Abstract

The invention relates to a footrest chassis for attachment to a seating furniture chassis, comprising a first region, a second region, at least one attachment means for securing the first region to the seating furniture chassis, and a connecting means, wherein the first region and the second region can be pivoted about a first pivot axis that is defined by the attachment means in the mounted state on the seating furniture chassis, and wherein the second region is connected to the first region by means of the connecting means; during a pivoting movement of the first region and the second region about the first pivot axis, an additional pivoting movement of the second region takes place about a second pivot axis that is defined by the connecting means.

Claims

1. A footrest chassis for attachment to a seating furniture chassis, comprising a first region, a second region, at least one attachment means for securing the first region to the seating furniture chassis, and a connecting means, wherein the first region and the second region can be pivoted about a first pivot axis that is defined by the attachment means in the mounted state on the seating furniture chassis, and wherein the second region is connected to the first region by means of the connecting means, characterized in that,

during a pivoting movement of the first region and the second region about the first pivot axis, an additional pivoting movement of the second region takes place about a second pivot axis that is defined by the connecting means.

2. The footrest chassis according to claim 1, wherein the connecting means comprises a first connecting element and a second connecting element, wherein the first connecting element defines the second pivot axis and wherein the second connecting element is designed to trigger the pivoting movement about the second pivot axis.

3. The footrest chassis according to claim 2, wherein the second connecting element is embodied in the manner of a lever.

4. The footrest chassis according to claim 1, wherein the attachment means comprises a first attachment element and a second attachment element, wherein the first attachment element defines the first pivot axis and the second attachment element is designed to trigger the pivoting movement about the second pivot axis.

5. The footrest chassis according to claim 4, wherein the second attachment element is embodied in the manner of a lever.

6. The footrest chassis according to claim 1, wherein the connecting means comprises a third connecting element that connects the second connecting element to the second attachment element.

7. The footrest chassis according to claim 6, wherein a pivoting movement of the third connecting element about a third pivot axis can be triggered by the second attachment element during the pivoting movement of the first region about the first pivot axis.

8. The footrest chassis according to claim 7, wherein the second attachment element is rotatably connected to the third connecting element.

9. The footrest chassis according to claim 7, wherein the third connecting element is rotatably connected to the second connecting element.

10. The footrest chassis according to claim 1, wherein the footrest chassis has a support surface that is designed to rest on a bearing means of the seating furniture chassis, wherein the pivoting movement of the first region and the second region about the first pivot axis can be triggered by a deflection of the support surface.

11. The footrest chassis according to claim 10, wherein the footrest chassis comprises a spring means that is designed to exert a spring force on the support surface, so that the support surface is pressed against the bearing means.

12. A system, comprising a footrest chassis according to claim 1 and a seating furniture chassis.
