Item of furniture for reclining
View Patent ↗A recliner ( 1 ), including a reclining surface ( 2 ) and a substructure ( 3 ) that can be set on a base and supports the reclining surface ( 2 ), the substructure ( 3 ) including at least one stand ( 4 ) and at least one spring element ( 5 ) that is positioned between the stand ( 4 ) and the reclining surface ( 2 ), the reclining surface ( 2 ) being mounted on the spring element ( 5 ), the spring element ( 5 ) elastically pretensioning the reclining surface ( 2 ) in the direction ( 6 ) leading away from the stand ( 4 ), and the reclining surface ( 2 ), when unloaded, being held in an elastically pretensioned manner by a limiting element ( 7 ) of the recliner ( 1 ).
1. A recliner, comprising a reclining surface and a substructure that is adapted to be set on a base and supports the reclining surface, the substructure having a stand and at least one spring element arranged between the stand and the reclining surface, and the reclining surface being mounted on the spring element, the spring element elastically pretensions the reclining surface in a direction away from the stand, and the reclining surface, in an unloaded state, is kept elastically pretensioned by a limiting element of the recliner, and the recliner is configured such that with an additional mass of 85 kg being located on the reclining surface, after a single deflection from a rest position in the direction toward the stand, the reclining surface has an oscillation frequency of between 0.1 and 1 Hertz in a free oscillation following the single deflection.
2. The recliner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the limiting element limits a deflection of the reclining surface, in the unloaded state, in the direction away from the stand.
3. The recliner as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a stop element that limits a deflection of the reclining surface, in a loaded state, in a direction toward the stand.
4. The recliner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reclining surface, in the unloaded state, is arranged in a starting position, and, in a loaded state with the additional mass lying on the reclining surface, is arranged in an intermediate position deflected relative to the starting position.
5. The recliner as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the reclining surface in the loaded state is adapted to swing freely about the deflected intermediate position.
6. The recliner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one spring element has two spring legs which are connected to each other in a connection region.
7. The recliner as claimed in claim 6 , wherein at least in the unloaded state, the two spring legs arranged running at least in part away from each other starting from the connection region.
8. The recliner as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the connection region is C-shaped.
9. The recliner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one spring element has two spring legs which are integrally connected to each other in a connection region.
10. The recliner as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an adjustment device for adjusting the reclining surface relative to the spring element in mutually opposite longitudinal directions of the reclining surface.
11. A method of using a recliner as claimed in claim 1 , the method comprising, upon a person lying down on the reclining surface, the reclining surface deflecting from a starting position, that the reclining surface adopts in the unloaded state, to an intermediate position deflected relative to the starting position, and the reclining surface with the person lying thereon moving, starting from the intermediate position, in an oscillation that is adapted to be excited only by a person's breathing.
12. A recliner, comprising a reclining surface and a substructure that is adapted to be set on a base and supports the reclining surface, the substructure having at least one stand and at least one spring element arranged between the stand and the reclining surface, and the reclining surface being mounted on the spring element, the spring element elastically pretensions the reclining surface in a direction away from the stand, and the reclining surface, in an unloaded state, is kept elastically pretensioned by a limiting element of the recliner, the recliner is configured such that with an additional mass of 85 kg located on the reclining surface, and after a single deflection from a rest position in the direction toward the stand, the reclining surface has an amplitude retention of greater than or equal to 20% in a free oscillation following the single deflection, wherein the amplitude retention is calculated from a ratio of an amplitude of a sixth oscillation period after deflection to an amplitude of a second oscillation period after deflection.
