DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a chair which leans on a knee without bending it or sits only on the buttocks.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the westernization of Japanese life, chairs have been widely used not only at work and school, but also at home in chairs.

FIG. 1 shows the posture when sitting on a chair, and the weight of the body above the thighs is applied to the buttocks and hips.

[0004] On the other hand, when taking a brief rest, for example, a person sitting on a shallower seat than a normal chair, for example, as shown in FIG.
(Hereinafter, may be referred to as "leaning posture"). In this state, a certain amount of physical strength is applied to the seat portion of the chair, and at the same time, the weight is applied to the feet, so that the weight applied to the buttocks and the waist is reduced as compared with the state of sitting in a normal chair.

The above-described leaning posture is generally performed using a rest bar in a park or the like, a guardrail, a desk, or the like. At present, there is almost no standing chair. The reason for this is that chairs capable of leaning posture must have relatively high seats, but because of sitting while leaning, stability in the backward direction is necessary. This is because the grounding portion needs to be wide and heavy, and it is considered that a design satisfying this is practically difficult.

[0006]

However, when working at home or at work, or when queuing time for a performance or a game, etc., a standing chair that can be leaned down more than a normal chair. Was more convenient, and the provision of a sitting chair was demanded as practical furniture.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have conducted intensive studies to develop a lightweight and compact standing sitting chair while securing stability during use. The present inventors have found that the provision of the footrest portion enables the driver to stably lean in a sitting posture without falling down even if he / she puts weight on the rear side, and completed the present invention.

That is, the present invention includes a seat, a support, a ground contact, and a footrest. The support has an upper end provided with a seat, and the support has a lower end provided with a ground, respectively. A standing seat chair characterized by being provided with a footrest in the front direction connected to the chair.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of the standing chair according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a drawing showing a use state of the standing chair of FIG. In the figure, 1 is a seat, 2 is a column, 3
Denotes a ground contact portion, 4 denotes a footrest portion, 5 denotes a connecting member, and 6 denotes a height adjusting mechanism.

The standing chair shown in FIG. 3 is provided with a seat 1 at an upper end of a support column 2 and a grounding portion 3 at a lower end of the support column 2. It extends downward and connects the column 2 and the footrest 4. In addition, a height adjusting mechanism 6 is provided above the vicinity of the joint between the support 2 and the connecting member 5.
Is provided, so that the position of the seat 1 can be easily adjusted.

As shown in FIG. 4, this standing and sitting chair is used in such a manner that a foot is placed on a footrest 4 in a forward direction and a hip is leaned on a seat 1. In a posture where the buttocks are hung on the seat 1, the weight is applied to the rear, but as a result of holding the footrest 4 with the feet, the person does not fall down and can stably lean in the sitting posture. It becomes possible.

In the standing chair of the present invention, the material of the seat 1 is not particularly limited, and is the same as that of a general chair.
A urethane cushion covered with a cloth or a synthetic resin sheet, or a plastic, wood or metal material can be used. In addition, since the pillar 2, the grounding portion 3, the footrest portion 4, and the connecting member 5 all take considerable weight, materials having high strength, for example, metal such as iron, wood,
It is desirable to use a material such as hard plastic.
Further, the height adjusting mechanism 6 is preferably a known mechanism in which the upper portion 2a of the column 2 is fixed to the lower portion 2b of the column 2 by rotating the ring in the circumferential direction of the column. Note that such a height adjusting mechanism 6 is optional, and the height adjusting mechanism 6 may be omitted without this.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a standing chair according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the standing and sitting chair of this embodiment, the grounding portion 3 has an inverted U-shape, and a footrest portion 4 is provided at the tip thereof. Since the foot rest 4 has a flat plate shape, it is easier to put a foot thereon than in the embodiment of FIG. Further, the standing and sitting chair of this embodiment also has a height adjusting mechanism 6.
Is provided to enable adjustment according to the user's physique.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing another standing chair according to the present invention. The standing chair according to this embodiment includes a seat 1
The space between the support 2 and the connecting member 5 is foldable. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the seat portion 1 has two seat plate portions 1a and 1b pivotally mounted thereon. These seat plate portions 1a and 1b can be moved only upward. Has become. Also, between the support 2 and the connecting member 5,
For example, it is connected by a gear 7 that opens up to a right angle, and does not move when a force is applied later, but moves when a force is applied forward. In addition, the standing and sitting chair of this embodiment is also provided with a height adjusting mechanism 6 so that it can be adjusted according to the user's physique, and the upper column 2
If a can be stored in the column lower part 2b, the whole can be reduced and stored.

[0016]

In the standing and sitting chair of the present invention described above, a footrest is provided in the forward direction, and this part also acts as a ground contact surface. The chair can be stably leaned and seated in a sitting posture without the chair falling over.

By providing a height adjusting mechanism in the middle of the column, it can be used according to the user's physique. By providing a folding mechanism, the whole can be reduced and stored. , Easy to carry.

[0018]

The standing and sitting chair of the present invention can stably lean in a sitting position, so that it can be used when working at home or at work, or when waiting in a queue for a performance or a game, etc. Can be used conveniently.
