Definitions

  • This invention is intended for the professional furniture industry, more specifically, the industrial sector dedicated to the construction of workstations and chairs.
  • the utility model CN87204900U with the title Barber's working chair describes a barber's chair in which the latter sits on a support element for the buttocks and another for shin support, as well as a complicated system of rails enabling circular movement around the client's chair.
  • These rails also hamper adequate cleaning of the chair and rails, because it is widely known that during a haircut, the floor becomes covered with hair. Again, this system is very complicated, at the same time being difficult to implement mechanically because of its high cost, and also gives the hairdresser little room for manoeuvre, so making it impractical.
  • the user of the chair must necessarily work sitting down, which hampers and even impedes his or her work, because certain techniques require the worker to be standing up to perform them.
  • this invention should provide an easily implemented technical solution avoiding the complicated devices and installations known in the state of the technique, while giving the user of the device freedom of movement, leaving him or her free of ties and fastenings while allowing work positions in sitting, bended knee and standing positions. It is also important to offer a solution which enables the hairdresser's mobility and improves his or her postural comfort without use of his or hands being required, as this would restrict the hairdresser's work.
  • this new workstation enables the hairdresser to work in optimum conditions of comfort. It has a saddle-like seat like those used in bicycles, so that, as well as being able to sit on it, the hairdresser can also stand without the seat preventing this position, and use it as additional support if he or she requires.
  • the invention also has a backrest with armrests which can be height-adjusted by conventional means. The fact that a saddle-type seat is used gives the hairdresser's legs an amount of freedom not offered by a conventional chair.
  • the structure or frame of the invention having means such as a conventional lifting system such as a piston to raise or lower the seat.
  • a conventional lifting system such as a piston to raise or lower the seat.
  • the natural position of this piston is extended, so it tends to elongate when the pressure exercised by the hairdresser is less than the force of the piston, so that when the hairdresser wants to raise his or her position, the piston's force will help this movement, lightening the muscular effort made without the action of the piston.
  • versions in which the piston is adjustable are envisaged.
  • the backrest can be slightly tilted and has conventional means for activating the piston valve such as an activation system consisting of a lever system like that used in an office chair with lift cylinder. So, in relation to what has been described, when the hairdresser wishes to lower his or her position, he will lean on the backrest which will tilt, activating the piston valve and enabling the seat and backrest to descend. It must be stressed that by acting on the piston drive in this way, the hairdresser does not use his or her hands, enabling him to work unhampered by operations which would complicate it or slow him down.
  • an activation system consisting of a lever system like that used in an office chair with lift cylinder.
  • the seat and backrest are integrated in a frame which is preferably tubular.
  • This frame has a side elevation with quasi-orthogonal geometry, where in the vertical part the hairdresser's seat and backrest are fixed and in the horizontal part, parallel to the floor, is the point of anchorage and turning about the client's chair.
  • the length of the horizontal part can be adjusted to suit the hairdresser's work position using known methods such as a system of concentric telescopic rods or the sliding of a tubular system using linear bearings.
  • the free far end of the horizontal part of the frame will be fixed to a turning element surrounding the base of the client's chair, so enabling the frame, and so the worker's station, to enable the hairdresser to work comfortably in his or her natural workspace.
  • the hairdresser will turn the structure about the client's chair manually, no additional mechanical action being necessary.
  • the horizontal part of the frame has at least one rolling element in contact with the floor giving support to the assembly and making it sturdier and more stable.
  • FIG. 1 shows an isometric view of the workstation in which the following can be seen:
  • FIG. 2 shows a side elevation of the workstation at its position of maximum height, with the hairdresser standing.
  • FIG. 3 shows a side elevation of the workstation in which the hairdresser is in a position with his legs half bent, in which the following can be seen:
  • FIG. 4 shows a side elevation of the workstation with the telescopic tubular structure ( 6 ) extended, where the anchorage ( 5 ) can also be seen.
  • the workstation has moved away from the client's chair with the seat/backrest assembly at its lowest position.
  • FIG. 5 shows a side elevation of the workstation with the telescopic tubular structure ( 6 ) withdrawn and the seat/backrest assembly at its highest position.
  • FIG. 6 shows a side elevation of the workstation in which the hairdresser is leaning against the backrest activating the lift system's actuation system ( 9 ).
  • a preferred embodiment of the new ergonomic workstation with assisted movement for hairdressers is proposed with a saddle-type seat ( 10 ) and supporting backrest with armrests ( 11 ) joined to a vertical section of a frame ( 4 ), the side elevation of which has a right-angled geometry and the horizontal portion parallel to the floor of which is fixed at its free end to a turning element ( 3 ) with an anchorage ( 5 ) which has a conventional torque between the two elements.
  • the turning element surrounds the base ( 2 ) of the client's chair ( 1 ) and is fixed to it by conventional means such as a screwed clamp joint.
  • the length of the horizontal section of the frame can be changed to adjust the hairdresser's work position by conventional means such as use of a telescopic tubular structure ( 6 ) with concentric rods.
  • the height of the seat/backrest assembly is adjusted with a conventional lift system ( 8 ) such as a gas piston, located in the vertical part of the frame under the seat, which is in its natural extended position when its valve is not operated and so tends to elongate when the pressure exercised by the hairdresser is less than the force of the piston.
  • a conventional lift system such as a gas piston
  • the hairdresser wants to lower his position, he activates the piston valve by making a movement to tilt the backrest, which orders activation of the valve through an activation system ( 9 ) consisting of a set of levers which join the backrest to the piston actuation valve, producing the consequent descent of the seat/backrest assembly.
  • It has at least one rolling support ( 7 ) as a caster wheel located in the horizontal section of the frame.
