Abstract
The invention relates to loungers or beds consisting of pivoting elements and comprising a motor drive for adjusting their position. To prevent injury to users caused by improper adjustment, the pivoting movements are restricted.
Description
Adjustable recliner or bed This invention relates to an adjustable recliner or bed. Only the term "recliner" is used below, although the concepts of a couch and a bed are also covered by the invention.
Recliners of this type have been known for an extremely long time. To adjust the recliners, the recliners are preferably divided into a plurality of segments that are connected to one another so that they can pivot. The parts are pivoted with respect to one another and/or with respect to the base frame.
The adjustment also includes at least one locking device to immobilize the movable parts in the current pivoted position.
The prior art also describes recliners that are simultaneously provided with a motorized adjustment in various parts. The motorized adjustment makes possible an adjustment while the occupant is sitting or lying on the recliner into any desired position. In the absence of a motorized adjustment, most people are forced to make several attempts to approximate the optimal position. During these adjustments they are required to stand up repeatedly, make an adjustment and then re-assume the seated or reclining position.
A motorized adjustment capability makes this repeated standing up and sitting down unnecessary. The comfort and convenience of a motorized adjustment are considered significant.
The motorized adjustment also presents a risk of injury to the user. This risk is present in particular when the seat consists of a seat part, with torso and leg parts fastened adjustably to it. When the parts are adjusted in relation to each other by a reclining person, the reclining person can become jammed between the two parts.
On other seats, there is a danger of injury to the feet, because the feet can become stuck under the foot portion.
The object of the invention is therefore to eliminate the risk of injury from hazardous pivoting positions. The invention teaches that at least one separate adjusting motor is provided for each pivoting part that poses a danger of injury, and that for each adjusting motor, a displacement limiting device is provided to limit the displacement with respect to the neighboring part. The invention therefore ensures that neighboring parts of the recliner do not come excessively close to one another and thereby pose a risk of injury.
The advantages are particularly important for seats with a torso part and a separate leg part.
The invention also teaches that a displacement limiting device is preferably provided for the leg part and for the foot part, to prevent the feet from becoming jammed between the foot part and the base frame.
The adjusting motors provided are preferably provided with an automatic interlock and/or with a stop. The automatic interlock can be created, for example, by using a transmission with a spindle or a threaded rod. A nut can thereby sit on the spindle or threaded rod, for example. The spindle or the threaded rod and/or the nut can be rotationally mounted. A gear wheel can also interact with the spindle. If a gear wheel is used, at least the spindle or the threaded rod is provided with a drive motor.
The automatic interlocking action of the spindle or threaded rod is greater, the smaller the pitch of the spindle or the pitch of the thread on the threaded rod.
Instead of or in addition to the automatic interlocking device, a mechanical and/or electronic or electrical locking device can also be provided. Preferably a motorized locking device is provided.
Optionally, the spindle or the threaded rod and/or the nut are provided with a drive motor. The drive motors can simultaneously have a locking device. Stepper motors are advantageous. Stepper motors with locking devices in the current step position are commercially available.
One exemplary embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Figures 1 to 4 show a recliner with a seat part 1, a leg part 4, a foot part 5, a torso part 2 and a head part 3. The different parts are connected to one another in an articulated manner. In the exemplary embodiment, the articulations are conventional hinges with moving parts that are engaged with one another and are connected to one another by hinge bolts. In other exemplary embodiments, flexible parts made of plastic or spring steel sheet can be used as hinges.
The seat part 1 is simultaneously rigidly connected with a fixed base frame.
The fixed base frame has rounded feet 6 made of aluminum profiles. To reduce the weight, a perforated profile is used. In the exemplary embodiment, two profiles located at some distance from each other are provided with a curved shape. The curve has its maximum curvature in the area in which it comes into contact with the seat part 1.
Toward the ends of the recliner, the curvatures decreases, until the profiles come into contact with the base frame. The profiles are also tapered toward the ends.
Parts 10 and 11 are also provided on the parts 1, 2 and 3. These parts form reinforcement and bearing brackets for the articulated attachment of electric elevating motors 9. On the foot part 5 and the head part 3, bearing brackets are also provided, although they are not shown in the exemplary embodiment.
