Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of the prevention of morphological and functional disorders of the body induced by the common sitting position. It relates more particularly to a physiological sitting device allowing such prevention.
  • US 2007/222265 A1 , DE 29711329 U1 and EP2172135 A1 are considered as documents reflecting the state of the art and as useful for understanding the invention.
  • a third dysfunctional mode predominates which associates the verticalized posture and the respiratory motricity of relaxation. This is the mode of posturo-respiratory degeneration.
  • this belt shows its limits in a seated position when the pelvis is poorly positioned. Nor does it deal with the anti-physiological character of the sitting position.
  • the present inventor now proposes an alternative device to the classic chair.
  • the optimal physiological posture is characterized, in verticality, by an alignment of the occipito-altoid and coxo-femoral pivots on a vertical line, tangent to the anterior edge of the third lumbar, projecting to the ground in the middle of the feet.
  • This optimal posture is illustrated on the Figure 1A , on which the vertebral column C and the pelvis B of the person have been shown and the occipito-altoid pivot has been designated by P1, by P2 that of the coxo-femoral pivots which appears on the Figure 1A , by Lb the 3 rd lumbar and by V the vertical.
  • the sitting position induces retroversion of the pelvis and thoracic hyperkyphosis, also illustrated by counterclockwise and clockwise oriented circles, respectively.
  • the seated position thus promotes posturo-respiratory degradation and its expressions: fatigue, stress, degradation of the state of health, etc.
  • Sitting is a major public health problem.
  • the present invention therefore aims to propose a solution making it possible to correct the sitting posture of a person so that it is optimal and conforms to the physiology of man in verticality, by making it possible to prevent retroversion of the pelvis, lumbar delordosis , thoracic hyperkyphosis, muscular hypotonia of the trunk and their orthopedic, morphological and metabolic consequences.
  • the user When the user sits on the seat device according to the present invention, he places the top of his thighs on the saddle and his weight will be applied to the saddle at the level of the point of intersection between the saddle and the plumb with the user's center of gravity, in other words in front of the seat axis.
  • the weight of the user will therefore exert on the seat, due to the lever arm between the seat axis and said point of intersection, a torque of rotation in the clockwise direction, therefore in the direction opposite to the stress exerted on the seat by the respective elastic biasing means, the latter also being configured so that the bias they exert is less than the stress exerted by the user.
  • This clockwise rotation torque causes the seat and the lumbar part to pivot in a single piece in the clockwise direction until the lumbar part comes to rest against the back of the user, at the level of the lumbar vertebrae. , to correctly orient the spine and pelvis. It is emphasized here that the saddle contributes to the freedom of correct orientation of the pelvis in a seated position.
  • the seating device according to the present invention allows the simultaneous correction of the orientation of the pelvis and the organization of the spine, without the user having to perform any action other than simply sitting on the seating device.
  • the saddle is connected to the front region of the seat by a connection allowing the saddle to pivot relative to the seat around a pivot axis, called the saddle axis, which is parallel to the axis seat and in front of the seat axis in the depth direction of the seat, being provided means for elastic biasing of the saddle forwards.
  • a pivot axis called the saddle axis
  • the user when the user places the top of his thighs on the saddle, his weight will, in addition to the seat, cause the saddle to pivot counter-clockwise, against the stress exerted on the saddle by the respective elastic biasing means, the latter being configured so that the bias they exert is less than the stress exerted by the user.
  • the stress exerted by the saddle on the user further improves, due to the positioning of the saddle on the upper thighs of the user and therefore the absence of support on the pelvis or the sacrum, the prevention of retroversion of the pelvis.
  • the seat device comprises stoppers positioned to limit the pivoting travel of the seat and/or, where appropriate, of the saddle, in both directions of rotation.
  • connection between the seat and the base is a first pivot connection and, where applicable, the connection between the saddle and the seat is a second pivot connection, the first and second pivot connections each comprising a pivot constituting the seat axis and saddle axis, respectively.
