Chairs
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to chairs and more particularly to chairs designed to be used by children who are physically disabled or suffer from neurodegenerative/muscle/bone wasting diseases and the like. With such children it is often advisable or necessary to restrict or predetermine their seating position in order to either aid recovery or to facilitate therapy or to prevent physiologically undesirable seating configurations to be adopted by the child.
Background to the invention
The applicant already markets a range of chairs which provides some means for providing medically relevant restrictions on the posture or position of an occupant, typically a child. For convenience such chairs will be referred to as"therapeutic chairs". The present invention is connected with providing a therapeutic chair which has a more comprehensive range of adjustments/constraints than those of the prior art.
Brief Summary of the Invention
According to a first aspect of the present invention there is a chair which has a seat portion and a backrest portion which are mounted on a wheeled/castered base support, there being means for adjusting the height and the inclination of the seat parts/backrest portion as a unit the chair being provided with two or more of the following features: a) armrests which are adjustable in relation to the seat/backrest unit;
<Desc/Clms Page number 2>
b) an adjustable lumbar support; c) a pair of laterally adjustable pelvic constraints; d) a pair of laterally adjustable thigh abductors; e) an adjustable headrest; f) a pair of adjustable footrests; g) a pair of adjustable head constraints to constrain an occupants head in a lateral direction; h) a detachable tray.

Figures 1 and 2
These figures show the overall construction of a chair according to the present invention, with the exception of the optional tray which is shown in Figures 13 and 14.
The chair of Figures 1 and 2 will now be described in general terms and then with reference to the specific adjustable features which are shown in more detail in Figures 3 to 12 and 15.
The chair comprises a seat portion 10, a backrest portion 11, a lumber portion 12 and armrests 13a, 13b.
It also has a variety of other features all of which are adjustable and which will be described later.
The seat as a whole is mounted on a horizontal support frame 14
<Desc/Clms Page number 4>
which is essentially of t-shaped configuration in plan and consists of four arms 14a, 14b, 14c and 14d. The support frame 14 has four ground engaging castors 15a, 15b, 15c and 15d, the rear two 15b, 15c of which are provided with releasable brakes.
The frame 14 has mounted on it a first upstanding pillar 16. The pillar 16 serves as a mounting at its lower end for a pedal 17 and at its upper end for one of the ends of a parallelogram linkage 18. The other ends of the linkage 18 are connected to a second pillar 19 the upper end of which is secured to the underside of the seat portion 10.
A first hydraulic strut 20 is located within the first pillar 16 and has its bottom end connected to the pivotal pedal 17 and its top end connected to the parallelogram linkage 18 through a yoke 21.
The purpose of the parallelogram linkage 18 is to enable the second pillar 19 and thus the seat 10 mounted at its top end to be moved vertically as indicated by the arrow A as a result of the arcuate movement indicated by the arrow B.
The purpose of the pedal 17 is twofold. The first purpose is to enable the first hydraulic strut 20 to in effect be deactivated by depression of the pedal in order to allow the height of the seat to be adjusted. The second purpose is to provide a reaction point for the lifting or lowering of the seat by a person pulling upwardly or pushing downwardly on a handle 22 which is mounted at the top end of a post 28.
The connection between the upper end of the second pillar 19 and the underside of the seat portion 10 enables the latter to pivot with respect to the pillar 19 in order to change the inclination of the seat as a whole, as indicated by the arrow C.
This pivotal movement is controlled by a second hydraulic strut 23
<Desc/Clms Page number 5>
which is controlled by a lever 24. In order to raise or lower the seat the pedal 17 is first depressed in order to in effect deactivate the first hydraulic strut 20, the seat as a whole then being either raised or lowered by lifting or pressing on the handle 22 respectively.
Having described the basic construction of the chair and the way in which the height and inclination of the seat can be adjusted there will now follow descriptions of the other features of the chair which are illustrated in the drawings.
Figure 5 illustrates a headrest 26 which is adjustably mounted at 27 to the top of the post 28 which is adjustably mounted at its lower end to a box 29. The adjustable connection between the lower end of the post 28 and the box 29 is shown in more detail in Figure 16.
