Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a chair with a footrest, and more particularly to a chair with a footrest in which a part of the seat cushion also serves as an armrest.

Conventionally, chairs with footrests have been developed in reclining chairs, easy chairs, etc., in which a footrest is provided in the front part of the seat cushion so that the legs can be rested on the footrest for a comfortable rest. . This type of product has a link mechanism installed at the bottom of the seat cushion, a footrest is attached to this link mechanism, and is normally stored at the bottom of the seat cushion. There is a link type that can be extended and the footrest portion pulled out in front of the seat cushion. However, the link mechanism is not only complicated and expensive, but also undesirable from a safety standpoint, as fingers can get caught in the link mechanism or parts of clothing can get caught. Ta.

There is also a seat cushion with a foldable footrest attached via a connector to the tip of the seat cushion so that the footrest is raised only when in use, but this has the advantage of being simple and inexpensive; Since the footrest is folded into the lower part of the seat cushion, the length (size) of the footrest is restricted depending on the height of the leg of the chair, and disadvantages include the fact that the folded footrest hits the heel and gets in the way. It was hot.

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to eliminate the need for a separate footrest by using a part of the seat cushion as a footrest, and to provide a footrest with an extremely simple structure. An object of the present invention is to provide a chair with a footrest that can be used as a footrest. That is, this invention includes a seat cushion, a seat back provided at the rear of the seat cushion, armrests provided on both sides of the seat cushion and the seat back, and legs provided at the bottom of the seat cushion. A chair with a footrest, characterized in that the seat cushion and armrest are divided into front and rear halves, the front seat cushion can be pulled out forward, and the front armrest can be tilted inward. It is.

This invention will be explained below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a seat cushion portion in which a cushioning material such as urethane foam is covered with a skin material such as PVC leather; 2
and a rear seat cushion 3, and a seat back 4 is provided at the rear of the rear seat cushion 3 via a reclining mechanism as required. The front seat cushion 2 can be pulled out forward by sliding rods 5 attached to the lower portions of both sides and support pipes 6 provided to the lower portions of both sides of the rear seat cushion. The sliding rod 5 and the support pipe 6 are pipes made of a material such as iron or aluminum, and the sliding rod 5 is placed inside the support pipe 6 in which a slit 7 is formed in the length direction as shown in FIG. When inserted, the sliding rod 5 slides back and forth within the support pipe 6, and the front seat cushion provided at the tip thereof is pulled out. The slit 7 is designed so that the connecting portion between the sliding rod 5 and the front seat cushion does not come into contact with each other so that the front and rear seat cushions provided on the sliding rod 5 can be housed therein. Reference numeral 8 designates an armrest made of the same material as the seat cushion 1, which is divided into two parts in the front and back at the same position as the seat cushion 1, and the divided front armrest 9 is hinged so that it can be tilted inward. It is attached to the support pipe 6 via a connector 10 such as. That is, when the front seat cushion 2 is pulled out and used as a footrest, the front armrest 9 falls down to the place where the front seat cushion 2 was and becomes a part of the seat cushion. be. In this case, a support member (not shown) can be extended from the rear seat cushion 3 side to the bottom so that the front armrest 9 does not fall down more than necessary. In this case, the rear end of the sliding rod 5 may be bent so that the rear end of the sliding rod 5 serves as a support member for the front armrest 9 when the seat cushion is pulled out. In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a leg provided at the lower part of the seat cushion 1 to fix the rear seat cushion side.

This invention with the above structure allows a part of the seat cushion to be used as a footrest, so there is no need to provide a separate footrest, and it can be manufactured at a very low cost.
Moreover, since there is nothing protruding from the chair, it has great effects, such as eliminating problems such as clothes getting caught and heels getting in the way.