  • the elastic biasing means of the seat and/or, where appropriate, of the saddle are springs, in particular torsion springs, preferably with adjustable tension.
  • the seat is mounted adjustable in position, in the depth direction of the seat, relative to the base, so as to allow adjustment of the distance between the seat axis and the saddle axis, in the depth direction of the seat.
  • the lumbar part can be fixed to or formed by a part of the backrest, preferably a part of the backrest, in particular the free end region of the backrest, which is in return towards the front region of the seat.
  • the lumbar part is adjustable in position, relative to the seat axis, in the vertical direction and in the depth direction of the seat, so as to allow adjustment of the position of the lumbar part in depending on the build of the user.
  • the saddle is formed of two parts symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane to which the depth direction of the seat belongs, each part of the saddle being intended to support the top of a respective thigh of the user, the spacing between the two parts of the saddle being preferably adjustable.
  • the saddle comprises a front region, intended to support the upper thighs of the user, plumb with the axes of the coxo-femoral joints of the user, and a rear region which is hollowed out in a medial zone where the seat bones of the user will be located and which goes up in its two lateral zones, so as to slightly envelop the infero-lateral parts of the buttocks.
  • the base is of the rocker type at least in the sagittal plane, possibly also in the transverse plane.
  • Such a rocker type base makes the seating device unstable to a certain extent. This instability of the base makes it possible to solicit the muscular chains of the user's trunk when he is seated on the seat device, in a manner analogous to their solicitation when the user is standing and the pelvis is unstable and oscillates on the pivots of the lower limb. The sitting device then makes it possible to prevent muscular hypotonia of the trunk.
  • the base may have a rounded base, optionally having height adjustment wedge interlocking means following the same curve as the base.
  • the seat device may further comprise means for defining the maximum amplitude of tilting of the base, preferably comprising feet mounted in translation with respect to the base so as to be movable between a position in which they protrude with respect to the base so as to be able to come into contact with the ground to oppose the tilting of the base, and a position in which they do not protrude with respect to the base.
  • elastic biasing means such as for example springs, to bias the feet towards the position in which they protrude with respect to the base.
  • the seat device 1 comprises a base 2, a seat 3, a backrest 4 and a saddle 5.
  • the base 2 is defined so as to rest, by its lower part, on the ground and to support, by its upper part, the seat 3, the backrest 4 and the saddle 5.
  • the underframe 2 according to the present invention is remarkable for the arrangement of its lower part, or base, and of its upper part.
  • the base 2 has been represented schematically by a circular sector delimited by two rectilinear lines 21 meeting at a vertex materializing the upper part 22 of the base 2 and by an arc of a circle connecting the ends of the lines 21 and materializing the lower part 23 of the base 2.
  • the present invention is not limited to any structure of the base 2 between the upper part 22 and the lower part 23, and one could use, for the upper parts 22 and lower 23, structures already employed in conventional chairs. , such as metal rods.
  • the base 2 is of the rocker type, which means that its lower part 23 actually has at least one contact surface with the ground which follows an arc of a circle whose center, according to the present invention, belongs to the horizontal line passing through the upper part 22 of the base 2.
  • a contact surface may be implemented in any appropriate form, also well known per se, such as for example by the use of two curved parts, in particular of wood , connecting four legs of the base.
  • Such a rocker-type base 2 offers the user a functional and dynamic posture by allowing him to rock forwards and backwards in the sagittal plane, as will emerge from the Figures 5A to 5E .
  • the base 2 is not stable, and the muscle chains of the user's trunk will therefore be stressed when the user naturally seeks balance. This prevents muscular hypotonia of the trunk.
  • the lower part 23 allows a tilting of the seat device 1 to the left and to the right, in other words transversely to the sagittal plane, to further amplify the functional and dynamic character of the seat device 1. It could thus be provided that the lower part 23 is formed by a plate which follows a spherical cap of a sphere whose center is located on the horizontal line passing through the upper part 22 of the base 2.
