Definitions
- the invention relates to a biomechanical seat construction according to the preamble of claim 1.
- EP 0 957 721 Bl describes a chair comprising a seat and a back rest, the seat comprising a front seat part and a rear seat part separated by a boundary. As seen in a horizontal plain the boundary between the front and rear seat parts is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the seat portion of the chair.
- the chair is provided with means for enabling vertical displacement of the rear seat part obliquely downwards and backwards while maintaining the same horizontal direction of both seat parts.
- the rear edge of the front seat part generally is positioned about a vertical plan through the hip joints of the user, whereby the bottom/hip part is substantially relived from pressure, and will in fact be hanging behind the rear, preferably concave, edge of the front seat part.
- US 7 322 651 Bl describes a chair comprising at least one seat and a back rest, the seat comprising a front seat part and a rear seat part which are separated by boundary.
- the back seat part is arranged at the same level as the front seat part and may be tilted downwardly relatively on the front seat part while maintaining the front edge of the rear seat part at essentially the same level as the back edge of the front seat part.
- the rear seat part is placed in a parallel motion in vertical direction rela- tively to the front seat part while maintaining the same horizontal direction of both seat parts.
- the chair constructions described in the above-identified documents permits that the back rest of the chair steady the lumber region of the use, and the friction between the back rest and the back of the user contributes to support the upper body the user.
- the weight of the user will exert a small torque around the back edge.
- the user may therefore in an easy way by his own muscular strength keep the bottom/hip portion at a reduced load against the rear seat part, the weight of the user being distributed in a favourable way also to the underside of the thighs against the seat surface of the front seat part.
- This results in that the loin part of the user is relieved and that the user in a simple way can give the loin part a curving in the median plane which minimizes back pains and minimizes the risk of appearance of back pains, respectively, of a user sitting down.
- One object of the biomechanical seat construction according to the invention is to give essentially healthy people the possibility to obtain a seating position which relives the back and pelvis of the user and gives the possibility to, where appropriate, reduce back pains which otherwise will arise when sitting down, or prevent that back pains occur when sitting down .
- a further object of the present biomechanical seat construction is to further improve the seat comfort of the user while maintaining the natural S-curve of the back.
- Yet a further object is to achieve a relief function of the back and/or the pelvis already in the original position of the chair .
- a biomechanical seat construction comprising a seat and a back rest with adjustable support of the pelvis, the seat comprising a front seat part and a rear seat part separated from each other by a boundary, which as seen in an horizontal plane is generally curved in the cross direction of the seat of the chair, means for displacement of the front seat part and the rear seat part vertically relatively to each other, each of the seat parts has a seat surface having a front edge and a rear edge and side edges, wherein in a first position the seat surface of the front seat part is generally positioned at a level which is essentially higher that the seat surface of the rear seat part when both seat surfaces are generally horizontal, means being provided for displacement of the front seat part and the back seat part vertically relatively to each other to at least a second position, said means comprise at least one arm for supporting the rear seat part, said at least one arm being pivotally attached to a frame for supporting at least the front seat part and the rear seat part, wherein in said second position the seat surface of the rear seat part has an angle
- FIG. 1 is a schematically side view of a biomechanical seat construction according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 is the same view as in Fig 1 with the rear seat part shown in different positions and with a front end of a front seat part connected to a frame .
- the longitudinal direction of front and rear seat part is defined as the direction seen the longitudinal direction of the seat of the biomechanical seat construction
- the cross direction of front and rear seat part is defined as the direction seen the cross direction of the seat of the biomechanical seat construction.
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic side view of a biomechanical seat construction 1.
- biomechanical seat construction is meant, but not limited to, chairs, armed chairs, and apparatus for stretching the back etc.
- the biomechanical seat construction 1 shown in Fig. 1 is shown without any underbody, since this can be constructed in different ways and does not form a part of the invention.
- the biomechanical seat construction 1 comprises a seat 2, a back rest 3 with arm rests 3a and adjustable pelvis support 4.
- the seat 2 comprises a front seat part 5 and the rear seat part 6, which are separated from each other by a boundary 7, which when viewed in a horizontal plane is generally curved in cross direction of seat the chair.
- the respective seat parts 5, 6 has each a seat surface 5a, 6a with a front and rear edge 5b, 5c, 6b, 6c and side edges 5d, 6d, of which only one, the right, is shown on the drawings .
- Fig. 1 shows a first position, normal position, of the seat surface 5a of the front seat part 5 generally positioned in a plane which is substantially higher than the plane of the seat surface 6a of the rear seat part 6 when both seat surfaces 5a, 6a are generally horizontal.
- Fig. 2 shows a second position of the rear seat part 6.
- the rear seat part 6 can be raised as shown by solid lines or can be lowered as shown by broken lines i.e. in the second position the seat surface 6a of the rear seat portion 6 has an angle relatively to the horizontal plane.
- the seat support is shown schematically attached to a frame 9 by a bent bracket 10, for instance, it should be understood that the rear seat part 6 can be lowered without interfering with the bent bracket or that the bent bracket prevent the pelvis of a person sitting on the biome- chanical seat construction from being supported by the seat surface 6a in the different positions that the seat surface can obtain.
