Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lumbar support, a backrest, a chair and a method for adjusting a lumbar support
  • the lordosis is the natural bauchierrtige curvature of the lumbar spine.
  • a lumbar support is an element on a chair that supports the lumbar spine of a person sitting on the chair. When lumbar spine muscles become tired during long periods of sitting, lice support helps to maintain the natural posture with lordosis.
  • a lumbar support is in the DE 20 2004 018 266 U1 described.
  • the lumbar support is formed with a support and, a backrest acting on the outside, supporting element.
  • the support member is mounted by means of an adjusting screw in the carrier or rotatable, whereby the distance of the support member from the carrier can be changed.
  • Such a lumbar support is rigid and consists of a high number of parts.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an improved and simplified lumbar support and a backrest, a chair and a method for adjusting a lumbar support available.
  • this object is achieved by a lumbar support with the features of claim 1 and / or by a backrest according to claim 14 and / or by a chair according to claim 18 and / or by a method having the features of claim 19.
  • the adjustable lumbar support essentially has only four parts, namely a frame, two anchoring extensions and a support device, wherein the support device can be turned over easily without loosening by hand and thus two different and easily adjustable lumbar support levels are provided.
  • the anchoring extensions and the frame can also be integrally formed with each other.
  • the lumbar support has essentially only two parts.
  • the anchoring extensions are set in a state in which they are displaceable in the vertical direction.
  • the anchoring processes do not have to be completely loose. Instead, it is also sufficient if the one translational degree of freedom in which the vertical displacement occurs is not fixed.
  • Fastening is to be understood as defining all degrees of freedom.
  • the loosening and fastening can be done by hand, for example surmountable resistance. This may in particular be a clamping and / or latching resistance, which is generated by extending in serrations locking lugs. In this case, loosening means manually overcoming the resistance so that the lumbar support is displaced by hand. Fastening in this case simply means letting go of the lumbar support, so that it remains in its position due to the resistance.
  • Vertical is to be understood here as essentially along the vertical direction of the backrest. This is generally also applicable to swivel backrests, so that in a pivotable backrest under the vertical direction is essentially to understand the direction of a swivel angle.
  • the anchoring extensions for height adjustment of the position of the lumbar support are formed on the backrest.
  • the height adjustment of the position of the lumbar support on the backrest is the ergonomic adjustment and is to be understood as a displacement of the entire lumbar support along the vertical direction of the backrest. This can be done, for example, along a frame of the backrest.
  • the anchoring extensions and / or the backrest, in particular a frame of the backrest can for this purpose with guide devices and / or locking devices and / or clamping devices and / or locking devices and / or may be provided, which are designed such that a height adjustment is easily carried out by hand.
  • the frame and / or the recess and / or the support device in the plan view has a shape which contains two parallel edges and two rounded portions connecting the two edges at their respective ends.
  • Edges in the frame are to be understood as outer edges between outer curves.
  • the recess edges are to be understood as inner edges of the frame between inner curves of the frame at the edge of the recess.
  • the support means edges are to be understood as outer edges between outer curves.
  • the rounding may include a semi-circular shape and / or a semi-elliptical shape and / or two rounded corners and / or the like.
  • the frame, the recess and the support means have in the direction of the edges on a longitudinal axis which extends between the two edges.
  • the support means and the recess with respect to their dimensions are formed so that the support means is disposed within the recess.
  • the support device in at least one position, can be completely or partially recessed flush with the frame and / or in the frame and / or protruding in front of the frame.
  • the recess and frame have a geometry with two have parallel edges and two edges connecting the two edges at their respective ends rounded portions, while the edges of the support means are shorter and formed at a smaller distance from each other than the edges of the recess.
  • the support means has a first surface and an opposite second surface which have a different surface shape.
  • surface form is meant the three-dimensional configuration of the respective side of the support device.
  • Different pages can thus be different, for example, with regard to the height of a pad of the support device. But it can also be a different width and / or height and / or depth and / or a different relief and / or a different outer contour and / or any other geometric property of the pages to be different. It can also be one of the two surfaces formed flat. In particular, a knobbed surface may also be provided on one side.
  • the support means on the first surface on at least partially convex shape in the axial direction. That is, the support means provides the greatest support at this side in the longitudinal center by the convex shape.
  • the support means on the second surface on at least partially concave in the axial direction on the shape. That is, the support means provides on this side in the longitudinal center by the concave shape the least support.
  • the frame is preferably designed so that a harmonious transition to the concave shape of the support means is provided.
  • the support means on both surfaces on a transversely at least partially convex shape can be provided.
  • an ergonomic shape, in particular with a lordosis corresponding curvature in the transverse direction of the support element can be provided.
  • a harmonious transition between supporting device and frame is made possible.
  • the anchoring extensions extend in the longitudinal direction of the frame and are each arranged opposite one another at the level of the middle of a rounded section.
  • the anchoring extensions can be aligned on the extended longitudinal axis of the frame.
  • the support device and / or the anchoring extensions are designed to compensate for tolerances and / or flexibly and / or in particular to provide supporting force.
  • the anchoring extensions can be configured flexibly for tensile and torsional loads.
  • the support member may be resilient to punctiform and / or surface pressure loads. The loads are usually predominantly perpendicular to the Backrest surface due to the person reclining.
  • the support means and the anchoring processes can thus adapt to varying loads, for example by movements of a person using the lumbar support. Therefore, a comfortable and ergonomic support of the lumbar spine is also ensured during movements or posture changes of a person or even when using the lumbar support of different people.
  • the support means polyurethane foam and / or a wire insert and / or the anchoring extensions and a plastic, in particular polyamide 6.
  • the materials mentioned provide sufficient stability while ensuring the other preferred mechanical properties, such as flexibility and Abstützkraftnachgiebtechnik.
  • alternative materials that a person skilled in the art can interpret differently.
  • at least two different materials with different properties can also be contained simultaneously in the support element.
  • one side of the support element may thereby be padded harder than the other side.
  • the wire insert may include a metal and, alternatively or additionally, another solid and / or elastically deformable material.
  • the lumbar support is provided adjustable by means of rotation of the support device with regard to the degree of its lordosis support.
  • a lumbar support may be provided in a first position in a second position, or at least to a lesser extent.
  • Fixing means may be, for example, guide rails and / or sliding devices and / or latching devices and / or clip devices and / or clamping devices and / or screwing devices and / or the like.
  • these are oriented vertically on the backrest and / or multiple present and vertically distributed to the backrest in an area in which the lumbar spine may be located.
