Description

  • The present invention relates to a device for adjusting the position of an armrest of a chair.
  • Currently it is known to provide chairs which comprise a seat, a back and lateral armrests on which the user can rest his forearms.
  • Armrests are known which can adjust their position substantially along an axis that is vertical with respect to the ground or can rotate substantially on a plane that is horizontal with respect to the ground.
  • However, these armrests of a known type have a drawback: since the back can oscillate and the seat can move, the user can assume a posture that causes the arms to be anatomically arranged on the armrests in a manner that creates tensions or fatigue since the anus are excessively or insufficiently flexed.
  • The aim of the present invention is therefore to solve the described technical problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited background art and thus providing a device that allows to achieve the optimum adjustment of the position of an armrest of a chair regardless of the position assumed by the back or by the seat.
  • Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a device in which this adjustment and its variation can be achieved rapidly and effectively.
  • Another object of the invention is to obtain a device in which this adjustment can be achieved and kept stable in a chosen position.
  • Another object of the invention is to obtain a device that can also be applied to chairs of a known type.
  • Another object of the invention is to obtain a device that is structurally simple, has low manufacturing costs and can be provided with ordinary known systems.
  • This aim and these objects, as well as others which will become better apparent hereinafter, are achieved by a device for adjusting the position of an armrest of a chair, characterized in that it has a clamp, stably associated with said chair, which interacts selectively with a vertical position selector, associated with a box-like body which constitutes said armrest, said vertical position selector being actuatable by virtue of means which can be activated by the user and comprise a slider which can slide below said armrest and is adapted to activate/deactivate the actuation of said vertical position selector.

  • The shell 27 is connected by snap action to the upper half-shell 6 and, by means of first screws 28 a, 28 b, to the lower half-shell 5, which in turn is to connected to the base 8.
  • The clamp 11 selectively interacts with a vertical position selector 29, which is associated with the boxlike body 4 that constitutes the armrest 2; in particular, the vertical position selector 29 has a second body 30 that is shaped substantially like a parallelepiped with a rectangular base on which a first slot 31 is provided transversely which acts as a seat for a second screw 32 for connection to said overlying shell 27.
  • A third tab 33 protrudes in the direction of said second tab 22 from the second body 30 of the vertical position selector 29, adjacent to the clamp 11, and multiple second teeth 34 are provided and protrude radially at the end of the third tab 33 that is directed toward said clamp 11 and are arranged so as to mesh selectively with the first teeth 23 of the clamp following a transverse movement that can be imparted to the vertical position selector 29 with respect to the clamp 11.
  • This transverse movement is actuated by a slider 35 which can slide in a lower region and longitudinally with respect to the lower half-shell 5 since it has a wing 36, which can be gripped by the user, from which a protrusion 37 protrudes which is accommodated slidingly within a seat 38 provided longitudinally to the lower half-shell 5, connected at the free end to a longitudinal bar 39 which in turn is slidingly associated longitudinally and internally with respect to the lower half-shell 5.
  • The longitudinal bar 39 has, at an end 40 that is directed oppositely with respect to the clamp 11, a hole 41 which acts as a seat for a third screw 42 for connection to the protrusion 37 of the slider 35.
  • At the end 43 of the longitudinal bar 39 that is directed toward the clamp 11 there is a fourth tab 44, which has a substantially square plan shape and lies on a plane that is lower than the plane of arrangement of the second body 30.
  • A second slot 45 is provided on the fourth tab 44 and is inclined, substantially along a diagonal, with respect to the fourth tab 44.
  • A third pivot 46 acts at the second slot 45 and protrudes below the second body 30 in a region that is adjacent to the first slot 31.
  • A longitudinal movement of the slider 35 is matched by a movement of the tab 44 that entrains the third pivot 46, which imposes a transverse movement to the second body 30 by such an extent as to disengage the second teeth 34 from the first teeth 23; by doing so it is possible to impose an upward or downward rotation to the armrest 2.
  • There is a first elastically deformable element 47, interposed between a first wing 48 which protrudes from the longitudinal bar 39 proximate to the third screw 42, and there is a second wing 49, which protrudes from the lower half-shell 5 at a third slot provided axially to the longitudinal bar 39.
  • There is a second elastically deformable element 51 interposed between the internal side wall 52 of the lower half-shell 5, toward which the second body 30 moves, and a pivot 53 which protrudes from the facing side of the second body 30.
  • The first and second elastically deformable elements 47, 51 allow the slider 35 and the second body 30, respectively, to return to their position once the actuation of the slider 35 by the user has ceased.
  • There is a pair of fourth screws 54 a, 54 b which are adapted to connect the lower half-shell 5 to the shell 27, the screws being preferably arranged to the side of the seat 38.
  • Operation is as follows: starting from the condition shown in FIG. 6, when the user wishes to change the inclination of the armrest 2 it is sufficient for him to grip the slider 35 with his fingers, pulling it toward its free end.
  • By doing so, a longitudinal movement is imposed on the longitudinal bar 39, which in turn imposes a transverse movement on the second body 30 of the vertical position selector 29 until the first teeth 23 are disengaged from the second teeth 34.
  • It thus possible to raise or lower the armrest 2 to the desired position.
  • When the user releases the slider 35, the first elastically deformable element 47 and the second elastically deformable element 51 return to its position the second body 30 so that the first teeth 23 resume engaging the second teeth 34.
  • It has thus been found that the invention has achieved the intended aim and objects, a device having been obtained which allows to achieve the optimum adjustment of the position of an armrest of a chair regardless of the position assumed by the back or by the seat, so that the user can arrange his arms in an anatomically correct or preferred condition.
  • This adjustment and its variation can be achieved rapidly and effectively and can be achieved and kept stable in a chosen position.
  • Furthermore, the device can also be applied to chairs of a known type and is structurally simple, has low manufacturing costs, and can be provided with ordinary known systems.
  • The materials used, as well as the dimensions that constitute the individual components of the invention, may of course be more pertinent according to the specific requirements.
  • The characteristics indicated as advantageous, convenient or the like may also be omitted or be replaced with equivalents.
