Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an office chair such that has means to adjust the position of the backrest and seat.
  • the purpose of the invention is to provide an extremely ergonomic, easy to use, chair with adjustable backrest inclination, seat height, and armrest position and height.
  • the purpose of the invention is also to incorporate a tension adjustable backrest to adapt the resistance offered by the backrest before returning to the maximum upright position.
  • the purpose of the invention is also to ensure the chair seat is structured to provide utmost comfort for users, regardless of their size and of their position when sitting in the chair.
  • this type of chairs can also incorporate a set of armrests, which have an invariable structure and cannot be adjusted in terms of height or angular position.
  • a chair of this type is already known in the object of US Patent 4.709.962 , which describes a work chair with a rolling frame, connected to a telescopic shaft with a gas cylinder, which can be adjusted using the corresponding lever, wherein the shaft is connected to a base body that is hinged to both the chair seat and the backrest, with all three elements interconnecting at different pivoting points, due to which the pivoting of the backrest creates a synchronous pivoting of the chair seat.
  • the office chair which is revealed in this invention, succeeds in solving the aforementioned problems in each and every one of the aspects listed.
  • the invention takes as its departure point the conventional office chair structure, with a rolling frame, connected to a telescopic column with a gas cylinder, which can be adjusted using the corresponding lever.
  • the specifications of the chair in the invention differ in that said telescopic column is not directly connected to the actual seat, but to a base piece, which the backrest is joined to on a hinge.
  • the seat is also hinged to the backrest, which is joined to the base seat on the opposite end by means of longitudinal slots on the base through which it passes using the corresponding flaps, with the set forming an articulated-deformable triangle.
  • two ribs emerge from the lower front area of the seat which shift longitudinally along the slots created operationally on the base piece. Between both flaps there is a rod which is equally movable longitudinally along the slots. The position of the rod will be determined by the condition of the hydraulic cylinder which is hinged on one end to the base piece and to the aforementioned rod on the other. In parallel both elements are also connected to a compression spring which will constantly tend to pull the aforementioned rod forwards and, consequently, the seat, which is hinged to the backrest, will also make it tend towards a maximum upright position determined by the maximum course of the base piece slots, with the maximum degree of inclination allowed for the backrest limited by the opposite end of the slots.
  • the backrest position cannot be regulated without releasing the hydraulic cylinder, for which the base piece, as well as the traditional release lever on the cylinder of the column that adjusts the height of the seat will also incorporate, preferably on the opposite side to the lever, a second cylinder release lever associated to the backrest inclination mechanism.
  • said compression spring is connected to a control lever that activates an endless screw which varies the length of the spring, i.e. to adjust the tension with which the backrest will spring back when releasing the corresponding gas cylinder.
  • the seat In a variation of the embodiment of the seat, it consists of a one-piece base body where in the arched edge that defines the front bend of the actual body of the seat there are several curved elastic flaps, inclined slightly upwards, defining the area that will receive the load of the weight of the user's legs on the edge of the seat.
  • Said flaps will deform elastically when the load of the legs on said area exceeds a preset value, depending on the position of the user on the seat, as well as their size; thus the flaps will deform downwards for which there will be band-like strips to prevent fatigue-related breakage in the flaps.
  • Said band-like strips are connected to the lower area of the aforementioned flaps, joined by one of the ends to boxes conveniently defined in the lower area of the main body of the seat, for which said flaps will include a series of little partitions or longitudinal ribs, formally and dimensionally suited to support the aforementioned band-like strips.
  • the seat's aforementioned one-piece body will be complemented, as usual, with the corresponding cushion and upholstering.
  • the resulting seat's structure allows users to release the pressure usually exercised on legs in the front area of the seat by absorbing said pressure by means of the elastic elements or flaps located on said end, providing a great level of comfort regardless of the sitting position and the size of the user.
  • the office chair that is revealed in the invention is constituted by a rolling frame (1), with five legs and their corresponding self-adjusting wheels (2).
  • the telescopic column (3) is fixed to the centre of the frame (1).
  • Said telescopic column (3) is fixed to a base body (4) by means of two upper and lower semi-bodies (5-6) with two longitudinal slots (7) on the front with corresponding longitudinally moveable flaps (8), which extend from the bottom side of the seat (9), which consists of three pieces (9'-9"-9"'), conveniently joined together, with the corresponding cushion and upholstering (10).
  • the set composed by the top piece (9'), the intermediate piece (9") and the cushion-upholstering (10) is moveable/lockable with regards to the bottom piece (9"'), for which the seat is equipped with a lock/unlock control lever (25), with a trajectory suiting the respective slots established lengthwise on the corresponding frame.
  • the seat is hinged to the "L"-shaped backrest (11), by means of a piece (11") which alongside a top piece (11') and the corresponding cushion-upholstering constitute the backrest.
  • the bottom piece (11") is equipped with articulation devices (12) for the seat in the lower area, and the front end is joined to the base body (4) by means of articulated joints (13).
  • the entire set forms a sort of deformable articulated triangle.
  • a rod (14) can also be moved longitudinally through the seat's flaps (8), and is also joined to a hydraulic cylinder (15) and a spring (16) located on the other end which are joined to the base body (4) by a closure (17), so that the hydraulic cylinder blocks the relative position of the seat and, consequently, of the backrest as regards the base body, whilst once the latter has been released, allowing the backrest to tilt simply when the user leans back on it, the spring (16) makes the backrest tend to return to the maximum upright position.
  • the hydraulic cylinder (15) will be aided by the corresponding lock lever (20), located opposite the action lever (21) on the telescopic column (3).
  • the chair is equipped with two armrests, consisting of telescopic pillars (22), bent at the bottom, and fitted into the armrest (23) itself at the top, that can adjust the height of the armrests as regards the seat with a switch (24), the armrests can swivel 360°.
  • the seat (9) in a variation of the embodiment shown in figures 6 to 10 , it consists of a one-piece body (90), made of plastic, with an essentially rectangular shape, the back edge of which is curved, whilst the front edge bends (91) downwards, with said body (90) then covered with a thick cushion (100) and the corresponding upholstering.
  • said front edge is interrupted by a large transversal opening (92) from the top of which a series of flaps (93) emerge with an inclined upwards disposition, which end in a downward bend, with the flaps (93) slightly apart from each other forming a sort of "comb.”
  • brackets (94) on the inside of the flaps (93) which are positioned in parallel and longitudinally to support the rectangular band-like strips (95), which on one end are fit into casings (96) operationally created along a transversal reinforcement rim (97) located along the lower side of the body (90) of the seat.
  • the flaps (93) will deform when receiving excessive pressure from the users' legs on the front edge of the seat, absorbing the pressure load and releasing pressure from the legs, producing an optimal level of comfort.
  • the body (90) of the seat can be complemented with other pieces joined to the bottom to create the definitive composition of the seat, as corresponds to the embodiment shown in figure 3 , where the seat is formed by the three bodies (9', 9" and 9"').