  • the upper part 22 of the base 2 is connected to the seat 3 by a pivot connection 6, represented by a circle on the Figure 3 , allowing relative pivoting between the base 2 and the seat 3 around a pivot axis, called seat axis, designated by the reference A1 and represented by a smaller circle on the Figure 3 .
  • the seat axis A1 is globally located in the middle part of the seat 3, in the depth direction of the seat 3.
  • the seat device 1 also comprises means for elastically biasing the seat 3 in rotation in the anti-clockwise direction, as illustrated by a circle bearing the arrow F1 on the Figure 3 .
  • these elastic biasing means can be implemented in any appropriate form without departing from the scope of the present invention.
  • Adjustable stops for stopping the pivoting of the seat 3 can be carried or formed by the base 2 to define the end positions of the seat 3 in the anti-clockwise direction and in the clockwise direction.
  • the seat 3 and the backrest 4 are made in one piece, in a single piece, a first region of which, extending globally horizontally, forms the seat 3 and of which a second region, extending overall vertically, forms the backrest 4.
  • a shell shape has been given to this part, for a pleasant and modern aesthetic appearance. It is therefore easy to understand that the backrest 4 will pivot together with the seat 3 around the axis A1.
  • the backrest 4 extends from a rear region 31 of the seat 3 and has a free end region 41, namely the region of the upper horizontal edge of the backrest 4, which returns horizontally at least slightly towards the region front 32 of the seat 3.
  • a buffer 42 forming the lumbar part according to the present invention, is fixed here to the free end region 41, so as to form the part of the backrest 4 which will come into contact with the back of the user.
  • the lumbar part 42 may be made of foam and fabric, rubber, etc. Of course, the lumbar part 42 could be formed directly by the free end region 41 of the backrest 4, and not by a part attached thereto.
  • the backrest 4 is sized so that the lumbar part 42 is located at the height of the lumbar vertebrae of the user seated on the seat device 1.
  • the lumbar part 42 offers a convex surface, to prevent contact of the lumbar part 42 against the back of the user does not lead to pain or discomfort in the user.

  • the saddle 5 is connected to the seat 3, at the level of the front region 32 of the latter, by a pivot connection 7, represented by a point on the Figure 3 , allowing relative pivoting between the seat 3 and the saddle 5 about a pivot axis, called the saddle axis, designated by the reference A2 and represented by the same point on the Figure 3 .
  • the saddle axis A2 is therefore located in front of the seat axis A1, in the depth direction of the seat 3.
  • the seat device 1 also comprises means for elastically biasing the saddle 5 in clockwise rotation, as illustrated by a circle bearing the arrow F2 on the Figure 3 .
  • these elastic biasing means can be implemented in any appropriate form without departing from the scope of the present invention.
  • Stops for stopping the pivoting of the saddle 5 are carried or formed by the seat 3 to define the limit switches of the saddle 5 counterclockwise and clockwise.
  • the various stops can be positioned so that in the absence of a person seated in the seat device 1, the seat 3, the backrest 4 and the saddle 5 are in the configuration illustrated on the Figure 3 : the seat 3 and the backrest 4 are at least slightly inclined towards the rear and the saddle 5 is at least slightly inclined towards the front.
  • This particular configuration allows the user to sit naturally on the seat device 1, as can be seen in the Figures 4A to 4D .

  • each wedge 9 will follow a curve whose radius of curvature is different from that of the other wedges 9.
  • the means for fitting a wedge may be for example clips, fitting of male lugs into female housings, screws, etc.
  • the base 2 comprises a U-shaped support 28 whose two wings 28a are triangular and taper upwards, and a foot 28b ( Figures 17A to 17C ) extends downwards from the bottom 28c of the support 28 to be received in a sliding manner, so as to be adjustable in height, in a cylindrical housing 20a carried at the upper end of a base 20 forming the leg part proper.
