Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a chair.
  • the present invention relates to an orthopaedic - ergonomic chair, suitable for being used for working activities, e.g. activities requiring use of a personal computer, even for long time periods.
  • a stool of such kind is disclosed for instance in US 4,848,841 .
  • a chair comprising a seat that is tiltable about a horizontal rotation axis arranged at the front side of the seat, and a telescopic column acting on the rear portion of said seat to cause rotation and forward tilting of the seat.
  • a mechanism for adjusting the seat tilt is provided between the seat and a supporting base, which mechanism enables defining, by means of a first member, a substantially horizontal rotation axis, about which the seat can be tilted by acting on a second member with variable length.
  • the arrangement of said first and second members of the adjusting mechanism can provide for a forward or rearward location of the rotation axis relative to the seat.
  • the seat may be tilted by acting on the adjusting mechanism, and more particularly by varying the length of the variable-length member and by keeping the horizontal rotation axis stationary.
  • the chair back is associated with the seat and which ensures a constant angle between said seat and said chair back, in any position the chair can take, the user's back is always supported in the most correct and less fatiguing posture.
  • the projection of the portion of the chair back on which the user's back rests lies within the seat portion occupied by the user, whatever the tilt of the seat relative to the base may be.
  • the chair according to the invention has a pair of padded supports for the user's knees, which supports can be moved from a hidden or inactive position (chair in ergonomic position) to an exposed position or position of use (chair in orthopaedic position) by means of a simple rotary and/or translational movement.
  • a further, but not the last, advantage of the invention is the possibility of having supporting bases equipped with feet or castors, without need of modifying the chair structure for that reason.
  • chair 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention comprises a frame 3, a seat 5, a chair back 7 and a pair of padded supports 9 for the user's knees.
  • Frame 3 includes a supporting base 3a and a pair of uprights 3b.
  • uprights 3b are joined at their top by a connecting member 3c, and supporting base 3a, uprights 3b and connecting member 3c advantageously consist of a single, suitably bent, hollow cylindrical metal tube.
  • connecting member 3c advantageously consist of a single, suitably bent, hollow cylindrical metal tube.
  • seat 5 of chair 1 is pivotally mounted at its rear side between uprights 3b, as shown by arrow F in Figs. 1 and 2 . More particularly, said seat 5 is pivotally mounted onto a transverse bar 3d joining uprights 3b and defining a corresponding horizontal rotation axis for seat 5.
  • an ⁇ -shaped plate 11 is fastened to bottom wall 5a of seat 5, at the rear portion thereof, and said plate 11 forms, together with bottom wall 5a of said seat 5, a slot in which transverse bar 3d passes and is freely displaceable.
  • seat 5 not only can rotate relative to uprights 3b, but it also has a certain freedom of translational movement relative to said uprights 3b.
  • a tilt adjusting mechanism is interposed between seat 5 and base 3a, and such mechanism comprises a first member consisting of frame 3 and the corresponding transverse bar 3d, and a second member consisting of a gas-operated telescopic column 13, 15 with variable length.
  • gas-operated telescopic column 13, 15 With variable length acts on said seat 5 at the front portion thereof. More particularly, the top end of column 13, 15 is connected, through an articulated joint 17, to a plate 19 secured to bottom wall 5a of seat 5, at the front portion thereof.
  • Gas-operated telescopic column 13, 15 is mounted within a support 21 carried by a pedestal 23 connected to supporting base 3a of frame 3 by a pair of transverse bars 25.
  • Gas-operated telescopic column 13, 15 can be operated by the user by means of a lever 27, in order to vertically displace extendable portion 13 of column 13, 15 and, consequently, to make seat 5 tilt, thereby making it pass from the configuration shown in Fig. 1 (ergonomic position) to the configuration shown in Fig. 2 (orthopaedic position).
  • the end portion of telescopic column 13, 15 is provided with a stop member 29, e.g. a vertical pin, which, in correspondence of a predetermined maximum tilt angle ⁇ MAX , abuts against plate 19 and prevents a further forward tilting of seat 5.
  • a stop member 29 e.g. a vertical pin
  • back 7 of chair 1 is associated with seat 5, so that the angle between said back 7 and said seat 5 remains constant whatever configuration is taken by the chair and, in particular, for any tilt angle, in the range 0° to ⁇ MAX , of seat 5 relative to the supporting plane.
