  • the present invention relates to a device for adjusting the effective spring force to return a tilting backrest and a tiltable seat of an office chair with a detent bearing with a plurality of detent recesses for a pivot axis of the spring, with first means for disengaging the pivot axis of the detent recesses and second, with a Hand drive operable means for adjusting the pivot axis between the positions of the locking recesses.
  • each user can set the effective spring force to compensate for the forces exerted on these parts by its weight in any tilt position of the backrest and seat.
  • Such a device is out EP 1 440 632 A1 known, with the spring fixedly hinged to a front seat link and the locking bearing in the central region of the office chair near its pedestal arranged and connected there with a backrest support of the backrest.
  • the hand drive is also located in the central area of the office chair near the pedestal.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device of the type mentioned, which prompt without any jerky engagement of the pivot axis at each of the inclination of the back and back without their users additional handles, a smooth adjustment of the effective spring force with the manual drive allows.
  • This object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1.
  • the inventive device is therefore characterized in that the first means are coupled to the manual drive in such a way that upon actuation of the manual drive initially only the first means to the successful Disengage the pivot axis of one of the locking recesses and then only the second means are driven to the successful adjustment and re-engagement of the pivot axis in an adjacent latching recess.
  • the pivot axis is locked permanently and independently of the position of the backrest in one of the locking recesses and is disengaged only to adjust between two locking recesses. The adjustment is always only gradually between two adjacent locking positions.
  • the second means may comprise a rotatably coupled to a drive axis of the manual drive pivot lever, which on the other hand via a slot connection with the pivot axis of the spring is engaged.
  • the first means may comprise a sliding bearing, which is advanced to disengage the pivot axis of the locking recesses of the locking bearing with respect to this and which has a displacement surface on which the pivot axis in the disengaged state along the latching bearing is displaceable.
  • a planetary gear can be provided, wherein the drive axis of the manual drive with the sun gear and the pivot lever with the planet carrier of this transmission is rotatably connected.
  • the aforementioned sliding bearing is coupled to the ring gear of the planetary gear.
  • the adjustment device according to the invention is further preferably mounted on a front seat link of the tiltable seat and moves with it.
  • the seat and 20 which are each pivotally mounted in a housing 10 arranged under the housing 30.
  • the housing 30 is carried by a pedestal 40 and is part of or includes parts of a synchronizing mechanism for positively coupling the seat to the seat back.
  • the seat 10 has a lower seat plate 11 and thereon a seat pad 12.
  • the backrest 20 comprises a two-armed backrest support 21 and also provided with a padding 23 backrest plate 22nd
  • Fig. 1 shows the seat 10 and the backrest 20 in their normal position with the lowest inclination
  • Fig. 2 shows the seat 10 and the backrest 20 in their position with maximum inclination.
  • Seat 10 and backrest 20 can only move together because of a forced coupling in the synchronizing mechanism, wherein the seat 10 is also displaced horizontally.
  • the housing 30 is divided into two along a central vertical plane and has two mirror-image housing shells 31.
  • the synchronous mechanism is partially constructed in mirror image to this vertical plane, so that some of their parts are present in pairs in mirror image.
  • the seat 10 is mounted in the housing 30 via a pair of front seat links 60 with a bearing 61 fixed to the housing and bearings 62 fixed in the seat.
  • the seat 10 is provided with a pair of rear seat links 50 fixed to the housing, behind the pedestal 40 arranged bearings 51 and seated bearings 52 mounted in the housing 30.
  • the backrest 20 and the arms of the backrest support 21 are mounted on the housing 30 in the housing fixed, arranged in front of the pedestal 40 bearings 24.
  • the positive coupling between the seat 10 and the backrest 20 is made via a pair of connecting rods 55 which are articulated on the arms of the backrest support 21 in bearings 25 and on the other hand in bearings 54 on a pair of second lever arms 53 of the rear seat uprights 50, as for example in Fig. 4 can be seen.
  • Seat 10 and backrest 20 are according to a spring 70 with a restoring force in their normal position Fig. 1 loaded, wherein the spring 70 is articulated with a first spring head 71 to the bearings 25 of the back support 21 and a second spring head 2 to a locking bearing 81.
