Das in Fig. 1 dargestellte Sitzmöbel 10 besteht aus einem oberen Lagerflächenteil 12, das mittels eines von ihm ausgehenden, sich nach unten erstreckenden Trageelementes 14 über Seilpendel 16 pendelnd an einem unteren Fußteil 18 aufgehängt ist. Das Trageelement 14 kann entweder rahmen- oder kastenförmig ausgebildet sein oder aber aus mehreren Tragearmen bestehen. An jeder Aufhängungsstelle sind zwei Seilpendel 16, die etwa die gleiche Pendellänge aufweisen, funktionell in Reihe geschaltet. Die Lagerstellen der dem Lagerflächenteil 12 und der dem Fußteil 18 gegenüberliegenden Pendelenden sind über einen Rahmen 20, dessen Höhe der Pendellänge entspricht, starr miteinander verbunden. Das am Lagerflächenteil 12 befestigte Seilpendel 16 ist pendelnd an der Oberseite des Rahmens 20 aufgehängt, während das am Fußteil 18 befestigte Seilpendel 16 an der Unterseite des Rahmens 20 befestigt ist. Die Pendel 16 sind hierbei über Durchbrechungen in dem Rahmen 20 zu der jeweils gegenüberliegenden Rahmenseite geführt.The
Als Schutz können die Rahmenteile mit der sie verbindenden Pendeln 16 in einem am Fußteil 18 oder Lagerflächenteil 12 befestigten Gehäuse untergebracht sein. Das Fußteil 18 durchläuft hierbei das Gehäuse mittig, wobei zwischen dem Fußteil 18 un dem Gehäuse ein Abstand vorgesehen ist, der Schwingungen zwischen dem Lagerflächenteil 12 mit Gehäuse einerseits und dem Fußteil 18 andererseits erlaubt.As protection, the frame parts with the
Die dargestellte Aufhängevorrichtung ist im Vergleich zu Aufhängevorrichtungen herkömmlicher Art durch ein wesentlich verbessertes Schwingungsverhalten bei kompakter Bauweise gekennzeichnet. Sie ermöglich auch bei feinsten Vibrationen ein Höchstmaß an Dynamisierung bei gleichzeitigen guten Stabilisierungs- und Dämpfungseigenschaften großen Auslenkungen gegenüber.The suspension device shown is compared to suspension devices of a conventional type due to a significantly improved vibration behavior with a compact design featured. It enables a high degree of dynamization even with the finest vibrations, while at the same time having good stabilization and damping properties against large deflections.
Eine zusätzliche Verbesserung des Schwingungsverhaltens läßt sich dadurch erreichen, daß eine Vielzahl von konzentrischen Rahmen 20 vorgesehen ist, die durch in Reihe geschalteten Seilpendel 16 miteinander verbunden ist. Eine entsprechend ausgebildete, erfindungsgemäße Aufhängevorrichtung ist in Fig. 2 beispielhaft für ein Sitzmöbel 10 schematisch dargestellt. Die Verbindung zwischen dem Trageelement 14 des Lagerflächenteils 12 und dem Fußteil 18 erfolgt über drei Rahmen 20 unterschiedlichen Querschnittes, die konzentrisch ineinander angeordnet sind. Bei benachbarten Rahmen 20 weist jeweils der kleinere Rahmen 20 Stege 22 auf, an denen das eine Ende eines Seilpendels 16 befestigt ist. Diese Stege 22 sind so über den jeweils nächstgrößeren Rahmen 20 geführt, daß das Seilpendel 16 mit seinem anderen Ende an der Unterseite des nächstgrößeren Rahmens 20 festgelegt ist. Das am Lagerflächenteil 12 befestigte Pendel 16 greift hierbei an der Oberseite des größten Rahmens 20 an, welcher nicht mit einem entsprechenden Steg 22 versehen ist. Das am Fußteil 18 befestigte Pendel 16 ist mit dem kleinsten Rahmen 20 verbunden. Die Pendel 16 sind hierbei über Durchbrechnungen in den Rahmen 20 zu den jeweiligen Aufhängepunkten geführt. Eine Draufsicht auf diese erfindungsgemäße Rahmenanordnung ist zur Verdeutlichung in Fig. 3 dargestellt.An additional improvement in the vibration behavior can be achieved in that a plurality of
Bei dem in Fig. 4 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht der Rahmen 20 aus zwei senkrecht übereinander angeordneten Flacheisen 20a, 20b, die über Gummipuffer 24 miteinander verbunden sind. Das an dem Lagerflächenteil 12 befestigte Seilpendel 16 ist durch eine Durchbrechung des unteren Flacheisens 20a geführt und mit seinem oberen Ende am oberen Flacheisen 20b pendelnd aufgehängt. Das am Fußteil 18 befestigte Pendel 16 ist durch eine Durchbrechung im oberen Flacheisen 20a mit seinem anderen Ende am unteren Flacheisen befestigt. Zwischen den relativ zueinander beweglichen Teilen sind Anschlagelemente 26 angeordnet, um deren Relativbewegung zu begrenzen. Die zwischen dem oberen Flacheisen 20b und dem Fußteil 18 sowie dem unteren Flacheisen 20a und dem Lagerflächenteil 12 angeordneten Anschlagelemente 26 bestehen aus gelagerten Kugeln, um auch eine seitliche Bewegung zu ermöglichen.In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the
Im Unterschied zu den bisher gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen, bei denen die Rückenlehne 28 des Sitzmöbels 10 einstückig mit dem Lagerflächenteil 12 verbunden war, ist die Rückenlehne 28 in dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel über ein Federelement 30 mit dem aus einem Flacheisen bestehenden unteren Trageelement 20a des Rahmens 20 verbunden. Im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Sitzmöbeln wird hierdurch ein von den Schwingungen des Lagerflächenteils 12 im wesentlichen entkoppeltes Schwingen der Rückenlehne 28 ermöglicht. Hierdurch läßt sich eine zusätzliche Verbesserung des Schwingungsverhaltens des Sitzmöbels erzielen. Die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung der Rückenlehne 28 über ein Federelement 30 mit unteren Tragelement 20a des Rahmens 20 ist zur Verdeutlichung in Fig. 5 in Draufsicht schematisch dargestellt.In contrast to the previously shown exemplary embodiments, in which the
Die Wirkungsweise der erfindungsgemäßen Aufhängevorrichtung wurde in den vorstehenden Beispielen anhand eines Sitzmöbels beispielhaft dargestellt. Sie kann vorteilhafterweise jedoch z.B. auch bei der Lagerung hochempfindlicher Maschinen oder Geräte Anwendung finden.The operation of the suspension device according to the invention was exemplified in the above examples using a piece of seating. However, it can advantageously e.g. can also be used to store highly sensitive machines or equipment.
