Abstract

The originality of the invention is characterised by the movement of a footrest A which mobilises different parts of the body (the lower limbs, the pelvis, muscles of the buttocks and of the back, the spinal column, etc.) by displacing the lower limbs of a person sitting on the tiltable sitting surface of a seat B.

Description

DESCRIPTION
La position assise prolongée est souvent mal supportée. Elle est cependant nécessaire dans un bon nombre d'activités. Le caractère statique de la position joue probablement un rôle dans la génèse des douleurs et de la fatigue.DESCRIPTION
The prolonged sitting position is often poorly supported. It is however necessary in a good number of activities. The static nature of the position probably plays a role in the genesis of pain and fatigue.

La présente invention permet de réduire ce type de problème et concerne la prévention des douleurs et fatigue en station assise ainsi que la rééducation liées aux pathologies lombaires.The present invention makes it possible to reduce this type of problem and relates to the prevention of pain and fatigue in a sitting position as well as the rehabilitation linked to lumbar pathologies.

Selon la présente invention, le dispositif est constitué d'un siège et d'un repose pieds.According to the present invention, the device consists of a seat and a footrest.

Le siège comprend une assise et un dossier réglable notamment
* une assise réglable en rotation autour d'un axe
horizontal permettant une inclinaison avant/ar-
rière dans un secteur de 25 degrés, réglable,
libre ou verrouillable.The seat includes a seat and an adjustable back including
* seat adjustable in rotation around an axis
horizontal allowing front / rear tilt
in a 25 degree sector, adjustable,
free or lockable.

* un repose pieds constitué d'un plateau incli
nable libre ou verrouillable et d'un dispositif
motorisé (C) permettant le déplacement vertical
et alterné de ce plateau sur une course réglable
à une vitesse variable en réglage continu.* a footrest consisting of an inclined tray
free or lockable deck and device
motorized (C) allowing vertical movement
and alternating from this plateau on an adjustable stroke
at a variable speed with continuous adjustment.

Les figures (1) et (2) sont respectivement des représentations du dispositif en position haute et basse du repose pieds.Figures (1) and (2) are respectively representations of the device in the high and low position of the footrest.

Le fonctionnement de l'ensemble du dispositif est coordonné par le corps de l'individu. Sa mobilisation cyclique et con tinu est rendue possible du fait du contact permanent avec le siège (position assise) et le repose pied.The functioning of the entire device is coordinated by the body of the individual. Its cyclic and continuous mobilization is made possible due to the permanent contact with the seat (seated position) and the footrest.

Sur la figure (1J, le plateau (A) du repose pieds est en position haute. Il est selon le cas, légèrement incliné, l'inclinaison ne dépassant pas en principe 15 degrés par rapport à la position horizontale.In the figure (1J, the plate (A) of the footrest is in the high position. It is, as the case may be, slightly inclined, the inclination not in principle exceeding 15 degrees relative to the horizontal position.

Le siège possède une assise (B) dont le mouvement de rotation est transmis par l'intermédiaire des jambes de l'individu, elles-mê-es mises en mouvement par le repose pieds. De ce fait, sur la figure (1) l'assise (8) est légèrement inclinée vers l'arrière. The seat has a seat (B) whose rotational movement is transmitted through the legs of the individual, themselves set in motion by the footrest. Therefore, in Figure (1) the seat (8) is slightly inclined backwards.

Sur la figure (2) le plateau est en position basse, et l'assise du siège, inclinée vers l'avant. In Figure (2) the tray is in the low position, and the seat, tilted forward.
