Definitions

  • the subject matter of the invention is a chair and multifunctional furniture with a (sitting) ball according to the preamble of claim 1 .
  • Sitting balls are frequently used as sitting elements, with a certain amount of danger existing in such a case because such a sitting ball is not fixed in any way and threatens to roll away.
  • conventional sitting balls their mobility, lightness, tearing strength (ABS), material properties and design are predominant features.
  • the present invention pursues the goal to arrange a chair with a sitting ball in such a way that it is secure and stable.
  • the respective chair shall offer more comfortable use than previous solutions and be more aesthetically pleasing.
  • the invention relates in a first embodiment to an apparatus with a cylindrical ball holder which encloses a translucent (sitting) ball in the lower region.
  • Office chair casters or sliders are optionally provided beneath the floor of a mobile holder.
  • Said mobile ball has a back-projection surface and is simultaneously a light fixture, decoration, TV, night or emergency lamp which is preferably supplied with power by a rechargeable battery.
  • the chair thus remains mobile.
  • the (sitting) ball is provided on its inside with loudspeakers, beamers, voice-activated switching parts, etc.
  • the cylindrical inner space of the base (ball holder) can be used as storage space.
  • the sitting ball is used on the one hand for ergonomically useful sitting and as a light fixture on the other hand in an especially preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • housing space is usually limited. That is why multiple use is considered in the case of larger objects. Such double use is considered due to the regular light distribution as a result of the regular semi-transparent surface of the ball.
  • LED lamps power consumption is so low that a lamp with a rechargeable battery will burn without a cable over several days with a soft appealing light.

  • FIG. 1 A first embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 1 . It concerns a chair 20 .
  • the chair 20 comprises a base 1 which is arranged in a cylindrical way.
  • a stable circular floor 4 is fastened in the area of the bottom side, which floor extends parallel to an imaginary front surface or the cylindrical ball base 1 .
  • Office chair casters 3 or sliders are attached underneath the same.
  • FIG. 1 shows such a caster by way of example.
  • a translucent (sitting) ball 8 is used which has a slightly larger diameter and which is placed in the base 1 .
  • the (sitting) ball 8 is preferably milky opaque to approx. 75%.
  • the (sitting) ball cannot roll away.
  • the translucent (sitting) ball 8 there is the possibility of a completely transparent (sitting) ball 8 which is covered by a translucent fabric or netting 7 , as shown in FIG. 1 .
  • the translucent fabric or netting 7 can be arranged in such a way it also develops the effect of a back-projection surface. Notice must be taken here that a completely transparent ball 8 will not retain the light on its surface 2 .
  • An LED lamp can be used for example as a light source/light fixture 5 .
  • An optical system is possible so that structures can be projected to the spherical surface 2 of the (sitting) ball 8 in the parallel light area.
  • a color changer can be provided which can be actuated with a switch or remote control.
  • the light cone emitted by the light source/light fixture 5 is represented in FIG. 1 by the conical area 12 .
  • base 1 can also be partly or fully lined with a reflective surface in order to inject light of a light source/light fixture 5 located in base 1 into the (sitting) ball 8 .
  • a transparent (partial) surface 2 can be chosen. The light will then radiate to the ceiling of the room.
  • the lighting function of the ball surface 2 can also be controlled with polarization filters or color filters. This leads to interesting lighting effects which are highly suitable as tempered ambient lighting. In the case of clear plastic mixtures, lateral light will be refracted, which in combination with a polarizing filter will lead to adjustable rainbow color effects.
  • An LED lamp is preferable because it uses little power, so that a rechargeable battery 6 can operate a lamp in a cordless way for nearly a week without recharging the battery 6 .
  • the battery 6 is recharged with a recharger from the outside by means of a socket 10 for example.
  • colored LED lighting means are used as a lamp, the light will project color or a motif to the translucent fabric or netting 7 which acts as a projection surface.
  • the light distributes regularly by lighting through a translucent ball membrane.
  • FIG. 2 A second embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 2 .
  • the (sitting) ball 8 is situated at the edge of a cylindrical element.
  • a cavity 13 is disposed beneath the same.
  • the base element 1 comprises a convex foot 11 .
  • a rechargeable battery 6 and light fixtures 5 are further integrated in the chair 20 .
  • the light fixtures 5 preferably one or several LED lamps
  • FIG. 3 shows the regular light distribution of the light 12 projected onto the ball surface.
  • the cylindrical base 14 is intentionally shorter in this variant (in the sense of less high).
  • the cylindrical diameter of the cylindrical base 14 can be reduced.
  • the (sitting) ball 8 will then roll off over the edges 15 without falling out of the cylindrical base 14 .
  • a translucent fabric/netting 7 can be pulled for additional security over the (sitting) ball 8 and can be fastened to the cylindrical wall of the base 14 .
  • the (sitting) ball 8 cannot fall out of the base, even under extreme use.
  • Office-chair casters 3 or sliders are attached beneath or on the cylindrical base 14 .
  • FIG. 3 shows such a caster 3 by way of example.
  • FIG. 4 A further embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 4 . It concerns a chair 20 in which the (sitting) ball 8 which is held with a soft-spring membrane is extended with a soft-spring or stiff legs 3 . 1 .
  • the ends of the legs 3 . 1 either comprise a slider or a caster 3 .
