Definitions

  • the invention relates to a chair, in particular an office chair, with a hinged to a support via a backrest support backrest with an adjustable lumbar support and a seat, which is attached to the carrier.
  • a chair is out for example US 2002/0130541 A1 known.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a chair that offers a particularly comfortable automatic adjustment.
  • the chair provides a coupling of the inclination position of the backrest and the adjustment of the lumbar support via a coupling element such that a backward tilting movement of the backrest causes a change in the adjustment of the lumbar support, in particular a relaxation of the lumbar support and a forward tilting movement of the backrest also a Change in the adjustment of the lumbar support, in particular causes a tension of the lumbar support.
  • the backrest support backrest also has an integrated adjusting element for adjusting the height of the backrest relative to the backrest support.
  • a lumbar support is present, which tensions or relaxes depending on the inclination position of the backrest and thus enables an optimized shaping of the backrest.
  • the lumbar support integrated in the backrest is automatically adjusted so that, in particular when the user leans back, the lumbar support is relaxed and thus an ergonomically advantageous support in the user's lumbar region.
  • the lumbar support When leaning forward of the user, the lumbar support is tense, so that automatically takes place for this case, an ergonomically desired adjustment of the lumbar support.
  • the coupling element is designed as a cable (Bowden cable).
  • the coupling element In a change in the inclination position of the backrest relative to the seat, the coupling element is tense or relaxed.
  • the cable which is attached with its one end to the lumbar support, and with its other end to or in the area of the seat of the chair, relaxed at a tilt of the back to the rear, so that by easing the tension on the cable, the lumbar support of the strained (ie more or less curved) position in a relaxed (ie slightly curved or completely flat) position is transferred.
  • the coupling element is integrated in the backrest support of the backrest, so that a transmitted from the region of the seat surface actuation of the coupling element is transferred by the running in the backrest support member of the backrest Lumbar support integrated in the backrest.
  • Fig. 1 shows the chair structure of a chair 1 (without per se known additional parts such as armrests, pivot column, pedestal, etc.) with a support 33 and a hinged to a backrest 2 backrest 3 with a built-in backrest 3 lumbar support 4 and one in the area 5 on the support 33 attachable seat 12 (see. Fig. 5 ).
  • the lumbar support 4 consists of individual support areas 6, 7, 8 and 9, which are actuated by a coupling element 10, in particular a cable 11, to the effect that when tensioning the lumbar support 4, the individual support areas 6, 7, 8 and 9 arched to each other and at Relaxation, the individual support areas are arranged substantially flat and relaxed to each other.
  • the lumbar support 4 is attached to the backrest 3 at a lower edge region, for example at the support region 9, wherein the uppermost support region 6 is applied by the voltage applied by the coupling element 10 with respect to the lower support regions 7, 8 and 9, so that the distances 14 between the support areas 6, 7, 8 and 9 are reduced in tension of the lumbar support 4.
  • the cable 11 is integrated into the backrest support 2 and held in a recess 15. Through the recess 15 (see. Fig. 5 ), the cable 11 is guided in the area below the seat 12, which in Fig. 5 schematically indicated by a line.
  • the cable 11 has a first (not visible) end portion which is connected to the support portion 6 and a further end portion 13 which is indirectly or directly connected to the seat surface 12.
  • the chair according to Fig. 1 alternatively or additionally, a lateral adjustment element 20, which is designed to be self-locking, and wherein a separate (external) adjustment of the lumbar support 4 can be made by a separate cable pull 21.
  • the adjusting element 21 has a lever 22 which is displaceable in the direction 23 and depending on the setting position the cable 21 is operated such that the lumbar support 4 is more or less tense (curved or not curved) is formed.
  • the chair 1 has an adjusting element 24 integrated in the backrest support 2, which allows a height adjustment of the backrest 3 relative to the backrest support 2.
  • the adjusting element 24 has in particular a horizontal bar 25, which enables locking of the height position of the backrest 3 on the backrest support 2 by latching.
  • lever 26 and / or 27 can be done by moving the lever 26 and 27 in the direction 28, a displacement of the horizontal bar 25 by displacement of the recess 29 in the direction 30 for the respective user (left or right-handed), whereby the spring 31 is tensioned ,
  • the chair 1 of the invention thus has a backrest support 2, in which in a particular embodiment, both an integrated recess 15 for receiving a coupling element 10, in particular a cable 11, is provided and also an integrated recording of an adjustment 24 for height adjustment of the backrest 3 relative to the backrest support 2 is enabled.
  • the cable 11 is initially parallel to the longitudinal extent of the backrest support 2 (see. Fig. 1 ) led upwards and then guided in an arc 32 back down to the support areas 9 - 6 with for different height settings of the backrest 3 on the backrest support 2 sufficient length.
  • a coupling element 10 (in particular cable 11) connected to the seat surface 12 is thus offered, which is realized simultaneously with a height adjustment of the backrest 3 integrated in the backrest 13 (by the adjusting element 24).
  • a coupling element 10 (in particular cable 11) connected to the seat surface 12 is thus offered, which is realized simultaneously with a height adjustment of the backrest 3 integrated in the backrest 13 (by the adjusting element 24).
  • the lumbar support 4 is realized with a height adjustment of the backrest 3.
