Definitions

  • This invention concerns seating furniture intended to make it easier for a person that is handicapped, injured, old or for other reasons have a reduced leg strength to sit down and get up again.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a light and simple furniture that facilitates for a person with a handicap, injury, old age or reduced leg strength to sit down and get up again, without requiring help from anyone else.
  • seating furniture comprising two parts, a seat part provided with a back rest and a support frame normally provided with legs.
  • the seat part and the support frame are hingedly connected.
  • the rear end of seat part and support frame at least one spring is arranged for pushing the rear end of the seat part upwards.
  • the spring is a gas spring.
  • the person intending to sit down in the chair comes in contact with the inclined seat with bottom and thighs and with the back against the backrest early in the above described standard movement for sitting down.
  • the spring will with increasing force assist the legs in holding up the weight of said person during the continued lowering.
  • the required leg force must not increase as when sitting down in a normal chair, but is reduced to a small controlling from the legs until the final intended seating position is reached.
  • the person wishing to seat himself or herself in the chair can sit down in the normal fashion comfortably and with a justified feeling of safety and control.
  • the gas spring is of the type provided with a locking device that can lock the spring in any position.
  • a locking device that can lock the spring in any position.
  • This lock may of course also be used if the user can and want to ease forward on the seat so that it does not start to lift due to the reduced lever of the weight of the seated person.
  • the seat can be brought down to this bottom position by anyone heavy enough either by sitting down in the chair or by hanging on the backrest which may provide an increased torque compressing the spring.
  • the control of the lock may in a known version comprise a control lever or knob that via wire actuates the lock mechanism. This means that the control lever can be placed where it is most convenient for the user.
  • the spring is chosen and or adjusted to provide a lifting force that is less than the weight of the person that is to use the chair. In addition to this consideration should also be given to the strength of the users legs.
  • the required initial leg strength should not be to far from the maximum strength of the user in order to maintain a training of the user's legs. This result in an improved self esteem when you find that you can manage by yourself.
  • the lifting effect of the spring it may be fastened in one or both ends at slightly different distances from the front end of the chair in order to change the delivered torque exerted on the seat.
  • the lower end of the spring is pivotable in a bracket in the support frame in the rear end of the chair and the upper end of the spring is fastened inside the backrest in order to accommodate a long spring with an extended length that exceeds the double lifting height of the rear end of the seat. If one spring is used it is preferably placed centrally and if several springs are used a symmetric location is to be preferred.
  • the seat hinge is preferably a piano hinge (continuous hinge) giving a light and strong front end of the chair.
  • Fig 1 depicts an easy chair and Fig. 2 a chair.
  • the seating furniture in Fig.l is an easy chair 1 seen from the side.
  • the easy chair comprise a support frame 2 with legs 3 and a seat part 4 with seat 6 and back rest 5.
  • a hinge 20 connects seat part and support frame so that the seat part can pivot relative the support frame.
  • a gas spring 7 extends essentially vertically from a bracket in the support frame and up at least slightly more than the compressed height of the gas spring (approximately half the height of the backseat) to a bracket inside the backrest 5 of the seat part 4, allowing the seat part in its bottom position to rest on the support frame.
  • the gas spring 7 lifts the rear end of the seat so that this is pivoted to a forwards tilted position where the gas spring is fully extended, and the spring serve as a stop for the movement, alternatively an independent and even adjustable stop may be arranged, for instance in the shape of a tape.
  • an independent and even adjustable stop may be arranged, for instance in the shape of a tape.
  • the lifting force from the gas spring 7 can be adjusted both in the lower end 8 and the upper end 9 to take up the percentage of the user's weight that is needed in order to permit the user to sit down and get up from the easy chair 1 without help from others.
  • the adjustment may simply comprise a number of holes in the spring brackets with different distances to the hinge.
  • the easy chair is furthermore provided with a control lever 10 connected to a mechanism with which the spring and thereby the seat part 4 can be locked in any end or intermediate position.
  • the armrests are fastened, preferably adjustably, to the seat part supporting the user's lower arms during the movement up and down.
  • the armrests may be fastened in the support frame in order to provide a fixed hand support when getting up or down.
  • the gap between the support frame and the seat part in the raised position of the latter can be covered by an elastic fabric, that due to its elasticity withdraw into the easy chair when the seat is lowered.
  • a second embodiment of the invention is shown, here in the shape of a chair.
  • the chair comprise two separate parts, one part being a support part 14 with legs 15 and the second part being a seat part 16.
  • the two parts are joined to each other via a hinge 21.
  • a gas spring 17 is arranged in one or both the rear legs of the chair. The gas spring 17 lifts the rear end of the seat part upward so that this is pivoted around the hinge 21 in front of the chair.
  • the seat part is then inclined forward and the person sitting down in the chair quickly get in contact with back, bottom and thighs.
  • the force from the gas spring 17 can be adjusted in the lower end 19 of the spring to take up the part of the user's weight that is needed in order to allow the user both to sit down and to get up from the chair 13 without help from others. Adjustment can simply be obtained by changing the distance of the lower end of the spring from the floor.
  • the seat part 16 can be provided with a mechanism in the gas spring for locking the seat part in any position.
  • An additional or alternative mechanism may automatically lock the fully lowered position.
  • the seating furniture according to the invention is simple, light and easily understood and used.
  • the invention has been described by way of preferable embodiments and exchanges and alteration can be made within the scope of the invention.
  • the easy chair and chair are shown with a backrest that has a fixed angle relative the seat.
  • the angle may be adjustable.
  • the seat height may be adjustable for instance by resting on adjustable ledges or on different ledges with different heights or have differently long legs.
  • the shapes of seat and backrest may differ.
