Abstract

Main claim: The invention relates to height-adjustable pieces of furniture, shaping means and installation platforms, wherein the pieces of furniture are designed to be installed inside buildings or permanently in outdoor spaces (in this case with a high level of protection against vandalism and theft and consisting of a weather-resistant material) or are designed to be transportable and allow a change of location facilitating their mobility (preferably a lightweight construction), to be stable and cost-effective, preferably made of a pressed material, a casting or profiled material, a punched and/or flexible material (e.g. concrete, plastic, casting metal or resin-impregnated wood panels or sheet metal parts and/or rod sections), and for which are proposed, for the purpose of their reproduction from molding materials, formwork elements or molding tools as shaping means for multiple uses in the industrial field and likewise for individualized production for private use. The pieces of furniture (e.g. sitting elements, lying elements, table elements, enclosure elements, column and depositing elements) are designed in such a manner that they can be adapted to different phases of utilization and are adjustable to the height of adults and/or children by means which are simple and tailored to the material, that they can be disposed individually or in groups, free or with one or a plurality of installation platforms, in order to form a multifunctional recreation space having the largest variety of arrangements, comprising equipment and means for heating and cooling the temperature around persons, for the preparation, heating, cooling and consumption of food products, and comprising a sport function, a game function, a diverting function, a weather protection function, an energy feed function and an association function with other types of pieces of furniture. The invention is characterized in that an upper frame (3) can be supported on the lower frame (2) of a piece of furniture either directly or by interposing one or more intermediate frames (25), in that the adjacent frames form a support with one or a plurality of supporting segments (4), which are associated therewith in pairs, belong to them in part and are positioned in a distributed manner along a common adjustment path that follows a common, according to the design, linear or radial projection line; and form a support with continuously rising track sections (5a) which are assigned to said supporting segments in a different manner and serve as bearing elements (5); and form a support with sliding and/or roller bearings (5b and 5c, respectively) complementing them. The invention is furthermore characterized in that the displacement path is guided by path guiding elements (6) and in that the supporting segments of one of the frames form a displacement unit that is in effect at the same time during adjustment of only one frame, and that the supporting segments of the other frame form a resistance unit that is in effect at the same time and that during adjustment of both frames, both form the two units, and together constitute a height-adjustable unit.
