Description

Armchair with sink.

The invention is the adjustment device of a headrest in a hairdressing chair that incorporates a headrest, as well as the armchair in which it is installed.

They have been in the hairdressing chairs market for hair washing men and women provided with a handwash consisting of basically, in a pool placed behind the seat, integrated or installed in the same chair.

The most frequent problem in this type of armchairs is to conveniently attach the headrest to the neck and shoulders of the user so that during washing they do not the water is drained from the hair to the neck and the water is pick up in the pool.

To achieve this it is essential that the neck of the person to whom you are washing your hair adheres perfectly to the headrest.

Although this may seem not only fundamental but also simple, because of the different height of the people who are going to wash their hair in a hairdresser, intervene many factors at the time of providing a satisfactory and, if it fits, even comfortable, coupling the neck to the headrest.

There are different solutions in the market for to get it.

A very widespread solution is the armchair with head restraint consisting of a seat attached to a frame that holds the same seat and encompasses a sink for washing the hair.

According to this design, the headrest is also is fixed with respect to the frame and the pool, and therefore it is it is necessary that the seat can move with respect to the frame of armchair support, so that people of different heights can find the most appropriate position for your neck in the headrest cavity.

This form of indirect headrest adjustment with respect to the height of the people it hinders the construction of the armchair since the seat, having to be mobile with respect to the frame, you need different mechanisms to move the seat forward or backward, and the backrest up or toward down.

According to another equally known design, an armchair with a head restraint it is composed of a fixed seat adapted to a pool equipped with a headrest installed in it pool.

According to this design, the adjustment to optimize the coupling between the headrest and the neck of the subjects of different height is achieved through a joint in the pool support. In this way the pool can lean towards the user in case the user is short or in opposite direction, in case the user is more tall high.

However, this solution is not lacking defects in that the pool that collects the wash water from the hair, being tilted forward or backward, there is the risk that the water collected in the pool may slip also by the user's neck or even get out completely outside.

Another defect of this solution is that the sink and the tap are tilted, with all the consequences that this I can carry.

In addition, it is difficult to find a position optimal as the setting just described is quite Limited and limiting.

According to another widespread design, there is a armchair composed of a frame comprising seat and sink fixed with an adjustable headrest vertically.

Vertical adjustment can occur, for example, by means of a telescopic tube blocked by a thread that the hairdresser himself is responsible for fixing.

When this adjustment occurs in a vertical direction preset, depending on the height of the people, the inclination of the ideal line that joins the bottom of the seat with the neck support line over headrest.

In this case the surface of backup support so the user must modify the position of your own back to look for a correct position of Support against the backrest.

The headrest adjustment that we just mentioning presents the great limitations and defects pointed out so, most of the time, the user doesn't get Support your back correctly, feeling very uncomfortable.

The object of the present invention is the elimination of the defects that have just been detailed.

Indeed, it is intended to provide an armchair provided with devices for head restraints in which the Headrest can be adjusted and fits perfectly to all people, regardless of their height.

Another purpose of the invention is to provide of a simple, cheap and easy to use headrest even by poorly experienced people

Another purpose of the invention is that of have an armchair with a headrest and headrest in which the Headrest can be easily removed for washing thoroughly.

No less important is the purpose of providing of an armchair with a headrest and headrest in which the Headrest can easily be replaced, if desired, with another headrest of different color.

All these purposes and others that specify below are reached with an armchair provided with basin that, according to the content of the first claim, includes a frame integrated by:

-

a seat with backrest;

-

a pool placed on the back of said backrest, provided with drain for water and

?

at least one tap for the water supply;

-

a headrest with a suitable collection surface for channeling towards said pool the water used to wash the hair of a person and with a profiled edge that forms two protrusions basically the same and separated by a cavity linking said protruding and allowing the person to support the neck.

This armchair is characterized by the fact that said headrest is provided by, two lateral projections with with respect to said collection area in each of which find a groove where a pivot that comes out of the body of the pool allowing the free rotation of said headrest.

The form also belongs to the same invention of adjustment of the headrest integrated to the chair, characterized by the following phases:

-

turn the headrest so that the two profiled edge protrusions belonging to the same headrest are arranged so that do not interfere in the support against the backrest of said chair by user part;

-

turn the headrest in the opposite direction to the first so that the two profiled edge projections rest on the shoulders of the user, while the user's neck is placed on the existing cavity between the two projections.

The invention has many advantages in this sense, since the adjustment of the headrest simply depends on the rotation of the same headrest on the two pivots belonging to the pool, the seat and the pool can form part of a single frame without the need for seat adjustments in As for inclination or height.

It is clear that this possibility allows a notable savings in the manufacturing costs of said chair, not no adjustment or displacement device of the seat and pool.

Of course, the headrest of the object chair of the invention can be adapted not only to an armchair of the type monobastidor, but also to an armchair that has a seat adjustable so that the person you feel is more comfortable, without losing some advantage of the perfection of the adjustment that it is achieved with the headrest object of the invention.

It should also be noted that the armchair provided of the headrest object of the invention can easily be used by people of the most diverse statures in terms of according to the method of the invention, before it feels Someone must keep the headrest turned on the side contrary to the person who is going to sit so that their presence does not interfere with the back of the person there feel

Once the person has sat in the seat, just turn the head restraint in reverse so that the two projections of which the headrest is provided lean on the shoulders of the person who will then support the neck in the existing cavity between the two projections.