  • the rotation of the foot 28b relative to the housing 20a, and therefore of the support 28 relative to the base 20, can be free or locked by any appropriate means.
  • the height adjustment stroke of the foot 28b is equal to the height of a wedge 9, so as to offer the user the possibility of adjusting the seat 3 to any height in the entire height range that provide the wedges 9 and the foot 28b.
  • Each wing 28a has a through hole 28d ( Figure 18C ) opposite that of the other wing 28a, for mounting a pivot 28e which will itself extend through a second through hole 30d of the seat body 30, so that the seat body 30 can pivot relative to support 28.
  • Each wing 28a further has, along each of its two inclined edges, an elongated slot 28f serving to receive a stop bolt 28g.
  • two stop bolts 28g extend across the support 28 so as to constitute, for one, a stop for stopping the pivoting of the seat body 30 towards the rear, and, for the other , a stopper for forward pivoting.
  • the user can thus define the positions of the pivoting limit switches of the seat 3 / backrest 4 / saddle 5 assembly, simply by loosening the nut of a stop bolt 28g, by sliding the screw of the bolt d stop 28g along the lights 28f, then tightening the nut to immobilize the stop bolt 28g.
  • the user can choose, for example, to limit the forward pivoting more strongly than the backward pivoting, as on the Figure 17B , or provide the same maximum angle of inclination forwards and backwards, as on the Figure 17C .
  • the spring part 29 is a torsion spring formed by a metal wire which, in a first end region 29a, is wound into turns, in a central region 29b, is bent so as to form a front U, in a second region end 29c, to be wound again in turns coaxial with those of the first end region 29a.
  • the central region 29b is formed by a stem portion which is parallel to the axis of the turns but offset from it, the spring part 29 being U-shaped.
  • a mounting leg 29e extends outward from each end region 29a, 29c, for mounting the spring piece 29 to the support 28, as shown in the figures.
  • Figures 18C and 18D a series of through-holes 28h will have been provided in the vicinity of each other and following an arc of a circle centered on the through-hole 28d in which the pivot 28e is mounted, each mounting branch 29e being able to be mounted selectively in one of the holes 28h.
  • the user can adjust the magnitude of this elastic stress by modifying the positioning of the mounting branches 29e in the holes 28h.
  • the support 28 is capable of pivoting relative to the base 20, then locked in position by any appropriate means, the user can orient the base 20 relative to the support 28 so that the base 2 is of the rocker type in the sagittal plane, as shown in the Figures 20A and 20B , or of the rocker type in the transverse plane, as illustrated in the Figures 20C and 20D .
  • the user is able to adjust the position of the lumbar part 42 so that it comes into contact with the back both with the appropriate effort and in the appropriate position.
  • the modification of the force applied by the lumbar part 42 on the user's back depends on the clockwise rotation torque applied to the seat 3 by the weight of the user.
  • a first solution simple, consists in adjusting the magnitude of the elastic stress exerted by the elastic stress means of the seat 3 in anti-clockwise rotation. The greater the magnitude of the elastic stress, the smaller the resultant of the elastic stress and of the torque applied by the user on the seat 3, and therefore the greater the force applied by the lumbar part 42 against the back. of the user will be low.
  • these elastic biasing means are formed by a spring, it suffices to modify the stiffness of the spring, for example by replacing it with another spring or, more simply, by adjusting the spring as described above.
  • This adjustment can also be obtained by adjusting the distance between the seat axis A1 and the saddle axis A2, as is possible in the particular embodiment described above.
  • the pivot 28e has been placed in the fourth of the second through-holes 30d of the seat body 30, starting from the left.
  • the action of the weight on the seat 3 takes place along the vertical line tangent to the 3 rd lumbar Lb, as illustrated in the Figure 4D .

  • the seat device 1′ comprises a base 2′, a seat 3′, a backrest 4′, a lumbar part 42′ and a saddle 5′.
