Definitions
- the invention relates to a standing aid with at least one seat surface arranged on a support frame, the at least one seat surface being adjustable via the support frame between an unloaded rest position and at least one seat position loaded by a user, and the support frame automatically adjusting the seat surface back to the rest position via a reset mechanism as soon as the load on the seat is released.
- Such standing aids are used for relieved standing wherever work-related sitting e.g. on machines, in toolmaking or behind sales counters.
- the standing aids known from practice have a support frame on which at least one seat is arranged.
- a generic standing aid is known for example from DE 26 42 112 A1.
- This known standing aid is designed as a one-leg seat, the swivel leg carrying the seat surface of which is fixed to a foot part via a reset mechanism in the form of a spring arrangement.
- the standing aid is deflected by the user sitting down on the seat and by his weight holding the standing aid in this deflected sitting position.
- the seating position is defined by the fact that the user is supported with his legs or feet on the floor and thus limits the adjustment angle of the swivel leg. It results This is an only unstable working position in the sitting position, since the user fixes the sitting position in every direction.
- the constant support of the standing aid in the sitting position means a constant load on the user, which is why such a standing aid is only suitable to a limited extent to enable relieved standing.
- the invention is based on the object of designing a standing aid of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it enables standing / sitting to be largely relieved.
- the support frame is designed as a pivot frame and anchored to a floor support frame, the support frame having at least one support leg over which the support frame in the sitting position to absorb the vertical forces and supports on the floor to limit the angle of adjustment.
- This inventive design of the standing aid enables for the first time a stable sitting position in which the user is not forced to absorb the entire vertical forces via his legs.
- the support leg serves to limit the adjustment angle of the standing aid, which results in a defined and thus stable sitting position.
- This stable seating position significantly increases the safety of use and use of a standing aid designed according to the invention, since, for example, it is no longer possible to buckle forward.
- a standing aid which automatically returns to a rest position after the user has lifted the load, in which it no longer occupies the space occupied in the sitting position. Such a standing aid is only moved into the otherwise free space when the standing aid is actually used.
- the floor anchoring of the support frame forms the abutment for the pivotable support frame.
- the restoring mechanism for moving the standing aid back into the rest position via the support frame in the unloaded state is designed as a return spring connected to the support frame.
- a return spring is advantageously designed as a spiral spring which is fixed on a pivot axis and which is tensioned when the standing aid is pivoted into the sitting position.
- the reset mechanism is designed as a counterweight pivotably articulated on the support frame, which was deflected from its end position in the sitting position of the standing aid in order to bias the support frame in the direction of the unloaded rest position.
- This design of the return mechanism as a counterweight can also be achieved in that the pivotable support frame is mounted so eccentrically that it automatically returns to the rest position when there is no load on the seat surface in the position pivoted into the sitting position.
- the seat surface can be adjusted between an unloaded rest position and two seat positions via the support frame.
- Figure 1 is a side view of a first embodiment of a standing aid according to the invention in the rest position and sitting position.
- Fig. 2 is a partially sectioned front view of the standing handle according to FIG. 1 in the rest position and
- Fig. 3 is a side view showing the standing aid in the rest position and two sitting positions.
- the standing aid shown in FIG. 1 essentially consists of a support frame 1 which is anchored to a floor 3 via a base plate 2 and a seat 4 arranged at the upper end of the support frame 1. 1 and 2, the base plate 2 has three bearing brackets 5, by means of which the struts 1a, 1b and 1c forming the support frame 1 are mounted on the base plate 2 so as to be pivotable about pivot axes 6.
- the support frame 1 consists of two struts 1a mounted on the outer bearing brackets 5 and connected to the seat surface 4, one strut 1b supported on the central bearing bracket 5 and two struts 1c, each of which connects a strut 1a to the strut 1b and serve in a sitting position S of the standing aid as support legs 1c, which limit the pivoting of the support frame 1.
- FIG. 3 finally shows a standing aid which can be pivoted between the rest position R shown in dashed lines and two sitting positions S.
- the struts 1a, 1b and 1c forming the support frame 1 follow the swivel movement via the swivel axes 6 until the strut 1c serving as the support leg 1c stands on the floor 3 and thus ends the swivel movement.
- a spring (not shown) is tensioned, via which the standing aid is automatically pivoted back into the rest position R as soon as no more pressure is exerted on the seat surface 4.
- the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is particularly space-saving, since a standing aid can be adjusted between two sitting and thus working positions on workbenches 9, for example.
