Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a height adjustment device for an armrest of a chair or other seating furniture, preferably an office chair. More specifically, the invention relates to a height adjustment device as specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a height adjustment device as used by the applicant comprises a pivotable rod with teeth arranged on a side of the rod along the length of this, and where the teeth are pivoted in and out of intervention with corresponding shaped portions on a circumferential part such as to lock the armrest at different heights where each tooth constitutes a freely selectable height.
  • the height adjustment device according to the invention is characterized by the indicated features in the characteristic of claim 1.
  • direction indications such as “upwards”, “downwards” and similar are related to an office chair or other seating furniture provided with the invention and in normal use position, standing on a floor or other base.
  • a height adjustment device for an armrest 1 indicated with stippled lines in fig. 1 and where a portion of the armrest 1 for pivotably fastening of a locking pin assembly 2 is indicated with 1', as the locking pin assembly 2 is pivotably supported in relation to the armrest 1 via two opposite directed pivots 3 arranged in an upper end of the locking pin assembly 2 and which grips correspondingly shaped holes in the armrest 1.
  • the locking pin assembly 2 is slidably arranged in an internal groove 4 in an upper part of the stem 5 of the armrest, and where the stem 5 typically is attached to a not shown fitting or undercarriage of an office chair and projecting out and up on each side of a not shown chair seat, as will easily be evident for the person skilled in the art.
  • a lower part of the armrest 1 preferably encloses the upper part of the stem 5, and thus conceals and protects that part of the locking pin assembly 2 which at any given time projects up and out from the stem 5, and also forms a guiding between the armrest 1 and stem 5.
  • the adjustment device can also be easily adapted stems 5 which are arranged at an angle in relation to the shown vertical orientation of the stem 5.
  • the locking pin assembly 2, and so the armrest 1, is locked in the desired adjustment position/height by a locking pin 6 which is brought in intervention with a chosen number of locking grooves 7 in the locking pin assembly 2.
  • the locking pin 6 is in its two ends slidably supported in two respective horizontal grooves 8 arranged in an upper end piece 9 of the stem 5, and with a free middle portion for intervention with a chosen one of the locking grooves 7.
  • the locking pin 6 in a locked position is spring loaded to intervention with a locking groove 7 of a spring 10, here a plate spring, which is also located in the upper end part 9.
  • a spring 10 here a plate spring
  • the arm rest 1 will thus be locked in a particular adjustment position/height.
  • the locking pin is brought out of intervention with the locking groove 7, as is shown in fig. 5 and 6 , and this happens by pressing an adjustment lever 11 connected to the armrest 1 in, an inner part 12 of the locking pin assembly 2 is displaced upwards in relation to an outer part 13 of this, and with that presses the locking pin 6 out of the locking groove 7 from the effect of the spring 10, as will be further described below.
  • the locking pin assembly 2 includes the inner part 12, the outer part 13 in which the inner part is slidably arranged, and also a spring 14, here a helical spring, which spring loads the two parts 12, 13 to a mutual position where the locking grooves 7 are open, as open portions or notches 15 on the outer part 13 are then aligned with open portions or notches 16 on the inner part 12, as is shown in fig. 7 .
  • the open portions 15 on the outer part 13 are adapted to the cross section of the locking pin 6, and the same also goes for an upper part of the open portions 16 on the inner part 12.
  • a lower part of the open portions 16 is shaped like an inclined plane 17, which forces the locking pin 6 out of the locking groove 7 from the effect of the spring 10. Further, the open portions 16 are divided by closed portions 18 which completely close the locking grooves 7 when the locking pin 6 is forced out by means of the inclined plane 17 because of upwards displacement of the inner part 12 in the outer part 13 by pressing in the adjustment lever 11. Because closed portions between each respective open portion 15 on the outer part 13 are provided with respective convex curved outer edges 19, preferential, and as introductory mentioned, audible clicks are formed when adjusting the armrest 1, as the spring loaded locking pin 6 upon adjusting will slide against a curved surface with peaks and bottoms, as is especially shown in fig.
  • a pin 22 is provided in an end of the adjustment lever 11 far from the longitudinal axis of the stem 5, and thus also from an upper end of the inner part 12 of the locking pin assembly 2, pivotably supported in a correspondingly shaped hole 25 in the armrest 1.
  • the latter constitutes thus a fixed pivot point in the armrest 1.
  • An opposite end of the adjustment lever 11 is provided with a rectangle shaped pocket groove 23 for pivotable support to a hook shaped upper portion 24 of the inner part 12.
  • the present invention is not limited by the above description, but can vary within the scope of the attached claims.
  • the activation can happen in a lot of other ways than with the shown and described lever 11, as the central object of the activation is to provide the desired displacement between the inner 12 and the outer part 13 of the locking pin assembly 2.
