Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable an aged or a physically handicapped to easily sit in a chair by installing arm rest parts rotatably round a shaft arranged a little to the center side from the outer edge part of a seat part to change the posture between a working posture and a storing posture, and locking the arm rest parts in the working posture. SOLUTION: The respective arm rest parts 2, 3 are fitted through a hinge mechanism and a lock mechanism 13 to change the posture between a posture (working posture) where a person subjected to hairdressing can have his arms placed thereon in the attitude of sitting on a barber or a beauty parlor chair 1 and a posture (suspended posture) where the person subjected to hairdressing gets on and off the chair 1. The axis of a pin (central shaft of rotation) of the hinge mechanism is arranged inside from the outer end part of a frame 11 by a designated distance. Thus, when the arm rest part 2 is turned downward, the arm rest part 2 enters the inside below a seat part 6. Further, the lock mechanism 13 can lock the arm rest parts 2, 3 in the working posture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a chair used for barber and beauty, and more particularly to a hairdressing and beauty chair improved for the elderly or disabled.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, hairdressing and beauty chairs have been provided with a backrest with a reclining mechanism or both elbows so that a customer (operated person) can relax and receive treatment. There is provided an elbow pad on which can be placed.

[0003] By providing the armrests on both sides of the hairdressing and beauty chair, it is possible to relax sufficiently while sitting on the chair. In other words, when sitting on the barber / beauty chair, it is not possible to sit from the side of the chair, and it is necessary to always move to the front of the chair and move the body backward. This is particularly difficult for the elderly and the handicapped when moving from a wheelchair to a beauty salon chair.

In order to avoid such inconveniences, for example, a mechanism (for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. Heisei 3) capable of rotating an elbow support upward.
It is conceivable to provide the method described in JP-A-35745.
With this configuration, the elbow support does not become an obstacle when sitting on the barber / chair, and the disabled person can easily move from the wheelchair to the barber / chair.

[0005] However, the provision of a mechanism for rotating the elbow support upward raises the following new problem particularly when used by a disabled person. That is, when a disabled person moves from a wheelchair to a hairdressing and beauty chair, usually a helper is required, but at this time, merely turning the elbow support upward,
The pivoted elbow rests in the way of the caregiver, which eventually makes it difficult to move from the wheelchair to the barber chair.

In order to avoid this problem, it is only necessary to rotate the elbow support from above the hairdressing beauty chair to the rear side. In general, barbers and beauty salons arrange a shampoo table or the like behind the hairdressing beauty chair. In many cases, this is an obstacle, and there is a unique problem that the elbow support cannot be rotated to the rear of the chair in many cases. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a hairdressing and beauty chair that is improved so that even the elderly and the disabled can sit easily.

[0007]

In order to achieve the object of the present invention, a hairdressing and beauty chair according to the present invention comprises a chair body having a stool and elbow rests provided on both sides of the stool. In the beauty chair, the elbow rest is accommodated in the lower part of the stool portion by pivoting outward from the use position in which the elbow can be placed, and from the use position to the center axis of rotation in a direction along the front-rear direction of the stool portion. Is provided so as to be rotatable around the rotation center axis disposed closer to the center side than the outer edge of the seating portion so that the posture can be changed between the accommodation posture and the elbow support portion. A lock mechanism for locking in a state is provided.

According to this configuration, since the center axis of rotation of the elbow rest is disposed in the direction along the front-rear direction of the seating part, the elbow rest is rotated by rotating the elbow rest in the use position. The chair can be turned outward with respect to the chair body to be in a state of hanging from the seat. In addition, since the rotation center axis is located closer to the center than the outer edge of the stool portion, the posture of the lower stool portion (storing position) by further rotating the hanging elbow rest portion Posture). In addition, the lock mechanism
The elbow support can be locked in the state of use.
