Definitions

  • the invention refers to a lumbar support for a seat backrest with a lumbar pad and a toggle linkage to adjust the position of the lumbar pad.
  • US 4,182,533 discloses a seat backrest having an upholstered cushion portion supported by a rigid frame portion including means to produce a desired supporting contour in the lumbar region of the seat occupant.
  • the contour-producing means includes a lumbar pad resiliently biased pivoted arm members connecting the lumbar pad to the frame through a toggle linkage, and handle means operable from the side of the backrest for adjustably positioning the lumbar pad in a plurality of fixed positions forward of the frame.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the adjustment of the lumbar support.
  • the lumbar support for a seat backrest has a lumbar pad and a toggle linkage to adjust the position of the lumbar pad. Furthermore, it comprises a motor with a spindle and a nut, wherein the motor rotates the spindle to move the nut along the spindle and wherein the nut is coupled to the toggle linkage.
  • the motor driven lumbar support allows an adjustment of the lumbar pad while the user is sitting in his normal position.
  • the position of the lumbar pad is not limited to fixed positions.
  • the lumbar support comprises a frame for supporting the motor with the spindle and provides a pivot point for the toggle linkage.
  • the toggle linkage may include an arm member which is pivotably connected to the frame and bears the lumbar pad.
  • the toggle linkage may comprise a link coupled to the nut and the arm member.
  • the link is coupled to the arm member in a middle region between the connection of the arm member to the frame and the connection of the lumber pad to the arm member.
  • the lumbar support has a control unit to move the lumbar pad by actuating the motor.
  • the control unit has a time setting device to set a time period for periodically activating the motor to move the nut in order to change the position of the lumbar pad. This function has a very positive influence on the spinal column because the sitting position of the user changes periodically.
  • Fig. 1 disloses a seat furniture 1 with a seat backrest 2 having a lumbar support 3.
  • the lumbar support 3 has a frame 4 which is fixed to a backrest frame 5 of the seat backrest 2.
  • the lumbar support 3 further comprises an actuator with a motor 6, a spindle 7, and a nut 8 wherein the motor rotates the spindle to move the nut along the spindle.
  • the lumbar support has a toggle linkage 9 which comprises an arm member 9a which is pivotably connected to the frame 4 and a link 9b coupled to the nut 8 and the arm member 9a.
  • the arm member 9a is coupled to frame 4 at one end and bears a lumbar pad 10 at the other end.
  • the link 9b is coupled to the arm member 9a in a middle region between the connection of the arm member to the frame 4 and the connection of the lumbar pad 10 to the arm member.
  • a control unit 11 is provided, which may be integrated in the seat furniture 1 (see Fig. 1 ). However, it is also possible to use a remote control or a control unit which is connected to the motor via a cable.
  • control unit comprises a time setting device 11a to set a time period for periodically activating the motor to move the nut in order to change the position of the lumbar. Accordingly, it is possible to set a time period of, for instance, two minutes and as a consequence, the position of the lumbar pad will be changed every two minutes a little bit. This has the effect that the position of the user changes every two minutes which has a positive influence on the spinal column of the user.
