Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-adjustable, adaptable to the size of the chair, in particular swivel chair, in which the seat back independent of the seat is held by two support arms that extend from a first transverse axis under the seat laterally from this backwards and variable in length as in different lengths can be determined by a locking device.
  • a chair of this type is known from DE 33 23 171 A1.
  • the well-known chair already has an adjustable seat height.
  • the support arms designed as a hollow tube, which form an angle of 30 ° with the horizontal here, mean that when the height of the backrest is raised above the seat, the seat depth increases at the same time.
  • neither the backrest nor the seat can be tilted.
  • Permanent mechanics and synchronous mechanisms are also known.
  • the seat In the case of permanent mechanics, the seat is rigidly connected to the chair base, that is, it cannot be tilted, while the backrest is attached to the chair base so that it can be tilted against the action of a spring. With the permanent mechanics, the backrest can be optimally matched to the back regardless of the seat.
  • the rigid seat does not follow the movements of the backrest, there are considerable disadvantages.
  • the seat and backrest are coupled in such a way that when the backrest is returned, the seat is also tilted backwards. However, this leads to the fact that with synchronous mechanisms the proportion of seat weight can already cause the backrest to tip backwards even in the front sitting position, so that it loses its supporting effect.
  • a chair with synchronous mechanism (DE 38 17 761 C2) is also known, in which the backrest is held by two support arms running on both sides of the seat at approximately 40 ° to the rear, which are in their foremost area, i.e. under the front edge of the seat rigid seat supports are pivotally mounted. Between this pivot axis and the connection of the support arms to the backrest, a downwardly projecting mounting bracket is provided, on which the middle area of the seat is rotatably supported.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to propose a chair with synchronous mechanism in which the seat depth, backrest height and armrest height can be adjusted simultaneously and the synchronous mechanism in the front seat posture is automatically locked so that the seat force does not lead to a reduction in the support effect of the backrest on the back.
  • the backrest is supported by two support arms mounted on the seat and extending laterally from the rear and extending in length and which can be locked in different lengths by a locking device.
  • the seat depth and backrest height are adjusted at the same time.
  • the upper part of the telescopically divided, length-adjustable support arm is also provided with an armrest, the armrest height is also adjusted at the same time.
  • the seat depth, backrest height and armrest height can thus be adjusted synchronously with a single, sensible adjustment.
  • a single chair construction can also be made accessible to an extremely wide range of user sizes, since a particularly large size change range results.
  • This range of size changes is decisively shaped by the fact that the support arms form an angle of at least 45 °, preferably more than 50 ° and at least almost 52 ° with the horizontal in the rest position. Because in this way a height adjustment range of the upper support point of the iliac crest of 180 - 230 mm is achieved in accordance with standards.
  • the armrest has a height adjustment range of 200 to 260 mm above the seating point and the seat depth can also be changed over a wide range. Given the steep position of the support arms, the optimal articulation point for their lower ends is at a distance of one third of the seat depth from the front edge of the seat.
  • the front end of the seat is mounted in the mechanical housing so that it can pivot about a horizontal axis.
  • the seat is also pushed up by a spring, just as another spring pushes the backrest forward.
  • the synchronizing mechanism is rendered ineffective in that a rigid support is set between the mechanism housing and the seat at a distance from the pivot axis of the seat. This is designed so that it is only released when the backrest is clearly and deliberately deflected by the user to the rear, and then the synchronizing mechanism can take effect.
  • the rigid support does not have any effect on the load on the seat by the user on the backrest. This does not swing back when the user sits down, nor is the force of the spring pushing the backrest forward reduced.
  • the support arms are extended beyond their articulation under the seat and each carry a swivel plate, which itself or preferably via another, on the one hand on the swivel plate and on the other hand on the transverse axis between the two levers the support articulated pull lever is connected to it and thereby dissolves or sets it up.
  • this chair also pushes the seat up and the backrest forward with a spring.
  • the spring pushing the seat upwards is inserted between the mechanical housing acting as the carrier and the seat, the point of application of this spring pushing the seat upwards being in the vicinity of the transverse axis arranged thirdly below the seat from its front edge.
  • Mechanical springs are used as springs, which have the advantage of a progressive effect compared to the almost linear identification of a gas spring: with increasing deflection, the restoring force increases. This is particularly important for the restoring force on the backrest for ergonomic reasons.
  • the seat is given an inclination of 3 to 4 ° forward in the rest position. This is the starting point for the synchronous kinematics after the support of the seat has been released, so that a pre-rotation of the pelvis is initiated to straighten the spine.
  • the specified forward tilt is a compromise between this effect achieved and a limitation of the forward tilt to a value which prevents the user from sliding forward from the seat.
  • FIG. 1 shows a chair with a chair base 10, to which a mechanical housing 12 is rigidly connected, which covers or supports all of the parts explained below.
  • a seat 14 is pivoted in the mechanical housing 12 at its front end about a transverse axis.
  • a backrest 16 is not directly connected to the seat, but via telescopic support arms 18 with a locking device 20 and armrests 22.
  • the lower end of the support arms 18 is in each case on a horizontally and transversely extending first transverse axis 24 pivoted. This applies to the lower or inner part of the telescopic support arm.
  • the upper or outer part of the telescopic support arms 18 connected to the backrest has the armrest. The user can release the rigid connection of the two parts of the support arms 18 against each other by actuating the locking device and the upper part of the support arms guided in the manner indicated in the figure on the lower part of the Pull the support arms up and fix them in the desired position.
