Description

SPECIFICATION Height adjustment mechanism for swivel chairs and other articles of furniture This invention relates to height adjustment mechanisms including a gas cylinder for the seats of swivel chairs or table tops or other surfaces the height of which is to be adjusted. For ease of description height adjustment of merely the seats of swivel chairs will be referred to hereinafter but it is to be understood that such references are to be regarded as including similar height adjustment mechanisms of table tops and height-adjustable surfaces of other articles of furniture.
In such height adjustment mechanisms the gas cylinder comprises an upper tubular body member formed at its upper end with an axially extending spigot on which the seat is mounted.
The tubular body member forms or encloses a working cylinder in which a piston is slidable.
The piston is on the upper end of an upright piston rod anchored to the floor-engaging base of the chair. The working cylinder is filled, on both sides of the piston, with gas at high pressure and the gas cylinder is provided with a valve to control a gas-flow passage from one side of the piston to the other. Normally the valve is closed, restricting movement of the piston. The closed valve locks the height adjustment in a set position. When the valve is opened flow of gas from one side of the piston to the other can occur allowing movement of the piston and thus alteration of the height adjustment to a new set position.
The valve is usually disposed at the head of the working cylinder and may be operated by an arm acting on a plunger extending axially from the upper end of the tubular body member but, in gas cylinders known as side-release gas cylinders, the valve is operable by an arm which extends through an aperture in the side of the wall of the tubular body member immediately below the seat or other surface.
The upper end of the tubular body member is subjected to bending moments by the occupant of the chair and particularly in the region immediately below the point of attachment of the seat to the body member. Fatigue fracture of the body member is apt to occur as a result of this stress with the risk of explosive failure of the gas cylinder involving the ejection of components exposed to the high gas pressure in the gas cylinder. Side-release gas cylinders are particularly vulnerable in this respect. Failure almost invariably occurs in the region of the aperture in the tubular body member provided for the valve operating arm.
It is an object of the present invention to improve the safety in this respect of gas pressure spring height adjustment mechanisms.
According to a first aspect the present invention consists in a gas cylinder of a height adjustment for swivel chairs or other articles of furniture, the gas cylinder having an upper tubular body member formed at its uper end with an axially extending spigot smaller in diameter than the tubular member wherein the gas cylinder is reinforced by a steel sleeve having a cylindrical wall with an inwardly turned lip at its upper edge, the cylindrical wall having a bore diameter which is a tight fit on the body member below the spigot and the inwardly curved lip defining an opening which will receive the spigot but not the body member below the spigot and the inwardly curved lip engaging the shoulder formed in the tubular body member by the axially extending spigot.
The tight fit of the reinforcing sleeve is preferably a force fit which is a light drive fit requiring the use of a light press for the assembly of the reinforcing sleeve on the upper tubular body member.
For side release gas cylinders a hole is pierced through the cylindrical wall of the reinforcing sleeve in register with the aperture in the tubular member for the operating arm.
The steel reinforcing sleeve may be covered by a plastics sleeve of thermally-shrinkable material, such as celluloid caused to contract upon the steel sleeve by the application of heat.
The plastics sleeve provides a protective finish to the reinforcing sleeve and can also be decorative. For side release gas cylinders the plastics sleeve will also have a hole in register with the hole in the reinforcing sleeve.
To ensure that the reinforcing sleeve grips the tubular body member satisfactorily the sleeve should have an interference fit on the body member and be fitted by the use of a press to force the sleeve axially onto the tubular member.
According to a second aspect the present invention consists in a method of reinforcing a gas pressure spring of a height adjustment for swivel chairs or other articles of furniture of the kind which has an upper tubular body member formed at its upper end with an axially extending spigot smaller in outside diameter than the body member comprising the steps of forming a reinforcing sleeve with a cylindrical wall and an inwardly turned lip at its upper end from steel tube having a bore diameter which is a tight fit on the body member below the spigot, forming the inwardly turned lip on one end of the tube so as to define an opening which will allow the spigot to pass through but not the body member below the spigot, placing the sleeve over the spigot with the lip uppermost and, with the aid of a press, forcing the cylindrical wall of the sleeve down the tubular member as far as the lip will allow.