  • the (sitting) ball 8 rests in a cylindrical base 1 .
  • the extension of the chair 20 by the legs 3 . 1 makes the silhouette narrower, which thus increases lateral agility.
  • FIG. 5 is used as a motion diagram for understanding the invention.
  • the illustrated movement can also be transferred to the other embodiments of the invention.
  • the specific example concerns the chair 20 as shown in FIG. 4 where the (sitting) ball 8 is shown in different loading positions. Depending on the load, the (sitting) ball 8 moves to the right and left quasi in the cylindrical base 1 , but is fixed by base 1 .
  • the (sitting) ball 8 moves to the right and left quasi in the cylindrical base 1 , but is fixed by base 1 .
  • the membrane must be extensible by at least 10% and by 60% at the most, so that optimal mobility (dynamics) of the (sitting) ball 8 is obtained, especially laterally.
  • Every covering fabric or every covering netting 7 needs a cutting pattern that is adjusted to its stretching properties, so that mobility (in the sense of degree of freedom) is defined precisely.
  • the shape will be changed during pressure regulation.
  • the seating height can thus be adjusted with the change of the air quantity in the (sitting) ball 8 when the fabric or netting 7 will extend strongly in the standing direction.
  • FIG. 6 A further embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 6 .
  • the configuration is similar to the one in FIG. 4 .
  • casters 3 may be dangerous under certain circumstances. That is why sliders 16 may possibly be better suited than casters 3 .
  • they In the case of casters 3 , they must be braked in the unused state according to regulations, so that the user will not push away the chair 20 when sitting down and thus fall down.
  • FIG. 7 A further embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 7 .
  • the function is similar to the chair 20 according to FIG. 4 if the legs 3 . 1 plus rollers 3 or sliders were omitted.
  • the (sitting) ball 8 In order to predetermine the desired sitting height, the (sitting) ball 8 must have a larger diameter in the embodiment according to FIG. 7 . As a result of the air volume that is larger than other furniture 20 , the vertical mobility is enhanced more strongly.
  • the freedom of mobility of the legs of the user is slightly smaller than in the furniture 20 according to FIG. 4 due to the volume of the ball.
  • a lateral masking (cover) 17 of the casters or sliders 16 can be provided. Said masking (cover) 17 not only has a visual function. Once the user tilts the chair 20 , the masking (cover) 17 stands on its lateral edge 18 . When the chair 20 has casters instead of sliders 16 , the chair 20 will thus brake immediately. The chair 20 thus becomes considerably safer.
  • FIG. 8 A further embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 8 .
  • the (sitting) ball 8 is shown here too in different states of motion. It concerns a chair 20 with a wider base 19 which is provided on the left with sliders 16 and on the right with casters 3 . This variant is intended for use in rehabilitation.
  • FIG. 9 A further embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 9 .
  • the (sitting) ball 8 is shown here in two different states of motion. It concerns a chair 20 with a wider base 19 which is provided on the left with sliders 16 and on the right with casters 3 . This variant is also intended for use in rehabilitation.
  • the (sitting) ball 8 is inserted in a parallelogram-like flexible base 21 and comprises on the upper side a seating element or a kind of sitting cushion 22 . Interesting and stimulating motions are possible with this chair 20 .
  • This chair 20 is nevertheless stable and safe.
  • the degree of freedom of mobility is narrowed down in the various embodiments with increased air quantity. That is why the chair 20 in accordance with the invention preferably comprises a valve 9 in order to set mobility by filling the (sitting) ball 8 or by bleeding off air.
  • bases with another configuration or another shape can be used (see FIG. 9 for example) as long as it is ensured that the (sitting) ball 8 is given a fixed hold in or on the base 1 , 19 , 21 .
  • FIG. 10 A further embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 10 .
  • This chair 20 comprises a (sitting) ball 8 which is covered by a fabric or netting 7 .
  • the fabric or netting 7 encloses the membrane of the (sitting) ball 8 .
  • a funnel-like base 1 is fastened to the base plate 19 .
  • a second “funnel” is situated in a custom-fit manner in the same, which funnel has an edge with bores at the bottom end.
  • the base plate 19 can be screwed together from below with the funnel-like (conical) clamping element through the bores in such a way that the membrane is pressed between them in a stable way. Mounting, cleaning and exchanging the membrane of ball 8 is thus easily possible.
  • the (sitting) ball 8 is not clamped in this variant over the base 1 , but in the base 1 .
  • the (sitting) ball 8 will roll off, protected by the membrane, over the edge of base 1 during lateral movement and is delimited in a soft-spring way on the opposite side by the same membrane which limits the tensile strain occurring during the rolling away.
  • In the center of the running gear or substructure of this chair 20 there is a large opening in the base plate 19 through which the ball is guided for mounting before it is filled with air.
  • FIG. 11 A further embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 11 . It is characterized in that it is arranged in a similar way like the solution shown in FIG. 10 , but comprising a running gear with casters 3 beneath the base plate 19 .
  • the running gear is advantageously lower in the center than on the outside at the casters. Unnecessary loss of space is thus avoided.
  • a large opening is in the center of the running gear through which the (sitting) ball 8 is guided for mounting.
  • the (sitting) ball 8 of a further embodiment is shown in FIG. 12 .
  • the (sitting) ball 8 has a large opening. The opening is sealed with a cover 23 .
