Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a seat of the type comprising a seat and a backrest, articulated relative to each other about an axis of rotation.
  • the present invention relates to a seat of the aforementioned type, wherein said hinge is formed in the form of a pair of means located on either side of the seat relative to the plane of symmetry passing through the backrest and the seat, each of said means being constituted, on the one hand, of a first element, forming a support in rotation of the file, traversed by said axis of rotation, and one end of which is secured to said file and, on the other hand, a second element.
  • the depth of the seat is adapted to its size. It is indeed just as uncomfortable for a tall person to have thighs that extend far beyond the front of the seat than for a small person waist not to have feet touching the ground when sitting at the bottom of the seat.
  • the invention proposes to provide a new solution to this problem by combining the backrest / seat joint to adjust the depth of the seat.
  • the support in rotation of the backrest is movable in translation relative to the seat.
  • the first expandable / retractable member is a gas spring, i.e. a hydro-pneumatic cylinder and piston structural element, which allows the backrest to be pivoted and counterbalanced. movement at a controlled speed, under the effect of the sole support exerted by the bust of the user on the folder.
  • the sliding support of the seat advantageously comprises a stop limiting the pivoting of the backrest relative to the seat.
  • the sliding support of the seat slides relative to a part secured to the seat and is immobilisable relative to this same room.
  • the support in rotation of the backrest and the sliding support of the seat being secured via the axis of rotation, it follows that the support in rotation of the backrest also slides relative to the part secured to the seat and that, As a result, the backrest can be more or less close to the free edge of the seat (in other words, the depth of the seat can be greater or lesser).
  • the backrest In the reclining seats, such as the seats of motor vehicles and aircraft, the backrest can be more or less inclined relative to the general plan of the seat which remains fixed. There are also known seats in which the inclination of the backrest causes the tilting of the seat upwards, and vice versa.
  • the seat according to the invention further comprises a seat support which rests directly or indirectly on the ground and this seat support provides an anchor point for one of the ends of a seat.
  • second expandable / retractable member, the other end is anchored to the seat.
  • This second expandable expandable member may be a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder.
  • the seat is a relaxation chair and, for this purpose, it further comprises a legrest.
  • legrest Since, again, it is important for the legrest to be able to be maneuvered independently of the inclination of the backrest and the inclination of the seat, said legrest provides an anchor point for one of the ends of the seat. a third expandable / retractable member, the other end is anchored to the seat.
  • This third retractable expandable member may be a pneumatic jack or an electric jack.
  • first, second and third expandable / retractable members operate independently of one another.
  • the seat 1 makes, with the backrest 2, an angle ⁇ which is variable ( ⁇ 1 ⁇ 2 ⁇ 3) and, with the legrest 3 an angle ⁇ which is also variable ( ⁇ 1 ⁇ 2 ⁇ 3), and the variation of ⁇ is independent of that of ⁇ .
  • the three planes (plan of the seat 1, plane of the backrest 2 and plan of the legrest 3) are movable independently of each other.
  • the inclination of the seat 1 with respect to the ground is obtained by means of a pneumatic cylinder 4 which bears, on the one hand, on said seat 1 and, on the other hand, on a support of sitting 5 resting on the ground;
  • the inclination of the backrest 2 relative to the seat 1 is obtained by means of a gas spring 6 which bears, on the one hand, on said seat 1 and, on the other hand, on a part 10 depending on the folder 2;
  • the inclination of the legrest 3 relative to the seat 1 is obtained by means of a pneumatic cylinder 7 which is supported, on the one hand, on said seat 1 and, on the other hand, on said seat legs.
  • the gas spring 6 is actuated, in one direction, by simply pressing the bust of the user against the backrest 2 and, in the other direction, by simply detaching the back from the backrest and, if appropriate , user support on the armrests (not shown). It will be understood that the backrest 2 returns automatically since, when it is inclined by support of the bust, the gas spring gas is compressed and, as soon as the support is released, the gas relaxes.
  • Pneumatic cylinders 4 and 7 are controlled, in a very conventional manner, by a push button.
  • the pneumatic cylinders 4 and 7 could be replaced by electric cylinders retaining the gas spring 6 for operating the backrest 2, or the gas spring 6 could also be replaced by an electric cylinder.
  • the seat 1 pivots around the point P.
  • the seat support 5 is provided with feet that can be adjustable in height.
  • the legrest 3 incorporated in the chair according to the invention may have the structure described in EP 1 099 396 , that is to say a deployable and retractable structure, and which is provided with casters in constant contact with the ground, casters thanks to which the deployment needs only to be initiated, the bulk of the movement of deployment is doing under the effect of mere gravity.
  • FIG. 3 it details the hinge area between the seat 1 and the backrest 2, on one of the side faces of the seat, a symmetrical assembly being located on the other side face.
  • the reference 8 designates an integral part of the file and the reference 9 designates a part integral with the seat.
  • the articulation comprises a first element 10, said “support in rotation of the backrest” and a second element 11, said “sliding support of the seat", the elements 10 and 11 being joined by an axis of rotation 12.
  • the element 10 roughly has a cocked hat shape, vertically, with the axis of rotation 12 passing through it approximately in the middle. At one of its ends, the element 10 is fixedly mounted on the piece 8 integral with the backrest and, at its opposite end, the element 10 provides an anchor point 13 for the rod 14 of the piston of the gas spring 6 whose cylinder 15 is anchored at 16 on the second element 11. A set screw 17 can move the anchor point 13 and thus increase or reduce the piston stroke of the gas spring 6.
  • a stop 18 limits the pivoting of the element 10 and thus of the backrest 2.
  • the element 11 comprises adjustment holes such as 19 coming opposite slits, as arranged in the part 9, so that the relative position of the element 11 and the part 9 can be changed in translation by sliding and fixed in the selected position by screwing bolts, such as 21, passing through both a hole 19 and a slot 20.
  • This assembly thus makes it possible both to adjust the control of the inclination of the backrest according to the weight of the user (playing on the level of the anchoring point 13) and that of the depth of the seat (playing on the relative position of the element 11 and the part 9).
  • the result of the adjustment of the depth of the seat is schematically illustrated by the Figures 1d-1f .
  • the figure 1d is identical to the figure 1a and shows a maximum seat depth P1, the base of the backrest 2 coinciding with the rear edge of the seat 1.
  • the figure 1e shows a shallower seat depth P2 ⁇ P1 by relative displacement between the backrest 2 and the seat 1, with preservation of the angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 1, and the figure 1f shows an even lower seat depth P3 ⁇ P2 ⁇ P1 by relative movement between the backrest 2 and the seat 1, and always with conservation angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 1.
  • the three illustrated positions are only three examples, any intermediate position being possible and that the modification of the seat depth is possible regardless of ⁇ and ⁇ .