According to a third aspect the present invention consists in a reinforcing sleeve for a gas cylinder of a height adjustment mechanism for swivel chairs or other articles of furniture, the sleeve having a cylindrical wall with an inwardly turned lip at its upper edge defining a circular opening the diameter of which is less than the bore diameter of the sleeve, the sleeve being made from cold finished seamless or electric resistance or induction welded steel having a yield strength in the range 320 to 560 N/mm2, the tube being finished with a bore diameter equal to that required in the cylindrical wall of the sleeve and the lip being cold formed.
The use of cold finished tube which is not subjected to subsequent heat treatment or to hot working in the forming of the lip results in a sleeve having a high yield strength. This is an important attribute as the reinforcing sleeve must be able to conform to deflections of the tubular body member, due to gas pressure and bending moments, without permanent deformation and consequent loosening of its grip on the body member.
The reinforcing sleeve must be strong enough to strengthen the body tube adequately but not be too rigid as it must allow the body tube to deflect to a certain extent.
In this respect the wall thickness of the reinforcing sleeve is important and wall thicknesses between 1.57 mm and 4.76 mm may be used. The greater wall thicknesses within the range are preferred though the wall thickness may be reduced as the tensile strength of the material chosen increased.
The materials of the tensile strength within the ranges specified become more liable to result in slackening of the grip of the reinforcing sleeve and even fatigue fracture with increase of tensile strength. Materials having yield strengths within the range 320 to 450 N/mm2 are preferred.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a diagrammatic section on line I-I in Fig. 2 of part of a side-release gas cylinder height adjustment for a swivel chair or other article of furniture; Figure 2 is a section on line ll-ll in Fig. 1; Figures 3, 4 and 5 show stages in the manufacture of a reinforcing sleeve for the gas cylinder of Fig. 1; Figure 6 is a plan view of the reinforcing sleeve of Fig. 5; Figure 7 illustrates a stage in the assembly of the reinforcing sleeve on the gas cylinder; and Figure 8 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing the reinforcing sleeve of Figs. 5 and 6 fitted to the gas cylinder height adjustment of Fig. 1.
The gas cylinder height adjustment shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is of a known kind and, when fitted to a swivel chair, is usually mounted in a pillar tube supported in an upright position by a floor pedestal. The height adjustment has an outer tube 1 which is rotatable and axially has an outer tube 1 which is rotatable and axially slidable in the pillar tube under the control of the gas cylinder. At its upper end the outer tube 1 is formed with a tapering tubular spigot 2 to which is clamped the seat of the chair or a part, such as a table top, of some other article of furniture the height of which is to be adjustable. At the junction of the spigot 2 with the remainder of the outer tube 1 a shoulder 3 is formed. In the region of the shoulder 3 the outer tube 1 is lined by a stop member 4 which is complementary to the internal shape of the outer tube 1 at the shoulder.The stop member 4 has three depending legs against the lower ends 5 of which abuts a plug 6 fitting the bore of the outer tube 1. The lower end of the plug 6 is reduced in diameter to receive the bore of a cylindrical liner 7 which the plug 6 locates co-axially in the outer tube 1 leaving an annular passage 8 between them.
Slidable in the bore of the cylinder liner 7, but not shown in the drawings, there is a piston mounted on the upper end of a piston rod which extends through a gland in a bottom plug of the cylinder liner 7 and outer tube 1. The lower end of the piston rod is anchored to the base of the pillar tube or the pedestal. The annular passage 8 extends the full length of the cylinder liner 7 and is open to the bore of the cylinder liner 7 below the piston through passages in the bottom plug. A valve 9, normally closed, is openable by actuation of a lever 10 which extends laterally through an aperture in the wall of the outer tube 1 just below the shoulder 3. The gas cylinder is charged with inert gas under high pressure. When the valve is open gas can flow from one side of the piston to the other through the annular passage 8 the passages in the bottom plug and passages 12 in the plug 6 allowing the piston to move in the cylinder liner 7 to permit height adjustment.
