Definitions

  • the invention relates to a chair according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention now aims to avoid this relative movement or at least to reduce it in such a way that it is no longer noticeable.
  • a chair of the type mentioned is characterized according to the invention by the features of the characterizing part of the claim.
  • FIG. 1 shows a possible embodiment of such a known chair.
  • the standpipe of the chair is called.
  • This has a seat support 2 with tabs 3 (only one visible) which contain an axis of rotation 4 for the seat 5 formed from pins or the like.
  • Standpipe 1, seat support 2, tabs 3 and thus also the axis of rotation 4 are to be regarded as stationary for the following explanations; they are therefore also shown in this figure as if they formed a single part.
  • the seat 5 is the first of the movable parts in that it can be pivoted about the axis of rotation 4.
  • the solid line shows the seat in its normal position; the dashed line, marked 5 ', shows it in its tilted or inclined position, into which it can be brought by a leaning user.
  • the pivot angle between the starting position 5 and the inclined position 5 ' is denoted by a.
  • the seat has a pivot axis 6 at its rear end. A further movable part is attached to this, namely the backrest, which is denoted overall by 7, is pivotable. It continues below the pivot axis 6 in a guide part 8 consisting of two parallel supports (only one support visible in FIG. 1). This is rigidly connected to the backrest 7.
  • the seat 5 is not only pivotable about the axis of rotation 4, but is also mounted in a longitudinally displaceable manner, as will be shown on the basis of the following explanations.
  • the guide part 8 can namely be pivoted about a pivot axis 9a attached to the rigid seat support 2, and since it is consequently stationary, it forms the center of the pivoting movement of all movable parts, i.e. the seat 5, the backrest 7 and the guide part 8 together with the pivot axis 6 it follows from this, in particular when looking at FIG. 1, that the seat not only pivots about the axis of rotation 4, but also has to move along the same, which is made possible by suitable means, usually by elongated holes.
  • a piston rod 10 of a cylinder-piston unit usually a gas spring 11 of a commercially available type, which must also be pivotably mounted due to the movement of the pivot axis 6, specifically at the upper end of the standpipe 1.
  • the pivot axis 6 also changes its position as mentioned; the new location is designated 6 '. In doing so, she travels a distance labeled a.
  • the guide part 8 also changes its position, since it carries the pivot axis 6. Its new layer 8 'forms an angle with the old layer 8 which is larger than the angle a. Since the backrest 7 is rigidly connected to the guide part 8, it also changes its position to the same extent. It also swivels from 7 to 7 'by this angle, which is denoted by ⁇ . She points So in this position to the seat at a larger angle than in the starting position.
  • Fig. 2 shows schematically some structural details.
  • the seat 5 is shown partially broken away to show the underlying organs. It can be seen that the seat support 2 widens considerably at its front end, that is to say it is T-shaped, in order to carry one tab 3 each.
  • the axis of rotation 4 can consist of two short swivel shafts about which the seat 5 can swing.
  • the pivot axis 6, however, is continuous because of the bearing of the piston rod 10; it is attached to the underside of the seat 5 in a known and therefore not shown manner.
  • the guide part 8 consisting of the two mentioned supports, and the backrest 7 are rigidly connected to one another, these parts are shown as a single part.
  • the backrest 7 not only makes a circular pivoting movement, but also lowers by the distance a. If you consider a point on the backrest, for example the upper end E, it moves according to the arrows 12 to the position E '.
  • FIG. 3 the same parts as in FIG. 1 can initially be seen.
  • the backrest 7 has changed somewhat, as will be explained.
  • the position of the gas spring 11 has also changed. It is now pivotally attached to the seat support 2.
  • an approximately L-shaped pair of transmission levers 13 (only one lever can be seen in FIG. 3) and a driver bow 14 have been newly added.
  • the pair of transmission levers 13 has three articulation points.
  • each of the L-shaped levers With the short leg 13a of each of the L-shaped levers, the pair of levers is articulated on the pivot axis 9 of the guide part 8 and on the piston rod 10 of the gas spring.
  • Another articulation point is designated 15; this is the actual axis of rotation, which is fixedly attached to immovable seat support 2 and about which the pair of transmission levers 13 rotates.
  • the last articulation point 16 is located on the longer leg 1 3b of each lever and is formed by an axis with which the driver bow 14 is articulated on the transmission lever pair 13 (FIG. 4).
  • the driver bow 14 a rigid, curved, elongated plate, is articulated on a backrest plate 70 at its other end. Details can be found above all in FIG. 5, which is yet to be explained.
  • This backrest plate 70 is slidably supported by sliders 71 on a guide consisting of two guide rails 72, which form a direct continuation of each support of the guide part 8. 5, the sliders 71 have a recess 73 into which a projecting rib 74 of each guide rail 72 engages.
  • the driver bow 14 is connected to the backrest plate 70 in an articulated manner via a pivot axis 17, this pivot axis passing through two tabs 75 rigidly attached to the plate.
  • the embodiment shown here shows thus a mechanical adjustment device. It goes without saying that other adjustment devices, for example hydraulic or electrical, could also be used to bring about the same effect. It should also be pointed out that, especially when using such adjustment devices, a reverse relative movement between the backrest and the seat can also take place, in that the latter is raised at the inclination while the backrest or the backrest plate merely inclines. By lifting the seat, the same relative displacement between the seat and the backrest results in this case as in the example shown.