  • the spring 70 is stabilized by a telescopic rod 73 carrying the two spring heads.
  • the locking bearing 81 is mounted on a front side between the front seat links 60 and connected thereto block 80 and is formed by a series of groove-like locking recesses. In each case one of these locking recesses engages a pivot axis of the spring 70 on the detent bearing 81 forming, held in the second spring head 72 detent pin 74 each and is held by a certain bias of the spring 70 therein.
  • the locking pin 74 is in the FIGS. 6 and 7 visible, noticeable. In the FIGS. 4 and 5 the locking pin 74 is covered by a pivoting lever 95 of a pair of such pivot lever 95. At the position of the second spring head 72, however, it can be seen that he in Fig. 4 in a detent recess at the bottom and in Fig. 5 engages in a latching recess at the upper end of the latching bearing 81.
  • the spring 70 When pivoting the backrest 20 and the seat 10, the spring 70 is compressed by on the one hand the bearing 25 forward and on the other hand, the front seat link 60 with the rest bearing 81 bearing block 80 are pivoted backwards, as shown by comparison FIGS. 1 and 2 can be seen.
  • Effective at the front seat arms 60 is the lever arm between the housing-fixed bearings 61 and the position of the pivot axis and the locking pin 74 on the locking bearing 81.
  • this lever arm is shorter than in the case of Fig. 5 , so that the spring 70 pivoting in the case of Fig. 4 less resistance than in the case of the Fig. 5 ., where the lever arm is larger.
  • the effective force of the spring 70 thus depends on the position of its articulation on the locking bearing 81 and the position of the locking pin 74 on this camp. By changing this position, the effective spring force can be adjusted.
  • the means for adjusting this position comprise at the front seat arms 60 a manual drive with a hand wheel 90 and a drive axle 91, a planetary gear with a sun gear 92, a ring gear 93 and three planetary gears 94, the aforementioned pair of pivot levers 95 and a pair of sliding bearings 96th each on both sides of the block 80.
  • the sliding bearing 96 have on their front side in each case a parallel to the locking bearing 81 aligned, substantially smooth displacement surface 97 and are parallel to the block 80 between two positions displaced. In the one, hereinafter referred to as 0-position position they close with their displacement surface 97 flush with the bottom of the locking recesses.
  • the drive shaft 91 of the manual drive engages in the block 80 and is there rotatably connected to the sun gear 92 of the planetary gear.
  • the ring gear 93 is rotatably mounted in the block 80, but has at its outer periphery two offset by 180 ° from each other arranged cam 98, with which it abuts each of the sliding bearings 96 when they are in their 0-position.
  • the corresponding rotational position of the ring gear 93 is also referred to below as 0-position.
  • the two pivot levers 95 each engage with three pins in the planet gears 94 and thereby form planet carrier of the planetary gear, which is not visible in the figures. Towards their free end, the pivot lever 95 are provided with a likewise not visible in the figures scenery in the manner of a slot into which the locking pin 74 engages each.
  • the locking pin 74 In the in Fig. 7a ) shown position, the locking pin 74 is in engagement with the lowermost locking recess of the latching bearing 81st In the in Fig. 7d ) shown position, the locking pin 74 is in engagement with the adjacent, second lowermost locking recess. In both detent positions are the two sliding bearings 96th and the ring gear 94 in its 0 position.
  • the hand wheel 90 For adjusting the locking pin 74 from his in Fig. 7a ) in the position shown in Fig. 7d ), the hand wheel 90 is rotated clockwise. With the rotation of the handwheel 90, the sun gear 92 as well as the planetary gears 94 of the planetary gear rotate.
  • the locking pin 74 is now free, which also the mentioned blocking of the two pivot lever / planetary carrier 95 is repealed, which can thereby rotate and the locking pin 74 on the sliding surfaces 97 in the in Fig. 7c ) position shown. There he then snaps immediately under the action of the spring according to the new locking recess Fig. 7d ) one.
  • the two sliding bearings 96 are thereby moved back to their 0-position and the ring gear 93 also rotated back in its 0-position while rotating clockwise. This completes the adjustment process.
  • the detent pin 74 can be adjusted step by step along the entire detent bearing 81 and, by reversing the direction of rotation on the handwheel 90, the adjustment direction can be changed.
