Abstract
Armchair with a seat surface and a leg rest which can be pivoted out, wherein the armchair can be pivoted between a sitting position and a reclining position, for which purpose the seat surface can be displaced to the rear in relation to a fixed frame and is articulated in the front region via erecting levers. The leg rest is coupled to the seat surface in such a manner that it is pivoted when the seat surface is displaced to the rear. The leg rest is connected to the erecting levers by a first sliding mounting and is articulated on the fixed frame by a second sliding mounting. The first sliding mounting is connected pivotably to the second sliding mounting, and the second sliding mounting is configured in such a manner that its orientation changes during the pivoting operation. The leg rest has a thigh part and a calf part that are connected pivotably to each other in such a manner that, when the seat surface is displaced to the rear, the calf part is pivoted from a position arranged approximately parallel to the seat surface and below the seat surface into an approximately horizontal position.
