Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sliding mechanism of horizontal course of the seat of a seat relative to a support plate of the seat in the upper part of the feet of the seat, mechanism, which significantly improves the comfort of use of the seat. seat allowing a relative movement of the seat relative to the rest of the seat, especially when the user tilts his bust backwards, to support his back to the folder.
  • the mechanism of the invention comprises means for guiding the sliding of the seat relative to the support plate, and means for returning the seat in a stable rest position when it undergoes sliding.
  • WO 2008/140752 discloses a sliding mechanism such as that of the present invention, guiding the sliding of the seat on a support plate and the assistant by means of a conventional return member of the tension spring constituting the return means.
  • said return means consist of an elastic piece of synthetic material.
  • the mechanical return characteristic of such a material is favorable in that it leads to a behavior much more comfortable for the user than if it was that of a conventional metal coil tensile spring.
  • the use of such a material also has a significant economic impact since the Making a synthetic rubber spring is less expensive than that of a conventional metal spring.
  • the elastic synthetic part is housed in a recess of the support plate having two transverse walls perpendicular to the displacement of the seat, forming axial stops for members protruding from the seat, one of axial ends of the resilient piece being driven by the seat towards the wall of the proximal recess of the front edge of the seat, the other end being fixed to the distal wall of said edge.
  • slip control implies that, as mentioned, not only return means providing a variable tension dependent on the amplitude of the slip, but also a limited race.
  • the recess therefore has a length sufficient to allow the end driven by the seat to have an axial displacement of predetermined length considered comfortable, beyond which the position of the body is no longer so relaxing for the back.
  • the end of the elastic synthetic part attached to the distal wall of the edge preferably covers a surface of this wall intended to come into contact with a flexible tab protruding from the seat and which has a frontal surface of the same shape, in order to on the one hand to make the rear stop inaudible and give it on the other hand a buffer effect improving the feeling of comfort for the user.
  • said end of the elastic synthetic part comprises a housing partially surrounding the front volume of the flexible tab protruding from the seat, so as to further increase the buffering effect and to secondarily guide said tab.
  • the other end of the elastic synthetic part that which is driven towards the wall of the proximal recess of the front edge of the seat, comprises an orifice housing a pin protruding from the seat and which echoes the movement of the seat to the seat.
  • elastic piece and more particularly at its end adapted to move according to a predetermined stroke length in the recess of the support plate.
  • the orifice in question is oblong, for reasons which essentially relate to the mounting of the seat on the support plate, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • the seat comprises for this purpose, in a possible configuration, two longitudinal lateral flanges oriented along the axis of the sliding and able to slide on pads of the same orientation fixed to the support plate and provided with axial orifices in which nipples projecting beyond soles.
  • the orifices made in the pads may be of rectangular shape, for the purpose of sliding T-shaped nipples of the seat, one end of said orifices being enlarged to allow the introduction of the T-shaped nipple: a classic buttonhole-like configuration with a part of the orifice devoted to its insertion while the other part, the one having the reduced width and the greater length, is provided for guiding the actual sliding.
  • the orifices themselves have an elongated T shape.
  • the orifices of each pad and the nipples of each sole are two located in the vicinity of their axial ends, where a positioning of said links to the corners of the seat.
  • the soles can also be fixed to the seat by T-studs oriented perpendicularly to the nipples of their opposite face sliding in the pads, which cooperate with rectangular orifices with two widths made in the 'seated.
  • the face of the seat oriented on the side of the support plate is provided with pairs of guide pads framing a raised flat portion of the plate, whose side walls slide in said pads.
  • the recess containing the elastic return piece is preferably placed in said raised flat portion, between a pair of these pads.
  • a rectangular orifice is formed in said raised flat portion, in which is fixed a substantially parallelepipedal volume tray constituting the recess, which is centered in said orifice and retained on its edges by a peripheral flange.
  • This peripheral flange is also cut at the level of the transverse wall of the recess to which is fixed the elastic synthetic part, to allow the mounting of the seat whose elastic tab is bent while the T-pins are inserted. in the widened portion of the orifices of the pads, said tab then being slid through said cutout for insertion into the recess.
  • the cut as much as the elasticity of the leg protruding from the seat function only during assembly.
  • the elastic piece of synthetic rubber is for example made of polyethylene terephthalate.
  • the seat of the invention comprises a shell (1) placed in the upper part of feet (2, 3) and in which is disposed a support plate (4) of a seat (10) as shown in FIG. figure 2 , which is slidably mounted on the assembly appearing in the figure 1 .
  • This sliding, controlled by return means (20) is effected by means of flanges (6, 7) having T-shaped upper lugs (8, 9) for fixing said flanges (6, 7). to the seat (10) via respectively the orifices (11, 12) formed therein.
  • the fastening mode being perpendicular to the sliding, the flanges (6, 7) are first fixed to the seat (10) by insertion of the pins (8, 9) in the enlarged portions of the orifices (11, 12), then sliding outwardly in the narrow portions of said orifices (11, 12).
  • the soles (6, 7) are connected to the pads (13, 14) fixed to the support plate (4), and which appear in figure 3 .
  • These pads (13, 14), fixed to the plate (4) and of the same shape as the flanges (6, 7), have orifices (15, 16) of rectangular shape to two widths to allow a similar type of fixation to the one used for fixing the soles (6, 7) to the seat (10).
  • the reduced width portion of the orifices (15, 16) has a length allowing the nipples (17) to slide in at least the allowable stroke for the seat (10) (between 20 and 30 mm) relative to the support (4) .
  • the stops fixing the terminals of said race are implemented at the return means (20), as will be explained in more detail below.
  • an elastic tab (26) has an end having a parallelepipedal volume, in the manner of a bumper, adapted to fit into a housing (27) formed at the end (22). ) of the elastic piece (20).
  • the end (22) of the part (20) which contains the housing (27) is retained inside the tray by projections (28, 28 ') blocking it at the level of lateral shoulders made between the end (27). 22) and a tab (29) connecting the latter to the main body (30) of the elastic piece having the orifice (24). Said body (30) is guided in translation inside the tray (19) by its side walls and its bottom walls.
  • the cutout (31) made in the collar (21) of the tray (19) allows the tab (26) to slide on the plane middle portion (5) during the insertion of the nipples (17) of the soles (6, 7). ) in the enlarged portions of the orifices (15, 16) formed in the pads (13, 14). In this case, the pin (25) is inserted into the portion of the oblong orifice (24) distal from the end (23). The tab (26) is then flexed.
  • the pin (25) then shifts toward the end (23) of the oblong orifice (24), and the assembly is ready for operation.
  • the operation is then the following: when, under the effect of an action exerted by the user of the seat, the seat (10) slides relative to the support plate (4), the pin (25) drives the body (30) of the resilient piece (20) towards the end (31) of the recess (18). Ultimately, the layer of synthetic material of the piece (20) interposed between the pin (25) and the wall (31) produces a buffer effect that suppresses noise and creates a quilted stop. The end of the tab (26) is then out of the housing (27).
  • pairs of studs (32, 32 ', 33, 33') protruding from the seat (10) surround the raised central plane area (5) of the support plate (4), further reinforcing the guiding of the sliding of the seat (10) relative to said plate (4), in the middle part.
  • the particular mechanical properties of the part (20) make it possible, in addition to the initial return function and the variable resistance opposed to the stresses, to ensure optimum comfort of use by the implementation of buffer stops at the two axial ends of the stroke. sliding of the seat (10) relative to the support plate (4).
