Definitions

  • the present invention relates to seats, both those intended to be static, such as chairs, chairs or stools, etc to equip vehicles. It relates, more particularly, both an ergonomic seat module and a seat equipped with this module.
  • the saddle In the static seats, the saddle is generally formed of a rigid material plate, which is optionally covered with a cushion. This saddle can be completed by a backrest and armrests. Certain seats, more particularly intended for persons working at an office, for example, by means of a computer, comprise articulations and elastic members making it possible to incline more or less the saddle and the backrest.
  • the document GB-A-2176396 shows for example such a seat.
  • the saddles of bicycles or motor-cycles generally comprise a rigid frame, comprising a pommel and a cantle, and a piece, generally triangular in shape connecting the pommel to the cantle and forming the support surface.
  • This piece has a certain flexibility allowing adaptation to the position of the user, defined by the adjustment of the different parts of the vehicle.
  • Saddles of this type have been arranged on fixed supports, in order to make static seats. If, in general, the comfort of a bicycle seat is not disputed, the application of the same principle to a fixed seat is unconvincing. it probably comes from the fact that, in a static situation, the user's organs, in contact with the saddle, remain fixed, while on a bicycle, they are in quasi-permanent movement.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a seat with an ergonomic saddle that practically forces the user to take a posture in which his levitation muscles are naturally and automatically solicited, thus avoiding health problems.
  • the present invention also relates to a seat provided with a support in contact with the ground and a seat module as defined above, characterized in that the support comprises an arm extending towards the front and towards the top and carrying a crossbar forming a support to the knees of the user and padded to form a cushion.
  • the seat module - or saddle - essentially comprises a frame 10, a fork-shaped frame 12, a hinge 14 connecting, in an articulated manner, the frame 10 and the fork 12, and an elastic membrane 16, visible only in Figures 3 and 4.
  • the seat has a symmetrical structure with reference to a vertical plane passing through the lines II-II of Figures 1 and 3.
  • the frame 10 has, in plan, the shape of a T, whose leg 18, placed in the axis 11-11, extends forward and is curved upwards to end by a knob 20.
  • the arms 22 of the T perpendicular to the axis, have their ends 22a raised and pierced with a hole not visible in the drawing.
  • the frame 10 has a central portion 24 provided with holes 24a for fixing the saddle on a support, as will be explained later.
  • the fork 12 has, in plan, the shape of a U axis II-II. Its crossbar 26, slightly raised and curved, acts as a cantle and its two teeth 28 extend forward substantially to the knob 20, below him, a few centimeters.
  • the tip of the cantle 26 is substantially at the same height as the knob 20, and that the fork 12 is inclined forwardly of an angle d about 10 ° to the ground.
  • the teeth 28 of the fork are provided, substantially in their middle, a lug 30 extending downward, each adjacent to one end 22a of the frame and provided with a coaxial hole. Bearings engaged in these holes and rods, engaged in the bearings, form the hinge 14 which thus allows the fork 12 to pivot relative to the frame 10 about an axis A-A.
  • the frame 10 and the fork 12 are made respectively of aluminum and steel.
  • the membrane 16 may be made of any elastic material, for example PVC, in the form of fabric, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, or of film, of a piece or in strips.
  • a first set of strips 16a connects the knob 20 to the cantle 26
  • a second assembly 16b interconnects the two teeth 28, this second set covering the first
  • a third assembly 16c connects the ends of the teeth 28 to the pommel 20.
  • the saddle according to the invention may advantageously be completed by a pancake 32, forming a cushion, completely covering the membrane 16 and fixed thereto permanently or removably.
  • This slab may consist of a fabric envelope containing an elastic padding or formed of a gel.
  • it is provided with a longitudinal groove 34 extending over the entire length of the cushion. In this way, the coccyx of the occupant of the saddle is not compressed, which improves its comfort and avoids certain damage, especially in the spine.
  • FIG. 5 shows that the previously described seat module makes it possible to equip a seat formed with a support 36 which comprises, in known manner, a telescopic central column 38 and radially arranged feet 40, each provided with a wheel 42
  • the column 38 carries, at its upper end, a seat module 44 according to the invention, which is fixed by its frame 10.
  • Such a seat thus forming a stool, can advantageously be used by people working essentially in the "active" position, for example a dentist or a watchmaker. It can be completed, as shown on this figure, by a backrest 46 fixed to the trousseau 26 and allowing to take a position "passive".
  • a transverse support bar 48 for the knees preferably padded and covered with a fabric or leather, so that the contact is pleasant .
  • This bar is fixed to the support 36, permanently or removably, by means of an arm 50.
  • the latter has a wheel 42 and is advantageously pivotally or slidingly connected to the support 36, so that it can be retracted. when the user must often leave his seat.
  • the arm 50 is fixed to the support 36 in the vicinity of the feet 40, very close to the ground. In this way, it does not interfere with the movement when the user sits in or leaves the seat.
  • the seat module 44 can be hingedly mounted on the column 38 by means of a conventional mechanism 52 of adjustable seat rocker which benefits an armrest 54.
  • the fork 12 will accompany his movement, allowing him to adjust his posture in a process of self-levitation that helps strengthen the muscles of lift and tends to reduce the risk of health problems, as mentioned above.
  • the fork 12 tilts backwards, so that it is in a posture for which all his musculature is at rest.
  • This automatic adjustment provides optimal comfort due to the fact that the weight of the user is distributed very evenly over the buttocks and the back of the thighs.
  • the seat according to the invention allows, in the "active" position, adjustments of the posture favoring the work of the muscles of auto-levitation, while in “passive” position, these muscles can relax .
  • Both the seat module and the seat described above can be the subject of many variants. It is, for example, possible to provide adjusting members and, more particularly, stops (not shown) limiting, on both sides, the tilting movement of the fork 12 on the frame 10.
  • the knob 20 can also be provided with means for modifying its position with reference to the frame 10. It is also possible to envisage an asymmetric structure, intended for a disabled user, either at the level of the wafer 32 or in the shape of the trumpet 26.
  • the articulated connection, by the hinge 14, between the frame 10 and the fork 12, can be provided by means of a ball joint.
  • the self-levitation mechanism will be carried out from front to back as well as from side.
  • the position of the hinge 14 can also advantageously be adjustable in the front-rear directions, so that it is perfectly aligned with the ischions when the user is seated.
  • the saddle 44 is advantageously fixed to the support 36 by its frame 10. It is also conceivable to secure the fixation by the cantle 26 itself.
  • the spring function provided by the elastic membrane 16 may also be reinforced by springs arranged specifically for this purpose, for example torsion, traction or compression.
