Definitions
- the invention relates to a chair, in particular office chair, with a backrest which is infinitely adjustable in its inclined position relative to a seat and pretensioned in one of its end positions, which is held in its inclined positions by a frictional multi-plate clutch which has at least one tension spring acting on the plates and which can be actuated by means of a handle lever arranged below the seat surface, the at least one tension spring being arranged concentrically on an axially adjustable bearing pin which is guided through slots in the clutch plates and forms an abutment for the tension spring.
- Frictional multi-plate clutches for the backrests of office chairs are already known in various embodiments.
- the multi-plate clutch is actuated by the chair user by means of a screw nut, with the disadvantage that the strength of the frictional connection depends on the rotational position of a clamping nut and thus ultimately on the force of an operator.
- a construction with the above features and with the power of a chair user independent frictional engagement of the multi-plate clutch is known from DE-PS 29 27 377.
- this construction does not take into account the existing requirement in modern office chairs for a compact structure and the possibility that a chair user can rock freely with the backrest without constantly having to operate a lever.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of designing a chair with the features mentioned at the beginning of a device for tilting the backrest in such a way that the adjusting device allows a compact structure with few individual parts with optional locking or releasing the backrest.
- the handle lever is connected to a release cam which acts on a link part which is coupled to the axially adjustable bearing pin and which has a latching recess for the release cam at least in one of its end positions.
- the release cam connected to the handle lever can be pivotable about a fixed axis and can rest against a profiled surface of the link part, which can be designed as a driving connection with the axially adjustable bearing pin in both directions, pivotable about a fixed axis rocker arm.
- both the actuation of the friction multi-plate clutch and its locking in its release position or its clutch position are achieved solely by these two parts in the chair designed according to the invention Release cam and the link part, reached without additional safety parts. This results in a space-saving, compact design of the friction clutch and their actuating part possible.
- the pivotable release cam can have a locking lug, which in both end positions of the release cam fits into a locking recess of the profiled contact surface of the rocker arm, which has an oblique sliding surface leading to the rocking movement of the rocker arm between its locking recesses.
- the trigger cam in its two pivoting directions can always be held against the rocker arm, which remains exposed to the action of the tension spring due to its driving coupling with the bearing pin - albeit with changing spring force.
- the pivot bearing of the rocker arm can also be designed as an open bearing, expediently consist of a bearing half-shell, in which the rocker arm engages appropriately with a bearing projection having a partial circular cross section. The subsequent formation of bearing bores and the use of a separate bearing pin can therefore be omitted.
- the construction according to the invention allows the few individual parts to be produced in their final shape, completely or largely without post-processing of these parts.
- Fig. 1 shows part of a chair frame of a seat support plate 10 and a vertical bearing plate 11 connected to the seat support plate and a horizontal mounting plate 12 of the seat support part of the chair frame.
- a support arm 13 can be seen from a backrest support, to which, in the construction shown, a second, identical support arm, not shown, which runs parallel and at a distance from it is associated.
- Both support arms can be pivoted about a pivot axis 14 arranged in the bearing plate 11 about a limited angular range which can be seen at an elongated hole 15 of the bearing plate 11, and are mounted so as to be continuously lockable in this pivoting region.
- FIGS. Fig. 1 shows that long plates 17 of the multi-plate clutch are also mounted on the pivot axis 14 for the support arms 13 and with their ends protruding from the coupling 16 are connected to each other by a rod 18, which through the already mentioned, the inclination limiting slot 15th protrudes in the bearing plate 11.
- a spring torsion spring 19 pushed onto the pivot axis 14 engages the rod 18 with its one spring end 19.1.
- the other spring end 19.2 is supported on the mounting plate 12.
- the screw torsion spring 19 causes a pretension via the rod 18 the support arms 13 in a front end position of the backrest support with its support arms 13, which is shown in Fig. 1.
- the long fins 17 with large openings 17.1 are pushed with a known interposition of short fins 20 over a bearing pin 21 which is axially displaceably mounted in a coupling housing 22 fastened on the mounting plate 12.
- the disk pack 17/20 of the disk clutch lies on the one hand against a fixed wall 23 of the clutch housing 22 and is limited on the other hand by a thrust washer 24 which is also pushed onto the bearing pin 21 and which is simultaneously guided in a bearing opening 25 of the bearing housing 22.
- disc springs 26 - On the outside of the thrust washer 24 there are disc springs 26 - here four disc springs - which are also pushed onto the bearing pin 21 and whose other abutment is formed by a clampable screw nut 27 which is screwed onto a threaded end 21.1 of the bearing pin 21.
- the other end 21.2 of the bearing pin 21, which also protrudes from the clutch housing 22, is coupled via a driver cross pin 28 to a plate-shaped rocker arm 29, the plate shape of which can best be seen from FIG. 1, which also shows a groove 30 of the rocker arm 29, in which engages the driving cross bolt 28.
- the rocker arm 29 coupled in its central part to the bearing pin 21 is provided at its lower end with a projecting web 31 with a semicircular cross section, which engages in a suitable manner in a bearing groove 32 formed on the clutch housing 22.
- Web 31 and bearing groove 32 form the pivot bearing point for the rocker arm 29, which is provided in the region of its other end with a profiled link surface 33 which interacts with the detent 34 of a release cam 35.
- the trigger cam 35 is mounted in the coupling housing 22 so as to be pivotable about an axis 36 and is not provided for reasons of clarity lever mechanism shown connected to a handle lever arranged below the chair seat in the grip area of a chair user.
- the link surface 33 is limited towards the free end of the rocker arm 29 by a stop web 33.1. This web is followed by a first latching surface 33.2, followed by an inclined sliding surface 33.3. The backdrop surface finally ends with a second locking surface 33.4.
- FIG. 1 and 2 show the release cam 35 in a position in which the multi-plate clutch is in frictional engagement of its plates 17, 20.
- the locking lug 34 of the release cam 35 is self-locking on the locking surface 33.4 of the rocker arm 29, which is pivoted clockwise around its bearing point 31/32 and has axially displaced the bearing pin 21 in the drawing to the right.
- the plate springs 26 have been pressed together and exert a clamping pressure on the plates 17, 20 of the multi-plate clutch 16 via the clamping plate 24.
- the latching cams 34 can be released from the latching surface 33.4 of the rocker arm 29 for releasing the multi-plate clutch, so that it moves along the link surface 33 of the rocker arm 29 under the tension of the plate springs 26 up to a system slides against the first locking surface 33.2 of the link surface 33 of the rocker arm 29.
- the bearing pin 21 can move back to the left in the drawing until the disc springs 26 relax and the frictional engagement of the lamellae is released.
