Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf das Gebiet der Möbelindustrie. Sie betrifft eine Nackenstütze für einen Bürodrehstuhl mit einer zwecks Neigungsverstellung beweglich an einem Träger gelagerten Rückenlehne.The invention relates to the field of the furniture industry. It affects one Neck rest for an office swivel chair with a tilt adjustment movable backrest on a support.
Bekannt sind Bürostühle mit einer Rückenlehnenmechanik oder einer Synchronmechanik, welche eine Neigung der Rückenlehne während der Benutzung realisieren. Der Trend der Hersteller bei derartigen Stühlen geht zur Zeit dahin, immer stärkere Rückenlehnenneigungen zu ermöglichen.Office chairs with a backrest mechanism or one are known Synchronous mechanism, which inclines the backrest during the Realize use. The trend of the manufacturers with such chairs goes Time to allow more and more backrests.
Für die Bandscheibenentlastung ist dies ohne Zweifel von Vorteil. Für die Nackenmuskulatur ist dies jedoch problematisch, da der Nutzer mehr Kraft aufwenden muß, um das nach hinten geneigte Kopfgewicht zu halten.This is undoubtedly an advantage for spinal disc relief. For the Neck muscles, however, this is problematic because the user has more strength must spend to keep the head weight tilted back.
Dies führt bei längerem Sitzen in der zurückgeneigten Haltung zwangsläufig zu Nackenverspannungen, insbesondere dann, wenn in der zurückgeneigten Haltung am Minitor gearbeitet wird. Um dies zu verhindern, benötigt ein Stuhl mit starker Rückenlehnenneigung eine Kopf- oder Nackenstütze. This inevitably leads to prolonged sitting in the reclined posture Neck tension, especially when in a reclined position working on the minitor. To prevent this, a chair with a strong needs Backrest inclination a head or neck rest.
Bürostühle mit Kopfstützen oder auch mit hohen Rückenlehnen, die den Kopfbereich stützen, sind seit längerem auf dem Markt vertreten. Die Kopfstützen sind in ihrer Höhe unveränderlich und meist nicht neigungsverstellbar. Es sind aber auch Lösungen bekannt, bei welchen die Neigung der Kopfstütze mit Hilfe eines zwischen Rückenlehne und Kopfstütze angeordneten Gelenkes verändert werden kann.Office chairs with headrests or with high backrests, which the Support head area have been on the market for a long time. The headrests are unchangeable in height and mostly cannot be tilted. There are but also known solutions in which the inclination of the headrest with the help a joint arranged between the backrest and headrest changed can be.
Die bekannten Kopfstützen haben den Nachteil, daß es dem Benutzer nicht möglich ist, in der zurückgelehnten Haltung am Monitor zu arbeiten, weil sie den Kopf bzw. den Nacken nicht punktgenau so unterstützen, daß eine Kopfhaltung gestützt wird, die einen praktikablen Sichtwinkel zum Monitor ermöglicht.The known headrests have the disadvantage that the user does not it is possible to work in the reclined posture on the monitor because it is the Do not support the head or neck precisely so that a head posture is supported, which enables a practical viewing angle to the monitor.

während der Benutzung an einem Computer-Arbeitsplatz. Der Bürodrehstuhl 1
weist eine an einem Träger 3 beweglich gelagerte Rückenlehne 4 auf. Diese
Rückenlehne 4 ist in ihrer Neigung verstellbar. Die Rückenlehne 4 und die
Nackenstütze 2 sind über eine Gelenkverbindung 5, welche in Fig. 4 näher
beschrieben ist, verbunden. Wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, sitzt ein Benutzer
insbesondere bei der Arbeit an einem Monitor 6 in zurückgelehnter Haltung im
Bürodrehstuhl. Mit Hilfe der erfindungsgemäßen höhen- und
neigungsverstellbaren Nackenstütze wird die Kopf- und Nackenhaltung des
Benutzers punktgenau so gestützt, daß ein ergonomisch richtiger Blickwinkel zum
Monitor gegeben ist, d.h. die Bildschirmoberkante des Monitors 6 und die
Augenhöhe des Benutzers befinden sich auf einer (gedachten) horizontalen
Sichtlinie 7.1 shows an office swivel chair 1 with a
Fig. 2 zeigt schematisch in einer Seitensicht die Höhenverstellbarkeit und Fig.3 die
Neigungsverstellbarkeit der erfindungsgemäßen Nackenstütze 2. Von der
Nackenstütze 2 sind dabei jeweils nur die gekrümmten Seitenteile 8 des Rahmens
und das gekrümmte Polsterteil 9 zu sehen. Außerdem ist die Gelenkverbindung 5
zwischen Nackenstütze 2 und Rückenlehne 4 dargestellt. Die durchgezogenen
Linien in Fig. 2 zeigen die Nackenstütze 2 in zurückgeschobener Stellung
(geringste Höhe) des Polsterteiles 9, die gestrichelten Linien in der höchsten
Stellung. Auf Grund der gekrümmten Bauteile folgt die Höhenverstellung einer
Kreisumlaufbahn (siehe Strich-Punkt-Linie).Fig. 2 shows schematically in a side view the height adjustability and Fig.3 the
Tilt adjustability of the neck support according to the
In Fig. 3 ist die Nackenstütze 2 in einer Standardstellung dargestellt