The elevating motors have a spindle 12 which is extended out of the housing by rotation and can be retracted again.
The spindles 12 are connected in an articulated manner on the head with the facing part which forms a bearing bracket. On the other end of the elevating motors 8 and 9, an articulated connection with the parts 10 and 11 is provided.
All the elevating motors are electrical stepper motors that can be locked in the current step position.
The elevating motors are provided with a pivoting limitation. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the pivoting is limited by means of a computer, whereby the step position is measured and the pivoted position is determined from the current step position. This measurement can be made empirically or on the basis of the geometry of the parts that participate in the pivoting movement. For the empirical determination, the pivot position that corresponds to each step position is measured. By a comparison of the data that correspond to each pivot position, it is possible to prevent the further extension of a elevating motor or the further retraction of a elevating motor and an excessive closeness of the moving parts or an excessive distance between the moving parts. In the exemplary embodiment, the computer acts on the control system that controls the elevating motors, so that the elevating motors can be moved only in the safe direction, i.e. retracted or extended in a direction that reduces any potential hazard.
In the exemplary embodiment, the elevating motors are designed so that in every position of the parts 1 to 5, an adjustment is possible in response to a spot load at the farther end of the parts. Therefore even extremely overweight people can sit or lie on any desired point of the recliner and still make a motorized adjustment of the recliner.
In an additional exemplary embodiment, the chair is designed to support a load of 200 kg, and in additional exemplary embodiments, the recliner is designed to support a load of only 100 kg.
Regardless of the question of the adjustment force, the parts 1 to 5 and the adjustment mechanism are designed so that they will withstand the load applied. This concept also includes the design of the base frame, with regard to both strength and stability.
The elevating motors 8 and 9 are located at a short distance from the parts 1 to 5, so that the elevating motors, when viewed from the side of the recliner, lie essentially in a line one behind the other, whereby the line in Figure 4 runs approximately parallel to the contour of the seating surface of the recliner, and in the recliner positions illustrated in Figures 1 to 3, the line follows the contour of the recliner seating surface, i.e. it has essentially the same contour.
The term "essentially the same" includes variations of the longitudinal axis of the elevating motor up to 20 degrees from the position parallel to the closest part of the reclining chair or to the seating surface of the closest part of the reclining chair.
In the exemplary embodiment, the distance between the elevating motors 8 and 9 is 15 cm, while in other exemplary embodiments it can be up to 20 cm or 30 cm.
The construction described above provides advantageous clearance between the adjustment mechanism and the floor and reduces the risk of injury. The invention thereby prevents the user's feet from becoming jammed in the adjustment mechanism.
In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the adjustment mechanism is also located centrally underneath the recliner, so that the adjustment mechanism is out of reach of the user's hands, and thereby prevents injuries to the user's hands.
In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, a mattress-shaped cushion (not shown) sits on the parts 1 to 5, and the cushion and the mechanism of the recliner (Parts 1 to 5 and their adjustment) are covered by cushion upholstery (not shown). This feature also contributes to the safety of the recliner.
In other exemplary embodiments, the cushion encloses the parts 1 to 5 and their adjustment mechanisms.
When an adjustment is made, in the exemplary embodiment any further pivoting movement of the parts 2 and 4 is blocked when the parts enclose a pivot angle of less than 70 degrees between them. The position is illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
In other exemplary embodiments, the limit angle selected is a smaller or larger enclosed angle.
The limit can be changed by changing the computer data.
In Figures 1 and 2, the foot part 5 is horizontal.
The computer and the control system, in the manner described above, also prevent the foot part 5 from coming into contact with the floor or ground. In other exemplary embodiments, a certain clearance is provided between the end of the foot part 5 and the floor or ground, so that if a foot or feet are inadvertently placed underneath the foot part 5, they are not injured.
Figure 3 shows a recliner position in which both parts 4 and 5 are horizontal.
Figure 4 shows a recliner position in which all the parts 1 to 5 are horizontal.
