Definitions

  • a seat comprising a rear portion with a depression and having a rearmost portion adjacent to the rear of the depression which rises in a smooth curve to the rear edge of the seat. Side portions of the seat are disposed adjacent to and laterally of the depression and each side portion rises in a smooth curve to the respective lateral edge of the seat. The seat further has a flat portion at the front and the side portions each slope upwards towards the front portion, the slope decreasing gradually to nil where the side portions meet the front fiat portion.
  • This invention relates to seats.
  • Various existing chair bottoms have a shaped seat which forms a wedge-shaped surface, straight or curved, rising towards the rear, to serve as a support for the pelvis of the person using it.
  • a rear portion having a depression therein, a rearmost portion adjacent to the rear of the depression and rising in a gentle curve to the rear edge of the seat, side portions adjacent to and laterally of the depression, each said side portion rising in a gentle curve to the re spective lateral edge of the seat, and a front flat portion of the seat, the side portions each having a slope upwards towards the front portion which decreases gradually to nil where the side portions meet the front flat portion.
  • That portion of the seat which is right in front, i.e. the frontmost portion and which extends from the absolutely horizontal or fiat portion towards the front edge and the two side edges may have the shape of a double trapezium with a common base line.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a seat in accordance with the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a longitudinal section along the line I-I in FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURES 3 to 7 are cross-sections along the lines IIII, III-III, IVIV, V-V and V'I-VI in FIGURE 2;
  • FIGURE 8 is a perspective view of another embodiment, the periphery of which differs somewhat from that shown in FIGURE 1.
  • the chair bottom here proposed has a seat which is made, more particularly, of some material which retains its shape, plywood or plastics being prime examples. What is aimed at is the provision of a good posture, resulting from the shape of the seat surface here proposed.
  • the rear portion of the seat contains a depression 7, to accommodate the users tuber ischii.
  • This feature gives freedom of side movement to the users thighs.
  • Region 5 of the front part of the seat is not curved or shaped in any way across the seat.
  • frontmost portion 6 of the seat curves downwards, from region 5 towards the front edge and the two side edges 3 of the seat, to avoid the pressure of a hard edge on the thighs.
  • This novel seat design is medically acknowledged to offer the best seating characteristics.
  • a person sitting for long periods at a time is completely free to alter his posture. He can avoid the wedge effect and sit back, which means that he can avail himself of any desired change in the position of the chairback to shift the surface pressure. He can use the chairback to take his weight and support his body, without needing to dispense with a shaped seat having the advantage of reducing pressure on the muscles round the tuber ischii. Exaggeration of the lumbar curve of the spinal column, which results from excessive strain on the small vertebral joints, due to this wedge effect, is substantially eliminated.
  • the seat described has the advantage that the chair seat enables the user to sit back and avoids the wedge effect, in addition to which the users pelvis is not brought into an unnatural shape.
  • each said side portion rising in a gentle curve to the respective lateral edge of the seat
  • the side portions each having a slope upwards towards the front portion which decreases gradually to nil where the side portions meet the front flat portion.
  • a seat according to claim 1 wherein the periphery of the seat, when projected, has the shape of a double trapezium with a common base line.
