  • Chair body l4 consists ofone substantially nonyiclding and stiff back rest portion 80. one sub tantially noir (ill yielding and stiff leg portion 82. and one flexible. elastic seat portion 84. The three portions form the integral chair body 14.
  • Seat portion 84 is the connecting link between back rest portion 80 and leg portion 82.
  • Back rest portion 80 and leg portion 82 have. as is illustrated in FlG. 6. schematically and in eross-section. substan tially the shape of a tub or a trough with an arcuately shaped main part 81. laterally disposed ribs 83. and edge portions 85. which latter extend in a plane which is substantially normal to the plane of lateral ribs 83.
  • back rest portion 80 and leg portion 82 are obtained mainly as a consequence of the arcuate or tuh-shape of main part 81 ofthese portions 80 and 82.
  • lateral ribs 83 contribute of course also to these properties.
  • the up holstery can also contribute substantially to such properties of the chair body.
  • Seat portion 84 is shaped substantially as a part of a cylinder. A cross-section of seat portion 84 in a plane normal to the drawing plane of FIG. I will show that seat portion 84 is substantially flat along a line normal to a line intermediate the back rest portion 80 and leg portion 82. The stiff back rest portion 80 and the stiff leg portion 82 change into the flexible seat portion 84 in the areas 86 and 88 respectively. and seat portion 84 thus constitutes an elastic or flexible joint or link be' tween the back rest and the leg portions. A slight arching of seat portion 84 in transverse direction is admissihle in order to better hold the upholstery. The llcxibility and elasticity is not substantially impaired by such a measure.
  • Strap 36 is arranged in the lower third region of back rest portion 80 (FIG. 5). It is extended along a substantially horizontal line normal to a line intermediate back rest portion 80 and leg portion 82 and encircles tub-shapcd part 81 of back rest portion 80. Strap 36 can, as is illustrated in FIG. 5, he provided with projections 38 facing and fastened to part 8] on the outer wall of back rest portion 80. for instance with screws. Strap 36 is also provided with studs 30 on each of its lateral portions. as is depicted in FIG. 5. Studs 30 can be integral parts of strap 36 and be extended along a line normal to a line intermediate the back rest portion 80 and the leg portion 82.

Thus. arm rests 28 and 34 are holding the strap 36. Studs 30 are suspended or inserted in the rearwardly extended loops of arm rests 28 and 34 for this purpose. To prevent the loops from sliding off studs 30. the latter can he provided with beads having a larger diameter than the diameter of the rest of the stud body and being placed on the front end portions ofthe studs. Other means, eg. suitable stops, can of course he used for this purpose.
  • the second support area for chair hody I4 is located in the region between seat portion 84 and leg portion 82.

  • Triangular blocks 74 are used to fasten brackets 60 to the inner wall ofcavity 72.
  • Blocks 74 can preferably be made of the same material as brackets 60 and have a width which is the same as the width of brackets 60. e.g. between approximately 4 and 6 cm. This is of course not a necessary dimensional limitation. brackets 60 and blocks 74 can have any desired width in lateral direction.
  • FIG. 3 shows how block 74 is fastened to legs 62 and 64 of bracket 60 by means of screws 76 and 78 through the body of cavity 72.
  • the profile of block 74 preferably is the same as the profile of cavity 72 to conform to the latter so that as large as possible bearing area between block 74 and the body of cavity 72 can be ob tained.
  • FIG. I shows that the center line of brackets 60 is tilted rearwardly and counterclockwise at an angle a relative to a vertical line through the axis of shaft 48. This angle varies as the position of the chair body va ries. The arrangement is however so balanced that the center line of brackets 60 is always tilted rearwardly, never forwardly. for all possible positions of the chair body. Angle a can for instance be when the chair is not used.
  • leg portion 82 of the chair body will extend forwardly in a substantial horizontal direction. whereas back rest portion 80 will be inclined rearwardly. but only to a small degree (FIG. I and support the back of the user.
  • the arms of the user are supported by flexible arm rests 28 and 34. The steeper the sitting position is. the larger is the angle a.
  • the back rest portion 80 will tilt in a rearward direction. and the brackets will turn in a clockwise manner. The angle a between the center line of brackets 60 and the vertical line through the axis of shaft 48 will grow smaller. Leg portion 82 will be tilted more or less downwardly from its previous substantially horilontal position. Seat portion 84 which has a part-circular outline in the upright position will be flatter when the chair body is thus tilted rearwardly and counterclockwise. Studs 30 of strap 36 which supports back rest portion 80 follow. when back rest portion 80 is tilted rearwardly and downwardly. a circular line around a point 90. which is the point of intersection between legs l8 and hand supports 20. re spectively. Arm rests 28 and 34 remain stretched but are now stretched downwardly from point 90.
  • brackets 60 rotate rearwardly and downwardly around shaft 48. namely counterclockwise, in FIG. I.
  • the various possible upright. rest and lying positions can be reached by a simple shifting or displacement of the body weight of the user. cg. by thraightening out. pulling up or bending his legs and/or by more or less strong bending or inclination of the upper portion of his body.
  • the center point of stands 30 of strap 36 is located. when the chair is not used. between approximately 23 and 28 cm over the reference point. whereas the length of arm rests 28 and 34 between point and the center point of studs 30 is between approximately 30 and 33 cm.
  • the length of the flexible seat portion 84 along its outer curvature. is between approximately 12 and I8 cm, preferably l5 cm. when the chair is used. whereas it is between I] and 15 cm, when the chair is not used.
  • brackets 60 The larger the angle between the bars 62 and 64 of brackets 60 is, the more braking action between the chair body and the shaft of the support means can be achieved. Thus. the ease or difficulty with which the chair body can be tilted or lifted into various positions can be readily adjusted by increasing or decreasing the angle between bars 62 and 64 of brackets 60 by means of screws in bores 66.
  • the chair of the present invention can be tilted or lifted in a continuous stepless manner into any of the rest or upright positions if the user shifts or displaces his body weight in various ways and no separate adjust ment means of any sort are required.