  • the base 2' is of the rocker type and is remarkable, compared to those described above, in that it comprises a U-shaped part 20', the two side arms 21' of which are curved, following an arc of a circle, and in contact with the ground and that on the underside of each lateral arm 21' is provided a rectilinear tab 22', one end of which is fixed, by any appropriate means, such as for example by screws to the underside of the respective side arm 21', in the region close to the base of the U-shape of the piece 20, the rest of the tab 22' not being integral with said lateral arm 21' and extending freely as far as the free end of said lateral arm 21', while being generally horizontal at rest, namely in the absence of stress from the seating device 1' by a user, where the seat 3' is substantially horizontal.
  • the base 2' in this position at rest.
  • the end of the tongue 22' is at a distance from the free end of the side arm 21' and the tongue 22' is made of a flexible material having elastic properties, so that in the event that the device seat 1' is in a tilted position towards the rear and the user leaves the seat device 1', the tabs 22', resting on the ground, by their free end regions, bring back, due to their elasticity, base 2' in this rest position.
  • the lumbar part 42' is also adjustable in height, on the same principle of sliding of an upper part bearing the length part 42' in a lower part connected or integral with the seat, with maintenance in position by a wheel 40', here provided on the side.
  • the lumbar part 42' is here advantageously a roller 420' mounted free to rotate about its axis while being carried, at each of its ends, by two vertical arms 421' defining a fork shape across which the roll 420' stretches.
  • the depth of the backrest 4' can also be adjusted, on the same principle of translation, relative to the seat 3', by a system of rack 43' and toothed wheel 44', the rotation of this the latter being controlled by a 45' side wheel ( Picture 21 ), the backrest 4' thus being able to be brought closer to or moved away from the saddle 5' as illustrated by the two pairs of arrows.
  • the saddle 5' is again in two parts 50' symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane to which the depth direction of the seat 3' belongs, and that the spacing between these two parts 50' is also adjustable, the parts associated with this adjustment are received in a casing assembly 51' that is more pleasing to the eye.
  • each support 52' comprises a first casing part 520', also bent.
  • the first support 52' includes a first horizontal bar 521' extending out of the first housing part 520'.
  • the first bar 521' has, on its upper side, a first rebate 522', pushed from its free end to the vicinity of the entry into the first casing part 520', where it ends in a second rebate 523' narrower.

  • the heights of the first and second bars 521' are such that in the assembled position the second bar 521' extends above the first bar 521' and a central space 525' is delimited laterally by the first two rabbets 522' facing each other, including the two blocks carrying the racks in the openings 524', and vertically by the upper and lower sides respectively of the first and the second bar 521'.

  • the casing assembly 51' is formed by the first casing parts 52', by an upper cover 53' and a lower cover 54' ( Picture 24 ).
  • the covers 53' and 54' are generally semi-cylindrical, each with an opening 531', 541' in their side wall which extends over part of the circumference, the two openings 531' and 541' communicating with one the other and defining a space in which is located a locking handle 55' which is pivotally mounted about an axis parallel to the pivot axis A2 of the saddle 5', by means of pivots (not shown) mounted each partly in a side hole 550' ( Picture 27 ) of the handle 55' and partly in a corresponding hole provided in the upper cover 53' (not visible).
  • the handle 55' notably comprises a projection 551' which extends through an opening provided in a first cylindrical intermediate part 56' surrounded by the covers 53' and 54', and through an opening provided in a second intermediate part 57' partially surrounded by the first intermediate piece 56' and themselves surrounding the first and second bars 521'.
  • the handle 55' In a second position, called the release position, the handle 55' has been pivoted upwards, which has the effect of releasing the support exerted by the projection 551' on the second bar 521', to an extent such that a relative translation between the first and second supports 52' is permitted, in the direction parallel to the pivot axis A2 of the saddle 5'.
  • This translation is carried out directly by the user, pulling or pushing the supports 52', which will slide inside the upper 53' and lower 54' covers.