The spigot is subject to bending loads in normal use of swivel chairs and other furniture and explosive fatigue fracture of the outer tube 1 has been known to occur and always at the crosssection containing the opening 11 indicated by the line 13 in Fig. 2. If this happens the plug 6 is no longer held by the stop tube 4 and is forcibly ejected under the very high pressure in the gas cylinder.
The reinforcing sleeve according to the present invention indicated by the reference 14 in Figs.
5, 6 and 7 is provided to strengthen this region.
The sleeve 14 is made from a length of seamless steel tube 15 (Fig. 3) having a bore which is a tight fit on the outside diameter of the outer tube 1 below the shoulder 3. The initial length of the tube is approximately equal to the bore diameter of the tube. The upper end of the tube 15 is formed with an inwardly curved lip 16 defining a circular opening 17 the diameter of which is less than the bore diameter of the tube 15. After the formation of the lip 16 a hole 18 is pierced through the wall of the tube 15 to complete the sleeve 14. To assemble the reinforcing sleeve 14 on the gas cylinder height adjustment the lever 10 is first removed. The sleeve 14 is passed down over the spigot 2 until its lower end reaches the shoulder 3. The hole 18 is lined up with the aperture 11 in the outer tube 1.A small press tool 19 is then used, as illustrated in Fig. 7, to push the sleeve 14 down the outer tube 1 until it is prevented from going further by the engagement of the lip 16 with the shoulder 3. A sleeve 20 (Fig. 8) of thermally shrinkable plastics material such as heat shrink P.V.C. is placed around the sleeve 14 and subjected to a hot air blower to shrink the plastics sleeve 20 tight onto the metal sleeve 14. A hole in the sleeve 19 corresponds to the hole 15 and the two holes are arranged to coincide. The sleeve 20 provides a protective finish for the sleeve 14 and may bear printed matter. Finally the lever 10 is re-fitted by inserting it through the hole 15 and the aperture 11. Fig. 8 shows the completed assembly.
In the particular example illustrated and described the reinforcing sleeve has a wall thickness of 14 Standard Wire Gauge (2.03 mm) and a bore diameter of 27.87 mm with a manufacturing tolerance of +or- 0.025 mm for use on a tubular body member of 28mm outside diameter.
The reinforcing sleeve is made of cold finished steel tube having an ultimate tensile strength of the order of 520 N/mm2 and a yield strength of about 415 N/mm2. This is steel C in the table of seamless steel tubes given below.
The plastics sleeve 20 is of heat shrinkable P.V.C. initially 37 mm long 33 mm diameter and 0.15 mm thick. The reinforcing sleeve 14 is about 25 mm long and thus shorter than the sleeve 20. After shrinking, the plastics sleeve contrasts not only on the circumference of the reinforcing sleeve 14 but over the exposed edges at both ends of the metal sleeve 14.
Table I below gives the chemical composition (ladle analysis) and mechanical properties of hard, cold finished seamless steels suitable for the reinforcing sleeve. In each steel the phosphorous and sulphur contents do not exceed 0.05%.

Soft, cold finished steel tubes are given oniy a light finishing cold pass after the last heat treatment.Only those steel tubes in this class which are of higher tensile strength are suitable for the reinforcing sleeve as the light, final, cold finishing process does not increase the yield strength to the same extent as in hard, cold finished steel tube.
The chemical compositions and mechanical properties of suitable soft, cold finished welded steel tubes are given in Table Ill below. In each steel the phosphorous and sulphur contents do not exceed 0.05%.

For example for body members of usual size of the order of 25 to 30 mm outside diameter the bore of the reinforcing sleeve should be within -0.035 to -0.155 of the outside diameter of the body member. Such body members are usually made within close manufacturing tolerances but where there is any appreciable deviation between body members of the same nominal size it may be necessary to provide a range of sizes of reinforcing sleeves to ensure the correct fit.