It is clear that, by changing the height of people, the rotation of the headrest will be every time a different angle, but the headrest will always be positioned so that it satisfies not only the need for comfort of the user, but also the safety of the regular water jet washing, preventing it from leaving the collection pool.

Other features and details of the invention will be specified more clearly in the description, in a way preferred, embodiment of the invention provided by way of title indicative but not limiting, and will be illustrated in the drawings of the annexes where:

With reference to the mentioned figures, it notes that the armchair object of the invention, indicated in its set with (1), it presents a frame (2) that supports a seat, indicated as a whole with (3), a sink, indicated as a whole with (4), placed behind the seat back, at least one tap for water supply, indicated with (5), and a headrest, indicated with (6).

In the case of the example, the frame (2) consists in a single monobloc body in which the seat is collected so much (3) as the pool (4). In other cases, the frame may not be monobloc A suitable covering is applied to the seat (3) indicated with the number (30), so that both the seat (31) as the backrest (32) is soft enough for the greater comfort of the person who is going to sit.

The pool (4), as seen in the example, is obtained directly from the same frame mold.

It doesn't change anything if in other examples of embodiment the sink is inserted into the frame or added to the latter in the most timely manner.

With respect to the headrest, indicated with (6) as a whole, it is observed that said headrest reproduced in the example has been constructed in plastic, and preferably in polyethylene. Said headrest (6) has the shape of the type that It can be seen in Fig. 2 where in its previous part they observe two equal projections (61) among which is a cavity (62) within which the person's neck is housed who is going to wash his hair.

The headrest (6) has a surface of collection of washing water, indicated with (63) as a whole, which it presents two convergent lateral parts towards the center to facilitate the evacuation of water and its collection at the bottom of the pool (4).

Also, the headrest (6) is provided with two projections, indicated with (64) and (65) respectively, identical and placed on both sides with respect to the surface of collection (63).

In correspondence with the back of each projection (64) and (65) is a slot indicated with (66) for the projection (64) and with (67) for the projection (65), and where the groove width allows the housing of the pivots (41) and (42) nailed in the pool (4) and placed in direction horizontal.

In a variant of the realization of headrest reproduced in Fig. 2a, each projection (64) It has a different groove shape, as indicated in (68). In this case, the groove is no longer a cut in the part back of the ledge to become a kind of ring open that presents a narrowing in (69). So, the pivot (41) or (42) enters through the open part of the groove (68) overcoming, by the elasticity of the material, the narrowing (69) and being placed inside the space delimited by said ring open.

As you can easily understand, by having in this way, as seen in Fig. 4 of the headrest (6) in basically vertical position, the groove or ring open (67) welcomes the pivot (41) so that the headrest (6) can rotate and swing on the user's shoulders, as see more easily in Figures 5 and 6.

With respect to these figures, and especially to Fig. 5, it is observed that the latter reproduces the view schematic of the armchair object of the invention used by one. medium height person.

In this case, the headrest (6) is supported on the person's shoulders, indicated with (8), and said headrest also follows the movement that person can perform once you have sat down, since the weight of the headrest always allows you to keep the headrest in place over the shoulders.

In Fig. 6 a person is indicated, indicated with the number (9), much higher than the person (8), who has shoulders at a height higher than that seen in Fig. 5.

In this case, the headrest (6), based on a higher position will rest on the shoulders (91) before in the person (9) and, therefore, a lower rotation will be performed to the one made to hit the shoulders of the indicated person with the number (8).

To be more explicit, according to the demonstration illustrated in the example, so that the person who is going to washing your hair feels at ease without the headrest is an obstacle to support the back in the backrest will be lifted, as indicated in position (A), the headrest, pulling it in the opposite direction to that of work, indicated with (B) in Fig. 4. Once the person is seated, the headrest is lowered from position (A) to the position (B) corresponding to the headrest support on the user's shoulders, as observed in the Figs. 5 and 6

When the person notices on their shoulders that they have supported the headrest, and especially the two projections, you can go back with your neck until you rest on the cavity (62) between the two projections.

It is therefore easy to understand how by effect of gravity the headrest rests directly on the person that he will sit down, without any adjustment, as Indicates above.

The fact that the coupling of Headrest (6) is produced by introducing the pivots in the open grooves or ring (66) and (67), demonstrates, by on the one hand the extreme ease with which the headrest attaches to the sink and, on the other hand, you can see how easy it is to remove the headrest of the wash basin.

This facility in assembling and disassembling the Pool headrest allows two important operations. The first is basically that of daily cleaning, or even the headrest cleaning after each wash so that the next person enjoy a clean headrest and not previously used by anyone. The second consists of the possibility of replacing the headrest, for example for reasons aesthetic, changing the color of the headrest, or for reasons hygienic

In special cases, a disposable headrest that can be washed, sterilized and Prepare before use, so that all users can have the privilege of using a headrest fully sterilized.

Also, in case you decide to do the headrest object of the invention in plastic material, such as the polyethylene, the sensation will be significantly eliminated or cushioned unpleasant cold that users have when they place the head in porcelain headrest or similar materials.

According to the preferred representation of the invention just described, the frame (1) presents in its back a shelf (11) coupled to a cavity (12) that is found on the back of the frame, which is useful for leave the jars (13) of the products necessary for washing or hair treatment
