausgezogen werden kann und die darauf sitzende Person mit ihrer rechten Hand direkten Zugriff auf diesen Stauraumbehälter 11 in der Position 11' hat. Ebenso kann ein derartiger Stauraumbehälter 11 an der Rückenlehne 8 vorgesehen sein bzw. in die Rückenlehne integriert sein.As a further special feature, a hemispherical storage space container 11 is provided under each seat 3, which is accessible, for example, through a seat 3 designed to be foldable. This storage container 11 is designed to be lockable, preferably by means of a coin lock 12. This allows personal items and items of clothing to be stored in a theft-proof manner. Instead of access to the storage space container 11, which can be designed, for example, as a perforated plate container or as a wire basket, via a seat 3 that can be opened in the manner of a lid, the storage space container 11 can also be pivoted out laterally about a vertical axis 11b into a position 11 ', as is the case this is shown on the right in FIG. 2. Alternatively, however, the storage container 11 can be designed in the manner of a drawer, so that it can be pulled out laterally on guides 11a in the horizontal plane under the right seat surface 3, then the objects to be stored can be put in and finally the storage container 11 again under the seat surface 3 can be moved or pivoted. This pull-out or swivel-out solution of the storage space container 11 thus enables access to objects stored therein in a seated position without the person having to get up. For this purpose, for example, the coin lock 12 is also designed as a laterally arranged handle, so that here on the right in Fig. 2 the storage space container 11 can be pulled out to the right on the drawer guides 11a arranged below the seat surface 3 and the person sitting on it can directly access it with their right hand has this storage container 11 in position 11 '. Such a storage container 11 can also be provided on the backrest 8 or integrated into the backrest.

Im linken Bereich von Fig. 2 ist unter der Sitzfläche 3 eine weitere Ausführung des Stauraumbehälters 11 dargestellt, wobei dieser um eine horizontal ausgerichtete Schwenkachse 11c nach unten klappbar ist und durch ein Schloß 12 verschließbar ist. Zum Verschließen des Stauraumbehälters 11 ist hier an der linken Seite ein Münzschloß 12 angedeutet, so daß nach Einwurf einer Münze ein Schlüssel abgezogen werden kann und damit der Stauraumbehälter 11 in der zur Sitzfläche 3 hin angehobenen Stellung nicht mehr für Unbefugte zugänglich ist. Ebenso kann eine Chipkarte oder ein Zahlenschloß zur Betätigung bzw. Verriegelung des Stauraumbehälter-Schlosses vorgesehen sein. Auch kann eine optische und/oder akustische Anzeigevorrichtung z. B. in Art eines Sprachcomputers mit künstlicher Sprachausgabe vorgesehen sein, um die jeweilige Person an die Mitnahme der abgelegten Gegenstände zu erinnern. Da zudem das Gestell 2 des Sitzmöbels 1 fest auf dem Boden verankert ist, ist somit eine diebstahlsichere Aufbewahrung von Wertgegenständen oder Bekleidungsstücken in dem Stauraumbehälter 11 möglich, wie dies insbesondere in Diskotheken wünschenswert ist, wenn die jeweilige Person z. B. auf der Tanzfläche ist und somit nicht Bekannte mit der Bewachung von Wertgegenständen, Handtaschen usw. betrauen muß.A further embodiment of the storage space container 11 is shown in the left-hand area of FIG. 2, the storage space container 11 being able to be folded down about a horizontally oriented pivot axis 11c and being lockable by a lock 12. To close the storage container 11 is here on the left Side indicated a coin lock 12 so that a key can be removed after inserting a coin and thus the storage container 11 is no longer accessible to unauthorized persons in the raised position towards the seat 3. A chip card or a combination lock can also be provided for actuating or locking the storage container lock. An optical and / or acoustic display device, for. B. be provided in the manner of a voice computer with artificial speech to remind the respective person to take away the stored objects. In addition, since the frame 2 of the seating furniture 1 is firmly anchored on the floor, theft-proof storage of valuables or clothing in the storage space container 11 is possible, as is particularly desirable in discotheques if the person in question, for. B. is on the dance floor and therefore must not entrust acquaintances with the guarding of valuables, handbags, etc.

Weiterhin ist die um ein oder mehrere Schwenkgelenke 6c in Horizontalebene herausschwenkbare Hilfs-Auflagefläche 6 dargestellt, die gemäß der Ausführung in Fig. 1 als Sitzfläche für Bedien-/Verkaufspersonal ausgebildet sein kann. Hierbei ist deren Abstützung vergrößert dargestellt, nämlich zum einen ein die zentrale Säule 4 umgreifendes Führungslager 6a und wenigstens eine sich auf dem Fußring 2b abstützende Rolle 6b, die bevorzugt mit ihrer konkaven Außenmantelfläche an den Querschnitt des Fußringes 2b angepaßt ist. Hierdurch kann sich die Person auf der Hilfs-Sitzfläche 6' um 360° um die zentrale Säule 4 drehen, wie dies für bestimmte Massageanwendungen oder ähnliche Behandlungen z. B. beim Friseur zweckmäßig ist, wobei in diesem Falle die Sitzfläche 6' generell höher ausgelegt ist. Durch diese abstützende Rolle 6b ergibt sich eine stabile Lagerung der Hilfs-Auflagefläche 6, wobei jedoch bei Fehlen eines Fußringes 2b auch das Führungslager 6a hülsenförmig (vgl. linker Bereich in Fig. 2) über die zentrale Säule 4 verlaufen kann, um eine große Auskraglänge der Sitzfläche 6'zu ermöglichen.Furthermore, the auxiliary support surface 6, which can be pivoted out in the horizontal plane about one or more swivel joints 6c, is shown, which according to the embodiment in FIG. 1 can be designed as a seat for operating / sales personnel. Here, their support is shown enlarged, namely on the one hand a guide bearing 6a encompassing the central column 4 and at least one roller 6b supported on the foot ring 2b, which is preferably adapted to the cross section of the foot ring 2b with its concave outer lateral surface. As a result, the person on the auxiliary seat 6 'can rotate through 360 ° around the central column 4, as is the case for certain massage applications or similar treatments. B. at the hairdresser is useful, in which case the seat 6 'is generally designed higher. This supporting roller 6b results in a stable mounting of the auxiliary bearing surface 6, but in the absence of a foot ring 2b, the guide bearing 6a can also extend in a sleeve-like manner (see left area in FIG. 2) over the central column 4 by a large overhang to enable the seat 6 '.
