Definitions

  • the present invention relates to chairs, and in particular to office chairs.
  • the back-rest In office chairs the back-rest is known to be connected to the seat by a connection device by which the back-rest is supported.
  • the object of the present invention is to obviate the aforesaid drawbacks by providing a chair, in particular an office chair, which when not in use or when having to be stored or otherwise placed out of service, has a decidedly smaller bulk and consequently requires packaging containers or wrappings of smaller size than similar known chairs.
  • connection device between the back-rest and seat comprises an articulated joint which enables the back-rest to be folded onto the seat.
  • the chair when not in use, the chair can be made to assume a configuration having an overall size considerably less than that of the chair during use.
  • the chair when in its reduced-size configuration, the chair can be inserted under a desk, so that in practice the chair no longer exists in terms of the spatial utilization of the room in which the desk under which the chair is inserted is located.
  • connection device 10 of Figures 1 and 2 enables the back-rest of an office chair (such a chair could however also have other uses) to be connected to the relative seat.
  • the device 10 presents a lower arm 12 which enables it to be connected (for example by screws) to the lower face of the chair seat (not shown).
  • the device 10 also presents an upperly extending upper arm 14 to which the chair back-rest is fixed (for example by screws).
  • the two arms 12 and 14 are connected together by an articulated joint 16 which, as can be seen from Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8, enables the upper arm 14 of the device 10 to be rotated from its position shown in Figures 1 and 2 (chair utilization position), corresponding to the condition of the articulated joint shown in Figures 5 and 7, into its folded position shown for simplicity only in Figure 6 but in any event also easily deducible from the condition of the articulated joint 16 shown in Figure 8.
  • an articulated joint 16 which, as can be seen from Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8, enables the upper arm 14 of the device 10 to be rotated from its position shown in Figures 1 and 2 (chair utilization position), corresponding to the condition of the articulated joint shown in Figures 5 and 7, into its folded position shown for simplicity only in Figure 6 but in any event also easily deducible from the condition of the articulated joint 16 shown in Figure 8.
  • the articulated joint 16 is composed of various parts and specifically a front upper part 18, shown alone in Figures 9-14, a rear upper part 20, shown alone in Figures 15-20, a front lower part 22, shown alone in Figures 27-32, a rear lower part 24, shown alone in Figures 21-26, and a pin 26, shown alone in Figures 33-37. All these pieces are assembled in this specific case by socket head screws 28, as shown in Figures 3-8.
  • the lower end of the upper arm 14 is inserted into the longitudinal slot 30 provided in the pin 26, this latter presenting in the vicinity of each of its two ends a radially projecting peg 32.
  • the two pegs 32 act as limit stops for the folding of the chair back-rest, the pegs 32 coming to rest against a step provided in the lower rear part 24 of the articulated joint 16.
  • a limit stop is likewise provided to maintain the back-rest in the chair utilization position, and is in the form of a step 34 provided in the lower front part 22 of the articulated joint 16, to interfere with a step 36 provided in the upper front part 18 of the articulated joint.
  • connection device 10 is extremely simple and rapid to mount.