  • chair back 7 is carried by an arm 31 which is removably associated, e.g. by means of screws, with plate 11, which in turn is secured to bottom wall 5a of seat 5.
  • arm 31 which is removably associated, e.g. by means of screws, with plate 11, which in turn is secured to bottom wall 5a of seat 5.
  • plate 11 which in turn is secured to bottom wall 5a of seat 5.
  • any system for rigidly connecting chair back 7 to seat 5 can be used as well.
  • connection between arm 31 and plate 11 may be adjustable in longitudinal direction, so that chair back 7 can take different positions relative to seat 5.
  • chair back 7 includes a padded cushion, which is secured to arm 31 by means of a connecting plate 33 and which provides support and comfort to the user's back in correspondence of the lumbar region.
  • connecting plate 33 may slide along arm 31 and may be locked at different positions relative to said arm.
  • chair back 7 can thus be positioned in a plurality of different positions, so as to adapt itself to the different physical structure of the different users.
  • padded supports 9 of chair 1 can be easily moved from an inactive position, when chair 1 is in ergonomic position, to a position of use, when chair 1 is in orthopaedic position.
  • the passage from one position to the other takes place through a simple rotary movement.
  • said padded supports 9 are mounted on a pair of handlebars 35, in turn secured onto a U-bent tube 37 rotatably connected to vertical support 32 of gas-operated telescopic column 13, 15 through a rotary joint 39.
  • U-bent tube 37 together with padded knee supports 9, can rotate about the axis of support 21, as indicated by arrow R. In particular, they can move from a first position, in which they are hidden under seat 5 when chair 1 is in ergonomic position ( Fig. 1 ), to an exposed position in front of and below seat 5, when chair 1 is in orthopaedic position ( Fig. 2 ).
  • stop means can be provided to lock said padded supports 9 in either position.
  • an anti-overturning plate 41 is provided, which is secured to pedestal 23 and which projects forward beyond frame 3. Possibly, said anti-overturning plate 41 may be slidable, so that it can be kept in a retracted position when chair 1 is in ergonomic position.
  • FIG. 4 and 5 there is shown a second embodiment of the chair according to the invention, generally denoted 101.
  • chair 101 includes a supporting base 103a, on which a seat 105 having a chair back 107 is cantilevered.
  • said seat 105 is associated with supporting base 103a through an adjusting mechanism 113, 115 comprising a first, central gas-operated telescopic column 113 and a second, obliquely arranged side gas-operated telescopic column 115.
  • Said central column 113 is secured, on the one side, to base 103a through a pedestal 123 and, on the other side, through a hinge 117, to a plate 119 secured to bottom wall 105a of seat 105 in the front portion thereof.
  • Said hinge 117 defines a corresponding horizontal rotation axis for seat 105.
  • Side column 115 has a first, bottom end pivotally connected to the upper, extendable member of column 113 through a connecting member 151, and a second, top end pivotally connected to said plate 119 through a connecting member 153 positioned rearwards of hinge 117 towards chair back 107.
  • seat 105 relative to adjusting mechanism 113, 115, it is possible both to raise seat 105 relative to supporting base 103a, by acting only onto the first, central gas-operated column 113 through a control lever associated therewith, and to change the seat tilt by acting onto the second gas-operated column 115 through a corresponding second control lever.
  • Padded supports 109 are moreover provided, which are mounted onto a tubular frame 135, rotatably associated with pedestal 103 through a corresponding rotary joint 139, to allow the padded supports to easily move from an inactive position, when chair 101 is n ergonomic position ( Fig. 4 ), to a position of use, when chair 101 is in orthopaedic position ( Fig. 5 ).
  • chair back 107 is associated with seat 105 through a shaped supporting bracket 103, secured to bottom wall 105a of seat 105, in the rear portion thereof, through a threaded pin having a knob 155.
  • said bracket 103 can slide relative to seat 105 and can be locked in position at the desired distance by means of knob 155, so as to adjust the distance of the portion of chair back 107 onto which the user's back rests.
  • projection "S" on seat 105 of the portion of chair back 107 onto which the user's back rests (which portion substantially corresponds to the central portion of chair back 107) always lies within area "Z" occupied by the user, whatever position is taken by chair 101.
  • FIG. 6 there is shown an embodiment of the chair according to the invention in which base 157 is equipped with castors 159 (for instance five castors) associated with corresponding arms 161.