  • Fig. 2 serves to illustrate the fact that the same construction can be adapted to very different body sizes in a wide range, as required by a large-scale product.
  • the requirements of the relevant standards are complied with or even significantly expanded with regard to the adjustment range.
  • the chair with armrest fits a table that is also adjustable in size for people, both for small and tall people and the appropriate setting under the edge of the table.
  • the back is given good lumbar support through the backrest, but on the other hand, under this support point, there is also enough space for the buttocks for people of different sizes in the space between the backrest and seat, such as that Ergonomists demand. 2 that the backrest is clearly concave in horizontal section, so that the body of the seated person is well embedded.
  • the chair shown is indeed equipped with a synchronous mechanism, so that when the backrest 16 is tilted backwards, the rear edge of the seat 14 also tilts downward, but this usual function of the synchronous mechanism in the foremost position of the backrest 16 is initially blocked.
  • Fig. 3 shows the corresponding structure in detail.
  • the mechanical housing 12 is fastened on the chair base 10 and holds the support arms 18 of the backrest (not shown in the figure) via the first transverse axis 24 and the seat 14 via a second transverse axis 26.
  • the first transverse axis 24 is to be arranged at a third of the total seat depth and as high as possible, that is to say close to the seat 14.
  • the second transverse axis 26 lies in the foremost area of the seat shell 12, that is to say at the front edge of the seat.
  • the seat 14 is slightly inclined forward. For this purpose, it is pressed upwards by a spring, as will be explained in more detail below with reference to FIG. 4.
  • the spring pivots the seat 14 about the second transverse axis 26 in the counterclockwise direction. This pivoting is limited by a rigid support from two levers connected in a third transverse axis 28.
  • the somewhat longer lever 30 is articulated at its upper end on the underside of the seat 14 and approximately vertically above the axis of the chair base 10, specifically on a dimensionally stable seat support 34 integrated in the seat 14, the front end in the mechanical housing 12 is pivotally mounted on the second transverse axis 26.
  • the figure also shows that the lower end of the somewhat shorter lever 32 is articulated somewhat next to and in front of the axis of the chair base 10.
  • the lever 32 is also supported with a rear-facing nose on top of the chair foot via a cushion.
  • the figure in particular clearly shows that the two levers 30, 32 are approximately aligned with one another, so that they form a rigid support for the seat 14 in the basic position shown in FIG. 3 (backrest in front), which is further supported by the nose of the lever 32 is. In this position, the rear end of the seat 14 cannot therefore dive downward due to the support. Rather, a rigid triangular combination of seat 14, support from the levers 30, 32 and mechanical housing 12 is formed. As a result, the synchronous mechanism in the foremost position of the backrest 16 is rendered ineffective.
  • Fig. 3 shows an embodiment in which the pivot plate 36 is connected to the pull lever 38 in a linkage 40 such that the connecting line of linkage 40 and attachment of the lower ends of the support arms 18 on the pivot plate is perpendicular to the support arms 18.
  • the pivot plate 36 further carries at its rear upper end in recesses 42 a cross bar 50 as the point of application of a compression spring 46 (see below) which presses the backrest 16 forward.
  • the swivel plate has three transverse holes 44 at the front, with the help of which, according to the wishes of the user, different backrest positions can be fixed by a pin guided in the mechanical housing.
  • the pull lever 38 has the effect that when the user leans against the backrest 16, pushes it backwards and thus pivots the support arms 18 clockwise about the first transverse axis 24, the pivot plate 36 via the pull lever 38 on the third transverse axis 28 pulls, the angle between the levers 30, 32 progressively reduced and after the pivoting of the support arms 18 by a few degrees thus dissolves the rigid support of the seat 14 on the mechanism housing 12.
  • the seat 14 is now released and can move through the synchronous mechanism coupled to the backrest with its rear section pivoting downward about the second transverse axis 26 when the backrest 16 is pivoted further backward.
  • Fig. 4 now shows, in addition, a compression spring 46 in the form of a mechanical helical spring, which is set axially parallel to the axis of the chair foot 10 in front of this in a corresponding receptacle 48 of the mechanism housing 12 and with its upper end on a cross bar 50 and via this on the swivel plate 36 and thus engages on the backrest 16 via the support arms 18, which is therefore pressed forward by the compression springs 46. If the user of the chair leans against the backrest 16, the compression spring designed as a mechanical coil spring is compressed accordingly between the crossbar 50 and its receptacle 48 and thus progressively increases its restoring force on the backrest in accordance with the spring constant.
  • a compression spring 46 in the form of a mechanical helical spring, which is set axially parallel to the axis of the chair foot 10 in front of this in a corresponding receptacle 48 of the mechanism housing 12 and with its upper end on a cross bar 50 and via this on the swivel plate 36 and
  • a compression spring 52 in the form of a mechanical coil spring can be seen, which is inserted between a first linkage 54 on the mechanical housing 12, and a second linkage 56 on the seat support 34, which is in the region of the first transverse axis 24 on the underside of the Seat 14 is provided.
  • the compression spring 52 thus serves to press the seat 14 upward about the second transverse axis 26, that is to say to pivot it counterclockwise in FIG. 4.
  • the exemplary embodiments shown in FIG. 4 for the springs 46, 52 are only two examples of numerous possibilities for spring loading of the seat 14 and backrest 16, with which these are held in the basic position. It is also clear that the compression spring 46 not only brings the backrest into the foremost position, but at the same time also ensures that the rigid support from the levers 30 and 32 is again set up in this position when it is pivoted backwards by pivoting the backrest once resolved in the manner discussed above.
