Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of seating, in particular a neck support for a chair for the office area.
  • a neck support for an office chair is known, for example, from EP 1'192'880 A2.
  • a support bar is hingedly connected to the back of the chair back, and on this support rod slides a guide sleeve, at the upper end of the head pad is attached.
  • Retaining rod and guide sleeve are circular arc-shaped.
  • the distance of the head cushion to the head or neck of the user is mainly changed by pivoting of the support rod to the pivot bearing on the backrest.
  • such a change takes place but also in a height adjustment the head pad by sliding the guide sleeve on the support rod because of the circular arc-shaped movement path.
  • Another neck support is known from EP 1'186'257 A2.
  • a circular arc-shaped support rod is hinged to the upper edge of the backrest on which a likewise arcuate guide sleeve which is integrated in the head cushion, can slide up and down.
  • this neck support has proven itself, but has, like the former, the disadvantage that the removal of the head pad from the user's head is not adjustable in an optimally large area.
  • the neck support is adjustable about two axes of rotation parallel to each other mounted pivot axes, one of which extends within the backrest of the seat and the other within the headrest.
  • the object of the invention to further develop a neck support for a chair, in particular an office chair, such that it can be attached to the backrest in an aesthetically pleasing discreet manner and without excessive manufacturing and assembly effort, but still has a large adjustment range for the head of the user.
  • the neck support should have these properties even when mounted on a height-adjustable and tiltable backrest.
  • the essence of the invention is the idea to connect a straight support rod articulated to the upper edge of the backrest, and slidably provide on this a straight guide sleeve, at the upper end of the head pad is hinged.
  • the pivoting range of the support rod should be from the direction of the backrest about 35 ° to from, the head cushion about 40 °.
  • the neck support can then be executed in the technical detail that it is aesthetically pleasing and easy to manufacture and assemble, and in particular, together with a height and tilt adjustable backrest provides an optimal adjustment range for the user.
  • a section of the upper middle part of the backrest 1 of an office swivel chair is shown, to which a lower support rod 2 is connected via a lower hinge bearing 3.
  • the guide sleeve 4 is slidably disposed, which has at its upper end the upper pivot bearing 5.
  • the head pad 6 is articulated with its upper part.
  • the guide sleeve 4 In the first position extending support rod 2 and guide sleeve 4 in extension of the backrest 1, ie in the picture vertically upwards, the guide sleeve 4 assumes its lowest position. In the second position, the guide sleeve 4 is also perpendicular, but in its highest position.
  • the guide sleeve 4 is inclined forward, and the head pad 6 is once in the lowest and once in the highest position.
  • the length of the extension of the guide sleeve 4 on the support rod 2 is about 70 mm. This short extension length is possible by attaching the neck support to a not only in the inclination, but also in height adjustable backrest: the coarse adjustment can then be done with the back of the chair, and the adjustability of the neck support is only fine adjustment. Overall, this results in a considerable Einstellspektrum.
  • the support rod 2 has formed a cylinder 7 below.
  • This cylinder 7 is in the assembled state between the cylinder 8 and the cylinder 9, which are both formed at the upper end of the bearing foot 10.
  • the two sliding blocks 13 are used together with the coil spring 28 in the cylinder 7 and pressed against each other. Then the cylinder 7 is brought between the cylinders 8 and 9 and the pressure on the spring 28 is removed. As a result, the sliding blocks 13 enter the cylinders 8 and 9, and the support rod 2 is thus articulated.
  • the cylinder 7 on the holding rod 2 has such an inner shape that the sliding blocks 13 can not rotate. In the cylinder 8 and 9, however, the shape is such that the sliding blocks 13 between the stops 14 have a turning space, which allows the pivoting of the retaining rod 2.
  • disc springs 15 are provided in the cylinders 8 and 9, which are set by means of a clamping screw 16 under tension, so that the holding rod 2 is held by the friction thus generated.
  • the structure of the upper hinge bearing 5 is in principle identical to the described structure of the lower hinge bearing 3. It is therefore not once again described specifically, and the corresponding items do not bear their own reference numerals. However, this bearing is different insofar as the cylinders 8 and 9 corresponding cylinders are attached to the tab 26, which are fastened by means of screws 27 on the frame 23 of the head pad 6.
  • the clip 20 slides in the guide slot 19 and grips with its nose in the recess 25 of the guide sleeve 4, and thus serves as a pull-out protection for the sliding on the support rod 2 guide sleeve 4th
  • Fig.2 is clearly seen that the head pad 6 is held on a frame 23.
  • the preferably made of plastic frame 23 is foamed to produce the head pad 6 in polyurethane (PUR).
  • PUR polyurethane
  • the bearing base 10 is sword-like in the shaft 11 of the backrest plate 12.
  • the bearing foot below a locking lug 17 which engages in the recess 18 of the backrest plate 12 and the bearing 10 anchored firmly.
  • the mounting of the neck support on the upper edge of the backrest 1 is thus extremely simple, but still safe.
  • the neck support according to the invention by its linear height adjustment and its pivotability about two bearings provides the highest level of comfort for the user, but still with relatively little effort to manufacture and assemble.
