Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an ergonomic resting structure suitable for providing a particular comfort to a person resting on it in a reclining, stretched out position.
  • the human body's natura ⁇ l physiology is such that a prolonged contact of body parts with a supporting surface, , no matter how comfortable and upholstered, induces a .squashing of the skin and muscle masses with ensuing circulation problems, torpidity and similar problems that force the person, after a certain period of time, to change his posture and limit the comfort -of the seating.
  • the armchairs, reclining chairs and chaise longue of the already known type often fail to provide an ergonomic seating.
  • the already known solutions are in fact mainly- aimed at simple production, pleasant aesthetic appearance, practicality of use or the presence of supplementary functions such as the possibility of varying the angle of the backrest or of folding the chair in the case of reclining chairs, rather than at securing a proper body posture of the person resting on the same.
  • the armchairs of an already known type are also not easily transportable, their use is therefore limited.
  • the known armchairs normally present very complex structures. In the case of chaises longues, these are often single block structures, while in the case of ergonomic armchairs, these are generally characterized by voluminous padding and inclinable footrests and/or backrests that are obviously burdening the armchair's structure.
  • Such complex structures are clearly not transportable.
  • the main purpose of this invention is therefore to provide a structure of a chaise longue type, or such as to allow a person to stretch out in a backward position, be ergonomic and offer the user an enhanced comfort.
  • the scope of this invention is in particular to supply a structure capable of offering a person resting on it a thoroughly ergonomic accommodation and a correct posture.
  • a further scope of the present invention is to provide an ergonomic structure of a chaise longue type, wherein the human body's points of contact with the surfaces of the structure are to be limited to the sole supporting areas essential for achieving a correct body posture in a backward leaning position, and a high degree of comfort for the user.
  • An additional purpose of the present invention is to provide an ergonomic structure wherein said areas of contact between the human body and the structure' s supporting surfaces are appropriately designed to ⁇ prevent circulatory problems and consequent torpidities in the person' s muscular mass .
  • Another scope of the present invention is to supply an ergonomic structure adaptable to the stature of various users, so as to always be capable of offering an optimum posture even to subjects of varying build.
  • Yet another purpose of the present invention is to provide an ergonomic structure capable of being easily disassembled so as to be easily transported, for instance after being placed in a container suitable for this purpose, for instance a case.
  • an ergonomic structure of a chaise longue type including ⁇ a supporting frame and characterized by the fact of comprising a minimum number of resting elements for the user' s body, needed for realizing a correct and comfortable posture of the body in a backward reclining position.
  • These supporting elements comprise at least one footrest, a support for the popliteal fossae, a support for the buttocks, a
  • Figurel shows a / prospective view of the ergonomic structure according to the invention
  • Figure 2 shows a side view of the ergonomic structure according to the invention.
  • the same refers to an ergonomic structure of a chaise longue type, that expects to comfortably sustain the user's body in a stretched out position and correct posture, only through supporting a few essential points for the correct supporting of a person.
  • the torpidities due to said circulatory problems associated with a squashing of the muscular masses are resolvable, or at least largely reducible by the reduction of the width and the number of the body areas to be supported by the structure.
  • the ergonomic structure of a chaise longue type seat comprises a frame, as designated in the figures by the reference number 1, which may have any configuration.
  • this frame comprises a main element of an essentially longitudinal extension Ia, fitted with stabilizing elements designated by the numbers Ib and Ic that are appropriately positioned next to the extremities of said main element Ia, so as to act as the footrests of the frame .
  • the base frame 1 has inserted supports for the sustaining elements that support the body parts of the person.
  • the ergonomic structure according to the present invention will include at least one first sustaining element 2 that supports the footrests 7 and 8, a second sustaining element 3 for the supports of the popliteal fossae 9, and a third sustaining element 4 that holds the supports for the buttocks 10 and the supports for the hands 11.
  • the third sustaining element 4 is connected with a lumbar backrest 12 and a supporting arm 6 for the headrest 13, but to a specialist in the branch, it is clear that different embodying solutions may provide for a connection of the lumbar support 12 and of the headrest 13 being made to an additional independent element.
  • the headrest 13 may be composed of two separate resting areas 13a and 13b, but alternative solutions may envision the use of a single surface for supporting the cervical and nape areas of the head.
  • arrows shown in Figure 2 illustrate how the supporting elements 2, 3 and 4 can be shifted along the main element Ia of the frame 1. In this manner, the relative distance between the body' s resting points supported by the elements 2, 3 and 4 may be varied to allow optimizing the seating comfort of persons of different stature.
  • the ergonomic structure according to this invention and according to the preferred embodiment shown in the enclosed figures may appropriately envision that the body' s resting surfaces be upholstered or at any rate realized with materials suitable for enhancing the user' s comfort .
  • the supporting elements 2, 3 and 4 may be connected to the frame 1, and in particular to the main element, by quick connecting means of an already known type, not shown in the figures.
  • quick connecting means may for instance be constituted of screws, bolts, split pin systems or the like.
  • the ergonomic structure according to the present invention allows achieving all the advantages aimed for, and overcoming the drawbacks left unresolved by the solutions already known at the state of the art.
  • the ergonomic structure of the chaise longue type according to the present invention allows sustaining the user' s body by providing a rest only for the body's essential points, thus eliminating or at any rate substantially reducing the circulatory problems associated with the body's prolonged resting on a surface and induced by a compression of the dermal and muscular tissues, with the ensuing squashing of the blood vessels, circulatory hindrance and torpidity feelings .
  • the ergonomic structure according to this invention also achieves the scope of realizing an ergonomic structure capable of optimizing a correct posture and therefore the comfort of the user, by adapting to individuals of different stature .