Richtung des Benutzers geneigten Stellung.In Fig. 3 the
Fig. 4 zeigt einen Teillängsschnitt durch Nackenstütze und Rückenlehnenträger
des Bürodrehstuhles 1, aus welchem der genaue Aufbau der erfindungsgemäßen
Nackenstütze 2 hervorgeht. Die Nackenstütze 2 besteht aus einem tragenden
Rahmen mit zwei kreissegmentförmig gekrümmten Seitenstegen 8, von denen
aus Symmetriegründen nur ein Steg 8 in Fig. 4 abgebildet ist, sowie einer die
Stege 8 verbindenden Traverse 10 und einem gekrümmten Polsterteil 9. Das
Polsterteil 9 besteht aus einer u-förmigen Polsterplatte 11 und dem Polster 12
selbst.Fig. 4 shows a partial longitudinal section through the neck support and backrest support
of the office swivel chair 1, from which the exact structure of the
Die Seitenstege 8 des Nackenstützenrahmens besitzen an ihrem unteren Ende
jeweils eine Gelenkpfanne 16. Sie verfügen außerdem über eine innenseitige
Führungsnut 13. Die Polsterplatte 11 ist seitlich jeweils mit Nutensteinen 14
versehen, welche in der Führungsnut 13 geführt werden. Die Traverse 10 weist
eine mittig angeordnete Führungsbahn 15 auf, in welcher die Polsterplatte 11
zusätzlich geführt wird. Durch Verschiebung der Polsterplatte 11 in der
Führungsnut 13 bzw. Führungsbahn 15 wird somit die Höhenverstellung der
Nackenstütze 2 realisiert.The
Die Rückenlehne 4 weist einen Rückenlehnenrahmen 17 mit zwei Gelenkpfannen
18 auf, welche mit den beiden Gelenkpfannen 16 an den Seitenstegen 8 der
Nackenstütze 2 korrespondieren. In den Gelenkpfannen 16 des
Rückenlehnenrahmens 17 sind jeweils zwei Tellerfedern 19 axial angeordnet.
Eine Schraubverbindung 20 hält einerseits die beiden Gelenkpfannen 16, 18
zusammen, andererseits dient sie dazu, die Tellerfedern 19 derart vorzuspannen,
daß ein bestimmter Reibwert zwischen den beiden Gelenkpfannen 16 des
Rahmens der Nackenstütze 2 und den beiden Gelenkpfannen 18 an der
Rückenlehne 4 wirksam wird und so ein bestimmter Widerstand der
Neigungsverstellung resultiert. Der Widerstand des Neigungsgelenkes 5 ist
notwendig, damit die Nackenstütze einerseits das Kopfgewicht hält und
andererseits eine situative Verstellung der Neigung zuläßt. Mit der
erfindungsgemäßen Lösung kann somit ein Nutzer des Bürostuhles individuell
einstellen, wie schwergängig das Gelenk verstellbar ist.The

21, 22. Aus Gründen der Montierbarkeit der Nackenstütze 2 ist an der u-förmige
Polsterplatte 11 zwecks Aufklappbarkeit ihrer Stege ein Filmscharnier 21
angeordnet. Auf diese Weise kann das u-förmige Polsterteil 9
auseinandergeklappt und einfach über die Traverse 10 des Rahmens der
Nackenstütze 2 gebracht werden. Danach werden die beiden Stege des
Polsterteiles 9 von unten mittels Verbindungselemente 22, hier Schrauben,
miteinander verbunden, so daß das Polsterteil fest am Rahmen angebracht ist
und während der Benutzung nicht verrutscht.Fig. 5 shows a side view of the
