Definitions

  • the invention relates to a chair, in particular an office chair, with a synchronous mechanism.
  • Modern high-quality office chairs are usually provided with a synchronous mechanism, which ensures that the seat moves synchronously with the backrest.

  • DE 42 19 599 C2 an office chair can be removed, the seat surface inclines with a deflection of the backrest to the rear opposite to the front.
  • US Pat. No. 6,709,058 B1 discloses an office chair in which the force of the backrest counteracting an inclination mechanically adapts to the weight of a seated person.
  • the backrest support is bent over a pivot point on the support frame out up under the seat. By this bend in combination with the fulcrum, a rearward tilting movement of the backrest on the backrest support is converted into an upward movement of the seat. Since the point of contact of the backrest support acting on the seat surface makes a rotational movement, the force which opposes the seated person from the backrest is dependent on the absolute inclination position of the backrest support. It is an object of the invention to provide a chair of the type mentioned, which has an alternative mechanism for automatically adjusting the counteracting of the backrest of a force on the weight of the seated person.
  • a chair in particular an office chair, with a hinged to a support frame via a backrest support and a synchronous movable seat, which is connected in a Auf Vietnamese via a seat link pivotally connected to the support frame, the backrest support and the seat link are each rotatably mounted on the support frame, and wherein the back support and the seat spaced from each other via a single intermediate coupling member are coupled to each other such that a rearward tilting movement of the backrest is translated into an upward pivotal movement of the seat.
  • the invention is based in a first step on the consideration that the weight of a seated person is directed vertically downwards. If the tilting or rotary movement of the backrest is coupled directly to the seat surface via a suitably designed backrest support, then only the component which is tangential with respect to the rotational movement in the attachment point acts from the weight force. But this is the opposing force of the backrest acting against the o person depends on their inclination.
  • the invention proceeds from the consideration of overcoming this disadvantage, the seat with the backrest carrier spaced from each other via an interconnected individual coupling member to connect movable.
  • the rotational movement of the backrest and thus of the backrest support is transmitted via the coupling member to a movement of the seat.
  • the coupling via the coupling link offers additional mechanical degrees of freedom which allow the inclination of the backrest to be approximately converted into a uniform upward movement of the seat surface.
  • the basic principle is based on that an intermediate coupling member can be used to compensate for the described undesirable dependence of the generated per angular difference of the backrest stroke of the seat of the absolute inclination angle of the backrest. In this way it becomes possible to move from the backrest to a seated one Person held counterforce regardless of their absolute inclination to hold approximately equal.
  • the coupling member is formed by a pull rod which connects the seat with the backrest support movable.
  • the coupling of the backrest support to the seat surface via a pull rod provides additional mechanical degrees of freedom, which allow the desired movement of the seat.
  • Such mechanical degrees of freedom are the length of the pull rod on the seat surface or the location of the attachment points of the pull rod on the backrest support and on the seat surface.
  • the rotation caused parallel to the pull rod per rotation angle is dependent on the absolute rotational position.
  • the described coupling between seat and backrest support with a pull rod can thus be used to compensate for the described undesired dependence of the generated per angle difference of the backrest stroke of the seat surface of the absolute inclination angle of the backrest.
  • the backrest support is rotatably mounted on the bogie via a pivot bearing and has a pivot bearing, in which the pull rod is rotatably mounted, which is arranged in the direction of the seat link before and in the direction of the seat over the pivot bearing, on which the backrest support is attached.
  • the angular position between the tie rod and the tangent of the rotational movement of the backrest support is set in the starting or resting state of the chair in the attachment point.
  • the specified position ensures that a deflection of the backrest is converted from its rest position from the beginning in an offset of the pull rod.
  • variation is influenced whether a deflection of the backrest leads to a large or a small offset of the drawbar.
  • an angled pivot arm which receives the pivot bearing in which the pull rod is rotatably mounted, a material-saving and simple design can be achieved.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un siège, notamment un siège de bureau (2), comportant un dossier (5) sur un bâti de support (35), par l'intermédiaire d'un support de dossier (37), ainsi qu'une surface d'assise (3) déplaçable de manière synchrone par rapport audit dossier, qui est reliée au bâti de support (35), de manière à pivoter en un point de levage (15), par l'intermédiaire d'un bras oscillant de siège (15). A cet effet, le support de dossier (37) et le bras oscillant de siège (15) sont fixés, dans chaque cas, de manière rotative sur le bâti de support (35). Le support de dossier (37) et la surface d'assise (3) sont accouplés de manière mobile mutuelle, à distance l'un de l'autre, par l'intermédiaire d'un seul élément d'accouplement intercalé, de sorte qu'un mouvement de pivotement du dossier (5), dirigé vers l'arrière, soit converti, au niveau du point de levage (15) en un mouvement pivotant ascendant de la surface d'assise (3). Ce type de construction permet d'obtenir un équilibrage pondéral automatique, qui permet de maintenir la force antagoniste exercée par le dossier (5) sensiblement indépendante de l'inclinaison absolue.