The basic seat structure 10,11, 12 previously described with reference to Figures 1 and 2 is provided with a variety of adjustable arrangements the purpose of which is to support, constrain or restrict the seating position or movement of the occupant of the chair. These adjustable arrangements will now be described.
The position or movement of the occupant on the seat portion 10 can be determined or constrained by means of two pelvic lateral constraint members 30a and 30b as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Each of these pelvic lateral constraint members 30a and 30b can be moved towards or away from one another as indicated by the arrow D in Figure 9. In addition each of the constraint members 30a, 30b can be pivoted horizontally as indicated by the arrow E by means of the adjuster 31 as shown in Figure 9.
Lateral shoulder constraints 32a and 32b are provided. Each lateral shoulder constraint 32a, 32b is moveable in the directions of the arrows F and G respectively by means of slidable/lockable adjusters 33 in order to
<Desc/Clms Page number 6>
adjust the transverse distance between the two head constraints, as indicated in Figure 10.
The shoulder constraints 32a and 32b are mounted directly into the back of the backrest 11 by means of bolts.
The chair is provided with a harness arrangement 34 and a lap belt
35.
The harness arrangement 34 consists of two optional shoulder straps 34a and a chest strap 34b.
The shoulder straps 34a are separate from the chest strap 34b, the latter being provided with a releasable buckle 36, a similar buckle 37 being provided to interconnect the two parts of the lap belt 35. The shoulder straps 34a are interconnected by an adjuster strap 34c the length of which can be varied by virtue of a Velcro (RTM) connection.
A very significant and important part of this embodiment is the provision of an arrangement, indicated at 38, for enabling the occupant's legs to be moved apart at the occupant's thighs, this being known as abduction.
The fully closed position of the arrangement 38 is illustrated in Figure 1 and its fully opened position is illustrated in Figure 3.
Each of the padded and resilient elements 38a and 38b is mounted on an associated frame 39a and 39b respectively.
Adjustable footrests 40a and 40b are adjustable on L-shaped brackets 48a and 48b mounted at the lower ends of the two frames 39a and 39b respectively, by means of adjusters 41a and 41b respectively and also adjusters 42a and 42b (Figure 11).
The footrests are provided with heal straps 43a and instep straps 43b and toe straps 43c to hold the occupant's feet in a good position.
This embodiment is provided with a detachable tray 44 shown in
<Desc/Clms Page number 7>
Figures 13 and 14. The tray is provided with two turn button locking mechanisms 44a and 44b on its underside which are designed to engage holes 45 in the armrests 13a and 13b.
The topside of the tray K is provided with an optional chest pad 46 and lip members 47 to prevent items on the tray from sliding off it.
Figure 12 illustrates an arrangement of two elbow constraints 59a and
59b. The purpose of the elbow constraints is to prevent the occupant's elbows from moving backwards and off the rear edge of the tray 44.
An adjuster mechanism having the construction of those illustrated in Figures 5,6, 9, 11 and 12 is shown in detail in Figure 15.
It consists of a base member 49, a bolt 52, an adjustable clamp member 50 and an Allen socket 51 in the head of the bolt 52 by which the arrangement can be tightened or loosened.
The linear and angular/pivotal adjustments that are provided at each of the adjustment points are indicated by the linear and arcuate arrows respectively in each of the relevant figures of the drawings.
The chair described above with reference to the accompanying drawings thus provides an almost infinite variety of adjustments so that the chair as a whole can be finely adjusted to suit a particular occupant, typically a child suffering from a neurodegenerative/muscle/bone wasting disease, cerebral palsy or the like.
The particularly therapeutic feature of the chair is that it facilitates a child being supported in a position which inhibits reflex or involuntary movements caused by their condition and also facilitates improved muscle tone in children with very low tone (floppy children).
In seating the most important thing is to achieve a hip position which reduces reflex activity and promotes muscle tone improvement and
<Desc/Clms Page number 8>
symmetry. In this chair the angle at the hips and many other combinations can be achieved as well as offering an enormous range of hip abducted positions. This means that the chair can provide the ideal sitting baselhip position for most children
