Definitions

  • the invention relates to a chair with a bearing part, on which a seat part is supported by a joint and a backrest part having a backrest and a backrest lever by the backrest lever in a further joint, one of the joints being a thrust swivel joint and seat part and backrest part a swivel joint are coupled to each other, stand under the action of at least one spring element and can be tilted into different positions, the seat part and backrest part executing a relative movement to one another which is superimposed on their pivoting movement when they change to another position.
  • a chair according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from WO-A-8 300 610 (Fig. 1).
  • the chair in which both the seat part and the backrest part can be tilted are known in various designs. On the one hand, these allow the user to take up a work position in which the backrest is approximately vertical and supports the user in the back, and on the other hand to take a rest position.
  • the chair in this case has a seat part and a backrest part which are coupled to one another and can be inclined relative to a bearing part.
  • the bearing part is usually designed as a base on which the seat part and the backrest part are pivotably mounted.
  • the backrest which is displaceable relative to the backrest part and controlled by the additional linkage, is a construction which is produced from a relatively large number of parts which have to be machined correspondingly precisely.
  • the invention comes in, which is based on the object of designing a chair of the type described at the outset in such a way that the “pull-out effect is avoided without requiring more parts than is necessary for the known simple design described at the outset.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in that the seat part has an extension part which extends beyond the swivel joint against the backrest and the backrest lever has an extension arm connecting the backrest to the swivel joint.
  • Fig. 1 shows the kinematic equivalent image of a chair without a base frame, the latter being replaced by two fixed bearing points 1, 2.
  • a seat part 3 is mounted by means of a thrust swivel 4.
  • a backrest part 6 is mounted by means of a swivel joint 5.
  • the backrest part 6 is composed of a backrest 7 and a backrest lever 8, the backrest lever 8 being coupled to the seat part 3 by means of a swivel joint 9.
  • the seat part 3 has an extension part 10 which extends from the joint 9 to the area of the backrest 7.
  • the backrest lever 8 has an extension arm 11 which extends from the joint 9 against the backrest 7 in an analogous manner to the extension part 10 and carries it.
  • the extended position of the individual parts shown in FIG. 1 corresponds to the working position, ie the backrest 7 assumes an approximately vertical position to support the back of the user. So that this position is assumed automatically, the free end 12 of the extension part 10 with the backrest 7 by a spring element 13, for. B. a mechanical compression spring element or a gas pressure spring connected.
  • a spring element 13 for. B. a mechanical compression spring element or a gas pressure spring connected.
  • the arrangement of one or more spring elements 13 need not lie exclusively in the area of the backrest 7.
  • the seat part 3 and the backrest part 6 can also be supported in a different way by the spring element or the spring elements 13, for. B. in that one end of the suspension is supported on the base and the other end acts either on the backrest part 6 or the seat part 3. This arrangement is appropriately made so that it does not adversely affect the appearance of the chair becomes.
  • FIG. 2-4 shows the constructive solution of the kinematic substitute image according to FIG. 1, the same reference numbers as in FIG. 1 being used for the same parts.
  • the two fixed bearing points 1, 2 are replaced by a bearing part 20, each having a bearing leg 22 arranged on both sides of the plane of symmetry 21 of the chair, which is supported by a cross strut 23 on a bearing head 24 which with a vertically located pivot shaft 25 is connected.
  • the bearing part 20 can, for example, be part of a base frame (not shown), the center column of which is supported on a base and is the mounting for the pivot shaft 25.
  • a back portion 27, z. B. a back cushion shown in dash-dot lines.
  • the parts 26, 27 make the movements of the corresponding parts 3, 6.
  • the seat part 3 is a frame, see FIG. 4, which is composed of two hollow profile legs 30 arranged symmetrically to the plane of symmetry 21 of the chair, which are connected to one another by a cross member 31.
  • the hollow profile legs 30 are formed from two nested U-profiles 32, 33, see FIG. 3, the lower profile 33 forming a recess 34, into each of which a backrest lever 8 fits.
  • Two backrest struts 35 adjoin the two backrest levers 8, which together with a backrest cross-member 36 connecting the two backrest struts 35 and the backrest levers 8 form the frame-shaped backrest 7.
  • a pair of webs 37, 38 is fastened, the webs of which have bores for receiving bolts with which the spring element 13 is held at its ends.
  • the design of the chair shown in Fig. 2-4 is not only a simple one. but also represents a space-saving solution. since the backrest levers 8 are at least partially within the hollow profile legs 30 of the seat part 3. 2, the rest position of the chair is also shown in dashed lines, the unequal lowering lengths A, a of the hollow profile legs 30 and the backrest lever 8 also being recognizable.
  • the embodiment of the chair shown in FIGS. 2-4 has spaced hollow profile legs 30 and backrest levers 8. If this distance is now made smaller and smaller, an embodiment is also conceivable in which the hollow profile legs 30 and the backrest levers 8 each merge into a single part; if necessary, recesses would have to be provided for the bearing head 24 in the seat part leg and for the spring element 13 in the backrest part 6.
  • the seat section 26 and the back section 27 can be supported on this one-leg construction without difficulty.
