Seating and/or lounging furniture

Abstract

A seating and/or lounging furniture includes: a seat frame; an extendable footrest; a footrest frame, which is displaceable on the seat frame, and on the front end of which the footrest is held movably, pivotable around a pivot axis; at least one drive for displacement of the footrest frame along a displacement distance relative to the seat frame; and at least one operating rod for swinging the footrest in and out, around the pivot axis, wherein the operating rod is connected at one end to the footrest, while the other end of the operating rod is connected to the seat frame by means of a hinge mechanism, so that displacement of the footrest frame over at least 60%, preferably over at least 80%, and extremely preferably over at least 90% of the displacement distance causes a simultaneous pivoting movement of the footrest about the pivot axis.

The seating and/or lounging furniture according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the first articulated lever ( 16   a ) has a central hinge point ( 16   b ), with which it is connected to the footrest frame ( 6 ) in an articulated connection and has a first outer hinge point ( 16   c ) for an articulated connection to the operating rod ( 14 ) and a second outer hinge point ( 16   d ) for connection to a second articulated lever ( 16   e ). 
     
     
         6 . The seating and/or lounging furniture according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the second articulated lever ( 16   e ) has an articulated connection to the first articulated lever ( 16   a ) at one end and an articulated connection to the seat frame ( 7 ) at a second end. 
     
     
         7 . The seating and/or lounging furniture according to  claim 1 , characterized in that, when the footrest ( 4 ) is extended, the operating rod ( 14 ) is arranged so that, in a side view of the seating and/or lounging furniture, the footrest is at least 80% concealed, preferably at least 90% concealed, behind the footrest frame ( 6 ). 
     
     
         8 . The seating and/or lounging furniture according to  claim 7 , characterized in that when the footrest ( 4 ) is folded in, the operating rod ( 14 ) is arranged, so that it is at least 80% concealed, preferably at least 90% concealed, behind the footrest frame ( 6 ), as seen in a side view of the seating or lounging furniture.
