Definitions

  • the invention relates to an armchair for a straight sitting posture of the user with crossed legs (Turkish seat).
  • the invention was based on the object of creating a novel armchair which enables a completely natural straight sitting posture and thereby combines the Far Eastern seating culture (meditation posture) with the western seating culture in a harmonious manner.
  • the invention proposes an armchair of the type specified at the outset, which is characterized in accordance with the invention in that the seat of the armchair is pulled up on both sides and possibly also at the front, widens towards the front and to which the crossed legs of the
  • the resulting body contour of the user is adapted so that a central elevation forming an extension of the user's coccyx is provided in the rear region of the seat, that the backrest surface has a bulge lying approximately in the region of the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae of the user, and that the seat surface is optionally in the Has area of the two buttocks of the user's indentations.
  • the seat surface which is adapted to the contour of the body resulting from the crossed legs, automatically results in a completely straight sitting posture, in which all energy centers on the spine and the abdominal area are "free".
  • This straight posture is due to the "central extension of the coccyx forming an extension of the coccyx supports.
  • the bulge of the backrest area in the area of the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae automatically straightens and stimulates.
  • the raised side parts of the seat provide lateral support for the thighs.
  • the indentations provided in the area of the two buttocks halves, as well as the possibly raised seat, can prevent the body from sliding forward in the armchair.
  • the upper edge regions of the raised side parts of the seat surface can be pulled outwards and form armrest surfaces.
  • the height of the raised side parts of the seat surface can increase towards the backrest surface. This results in armrests sloping forward, which relax the arm muscles.
  • the seat surface in the area of the thighs can have an elevation. This training is especially intended for people who have problems getting their legs into a folded position.
  • the seat surface with its raised side parts and the backrest surface merge into one another like a shell seat.
  • a "seat shell shape” is particularly advantageous with regard to cost-effective production from plastic.
  • FIG. 1 schematically an armchair according to the invention in front view
  • Fig. 2 the armchair of Fig. 1 in plan view
  • Fig. 3 on a larger scale the course of the seat and backrest surface along the section line III-III in Fig. 1
  • Fig. 4 on a larger scale Course of the seat and backrest area along the section line IV-IV in FIG. 1
  • FIG. 5 on a larger scale the course of the seat area along the section line VV in FIG. 2.
  • the armchair according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 which can be made of any material, has a seating surface 1 with respect to its purpose, namely to enable the user to sit in a straight position with crossed legs widened towards the front and adapted to the shape of the body resulting from the crossed legs.
  • the seat 1 is pulled up laterally (at 3.3 ') in order to provide lateral support for the thighs of the user. If necessary, the seat 1 can also be pulled up a little at the front to prevent the body from sliding forward in the armchair.
  • the seat 1 In its rear area, the seat 1 has a central elevation 4 (which can be seen in particular in FIGS. 1 and 3 and is indicated in dashed lines in FIG. 2), which supports the user's coccyx and thus a kind of extension of the coccyx or In other words, forms a kind of artificial vertebral process that contributes decisively to the desired, completely straight posture.
  • a central elevation 4 which can be seen in particular in FIGS. 1 and 3 and is indicated in dashed lines in FIG. 2
  • the seat 1 has a central elevation 4 (which can be seen in particular in FIGS. 1 and 3 and is indicated in dashed lines in FIG. 2), which supports the user's coccyx and thus a kind of extension of the coccyx or In other words, forms a kind of artificial vertebral process that contributes decisively to the desired, completely straight posture.
  • a further essential feature of the invention is a bulge 5 located in the backrest surface 2 in the area of the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae of the user (see FIG. 3, indicated in FIG. 1 with a broken line), which automatically straightens and stimulates the user's backbone.
  • indentations 6, 6 ' are provided in the seat 1 in the region of the buttocks of the user. These indentations 6, 6' are not absolutely necessary, but represent an advantageous development of the invention.
  • the seat 1 with its raised side parts 3, 3 'and the backrest surface 2 merge into one another like a shell seat, which gives the user a feeling of security.
  • a bucket seat shape is advantageous with regard to the inexpensive manufacture of the armchair from plastic.
  • the seat surface 1 continuously drops somewhat from the rear to the front.
  • Such training is more intended for people for whom sitting with crossed legs is not a problem.
  • the seat 1 in the area of the thighs can have a more or less strong elevation (not shown) in order to achieve optimal support of the thighs and to ensure good circulation in the legs .
  • the sitting posture achieved by the armchair according to the invention enables the body, soul and spirit to be centered and stimulates the entire body by stimulating the lower energy centers (1st and 2nd chakra).
  • the use of the armchair according to the invention over longer periods of time leads to an improvement in the entire supporting apparatus, to a stimulation of the digestive activity and to a general improvement of the gastrointestinal tract.
  • the seating position achieved with the armchair according to the invention corresponds to the natural posture of many children, it could offer a possibility for more concentrated and integrated learning and prevent early changes to the spine through incorrect sitting at school.
  • the application would also be important for "sedentary professions": less loss of work due to diseases of the musculoskeletal system, better decision-making through a more centered attitude, more inspired, creative and holistic thinking.
  • the armchair is intended for people who want to act and live in a centered manner in all areas of life, which results in the diverse range of applications.
