Definitions

  • the invention relates to a chair, in particular office chair, with an over a backrest carrier articulated on a backrest and with one synchronously movable seat, the front area via a sliding guide and the rear area via a seat link with the seat support connected is.
  • the synchronous mechanism serves to adjust the backrest change the position of the seat at the same time.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a chair, in particular a chair Office chair, with a particularly suitable and easy-to-implement synchronizing mechanism specify.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that with a chair or Seating with adjustable seat and adjustable backrest the adjustment options from the seat on the one hand and the backrest on the other can be viewed independently.
  • the construction thus points initially two degrees of freedom.
  • the backrest can be adjusted only a single degree of freedom when the articulation of the backrest on the seat support in a simple manner via the rigid with the backrest connected backrest support is realized on the seat support via a single Rotational axis is rotatably attached.
  • the seat can be more complex Have adjustment options, being analogous to the adjustability of the backrest nevertheless it can be assumed that the setting options the seat can be written with a single degree of freedom.
  • the movement can do both a translation and a tilting movement or a combination of different forms of movement.
  • the seat surface can be moved in a rigid axis connected to it be provided in the elongated hole provided in the backrest link. It is advantageous however, the upper pivot point common to the seat surface and the seat link in a corresponding slot in the backrest handlebar.
  • the seat handlebar is included expediently concave in the direction of the seat.
  • the sliding guide provided in the front seating area can be adjusted in the seat support provided slot and one guided therein, rigid with the seat connected axis or be realized by a cylinder. Regardless of that advantageously an obliquely downward in the direction of the seat support Sliding guide provided. Due to the inclined arrangement of the length compensation element effective front sliding guide of the seat not just an undesirable lifting of the front edge of the seat when leaning back avoided the backrest, but rather a lowering of the The front edge of the seat is reached when the backrest is tilted back. This Lowering is more pronounced, the more the inclination of the sliding guide deviates from the horizontal and runs towards the vertical.
  • the seat link connected to the seat outward inclination of the seat handlebars forward and down becomes more ergonomic
  • the seat increases when you lean back the backrest mainly lowers in its rear area, while at the same time the front edge of the seat back and forth moved down. This gives the seat in the desired manner in its rear area a greater range of motion than in the front Area.
  • the chair 1 designed as an office chair according to FIG. 1 comprises a fixed one Dashed base 2 connected seat support 3. With the seat support 3, a backrest 5 is rotatably connected via a backrest support 4. The Backrest 5 is out of the rest position shown in FIG. 1 the reclined position or position shown in Fig. 2 tiltable backwards. The inclination of the backrest 5 is done by a rotation of one Pivot D1.
  • the backrest support is firmly connected to the backrest 5 4 connected to the seat support 3 via an axis of rotation A, the fulcrum D1 is essentially given by the central axis of this axis of rotation A.
  • a seat surface 6 is also articulated on the seat support 3 via a seat link 7, which in the exemplary embodiment is convex in the direction of the seat 6 or is curved.
  • the seat link 7 is with the seat support 3 via a swivel joint D2 and with the seat 6 in its rear area, i.e. in the backrest 5 facing rear seat half 6b rotatable via a swivel joint D3 connected.
  • the pivot points D2 and D3 are in turn by corresponding ones Realized axes of rotation via which the seat link 7 with the seat support 3 on the one hand and is rotatably connected to the seat 6 on the other hand.
  • the seat surface 6 is connected to the seat support 3 via a sliding guide 8.
  • the sliding guide 8 can be designed in a manner not shown in the form of an elongated hole in the seat support 3 and a rigid axis 9 guided therein and connected to the seat surface 6 or — as shown — as a cylinder guided in the seat support 3. This is then rotatably connected to the seat 6 via the axis 9.
  • the sliding guide 8 is inclined in the direction of the base 2.
  • the backrest 5 is tilted backwards into that shown in Fig. 2 Positioned, the backrest support 4 is clockwise by this inclination rotated and thus the seat link 7 together with the seat 6 down emotional.
  • the angle ⁇ between the seat link 7 and the vertical increases V from about 45 ° to 60 ° to about 90 °.
  • the seat handlebar is in the end position 7 almost horizontal.
  • the seat link 7 lies with the seat surface 6 connecting upper pivot D3 based on the seat 6 lower than that the backrest support 4 with the seat support 3 connecting pivot D1, while this is in the rest position below the pivot point D3.