- the front and rear seat portions 5, 6 are either being made of a suitable material which in it self can take the load of a person sitting down or maybe provided with a load bearing construction .
- the means for displacement of the rear seat part 6, vertically relatively to the front seat part 5 is formed by at least one arm 8, for instance, supporting the rear seat 6 and pivotably attached to the frame 9, which carries said at least the two seat ports 5, 6.
- the back rest 3 is supported by the bent bracket 10.
- the pivotable attachment of said at least one arm 8 is preferably done by an axle 11.
- This axle 11, besides being pivotably attached to the frame 9, is also displaceably arranged in the horizontal plane in the longitudinal directions of the seat of the chair by suitable means, not shown, for instance in the form of an elongated opening arranged in the frame 9 having seats for achieving distinct adjustment positions in generally the horizontal plane of the axle, or the axle may be continuously adjustable in said horizontal plane.
- the pivotal position of the axle 11 and thereby the position of the seat surface 6a of the rear part of the seat part 6 may preferably be continuously adjustable within wide limits.
- the rear seat portion 6 describes a curved movement at its adjustment between the first and the second positions.
- the axle 11 is positioned in front of the boundary 7 of the rear edge 5c of the seat surface 5a of the front seat part 5 and at distance from a lower surface 12 of the front seat part 5 for enabling movement of the seat surface 6a of the rear seat part 6 vertically above and below, respectively, a generally horizontal plane aligned with the seat surface 5a of the front seat part 5.
- the pivotable attachment of said at least one arm 8 to the frame 9 is located at a distance L from the rear edge 5c of the seat surface 5a of the front seat part 5 and amounts to between 0.1 L and 0.9 L, preferably 0.3 L and 0.6 L in which L is defined as the length of the front seat part 5 in the longitudinal direction of the seat of the chair.
- the rear seat part 6 is in it self or in combination with the front seat part 5 displace- ablely arranged forwardly in the longitudinal direction of the seat of the chair from a back seated location of a rear edge
- the back rest 3 with associated sway-back support 4 is thereby designed to allow that the arched movement of the rear seat part 6 could be made without any interference.
- the width of the boundary 7, i.e. the distance between the rear edge 5c of the front seat part 5 and the front edge 6a of the rear seat part 6, should be sufficiently large to allow for a piv- oting motion upwardly of the rear seat part relatively to the front seat part.
- the seat surface 5a of the front seat part 5 is preferably provided at either its front or rear edge or both 5b, 5c with a bevelling having an angle relatively to the horizontal plane. Furthermore, the edge 5c of the seat surface 5a should be flexible resilient, and preferably also the corresponding load carrying portion of the front seat part 5 should be flexible resilient and possibly bevelled. This for achieving a soft transition at said edge to prevent locally high stresses against the underside of the user' s thighs .
- the front seat part 5 may, as shown in Fig. 1, be attached to the frame 9 by at least one elastically yieldable means 13, for instance made of rubber. This results in that the front seat part is not locked in any degree of freedom.
- the front seat part 5 may be con- nected to the frame 9 by on one hand the elastically yieldable means 13 and on the other hand by one or several means 14a, 14b, 14c for pivotable fixation of the front seat part 5 in the longitudinal direction of the seat of the chair, for instance in the form of pivoting axles 14a, 14b and 14c.
- the rear portion of the front seat part 5 will be elastically resilient in a vertical direction, and in the same way the front portion of the front seat part 5 will be elastically resilient in a vertical direction, when the front seat part is connected to the frame by on one hand the elastically yieldable means 13 and on the other hand the pivoting axle 14a.
- the rear seat part 6 can be connected to the arm 8 by elastically yieldable means (not shown) .
- the seat surface 5a of the front seat part 5 or seat surface 6a of the back seat part 6, or both 5a, 6a be divided into at least two portions, and said portions may be adjustable independently of each other.
- the seat surface of the rear seat part 6 may be flat, resilient or convexly shaped, i.e. may be bowl-shaped.
- the seat surface 5a of the front seat part 5 may in the longitudinal direction of the seat of the chair be essentially convexly shaped and in the cross direction of the seat of the chair essentially concavely shaped.
- the front seat part 5 may at its front edge 5b be elastically attached to the frame, as shown in Fig.
- the seat surface 5a of the front seat part 5 may at its front edge 5b be elastic. Even though the front seat part 5 is shown having a general horizontal seat surface 5a it is obvious for a man skilled in the art that this seat surface may be angled in suitable way. Furthermore, in a known manner the seat is adjustable to the weight of a person so as to offer good comfort, and the back rest is displaceably arranged in the longitudinal direction of the seat of the chair.
- a belt may be attached at a suitable height of the back rest 3.
- the belt is adapted to be tightened around the chest of the user for fixation of the back of the user against the back rest and to further increase the relief of the back, the loin and the pelvis.
- By raising the rear seat portion, when the user is fastened to the back rest by the belt is also possible to instead compress the back, the loin and the pelvis.
